Laser rapid thermal annealing of quantum semiconductor wafers: a one step bandgap engineering technique

We report on a new Laser Rapid Thermal Annealing (Laser-RTA) technique for one-step bandgap engineering at selected areas of quantum semiconductor wafers. The technique is based on using a 150 W 980 nm fiber coupled laser diode and a 30 W TEM00 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for background heating and ‘writing’, respectively, the regions of the quantum well intermixed (QWI) material. The implementation of a 3D Finite Element Method for modeling of laser induced temperature profiles allows for the design of processing schemes that are required for accurate bandgap engineering at the wafer level. We demonstrate that arbitrary shaped lines of the QWI material can be fabricated with the Laser-RTA technique in InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum well microstructures.     

New progress on beam availability and reliability of PKU high intensity CW proton ECR ion source

The stability and reliability of an ion source and its beam availability are extremely significant for any accelerator,especially for those high current long term CW operation ones like ADS. Although the first high quality 306-hours continuous wave(CW) operating curve at 50 m A@35 ke V has been successfully obtained with a standard compact 2.45 GHz ECR ion source at Peking University(PKU), but the uncertainties that caused beam trips before are unacceptable during an accelerator real operation and should be eliminated. Meanwhile, no permission will be given when the beam power is upgraded from 50 m A@35 ke V to 50 m A@50 ke V. To improve the PKU CW proton source quality, several upgrades were done recently. After those improvements, a new long term CW proton beam experiment at 50 m A@50 ke V was carried out in June 2016. The total running time is 300.5 hours, including near 6 hours ion source preparation and 294 hours non-disturb continuous operation. Within the continuous 13 days operation, no beam-off happened, no spark was observed,no beam drop appeared, no interrupting action was needed, and only a few beam fluctuations caused by the air conditional failure occurred. Beam availability and reliability within the 294 hours is 100%. The root-mean-square(RMS) emittance of this 50 m A@50 ke V CW proton beam is about 0.186 π.mm.mrad. A careful inspection of the ion source was done after this long term operation and no obvious damage was found. The restart experimental results obtained after the ion source inspection prove the high repeatability of PKU PMECRIS. In addition, a 130-m A H+beam was obtained at 50 k V with duty factor of 10%(100 Hz/1 ms) with this source. Details will be presented in this paper.     

A first approximation for quantization of singular spaces

Many mathematical models of physical phenomena that have been proposed in recent years require more general spaces than manifolds. When taking into account the symmetry group of the model, we get a reduced model on the (singular) orbit space of the symmetry group action. We investigate quantization of singular spaces obtained as leaf closure spaces of regular Riemannian foliations on compact manifolds. These contain the orbit spaces of compact group actions and orbifolds. Our method uses foliation theory as a desingularization technique for such singular spaces. A quantization procedure on the orbit space of the symmetry group–that commutes with reduction–can be obtained from constructions which combine different geometries associated with foliations and new techniques originated in Equivariant Quantization. The present paper contains the first of two steps needed to achieve these just detailed goals.     

Local foliations and optimal regularity of Einstein spacetimes

We investigate the local regularity of pointed spacetimes, that is, time-oriented Lorentzian manifolds in which a point and a future-oriented, unit timelike vector (an observer) are selected. Our main result covers the class of Einstein vacuum spacetimes. Under curvature and injectivity bounds only, we establish the existence of a local coordinate chart defined in a ball with definite size in which the metric coefficients have optimal regularity. The proof is based on quantitative estimates for, on one hand, a constant mean curvature (CMC) foliation by spacelike hypersurfaces defined locally near the observer and, on the other hand, the metric in local coordinates that are spatially harmonic in each CMC slice. The results and techniques in this paper should be useful in the context of general relativity for investigating the long-time behavior of solutions to the Einstein equations.

The Low Energy Limit of String Theory and its Compactifications with Background Fluxes

String theory is consistently defined in ten dimensions. In order to extract any information about four-dimensional physics, we need to understand the properties of the six-dimensional compact manifold orthogonal to our four-dimensional universe. A possibility that is being very much explored lately is to look at manifolds on which background fluxes are turned on. In this article, we present an introduction to string theory, focusing on its massless sector. We then review traditional compactifications to four–dimensions, and finally motivate and describe the so-called flux compactifications. We interpret the allowed six-dimensional manifolds from the point of view of generalized complex geometry.     

Non-relativistic Limit of a Dirac Polaron in Relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics

A quantum system of a Dirac particle interacting with the quantum radiation field is considered in the case where no external potentials exist. Then the total momentum of the system is conserved and the total Hamiltonian is unitarily equivalent to the direct integral of a family of self-adjoint operators acting in the Hilbert space , where is the Hilbert space of the quantum radiation field. The fiber operator is called the Hamiltonian of the Dirac polaron with total momentum . The main result of this paper is concerned with the non-relativistic (scaling) limit of . It is proven that the non-relativistic limit of yields a self-adjoint extension of a Hamiltonian of a polaron with spin 1/2 in non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics.     

Construction of a central extension of a Lie group from its class of symplectic cohomology

Bargmann’s group is a central extension of Galilei group motivated by quantum-theoretical considerations. Bargmann’s work suggests that one of the reasons of the failure of naïve attemps to construct actions on quantum wave functions has a cohomologic origin. It is this point, we develop in the context of Lie groups with symplectic actions. Studying the co-adjoint representation of a central extension of a group G$G$, we highlight the link between the extension cocycles and the symplectic cocycles of G$G$. Also, each extension coboundary corresponds to a symplectic coboundary. Finally, we emphasize the condition to be satisfied by the extension cocycle for the class of symplectic cohomology of the extension being null. The method is illustrated by application to Physics.
