Extension of the crosstalk cancellation method in ultrasonic transducer arrays from the harmonic regime to the transient one

This paper describes a procedure to extend the crosstalk correction method presented in a previous paper [A. Bybi, S. Grondel, J. Assaad, A.–C. Hladky-Hennion, M. Rguiti, Reducing crosstalk in array structures by controlling the excitation voltage of individual elements: a feasibility study, Ultrasonics, 53 (6) (2013) 1135–1140] from the harmonic regime to the transient one. For this purpose a part of an ultrasonic transducer array radiating in water is modeled around the frequency 0.5 MHz using the finite element method. The study is carried out at low frequency in order to respect the same operating conditions than the previous paper. This choice facilitated the fabrication of the transducer arrays and the comparison of the numerical results with the experimental ones. The modeled array is composed of seventeen elements with the central element excited, while the others are grounded. The matching layers and the backing are not taken into account which limits the crosstalk only to the piezoelectric elements and fluid. This consideration reduces the structure density mesh and results in faster computation time (about 25 min for each configuration using a computer with a processor Intel Core i5-3210M, frequency 2.5 GHz and having 4 Go memory (RAM)).     

油气爆炸过程火焰燃烧模式的实验估计

首先分析讨论了油气爆炸过程中火焰燃烧模式的估计方法，然后在激波管内进行了低、中、高3次不同初始油气浓度条件下的油气爆炸实验，通过实验数据分别计算出了低、中、高初始油气浓度条件下油气爆炸在初期、中期和后期的丹姆克尔数和湍流雷诺数，最后依靠丹姆克尔数-湍流雷诺数图对低、中、高初始油气浓度条件下油气爆炸初期、中期和后期的火焰燃烧模式进行了定量估计。结果表明:低、中、高初始油气浓度条件下激波管油气爆炸过程初期、中期和后期的火焰燃烧模式均为漩涡内小火焰模式。     

Evidence for Coulomb staircase in tunneling through an antidot island in the quantum Hall regime

We studied the – characteristics of tunneling devices, defined by two trench fingers and an antidot island patterned on Corbino rings in the quantum Hall plateau regime. Well-developed current steps were observed at filling factors near , which we interpret as a Coulomb staircase phenomenon due to charging of compressible strips around the antidot. The evolution of the current steps with filling factor is explained in the quasi-elastic inter landau level scattering model.     

Reconstruction of Wideband Reflectivity Densities by Wavelet Transforms

This paper is concerned with reconstruction problems arising in the context of radar signal analysis. The goal in radar is to obtain information about objects by emitting certain signals and analyzing the reflected echoes. In this paper, we shall focus on the general wideband model for radar echoes and on the case of continuously distributed objects D (reflectivity density). In this case, the echo is given by an inverse wavelet transform of the density D where the role of the analyzing wavelet is played by the transmitted signal. However, the null space of an inverse wavelet transform is nontrivial, it is described by the corresponding reproducing kernel. Following the approach of Naparst [14] and Rebolla-Neira et al. [16], we suggest to treat this problem by transmitting not just one signal but a family of signals. Indeed, a reconstruction formula for one- and 2-dimensional reflectivity densities can be derived, provided that the set of outgoing signals forms an orthogonal basis or – more general – a frame. We also present some rigorous error estimates for these reconstruction formulas. The theoretical results are confirmed by some numerical examples.

Universality of the local eigenvalue statistics for a class of unitary invariant random matrix ensembles

This paper is devoted to the rigorous proof of the universality conjecture of random matrix theory, according to which the limiting eigenvalue statistics ofn×n random matrices within spectral intervals ofO(n ^–1) is determined by the type of matrix (real symmetric, Hermitian, or quaternion real) and by the density of states. We prove this conjecture for a certain class of the Hermitian matrix ensembles that arise in the quantum field theory and have the unitary invariant distribution defined by a certain function (the potential in the quantum field theory) satisfying some regularity conditions.     

Bragg-regime engineering by columnar thinning of chiral sculptured thin films

Using a microscopic-to-continuum model of sculptured thin films (STFs) as two-phase composite materials, we have examined the optical consequences of post-deposition, uniform, columnar thinning of chiral STFs. Our results indicate that thinning processes such as etching and bioreduction can be useful in engineering the Bragg regimes of STFs after deposition. Uniform columnar thinning blue-shifts the Bragg regime and can improve the Bragg features of a chiral STF.     

Chemical species conversion in condensed systems or at interfaces: quantum and classical regime of anharmonic Franck-Condon transitions

Summary The relation of quantum to classical regime of Franck-Condon transitions is investigated, focussing on transitions in diabatic, anharmonic 1D potentials of a reactive subsystem which allow for chemical bond formation and partial charge transfer. A survey of numerical results is given for the range of both regimes under different system characteristics, including the diabatic barrier height of the reactive subsystem, the transfer distance (barrier breadth), and the reduced mass (1 to ) of the reactive mode. Energy distribution of transition components and of state-resolved statistical lifetimes are briefly discussed.
