On Solving Three-Dimensional Electrostatic Field Distribution by Multigrid Method

A highly efficient numerical algorithm using the multigrid method (MGM) is introduced to solve a three-dimensional (3-D)field distribution. Taking advantage of the restriction and prolongation in MGM computation, a more accurate field distribution can be acquired rapidly. According to the MGM algorithm, a 3-D program is accomplished, which can solve the field distributions in electron optical systems for various electrostatic lenses. The 3-D field distribution in an electrostatic concentric spherical model is tested with the MGM algorithm and with an algorithm based on the finite difference method (FDM). Comparing these two results in terms of computational efficiency and computational accuracy, it appears that MGM is superior to FDM, which is now used the most in field computations. This paper shows that the 3-D field computation using MGM greatly improves the computational efficiency of field distributions in electron optical systems and shortens the computational time.     

Effect of Resonator Parameters on Frequency and Quality Factor of Gyrotron Resonators

The influence of some cavity parameters on the resonance frequency and quality factor is investigated with the aim of comparing various methods of optimization. As an example, the geometry of the designed resonator for an experiment on a multifrequency gyrotron that would operate at 140 GHz in the TE_22,8 mode is considered. This is a weakly–tapered conventional cavity resonator with parabolic–roundings. The influence of the roundings on the quality factor is at least as important as that of the cavity length and the output taper angle.     

Laser induced electronic acceleration process in nano dot

A physical model of the laser induced electron transport in dielectric with small size is discussed. The model assumes that free electrons are originally existent or produced by impact detrapping. The free electrons transporting in low dimensional dielectrics interact with phonons and surface. When the laser electric field strength is high enough, the inelastic electron scattering such as impact ionization and cascade processes will play important roles. A small size effect has been found in electron absorbing laser energy under the conditions that the laser wavelength is in near infrared zone and the material has size in nanometer level. This is a very significative effect to enlighten us on preparing ultrahigh threshold laser films with new nano-structure.     

绿泥石矿物成分与光谱特征关系研究

绿泥石矿物广泛发育于各种岩石和地质环境中,其化学成分的变化,可反映出其形成时的物理化学条件及其光谱特征的变化。为了探索矿物光谱特征与其矿物化学成分间的内在关联性,为利用高光谱技术探测矿物微观信息提供基础依据。通过薄片显微分析,鉴定了岩石样品中的矿物种类及矿物组合特征,圈定出典型的绿泥石矿物颗粒和划分了绿泥石的产状特征;并利用现代电子探针微区分析技术,测定了16件岩石样品中共146个具有典型代表性的绿泥石矿物颗粒的化学成分,据此计算了其n(AlⅣ),n(AlⅥ),n(Fe),n(Mg)与Fe/(Fe+Mg)比值等相关化学参数;此外对测量的岩矿光谱进行分析,提取了岩石样品中绿泥石矿物的特征光谱参量。在以上基础上,对绿泥石矿物的光谱特征参量和其主要晶体化学参数的关系进行分析研究,研究表明绿泥石矿物的诊断性特征吸收波长位置随绿泥石中Fe离子含量的增加而向长波方向移动。研究结果对于利用高光谱遥感技术进行蚀变矿物及造岩矿物种类、成分及结构特征的识别和探测具有重要的指导意义。     

速调管离子噪声特性的模拟分析

 离子噪声已成为影响现代微波管性能的一个重要因素，采用一维混合模型研究了速调管的离子噪声，用自编的1维粒子模拟程序对速调管的离子噪声特性进行了分析。采用小信号近似，从理论上推导出了速调管离子噪声与相位畸变关系的表达式，表明微波管相位噪声直接来源于管内离子量的变化。模拟了有离子噪声时速调管的相位特性，对模拟过程做了离子诊断并与实验结果进行比较，证明了模拟过程的正确性。探讨了电子束电流、电压以及聚焦磁场对离子噪声的影响规律，束电流与束电压改变后，离子噪声的周期与大小相应改变，增大束电流，离子噪声幅度会下降，并趋于稳定，而在束电流不变的情况下，离子噪声存在一个最小值。束电流与束电压确定，存在最佳的磁场使离子噪声幅度最小。     

First high-resolution analysis of the 4ν1+ν3 band of nitrogen dioxide near 1.5 μm

The high-resolution absorption spectrum of the 4ν₁+ν₃ band of the ¹⁴N¹⁶O₂ molecule was recorded by CW-Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy between 6575 and 6700 cm⁻¹. The assignments involve energy levels of the (4,0,1) vibrational state with rotational quantum numbers up to K_a=8 and N=48. A large majority of the spin-rotation energy levels were reproduced within their experimental uncertainty using a theoretical model which takes explicitly into account the Coriolis interactions between the spin-rotational levels of the (4,0,1) vibrational state and those of the (4,2,0) and of (0,9,0) dark states, the anharmonic interactions between the (4,2,0) and (0,9,0) states together with the electron spin-rotation resonances within the (4,0,1), (4,2,0) and (0,9,0) states. Precise vibrational energies, rotational, spin-rotational, and coupling constants were determined for the {(4,2,0), (0,9,0), (4,0,1)} triad of interacting states. Using these parameters and the value of the transition dipole-moment operator determined from a fit of a selection of experimental line intensities, the synthetic spectrum of the 4ν₁+ν₃ band was generated and is provided as Supplementary Material.     

Effect of external magnetic field on critical current for the onset of virtual cathode oscillations in relativistic electron beams

In this Letter we research the space charge limiting current value at which the oscillating virtual cathode is formed in the relativistic electron beam as a function of the external magnetic field guiding the beam electrons. It is shown that the space charge limiting (critical) current decreases with growth of the external magnetic field, and that there is an optimal induction value of the magnetic field at which the critical current for the onset of virtual cathode oscillations in the electron beam is minimum. For the strong external magnetic field the space charge limiting current corresponds to the analytical relation derived under the assumption that the motion of the electron beam is one-dimensional [D.J. Sullivan, J.E. Walsh, E. Coutsias, in: V.L. Granatstein, I. Alexeff (Eds.), Virtual Cathode Oscillator (Vircator) Theory, in: High Power Microwave Sources, vol. 13, Artech House Microwave Library, 1987, Chapter 13]. Such behavior is explained by the characteristic features of the dynamics of electron space charge in the longitudinal and radial directions in the drift space at the different external magnetic fields.     

Variable temperature EPR spectra of Copper (II) ions in kainite crystals

X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies on divalent copper ions embedded in KMgClSO₄·3H₂O single crystals have been performed at low temperature (123 K). The angular variation of the EPR spectra reveals the presence of two Cu²⁺ sites, which have different orientations. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters of this six-coordinated cupric ion have been evaluated from the EPR spectra at 123 K. The forbidden lines due to Δm_I=±1 transitions are observed in between allowed transitions. The temperature variation EPR studies have also been performed both for a single crystal and a polycrystalline sample. The ground state wavefunction of Cu²⁺ ions has been estimated and is found to be an admixture of d_3z²−r² and d_x²−y². The temperature variation of the EPR spectra reveals that Cu²⁺ ions exhibit dynamic Jahn-Teller effect. From the polycrystalline EPR data, the temperature dependent magnetic susceptibilities are evaluated and discussed.     

Effect of graded triple delta-doped sheets on the performance of GaAs based dual channel pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors

The characteristics of InGaP/InGaAs/GaAs dual channel pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (DCPHEMTs) with different graded triple delta-doped sheets are investigated and experimentally demonstrated. Based on a two-dimensional simulator of ATLAS, the band diagrams, electron densities and DC characteristics of studied devices are comprehensively analyzed. Due to the use of properly graded triple delta-doped sheets, good pinch-off and saturation characteristics, improved transport properties and wide current swing are obtained. For comparison, a practical DCPHEMT with good device performances is fabricated as well. It is found that the simulated data are in good agreement with experimental results.     

The use of trehalose in the preparation of specimens for molecular electron microscopy

Biological specimens have to be prepared for imaging in the electron microscope in a way that preserves their native structure. Two-dimensional (2D) protein crystals to be analyzed by electron crystallography are best preserved by sugar embedding. One of the sugars often used to embed 2D crystals is trehalose, a disaccharide used by many organisms for protection against stress conditions. Sugars such as trehalose can also be added to negative staining solutions used to prepare proteins and macromolecular complexes for structural studies by single-particle electron microscopy (EM). In this review, we describe trehalose and its characteristics that make it so well suited for preparation of EM specimens and we review specimen preparation methods with a focus on the use of trehalose.
