Effects of dipole-dipole interaction on entanglement transfer

A system consisting of two different atoms interacting with a two-mode vacuum, where each atom is resonant only with one cavity mode, is considered. The effects of dipole-dipole （dd） interaction between two atoms on the atom-atom entanglement and mode--mode entanglement are investigated. For a weak dd interaction, when the atoms are initially separable, the entanglement between them can be induced by the dd interaction, and the entanglement transfer between the atoms and the modes occurs efficiently; when the atoms are initially entangled, the entanglement transfer is almost not influenced by the dd interaction. However, for a strong dd interaction, it is difficult to transfer the entanglement from the atoms to the modes, but the atom-atom entanglement can be maintained when the atoms are initially entangled.     

Effect of thermal-annealing on the magnetoresistance of manganite-based junctions

Thermal-annealing has been widely used in modulating the oxygen content of manganites. In this work, we have studied the effect of annealing on the transport properties and magnetoresistance of junctions composed of a La0.9Ca0.1MnO3＋6 film and a Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate. We have demonstrated that the magnetoresistance of junctions is strongly dependent on the annealing conditions： Prom the junction annealed-in-air to the junction annealedin-vacuum, the magnetoresistance near 0-V bias can vary from ～-60% to N～0. A possible mechanism accounting for this phenomenon is discussed.     

The relativistic bound states for a new ring-shaped harmonic oscillator

In this paper a new ring-shaped harmonic oscillator for spin 1/2 particles is studied, and the corresponding eigenfunctions and eigenenergies are obtained by solving the Dirac equation with equal mixture of vector and scalar potentials. Several particular cases such as the ring-shaped non-spherical harmonic oscillator, the ring-shaped harmonic oscillator, non-spherical harmonic oscillator, and spherical harmonic oscillator are also discussed.     

Kac-Moody-Virasoro symmetry algebra of a （2＋1）-dimensional bilinear system

Based on some known facts of integrable models, this paper proposes a new （2＋1）-dimensional bilinear model equation. By virtue of the formal series symmetry approach, the new model is proved to be integrable because of the existence of the higher order symmetries. The Lie point symmetries of the model constitute an infinite dimensional Kac- Moody Virasoro symmetry algebra. Making use of the infinite Lie point symmetries, the possible symmetry reductions of the model are also studied     

Modelling of spreading process: effect from hydrogen bonds

Lubricant spreading on solid substrates has drawn considerable attention not only for the microscopic wetting theory but also for the dramatic application in head-disk interface of magnetic storage drive systems. Molecular dynamic simulation based on a coarse-grained bead-spring model has been used to study such a spreading process. The spreading profiles indicate that the hydrogen bonds among lubricant molecules and the hydrogen bonds between lubricant molecules and polar atoms of solid substrates will complicate the spreading process in a tremendous degree. The hydrogen bonds among lubricant molecules will strengthen the lubricant combination intensity, which may hinder most molecules from flowing down to the substrates and diffusing along the substrates. And the hydrogen bonds between lubricant molecules and polar atoms of solid substrates will confine the lubricant molecules around polar atoms, which may hinder the molecules from diffusing along the substrates and cause precursor film to vanish.     

Dynamical study on charge injection and transport in a metal/polythiophene/metal structure

The dynamical process of charge injection from metal electrode to a nondegenerate polymer in a metal/polythiophene （PT）/metal structure has been investigated by using a nonadiabatic dynamic approach. It is found that the injected charges form wave packets due to the strong electron-lattice interaction in PT. We demonstrate that the dynamical formation of the wave packet sensitively depends on the strength of applied voltage, the electric field, and the contact between PT and electrode. At a strength of the electric field more than 3.0 × 10^4 V/cm, the carriers can be ejected from the PT into the right electrode. At an electric field more than 3.0 × 10^5 V/cm, the wave packet cannot form while it moves rapidly to the right PT/metal interface. It is shown that the ejected quantity of charge is noninteger.     

Bound entangled states invariant under Ux

This paper obtains an entangled condition for isotropic-like states by using an atomic map. It constructs a class of bound entangled states from the entangled condition and shows that the partial transposition of the state from the constructed bound entangled class is an edge bound entangled state by using range criterion.     

用作VISAR窗口的LiF晶体折射率变化修正因子

近几年，因为样品／窗口界面处理工艺的完善和窗体寄生干涉问题的解决，加窗VISAR测试技术在冲击波物理研究中得到了愈来愈广泛的应用。但窗口材料在冲击作用（如压缩、拉伸、加热等）下，由于折射率变化将引入附加多普勒频移，从而对最终的测速结果引入修正项。此修正项与窗口材料的折射率变化特性直接相关，而且对某些窗口材料，此修正项值还比较大。因此，为获取加窗测试中正确的速度剖面测量数据，必须确定窗口材料在冲击作用下的折射率变化修正因子。在目前所用VISAR窗口中，LiF晶体因为具有中等阻抗，
