Chiral selective tunneling induced graphene nanoribbon switch

An armchair graphene nanoribbon switch has been designed based on the principle of the Klein paradox. The resulting switch displays an excellent on-off ratio performance. An anomalous tunneling phenomenon, in which electrons do not pass through the graphene nanoribbon junction even when the conventional resonance condition is satisfied, is observed in our numerical simulations. A selective tunneling rule is proposed to explain this interesting transport behavior based on our analytical results. Based on this selective rule, our switch design can also achieve the confinement of an electron to form a quantum qubit.

"广义芝诺悖论"的再探讨

在第25卷第5期的《大学物理》上,一篇文章对"广义芝诺悖论"进行了探讨,但他们分析的并不是"悖论"中的匀速率的理想运动,而且还存在推导错误.本文通过对"广义芝诺悖论"物理情境的分析,抽象建立起VPV模型,并由此得出:从运动学角度考虑,"广义芝诺悖论"正过程的初态和末态是"多对一"的关系,"广义芝诺悖论"并不为悖论.     

解释学循环与美诺悖论—来自海德格尔思想的启示

美诺悖论构成了解释学与知识论的一个重要联结点,长期以来人们对美诺悖论的探讨大都集中于认识论或知识论,然而站在今天欧陆哲学、尤其是海德格尔的立场,解释学与知识论具有某种内在的关联,但它们不是并列的关系,而是源生与衍生的关系。如此看来,解释学同样要面对美诺悖论。解释学理论的核心之一是解释学循环,而解释学循环发展到海德格尔阶段产生了重要的转折,进入到存在论−生存论的层次,它可为理解乃至化解美诺悖论提供一个很好的、富于启发性的视角。

Resolution of a Classical Gravitational Second-Law Paradox

Sheehan and coworkers have claimed [D. P. Sheehan et al., Found. Phys. 30, 1227 (2000); 32, 441 (2002); D. P. Sheehan, in Quantum Limits to the Second Law, AIP Conference Proceedings 643 (American Institute of Physics, Melville, NY, 2002), p. 391] that a dilute gas trapped between an external shell and a gravitator can support a steady state in which energy flux by particles in one direction is balanced by energy flux by radiation in the opposite direction, and in which work can be extracted from an isothermal heat reservoir, thereby violating the second law of thermodynamics. In this paper, we identify a fundamental error in their simulation and analysis of their model system that vitiates their conclusions. We analyze a simpler, exactly soluble, three-dimensional model of a very dilute gas in a gravitational field between two thermal reservoirs, and show that their conclusions are not supported for the simple model. We show that their method of simulation, when applied to either the simple model or their more complex model under simpler conditions where the answers are known, leads to unphysical results. We also show that, when appropriate sampling is done, their model gives results in accord with the second law and detailed balance.     

Reference Frames and Rigid Motions in Relativity: Applications

The concept of rigid reference frame and of constricted spatial metric, given in the previous work [Class. Quantum Grav. 21, 3067 (2004)] are here applied to some specific space-times: in particular, the rigid rotating disc with constant angular velocity in Minkowski space-time is analyzed, a new approach to the Ehrenfest paradox is given as well as a new explanation of the Sagnac effect. Finally the anisotropy of the speed of light and its measurable consequences in a reference frame co-moving with the Earth are discussed.     

受r^n分布载荷的楔：佯谬的解决

对表面受与ｒｎ（ｎ≥０）成正比的分布载荷的楔，当楔顶角２α与ｎ之间满足一定关系时，经典解为无穷大，这是一个佯谬．本文采用复变函数方法，研究了这个佯谬的所有情形，并发现存在二次佯谬，即对某些特定的（ｎ，α），佯谬解仍为无穷大，对此本文也予以解决     

The destabilizing effect of external damping: Singular flutter boundary for the Pflüger column with vanishing external dissipation

Elastic structures loaded by non-conservative positional forces are prone to instabilities induced by dissipation: it is well-known that internal viscous damping destabilizes the marginally stable Ziegler's pendulum and Pflüger column (of which the Beck's column is a special case), two structures loaded by a tangential follower force. The result is the so-called ‘destabilization paradox’, where the critical force for flutter instability decreases by an order of magnitude when the coefficient of internal damping becomes infinitesimally small. Until now external damping, such as that related to air drag, is believed to provide only a stabilizing effect, as one would intuitively expect. Contrary to this belief, it will be shown that the effect of external damping is qualitatively the same as the effect of internal damping, yielding a pronounced destabilization paradox. Previous results relative to destabilization by external damping of the Ziegler's and Pflüger's elastic structures are corrected in a definitive way leading to a new understanding of the destabilizating role played by viscous terms.
