Surface elastic properties of Si decorated with Ni nanostructures

Brillouin spectroscopy was used to study elastic properties of the Si (1 1 1) decorated with Ni nanostructures deposited by nanospherical lithography. The height of the nickel nanostructure deposited was about 25 nm, while the area taken by the structure differed depending on the type of matrix used. It was found that the Ni nanostructures change the velocity of both bulk and surface phonons in the systems studied. This finding is in contradiction to the results concerning the surface phonons velocities in different media covered with a homogenous thin metal film, in which the effect was observed for films thicker than 70 nm.     

Solitary wave solutions of nonlinear financial markets :data-modeling-concept-practicing

This paper seeks to solve the difficult nonlinear problem in financial markets on the complex system theory and the nonlinear dynamics principle, with the data-model-concept-practice issue-oriented reconstruction of the phase space by the high frequency trade data. In theory, we have achieved the differentiable manifold geometry configuration, discovered the Yang-Mills functional in financial markets, obtained a meaningful conserved quantity through corresponding space-time non-Abel localization gauge symmetry transformation, and derived the financial solitons, which shows that there is a strict symmetry between manifold fiber bundle and guage field in financial markets. In practical applications of financial markets, we have repeatedly carried out experimental tests in a fluctuant evolvement, directly simulating and validating the existence of solitons by researching the price fluctuations (society phenomena) using the same methods and criterion as in natural science and in actual trade to test the stock Guangzhou Proprietary and the futures Fuel Oil in China. The results demonstrate that the financial solitons discovered indicates that there is a kind of new substance and form of energy existing in financial trade markets, which likely indicates a new science paradigm in the economy and society domains beyond physics.      

Thermal Effects of Microwave Energy in Agricultural Soil Radiation

The thermal treatment by millimeter waves for the soil disinfection can be one possible alternative to chemical treatments. This physical method is based on incrementing the soil temperature and its pathogens irradiating with high frequency electromagnetic waves. So the previous knowledge of the temperature distribution in the irradiated soil is essential for achieving an effective bad microorganism and weed seeds elimination. This report analyse the heating kinetic and spatial distribution of the maximum temperatures reached by the soil. It is presented a mathematic model about how are distributed the reached temperatures in the depth of the irradiated soil. This model concludes that when an orchard soil is irradiated superficially by microwaves, the microwaves have a big attenuation due to the soil dielectric properties and the water located in the pores of the most superficial layer. This fact causes a shield effect blocking the waves penetration in few centimetres. The heating by radiation is reduced to the superficial layer. The heating propagation in the depth is occurred by conduction following the Fourier equations.     

On linear and nonlinear Rossby waves in an ocean

This paper deals with recent developments of linear and nonlinear Rossby waves in an ocean. Included are also linear Poincaré, Rossby, and Kelvin waves in an ocean. The dispersion diagrams for Poincaré, Kelvin and Rossby waves are presented. Special attention is given to the nonlinear Rossby waves on a β-plane ocean. Based on the perturbation analysis, it is shown that the nonlinear evolution equation for the wave amplitude satisfies a modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The solution of this equation represents solitary waves in a dispersive medium. In other words, the envelope of the amplitude of the waves has a soliton structure and these envelope solitons propagate with the group velocity of the Rossby waves. Finally, a nonlinear analytical model is presented for long Rossby waves in a meridional channel with weak shear. A new nonlinear wave equation for the amplitude of large Rossby waves is derived in a region where fluid flows over the recirculation core. It is shown that the governing amplitude equations for the inner and outer zones are both KdV type, where weak nonlinearity is balanced by weak dispersion. In the inner zone, the nonlinear amplitude equation has a new term proportional to the 3/2 power of the difference between the wave amplitude and the critical amplitude, and this term occurs to account for a nonlinearity due to the flow over the vortex core. The solution of the amplitude equations with the linear shear flow represents the solitary waves. The present study deals with the lowest mode (n=1) analysis. An extension of the higher modes (n?2) of this work will be made in a subsequent paper.     

Thermal effects on parallel resonance energy of whistler mode wave

In this short communication, we have evaluated the effect of thermal velocity of the plasma particles on the energy of resonantly interacting energetic electrons with the propagating whistler mode waves as a function of wave frequency and L-value for the normal and disturbed magnetospheric conditions. During the disturbed conditions when the magnetosphere is depleted in electron density, the resonance energy of the electron enhances by an order of magnitude at higher latitudes, whereas the effect is small at low latitudes. An attempt is made to explain the enhanced wave activity observed during magnetic storm periods.     

高斯光束在克尔型非线性介质中的演化特性

由光束在克尔型吸收介质中传输的非线性薛定谔方程,推导了高斯光束注入介质后满足的耦合方程,并分别在不考虑吸收和高阶展开项的情况下,对脉冲的腰斑半径的演化进行了理论分析。发现当注入脉冲满足一定的条件时,脉冲可以以“孤波”的形式传播。当考虑吸收和高阶展开项时,脉冲不存在“孤波”形式,且存在一个阈值,低于阈值的输入,脉冲发生自聚焦;对高于阈值的输入,腰斑半径随着距离的增加而增加,聚焦趋势根本就不存在。

Magnetic properties of the Cr(0 0 1) surface studied by spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy

The magnetic properties of the Cr(0 0 1) surface have been studied by spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy (SP-STS). Spatially resolved mapping of the spectroscopic dI/dU signal at an energy close to the spin-polarized Cr(0 0 1) surface state allows the confirmation of the topological antiferromagnetic order of the Cr(0 0 1) surface. It is shown that the presence of screw dislocations leads to the formation of domain walls which exhibit a width of 120–170 nm. A long-period modulation of the SP-STS signal was not observed indicating that the bulk spin-density wave is modified at the surface due to symmetry breaking.
