Erratum to “Simultaneous effects of magnetic field and space porosity on compressible Maxwell fluid transport induced by a surface acoustic wave in a microchannel”

We would like to acknowledge the misprinted terms in our published paper “Simultaneous effects of magnetic field and space porosity on compressible Maxwell fluid transport induced by a surface acoustic wave in a microchannel” [Chin. Phys. B 22 124702 (2013)]. Since only two misprints exist and the main results of the published paper are correct, we present the correct equations in this erratum.     

Quantumness Measures for a System of Two Qubits Interacting with a Field in the Presence of the Time-Dependent Interaction and Kerr Medium

In this work, we introduce the standard Tavis-Cummings model to describe two-qubit system interacting with a single-mode field associated to power-law (PL) potentials. We explore the effect of the time-dependent interaction and the Kerr-like medium. We solve the Schrödinger equation to obtain the density operator that allows us to investigate the dynamical behaviour of some quantumness measures, such as von Neumann entropy, negativity and Mandel’s parameter. We provide how these entanglement measures depend on the system parameters, which paves the way towards better control of entanglement generation in two-qubit systems. We find that the enhancement and preservation of the atoms-field entanglement and atom-atom entanglement can be achieved by a proper choice of the initial parameters of the field in the absence and presence of the time-dependent interaction and Kerr medium. We examine the photons distribution of the field and determine the situations for which the field exhibits super-poissonian, poissonian or sub-poissonian distribution.     

采用光谱技术研究[C4mim][BF4]的传压和测压性能

金刚石压腔是一种在实验室被频繁使用的高压产生装置,它在高压领域占据着重要地位。当金刚石压腔内传压介质只能提供非静水压环境时,利用传统的红宝石荧光光谱测压方法将很难准确测量样品压强,这也是目前超高压实验面临的普遍困难。若有一种兼具“传压”和“测压”双重功能的物质,根据“相邻位置、相近压强”原则,将能够解决在非静水压环境中测不准样品压强问题。显然,探寻兼具“传压”和“测压”双重功能的物质是一项非常重要的工作。本文将红宝石微粒与离子液体[C₄mim][BF₄]装入金刚石压腔,然后利用金刚石压腔压缩[C₄mim][BF₄]使其提供高压环境,同时采集红宝石的荧光光谱及其附近[C₄mim][BF₄]的拉曼光谱。通过分析红宝石特征荧光峰R₁的峰位,得到了[C₄mim][BF₄]在加压过程中提供的一系列高压环境的压强值。通过分析红宝石特征荧光峰R₁的峰宽,发现[C₄mim][BF₄]在0~6.26和6.26~21.43 GPa两个压强范围内可分别提供静水压环境和准静水压环境,表明[C₄mim][BF₄]在0~21.43 GPa范围内可以作为传压介质使用。此外,还发现[C₄mim][BF₄]在0~2.28,2.28~6.26,6.26~14.39和14.39~21.43 GPa四个压强范围内分别为“液相Ⅰ”、“液相Ⅱ”、“非晶相Ⅰ”和“非晶相Ⅱ”。通过分析[C₄mim][BF₄]中特征拉曼峰ν_(B-F)和ν_(ring)的峰位,发现在[C₄mim][BF₄]四个相态内ν_(B-F)和ν_(ring)的峰位随压强增加均满足线性变化关系,并给出了相应的压强与峰位关系函数,这些函数是[C₄mim][BF₄]用作压标物质的重要依据。综上所述,[C₄mim][BF₄]不仅具有“传压”功能,同时还具有“测压”功能,可同时用作“传压介质”和“压标物质”。研究结果为在非静水压环境中准确测量样品压强提供了重要依据,也为超高压条件下样品压强测量不准确问题提供了新的解决思路。     

An analytical model for cross-Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level N-type atomic system with Doppler broadening

We present an analytical model for cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient in a four-level N-type atomic medium under Doppler broadening.The model is applied to87 Rb atoms to analyze the dependence of the cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient on the external light field and the temperature of atomic vapor.The analysis shows that in the absence of electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT)the cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient is zero,but it is significantly enhanced when the EIT is established.It means that the cross-Kerr effect can be turned on/off when the external light field is on or off.Simultaneously,the amplitude and the sign of the cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient are easily changed according to the intensity and frequency of the external light field.The amplitude of the cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient remarkably decreases when the temperature of atomic medium increases.The analytical model can be convenient to fit experimental observations and applied to photonic devices.     

Anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Kerr gyroscope

Non-Hermitian systems can exhibit unconventional spectral singularities called exceptional points (EPs). Various EP sensors have been fabricated in recent years, showing strong spectral responses to external signals. Here we propose how to achieve a nonlinear anti-parity-time ($\mathcal{APT}$) gyroscope by spinning an optical resonator. We show that, in the absence of any nonlinearity, the sensitivity or optical mode splitting of the linear device can be magnified up to 3 orders compared to that of the conventional device without EPs. Remarkably, the $\mathcal{APT}$ symmetry can be broken when including the Kerr nonlinearity of the materials and, as a result, the detection threshold can be significantly lowered, i.e., much weaker rotations which are well beyond the ability of a linear gyroscope can now be detected with the nonlinear device. Our work shows the powerful ability of $\mathcal{APT}$ gyroscopes in practice to achieve ultrasensitive rotation measurement.

首先建立大尺度分层介质粗糙面散射的物理模型, 基于Stratton-Chu积分方程和Kirchhoff近似导出了粗糙面散射场的计算公式. 采用高斯随机粗糙面来模拟实际的分层介质粗糙面, 通过数值计算得到了正下视单站雷达接收到的后向散射回波. 理论推导了散射场强度与表面粗糙度之间的定量关系, 并从数值仿真的角度分析了表面和次表面的粗糙度对散射回波的影响, 给出了散射场随粗糙度变化的曲线. 最后考察了分层介质的电特性参数(介电常数和电导率)对分层粗糙面散射场的影响, 并对计算结果做出了分析.     

Crystallinity and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Co nanowires in porous alumina

Crystalline Co nanowires were pulse electrodeposited into nanoporous aluminum oxide template having an ultra-thinned barrier layer. The effects of off-time between pulses and electrolyte acidity on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the nanowires were investigated. Increasing the off time between pulses increased the crystallinity and the alignment of easy axis with the wire axis. The rate of these increments was seen to depend on the electrolyte acidity and reached its maximum at pH=5.25 electrolyte acidity. Optimizing the crystallinity and crystal orientation, a coercivity value of 3320 Oe and a squareness of>90% were obtained for pure Co nanowires. A 10% increase in coercivity was found after annealing the samples.

Design and simulation of self-biased circulators in the ultra high frequency band

Theoretical models were developed to design self-biased Y-junction circulators operating at ultra high frequency (UHF). The proposed circulator designs consist of insulating nanowires of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) embedded in high permittivity barium-strontium titanate (BSTO) substrates. A design with as many as 10⁵ or greater wires may be considered in its entirety to determine the electromagnetic scattering S-parameters of a circulator design, thus helping to mitigate the computational limitations of the available finite element method (FEM) tools. The approach seeks to represent the nanowires and the BSTO substrate by an equivalent medium with effective properties inclusive of the average saturation magnetization, dynamic demagnetizing fields, and permittivity. The effective medium approach was validated in comparison with the FEM models. Using the proposed approach, a self-biased junction circulator consisting of YIG nanowires embedded in a BSTO substrate was designed and simulated in which the center frequency insertion loss was calculated to be as low as 0.16 dB with isolation of −42.3 dB at 1 GHz. The 20 dB bandwidth was calculated to be 50 MHz. These results suggest that practical self-biased circulators at the UHF band are feasible.
