Chen Long, He Sai-Ling, Shen Lin-Fang
2003, 52 (10): 2386-2392. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2386
Abstract +
The propagation properties of evanescent waves in a multi-layered structure containing materials with negative refractive index are analyzed. The decay or magnification of the amplitude of evanescent waves in different situations is explained analytically in detail. In particular, the influence of the dissipation of the negative refractive index medium on the photon tunneling effect is discussed. The propagation and energy storage of evanescent waves are shown clearly by using the incidence of a Gauss beam.

2003, 52 (10): 2393-2398. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2393
Abstract +
We mainly consider the case that one of the two entangled atoms with two energy levels interacts with a single-mode and double-photon cavity field. The atom is selectively detected after exiting the cavity, and it is found that the noncla ssical properties of field states depend strongly on the entanglement degree bet ween the two atoms. Meanwhile, it is proved that the squeezing of the field and the photon antibunching can be greatly enhanced via selective atomic measurement s.
Finite size effect in EZ model
Xie Yan-Bo, Wang Bing-Hong, Quan Hong-Jun, Yang Wei-Song, Wang Wei-Ning
2003, 52 (10): 2399-2403. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2399
Abstract +
The finite size effect in the Eguiluz-Zimmermann (EZ) model is studied. It is found that the finite size effect is very important if the number of the agents N is large enough and the probability of trading among the agents is small enough :a1/N. In this case, the model becomes almost a big single cluster system that includes almost all the agents. For the small clusters, the size distribution c an still satisfy a power law. However, the exponent will change due to the fluct uation effect. For a1/N, it can be proved that the fluctuation effect is not i mportant, hence the mean field theory is correct.

Zhu Heng-Jiang, Li Rong, Wen Xiao-Dong
2003, 52 (10): 2404-2408. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2404
Abstract +
There are many reports on extracting the single frequency signal under noise by the stochastic resonance, but in which the information that the signal carries is zero. The experimental investigation in this paper manifests, when it is driven by an amplitude modulation wave and white noise, not only that the output of nonlinear bistable system exhibits the stochastic resonance phenomenon, but also that the modulation signal (information signal) can be extracted from the output by detecting and filtering. As compared with that from the electronics system by detecting and filtering direct the signal-to-noise(SNR) of modulation signal f rom the nonlinear bistable system is higher. Under the condition of adiabatic ap proximation the analytical formulation of the SNR of modulation signal is provid ed.

Zhang Hao, Ma Xi-Kui
2003, 52 (10): 2415-2420. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2415

Numerical results show that this method is easy to be implemented in engineering, requires little control cost, stabilizes the original unstable fixed points within the chaotic attractor and is robust enough. Thus, it is very suitable for engineering applications.

Luo De-Li, Meng Da-Qiao, Zhu Zheng-He
2003, 52 (10): 2438-2442. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2438
Abstract +
The structures of LiH, LiO and LiOH have been optimized based on the density functional (B3LYP/sdd) method with relativistic effective core potential. The Murrell-Sorbie analytic potential energy functions for LiH and LiO, and the many-body expansion analytic potential energy function for LiOH are derived by using the many-body expansion theory and normal equation fitting methods. The dissociation energies for LiH, LiO and LiOH are calculated from the analytic potential energy functions. Then, the atomic and molecular reaction dynamic processes for the collision of O+LiH(ν=0,j=0) system are investigated with the present potential energy functions by Monte-Carlo quasi-classical trajectory approach. The results show that O+LiH(ν=0,j=0) has no energy threshold, and the dominated product is LiO.

Pu Xiao-Yun, Yang Zheng, Jiang Nan, Chen Yong-Kang, Dai Hong
2003, 52 (10): 2443-2448. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2443
Abstract +
The enhancement of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of weak-gain Raman modes is demonstrated by overlapping the Stokes wavelengths of the Raman modes with Dye lasing gain. Four SRS spectral lines related to C-H stretching modes of ethanol in a~10-5mol/L Rhodamine 640-doped ethanol pendant drop can be ob served, which are supported by the lasing gain of Rhodamine 640. The dye lasing is found to be partially and even totally suppressed by the intense SRS of ethanol as the pump intensity increasing from 1.2×108W/cm2 to 3. 3×108W/cm2.

2003, 52 (10): 2449-2452. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2449
Abstract +
A simple model is proposed to study the ionization of the atomic hydrogen by fast election impact in coplanar asymmetric geometry, making use of the post form of the enery shell transition matrix element and the two-potential formula. By virtue of dividing the full kinetic energy operator, we obtain an approximate solution of the three body problem through the canceling of the motion of two-election mass and exponent factor of relative motion and the approximation of projectile plane wave. TDCS(triple differential cross section) is expressed by the product of two factors,the structure factor T2 and correlation one T12. In this article, the contribution of these factors is investigated using the method of asymptotic series and method.

2003, 52 (10): 2453-2456. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2453
Abstract +
Soft x-ray emission from Ar clusters irradiated by intense 150 fs laser pulses a t an intensity of~5×1015 W/cm2 has been measured with a flat field spe ctrometer. Strong transitions from ArⅧ charge states have been observed, some s pectral lines belong to ArⅫ and ArⅩⅢ. Compared with optical field ionization, the interaction of intense laser pulse with clusters enhances drastically the a bsorption of laser energy and higher charge states are obtained as well. The sig nificant change in the spectrum is attributed to the collisinal heating of small -sized Ar clusters formed at on enough baking pressure of gas.

Le Ren-Chang, Jia Wen-Yi, Wu Yun-Ping
2003, 52 (10): 2457-2461. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2457
Abstract +
The study of radon release and migration is the basic theoretical issue for rado n measurement, which has a close relationship with extensive applications in geo science, environmental science and so on. In this paper, a new theory of migrati on of radon and its daughters has been discussed. The mechanism of vertical mig ration of radon and its daughters is: after α-particles emitted by radon and it s daughters decelerate, they become He nucleus. The He nuclei can combine with r adon and its daughters and form clusters. Because He is very light, it can make the specific gravity of the clusters lower than their buoyancy in the medium. As a result, the clusters will rise of their own accord. When the specific gravity of the clusters is higher than their buoyancy, the clusters will drop down. The theoretical distribution equation is established to describe radon migration an d proved by experiment as well.

Kinoform-based iterative random phase encryption
Liu Fu-Min, Zhai Hong-Chen, Yang Xiao-Ping
2003, 52 (10): 2462-2465. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2462
Abstract +
We propose a kinoform-based iterative random phase encryption method, in which t he phase retrieval algorithm is divided into two steps: 1) random phase encrypti on and 2) iteration solving for phase distributions of both the key phase plate and the kinoform. Since the iterations are executed between a Fourier spectrum a nd the kinoform, the decryption errors can be effectively depressed. By the quan tization process for the phase distributions during the iterations, a method of increasing the abundance of design is used to depress the decryption errors. The simulation results are presented at the end, which agree well with the theoreti cal analysis.

Abstract +
Influence of energy-transfer upconversion (ETU) effect on the output pulse in diode-pumped Cr:YAG passively Q-switched lasers is investigated. Using the ETU theory and Q-switching rate equations, the initial population inversion, the final population inversion and the threshold population inversion at the maximum photon density are achieved. The output pulse width and pulse energy depend on the relation between them. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The method of reducing the ETU effect is also discussed and it is useful to optimize this kind of lasers.

Abstract +
Microcrystalline phases were produced by laser irradiation on the Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 amorphous ribbon with a power ranging from 40 to 170W,scaning speed 10mm/s,laser beam spot 20mm. Hyperfine structures of the original and crystallized samples were analyzed by transmission Mssbauer spectros copy. We discovered that the basic parameters of the Mssbauer spectra——isome r shift(IS), quadrupole splitting(QS) and hyperfine magnetic field(Hhf) ch ange with the laser power. Experimental results show that the magnetic moment re organization of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5 B9 amorphous phases has take n place and the atom magnetic moment direction maintains a preferred in-plane or ientation, The average hyperfine magnetic field of the amorphous phase is improv ed because of the microcrystalline phase. The crystallized phase was Fe-Si alloy with a DO3 structure, and the area of its spectral lines is about 2% —3.4%. This is caused by the jump of one electron in Fe atom 3d6 shell int o Si atom 3p2 shell, forming a stability electron group.

2003, 52 (10): 2492-2499. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2492
Abstract +
In this paper, the spring model for the anisotropic interface layer is built and introduced to the global matrix technique that is popularly used for analyzing layered composites. In introducing the spring interface condition, the philosophy adopted is to incorporate it with a minimum disruption to the program structur e, particularly the assembly of the global matrix. The spring interface has ther efore been introduced as a "material layer". This layer has material constants w hich govern the stiffness across it and has zero thickness. The layer can be bui lt into the appropriate location in the global matrix without making any changes in the other layers of the system. Numerical computations for the Lamb wave dis persion curves in two-layered anisotropic composite media with different interfa ce conditions including rigid connection, slip connection, and complete disbond are made,and plots of the through-thickness particle displacement distributions of Lamb modes for the rigid bond interface and slip bond interface are compared .

2003, 52 (10): 2508-2513. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2508
Abstract +
After the Gd3(Fe1-xCox)29-yCry compound was formed, Sm3(Fe1-xCox)29 -yCry compounds were also successfully fabricated. Phase stability of R3(Fe1-xCox)29-yCr y(R=Gd,Sm) compounds was invest igated by x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. Atomic radius theory was employed to interpret why the 3∶29 compounds with high Co component had to cont ain more stabilizing elements. Less stabilizing elements are needed for those wi th larger atomic radius. However,a large atom of a stabilizing element augments the lattice parameter of the compound, which is disadvantageous to the stability of the 3∶29 phase. By studying the phase stability of R3(Fe1-x Cox)29-yCry(R=Gd,Sm) compounds, we have fabricated the Gd3(Fe1-xCox )29-yCry(0.4≤x≤1.0; 4.0≤y≤6.5) and Sm3(Fe1-xCox)29-y Cry(0.4≤x≤1.0; 4.5≤y≤7.5)compounds with room-temperature uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

2003, 52 (10): 2520-2524. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2520
Abstract +
In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the structure of Ni-based single superalloys with a {100} Ni/Ni3Al grain boundary. Tw o differe nt initial models are relaxed at 300K using Finnis-Sinclair-type potential. Our simulations reveal that the misfit energy due to the difference of their lattice constants is released not by long-range lattice misfit but by forming dislocati ons in local regions. Due to the surrounding differences of Ni3Al pha se in Ni-based phase, the dislocations formed are different.

Gold nanop articles-doped glasses reveal stronger optical limiting effects for nano-second laser pulses, and optical nonlinearities of the composite glass were also affec ted by laser irradiation conditions.

Wang Lu-Xia, Zhang Da-Cheng, Liu De-Sheng, Han Sheng-Hao, Xie Shi-Jie
2003, 52 (10): 2547-2552. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2547
Abstract +
We investigate theoretically the dynamic process of polarons and bipolarons in n ondegenerate polymers. In a low field, it is bigger that the carriers are charge d polarons or bipolarons,their lattice configurations and charge densities move together all along. The velocity of polarons is bigger than that of bipolarons in the same system. Both polarons and bipolarons have their saturated velocities .The saturated velocities decrease with the increase of the nondegenerate parame ters. In a high electric field, the electronic states of polarons and bipolaron s are dissociated from their lattice states, and move with high velocities. In t his case, the carriers are electrons rather than polarons or bipolarons.

2003, 52 (10): 2558-2562. doi: 10.7498/aps.52.2558
Abstract +
The Raman back scattering/channeling technique was used to analyze the damage recovery at different annealing temperatures and to determine the lattice locatio n of the Er-implanted GaN samples. A better damage recovery was observed with in creasing annealing temperature below 1000℃, but a complete recovery of the impl antation damage cannot be achieved. For a sample annealed for at 900℃ 30 min th e Er and Ga angular scans across the axis was measured, indicating that a bout 76% of Er ions occupies substitutional sites. Moreover, the photoluminscenc e (PL) properties of Er-implanted GaN thin films have been also studied. The exp erimental results indicate that those samples annealed at a higher temperature b elow 1000℃ had a stronger 1539nm PL intensity. The thermal quenching of PL inte nsity for samples annealed at 900℃ measured at temperatures from 15K to 300K is 30%.

We have designed a novel three-valued single-electron memory.This memory compris es two multiple-tunnel junctions(MTJs) and a single-electron transistor which ac ts as an electrometer.Because the Coulomb gaps of the two multiple-tunnel juncti ons are different,the device have three stable states.It is possible to fabricat e multiple-valued single-electron dynamic random access memories(DRAM)and nonvol atile random access memories(NOVORAM).The memory,which is promising for high fre quency and low power-dissipation,can achieve ultradense data storage.

Abstract +
This paper analyzes the degradation in GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobitity transistors (PHEMT's) by measuring the electric characteristics in GaAs PHEMT's before and after stress. The relation between impact ionization rate and maximu m channel electric field is gained. An analytical expression of impact ionizatio n rate versus maximum channel electric field is deduced by fitting the experimen tal results. The electric characteristic and reliability in GaAs PHEMT's can be improved and evaluated using the analytical expression. The impact ionization in channel should be decreased in order to improve the breakdown voltage in GaAs P HEMT's.

We used the first equation of Ginzburg_Landau theory to study superconductivity with no magnetic field considered. We have obtained the effective mass m of Ginz burg_Landau equations, which has a special property, namely it can be negative. Some explicit expressions for different cases are derived, which are consistent with experimental data.

Abstract +
Using Bogoliubov_de Gennes equations,we obtain the self_consistent equation in a ferromagnetic superconductor. Taking into account the rough interface scatterin g effects, within Bogoliubov_de Gennes equations and Furusaki_Tsukada formula we calculate the dc Josephson current in the double ferromagnet_superconductor tun nel junctions. It is found that dc Josephson currents in FS/I/FS are suppressed by the ferromagnetic exchange interaction for weak barrier strength and weak rou gh interface scattering strength. The only exception that the dc Josephson curre nts increase with the ferromagnetic exchange interaction occurs if all three con ditions are satisfied: at low temperature, for strong barrier strength or strong rough interface scattering strength, and in an antiparallel configuration.

Abstract +
Sr_Ru cuprates synthesized via traditional solid_state reaction is always accompanied by the formation of small amounts of SrRuO3 impurity phase with ferromagnetism. In this paper we report that not only the pure phase compound Sr2 GdR uO6 without any ferromagnetic SrRuO3 impurity phase is suc cessfully prepared by means of a new_type reaction of solid state in presence of O2 (or air)_wat er vapor mixed atmosphere,but also RuSr2(Gd,Ce)2Cu2O10(Ru_1222)wit hout any ferromagnetic SrRuO3 impurity phase is further synthesized u nder a re lative low reactive temperature when the Sr2GdRuO6 is used as a precursor. T he authors discuss the formation of the product Sr2GdRuO6 and mechanism of t he new_type reaction of solid state in presence of water vapor in detail. In add ition, the effects of SrRuO3 impurity phase on the electric propertie s of the product Ru Sr2(Gd,Ce)2Cu2O10 is also discussed. It suggests that the water vapor for the new_type solid_state reaction is not beneficial to the tran sformation of SrRuO3 to Sr2GdRuO6, and it is to suppress the formation of SrRuO3 due to the formation of RuO2·nH2O. Thus the amount of SrRuO3 impurity phase in Ru_1222 phase is controlled in the reaction of solid state. I t seems that the presence of a small amount of SrRuO3 impurity phase is favourable for making the Ru_1222 phase superconductive.

Abstract +
Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is very surface sensitive and often used for the analysis and monitoring of thin film growth in ultrahigh vacuum deposition system (for instance, Molecular Beam Epitasis). In order to in-situ monitor the growth of oxide thin films at high oxygen pressure up to 50Pa, a high-pressure RHEED designed and fabricated by our group was used for first time in our pulsed laser deposition system (PLD). Using the PLD system the Nb-doped SrTiO3 (STNO) and Y1Ba2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films have been epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrates. T he RHEED patterns of the STNO and YBCO films and the oscillation of the intensity of the pattern have been measured by the high-pressure RHEED during deposition. In addition,the surface morpholoyg of the films and the dynamic analysis of film growth process were discussed.

Abstract +
The thermodynamical properties of quantum Heisenberg films are studied in variat ional cumulant expansion. The spontaneous magnetization,internal energy and spe cific heat are calculated to the third order. For a thicknesses below a critical value, the magnetization decreases rapidly as the number of atomic layers is de creased. The internal energy increases with decreasing number of atomic layers at any given temperature, and the specific heat increases below the critical tem perature and decreases beyond the critical temperature with decreasing number o f atomic layers.

The structure and Curie temperature of Y2(Fe1-x-y,Coy ,Crx)17 c ompounds have been investigated by means of x_ray diffraction and magnetization measurement. The Y2(Fe1-x-y,Coy,Crx) 17 compounds have a hexago nal Th2Ni17_type structure. With increasing x, the unit_ce ll volumes of Y2Fe17-xCrx and Y2CoFe16-xCrx compounds have a small decreas e initially, followed by a greater decrease. It is proved that the magnetic inte raction of Fe atoms at 4f sites of Y2Fe17 compound is anti ferromagnetic by studying the variation of Curie temperature of Y2(Fe1-x-y,Coy,Crx )17 compounds. The result also shows that a few Co and Cr atoms subst ituti ng for Fe atoms can enhance Curie temperature of Y2(Fe1-x-y,Coy,Crx)17 obviously.

Abstract +
Co/Pd1-xMnx multilayers with Mn concentration x=0 to 20.8 % have been sp uttered on a glass substrate with 40 nm thick Pd or PdMn buffer. With the combin ation of small_ and large_angle x_ray analyes, the crystal structure of the samp les were investigated. Hysteresis loop and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PM A) were measured by means of an alternating_gradient magnetometer and magnetic t orque. Domain structure was observed by magnetic force microscopy. Saturation ma gnetization, PMA and the Kerr rotation spectrum of the samples were investigated . It is shown that the change of Kerr rotation with the increase of Mn concentr ation in Pd could be ascribed to the variation of diagonal and off_diagonal elem ents of the dielectric tensor.

Abstract +
We have carried out an experimental study based upon the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) on the anisotropy of alloy ribbons of (Fe1-xCox)84Zr3.5Nb3.5B8Cu1(x=0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8). The easy axes of the samples are in the lateral direction of the ribbons, While the single-axis anisotropy c onstant K′ of the samples having the same width decreases as the amount of Co i ncreases. The value of K′ lies between 4.67×10-5J/m4(x=0 .0) and 2.54× 10-5J/m4(x=0.8). Since the imaginary part χ″ of the alte rnating curren t magnetic susceptibility changes nonlinearly with the magnetic field H, there is a low field (0—12 mT) non_resonance signal having a comparable strength wit h that of the ferromagnetic resonance signal. It is found through the study on t he magnetic process of the alloy ribbon of Fe84Zr3.5Nb3.5B8C u1 that dχ″/dH=0 in the regions of the reversible (0—12 mT) and saturated (9.0 mT—12 mT) magnetization that χ″(H) is related to the n_th power of H, i .e., Hn(n≥3) when the domain wall motion is nonreversible; and χ″ is relate d to H2 during the domain rotation (Rayleigh region, dχ″dH is a con stant). S pecifically, it is found that the χ″(H) proportional to H2 and tha t proportional to Hn(n≥3) appear alternatively in three sections, correspon ding to the disappearance of different domains.

Lanthanum_doped intergrowth ferroelectrics: (Bi,La)4Ti3O 12-Sr(Bi,La)4Ti4O15 (SrBi8-xLaxTi7O27) (x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50) ceramic samples have been prepared by solid_state reaction m ethod. Their structure was analyzed by x_ray diffraction, and their dielectricit y and ferroelectricity were measured. It is found that La doping does not change the crystal structure of Bi4Ti3O12-SrBi4Ti4O15. The coerciv e field (EC) of SrBi8-xLaxTi7O2 7 increases slightly and the remnant polarization (2Pr) increases at first, then decreases with th e increas e of La content. The 2Pr reaches a maximum value of 25.6 μC·cm-2, whe n x is 0.50. The 2Pr increases nearly 60%, but the EC incr eases only about 10%, compared with those of SrBi8Ti7O27. Their temperatures of phase t ransition (TC) decrease with La doping. The TC of SrBi7.5La0.50Ti7O27 is 556 ℃ and shows good thermal stability. As x becomes 1.50, the SrBi7.5La0.50Ti7O27 exhibits a characteristic of relaxor ferroelectrics.

Abstract +
We have studied the growth and optical properties of AlInGaN alloys in this arti cle. By the measurement of three samples, we found that the incorporation of In decreases with the increase of temperature, while there is nearly no change for the incorporation of Al. The sample grown at the lowest temperature had the best material and optical properties, which owes to the high In component, because t he In component can reduce defects and improve the material quality. We also use d the time_resolved photoluminescence(PL) to study the mechanism of recombinatio n of carriers, and found that the time dependence of PL intensity was not in exp onential decay, but in stretched_exponential decay. Through the study of the cha racter of this decay, we come to the conclusion that the emission comes from the recombination of localized excitons. Once more, this localization exhibites the character of quantum dots, and the stretched_exponential decay results from the hopping of carriers between different localized states. In addition, we have u sed the relation of emission energy dependence of carrier's lifetime and the cha racter of radiative recombination and non_radiative combination to confirm our c onclusion.

Abstract +
The broadband yellow luminescence(BYL) of undoped GaN film is fitted optimally by the linear superposition of multiple Gaussian functions by using nonlinear optimization technique. It is found that the BYL may be divided into the three Gauss_type spectra. It shows for the first time that the BYL originates from the combination of three independent radiative transitions. The energy levels of the initial states of the three independent transitions are measured directly in experiment by means of a novel absorption_normalized photoluminescent excitation spectroscopy. It is found that the three independent transitions have the same initial state but different final states. The origins of the initial and final states are assigned reasonably.

Abstract +
The influence of electromagnetic field with a low frequency on the microstructure and solute solubility of 7075 alloy produced by CREM process have been investigated. Evolution of the liquidus and solidus as well as the solidification interval are also measured. Meanwhile, the flow pattern and temperature field before and after the application of electromagnetic field is also given by numerical simulation. The forced solution mechanism of alloying agents of 7075 alloy under the effects of electromagnetic field is explained from such factors as solute equilibrium coefficient of distribution, solidification interval, flow pattern and temperature field in sump and microstructure.
