太赫兹GaAs肖特基混频二极管高频特性分析

在太赫兹波段,存在几种新的高频效应会限制混频二极管的高频特性.应用热电子发射理论和隧道理论,研究了外延层肖特基二极管的高频特性,并以截止频率为品质因数对二极管进行优化设计.研究表明,当二极管工作频率大于等离子频率时,二极管相当于一个电容,失去了混频性能;提高基底掺杂浓度可以减小基底等离子共振效应;外延层等离子频率非常重要并且在研究外延层等离子共振效应时必须考虑传输时间效应;减小阳极直径、减小外延层厚度、提高外延层掺杂浓度可以提高二极管的工作频率.这对太赫兹波段室温混频器件的研制具有重要的参考价值.     

Propagation of local excitations through strongly correlated quantum chains

The propagation of an external transverse magnetic signal acting locally on a 1d chain of spins generates a disturbance which runs through the system. This quantum effect can be interpreted as a classical travelling wave which contains a superposition of a large set of frequencies depending on the size of the chain. Its local amplitude fixes the size of the z-component of the spins at any location in the chain. The average and maximum value of the group velocity are determined and compared with the transmission velocity fixed by the Lieb-Robinson upper bound inequality.

Inhibition of premixed and nonpremixed flames with phosphorus-containing compounds

The inhibition/extinction of various flames—premixed stoichiometric C₃H₈/air, nonpremixed counterflow CH₄/O₂/N₂, and nonpremixed coflow n-heptane/air cup-burner flames doped with a number of phosphorus-containing compounds (PCCs)—has been investigated experimentally. More than 20 PCCs (organic phosphates, phosphonates, phosphates) and their fluorinated derivatives were studied. All PCCs exhibited similar dependencies in burning velocities, extinction strain rates, and extinction volume fractions of CO₂ upon PCC loading in the range of mole fractions of 0–7000 ppm within an experimental deviation of ± 5%. This confirms that the inhibition effectiveness of the PCCs is influenced by the phosphorus content in the PCC molecule rather than by the structure of the molecule. The burning velocity of a stoichiometric C₃H₈/air mixture and the extinction strain rate of a nonpremixed counterflow CH₄/O₂/N₂ flame doped with trimethylphosphate were calculated. Satisfactory agreement between experimental and modeling results confirms the conclusion that the reactions of phosphorus oxyacids with radicals are responsible for flame inhibition.     

Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy of a β‐sheet peptide: a model for membrane protein folding

The partitioning of a hydrophobic hexapeptide, N‐acetyl‐tryptophan‐pentaleucine (AcWL5), into self‐associated β‐sheets within a vesicle membrane was studied as a model for integral membrane protein folding and insertion via vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy allows selective examination of the structures of amino acid side chains and the peptide backbone and provides information about local environment and molecular conformation. The secondary structure of AcWL5 within a vesicle membrane was investigated using 207.5‐nm excitation and found to consist of β‐sheets, in agreement with previous studies. The β‐sheet peptide shows enhanced Raman scattering cross‐sections for all amide modes as well as extensive hydrogen‐bonding networks. Tryptophan vibrational structure was probed using 230‐nm excitation. Increases in Raman cross‐sections of tryptophan modes W1, W3, W7, W10, W16, W17, and W18 of membrane‐incorporated AcWL5 are primarily attributed to greater resonance enhancement with the B_b electronic transition. The W17 mode, however, undergoes a much greater enhancement than is expected for a simple resonance effect, and this observation is discussed in terms of hydrogen bonding of the indole ring in a hydrophobic environment. The observed tryptophan mode frequencies and intensities overall support a hydrophobic environment for the indole ring within a vesicle, and these results have implications for the location of tryptophan in membrane protein systems.

Might Dark Matter and Energy be Intrinsic Properties of?Space?

It is shown that if a volume element V, of space is assumed to have intrinsic energy E, then basic principles of mechanics, thermodynamics and special relativity lead to the equation of state: E=pV, where p is the pressure. When this equation of state is incorporated in the Einstein equations it leads to the prediction that the orbital speed of matter circling a visible galaxy embedded in a spherical galactic halo should be relativistic, in disagreement with observations. However, it also leads directly to the interesting notion that the inertial mass of such a medium can be understood as a resistance to being compressed via Lorentz contraction. It is then shown that the mathematical structure of thermodynamics suggests another plausible definition of pressure if we allow for the possibility that the intrinsic energy of spacetime may not be described by the same work-energy relationship as ordinary matter. This additional possibility leads to the equation of state: E=−pV. While both of these equations of state describe forms of energy that are quite unlike ordinary energy, neither alone is able to account for observed rotational velocity curves of matter orbiting visible galaxies. Therefore, the possibility that space has two distinct components of energy is investigated. This results in a plausible, two-component equation of state in which the former equation of state is tentatively identified as the “dark matter” (DM) component, the latter as the “dark energy” (DE) component. The effective equation of state of space, accounting for the presence of both components, may then be written in the form: p=w ε, where ε is the total energy density, p the total pressure, and w represents the fractional excess of DM over DE (and therefore satisfies: −1≤w≤+1). Given the wide range of possible spacetime properties implied by this equation it appears to be a viable candidate for explaining observations presently attributed to the presence of both DM and DE. Specifically, the static, spherically symmetric solution of Einstein’s field equations, neglecting effects of ordinary matter, predicts the inverse r ² distribution of intrinsic space energy required to explain observed constant rotational velocity curves for matter in circular orbits around visible galaxies embedded within spherically symmetric galactic halos. The proposed equation of state is also capable of describing regions of space undergoing accelerated expansion as regions where DE is dominant (i.e., w<−1/3).     

Stochastic resonance induced by a multiplicative periodic signal in a logistic growth model with correlated noises

The stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon induced by a multiplicative periodic signal in a logistic growth model with correlated noises is studied by using the theory of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the adiabatic limit. The expressions of the SNR are obtained. The effects of multiplicative noise intensity α and additive noise intensity D, and correlated intensity λ on the SNR are discussed respectively. It is found that the existence of a maximum in the SNR is the identifying characteristic of the SR phenomena. In comparison with the SR induced by additive periodic signal, some new features are found: (1) When SNR as a function of λ for fixed ratio of α and D, the varying of α can induce a stochastic multi-resonance, and can induce a re-entrant transition of the peaks in SNR vs λ; (2) There exhibits a doubly critical phenomenon for SNR vs D and λ, i.e., the increasing of D (or λ) can induce the critical phenomenon for SNR with respect to λ (or D); (3) The doubly stochastic resonance effect appears when α and D are simultaneously varying in SNR, i.e., the increment of one noise intensity can help the SR on another noise intensity come forth.
