Comparison of resonant tunneling in AlGaAs/GaAs parabolic and diffusion modified quantum wells

Double barrier resonant tunneling diode using annealing induced diffusion modified quantum well is proposed as a viable alternative to that using parabolic quantum well which requires complex techniques to fabricate it. The transmission coefficients are calculated using the hybrid incremental airy function plane wave approach. The room temperature current-voltage characteristics have been calculated using transmission coefficients. The current-voltage characteristics are found to be similar in both diodes.     

The tuning characteristics of optically pumped fir cavity laser

Based on the quantum mechanics theory of density matrix and the principle of multiple-beam interference, the tuning characteristics of optically pumped NH₃ FIR lasers were studied. A series of metallic mesh Fabry-Perot cavity lasers with sample tubes of 10cm, 20cm and 100cm in length were constructed and operated successfully, and the FIR laser spectra of the NH₃ cavity lasers pumped by a TEA-CO₂ laser were measured.

Evolution systems on a lattice

In the framework of the algebraic geometric approach to differential-difference equations, we study symmetries and conservation laws of evolutionary systems on multidimensional lattices. We describe conservation laws in terms of their characteristics. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 157, No. 3, pp. 391–405, December, 2008.     

Two thresholds of a batch arrival queueing system under modified T vacation policy with startup and closedown

This paper studies the operating characteristics of the variant of an M^[x]/G/1 vacation queue with startup and closedown times. After all the customers are served in the system exhaustively, the server shuts down (deactivates) by a closedown time, and then takes at most J vacations of constant time length T repeatedly until at least one customer is found waiting in the queue upon returning from a vacation. If at least one customer is present in the system when the server returns from a vacation, then the server reactivates and requires a startup time before providing the service. On the other hand, if no customers arrive by the end of the J th vacation, the server remains dormant in the system until at least one customer arrives. We will call the vacation policy modified T vacation policy. We derive the steady‐state probability distribution of the system size and the queue waiting time. Other system characteristics are also investigated. The long‐run average cost function per unit time is developed to determine the suitable thresholds of T and J that yield a minimum cost.

Influence of the pile shape on wind erosion CFD emission simulation

When designing an open storage system for bulk material like coal or iron ore, operational and investment parameters are to be considered. Those inputs are always managed by engineers and prolific literature can be found. But entering into environmental parameters like wind erosion, few methodologies are available, US EPA being one of the most extensive. This source is focused on certain conditions of wind direction, pile shape, etc. what sometimes are not matching the most interesting way of storing the material: area restrictions, stacking means, etc. Based on state of the art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, in this case we have used ANSYS CFX 5.7., modelling system was developed and compared to EPA results for conical and oval with flattop piles. After adjusting the calculation process and selecting the most effective variables, the semicircular shape was studied finding that for the same amount of material stored, lower emissions and wind erosions are to be expected; however depending on wind direction higher values of friction per surface unit are found but due to its higher volume of storage per square metre, the balance is positive to the semicircular pile.     

Properties of a laser beam generated from an axicon resonator

A high power cw CO₂ laser beam is generated from a resonator configuration having an axicon mirror as its end reflector. The properties of this beam are evaluated in terms of its polarization, focusing capability and temporal stability and the resulting effects on processing materials are presented. A comparison is made between a folded and a straight resonator having a spherical focusing mirror as its end reflector.     

Modified method of characteristics in transient radiation transfer

This paper presents the modified method of characteristics for simulating multidimensional transient radiative transfer in emitting, absorbing and scattering media. The method is based on the method of characteristics that follows photons along their pathlines. It makes use of a fixed set of points, and unlike the conventional method of characteristics, it follows the photons backward in space. Test problems involving diffuse irradiation in 1-D and 3-D participating media and collimated irradiation in 1-D participating media were considered. The results show good agreement with analytical and numerical solutions reported in literature. The scheme is fast and was able to capture the sharp discontinuities associated with the propagation of a radiation front in transient radiation transport.     

Determination of the ESR parameters of Cu2+ doped in CdC4H4O6 · 5H2O single crystals using a statistical calculation technique

Electron spin resonance spectra of Cu²⁺-doped cadmium tartrate pentahydrate single crystals grown by the diffusion technique have been investigated at 77 K. Two magnetically inequivalent Cu²⁺ lattice sites were identified. For each site four hyperfine lines and some additional weak forbidden hyperfine lines due to the quadrupole interaction were observed. The spectra were analyzed by a perfect least-squares procedure based on an appropriate statistical model to determine the spin-Hamiltonian parameters.
