Optical-Oscillator strengths for Ca X,Sc XI,Ti XII,Cu XIX,Zn XX,Br XXV and Kr XXVI

Summary We have applied the Tiwary approach to calculate the opticaloscillator strengths, of both the length and velocity forms, for the inner-shell excitation1s ² 2s ² 2p ⁶ 3s ² S ^e →1s ² 2s ² 2p ⁵ 3s ^{2 2} P ⁰ transition in Ca X, Sc XI, Ti XII, Cu XIX, Zn XX, Br XXV and Kr XXVI ions of the sodium isoelectronic sequence employing Hartree-Fock (HF) and configuration interaction (CI) wave functions of both the initial and final states involved in the transition. Our present calculated results demonstrate that the Tiwary approach is capable of yielding encouraging results.

Light induced microstructure transformation in a-Si：H films

A series of a-Si:H films are deposited by hot wire assisted microwave electron cyclotron resonant chemical vapour deposition (HW-MWECR-CVD), subsequently exposed under simulated illumination for three hours. This paper studies the microstructure change during illumination by Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectra. There are two typical transformation tendencies of microstructure after illumination. It proposes a model of light induced structural change based on the experimental results. It is found that all samples follow the same mechanism during illumination, and intrinsic structure of samples affect the total H content.     

Investigation of the dissociative adsorption for cyclopropane on the copper surface by density functional theory and quantum chemical molecular dynamics method

The dissociative adsorption of cyclopropane on the copper surface was studied using quantum chemical molecular dynamics method with “Colors-Excite” code and density functional theory by Amsterdam Density Functional program (ADF2000). The excited state of cyclopropane was used as adsorbate to simulate the dissociated adsorption under an irradiation energy of ca. 10 eV. One of the C-C bonds in cyclopropane was broken and the two new bonds between cyclopropane and copper surface were formed. The electrons transferred from the copper atoms to cyclopropane with a value of about 0.2e. The shorter distances between the carbons and surface copper atoms showed the existence of strong interaction. Consistently, the results indicated metallacyclopentane was the most possible intermediate species in dissociative adsorption by ADF2000 and “Colors-Excite” method.     

Preparation and characterization of ZnO nanorods from NaOH solutions with assisted electrical field

ZnO naorods on ZnO-coated seed substrates were fabricated by solution chemical method from Zn(NO₃)₂/NaOH under assisted electrical field. The working mechanism of electrical field was analyzed and the factors affecting the rod growth such as potential, precursor concentration and growth temperature were elucidated. The structural and optical properties are characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, HRTEM and UV-vis. The results indicated that the nanorods have wurtzite structure without electrical field and are primarily of zincite structure under electrical field; when the electrical field is 1.1-1.3 V, not only the elevation of ion diffusion and adsorption lower the crystallite/solution interfacial energy and then the crystal nucleation barrier by increasing charge intensity, but also the production of H⁺ through oxidation of OH⁻ increases properly the degree of solution supersaturation near the substrate, and thus lowers the activation energy. Both the two processes do favor to rod growth. With increasing precursor concentration in this system, the average diameter and length of ZnO nanorods increase, leading to decreasing of optical transmittance. The maximum rod growth rate at given concentration of Zn²⁺ occurs at a specific temperature.     

Information recovery from black holes

We argue that if black hole entropy arises from a finite number of underlying quantum states, then any particular such state can be identified from infinity. The finite density of states implies a discrete energy spectrum, and, in general, such spectra are non-degenerate except as determined by symmetries. Therefore, knowledge of the precise energy, and of other commuting conserved charges, determines the quantum state. In a gravitating theory, all conserved charges including the energy are given by boundary terms that can be measured at infinity. Thus, within any theory of quantum gravity, no information can be lost in black holes with a finite number of states. However, identifying the state of a black hole from infinity requires measurements with Planck scale precision. Hence observers with insufficient resolution will experience information loss.

Bidirectional transfer of quantum information for unknown photons via cross-Kerr nonlinearity and photon-number-resolving measurement

We propose an arbitrary controlled-unitary(CU) gate and a bidirectional transfer scheme of quantum information(BTQI) for unknown photons.The proposed CU gate utilizes quantum non-demolition photon-number-resolving measurement based on the weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities(XKNLs) and two quantum bus beams;the proposed CU gate consists of consecutive operations of a controlled-path gate and a gathering-path gate.It is almost deterministic and is feasible with current technology when a strong amplitude of the coherent state and weak XKNLs are employed.Compared with the existing optical multi-qubit or controlled gates,which utilize XKNLs and homodyne detectors,the proposed CU gate can increase experimental realization feasibility and enhance robustness against decoherence.According to the CU gate,we present a BTQI scheme in which the two unknown states of photons between two parties(Alice and Bob) are mutually swapped by transferring only a single photon.Consequently,by using the proposed CU gate,it is possible to experimentally implement the BTQI scheme with a certain probability of success.     

催化剂组分对制备单壁碳纳米管的影响

Analytical solution to a mode of mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication with mixed contact regimes: Part I. Without consideration of contact adhering layer in the inlet zone

In 2005, Zhang presented a Grubin-like inlet zone analysis to the isothermal line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication under relatively heavy loads when the hydrodynamic film thickness in the Hertzian zone approaches zero and the EHL fluid is Newtonian [Zhang, Y.B. A justification of the load-carrying capacity of elastohydrodynamic lubrication film based on the Newtonian fluid model. Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2005, Vol. 57, pp. 224–232]. His results showed that in this EHL, when the rolling speed is lower than the characteristic rolling speed (U_ch =) 0.0372W^1.50/G, the Hertzian zone is in physical adsorbed layer boundary lubrication while the inlet zone is in conventional hydrodynamic lubrication. This mode of EHL represents a mode of mixed EHL with mixed contact regimes, where hydrodynamic films with different rheological behaviors occur in different areas of the contact. The present paper presents an analysis to this mode of mixed EHL by using the Grubin type method when the contact adhering layer in the inlet zone is neglected. Pressures, film thicknesses and load partition in the contact are obtained from this analysis. It is also found that the formula for the characteristic rolling speed U_ch = 0.0372W^1.50/G obtained by Zhang [Zhang, Y.B. A justification of the load-carrying capacity of elastohydrodynamic lubrication film based on the Newtonian fluid model. Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2005, Vol. 57, pp. 224–232] may be valid for the dimensionless load W > 1.0E−7, while it may be invalid for the dimensionless load W < 1.0E−8. In part II [Zhang, Y.B. Analytical solution to a mode of mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication with mixed contact regimes: Part II. Considering the contact adhering layer effect in the inlet zone. Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2006, Vol. 117. (doi:10.1016/j.molliq.2006.04.007)] will be presented an analysis to other two modes of mixed EHL with mixed contact regimes for relatively heavy loads, low rolling speeds and Newtonian fluids, where the conventional hydrodynamic lubrication, physical adsorbed layer boundary lubrication and oxidized chemical layer boundary lubrication can simultaneously occur in the inlet zone while the oxidized chemical layer boundary lubrication or the fresh metal-oxidized chemical boundary layer dry contact occur in the Hertzian zone, considering the contact adhering layer effect in the inlet zone.
