Zhang Xiang-Wu
2005, 54 (9): 3978-3982. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.3978
Abstract +
Starting from Newtonian kinetic equations of a particle system, the energy of higher order-velocity of the system is introduced; higher-order Lagrange equations, higher-order Nielsen equations and higher-order Appell equations of a holonomic mechanical system are derived, from which we prove that the three kinds of higher-order differential equations of motion of the holonomic system are equivalent to each other. The result indicates that the higher-order differential equations of motion of the holonomic system reveal the relationship between the chan ges of the system's motion state and the rate of change of force at every order, which cannot be obtained by using Newtonian kinetic equations and the tradition al analytical mechanical equations. Therefore, the higher-order differential equ ations of motion of the holonomic system are a complement to the second-order di fferential equations of motion, including Newtonian kinetic equations and the tr aditional Lagrange equations, Nielsen equations and Appell equations.

Yang Yu-Guang, Wen Qiao-Yan, Zhu Fu-Chen
2005, 54 (9): 3995-3999. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.3995
Abstract +
A theoretical scheme for multi-user quantum authentication and key distribution in a network is proposed. Similar to the authentication architecture of the netw ork in classical cryptography, a distributed client/server architecture with the shared Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR) entangled pairs between each user and his t rusted server used for the authentication and key distribution is proposed. Base d on this architecture, any-to-any multi-user quantum authentication and key dis tribution is realized. The trusted server only provides the authentication betwe en users and swaps the entanglement between the particles so as to entangle the particles of the two users who want to communicate secretly. The key generation is performed by the requesting user. Each user in a network only shares Einstein -Podolsky-Rosen entangled pairs with the trusted server and communicates with th e trusted server through the classical channel and quantum channel. Users need n ot share EPR entangled pairs with each other so that the number of EPR pairs in the network is reduced from O(n2) to O(n).

Abstract +
A new chaos control method based on Least-Square Support Vector Machines (LS-SVM) is proposed which has the excellent nonlinearity approximation ability and b etter generalization capability. Many chaotic systems can be composed into a sum of a linear and a nonlinear parts. LS-SVM has been applied in off-line identification of nonlinear part in continuous chaos system, and the identification mode l has been joined in system to compensate nonlinearity. Subsequently a linear st ate feedback controller has been developed to drive chaotic system to desirable points. It is proven by simulations for three representative continuous chaotic systems that the proposed method is effective to control the chaotic system and closed-loop system with state feedback, and the LS-SVM approximator is stable.

Abstract +
To analyze the security of tangent-delay ellipse reflecting cavity-map system (TD-ERCS) from the point view of cryptography, a simple pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) is proposed with parallel TD-ERCS in this paper. Users' keys are n o longer fixed, and can be chosen in the interval [264, 26 72] arbitr arily in the PRNG. By testing the basic statistic characteristics such as equili brium, runs and correlation of the binary pseudo-random sequences (viz. TD-ERCS sequences) being generated from the PRNG, and comparing with m-sequences, the lo gistic sequences, Chebyshev sequences and SCQC sequences, the experimental resul ts show that TD-ERCS sequences have better statistic characteristics.

2005, 54 (9): 4038-4043. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4038
Abstract +
This paper studies how to suppress the abnormal vibration in a dynamic system wi th clearance. The abnormal vibration contains the bifurcations or chaotic motio n due to the change of some parameters of the nonlinear system. This paper prop oses a method to suppress chaotic motion by applying an external periodical for ce to the system. The periodical force is adjusted according to some real-time a lgorism related to an error between real-time states and the states when the sy stem is stable. This method has been applied to a two-degree-freedom impact vibration system. With numerical simulation, the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated.

2005, 54 (9): 4044-4052. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4044
Abstract +
The density profiles of square-well chain fluid confined in two planar walls are calculated using density-functional theory based on the weighted-density appro ximation of Yethiraj. The free energy functional of the system consists of an id eal part and excess part. We obtain the excess part by the equation of state of corresponding uniform system combined with the weighted-density approximation. We adopted respectively the equations of state based on cavity correlation fun ction and the statistically associating fluid theory. The calculated density pro files are compared with the corresponding Monte Carlo simulation data at differe nt chain lengths, temperatures, volume fractions and different attractions of t he wall. For a square-well chain fluid confined in two hard planar walls, result s from both equations of state are in good agreement with that of the Monte Car lo simulations at high temperature and high volume fraction. Both results devia te from the Monte Carlo result at low temperature and low volume fraction. The density profile in hard wall slit pore calculated from the equation of state of SAFT-VR is in better agreement with the available simulation data than that fro m the equation of state developed by Liu et al. We find that the equation of st ate has significant influence on theoretical prediction. For the walls with attr active forces, predictions from both equations of state deviate from the simula tion data. This deviation results from the increasing non-uniformity of the flu ids. Therefore, more suitable weighted-density function is needed to improve the density-functional theory.

2005, 54 (9): 4053-4057. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4053
Abstract +
The electric-field-induced strain in Rh-doped BaTiO3 single crystals increases with increasing ageing time at 80℃. After 27 days' ageing, the strain can reach 1.11% under bipolar field cycling conditions. However, the strain under mo nopolar field cycles is strongly dependent on the drive frequency and reaches as high as 0.95% at frequency of 0.01Hz. The hysteresis loop (P-E curve) of the aged sample is similar to a wasp-waisted hysteresis loop. Ageing can significant ly improve the electro-strain effect in the Rh-doped BaTiO3 crystal a nd make t he BaTiO3 crystal a promising and lead-free material for novel applic ations in ultra-large strain and nonlinear actuators.

2005, 54 (9): 4058-4064. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4058
Abstract +
Present methods using spectral reflected imaging for detection of lint trash suf fer from some fundamental limitation because the trash almost has the same refl ected characteristic as the lint. To effectively detect the trash in lint, a met hod using transmitted imaging technique was proposed and the experimental pheno menon was analyzed in detail. The transmitted imaging model was constructed bas ed on analyzing the trash and lint absorption characteristics. And the impacts o n imaging target by the type and energy of light source as well as thickness an d velocity of lint movement were also discussed. After analyzing the transmitted photo propagation characteristic, a method of capturing non-diffuse photo using high-speed CCD and statistic filtering processing was developed for enhancement of the imaging target. Furthermore, the relation between the exposure time of high-speed CCD and the target distinctness was determined. The result indicated that the method is effective to acquire a distinct target image using the transmitted imaging detection and imaging target enhancement. And the image is consistent with the actual target. This method not only can provide an effective way to detect the white and colorless trash in cotton, but also can be applied to other imaging system such as the infrared and other band spectral imaging. It is believed that this weak target transmitted imaging system is an effective way to detect wcak target.

Abstract +
The principle of measurement of upper atmospheric wind field has been described first by using the technique of 4-face coated pyramid prism (CPP). If the anti-r efraction films is coated by λ/4(λwavelength)stepped optical path difference (OPD), there can be obtained 4 interference intensities for one fringe simultan eously to measure the upper atmospheric wind field. After correlative parameters of CPP technique are calculated, the CPP's vertex angle must be larger than 24 degree and the width of symmetric incident beam to CPP vertex may be less than 8 mm by LF7 prism and MgF2 anti-refraction films, so that it can be use d to dete ct the upper atmospheric wind for 9°×9° interferometer's field of view (FOV) and CCD 4.5°×4.5°. Finally, we made a simulation test for 2-face coated prism , two group of speckle patterns of deflection light and intensities on CCD have been obtained for prism vertex angle 60° and 90°. By copying the two-speckl e patterns to obtain CPP's four ones, it can achieve “four intensities way" for upper atmospheric wind field measurement. The test result is made sure of this way to measure the atmospheric wind. This way has developed the technique of pas sive measurement of wind field.

Abstract +
The preliminary experimental results obtained for the energy spectra of high-power ion beam(HPIB) with a pile of thin films on FLASH Ⅱ accelerator are reported. Code was developed to calculate the theoretical energy-loss of proton and C ion beams transmited through the Mylar films with different thickness. T he apertures of Faraday Cups are covered with Mylar films of different thicknes s, and then the signal attenuations can be recorded with oscilloscope. The energ y spectra of HPIB and the diode voltage are obtained according to the signal al lenuations. The diode voltage measured with a pile of thin films agrees with the voltage measured with a differential ring. And the ion number versus time curv e was given. In addition, the ion energy of HPIB is also measured with Thomson spectrometer and time of flight method and the results agree with those measured with a pile of thin films.

2005, 54 (9): 4079-4083. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4079
Abstract +
Because the central wavelength of terahertz (THz) pulse is long, the spatial resolution of the THz detection is limited to sub-millimeter due to the diffraction effect. We report a new THz microscopy by attaching an electro-optical crystal directly to a thin generation crystal. By focusing tightly the optical pump beam, the detected spatial resolution can reach several microns. In additior this mechanism cacan avoid the loss of intensity and spectrum components. In this letter, the configuration and characteristics of this device are described in details.

2005, 54 (9): 4097-4100. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4097
Abstract +
The production of spin-polarized electrons and the modulation of polarization direction with liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) are discussed. The LCVR ca n play the roles of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and whole-wave plates with special voltages in the optical system. And the advantages of using LCVR instead of Pockels cell an d 1/4λ plate are the insensitivity to the incident photon direction, and the va riability of retardation over a large wavelength range without mechanical moveme nt. The polarization direction of spin-polarized electrons can be modulated easi ly by switching the helicity of the circularly polarized light. In order to dete rmine the photon polarization, the spinning polarimeter is developed. And the re sult is also described.

Abstract +
Geometric structures, electronic states and energies of GanP and GanP2 (n= 1—7) clusters have been studied using the density functional theory. Structural optimization and frequency analysis were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G* level.All ground states of GanP and GanP2 (n=1—7) clusters have been obtained.Our calculations reveal that there exists a transition from planar to spacial structures at n=5 with increasing cluster size. The strong P-P bond is favored over P-Ga in GanP2 (n=1—7) clusters. Among different GanP and GanP2 (n=1—7) clusters, Ga3P,Ga4P, GaP2, Ga2P2 and Ga4P2 are more stable. Their stability tends to reduce with the increase of the number of total atoms.

Huang Xian-Shan, Yang Ya-Ping
2005, 54 (9): 4129-4135. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4129
Abstract +
The dynamical properties and spectrum characteristics of a Λ-type atom with an external field embedded in three-dimensional photonic crystals are investigated . With the help of numerical calculation and theoretical analysis, we find that the populations of the upper and lower levels display quasi-oscillation, and the frequency and amplitude of the oscillation is greatly affected by the intensity of the external-driving field Ω, the detuning δ and the background decay of the upper level γ. Spontaneous emission of the atom is apparently influenced by the relative position of the upper level from the forbidden gap. Furthermore, the properties of the emission field around the atom are analyzed by means of s pontaneous emission spectrum.

Abstract +
We have observed the reduction of group velocity of light via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and measured the dependence of pulse delay on the one-photon detuning in a three-level Λ-type atomic system. The results show that due to the effect of Doppler broadening the light speed reduction is signif icant in a range of ±600MHz one-photon detuning. Under the condition of consid ering the Doppler shift of frequency, the pulse delay as a function of the one-p hoton detuning is numerically calculated. The experimental measurements are in g ood agreement with the theoretical results. These researches provide theoretical and experimental references for controlling the group velocity of light by mean s of one-photon detuning.

And the theoretical results were consistent with the experimental results reported.

Hyperfine structures of the nanocrystallized samples were analyzed by Mssbauer spectra. Experimental result shows that after the CO2 laser irradiated on the amorphous allo y Fe735Cu1Nb3Si135B 9, its hyperfine magnetic field dist ribution transformed from a single peak to double peaks with the change of laser power. When irradiated at a high laser power, it formed a double-peak structure and the peaks moved to a high field position. Nanocrystallization of amorphous Fe7 35Cu1Nb3Si135B9 ir radiated by a higher laser power produces fou r hyperfine structures, i.e. two primary crystal phases with relatively small hy perfine magnetic field and two nanocrystalline phases with a relatively large hy perfine magnetic field. The major crystal phase is the α-Fe(Si) phase of DO3 whose hyperfine magnetic field is comparatively larger (17—25MA/m).

Abstract +
A theoretical model characterizing a recent experiment of dual-channel optical chaotic communication has been presented, and is proved to be reasonable by comparing the numerical simulation with the experimental results. After deducing the transmission function of semiconductor laser by small-signal analysis, how toreasonably select the system parameters in order to realize the effective transmission of signal has been specified. Moreover, the cross talk between two channels has been analyzed quantitatively. For a 250MHz modulation message, the nume rical simulation shows that it can be hidden efficiently during the transmission in the system and decoded easily.

Abstract +
Ion extraction from laser-induced plasma is one of the key problems in atomic vapor laser isotope separation (AVLIS) engineering. In an electrostatic field, the plasma potential is higher than both electrodes due to the plasma shield effect. And sheaths exist on both sides of the electrodes. Using numerical simulation, it has been proven that ions can be extracted by the positive electrode. In conventional ion extraction experiments using an electrostatic field, the ions are only collected at the negative electrode. We focused on the positive electrode as well as the negative collector in our experiments. The Faraday cups, fix ed on both electrodes, were used to collect the extracted ions and avoid the eff ect of power supply. As a result, the positive electrode can also extract ions. The collection ratio of positive and negative collectors decreases, as the appli ed voltage increases.

Abstract +
Acceleration of a pre-accelerated electron by an ultra-short and ultra-intense laser pulse in vacuum has been explored. The deceleration by the descending part of the laser pulse can be neglected when the pre-accelerated electron is accelerated by the ascending part of the pulse. Because the acceleration dist ance is much longer than for a initially stationary electron, the energy gain is much larger. The net energy gain can be up to 01GeV with a laser intensity of 1019W/cm2 and an initial electron energy of 45Me V. Final energy ga in of the electron as a function of its initial condition and laser parameters h as also been discussed.

Abstract +
A low-energy relativistic free electron capture and violently acceleration by a tightly focused ultra-short ultra-intense laser pulse in vacuum is presented in this paper. The results show that the electron is mainly accelerated by the long itudinal ponderomotive force and the energy gain is sensitively dependent on the retarded time, initial energy and the incident angle of electron. On the other hand, the energy gain is not very sensitive to the pulse width when it is larger than 10λ.

Abstract +
It is shown theoretically and by particle-in-cell simulations that the interferi ng fields of the incident and reflected laser pulses can produce deep plasma den sity modulations in underdense pre-plasmas.This occurs within a few tens of lase r cycles if the incident laser pulse is at moderate intensities such as 10 15W/cm2Such density modulations can serve as a Bragg reflector ,which results in phase reflection from underdense plasmas.Because the deep dens ity modulations are just a period of half a wavelength in the plasma,the reflec ted wave reaches the maximum by resonance with a reflectivity up to near 100%.T he phase reflection can also be observed from the plasma with a linear density p rofile,which can significantly reduce the laser absorption by fusion targets.

Abstract +
The dispersion equation of a coaxial arbitrary-shaped-groove slow-wave structure is derived by means of an approximate field-theory analysis,in which the continuous profile of the groove is approximately replaced by a series of recta ngular steps,and the field continuity at the interface of two neighboring step s and the matching conditions at the interface between the groove region and central region are employed.The simulation results by CST MWS are in good agreement with the numerical calculation results of the dispersion equation.We have calculated the dispersion characteristics and the coupling impedance of the slo w-wave structures with some special groove shape.It shows that the dispersion c haracteristic of the triangle-groove structure is the weakest and the coupling i mpedance of it is the least, while the dispersion characteristic of the inverted -trapezoid-groove structure is the strongest and the coupling impedance of it is the largest.

Abstract +
The R(Fe, Mo)12 (R=Nd, Y, Dy) samples have been prepared and measure d by x-ray diffraction at different temperatures. The crystal lattice constant s and degree of the thermal expansion along the different axes are calculated. As a result, we consider that the abnormally thermal expansion of R(Fe, Mo)12 compounds is mainly determined by the Fe-Fe interaction. According to structural parameters of Nd(Fe, Mo)12, the anomaly is caused not on ly by the short Fe-Fe interaction as the previous explanation on other R-Fe inte rmetallic compounds but also by the other strongly positive Fe-Fe interactions. The mechanism of the substitution by Mo affecting the thermal expansion anomal ies is also discussed.

Freezing processes of liquid Cu nanoclusters with atoms of 147,309 and 561 are performed by means of molecular dynamics,which show that the structures of the obtained solid nanoclusters at room temperature are governed by the cooling rate and the clusters' sizes: the smaller clusters and the slower cooling rate bring the icosahedra structures more favorably, and contrarily, for the larger clust ers and the faster cooling rate,the face centered cubic structures will be expe cted in our simulation time. The physical mechanisms of this phenomenon are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract +
Nano-sized graphite patterns were obtained by tailoring graphite sheets using different methods. With focused ion beam etching we are able to produce grooves of minimum width ~ 30 nm. However, at the edges of the grooves there deposit with Ga-C compound which prevents the easy cleavage of the graphite sheets. With electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching techniques we are able to produce graphite patterns of sizes down to 50 nm. Three different types of masks are tested, and the results are compared and discussed.

In this work, amorphous carbon nanowires(ACNWs), formed during ion irradiating m ulti-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), were annealed at a high temperature of 2400 ℃. Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that the body of ACNW s had transformed to a tube-like structure similar to that of the original MWCNT s, but the tip structure had various forms and was quite different from the orig inal MWCNTs. Based on the results, we proposed a conceptual model of phase trans ition mechanism.

Abstract +
The stacking fault in crystals of GaN was studied by high-resolution electron microscope images in combination with image deconvolution. The principle of deconvolution for high-resolution electron microscope images is briefly introduced. It is demonstrated that an image originally does not intuitively reflect the examined crystal structure can be transformed into the structure image. The stacking faults in crystals of GaN were observed with the high-resolution microscope. The image deconvolution was performed for the image, and the atomic configuration in the defect core is seen clearly in the deconvoluted image. Based on this, the type of stacking fault has been determined. Besides, the effectiveness of image deconvolution in studying crystal defects is discussed.

Abstract +
The effects of lattice vibration on the system in which the electron is weakly coupled with bulk longitudinal optical phonons and strongly coupled with interfac e optical phonons in an infinite quantum well were studied by using Tokuda' line ar-combination operator and a modified LLP variational method. The expressions for the effective mass of the polaron in a quantum well QW as functions of the we ll's width and temperature were derived. In particular, the law of the change of the vibration frequency of the polaron changing with well's width and temperatu re are obtained. Numerical results of the effective mass and the vibration frequ ency of the polaron for KI/AgCl/KI QW show that the vibration frequency and the effective mass of the polaron decrease with increasing well's width and temperat ure, but the contribution of the interaction between the electron and the differ ent branches of phonons to the effective mass and the vibration frequency and th e change of their variation with the well's width and temperature are greatly di fferent.

2005, 54 (9): 4300-4308. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4300
Abstract +
The key role of templates in the process of large-scale growth of ordered metastable phase and that of selectivity growth from their isomers with approximately equal free energy have been emphasized. Considering the rational elements in the existing models, the dynamics and thermodynamics theory for the growth process of diamond films have been given: 1) The chemical potential of carbon atoms is higher in the state of hydrocarbon gases than in the solid state. The carbon atoms in hydrocarbon gases may drop down to graphite or diamond surface that has a lower chemical potential. 2) The gas-state carbon atoms may change into the solid state through surface reactions. 3) The effect of surface of the template is a major factor for controlling the way of conversion of the gas-state carbon atoms. The different surfaces (surfaces with different orientations of graphite and diamond) can choose the different structure and energy state of the carbon atoms dropped onto them.4) Therefore, several kinds of different and independent surface reaction processes can occur at different sites of the substrate. These reactions correspond to the growths on different surfaces; 5) The orientation and velocity of these surface reactions are affected by the thermodynamic factors of neighboring surfaces. The direction of interaction determines whether growth or etching occurs for certain crystal surface. Growth of diamond and etching of graphite may be realized in a special range of temperature, of pressu re, of flow ratio of different gases. 6) The critical condition of nucleation wa s determined by the thermodynamic conditions such as local crystal lattice struc ture of the substrate, bonding structure, the gas temperature on the substrate s urface, pressure, the fractional pressure of different kinds of gases, and so on . 7) The plasma system that has energy exchange with the surroundings, and a ser ies of chemical reactions that occur in the gas phase can only provide the requi red non-equilibrium thermodynamic and chemical conditions to keep the growth of certain solid phase surface. The surfaces of diamond and graphite have the chara cter of template, they will dominate the epitaxy pattern of themselves. Heteroge neous substrates have certain local microstructure to play the role of a local t emplate for new phase nucleation. Different local microstructures caused by diff erent substrates, processing method and different chemical conditions will deter mine the orientation character,of the film.

By using Stillinger-Weber potential, we have carried out the constant temperature molecular dynamics simulations of surface structures on Si(001) at different temperatures. Our results show that the dimers rearranged into p(2×1) cell are the primary structure on Si(001) surface. Besides this, trimers and c(2×2) metastable structures as well as two-dangling-bond single atoms are observed on the surface at different temperatures. Up to the surface melting temperature, these metastable structures disappear and the simple p(2×1) structure remains on the surface.

Abstract +
A two-hot-boat chemical vapor deposition system was modified from a thermal evaporation equipment. This system has the advantage of high vacuum, rapid heating rate and temperature separately controlled boats for the source and samples. These are in favor of synthesizing compound semiconducting nano-materials. By the system, we have synthesized high-quality wurtzite single crystal GaN nanowires and nanotip triangle pyramids via an in-situ doping indium surfactant technique on Si and 3C-SiC epilayer/Si substrates. The products were analyzed by x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. The GaN nanotip triangle pyramids, synthesized with this novel method, have potential application in electronic/ photonic devices for field-emission and laser.

Abstract +
Direct wafer bonded InP-GaAs structures are studied by FTIR infrared absorbance spectra and FESEM cross-sectional observations. Experiments show that the non-uniformity of bonding pressure during the fabricating step results in the appearance of a spacer-layer at the InP-GaAs interface. By melting wax and filling it into this spacer-layer, locally unbonded areas can be characterized upon the opt ical absorbance peaks at 3.509 μm. The 3.509 μm absorbance-intensity mapping images the non-uniform distribution of bonding pressure, which was obtained by t wo-dimensionally scanning measurement of infrared spectra of samples. Uniformly bonded InP-GaAs structures with uninterrupted interface are fabricated after imp roving the uniformity of pressure of fixture, which will be prospect of preparin g for large scale wafer bonding structures such as optical micro-cavity structur es.

Abstract +
The thermal stability is improved in a magnetic tunnel junction with a nano-oxide layer induced between the antiferromagnetic and pinned ferromagnetic layers, in which the annealing temperature is increased about 40℃. By using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, it has been found that the interdiffusion of Mn atoms, responsible for the decrease of TMR during the annealing process, is uppressed across such nano-oxide layer.

Abstract +
Numerical method has been used to analyze the opto-thermionic refrigeration proc ess of semiconductor heterostructure. Based on the drift-diffusion model, curren t continuity equation and Poisson equation are employed to calculate the distrib ution of carriers, the radiative recombination rate and the Auger recombination rate of the semiconductor. In addition, we have calculated the effect of the cha nging of barrier height and the doping density on the refrigeration rate. Thus t he optimum conditions of opto-thermionic refrigeration have been obtained based on these results. This work is of great significance for guiding the experiment research in the future.

Abstract +
Using the result of model-solid theory,we have obtained the relationship between bandgap and strain of Si1-xGex alloy on Si(100) subs trate with x<085 . It was shown that the deviation between the bandgap of strained SiGe and relax ed SiGe is proportional to the strain. According to the theoretical result, a no vel method was suggested to determine the strain state of SiGe/Si through measur ing the bandgap. The strain in the SiGe/Si multi-quantum wells was measured using the new method and the results had good agreement with that from XRD measurement.

The unjustifiable or mistake in the previous magnetism theories has been pointed out in this paper. For a N-electron system with Heisenberg exchange integral A 1+A2 (A1>0, A2ex=-2A1ii ·sj-2A2ii·sj,not H ex=-2Aii·s j as in the previous magnetism theories, where A=A1+A 2. The role of the mi nor term in the exchange Hamilton was considered. Based on the principle of supe rposition of state, the eigenstate of the system with Heisenberg exchange integr al A=A1+A2 (A1>0, A2 21+A22(A11〉+A2‖2 〉), and t he energy (relative to exchange interaction) eigenvalue E =-Nz(A1-A2)-2NzA 22A1+A2=-Nz(A2-A1)-2NzA21A1+A2,were attained,wh ere z is t he number of the nearest neighbours electrons, 1〉 means the state of the syste m when the spins of all electrons in the system arrange parallelly (the parallel spins state, for simply),2〉 means the state when the spins of all electrons o r the nearest neighbor electrons in the system arrange antiparallelly (the antip arallel spins state, for simply). When A1 =A2≠0 ,X〉=12( 1〉+2〉), and E=- NzA1, the system is in the spin glass(SG)state,the probabilities o f paralle l and antiparallel arrange for every pair of spins of electron of nearest neighb ours in the system are equal. When A1≠A2,the probabilit ies are not equal, and there coexist the parallel spins state and SG or the antiparallel spins sta te and SG, X〉=1A21+A22[(A1-A2)1〉+A2(1〉+2〉)],orX〉=1A21+A22[(A2-A1 )2〉+A1(1〉+2〉)]. When the parallel spins st ate and SG or the antiparallel spins state and SG coexist, the energy of the sys tem is lower than that when only FM or AFM exists as in previous theory. Weiss f erromagnetic state or Neel anti ferromagnetic state is just a special state when A1=0 or A2=0.

2005, 54 (9): 4359-4364. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4359
Abstract +
The temperature and field dependences of the specific heat of single-crystal NdMnO3 were investigated from 2K to 200K under different fields up to 8 T.Corresponding to the Type-A antiferromagnetic (A-AF) phase transition in the Mn sub-lattice,the specific heat under zero field exhibited a sharp λ-shaped peak at about 85K,which was depressed and broadened and changed smoothly with the increa se of magnetic field.But the entropy change due to the magnetic order is only 26% of the expected value,which might arise from the extension of the magnetic flu ctuation in a larger temperature range.The specific heat curves exhibited a shou lder-shaped Schottky-like anomaly below 20K,whose maximum shifts gradually to higher temperatures with the magnetic field.By considering the contributions to the specific heat at low temperatures,the above phenomena can be interpreted in terms of the model of effective molecular field (Hmf) at Nd 3+ site that causes the splitting of the ground state doublet (GSD) of Nd3+.The specific heat below 20K under different magnetic fields was successfully fitted,through which the meaningful parameters,including the splitting of the GSD of Nd3+,Debye temperature and the A-AF spin wave stiffness coefficient s,as well as their field dependence were obtained.It was found that the ferromagnetic component of the Mn sub-lattice caused by the GdFeO3-type octahedron ro tation could be the origin of the Hmf.

Abstract +
Using the Fourier transformation method,we accurately solved the Gauss Model with long-range interactions on the d-dimensional hyper-cubic lattices and the two-dimensional triangular lattices.The long-range interactions we considered here include power exponential decreasing,exponential decreasing and natural logarithmic decreasing.At the same time the critical behavior of the Gauss Model with long-range interactions decaying as r-α on two-dimensional triangular lattices is studied.The critical points of the system under these circumstances are calculated.According to the results we have obtained,we can easily compare the effect of different types of long-range interactions on the critical behavior of the system.As will be seen,for the existence of long-range interactions,the critical temperature of the system rises to some extent.And the effect of the long-range interaction on the critical temperature depends on its decaying rate.

Abstract +
Fe and FePd nanowires were fabricated by electrodeposition in porous anodic aluminum oxide template. Both Fe and Fe0.95Pd0.05 nanowires have a (110) preferred orientation with a diameter of 60nm . This diameter is suitable f or investigating the behavior of traced Pd in FePd nanowire. With the traced Pd alloying in Fe nanowire, the crystalline anisotropy overpowers the shape anisotr opy, changing the magnetic domain structure and increasing the pinning of domain wall. Thus the Fe0.95Pd0.05 nanowire shows a str ong parallel-to-the-wire anisotropy with improved squareness and coercivity.

Abstract +
The influence of temperature (in the range of 2—390K) on the magnetic moment,and magnetoresistance has been investigated in this paper. It is found that the magnetoelectric properties, particularly the Curie temperature TC, th e metal-insulator transition temperature, Tmi, and the maximum m agnetoresistance TMR, of La0.8Ba0.2MnO 3 are closely related to the valence of Mn in the oxides. La0.8Ba0.2M nO3 synthesize d with 2+ Mn oxides exhibited the lower resistivity, and a Curie temp erature c loser to room temperature (290K) compared with that synthesized with 3+ Mn ox ides. It can be concluded that the magnetoelectric properties of La0.8Ba 0.2MnO3 are dependent on the Mn valence of oxides. This cou ld be attribut ed to the influence of oxygen vacancy concentration variation on the Mn4+ /M n3+ ratio in the resultant compounds during solid sintering react ion, which results from the valence difference of oxide precursors.

2005, 54 (9): 4379-4383. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4379
Abstract +
Temperature dependence of longitudinal and transverse ultrasonic velocities and attenuations of the single-phase polycrystalline LaCoO3 were presente d. A clear softening in the longitudinal ultrasonic velocity accompanied by a sharp peak in attenuation were observed near the spin-state transition temperature(≈90K), which did not appear in the transverse mode measurement. This anomalous ultraso nic behavior further demonstrates that the spin-state transition of Co3+ ions in LaCoO3 near 90K are more likely from a low spin state (LS,t62ge 0g) to an intermediate spin state (IS,t5 2ge1g ) than to a high s pin state (HS,t42ge2g ). A b ig attenuation peak accompanied by a slight softening in velocity was observed near 200K in both longitudinal and tr ansverse modes, which was probably caused by the relaxation of the local distort ions originating from Jahn-Teller effect of the randomly distributed IS state Co 3+ ions.

2005, 54 (9): 4384-4388. doi: 10.7498/aps.54.4384
Abstract +
Variation of the coercivity induced by increasing Cr and Co contents and adding inpurities of Mo and Zr in FeCrCo alloys was investigated using Mssbauer spec tra, fransmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and magnetic measureme nt. A coercivity as high as 76kA/m is obtained, which is one and half times high er than that (40—52kA/m) of the common alloy. Mssbauer spectra shows that the microstructure of the high-coercivity alloy is apparently different from that of the traditional FeCrCo alloy. The alloy is single-phase after solution treat ment, the non-magnetic γ phase, which weakens the magnetic properties, does no t appear. During the thermomagnetic treatment, the atomic distribution is rearra nged, and leads to the formation of the α2 phase, the spinodal struc ture with the two-phase (α1 +α2 ) in the alloy fully forms after step-tempering. It might be beneficial for forming the high coercivity in alloy. Comparied with th e low-coercivity case, more of the α1 phase exist in the spinodal st ructure.

Abstract +
We have studied the magnetic properties, microstructure, and mechanical properti es of a high-coercivity FeCrCo alloy. Based on the experiments, the high-coerciv ity can be obtained by selecting suitable composition and heat treatment process . According to the TEM and XRD results, we drew a conclusion that the main eleme nt and the minor metallic dopants control effectively the conformation of phases . Thermomagnetic treatment induces the separation of the ferromagnetic and param agnetic phases, and a spinodal structure forms that results in magnetic-hardenin g. The large composition contrast between the two phases could improve the coer civity of the FeCrCo alloy obviously

Abstract +
In this paper,the relationship between the mechanical properties and the microstructure of a high-coercivity FeCrCo alloy was studied.Measurements on bending strength and fracture toughness showed that the mechanical properties of the high-coercivity FeCrCo alloy are much lower than the conventional FeCrCo alloy.TEM micrographs showed that the composition contrast between the two phases in the high-coercivity alloy is larger;XRD results indicated that the peak intensities of the high-coercivity alloy is lower and the half-peak-width is larger,which indicated that the spinodal decomposition processes are more successfully in the high-coercivity alloy.The enlargement of the composition contrast between α1 and α2 leads to the increase of crystal mismatch,the st rength of the alloy improved,but the ductility deteriorated,that is the reason why the mechanical properties of the high-coercivity alloy is poor.

Abstract +
Pressure expanding treatment is an effective method for improving the piezoelect ric activity of cellular PP films. In this work, the character of trap-level dis tribution for positively corona charged cellular PP films and the influence of t he pressure expanding treatment on its charge stability and charge transportatio n have been studied by means of thermal pulse technique, surface potential decay measurements, SEM and TSD spectrum analyses, etc. The results point out that th ere are three kinds of traps with different energy values in the range of middl e energy level for the cellular PP films, i.e. most of the deep traps and the shallow traps in the bulk, and most of the traps with middle energy values near the free surface. The pressure expanding treatment changes the state of traps a nd also, to a certain extent, reduces the charge storage stability of the cellul ar PP films, but has not impact on its charge transportation rule, in which the slow retrapping effect is dominant.

Abstract +
(Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3/LaNiO3 he tero-structure films have been prepared on Si(100) substrate by an improved sol-gel technique. The structures and d ielectric properties for the films have been evaluated as a function of crystall ization temperature. It was found that LaNiO3 films show the lowest resistivi ty after annealing at 750 ℃ in flowing O2 for 30 min. C-V and I-V measureme nts revealed that the (Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 films have excellent diele ctric properties. The dielectric constant of the (Ba0.7Sr0 .3)TiO3 film annealed at 750 ℃ is larger than 300 under the measuring conditions of 50 kHz, zero bias voltage and room temperature. The maximum leakage current dens ity of the hetero-structure is about 1.2×10-6 A/cm2 under a bias voltage of 6 V.

Abstract +
Birefringent microstructure fibers are shown to allow efficient gereration of anti-Stokes line emission as a result of four-wave-mixing in higher mode by using unamplified femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser pulses.Intense blue-shifted lines with different central wavelength were generated in the high-delta (i.e.high-air filling in the cladding) microstructure fiber with axis sizes 50 and 46 μm by femtosecond laser pulses with 35-fs in duration,820nm in central wavelength and 4nJ in energy per pulse.The experimental result shows that phase-matched four-wa ve mixing in higher-order modes of microstructure fibers allows unprecedentedly high efficiencies of anti-Stokes frequency conversion to be achieved for subnano joule femtosecond laser pulses.The dependence factor of the four waves mixing in birefringent microstructure fiber is compared and analyzed.Good agreement betwe en the theory and experiment is achieved.

Abstract +
SnO2 nano-crystalline grains with sizes in the range of 4—80 nm ar e systematically investigated using Raman spectroscopy. Besides SnO2 fundam ental-fre quency modes, a few weak Raman modes and a very strong and broad photoluminescen ce peak at about 700 nm can be observed. Our results show that bulk properties o f nano-SnO2 diminish but the defect-, surface-, and size-related fea tures dis play as grain size decreases. A critical size that divides respective predominan ce is determined to be about 20 nm. Bulk spectra with spectroscopic line broaden ing and position shifting, a surface mode and interface mode around 571 cm -1and 351 cm-1, as well as the O-H vibration modes of the water mol ecu les in SnO2 nanograins are characteristics of Raman spectra of nano- SnO2 with grain size below 20 nm. They are related to the microstructure change of the nanograins, i.e. they reflect the change of grain size, surface, and the in teraction between nanograins.

The tellurite glass 70TeO2-20WO3-10ZnO in different Tm3+-doping co ncentration were prepared. According to the absorption spectra,the Judd-Oflet strength parameters were calculated by using Judd-Ofelt theory. The spontaneous-emission probabilities,branch ratios and radiative lifetime of each level of Tm3+ were given.The emission spectra of Tm3+-doping in various concentrations were studied.The effective bandwidth and stimulated emission cross-section at the peak wavelength of the emission band were also investigated. Aft er comparing the spectral properties at various Tm3+ concentra tions, we concluded that the luminescence intensity and effective bandwidth were maximum when the Tm3+-doping concentration ranges from 0.8wt%—1wt%. The Tm3+-doped tellurite glass is an ideal host for optical ampli fier working on S-band.

Abstract +
The influence of annealing temperature on the photo-luminescence (PL) of high co ncentration Er/Yb co-doped Al2O3 films was studied. The relationship betwe en PL spectra and microstructure of the films at various annealing temperatures was revealed by analyzing the dependence of the intensity and the full width at half-maximum of the PL spectra on the annealing temperature. The PL measurement shows that the annealing behavior may be split into three different regimes. Bel ow 750℃, the intensity increases with the increase of annealing temperature wit h a small slope, which corresponds to the amorphous Al2O3 films. Between 800℃ and 900℃, the PL intensity increases considerably, where the microstructure of the films was identified to be composed of γ-Al2O3 grains in nano-meter scale; At the temperature of 1000℃, the intensity of PL spectrum decre ases to a very low level, γ-Al2O3 grains and the segreg ation of Er2O 3 and Yb2O3 phases were observed by using transmis sion electron microscopy . Furthermore, the dependence of PL spectrum shape on the PL intensity of sub-le vel transition was analyzed and discussed by fitting the PL spectra at various t emperatures.

Abstract +
Infrared emissivity of high quality indium tin oxide (ITO) film has been calcula ted based on the infrared radiation theory and thin film optical theory, the the oretical curves and the testing curves basically agree with each other. It is concluded that when the sheet resistance is less than 30Ω, the theoretical val ue of infrared emissivity of ITO films on the infrared wave band of 8μm to 14μ m will be less than 0.1. Therefore, the ITO film of practical sheet resistance less than 10Ω has good infrared stealthy capability. Physical mechanism of low infrared emissivity for ITO film is discussed, and the critical sheet resistance of low infrared emissivity, which conduce to the theoretical study and the ma nufacture of infrared stealthy ITO film, is put forward in this paper.

The separation of characteristic spectral signatures plays an important role in the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) system used for monitoring dissolved organic matter (DOM) in polluted water,which has advantages of high sensitivity,fast detection,remote measurement,etc. In this paper,a method of characteristic spectral signatures separation based on radial basis function networks (RBFN) will be presented. Using this method,we separated the spectral components of laser,Raman and fluorescence of DOM from the LIF spectral. The concentration of DOM in polluted water can be retrieved from the separated spectrums.

Abstract +
We demonstrate that a new class of stable composite soliton exists in a two-dimensional lattice. It can be produced by the evolution of a stationary solution of nonlinear Schrdinger equation with a periodic potential modulation. We emphasize that this new kind of composite soliton is different from the dipole soliton reported before though they seem alike. The components of the soliton exchange energy during the propagations and the total energy of soliton conserves.
