Investigation of quantum confinement phenomenon in composition- and diameter-modulated nanowires

The effects of diameter variation as a result of composition modulation along a nanowire on the confined energy states of electrons have been investigated theoretically. Possible confined states have been predicted by examining an effective potential term. Our results indicate that for a given radius of the wire, there exists a critical radius for modulation part below which carriers could not bound to the modulated part. The critical radius increases and reaches a limiting value as wire radius increases, specifying that the bound states could survive even when the radius of modulation decreases below the radius of remaining wire. Also, application of magnetic field could affect the critical radius so that the confinements to the modulated part are suppressed gradually by increasing the field strength, which is a sign of type-I to type-II transitions. Examination of results by the numerically solving the Schrodinger equation confirms the analytical predictions.

Airport management: taxi planning

The Taxi Planning studies the aircraft routing and scheduling on the airport ground. This is a dynamic problem, which must be updated almost every time that a new aircraft enters or exits the system. Taxi Planning has been modelled using a linear multicommodity flow network model with side constraints and binary variables. The flow capacity constraints are used to represent the conflicts and competence between aircrafts using a given airport capacity. The “Branch and Bound” and “Fix and Relax” methodologies have been used. The computational tests have been run at the Madrid-Barajas airport, using actual data from the airport traffic.     

A particle swarm pattern search method for bound constrained global optimization

In this paper we develop, analyze, and test a new algorithm for the global minimization of a function subject to simple bounds without the use of derivatives. The underlying algorithm is a pattern search method, more specifically a coordinate search method, which guarantees convergence to stationary points from arbitrary starting points. In the optional search phase of pattern search we apply a particle swarm scheme to globally explore the possible nonconvexity of the objective function. Our extensive numerical experiments showed that the resulting algorithm is highly competitive with other global optimization methods also based on function values. Support for Luís N. Vicente was provided by Centro de Matemática da Universidade de Coimbra and by FCT under grant POCI/MAT/59442/2004.     

Pion parton distributions in a nonlocal Lagrangian

We use phenomenological nonlocal Lagrangians, which lead to nontrivial forms for the quark propagator, to describe the pion. We define a procedure based on previous studies on nonlocal Lagrangians for the calculation of the pion parton distributions at low Q². The obtained parton distributions fulfill all the wishful properties. Using a convolution approach we incorporate the composite character of the constituent quarks. We evolve, using the Renormalization Group, the calculated parton distributions to the experimental scale and compare favorably with the data and draw conclusions.     

Influence of oxygen partial pressure on structural, transport and magnetic properties of Co doped films

Pulse laser deposited (PLD) thin films of Co doped TiO₂ on silicon and quartz substrates are investigated. A mixture (1:1) of argon and oxygen with various total pressures (6.6 mPa to 53 Pa) is used to vary the oxygen content in the samples. The crystal structure and transport/ magnetic properties of Co_xTi_1−xO_2−δ (x=0.01, 0.03, 0.06) thin films are found to have strong dependence on oxygen stoichiometry. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data reveal mixed phase material containing both anatase and rutile. However, the stability of each phase depends on the amount of oxygen present in the chamber during the growth of the films. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) shows the incorporation of Co in TiO₂ and is in the 2+ oxidation state. There occurs an enhancement in electrical conductivity and magnetization due to the off stoichiometric oxygen. The resistivity data follow a simple thermal activation model, giving carriers’ activation energies in the range of 20 to 140 meV. A bound magnetic polaron model is adopted to explain the observed magnetic behavior of the films.
