基于有限元法的光子并矢格林函数重整化及其在自发辐射率和能级移动研究中的应用

任意微纳结构中量子点的自发辐射率和能级移动均可用并矢格林函数表达.当源点和场点在同一位置时,格林函数的实部是发散的.为解决这一发散问题,可采用重整化格林函数方法.本文提出一种计算重整化格林函数和散射格林函数的方法.该方法利用有限元,计算点电偶极子的辐射场,将其在量子点体积内做平均得到重整化的并矢格林函数,减去均匀空间中解析的重整化格林函数,得到重整化的散射格林函数.在均匀空间情况下,本方法所得数值结果与解析解一致.将该方法应用到银纳米球系统,以解析的散射格林函数作为参考,结果表明该方法能准确处理散射格林函数的重整化问题.将该方法应用到表面等离激元纳米腔中,发现有极大的自发辐射增强和能级移动,且该结果不依赖于量子点的体积.这些研究在光与物质相互作用领域具有积极的意义.     

理论预测超重核274-291Cn和266-287Ds的衰变模式

自发裂变和α衰变是影响超重核稳定性的两个主要因素。为了探索270Ds附近的长寿命的超重核,系统地计算了电荷数在104 ≤ Z ≤ 112范围内的α衰变与自发裂变之间的竞争。采用推广的液滴模型和唯象的解析公式计算了α衰变半衰期。基于包括壳效应和同位旋效应的WKB近似方法估算了相同超重核的自发裂变半衰期,进而预测了未知超重核274-276,279Cn与267-269Ds的衰变模式。The stability of superheavy nuclei (SHN) is controlled mainly by spontaneous fission and α decay processes. To investigate whether long lived SHN could really exist around 270Ds, the competition between α decay and spontaneous fission in the region 104 ≤ Z ≤ 112 are studied systematically. The α decay half-lives are investigated by employing a generalized liquid drop model (GLDM) and phenomenological analytical formula. Calculations of spontaneous fission half-lives for the same SHN are carried out based on the Wenzel-Kramers-Brillouin(WKB) approximation with both the shell effect and the isospin effect included. Decay modes are predicted for the unknown nuclei 274-276,279Cn and 267-269Ds.     

Efficient excitation and amplification of the surface plasmons

One dimensional (1D) grating has been fabricated (using focused ion beam) on 50 nm gold (Au) film deposited on higher refractive index Gallium phosphate (GaP) substrate. The sub-wavelength periodic metal nano structuring enable to couple photon to couple with the surface plasmons (SPs) excited by them. These grating devices provide the efficient control on the SPs which propagate on the interface of noble metal and dielectric whose frequency is dependent on the bulk electron plasma frequency of the metal. For a fixed periodicity (Λ = 700 nm) and slit width (w = 100 nm) in the grating device, the efficiency of SPP excitation is about 40% compared to the transmission in the near-field. Efficient coupling of SPs with photon in dielectric provide field localisation on sub-wavelength scale which is needed in Heat Assisted Magnetic recording (HAMR) systems. The GaP is also used to emulate Vertical Cavity Surface emitting laser (VCSEL) in order to provide cheaper alternative of light source being used in HAMR technology. In order to understand the underlying physics, far-and near-field results has been compared with the modelling results which are obtained using COMSOL RF module.Apart from this, grating devices of smaller periodicity (Λ = 280 nm) and slit width (w = 22 nm) has been fabricated on GaP substrate which is photoluminescence material to observe amplified spontaneous emission of the SPs at wavelength of 805 nm when the grating device was excited with 532 nm laser light. This observation is unique and can have direct application in light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Control of Spontaneous Emission via a Single Elliptically Polarized Light in a Five-Level Atomic System

We investigate the features of the spontaneous emission spectra in a cold five-level atomic system coupled by a single elliptically polarized control field. We use wave function approach to derive the explicit and analytical expressions of atomic spontaneous emission spectra. It is shown that some interesting phenomena such as spectralline enhancement, spectral-line suppression, spectral-line narrowing, spectral-line splitting and dark fluorescence can be observed in the spectra by appropriately modulating the phase difference between the right-hand circularly (LHC) and left-hand circularly (RHC) polarized components of the elliptically polarized control field and the intensity of external magnetic field. The number of emission peaks, the positions of fluorescence-quenching points can be also controlled. Furthermore, we propose an ultracold 87Rb atomic system for experimental observation. These investigations may find applications in high-precision spectroscopy.     

Numerical study of the spontaneous nucleation of self-rotational moist gas in a converging–diverging nozzle

Spontaneous nucleation is the primary way of droplet formation in the supersonic gas separation technology, and the converging–diverging nozzle is the condensation and separation unit of supersonic gas separation devices. A three-dimensional geometrical model for the generation of self-rotational transonic gas flow is set up, based on which, the spontaneous nucleation of self-rotational transonic moist gas in the converging–diverging nozzle is carried out using an Eulerian multi-fluid model. The simulated results of the main flow and nucleation parameters indicate that the spontaneous nucleation can occur in the diverging part of the nozzle. However, different from the nucleation flow without self-rotation, the distributions of these parameters are unsymmetrical about the nozzle axis due to the irregular flow form caused by the self-rotation of gas flow. The nucleation region is located on the position where gas flows with intense rotation and the self-rotation impacts much on the nucleation process. Stronger rotation delays the onset of spontaneous nucleation and yields lower nucleation rate and narrow nucleation region. In addition, influences of other factors such as inlet total pressure p ₀, inlet total temperature T ₀, the nozzle-expanding ratio ? and the inlet relative humidity ф ₀ on the nucleation of self-rotational moist gas flow in the nozzle are also discussed.     

Spontaneous swirling in MHD flows with circular streamlines

This paper considers the problem of the evolution of azimuthal perturbations in axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic. flows of an ideally conducting inviscid fluid with circular streamlines. The fluid is. in a toroidal gap between two surfaces with constant values of the stream function. The equations of. fluid motion are derived in the approximation of infinitely a narrow gap. The parameters at which. spontaneous swirling is possible are determined numerically, and the properties of secondary swirling. flows resulting from instability of the initial steady-state poloidal flow are established. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 50, No. 2, pp. 89–97, March–April, 2009.     

Modification of spontaneous emission rate of micrometer-sized light sources using hollow-core photonic crystal fibers

We investigate numerically and experimentally the modification of the spontaneous emission rate for micrometer-sized light sources embedded in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HCPCF). The diameter of the light source is deliberately chosen such that they could be easily introduced into the central hole of the hollow-core photonic crystal fiber by capillary force. The photoluminescence from the microparticles is measured by using an inverted microscope in combination with a spectrometer. The modification of the spontaneous emission rate is observed in a wavelength region where there is no band gap. The experimental observations are consistent with the simulation results obtained by the plane wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain techniques.
