数字化光学元件中黑栅效应的研究

计算机光学元件是纯相位元件,能够产生任意形状的波面分布,但存在着加工工艺过于复杂的缺点。目前出现了用数字化元件实现计算机光学元件的方法,在这些方法中经常要面临黑栅效应的干扰。利用傅里叶光学理论研究了黑栅效应对具体元件的影响程度,找出了影响黑栅效应强弱的因素,并用MATLAB软件进行了模拟。模拟结果表明:减小黑栅的宽度可使光能量向接收屏中央集中,有效降低黑栅效应的干扰。     

Coupling coefficients evaluation of a directional coupler using gain guided and index antiguided fibers

In this paper, we have investigated the mutual and self coupling characteristics of directional couplers using two individual gain guided and index antiguided fibers, which can deliver robust single mode operation with large mode area, respectively owing to the combined adequately large gain coefficients in the core; Some interesting and distinguishing properties from conventional index guided fiber couplers are obtained that: The variations of coupling coefficients are complex-valued and spatially damping oscillated, but not exponential-like decreasing as conventional index guided couplers.     

The use of contact angle measurements to estimate the adhesion propensity of calcium carbonate to solid substrates in water

We have studied a series of solids using contact angle measurements; stainless steel, gold, aluminium, titanium nitride and PTFE that are frequently used in domestic water environments. It was found the influence of electron-donor (γ⁻) and electron-acceptor (γ⁺) free energies on material scaling rate was dominated by water wetting angles, providing materials exhibit an average roughness below 100 nm. The γ⁻ component had the greatest influence on theoretical adhesion, while γ^LW, (Lifshitz-van der Waals) γ⁺ and γ^AB (acid-base) had little effect. From the materials analysed, amorphous carbon coatings were least adhesive, while ‘kettle coating’ and highly roughened steel the most adhesive. The size and distribution of asperities also influenced the polar free energies and subsequent adhesion due to fluctuations in the wetting angle. The results obtained indicate works of adhesion can be used as a complementary technique with Lewis acid-base theory to deliver useful information about the propensity of scale to deposit on solids.     

Chaos synchronization of unified chaotic systems via LMI

This Letter focuses on the master-slave synchronization problem of the unified chaotic systems. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation, a simple linear feedback control law is obtained to make the state of two identical unified chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized. Simulation results have illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization solution.     

Density functional theory study of surface catalysis and adsorption on several elements in Group I-B and VIII

This review deals with the high-throughput field in surface catalysis and adsorption. Special focus is placed on advanced methods for knowledge discovery such as density functional theory (DFT) simulations. An inventory of successful cases on several elements in Group I-B and VIII is reported, including the relevant data and knowledge management, which are very important in chemical industry, fuel cell, and environment protection, for both scientific and economical reasons.      

The correspondence between Casimir pressure and energy in one-dimensional field models

We propose a method of calculation of Casimir pressure using the Green function for one-dimensional case. This method yields the renormalized pressure if an external field is absent, otherwise it permits us to calculate the dependence of pressure at one boundary on the other boundary’s coordinate. The calculated pressure permits one to obtain the Casimir energy for the systems under consideration.     

Extreme compression behaviour of equations of state

The extreme compression (P→∞) behaviour of various equations of state with K′_∞>0 yields (P/K)_∞=1/K′_∞, an algebraic identity found by Stacey. Here P is the pressure, K the bulk modulus, K^′=dK/dP, and K′_∞, the value of K^′ at P→∞. We use this result to demonstrate further that there exists an algebraic identity also between the higher pressure derivatives of bulk modulus which is satisfied at extreme compression by different types of equations of state such as the Birch–Murnaghan equation, Poirier–Tarantola logarithmic equation, generalized Rydberg equation, Keane's equation and the Stacey reciprocal K-primed equation. The identity has been used to find a relationship between λ_∞, the third-order Grüneisen parameter at P→∞, and pressure derivatives of bulk modulus with the help of the free-volume formulation without assuming any specific form of equation of state.     

Nucleon aPF2 Superfluid Pairing Gap in Asymmetry Nuclear Matter

The 3 P F2 superfluidity of neutron and proton is investigated in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach and the BCS theory by adopting the Argonne V14 and the Argonne V18 nucleonnucleon interactions. We find that pairing gaps in the 3PF2 channel predicted by adopting the AV14 interaction are much larger than those by the AV18 interaction. As the isospin-asymmetry increases, the neutron 3 pF2 superfluidity is found to increase rapidly, whereas the proton one turns out to decrease and may even vanish at high enough asymmetries. As a consequence, the neutron 3pF2 superfluidity is much stronger than the proton one at high asymmetries and it predominates over the proton one in dense neutron-rich matter.     

Eley–Rideal reaction dynamics between O atoms on β-cristobalite (1 0 0) surface: A new interpolated potential energy surface and classical trajectory study

We present a theoretical study of the collisions of atomic oxygen with O-precovered β-cristobalite (1 0 0) surface. We have constructed a multidimensional potential energy surface for the O₂/β-cristobalite (1 0 0) system based mainly on a dense grid of density functional theory points by using the interpolation corrugation-reducing procedure. Classical trajectories have been computed for quasithermal (100–1500 K) and state-specific (e.g., collision energies between 0.01 and 4 eV) conditions of reactants for different O incident angles (θ_v). Atomic sticking and O_2(adsorbed) formation are the main processes, although atomic reflection and Eley–Rideal (ER) reaction (i.e., O₂ gas) are also significant, depending their reaction probabilities on the O incident angle. ER reaction is enhanced by temperature increase, with an activation energy derived from the atomic recombination coefficient (γ_O(θ_v = 0°, T)) equal to 0.24 ± 0.02 eV within the 500–1500 K range, in close agreement with experimental data. Calculated γ_O(θ_v = 0°, T) values compare quite well with available experimental γ_O(T) although a more accurate calculation is proposed. Chemical energy accommodation coefficient β_O(T) is also discussed as a function of ER and other competitive contributions.
