Large Absolute Photonic Bandgap at High Frequencies in a Two—Dimensional Photonic Crystal with a Hexagonal Structure

A new harge absolute photonic bandgap at high normalized frequencies can be obtained in a two-dimensional hexagonal structure with alumina cylinders in air by reducing the symmetry of the structure.An instructive procedure is described for finding the optimal configuration which gives the maximum absolute bandgap Δω=0.091(2πc/α).     

D—Wave Kondo Problem in a Square Tight—Bounding Lattice

A Kondo model in a square tight-bonding lattice of conduction electrons is considered.The Kondo interaction takes a d-wave.Using mean-field theory and numerical simulations,it is found that there is a pseudo-gap for the impurity density of states at the Fermi level.Numerical results also show that the exponents of the lowtemperature thermodynamic quantities are non-universal but dependent on the interaction.     

Fabrication of Nanoparticle Pattern Through Atomic Force Microscopy Tip—Induced Deposition on Modified Silicon Surfaces

With an atomic force microscopy (AFM)tip used as a “nib” and gold colloidal particles as “ink”,patterns of gold colloidal particles have been deposited successfully from the AFM tip onto specific regions of silicon surfaces modified by bifunctional mercaptosilane,i.e.(3-mercaptopropyl)-triethoxysilane.This was used as an adhesion agent and can immobilize nanoparticles delivered from the AFM tip onto the substrate surface.     

Phase—Locking in Coupled Chaotic Oscillators

The transition from the phase-unlocking state to the phase-locking state is found at the desynchronization of synchronous chaos of coupled oscillators.In the phase-locking case,the motions of all oscillators are chaotic and desynchronized,however spatial ordering is identified in their phase distribution.     

Electronic Transmission Properties of Two—Dimensional Quasi—Lattice

In the framework of the tight binding model,the electronic transmission properties of two-dimensional Penrose lattices with free boundary conditions are studied using the generalized eigenfunction method (Phys.Rev.B 60(1999)13 444).The electronic transmission coefficients for Penrose lattices with different sizes and widths are calculated,and the result shows strong energy dependence because of the quasiperiodic structure and quantum coherent effect.Around the Fermi level E=0,there is an energy region with zero transmission amplitudes,which suggests that the studied systems are insulating.The spatial distributions of several typical electronic states with different transmission coefficients are plotted to display the propagation process.     

Equation of State of Dense Liquid Nitrogen in the Region of the Dissociative Phase Transition

We have measured the equation of state for liquid nitrogen compressed dynamically to a pressure of 10-60 GPa by employing a two-stage light-gas gun.The data show a continuous phase transition above the shock pressure of 33GPa,as indicated previously by shock wave experiments.A theoretical model has been derived to examine the experimental data by inducing a molecular dissociative fraction.According to theoretical and experimental date the phase transition was thought to be a molecular dissociative phase transition.     

Atomic Magnetic Lattices and Their Applications

We propose a novel scheme to construct one-,two- or three-dimensional (1D,2D or 3D) atomic magnetic lattices by using various arrays of microscopic magnetic traps,which are composed of some arrays of current-carrying wires.The magnetic field distributions from 1D,2D and 3D arrays of the current-carrying wires are calculated,and some interesting and periodic magnetic microstructures are found.Our study shows that these magnetic lattices may be used to prepare 1D,2D or 3D photonic crystals and so on.     

Performance of the Self—Q—Switched Cr,Yb：YAG Laser

We report on the spectral properties of Cr,Yb:YAG crystal co-doped with 0.025 at.% Cr and 10 at.% Yb are reported.Using a continuous wave Ti:sapphire laser as a pumping source,we have demonstrated the self-Q-switched Cr,Yb:YAG laser at room temperature.We obtained an average output power as much as 75mW at 1.03μm with a pulse width (FWHM)as short as 0.4μs.The laser experiment demonstrated that the Cr,Yb:YAG crystal exactly combines the Cr^4 saturable absorber and Yb^3 gain medium.The Cr,Yb:YAG crystal can be a most promising self-Q-switched laser crystal for compact and efficient solid-state lasers.     

Spatial Interference Effect of Two—Photon in Femtosecond—Pules Pumped Spontaneous Parametric Down—Conversion

We have used the transverse correlated properties of the entangled photon pairs generated in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion,which is pumped by a femtosecond pulse laser,to perform Young‘s interference experiment.Unlike the case of a continuous wave laser pump,a broadband pulse laser pump can submerge an interference pattern.In order to obtain a high visibility interference pattern,we used a lens with a tunable focal length and two interference filters to eliminate the effects of the broadband pump laser.It is proven that the process of two-photon direct interference is a post-selection process.     

Experiments and Models of DNA Nano—Catenary Patterns Manipulated by Liquid Flow

Individual DNA molecules were first stretched by a centrifugal force and adsorbed on a modified mica surface.Then,a liquid flow was guided across the surface along a direction perpendicular to the aligned DNA strands.Some nano-catenary-like patterns of DNA molecules were formed,which were revealed by atomic force microscopy.A physical mechanism called the “s-suspension bridge” model has been presented,by which the features of the catenary-like patterns of DNA molecules can be understood quantitatively quite well.
