A hybrid scheme for geoacoustic inversion

A hybrid inversion scheme of geoacoustic parameters, which combines dispersion characteristics of normal modes with transmission loss, has been proposed based on the facts that different parameters have different effects on sound field. First, considering the dispersion characteristics of normal modes were sensitive to the density and the sound speed of seabottom, and not sensitive to the seabottom attenuation coefficient, the group time delays of different modes and different frequencies were acquired through adaptive optimal kernel time-frequency representation, then the group time delays were taken as the cost function, and using a global optimal algorithm, the seabottom density and the profile of seabottom sound speed were deduced. Successively, the validity of inversion results was evaluated by the a posteriori probability. Last, the attenuation coefficient of sediment is inverted using the transmission loss data recorded from the ship radiation noise. The validity of the total inversion results has been evaluated by making use of the matched field processing source localization.     

Some Electromagnetic Transition Properties of Odd-A Europium Isotopes

In this work, we analyze the positive parity of states of odd-A Eu isotopes within the framework of interacting boson fermion model （IBFM-1）. The result of an IBFM-1 multilevel calculation with the 3s1/2, 2d3/2, 2d5/2, and 1g7/2 single panicle orbits is reported for the positive parity states of the odd-A Eu isotopes. A/so, an IBM-1 calculation is presented for the low-lying states in the even-even 152-154Sm core nucleus. The energy levels and B（E2） transition probabilities are calculated and compared with the experimental data. It is found that the calculated positive parity low spin state energy spectra of the odd-A Eu isotopes agree quite well with the experimental data.     

Controlling Entanglement Dynamics by Choosing Appropriate Ratio between Cavity-Fiber Coupling and Atom-Cavity Coupling

The entanglement characteristics including the so-called sudden death effect between two identical twolevel atoms trapped in two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber are studied. The results show that the time evolution of entanglement is sensitive not only to the degree of entanglement of the initial state but also to the ratio between cavity-fiber coupling （v） and atom-cavity coupling （g）. This means that the entanglement dynamics can be controlled by choosing specific v and ft.     

Nonlinear Flow Numerical Simulation of an Ultra-Low Permeability Reservoir

A nonlinear flow mathematical model is established and the grid equation is deduced. A nonlinear flow reservoir numerical simulation program is compiled. The permeability loss coefficient is used to describe the permeability loss. A pilot calculation is made on the basis of actual field data, which reflects the reservoir development characteristics. The numerical simulation program based on nonlinear flow can anticipate the dynamic characteristics of the ultra-low permeability reservoir exploitation more exactly.     

New Expressions for Dark-Hollow Light Beams

A class of new light beams of dark-hollow beams, named sinusoidal dark-hollow beams, is introduced. The propagation formula for a sinusoidal dark-hollow beam through a paraxial ABCD optical system is derived. The propagation properties of the sinusoidal dark-hollow beam are comparatively studied and illustrated with numerical examples.     

On the Generalized Continuity Equation

A generalized continuity equation extending the ordinary continuity equation is found using quanternions to show it is compatible with Dirac, Schrǒdinger, Klein-Gordon and diffusion equations. This generalized equation is Lorentz invariant. The transport properties of electrons are found to be governed by the Schr6dinger-like equation and not by the diffusion equation.     

Magnetic Properties and Magnetoresistance of CdMnS：Au Based Structures Prepared by Co-evaporation

Polycrystalline CdMnS and CdMnS：Au films with hexagonal structure on Si（111） substrates are prepared by co-evaporation, and exhibit ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, respectively. Under optimized growth conditions, CdMnS：Au samples with an average crystallite size of 90nm and Mn concentration of 5.0at.% are obtained, and an all-semiconductor spin valve device of Co/Au/CdMnS：Au/CdMnS/Pt is fabricated. Electrical measurement of the device reveals the clear dependence of resistance on applied magnetic field, with a relative magnetoresistance of 0.06% and a switching field of 100 Oe at 77K.     

Characteristics of Flow around an Impulsively Rotating Square Cylinder via LB-DF/FD Method

Flow around an impulsively rotating square cylinder in a viscous fluid in range of 1 ≤ Re ≤ 300 is numerically investigated by the previously developed LB-DF/FD method, which combines the lattilce Boltzmann method （LBM） and direct-forcing fictitious domain （DF/FD） scheme. Results show that in total three kinds of transient characteristics depending on Re are observed： 1 ≤ Re ≤ 20, four vortices arising from the corners of the square cylinder separate from the surfaces and gradually become stable without vortex integration or shedding; 20 ≤ Re 〈 100, vortices integration is observed when they grow long enough, then separated from each other; Re ≥ 100, vortex shedding takes place in this regime. The shedding vortex joins the downstream vortex to form a new one. It is also found that vortex shedding happens more than one time when Re ≥ 160. Furthermore, each vortex shedding induces a fluctuation in the torque exerted on the cylinder.     

Correlated Photon Pair Generation in Silicon Wire Waveguides at 1.5 μm

Correlated photon pairs at 1.5 μm are generated in a silicon wire waveguide （SWW） with a length of only 1.6 mm. Experimental results show that the single-side count rates on both sides increase quadratically with pump light, indicating that photons are generated from the spontaneous four-wave mixing （SFWM） processes. The quantum correlation property of the generated photons is demonstrated by the ratio between coincident and accidental coincident count rates. The highest ratio measured at room temperature is to be about 19, showing that generated photon pairs have strong quantum correlation property and low noise. What is more, the wavelength correlation property of the coincident count is also measured to demonstrate the correlated photon pair generation. The experimental results demonstrate that SWWs have great potential in on-chip integrated low-noise correlated photon pair sources at 1.5 μm.     

Influences of Interface States on Resistive Switching Properties of TiOx with Different Electrodes

Different TiOx thin films prepared by graded or sufficient oxidization of Ti are applied with Pt or Ag electrode in metal？insulator-metal （MIM） structures for studying the properties and mechanisms of resistive switching. The differences on the mobile oxygen vacancies in TiOx films and different work functions of the electrode films result in different insulator-metal interface states, which are displayed as ohmic-like or non-ohmic contact. Based on the interface states, the electrical models for MIM devices are analyzed and extracted. The electrode-limited effect and the bulk-limited effect can be unified to explain the mechanisms for resistive switching behavior as the dominant effect respectively in various conditions. All the current-voltage curves of the four kinds of specimens measured in the experiments can be explained and proved in accordance with the theory.
