Optimization and numerical simulation for the extraction system of the H- multicusp ion source

A new ion source has been designed and manufactured for the CYCLONE30 accelerator, which has a much advanced performance compared with the original. It is expected that the newly designed ion source extraction system will transport a very large percentage of the beam without deteriorating the beam optics, which is designed to deliver an H- beam at 30 keV. The accelerator assembly consists of three circular aperture electrodes made of copper. The simulation study was focused on finding parameter sets that raise the beam perveance as large as possible and which reduce the beam divergence as low as possible. Ion beams of the highest quality are extracted whenever the half-angular divergence is minimum, for which the perveance current intensity and the extraction gap have optimum values. The triode extraction system is designed and optimized by using CST software （for Particle Beam Simulations）. The physical design of the extraction system is given in this paper. From the simulation results, it is concluded that it is possible to achieve this goal by decreasing the thickness of the plasma electrode, shortening the first gap, and adjusting the acceleration electrode voltage.     

QMD模型的改进及其在低能重离子反应中的应用

丰中子核以及重核熔合机制的研究以及中能重离子碰撞中多重碎裂的研究都迫切需要一个统一的、自洽的微观动力学模型.经过对量子分子动力学模型进行根本的改进,发展了一个新的、适用于低能以及中能重离子反应的统一描述的微观动力学模型.改进的量子分子动力学(ImQMD)模型能够将整个熔合反应过程中的动力学效应、同位旋效应以及弹靶质量不对称效应等比较全面地、自洽地考虑进来,从而给熔合反应的研究提供了一个新的途径.ImQMD模型能够很好地再现一系列核的基态性质以及10多个熔合反应的激发函数(包括丰中子核熔合体系以及实验最新测量的132Sn+64Ni熔合体系).此外还运用该模型初步探索了重核熔合过程中复合体系的寿命与体系的入射能量、体系大小以及体系的中子质子比的依赖关系. We have developed a new microscopic dynamical model called improved quantum molecular dynamical model (ImQMD). This model can describe the fusion process at energies near the Coulomb barrier as well as the multifragmentation process at intermediate energies in heavy-ion collision (HIC) uniformly. By using this model, fusion cross sections (including some of neutron-rich nuclei reactions and that of newly measured~(132)Sn+~(64)Ni fusion reaction) of tens reactions can be reproduced remarkably well.

Controllable preparation of two-mode entangled coherent states in circuit QED

Although the multi-level structure of superconducting qubits may result in calculation errors, it can be rationally used to effectively improve the speed of gate operations. Utilizing a current-biased Josephson junction （A-type rf-SQUID） as a tunable coupler for superconducting transmission line resonators （TLRs）, under the large detuning condition, we demonstrate the controllable generation of entangled coherent states in circuit quantum electrodynamics （circuit QED）. The coupling between the TLRs and the qubit can be effectively regulated by an external bias current or coupling capacitor. Further investigations indicate that the maximum entangled state can be obtained through measuring the excited state of the superconducting qubits. Then, the influence of the TLR [tecay on the prepared entangled states is analyzed.

拉曼光谱的16种多环芳烃（PAHs）特征振动光谱辨识

借助密度泛函理论中B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p)方法对美国EPA优先控制污染物中的16种多环芳烃(PAHs)：萘、苊烯、苊、芴、菲、蒽、荧蒽、芘、苯并[a]蒽、稠二萘、苯并[b]荧蒽、苯并[k]荧蒽、苯并[a]芘、二苯并(a, h)蒽、二苯并[g, h, i]芘以及茚苯(1, 2, 3-cd)芘进行结构优化,并计算拉曼光谱振动频率和去偏振度,在此基础上辨识多环芳烃的拉曼特征光谱。研究显示,16种PAHs的拉曼振动主要分布在3个频区：200～1 000 cm-1（指纹区）、1 000～1 700和3 000～3 200 cm-1（基团频率区）,3个频区主要振动归属分别为环变形(ring def),碳碳伸缩(CCStr)、碳氢摇摆(CHw)及其耦合振动(CCStrCCw),碳氢伸缩(CHStr)。进一步分析显示,指纹区16种PAHs的去偏振度随苯环变形振动对称性增强而降低,在该频区去偏振度最小的频移处苯环呼吸振动的对称性最强,指纹区的峰强也在此处出现最大值。任意PAHs在指纹区的最强峰之间的波数差较大,在显微拉曼光谱的可分辨范围内,因而利用指纹区的去偏振度和最强峰可将16种PAHs逐一识别。烷烃、烯烃、炔烃、醇类和酚类、脂肪醚、芳基烷基醚、醛类、酮类、羧酸、酯类、胺类、腈类、酰胺类、酸酐、芳烃的振动频率和峰强分布不完全一致,利用PAHs与这几类物质拉曼频率和峰强分布的差异可以逐一排出干扰。     

Observability analysis of navigation system using point-based visual and inertial sensors

A matrix Kalman filter (MKF) has been implemented for a navigation system using point-based visual and inertial sensors. The observability conditions have been proved by the observability rank criterion based on Lie derivatives. The conditions are: (a) at least one degree of rotational freedom is excited and (b) at least three observed points are not collinear where any two points are linearly independent. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed algorithm obtains the same accurate as the line-based algorithm.     

Trigonometrical sums connected with the chiral Potts model,Verlinde dimension formula,two-dimensional resistor network,and number theory

We have recently developed methods for obtaining exact two-point resistance of the complete graph minus N$N$ edges. We use these methods to obtain closed formulas of certain trigonometrical sums that arise in connection with one-dimensional lattice, in proving Scott’s conjecture on permanent of Cauchy matrix, and in the perturbative chiral Potts model. The generalized trigonometrical sums of the chiral Potts model are shown to satisfy recursion formulas that are transparent and direct, and differ from those of Gervois and Mehta. By making a change of variables in these recursion formulas, the dimension of the space of conformal blocks of SU(2)$SU\left(2\right)$ and SO(3)$SO\left(3\right)$ WZW models may be computed recursively. Our methods are then extended to compute the corner-to-corner resistance, and the Kirchhoff index of the first non-trivial two-dimensional resistor network, 2×N$2\times N$. Finally, we obtain new closed formulas for variant of trigonometrical sums, some of which appear in connection with number theory.     

Structural studies of AgSbTe2 under pressure: Experimental and theoretical analyses

The crystal structure of AgSbTe₂ has been refined using first-principles calculations, from which the ordering of the cations, Ag and Sb, was confirmed. The spontaneous formation of two (D4 and L1₁) phases at ambient and elevated pressure was demonstrated theoretically. The compound was also prepared and its high-pressure structural deformation sequence, ranging from ambient to 50.9 GPa, was observed with synchrotron radiation at room temperature. The compound underwent a pressure-induced amorphization (PIA) at 24.6 GPa and then started recrystallizing at 49.2 GPa. The bulk modulus (B₀) and pressure derivative of the bulk modulus (B_p) were determined experimentally to be 56.3 ± 5.1 GPa and 4.3 ± 0.8, respectively. We suggest that large displacements of Te atoms to Ag vacancy positions are responsible for PIA and the recrystallization.     

Derivation of invariant varieties of periodic points from singularity confinement in the case of Toda map

We have shown in [1] that the invariant varieties of periodic points (IVPP) of all periods of some higher dimensional rational maps can be derived, iteratively, from the singularity confinement (SC). We generalize this algorithm, in this paper, to apply to any birational map, which has more invariants than the half of the dimension.     

Functional organic single crystals for solid‐state laser applications

Because of long‐range order and high chemical purity, organic crystals have exhibit unique properties and attracted a lot of interest for application in solid‐state lasers. As optical gain materials, they exhibit high stimulated emission cross section and broad tunable wavelength emission as similar to their amorphous counterpart; moreover, high purity and high order give them superior properties such as low scattering trap densities, high thermal stability, as well as highly polarized emission. As electronic materials, they are potentially able to support high current densities, thus making it possible to realize current driven lasers. This paper mainly describes recent research progress in organic semiconductor laser crystals. The building molecules, crystal growth methods, as well as their stimulated emission characteristics related with crystal structures are introduced; in addition, the current state‐of‐the‐art in the field of crystal laser devices is reviewed. Furthermore, recent advances of crystal lasers at the nanoscale and single crystal light‐emitting transistors (LETs) are presented. Finally, an outlook and personal view is provided on the further developments of laser crystals and their applications.
