Influence of binding energies of electrons on nuclear mass predictions

Nuclear mass contains a wealth of nuclear structure information, and has been widely employed to extract the nuclear effective interactions. The known nuclear mass is usually extracted from the experimental atomic mass by subtracting the masses of electrons and adding the binding energy of electrons in the atom. However,the binding energies of electrons are sometimes neglected in extracting the known nuclear masses. The influence of binding energies of electrons on nuclear mass predictions are carefully investigated in this work. If the binding energies of electrons are directly subtracted from the theoretical mass predictions, the rms deviations of nuclear mass predictions with respect to the known data are increased by about 200 ke V for nuclei with Z, N 8. Furthermore, by using the Coulomb energies between protons to absorb the binding energies of electrons, their influence on the rms deviations is significantly reduced to only about 10 ke V for nuclei with Z, N 8. However, the binding energies of electrons are still important for the heavy nuclei, about 150 ke V for nuclei around Z = 100 and up to about 500 ke V for nuclei around Z = 120. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the binding energies of electrons to reliably predict the masses of heavy nuclei at an accuracy of hundreds of ke V.     

Improving the precision of fluorescence lifetime measurement using a streak camera

Streak camera has high temporal resolution and high sensitivity, and is a powerful tool in biomedical study to measure fluorescence lifetime and perform fluorescence lifetime imaging. However, nonuniformity of the gain in the streak tube and nonlinearity of the sweeping speed limit the precision of fluorescence lifetime measurement, particularly when fluorescence lifetimes are short. We have constructed a two-photon excitation fluorescence lifetime measurement system that is based on a synchroscan streak camera and have developed accordingly a method to correct the effect of gain nonuniformity and nonlinearity of sweeping speed on the measurement precision. A continuous-wave laser of high stability is used to calibrate the gain of the streak camera, and a Fabry-Perot etalon is used to calibrate the nonlinearity of the sweeping speed. Fitting algorithms are used to correct the gain of the streak camera and nonlinearity of the sweeping speed respectively, which significantly improves the measurement precision of the system, as characterized through the fluorescence lifetime of the short-lived fluorescence dye, Rose Bengal. Experimental results show that the measurement fluctuation of the lifetime has been improved from more than 10% to 2% after correcting the effects of gain nonuniformity and sweeping speed nonlinearity.     

Faithful Entanglement Sharing for Quantum Communication Against Collective Noise

We present an economical setup for faithful entanglement sharing against collective noise. It is composed of polarizing beam splitters, half wave plates, polarization independent wavelength division multiplexers, and frequency shifters. An arbitrary qubit error on the polarization state of each photon in a multi-photon system caused by the noisy channel can be rejected, without resorting to additional qubits, fast polarization modulators, and nondestructive quantum nondemolition detectors. Its success probability is in principle 100%, which is independent of the noise parameters, and it can be applied directly in any one-way quantum communication protocol based on entanglement.     

1064 nm激光对中性密度滤光片的损伤机理研究

中性密度滤光片的典型结构是在K9玻璃上镀金属膜,来实现对激光的有效吸收.由于损伤阈值较低,严重限制了其在高能激光系统中的应用.实验研究了较高激光能量密度下滤光片的损伤形貌和损伤机理.损伤形貌的变化特征是:随着激光能量密度的增加,滤光片先出现损伤点,后以损伤点为中心产生裂纹,且裂纹长度逐渐变长,最终连接成线状和块状,导致大面积的薄膜脱落.建立了缺陷吸收激光能量升温致中性密度滤光片表面薄膜损伤的模型,计算了薄膜表面的温度和应力分布,讨论了薄膜表面不均匀温升造成的径向、环向和轴向热应力分布.理论分析显示:环向应力是造成薄膜沿径向产生裂纹的主要原因.当激光能量密度大于约2.2 J/cm²,杂质粒子半径大于140 nm且相邻杂质粒子之间的距离小于10 μ m时,裂纹才能大量连接起来引起薄膜的大面积脱落.

An Investigation of Negative Differential Resistance and Novel Collector–Current Kink Effects in SiGe HBTs Operating at Cryogenic Temperatures

In this paper, a new negative-differential-resistance (NDR) effect and a novel collector-current kink effect are investigated in the cryogenically operated SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). Theory based on an enhanced positive-feedback mechanism associated with heterojunction barrier effect at deep cryogenic temperatures is proposed to explain both the observed NDR and the collector-current kink. The accumulated charge induced by the barrier effect acts at low temperatures to enhance the total collector-current, indirectly producing both phenomena. This theory is confirmed using the calibrated 2-D DESSIS simulations over temperature. These unique cryogenic effects also have significant impact on the ac performance of SiGe HBTs operating at high injection. Technology evolution plays an important role in determining the magnitude of the observed phenomena, and the scaling implications are addressed. In addition, the present NDR effect is also compared with previously reported NDR and hysteresis effects observed in highly scaled SiGe HBTs operating under forced-I_B-base bias. The input drive condition of the transistor during its use in circuits, either under pure forced-current bias or under pure forced-voltage bias, or more practically, somewhere in between, determines the magnitude of the observed NDR and is of potential concern for circuit designers and must be carefully modeled
