Adsorption and manipulation of carbon onions on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite studied with atomic force microscopy

Carbon onions produced by DC arc discharge method were deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface and their adsorption and manipulation was studied using an atomic force microscopy (AFM). Well-dispersed adsorption of carbon onions on HOPG surface was obtained and aggregations of onions were not observed. The van der Waals interaction between the onion and HOPG surface and that between two onions, were calculated and discussed using Hamaker's theory. The manipulation of adsorbed onions on HOPG surface was realized using the AFM in both the raster mode and the vector mode. The controllability and precision of two manipulation modes were compared and the vector mode manipulation was found superior, and is a useful technique for the construction of nano-scale devices based on carbon onions.     

Dynamic single-mode and modulation characteristics analyses for λ/4 phase-shifted distributed feedback lasers with chirped grating

The dynamic single-mode and modulation performance of λ/4 phase-shifted distributed feedback laser diode with chirped grating (QWS-CG-DFB) are analyzed theoretically. The numerical simulation shows that, in contrast to purely QWS-DFB laser, the enhanced dynamic single-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) can be reached by QWS-CG-DFB laser. Under the smaller biasing current, the modulation band-width in presence of chirped grating is narrower, this difference shrinks for larger biasing current. For large signal modulation, the chirped grating is helpful to increase the output extinction ratio, but worsens the frequency chirping. The good dynamic characteristic can be obtained by selecting system parameters reasonably.     

湖北网湖^137Cs、^210Pb计年与沉积速率研究

采用放射性核素^137Cs和^210Pb计年法测定百年来湖北网湖沉积物的年代，据此计算出网湖的沉积速率．结果表明：2种计年方法测得的沉积速率基本一致，以1954年和1963年为时标，^137Cs测得的沉积速率分别为0．594cm·a^-1和0．557cm·a^-1。^210Pb计年法CIC模式计算得到网湖平均沉积速率为0．56cm·a^-1．CRS模式得到百年来网湖沉积速率变化较大，20世纪50年代以前，平均沉积速率为0．2cm·a^-1左右；50年代至80年代中期，平均沉积速率上了一个台阶，约为0．4cm·a^-1；80年代中期以后平均沉积速率攀升至约0．6cm·a^-1，网湖沉积速率变化与湖区自然环境的改变和人类活动的影响密切相关．

嵌段共聚物溶致液晶相中水的2H-NMR动力学分析

采用D₂O 的²H-NMR线型和弛豫分析了PEO-PPO-PEO/D₂O/对二甲苯体系的层状和六角液晶相的动力学行为. 通过实验测得了两个不同体系的自旋 晶格弛豫时间T₁、自旋-自旋弛豫时间T₂和²H-NMR 谱. ²H-NMR 谱均为具有四极劈裂的粉末谱线型，且在谱图的中心，β_LD=54.7°时存在一个倒峰. 倒峰的出现直接表明引起体系中弛豫的主要动力学过程处于极窄化区域. 采用NMR弛豫模型，通过调节动力学参数，使理论模拟的²H-NMR谱、弛豫时间、倒峰的大小与实验的对应量相吻合，求得了体系的动力学参数.     

Proposal of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment with molecules

Suppose that a pair of entities which have been generated jointly from a common source are separated by an experimental device so that they cannot interact any more. Then, strictly formulating within the framework of traditional quantum mechanics, the ensemble of all pairs may be represented by either a separable or a non-separable statistical operator. The former stands for the independence of the sub-ensembles whereas the latter admits correlations (EPR correlations) due to the presence of interference or cross terms. The second-order correlation function Δ, which is also amenable by experiment, adopts different values depending on the choice of the statistical operator. So, by performing an experiment of this kind with molecules, the question could be decided whether EPR correlations appear in the molecular domain too. A detailed elaboration of the following idea is presented: let an achiral precursor molecule M₂ dissociate so that two chiral fragments of different handedness are obtained. After separation R-M (L-M) interacts in a region of space A (B) with a photon I (II) in an already known linear polarization state. The enantiomeric correlation between the fragments is thereby conferred to the photons, and the corresponding changes of the polarization state are detected for different polarizer settings to finally yield Δ.

The Franson experiment revisited

Previously, the Franson experiment was challenged as a true test of local realism. In this Letter we review this situation and show that this experiment reveals a peculiar behavior when we try to, simultaneously, explain second and fourth order interferences. In order to enhance this idea, a proposed local model is discussed.     

All optical switching in semiconductor microresonators based on pattern selection

We present here a method for selecting optical patterns in a passive semiconductor microresonator, by using a spatial perturbation. A pattern is spontaneously generated in the system, and a switching beam causes this pattern to rotate even if the power in the switching beam is much lower than the power in the pattern. Thus, an all optical switch is realized, that operates at low light levels.

The generalized uncertainty principle in (A)dS space and the modification of Hawking temperature from the minimal length

Recently, the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has been extended to incorporate the existence of a large (cut-off) length scale in de Sitter or anti-de Sitter space, and the Hawking temperatures of the Schwarzshild–(anti) de Sitter black holes have been reproduced by using the extended uncertainty principle. I generalize the extended uncertainty to the case with an absolute minimum length and compute its modification to the Hawking temperature. I obtain a general trend that the generalized uncertainty principle due to the absolute minimum length “always” increases the Hawking temperature, implying “faster” decay, which is in conformity with the result in the asymptotically flat space. I also revisit the black hole-string phase transition, in the context of the generalized uncertainty principle.
