Optimal traffic routing strategy on scale-free complex networks

Li Tao, Pei Wen-Jiang, Wang Shao-Ping — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Li Tao, Pei Wen-Jiang, Wang Shao-Ping

In this paper, we propose a new routing strategy to improve the transportation performance on scale-free networks, named optimal routing strategy. It can proportionally distribute the traffic load between central nodes and the noncentral nodes. Analytical results indicate that by using the optimal routing strategy, the network capability in processing traffic is proportional to the square of the network size and is independent of each node degree. Simulations show that compared with the classic shortest path routing strategy, the new strategy can enhance the network capability several times with the small-world character and its performance is gradually improved with the increasing of the average degree. Moreover, the comparison with the efficient routing strategy also reveals the prominent performance of the new strategy.

Research of malware propagation in complex networks based on 1-D cellular automata

Song Yu-Rong, Jiang Guo-Ping — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Song Yu-Rong, Jiang Guo-Ping

In this paper, based on 1-D cellular automata, the probabilistic behaviors of malware propagation in complex networks are investigated. Neighborhood and state transition functions with integrated expression are established and two models of malware propagation are proposed to evaluate the probabilistic behavior of malware propagation in various networks. We run the proposed models on nearest-neighbor coupled network （NC） and Erdos-Renyi （ER） random graph network and Watts-Strogatz（WS） small world network and Barabasi-Albert （BA） power law network respectively. Analysis and simulations show that, the proposed models describe perfectly the dynamic behaviors of propagation in the above networks. Furthermore, the proposed models describe not only the average tendency of malware propagation but also the rare events such as saturation and extinction of malware, and overcome the limitation occurring in a deterministic model based on mean-field method that describes only the average tendency of malware propagation and neglects the probabilistic event. Meanwhile, the result of simulations shows that the heterogeneity of degree distribution and local spatial interaction are key factors affecting the malware propagation and immunization.

Effects of subharmonic motion on size segregation in vertically vibrated granular materials

Jiang Ze-Hui, Jing Ya-Fang, Zhao Hai-Fa, Zheng Rui-Hua — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Jiang Ze-Hui, Jing Ya-Fang, Zhao Hai-Fa, Zheng Rui-Hua

Experiments have been performed to investigate the effect of subharmonic motion on size segregation in vertically vibrated granular beds. In our experimental systems, symmetric normal convection of granular particles is induced when vibration acceleration is sufficiently large, and subharmonic motion of the particles appears when vibration acceleration is above another larger critical value. Observations reveal that particle convection is the main mechanism leading to the segregation of larger intruder particles imbedded in smaller ones, the convection flux dominates the rising time of the intruder, and a distinct retardation of the segregation time is induced when the bed’s bulk motion undergoes period-doubling and period-quadrupling bifurcations. An analysis of the convection due to the effects of air is given. Then the mechanism leading to such retardation is discussed and simple expression for the segregation time is formulated. The obtained results agree well with experimental values.

Tian Wen-Chao, Jia Jian-Yuan — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Tian Wen-Chao, Jia Jian-Yuan

There is a continuum contradiction between the Wigner-Seitz model and the volume infinitesimal. By analyzing the attractive force and the repulsive force of the bcc and fcc double Wigner-Seitz model with the classical Lennard-Jones potential, the conclusion that the relative error satisfies the engineering analysis is established even if double Wigner-Seitz models superpose. By comparing the single atom Al sphere-surface force of the Wigner-Seitz model with the discrete simulation, a satisfactory result is obtained. Based on the Wigner-Seitz model, the dynamic equation of the digital micro-mirror device （DMD）, including the sticking effect, is found. The DMD simulation result is compared with the measurement result. The conclusion that the Wigner-Seitz model satisfies the micro-continuum requirement of the micro- and nano-engineering is arrivedat.

Qualitive analysis of supercoiling configuration of a thin elastic rod under tension and twist

Liu Yan-Zhu, Xue Yun — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Liu Yan-Zhu, Xue Yun

The supercoiling configuration of a thin elastic rod is discussed on the basis of Kirchhoff’s model. The equivalent twisting stiffness and bending stiffness of a thin helical rod are derived. The stability and bifurcation of a thin elastic rod under tension and twist are analyzed, and the results can be applied to determine the stability of a thin helical rod by use of the equivalent stiffness. In the case when the rod is under constant twist and increasing tension force the straight equilibrium can be unstable and transfers to helical equilibrium. When the tension force increases further the straight thin helical rod can be unstable and twins to a supercoiling state. Therefore the forming process of supercoiling configuration of a rod under tension and twist observed in Thompson/Champney experiment can be explained qualitatively.

Analytical model for probe impedance using reflection and transmission theory in eddy current testing

Fan Meng-Bao, Huang Ping-Jie, Ye Bo, Hou Di-Bo, Zhang Guang-Xin, Zhou Ze-Kui — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Fan Meng-Bao, Huang Ping-Jie, Ye Bo, Hou Di-Bo, Zhang Guang-Xin, Zhou Ze-Kui

The analytical model of probe impedance due to multilayered conductive structures is established using the reflection and transmission theory of electromagnetic waves in eddy current testing. The electromagnetic field in the region under considecation consists of the excitation field of the coil and the eddy current field. The eddy current field is regarded as the combination of the reflection and transmission of the excitation field. Therefore, the probe impedance is analytically modeled by applying the series-form representation of the excitation field and the reflection and transmission theory of electromagnetic waves, thus resulting in a series-form expression. Finally, the calculated results from the typical integral-form and developed series-form expressions were compared, and experiments were carried out. The good agreement between the calculated and experimental results justifies the presented analytical model. In comparison with the infinite integral of probe impedance, the series-form expansion has advantages of not needing the determination of the integral upper limit, saving time and easy control of the error.

Diffractive effect of quantum spectra in the annular billiard

Author(s): Zhang Ji-Quan, Zhang Yan-Hui, Zhou Hui, Jia Zheng-Mao, Lin Sheng-Lu

We analyze the quantum spectra of the two-dimensional annular billiard system based on the open-orbit quantum spectrum function, and respectively calculate the Fourier-transformed quantum spectra for various values of a parameter （in the case f=Rin/Rout）. The results show that the peak positions of quantum spectrum match with the lengths of classical orbits of particle motion very well ，and the semiclassical closed-orbit theory affords a good explanation. While the inner circle radius becomes comparaber with the de Brogile wavelength of the particle, the character of quantum spectrum changes essentially, turning out to be similar with the pattern of optical diffraction, which is a purely wavelike phenomenon and accords with Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theorem. Our treatment provides a basis theory for researching the property of billiard system and microjunction transport, and opens a new way to investigate the diffraction of crystal and spectral analysis.

We present a scheme for establishing a multi-user quantum channel of multi-atom entangled W states and GHZ states based on cavity QED. Each user has shared EPR pairs with quantum switch during the leisure time of quantum network. An entangled W state is prepared base on two EPR pairs in cavity field by quantum switch at first，and entanglement swapping and direct measurement is operated on the other EPR pairs to establish a quantum channel of W states between three users. In the same way, we can establish a quantum channel of four atoms entangled W state. Three atoms of quantum switch simultaneously interact with cavity field to establish a quantum channel of entangled GHZ states between three users after direct measurement, and we also establish an N users’ quantum channel of entangled GHZ states.

We calculate the orbital effect of photon in the axisymmetric field created by the spinning mass with electric charge and a large number of magnetic monopoles. By analyzing the result we found that the deflection effect caused by the electric charge and magnetic charge decreases the deflection effect caused by the mass of the field source, but the deflection effect caused by the spinning of the field source depends on the angle between the spinning direction of the field source mass and the direction of photon motion. We obtained interesting results in discussing the parameters of the celestial body.

We extended the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method, which was proposed by Grassberger for simulating a single self-avoiding walk （called GR method for the sake of convenience）, to simulate multi-avoiding walks. For simplicity this method is called extended GR （E-GR） method and used to investigate the screening behavior of linear polymer solutions. The simulations show that the screening is a cooperative behavior of monomers on other chains, i.e. it is not only dependent on the concentration of solutions but also on the length of other chains. The simulated screening behavior agrees with the experiments and the prediction of the self-consistent field theory. These results also show the validity and potential applications of E-GR to study other physical properties of linear polymer solutions.

Local higher-order Volterra filter multi-step prediction model of chaotic time series

Author(s): Du Jie, Cao Yi-Jia, Liu Zhi-Jian, Xu Li-Zhong, Jiang Quan-Yuan, Guo Chuang-Xin, Lu Jin-Gui

In general, the prediction modeling of chaotic time series is conducted by Volterra filters through constructing nonlinear fitting functions according to the methodology of pattern training. Since the proposed approach is consistent with the nonlinear characteristics of chaotic systems, the corresponding model turns to be more effective than conventional models. However, something abnormal is likely to occur, such as inadequate trainingor, over training, and the training data set size is not easy to choose, because the existing Volterra filters are trained point by point along the chaotic orbit. Based on the similarity of the evolving tendency of neighbor orbits in phase space, the chaotic time series multi-step-prediction model （MSP-HONFIR） employing the adaptive higher-order nonlinear Volterra filter （HONFIR） is constructed in this paper. A new method of choosing neighbor orbits in phase space is presented by considering the Euclidean distance and the evolving tendency. In addition, the criterion for the choice of the training data set size is discussed. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the performances of multi-step-prediction are improved compared to the original HONFIR method.

The generalized projective synchronization of improved invariable-Lyapunov-exponent-spectrum chaotic system is studied. The appropriate nonlinear feedback controllers are designed by an active control method for synchronization of two chaotic systems with the same or different structures. The effectiveness of scaling factor and global linear amplitude adjuster in the generalized projective synchronization system is analyzed. The driving, control and response subsystems of the synchronization system are analyzed in detail and constructed based on modularization and reusing. Numerical simulation and circuit experiment simulation all show that any scale signal of driving system state variable can be obtained by adjusting the scaling factor. When the global linear amplitude adjuster is changed, the state variables of driving system and response system are modulated synchronously in linearity while the generalized projective synchronization between the two systems is not influenced.

Hence, it is significant to study the method of controlling or suppressing chaos in PMSM. Based on LaSalle invariant theory, an adaptive law of controlling chaos was presented in this paper, which enablcs avoiding the influence of undeterministic equilibrium of the system. Simulation results show that the designed control method is effective and its control property is better than that of others. Our research results may help to maintain the system’s secure operation.

The efficient functioning of complex networks rely on their traffic capacity, so it is significant to improve their throughput. We propose a new efficient routing strategy called weighted routing strategy to enhance the traffic capacity. Each edge is assigned a value that is related with its end degree. Then packets are transported across the shortest paths of the weighted network. This kind of paths can more evenly go through the vertices and utilize their transport ability. They avoid collectively passing certain vertices which makes them congested, thus the throughput of the network is improved. It is demonstrated by simulations that our strategy is more powerful than the traditional shortest-path strategy, and improves tens of times the throughput for many structures of networks.

By assuming the ion sphere model, the self-consistent field method for the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and the Dirac equation is used to calculate the energy levels of He-like titanium immersed in hot and dense plasmas. Consequently, the spectral shifts of the intercombination line and the resonance line and the shifts of the exchange energy of He-like titanium in hot and dense plasmas are studied. The results show that the two electronic dipole transitions red shift nearly linearly with the increase of plasma electron density. The formula of the linear relationship is found.

The large differences of the spectra are observed in the frequency range 0.3 THz—2.5 THz, which indicates that THz-TDS is an effective tool to distinguish between enantiomers （D-, L-ornidazole） and its racemic compound （DL-ornidazole）. A number of absorption peaks which could not be observed at room temperature are well resolved in the low temperature range. This provides more experimental details for mode assignment. The evolution of these absorption features between 6 K and 298 K was continuously mapped. The absorption frequencies shift to lower values as temperature increases. The measured temperature dependence can be well fitted if we consider the phonon modes follow a Bose-Einstein distribution. Finally, the quantum chemical calculations were carried out to simulate the experimental THz spectra of the three samples in the range of 0.2—2.5 THz. Compared with the calculated results, the observed characteristic absorptions are explained at molecular level.

The influence of phonon distribution on the frequency upconverted fluorescence emission is studied with laser spectroscopy in different matrices and at different ambient temperatures. The spectrum of phonon energy can be adjusted by varying the content of SiO2 in the oxyfluoride glass and glass ceramics, which affects the upconverted fluorescence emission of doped ions. Since the phonon energy depends on the sample temperature, the variation of the temperature can also influence the population rate of 3H4 level in Tm3+ doped low-phonon-energy LaF3 crystal, resulting in a change of the fluorescence upconversion.

Detection of the self-assembly of poly-（N-isopropylacrylamide） on gold based on microcantilever sensor

Huang Yuan, Liu Hong, Zhang Qing-Chuan — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Huang Yuan, Liu Hong, Zhang Qing-Chuan

A microcantilever sensor platform is used for detecting the self-assembly of poly-（N-isopropylacrylamide）（HS-PNIPAM） on gold surface. The change of the interaction between molecules caused by conformation transition will change the surface stress of the microcantilever which causes its bending. The kinetic curves of self-assembly can be obtained by real-time monitoring the deflection of the microcantilever using the optical lever read-out technique. HS-PNIPAMs of different molecular weight were used to study the self-assembly process, and the results showed that the kinetic curves can be divided into three stages corresponding to different conformations, respectively. The first stage cor responds to physical adsorption of HS-PNIPAM on gold-coated side. The second and third stages correspond to chemical adsorption on gold-coated side with conformation transition. The kinetic curves fit Langmuir adsorption isotherm well. The results also show that the reaction rate κ of HS-PNIPAM is far less than that of small molecules and decreases exponentially with the molecular weight; while the time of HS-PNIPAM’s self-assembly is far greater than that of small molecules and proportional to the molecular weight. The change of the surface stress is linear to the molecular weight of HS-PNIPAM.

Author(s): Ge Gui-Xian, Yang Zeng-Qiang, Cao Hai-Bin

The adsorption of CO on the Nin cluster surfaces has been systematically investigated by density functional theory. The result indicates that the lowest energy structures of NinCO are generated with CO being adsorbed on Nin clusters, and the lowest energy structures of Nin clusters are not changed by adsorbing CO molecule， The chemisorption of CO on Nin cluster surfaces belongs to non-dissociative adsorption. The increased theoretical CO bond length of 0.1180-0.1214?nm （compared with 0.1138?nm） demonstrates the activation of the CO bond. Natural bond orbital analysis shows that the interaction between Ni atoms and CO molecule is primarily contributed by the hybridized molecular orbital within CO and 3d, 4s, 4p orbital of Ni atoms.

The geometric structures, relative stability, electronic structure and their size dependence of scandium monoxide（ScnO, n=1—9） clusters are investigated by using density functional theory （DFT） at the BP86/CEP-121G level （the O atom treated with 6-311G** basis sets）. With the cluster size increasing, the geometries of the lowest energy clusters show that the oxygen atom situated on the surface turn to be embed in the interior. The doped O atom enhances the stability, increases the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and changes the trends of stability and electronic properties with the cluster size increasing. Results on even-odd oscillation in cluster stability and electronic properties predicted that the oxide clusters with even number of Sc atoms are more stable than the neighboring clusters with odd number of Sc atoms. The calculated vertical ionization energy values agreed especially well with the experimental values. The trend of electron affinities shows an obvious oscillatorg increasing behavior as the cluster size increasing. The stability and electronic structure of ScnO clusters are also characterized by the maximum hardness principle of chemical reactivity.

The main factor which affects the RF phase jitter is deduced and verified in the PIC simulation. The RF phase jitter is significantly affected by the fluctuation of the beam voltage at the steady state when the cavity is in resonanec. The relation is linear in a certain range.

Author(s): Wu Zhen-Jun, Wang Li-Fang, Liao Cheng-Lin

A novel finite difference time domain （FDTD） method has been introduced to analyze multi-conductor transmission lines terminated with frequency-dependent loads. The admittance of frequency-dependent loads can be modeled by rational functions by using vector-fitting, then converting these functions into time-domain by inverse Fourier transform （IFT）. Based on the piecewise linear recursive convolution （PLRC） method, the relation between voltage and current of admittance parameters are deduced. Incorporating the formula into multiconductor transmission lines （MTL） FDTD equations, we get the general formula of MTL FDTD dealing with frequency-dependent loads. In simulating a typical circuit, the results agreed well with the results obtained by using the state-variable transmission model. It shows the method is valid in dealing with frequency-dependent loads.

The analytical propagation formula of a Lorentz beam through a unapertured misaligned paraxial optical system is treated as the special case of the general formula. As a numerical example, the propagation properties of a Lorentz beam through an apertured misaligned thin lens are investigated numerically. The results show that diffraction of different intensity, in other words, the radius of the circular aperture apparently influences on the distribution of the normalized light intensity of the diffracted beam and its propagation law.

The intensity of the resulting beam depends not only on the f-parameter, fσ-parameter, off-axis distances, beam numbers and orders of combined beams and propagation distance, but also on the addition scheme. The meaning of the terminology of coherent and incoherent addition of partially coherent beams is interpreted physically and the validity is confirmed by numerical examples.

Influences of misaligned optical beam carrying orbital angular momentum on the information transfer

Author(s): Li Fang, Jiang Yue-Song, Tang Hua, Wang Hai-Yang

An analysis of the orbital angular momentum of an optical beam misaligned with respect to a receiver during propagation in the information transfer is investigated. The analytical expressions of Laguerre-Gaussian beams laterally displaced， angularly deflected and simultaneously misaligned in both ways are derived, and the features of the spiral spectrum in these cases are studied. It is shown that both parallel displacement and angular tilt will lead to the spread of the spiral spectrum, which is independent of the misalign direction. The larger the misalign, the more serious the spectrum spread. However, with the increasing of the propagation distance, the degree of the spread for the laterally displacement is decreasing gradually, while that for the angular tilt is increasing. In the angular tilt case, the spread of the spiral spectrum always keeps symmetric during propagation, while in the case of lateral displacement, the spiral spectrum is asymmetric, and goes to a stable state. The spiral spectrum is also investigated for the case with simulataneous lateral misalignment and angular tilt, and we conclude that the effects of both misaligns on the spectrum are related with one another.

The model of laser spectrum used in the method of smoothing by spectral dispersion （SSD） affecting the beam smoothing was theoretically discussed based on the analysis of spatial frequency spectrum, and the response function to the spatial frequency modulation was put forward to describe the effects. With theoretical derivation and numerical simulation, it is concluded that the spatial frequency response function by SSD has periodical property and is determined by dispersion angle and spectrum shape. More generally, spectrum shape was related with the shape of response function, the dispersion angle affects the lowest spatial frequency, and color cycle number can modify the distribution of low and high spatial frequency to change the smoothing effect. Applied to multidimensional SSD, the response function characters can give the guiding principle for optimization.

Light scattering by a particle containing inclusions is calculated by a combination of ray-tracing and Monte Carlo techniques. The distribution of the inclusions can be sparse or dense. While the individual reflection and refraction events at the outer boundary of a sphere particle are considered by a ray-tracing program, the Monte Carlo routine simulates the internal scattering processes. A dense-medium light-scattering theory based on the introduction of the static structure factor is used to calculate the single scattering characteristics for densely packed inclusions. Numerical results of the single scattering characteristics for a spheroid containing inclusions are discussed.

The influence of geometric parameters, roughness of the surface, and attitude as well as pulse duration are analyzed numerically by applying the analytical model. Combining the theory and measurements, the analytical model can be used for parameter identification of cylinders and cones.

A novel approach to design the subwavelength metal gratings for the polarizing beam splitters is presented. The method is based on effective medium theory （EMT） and thin film optics. The polarizing diffraction performance of subwavelength grating was analyzed by the rigorous couple-wave analysis （RCWA） for the wavelength of 650nm. The numerical calculus is used to analyze the effects of the zeroth diffraction efficiency caused by the grating period, the groove depth, the incident angle and the incident wavelength. The results show that subwavelength metal grating have the characteristics of high reflectivity like metal films for TE polarization and high transmission like dielectric films for TM polarization. Both transmission waves and reflected waves have high polarization extinction ratio and low insertion loss over a wide incident angle range （-30°θλ<800nm）. The optimal design agrees excellently well with the results simulated by RCWA method.

Generally, it is more suitable for studies on Ne-like X-ray laser by using fundamental frequency laser as driving beam than by frequency doubling. However, many huge laser facilities built for ICF research are usually designed for doubling and trebling of laser frequency, and they are unfit for use as fundamental frequency laser. We simulated the Ne-like Ge X-ray laser making use of JB19 codes, respectively in the case of doubled and trebled frequency diving. The results indicated that the higher power output of Ne-like Ge X-ray laser is also obtained when driven by doubled frequency laser. However the required output of driving laser beam was 3.3 times that in the case of the fundamental. Any way it presents a direction of studying Ne-like X-ray laser with huge laser facilities in the future. A preliminary experimental study has proved this point.

In optical remote sensing, the calibration of remote sensor plays a key role in the quantificational remote sensing. A state-of-the-art highest accuracy standard transfer method is developed, which can transfer the standard cryogenic radiometer to secondary standard trap-type detector, and the absolute spectral responsivity calibration system is set up in the band between the visible to near-infrared in our laboratory. It is required that the process of standard transfer should produce little measurement uncertainty. In this paper a Ti: sapphire tunable laser, doubler and single wavelength laser in 24 interval of wavelengths respectively are used, the spectral responsivity of three silicon trap detectors are calibrated absolutely. The key techniques involved are the accurate positioning and adjustment of the infrared laser and the simulation calibration of window transmittance etc., which have bean successfully resolved. The result shows, in the visible （412nm to 800nm） reqion, the total relative standard uncertainty of the spectral responsivity at the laser lines is less than 0.05%, while in the UV （350nm） and NIR regions above 800nm, the total relative standard uncertainty is less than 0.065%. So the trap detector can be used as a transfer standard detector for calibration of space sensors in the band of 350nm to 1064nm.

Moreover, fixing up the two atom rods at optimal positions and tuning the lengths of the two cylinders, the normalized gap widths of PBGs could be enlarged with a suitable configuration. The results also show that the setting up of large PBGs depends on different degrees of symmetry of the system in the case of two atom rods in a unit cell, the larger PBGs at higher frequency require lower symmetry.

The coupled Helmhotz-type differential equations for a general cylindrical structure containing chiral material were transformed into a pair of decoupled equations, and this new set was solved to find expressions for Ez and Hz with the expansion of the complete eigen functions in elliptical chiralwaveguide. There are no pure TE （TM） or even-type （odd-type） modes existing individually in the elliptical structure if Ez and Hz are coupled with each other. The influences of eccentricity and chiral admittance on dispersion of modes are discussed in this paper.

A device structure of resonant cavity light emitting diodes （RCLED） at 650nm wavelength was proposed by using AlGaAs as the n-type bottom DBR, AlGaInP as the p-type top DBR, and GaInP/AlGaInP MQW as the active region. The device was designed according to the transfer matrix method, and both RCLED and normal LED were fabricated for comparison. Results showed that the efficiency of RCLED is 30% higher than the normal LED, and the peak wavelength of RCLED changed only 1nm when the driving current increased from 3mA to 30mA, compared with that of 7nm for the normal LED. Meanwhile, RCLED has a narrower spectrum and a smaller far field divergence angle.

Control of the fabrication parameters during the fabrication of photonic crystal fibers

Author(s): Guo Tie-Ying, Lou Shu-Qin, Li Hong-Lei, Jian Shui-Sheng

The interplay between the fabrication parameters during the fabrication of photonic crystal fibers（PCF） are numerically analyzed. Relation between these parameters and the final fiber’s geometry is identified. With the cooperative control of drawing temperature and feed speed, the final hole structure can be effectively controlled by tuning the applied pressure. A single-mode PCF with its d/Λ approaching 0.45, and a PCF with high air-filling fraction, whose d/Λ equals 0.8, are successfully fabricated. For fabrication of PCFs with uneven-sized holes, parameter control alone is sometimes inadequate in achieving the desired geometry. Taking a single-polarization single-mode（SPSM） PCF structure as example, the preform’s geometry is redesigned for optimization by inverse calculation. And the required SPSM PCF can thus be fabricated.

Author(s): Zhu Tao, Shi Cui-Hua, Rao Yun-Jiang, Chiang Kin-Seng

The mechanism of refractive index change of long period fiber gratings （LPFGs） induced by high frequency CO2 laser pulses is investigated in theory and by experiment. It is found that the release of residual stress, rapid solidification, fiber densification and fusion distortion are discovered to be the main mechanisms of formation of this kind of gratings. The above four mechanisms play different roles when different fibers, different scanning methods and the different laser power were used in the process of LPFG fabrication. The average refractive index changes of the core and cladding were measured by using M-Z interferometer formed by LPFG pair in this paper, which provides the experimental basis for fabricating all-fiber devices.

The nonlinear coupled-mode equations are rewritten by even and odd modes. We study modulation instability of photonic crystal fiber couplers when either even or odd mode is launched alone. The result shows that there are new types of modulation instability in both the normal and the anomalous-dispersion regimes. Modulation instability is related with four phase dispersion and has no relation with three phase dispersion. The gain spectra have been given as function of input power in various dispersion regimes. Quasi-cw can be changed into pulse array under certain conditions, and we can extract super-short pulses from it.

Hollow beam generation from a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber with a modified core

Author(s): Fang Xiao-Hui, Hu Ming-Lie, Liu Bo-Wen, Li Yan-Feng, Chai Lu, Wang Qing-Yue, Tong Wei-Jun, Luo Jie

The mode-controlled nonlinear process in a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber is studied experimentally. The central wavelength of frequency-upconverted dispersive wave and its transverse intensity profile are controlled through a selective coupling of the pump field to the higher order modes of the fiber and a polarization-sensitive phase matching process. However, due to their large effective index difference, the two orthogonal modes cant be excited simultaneously. The index difference is lowered by injecting wax into the air holes which effectively modifies the core structure. This modification degenerates the two orthogonal high-order modes. As a result, they are excited simultaneously and form a hollow beam output.

The cross-spectrum characteristics of sound pressure between two hydrophones deployed vertically are analyzed in low frequency acoustic field of shallow water, more attentions are paid to the cross-spectrum active component of sound pressure when only two normal modes are trapped in the waveguide. The numerical results show that （1） the sign of the sound pressure cross-spectrum active component is independent of range when receiving transducers placed in appropriate depths, so it can be used to tell whether the sound source is near the surface or underwater by selecting a pair of appropriate deploying depth of transducers; （2） acoustic velocity profiles have little effects on the application of this method, the seabed attenuation will limit the detection range, but the algorithm still has a good robustness in the valid detection range. Approximate theoretic analysis of cross-spectrum active component characteristics is proposed in the paper combined with the concept of effective depth, and the prediction formula of appropriate deploying depth of transducers is presented. The theoretic analysis indicates that the sum of the bi-hydrophone depths should be equal to the waveguide effective depth and the sign distribution of the sound pressure cross-spectrum active component is divided into three level regions in an ideal pressure-release waveguide. The theoretic analysis provides deeper understanding of the low-frequency sound field characteristics in shallow water and also guidance to the application of the algorithm.

Audible sound metamaterial

Author(s): Ding Chang-Lin, Zhao Xiao-Peng

We fabricated a kind of 1D metamaterial which consists of periodic array of Helmholtz resonators and tested its acoustic transmission at audible sound frequency in air. The experimental results show that a transmission dip appears at the frequency range of 2.1—3.5 kHz. The transmission ratio simulated by acoustic transmission line method （ATLM） is in accordance with the experimental results. From the effective impedance calculated by ATLM, the transmission dip is ascribed to the backward wave reflection of HRsresonance. Furthermore, the transmission pressure distribution measurement of the inner sample clearly demonstrates the resonance effect in the metamaterial, in which there is an out-of-phase response to the driving field. The value of effective modulus is calculated to be negative based on the resonant model mentioned before.

The band structures of shallow water surface wave propagating over a periodically perforated bottom are calculated by the plane wave expansion method，and complete band gaps appear. Through considering three drilling patterns （square holes arrayed in square lattice，circular holes arrayed in square and hexagonal lattices），we find that the number，width，frequency and location of band gaps are related to the area，shape，orientation of drilled holes and the lattice. These rules are similar to those in photonic/ phononic crystals.

The influence on the motion of single solid particles in a Newtonian fluid by melting and convection was directly simulated. The fluid motion was computed from the conservation laws. Density and viscosity change with the fluid temperature, the particles move according to the equations of motion of a rigid body under the action of gravity and hydrodynamic forces arising from the motion of the fluid. In the process of melting, a distinctive morphology develops due to the different heat flux around the particles surface, and the thermal gradient determines the melting rate. The phases were coupled by the fluid-particle mutual force, force moment and the boundary conditions. In our study four different situations were considered, namely the sedimentation in isothermal fluid without thermal convection and melting, sedimentation in cool fluid and hot fluid without melting, and sedimentation with thermal convection and melting. The results showed that the vortex shedding arising from the natural convection changes the sedimentation velocity and induces horizontal oscillating.

CaCu3Ti4O12were prepared using conventional solid state reaction processing techniques of ceramic. The CaCu3Ti4O12crystalline phase was verified by XRD patterns. From SEM micrographs, obvious grain and grain boundary structures were observed, and the grain boundary region was comprised of small grains, which were found to be CuO, by EDS, the dielectric constant almost remains at a constant value of 105 in a wide temperature range, but drops dramatically at the frequency of 103 Hz when temperature is below 150 K. The relationship between conductance and temperature of CaCu3Ti4O12 was obtained through the I-V characteristics measured in the temperature range from 93 K to 373 K. It can be separated into three parts with the corresponding activation energies of 0.681, 0.155 and 0.009 eV, which are consistent with the activation energy of CuO ceramics. It was concluded that the small CuO grains in the grain boundary region dominated the DC conductance in CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics. Thus a new approach for explaining the extraordinary dielectric properties was provided.

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in two-dimensional compressible fluid is analyzed by the high precision numerical scheme. The linear growth rate of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is especially explored. The relations among the initial static pressure, conductive Mach number and linear growth rate of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability are quantitatively achieved at the case of the low and high Mach numbers. The simulation results agree with the experiment results in free shear layers and mixing layers. Simulation results show that the conductive Mach number is the proper parameter in definition the compression effect. The smaller the conductive Mach number is, the less compressible the fluid is. The linear growth rate of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability decreases with the increasing conductive Mach number.

In a stainless steel autoclave of 15 ml capacity, pure hexagonal aluminum nitride （h-AlN） foam has been synthesized by direct reaction of AlCl3 with NaN3 in non-solvent system at 650 ℃ for 3h. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） shows that the obtained foam material has characteristic sponge-like morphology. The results of X-ray diffraction （XRD） indicate that the AlN foam has a pure hexagonal structure. The absorption spectra at various temperatures indicate that there is a relatively strong absorption peak at about 202 nm. The infrared absorption spectrum shows that the foam has two absorption peaks, centered at 1381 cm-1 and 730 cm-1 respectively. In addition, a possible synthesis mechanism for h-AlN foam is discussed.

Author(s): Wang Jun, Hou Qing

The growth of helium cluster in titanium crystals at room temperature has been simulated detailedly by means of molecular dynamics. The mechanism of helium cluster growth in metal materials has been investigated from the viewpoint of energy. It is found that, as the helium cluster grows, dislocation loops are formed around the cluster and the binding energy of each additional helium atom to these clusters tends to decrease. However, at certain point in the growth process, the defects escape rapidly and the binding energy increases, helping the further growth of the helium cluster. As more helium atoms are introduced, the shape of the helium cluster is transformed gradually to a prismatic morphology from the irregular morphology and its thickness is always observed to be about 1.2 nm, without any obvious variation with degree of helium filling.

Author(s): Hou Ri-Li, Peng Jian-Xiang, Jing Fu-Qian

With a two-step approach，a pressure，P，and temperature，T，dependent constitutive model of shear modulus，G，applicable to metals was developed in this work. The goal of the first step is to find the relation of G with P along 0 K isotherm，i.e. the functional form of G1=G1（P，0 K），and the second one is to find the relation of G，starting from a given state of （P，0 K） with a value that was already determined in the first step，with T along the isobar of P，i.e. the functional form of G=G（P，T） or the constitutive model proposed by us. In both steps，results of supersonic measurement and first principles calculation were used. Aluminum，as a model material，was utilized to validate the rationality of this model. It is demonstrated that the predicted results of this model are in satisfactory agreement with the measured and numerically simulated G despite whether it evolves along shock compressed，isentropic，isothermal，or isobaric loci，thereby displaying the rationality and the universal nature of this constitutive model.

La1-xSrx FeO3-δ systems were investigated by low-frequency internal friction method. The results show that the curves of the internal friction and modulus versus temperature vary with the Sr-dopant content （x）. For the undoped sample，no obvious change on the internal friction and modulus curves was observed between -150—380℃，but the samples with x=0.25，1/3，0.5 and 0.6 show an intenal friction peak P1 with the feature of phase transitions，and the peak temperature moves toward lower temperature with incresing Sr content. This peak was suggested to be associated with a phase transition from rhombohedral to orthorhombic. The samples with x=0.25，1/3，0.5，0.6 and 2/3 show a relaxation type peak P2 accompanied by a decrease in modulus，which can be attributed to the motion of domain walls whose mobility was contolled by the diffusion of oxygen vacancies. The samples with x=0.5，0.6 and 2/3 show a rapid change in the curves of modulus versus temperature，which is related to a ferroelastic phase transition from rhombohedral to cubic.

The fluorinated diamond-like carbon （F-DLC） films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering under different radio-frequency power with trifluoromethane （CHF3） and argon （Ar） as source gases and pure graphite as a target. The hydrophobic nature of F-DLC films was studied. The result of measuring contact angle between double-stilled water and film surface shows that the maximal contact angle of film surface is approximately 115°. Factors influencing the hydrophobic nature of films were discussed by film surface morphology measured by atomic force microscopy （AFM）, Raman spectra as well as FTIR spectra. The result demonstrates that the hydrophobic nature of films lies on roughness and bonding configuration of film surfaces. The more the roughness，the stroncer the hydrophobic nature is，but it doesnt show a simple decrease or increase with the content of F in films and the ratio of sp3/sp2. Radio-frequency power influences the deposition rate，which correlates with the roughness of the film，proportion of mononuclear aromatics and bonding configuration of films surface （ways of F combination）.

The atomic structure models of the surface，the interface of oxide scale and bulk of Fe-Cr-Al alloy were set up by using corresponding computer programming, and the electronic structure parameters （environment-sensitive embedding energy，affinity energy，total energy and total density of states） of alloying elements on the surface，the interface of oxide scale and bulk of Fe-Cr-Al alloy, were calculated by the recursion method. The formation mechanism of the oxide film，the influences of sulfur and rare earth metals on the adhesion of oxide film of Fe-Cr-Al alloy and on the formation course of the oxide film were studied systematically on electronic level. The results show that the driving force of Al atom to segregate on to the surface was larger than that of Cr and Y atom. This leads to the inward diffusion of O atoms and the outward diffusion of Al atoms at the early stage of oxidation，resulting in a surface layer rich in Al and O atoms. The affinity force between oxygen and Al was larger （the affinity energy being lower），oxygen is easy to combine with Al atoms to form Al2O3 oxide scale. Yttrium is segregated to the surface，which inhibits the diffusion of Al to the surface of Fe-Cr-Al alloy. The lateral growth of oxide film is effectively controlled，the occurrence of the convoluted morphology of the scale is avoided，the adhesion of the oxide film to the Fe-Cr-Al matrix is increased by the addition of Y. The diffusion of impurity S to the interface of Fe-Cr-Al matrix and Al2O3 oxide scale increases the total energy of the interface，decreases the total density of states，which reduces the stability of the interface，weakens the cohesion of Fe-Cr-Al matrix and Al2O3 oxide scale.

Li Gui-Qin, Cai Jun — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Li Gui-Qin, Cai Jun

The transport property of graphene quantum dot devices of different length is investigated by first-principles calculation. The changes of transport property caused by roughing effect are sensitive to size of graphene. The results demonstrate that whether the electrode is connected with zigzag edge or armchair edge of graphene，both the transmission coefficient and current always change. But the changes have reversed effect for the two different connections when the length is increased.

In this paper，the recombination rate of charges in low density polyethylene （LDPE） film was obtained by measuring the number of photons released from the film when the film was short-circuit discharged after being set to high voltage of direct current （HVDC）. Under different designed conditions, including changing the polarity of HVDC and the value of applied field and the time duration of applied field，the amount of photons was measured to calculate the charges’ combination rate. The result showed that the measured number of photons （recombination rate） was sensitive to the applied field but insensitive to the applying duration. When the field was higher than 80 MV/m，the number of released photon increased slowly with increasing voltage. Using the date obtained in our experiment as well as those in other papers，the luminous efficiency of LDPE film was calculated to be 5.9×10-6，and the charges’ recombination rate during first 0.2 second at the beginning stage of short-circuit is around 2.8%.

Effect of oxygen on CdS polycrystalline thin films prepared in ambient of Ar and O2 by close spaced sublimation technology

In this paper，CdS polycrystalline thin films were prepared with the close-spaced sublimation （CSS） technology. In the deposition process，a controlled ambient of Ar and O2 mixture was used. The effect of oxygen on the microstructure，composition，morphology as well as optical and electrical properties of CdS thin films were studied systemically by XRD，XPS，AFM，UV-VIS and four-probe array method. The results showed that the CSS-grown CdS thin film has the hexagonal structure with crystallite size about 40 nm and the composition of them were rich in S. The impurity oxygen atoms mixed into CdS thin films and partly formed CdO，and with the increase of O2 concentration the chemical composition tinds more closely to the ideal stoichiometric proportion of CdO，the optical gap of thin films broadened and the ratio of photoconductivity to darkconductivity increased. Fortunately these effects are benefitial to CdS thin films for the photovoltaic application as a window layer.Additionally，it view of CdS/CdTe interface，we investigated the influence of oxygen on the cross-section morphology of CdS/CdTe thin films and the spectral response （SR） of the device. Then the results indicated that with the increase of O2 concentration in deposition ambient，the interdiffusion between CdS and CdTe decreased，and the SR of device in the range from 500 nm to 600 nm increased.We believe that the oxygen in CSS-grown CdS thin films plays a very important role in two aspects，firstly in improving the quality of CdS thin films for photovoltaic application，secondly in optimizing the CdS/CdTe interfacial properties in the CdTe solar cells.

Effect of quantum confinement on acceptor state lifetime in Be δ doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells

Song Ying-Xin, Zheng Wei-Min, Liu Jing, Chu Ning-Ning, Li Su-Mei — 2009-09-20

Using far-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy，we have investigated the effect of quantum-well confinement on the lifetime of shallow acceptor states in GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells with Be δ-doping. Low-temperature far-infrared absorption measurements clearly show three principal absorption lines due to transitions of Be acceptor states from the ground state to the first three odd-parity excited states，respectively. It is found that the lifetime of excited states is monotonically reduced with decreasing quantum-well width，from 350 ps in bulk to 55 ps in a 100 ? well. We suggest that the effect of quantum-well confinement on zone-fold acoustic-phonon modes increases the intra-acceptor scattering rate of acoustic-phonon-assisted relaxation.

The modified M-DNA molecular wires were prepared by adding nickel ions of low concentration to the calf thymus DNA in alkaline solution. And we investigated the conductivity of single DNA and M-DNA molecules. The results indicated that the M-DNA and the B-DNA show semiconductor properties. But the conductivity of M-DNA is higher than that of the B-DNA，and the voltage gap is smaller. When the concentration of nickel ions is more than 0.1 m mol/L，the conductance of DNA does not change with the nickel concentration. In addition，the right to left-handed DNA transition was realized by adding nickel ions of appropriate concentration to the calf thymus DNA in neutral solution and the structure of left handed Z-DNA was observed by STM. The result showed that the major and minor grooves are obvious，unwinding and disordering regions can be found in the Z-DNA. The conductivity of left-handed DNA was much lower than that of the B-DNA. The conductivity relationship of B-DNA，M-DNA and Z-DNA is GM-DNA<GB-DNA<GZ-DNA. The UV absorption spectra and the Raman spectra indicated that the transition of B-Z DNA appears when the concentration of nickel ions is about 1.7 mol/L.

A series of Bi0.2Ca0.8MnO3 samples with average grain size ranging from 38 to 1500 nm have been prepared by the sol-gel method and their structure，electrical transport，and magnetic properties were investigated. It is found that with the reduction of the grain size，the charge ordered phase gradually diminishes till it is completely suppressed，leading to appearance of the spin-glass state at low temperature. These behaviors are discussed in terms of the martensitic transformation and surface effect.

The magnetization of antiferrmagnetic layer and the spin wave in the system of the exchange bias

Pan Jing, Zhou Lan, Hu Jing-Guo — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Pan Jing, Zhou Lan, Hu Jing-Guo

Using a method of free energy minimization，the spin wave of ferromagnetic （FM）/antiferromagnetic （AFM） bilayers was investigated，in which the net magnetization of AFM layer has been considered. In this model，the thin FM layer is taken to be a single crystal with cubic and uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropies，but AFM layer has only single uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy and its thickness is finite. Numerical calculation shows that there are two modes of spin waves：namely the acoustic mode and the optical mode. Moreover, only when there is net magnetization of AFM layer can the optical mode be observed. There are two branches of FMR curves，i.e. the branches of weak and strong external field，which are distinguished by the critical field，while the critical field depends on the exchange bias field，the magnetization and thickness of AFM layer. The effect of the exchange bias field on the optical mode is more obvious than that on the acoustic mode，while the effects groduced by net magnetization and thickness of AFM layer cant be distinguished. However，when the net magnetization of AFM layer is neglected，only an acoustic mode is observed.

The structural and magnetic properties have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements, and positron annihilation technique. The X-ray diffraction shows that the Tb2AlFe16-xMnx （x=1—8） compounds have a hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure. The positron annihilation spectra show that Mn substitution for Fe has the ferromagnetic interaction decreased, and that there exists a strong magnetoelastic effect in Tb2AlFe16-xMnx compound. The magnetization measurement shows that the Curie temperature and the spontaneous magnetization of Tb2AlFe16-xMnx compounds decrease rapidly with increasing x.

The dielectric properties of 0.75Pb（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-0.25PbTiO3 （PMN-25PT） ceramic under hydrostatic pressure and pressure-induced phase transition were investigated. PMN-25PT ceramic is pure perovskite with weak relaxation at 1 bar. With increasing hydrostatic pressure，the temperature，Tm，of top dielectric constant decreases，/+{dTm}/-{dP}≈-4℃/kbar，frequency dispersion and phase transition diffuse increases，remnant polarization decreased continuously. The hydrostatic pressure dependence of dielectric constant （ε） is similar to the temperature dependence of dielectric constant. The relax ferroelectric-paraelectric （RFE-PE） phase transition was induced by hydrostatic pressure and the transition was gradual change process with stronger relaxor behavior than by temperature-induced.

Based on a three-dimensional modulated free carrier absorption （MFCA） model，simulation was performed to investigate the dependences of MFCA amplitude and phase on the electronic transport properties （the carrier lifetime，the carrier diffusivity，and the front surface recombination velocity） of semiconductor wafers at different pump-to-probe separations and different modulation frequencies. Experiments were performed with a silicon wafer，in which amplitude and phase were recorded as functions of modulation frequencies at several different two-beam separations. The electronic transport properties of semiconductor wafers were determined simultaneously via multi-parameter fitting procedure. These results showed that the method is capable of improving the measurement precision of the simultaneous multi-parameter determination of transport properties.

The Eu2+ activated blue emitting BaAl2Si2O8：Eu2+ phosphor was synthesized by one-step calcination process of precursor prepared with chemical coprecipitation. X-ray diffraction （XRD），fluorescence spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the structure，luminescent property and morphology of the BaAl2Si2O8：Eu2+ blue phosphor. The results showed that BaAl2Si2O8：Eu2+ phosphor synthesized by the process was pure. The crystal structure of BaAl2Si2O8 transformed from hexagonal structure to monoclinic structure after precursor doping H3BO3，which changed the emission peak and luminescence intensity of BaAl2Si2O8：Eu2+ phosphor. The luminescence intensity firstly increased with H3BO3 doping concentration increasing，then decreased. The optimum mass fraction of H3BO3 is about 1.5%. The use of H3BO3 as flux could help the phosphor to crystallize，thus enhance the intensities of the excitation and emission spectra of BaAl2Si2O8：Eu2+ phosphor，improve the morphology of particles，and endow them with round edges，smooth surfaces and nearly spherical shapes.

LaPO4：Dy phosphors with different morphology were prepared by adjusting phosphorus sources and reagent in hydrothermal reaction and their vacuum ultraviolet excited luminescence were investigated. The results show that the luminescent intensity of LaPO4：Dy phosphor varies for different morphologies and different particle size. The site symmetry of Dy3+ ions in the LaPO4：Dy phosphor with three different morphologies was consistent and the ratio of yellow emission to blue emission of the three phosphors was kept in 1 to 1.5. From the comparison of the excitation spectra of LaPO4：Dy and GdPO4：Eu it could been seen that the energy transfer efficiency from phosphate host to Dy3+ ion is lower than that to Eu3+ ion. Meanwhile stronger f-d transition was observed in the excitation spectra.

The photoelectric composites of poly （2，5-dibutyloxy-1，4-phenylene vinylene）/ multi-walled carbon nanotubes （PDBOPV/MWCNTs） were prepared by in-situ polymerization. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicate that PDBOPV is coated on the surface of MWCNTs. The dimensions of the composite were observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy，the diameter of PDBOPV/MWCNTs was measured to be about 35—45 nm，and the thickness of the coated PDBOPV is about 15 nm. The absorption of PDBOPV/MWCNTs is strengthened with the contents of MWCNTs increasing，and a red shift of the absorption peak can be clearly observed in the UV-Vis spectrum. Photoluminescence spectroscopy indicates that the maximum emission wavelength of the PDBOPV/MWCNTs is blue-shifted and intensity of photoluminescence decreases with increasing MWCNTs concentration. PDBOPV/MWCNTs show fluorescence quenching，which involves the inter-molecular photo-induced charge transfer process. The optical band gap of PDBOPV/MWCNTs decreases gradually with the contents of MWCNTs increasing. Third-order optical nonlinear susceptibility of PDBOPV/MWCNT composites were measured by degenerate four wave mixing. The results showed that the third-order nonlinear optical responses of PDBOPV/MWCNT composites were enhanced gradually when MWCNT content increased，which can be attributed to inter-molecular photo-induced electron transfer and π-π electron coupling between PDBOPV and MWCNTs.

Carbon nanotube-nanostructure Al2O3-TiO2 composite powders were prepared by mixing carbon nanotubes with nanostructure Al2O3-TiO2 ceramics in an ultrasonic bath. Electromagnetic parameters of the composite material were determined at 2—18GHz. The experimental results show that the complex permititivity and loss tangent of the dielectric increase as the weight content of carbon nanotubes increases. The minimum absorption value increases firstly and then dtcreases and the resonance frequency gradually moves to the low frequency and with increase of the weight content of carbon nanotubes and the thickness of composite coatings. Carbon nanotube 7wt%-nanostructure Al2O3-TiO2 composite coatings were deposited by micro-plasma spraying. The minimum absorption value for 1.5mm thick composite coatings was -26.3dB. The frequency range for absorption value less than -10dB of 2.0mm thick composite coatings was 3.60GHz. When the 1.0mm thick composite coating was heated to 500℃, the minimum high temperature absorption value was -12.2dB and the frequency range for absorption value less than -10dB was 2.00GHz. There is a linear relationship between experimental and theoretical thickness of composite coatings:d=0.898D+0.515, where D is the experimental thickness and d is the theoretical thickness.

Organized semiflexible networks composed of a large number of cross-linked quasi-linear filaments, such as actin filament semiflexible networks which determines cell stiffness and transmits force during cellular shape changes. The mechanical property of semiflexible networks plays an essential role in numerous physiological processes, and is a major research topic in the domain of complex network dynamics as well. In this work, by using the ANSYS code, we studied the shear modulus of semiflexible networks with both fixed crosslinks and free crosslinks. The scale factor L/λ, where L is the length of filament and λ the non-affine length, is appropriate for characterizing the shear modulus. The ratio of the two cases was calculated and we found a minimal value at L/λ≈1.05.

Directional solidification of SCN-3wt% H2O was carried out under externally imposed parallel shear flow, and the growth characteristics of dendritic tips, primary arms and secondary arms were investigated. A bright band related to solute boundary layer along the dendritic tip is observed for the first time. It was confirmed that the left-right symmetry of the dendritic tip is broken up by the shear flow, with the dendritic tip tilting toward the upstream side. The tilting angle increases with the pulling rate. Compared with the case of static condition, the primary spacing becomes lager under shear flow, and this is due to the coupling effect of flow and solute fields. The growth of secondary arm is promoted at the upstream side whereas greatly restrained at the downstream side, which is caused by the circumfluence among dendrites produced by force flow.

Slow drag in jammed granular medium

Peng Zheng, Lu Kun-Quan, Hou Mei-Ying — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Peng Zheng, Lu Kun-Quan, Hou Mei-Ying

Movement of intruder in jammed granular medium may result in interior reorganization of force chain structure. The form of drag force experienced by the intruder reflects the macro effect of the reorganization. By measuring the slow-pushing force of spheres intruding vertically into a granular bed, depth dependence of vertical drag force in jammed granular medium is studied experimentally. It is found that the drag force curve has a concave-convex transition with increasing penetration depth and the drag force follows different depth dependence in different regimes. In shallow regime, there is an exponent 1.3 power-law depth dependence; while in deep regime, the drag force is not saturated but has a tendency of power-law dependence with exponent 0.3. By studying the properties of the inflection point of the concave-convex transition, we have shown that the slowdown of the increasing rate of drag force is not a result of sidewall support proposed by previous researchers, but a result of volume effect of the intruder in granular medium. Moreover, the hydrostatic model is not appropriate in the case of slow drag and static granular bed, for not only the depth dependence of the drag force is higher than linear, but also its coefficient is much greater than the hydrostatic estimate.

Structure transformation and microstructure of the electrode active materials in a graphite / Li （Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3）O2 lithium ion battery during charge-discharge process have been studied by XRD. It is found that the lattice parameter of Li （Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3）O2, a and c, decrease and increase respectively. Its micro-strain ε and diffraction intensity ratio, I104/I101 and I012/I101, increases and decrease respectively, because Li atoms de-intercalate out of the crystal lattice of LiMO2. Meanwhile, the lattice parameter, a and c, micro-strain ε and stacking disorder P of 2H-graphite all increase, becausing Li atoms to intercalate into 2H-graphite.During charge process, Li atoms occupying （000） sites may preferentially de-intercalate from LiMO2 crystal lattice, and subsequently the Li atoms occupying （2/3 1/3 1/3）and（1/3 2/3 2/3）sites de-intercalate from LiMO2. When intercalating into 2H-graphite, Li atoms preferentially occupy interstitial sites between C atom hexagonal net planes. When the stacking disorder degree reaches a given value, 3R-graphite phase may separate out gradually. When the battery has been fully charged or over charged, LiC12 and LiC6 phases can be formed. During discharge process, intercalation and de-intercalation behaviors of Li atoms are reversed. Li atoms may de-intercalate preferentially from interstitial sites of 2H-graphite and intercalate preferentially into （000） sites of LiMO2 crystal lattice. But these processes are not fully reversible.

Amorphous/crystalline blend effects on the performance of polymer-based photovoltaic cells

Bilayer TiO2/polymer photovoltaic cells are prepared by using regioregular poly（3-hexylthiophene）（P3HT） and branched poly（ethyleneimine）（BPEI） as an additive to P3HT. Influences of BPEI, an amorphous polymer, on the performance of bilayer TiO2/P3HT cells are investigated by means of steady-state current-voltage measurements and dynamic intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy, in combination with differential thermal analysis, UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Due to the high crystallinity of P3HT, bilayer TiO2/P3HT cell exhibits a poor performance. As P3HT is blended with BPEI in the weight ratio of WBPEI/P3HT=1％—5％, the performance of the devices is greatly improved; in particular, as WBPEI/P3HT= 1%, the cell exhibits an open-circuit voltage of 0.8V and a short-circuit current of 20μA/cm2. Results show that the influence of BPEI on the cell performance originates from the changed interfacial contact at TiO2/P3HT interface rather than the varied optical properties of P3HT in P3HT-BPEI blend. BPEI imposes two competitive effects on interfacial contact between TiO2 and P3HT, depending on the compositional structure of the blend. On one hand, BPEI improves the interfacial contact by reducing the crystallinity of P3HT and enhancing the interaction between P3HT and TiO2. On the other hand, the interfacial contact will become worse with more BPEI chains accumulating on TiO2 surface. A good contact at TiO2/P3HT interface facilitates the access to a high exciton dissociation efficiency, a long lifetime of photogenerated electrons and further a high device efficiency. The results presented in this paper are expected to provide new insights and a novel strategy for improving the performance of polymer-based photovoltaic cells.

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of the two coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons connected by coupling. The system exhibits p∶q phase-locked （i.e. a periodic oscillation defined as p action potentials generated by q cycle stimulations） depending on the value of stimulus frequency. Whether phase-locking occurs or not relies on the fire patterns of the system. Furthermore, the stimulus frequency and coupling intensity can stir up rich bifurcation respectively, and the stimulus frequency affects the system fire patterns more obviously. The study has also found that chaotic behavior is the transition state to other fire patterns.

This study investigates the vibro-acoustography of sector array transducers. Based on the vibro-acoustography and basic sector-array field theory, a modified and accurate velocity potential function is obtained. We further calculated and simulated the point spread function （PSF） of the system, designed the phantom of tissue, and simulated the phantom imaging. In the end, the influencing factors on spatial resolution with sector array transducers are analyzed on the basis of the simulation results. The results reveal that high resolution and contrast can be achieved, and this imaging method is of great value in detecting thermal lesion after high intensity ultrasound surgery and so on. The resolution will be improved by increasing central frequency, reducing geometric focal distance, and using transducers with larger aperture size.

The product was characterized and analyzed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. Gamma energy-spectrum measurement was carried out to evaluate its radiation-shielding properties. EGSnrc user code was also employed to theoretically simulate its above properties based on Monte Carlo method and analyze the influences of this material on the fluence and dose in the detecting area. The results revealed that this composite material has excellent radiation-shielding ability and this ability decreased with the increase of γ-ray energy. According to our theoretical simulation, in pure air, the change of fluence is discontinnous and looks like a ladder whose step width beomes narrower grdually and the dose increased slowly whith depth. When the sample was put into the air, in the air medium area, the changes of fluence and dose were no longer related with ray energy but with the sample thickness, while in the sample medium area, the changes of fluence and dose were not rectilinear and the rate of changes makes an obviously turn at the boundary between the sample and air.

Author(s): Cui Hong, Zhang Shu-Wen, Wang Qing-Ye

The response of the South China Sea （SCS） to Typhoon Imbudo was examined using POM model. The results indicated that SST decreased by 2—6℃with a rightward-biased response as Typhoon Imbudo passed across the SCS. Due to a strong mixing process, the mixed layer （ML） depth deepened as much as 10—60m and ML heat budget lost 824.78W/m2, which was dominated by the vertical mixing. By the response of upper ML heat transport, the temperature below the ML increased and oscillated near the inertial period. Furthermore, strong inertial currents were generated by the storm with the max currents up to 1.4m/s in the upper ML.

Artificially triggered lightning experiments were carried out at Binzhou, Shandong Province, China during summer form 2005 to 2008. The discharge current at the channel base of triggered lightning were measured. The geometric mean value of the peak current for 21 negative return strokes was 14.6kA, the geometric mean of the 10%—90% risetime was 2.3μs, the geometric mean of the half peak width was 17 μs and the geometric mean of the charge transfer within 1ms of return strokes was 1.2C. There was essentially no correlation between the return stroke peak current and 10％—90% risetime or between return stroke peak and the width of the current waveform at half of its peak value. No dependence of peak current on grounding resistance was found either. There is correlation between return stroke current peak and charge transfer within 1ms after return stroke initiation, and the correlation between return stroke peak and the stepness of the front waveform of return stroke was also found. Compare the parameters of the triggered lightning with natural cloud to ground lightning, it was found that the triggered lightning stroke is similar to subsequent stroke of natural lightning. So the results of triggered lightning can be used to the lighting protection.

The determination of observation weight in inversion ocean duct using radar clutter

Sheng Zheng, Huang Si-Xun, Zhao Xiao-Feng — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Sheng Zheng, Huang Si-Xun, Zhao Xiao-Feng

Observation weight is generally not considered in the works on inversion ocean duct using radar echo. In order to solve the problem，an exponential expression similar to that of the electromagnetic wave propagation loss is used to describe change of observation weight with distance，and the standard statistics retrieval algorithm is used to test the effect of retrieval speed and precision caused by different observation weight. Experimental results show that the exponential expression can approprielly describe change of observation weight with distance，and the determination of loss index is of great importance. Reasonable observation weight can eviclently improve the retrieval speed and precision，and the optimal loss index is different for electromagnetic waves of different frequency.

Phase screen distribution for simulating laser propagation along an inhomogeneous atmospheric path

Qian Xian-Mei, Zhu Wen-Yue, Rao Rui-Zhong — 2009-09-20

Author(s): Qian Xian-Mei, Zhu Wen-Yue, Rao Rui-Zhong

With respect to the problem of light uplinks and downlinks in atmospheric turbulence, the strength of turbulence changes greatly along the path. The distribution of phase screens on the path is a vital problem to be solved in the numerical simulation of light propagation. Three different approaches: uniform distributed phase screen （UDPS）, equivalent Rytov index-interval phase screen （ERPS） and equivalent Fried parameter-interval phase screen （EFPS） are discussed. It is found that, by using ERPS method, the distance between phase screens changes automatically according to the strength of turbulence, and the fluctuation of turbulence can also be sampled sufficiently. Under the precondition that the critera for phase screen interval are satisfied, the Rytov index interval of ERPS could be any arbitrary constant value. Statistical results show that, even the Rytov index interval changes by one order of magnitude, both effective beam radius and Strehl ratio of energy change for only 2.1%. And simulated results agree well with theoretical ones. All this indicates the stability and reliability of the ERPS method.

The long range correlation of East Asia’s atmosphere

Author(s): Wang Qi-Guang, Hou Wei, Zheng Zhi-Hai, Gao Rong

The paper investigates the height and temperature fields reanalysis data of NCEP/NCAR by means of detrended fluctuation analysis method, and gives their scaling exponent distribution of East Asia region. The empirical investigation indicates that both of height field and temperature filed have the property of long range correlation, which matches with the features of space distribution as a whole. As for the grid data of the same layer, the long range correlation varies obviously when the latitude changes. The low-latitude areas near the equator have a bigger scaling exponent and a better long range correlation, whereas the mid-latitude and high latitude areas have a smaller scaling exponent and a worse long range correlation. The average scaling exponent increases with the layer growth of height field data, and the scaling exponent varies obviously when the latitude changes. The scaling exponent of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is obviously greater than other areas at the same latitude. For the data of temperature, the average scaling exponent first decreases with the layer growth then increases, and the average scaling exponent has a definite latitude trait. All in all, the scaling exponent of height field’s long range correlation is greater than that of temperature field. The investigation for different seasons displays that the long range correlation exists in height field and temperature field as well. And we find that the scaling exponent of winter time is greater than that of other seasons. This may provide a theory for the summer flood season forecast which is based on the winter information.

The spatial and temporal stability of temperature correlation network is analyzed based on extreme temperature, El Niňo/La Niňa abnormal year, key areas of temperature change and high frequent year of extreme respectively. Results show that, the connectivity of network decreases by filtering out extreme temperature, property of the network at the inflexion P=0.1 or 0.9, might be defined as the of boundary of extreme temperature. La Niňa network possesses more significan links and higher clustering coefficient than the El Niňo network, which indicates that the former is more communicative and more stable than the latter. And based on these statistical properties, we verified that during La Niňa years predictability is higher compared to El Niňo years and normal years. Furthermore, we also verified that during high frequency years of extreme high temperature predictability is higher than high frequent years of extreme low temperature and normal years. We also come to the conclusion that middle and east tropical Pacific （180°E—80°E，15°N—15°S） are key areas of global temperature changes, and exlernal forces acting on these areas have great effect on global temperature change.

In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation model based on atmosphere model, cosmic ray model and geomagnetic field model has been developed for the near space atmospheric neutron environment. The neutron distributions induced by cosmic rays and solar particles have been calculated separately. What is more, the influence of cutoff rigidity to neutron flux has been analyzed. By comparing with ARM model, we can draw the conclusion that our model is credible and excellence in calculating neutron flux induced by solar particles. The model could be applied in many fields, such as evaluating single event effects of microelectronics and analyzing radiation dose received by the air crew.

Author(s): Li Wei-Hu, Yuan Rong

A sample including 22 BL Lac objects was collected. The possible correlations between the γ-ray emission at 1 GeV and the radio emission at 8.4GHz or 5.0GHz were investigated. Main results are as follows: 1） for minimum γ-ray data, there is no correlation between γ-ray and radio flux density. For maximum and average data, there are good correlations between γ-ray and radio emissions, with the maximum correlation coefficient reaching 0.85, and the chance probability p-4; 2） there are weak correlations between γ-ray spectral index and the radio spectral index. Therefore, the γ-ray radiation was the SSC process.
