Parallelizing simulated annealing algorithms based on high-performance computer

We implemented five conversions of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm from sequential-to-parallel forms on high-performance computers and applied them to a set of standard function optimization problems in order to test their performances. According to the experimental results, we eventually found that the traditional approach to parallelizing simulated annealing, namely, parallelizing moves in sequential SA, difficultly handled very difficult problem instances. Divide-and-conquer decomposition strategy used in a search space sometimes might find the global optimum function value, but it frequently resulted in great time cost if the random search space was considerably expanded. The most effective way we found in identifying the global optimum solution is to introduce genetic algorithm (GA) and build a highly hybrid GA+SA algorithm. In this approach, GA has been applied to each cooling temperature stage. Additionally, the performance analyses of the best algorithm among the five implemented algorithms have been done on the IBM Beowulf PCs Cluster and some comparisons have been made with some recent global optimization algorithms in terms of the number of functional evaluations needed to obtain a global minimum, success rate and solution quality.     

(NaPO3)6对AZ91D镁合金微弧氧化陶瓷层电化学腐蚀特性的影响

在Na2SiO3-KOH电解液体系中添加一定量的(NaPO3)6, 利用微弧氧化(MAO)技术在AZ91D 镁合金表面制备了原位生长的陶瓷层. 采用动电位极化和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)技术研究了添加(NaPO3)6前后, 制备的陶瓷层在3.5%(w) NaCl溶液中的室温电化学行为. 结果表明, 添加(NaPO3)6后, 陶瓷层的自腐蚀电位显著上升, 自腐蚀电流密度明显减小. 这主要是由于(NaPO3)6增加了反应过程中基体镁合金表面的“氧空位”和溶液中PO3-4的含量, 促使元素Mg在金属/膜层(M/F)界面上快速形成相应氧化物, 从而增加了陶瓷层的厚度和致密性. 根据电化学反应体系和陶瓷层的特殊结构, 建立了合理的等效电路, 并结合EIS 数据, 分析了添加(NaPO3)6提高陶瓷层耐电化学腐蚀性能的机理.     

发光层厚度对联苯乙烯衍生物蓝色有机发光器件性能的影响

本文制备了联苯乙烯衍生物(4, 4'-bis(2, 2'-diphenylvinyl)-1, 1'-biphenyl, DPVBi) 为发光层的蓝色有机电致发光器件. 器件性能随发光层厚度变化而变. 在DPVBi厚度为10---50 nm范围内, 同样电流密度下器件亮度及效率随DPVBi厚度增加先增后减, 40 nm时最佳, 最高亮度达到15840 cd/m², 最高外量子效率达到3.2%, 器件色坐标(Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) co-ordinates) 为(0.15, 0.15). DPVBi厚度超过40 nm时器件发光光谱出现红移而致色度变差, 其原因可归于微腔效应所致. 同时, 通过实验结果分析表明DPVBi中激子扩散长度位于20---30 nm范围.

Multiterawatt laser system based on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification

A compact multiterawatt laser system based on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification is demonstrated. Chirped pulses are amplified from 20 pJ to 900 mJ by two lithium triborate optical parametric preamplifiers and a final KDP optical parametric power amplifier with a pump energy of 5 J at 532 nm from Nd:YAG-Nd:glass hybrid amplifiers. After compression, we obtained a final output of 570-mJ-155-fs pulses with a peak power of 3.67 TW, which is the highest output power from an optical parametric chirped pulse amplification laser, to the best of our knowledge.
