Dynamic Ni gettered by PSG from S-MIC poly-Si and its TFTs

A dynamic phosphor-silicate glass (PSG) gettering method is proposed in which the processes of the gettering of Ni by PSG and the crystallizing of α-Si into poly-Si by Ni take place simultaneously. The effects of PSG gettering process on the performances of solution-based metal induced crystallized (S-MIC) poly-Si materials and their thin film transistors (TFTs) are discussed. The crystallization rate is much reduced due to the fact that the Ni as a medium source of crystallization is extracted by the PSG during crystallization at the same time. The boundary between two neighbouring grains in S-MIC poly-Si with PSG looks blurrier than without PSG. Compared with the TFTs made from S-MIC poly-Si without PSG gettering, the TFTs made with PSG gettering has a reduced gate induced leakage current.
A steered molecular dynamics study on the elastic behaviour of knotted polymer chains

In this paper the influence of a knot on the structure of a polymethylene (PM) strand in the tensile process is investigated by using the steered molecular dynamics (SMD) method. The gradual increasing of end-to-end distance, R, results in a tighter knot and a more stretched contour. That the break in a knotted rope almost invariably occurs at a point just outside the 'entrance' to the knot, which has been shown in a good many experiments, is further theoretically verified in this paper through the calculation of some structural and thermodynamic parameters. Moreover, it is found that the analyses on bond length, torsion angle and strain energy can facilitate to the study of the localization and the size of a knot in the tensile process. The symmetries of torsion angles, bond lengths and bond angles in the knot result in the whole symmetry of the knot in microstructure, thereby adapting itself to the strain applied. Additionally, the statistical property of the force-dependent average knot size illuminates in detail the change in size of a knot with force f, and therefore the minimum size of the knot in the restriction of the potentials considered in this work for a PM chain is deduced. At the same time, the difference in response to uniaxial strain, between a knotted PM strand and an unknotted one is also investigated. The force-extension profile is easily obtained from the simulation. As expected, for a given f, the knotted chain has an R significantly smaller than that of an unknotted polymer. However, the scaled difference becomes less pronounced for larger values of N, and the results for longer chains approach those of the unknotted chains.
A study on Al_2O_3 passivation in GaN MOS-HEMT by pulsed stress

This paper studies systematically the drain current collapse in AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) by applying pulsed stress to the device. Low-temperature layer of Al_2O_3 ultrathin film used as both gate dielectric and surface passivation layer was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). For HEMT, gate turn-on pulses induced large current collapse. However, for MOS-HEMT, no significant current collapse was found in the gate turn-on pulsing mode with different pulse widths, indicating the good passivation effect of ALD Al_2O_3. A small increase in I_(d) in the drain pulsing mode is due to the relieving of self-heating effect. The comparison of synchronously dynamic pulsed I_(d) - V_(ds) characteristics of HEMT and MOS-HEMT further demonstrated the good passivation effect of ALD A1_2O_3.
Comparison of the mechanism of gap formation for tri- and bi-component phononic crystal

Using an exact Mie scattering solution, this paper investigates the mode conversions during the Mie scattering of a single bi- or one-component sphere in unbounded epoxy. Then the formation mechanism of the first complete gap in the corresponding tri- or bi-component phononic crystal is investigated by the multiple-scattering method. It is shown that the heavy density of the scatterer plays an essential role in the Mie resonance and the formation of the gaps for both types of the phononic crystals. For the tri-component phononic crystal, the gap is mainly induced by the Mie resonance of the single scatterer. For the bi-component phononic crystal, the transverse wave (by mode-conversion during the Mie scattering under a longitudinal wave incidence) is modulated by the periodicity and governed by the Bloch theory, which induces the gap cooperatively.
A possible experimental observable for the determination of neutron skin thickness

The dependence between neutron skin thickness and neutron abrasion cross section (σ_(nabr) ) for neutron-rich nuclei is investigated within the framework of the statistical abrasion ablation model. Assuming that the density distributions for proton and neutron are of Fermi-type, and adjusting the diffuseness parameter of neutron density distribution in the droplet model, we find out the good linear correlation between the neutron skin thickness and the abrasion cross section σ_(nabr)  for neutron-rich nuclei. The uncertainty of neutron skin thickness determined from σ_(nabr)  is very small. It is suggested that σ_(nabr)  can be used as a new experimental observable to extract the neutron skin thickness for neutron-rich nucleus. The scaling behaviours between neutron skin thickness and σ_(nabr) , separately, for isotopes of ~(26–35)Na, ~(44–56)Ar, ~(48–60)Ca, ~(67–78)Ni are also investigated.
Variational denoising method for electronic speckle pattern interferometry

Traditional speckle fringe patterns by electronic speckle pattern interferometry （ESPI） are inherently noisy and of limited visibility, so denoising is the key problem in ESPI. We present the variational denoising method for ESPI. This method transforms the image denosing to minimizing an appropriate penalized energy function and solving a partial differential equation. We test the proposed method on computer- simulated and experimental speckle correlation fringes, respectively. The results show that this technique is capable of significantly improving the quality of fringe patterns. It works well as a pre-processing for the fringe patterns by ESPI.
Study on hydrogen sulfide  790-nm laser diode plasma passivation of cavity surface

In order to improve the optical properties of the Ⅲ-Ⅴ laser diodes （LDs） by means of H_2S plasma passivation technology, H_2S plasma passivation treatment is performed on the GaAs（110） surface. The optimum passivation conditions obtained are 60-W radio frequency （RF） power and 20-min duration. So the laser cavity surfaces are treated under the optimum passivation conditions. Consequently, compared with unpassivated lasers with only AR/HR-eoatings, the catastrophic optical damage （COD） threshold value of the passivated lasers by H_2S plasma treatment is increased by 33%, which is almost the same as that of （NH4）2S_x treatment. And the life-test experiment has demonstrated that this passivation method is more stable than （NH_4）_2S_x solution wet-passivated treatment.
Soliton squeezing generated in an all-fiber configuration

We experimentally demonstrate amplitude squeezed soliton utilizing intensity-dependent self-phase modulation in an asymmetric Sagnac interferometer. The system, whose components are connected via ferrule connector/physical connection （FC/PC） fiber connectors, constitutes all-fiber configuration to generate squeezed soliton. Soliton amplitude reduction measured by homodyne detection is near 4.0 dB below the shot-noise level. Optimal squeezing fields in both simple and compact all-fiber configuration are obtained.
High power CW and  diode-side-pumped Q-switched operation of a Nd：YAG 1319-nm laser

We demonstrated the highly efficient continuous wave （CW） and Q-switched infrared laser from a diode- side-pumped Nd：YAG crystal. A CW output as high as 66 W at 1319 nm was achieved under the pump power of 460 W, corresponding to a coversion efficiency of 14.3%. A maximum average power of 8.9 W of TEM00 mode was obtained in Q-switched operation at the repetition rate of 8 kHz. The performance of the laser considering the thermal lens effect induced by pump power was also analyzed.
Transmission properties of one-dimensional photonic  crystals containing double-negative and single-negative materials

The transmission properties of one-dimensional photonic crystals containing double-negative and single-negative materials are studied theoretically. A special kind of photonic band gap is found in this structure. This gap is invariant with scaling and insensitive to thickness fluctuation. But when changing the ratio of the thickness of two media, the width of the gap could be enlarged. The defect modes are analyzed by inducing a linear defect layer in the structure. It is found that the number of defect modes will increase when the thickness of the defect layer becomes larger.
Natural Compound Curcumin Corrects the Gating  Defect of G551DMutant Cystic Fibrosis  Transmembrane Conductance Regulator

In the present study, we identified the natural compound curcumin to be an effective G551D-CFTR activator by cell-based fluorescent assay and electrophysiological measurement. We demonstrated that curcumin can restore the impaired chloride conductance of G551D mutant CFTR. The activity is rapid, reversible, and cAMP-dependent. Our study identified a new natural lead compound for the pharmacological therapy of cystic fibrosis caused by G551D mutation of CFTR.
Synthesis, DNA-binding, and Photocleavage of 2,3-Di-2-pyridylquinoxaline-silver（I） Complex

A new dinuclear complex, [Ag（L）（CH_3CN）]_2（ClO_4）_2·2H_2O（L=2,3-di-2-pyridylquinoxaline）, was prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA（CT-DNA） was investigated by absorption, fluorescence spectroscopies, and viscosity measurement. The results suggested that the complex was bound to DNA via an intercalative mode. The intrinsic binding constant value K_b was found to be approximately 1.48×10~3 L·mol~(-1). Moreover, the Ag（I） complex could cleave the plasmid pUC19 DNA from the supercoiled Form Ⅰto the nicked FormⅡ under irradiation at 365 nm.
Magnetization reversal of Fe ultrathin film on Cu(100)

The magnetization reversal of Fe/Cu(100) ultrathin films grown at room temperature is investigated by using an in situ magneto-optical Kerr effect polarimeter with a magnet that can rotate in a plane of incidence. There occur spin reorientation transitions from out-of-plane to in-plane magnetizations in 8 and 12 monolayers (ML) thick iron films. The coercive fields are observed to be proportional to the reciprocal of the cosine with respect to the easy axis, suggesting that the domain-wall displacement plays a main role in the magnetization reversal process.
Study on holographic grating diffraction for Laguerre–Gaussian beam generation

Laguerre–Gaussian beams, as a special model with spiral phase structure, have been intensively investigated. Holographic grating method is a convenient method of generating Laguerre–Gaussian beams and measuring their orbital angular momenta. But due to some inevitable adverse factors such as lateral displacement, angular deflection and elliptical incident profile of incident beam, the practical effectiveness should be reevaluated. This paper is devoted to the study on the influences of the abovementioned three adverse factors on the holographic grating method. The characteristics of the mode decomposition of diffractive order and the relative powers of the orbital angular momentum eigen-states are also given.
An ergodic algorithm for long-term coverage of elliptical orbits

This paper deals with the coverage analysis problem of elliptical orbits. An algorithm based on ergodic theory, for long-term coverage of elliptical orbits, is proposed. The differential form of the invariant measure is constructed via the perturbation on mean orbital elements resulted from the J2 term of non-spherical shape of the earth. A rigorous proof for this is then given. Different from the case of circular orbits, here the flow and its space of the dynamical system are defined on a physical space, and the real-value function is defined as the characteristic function on station mask. Therefore, the long-term coverage is reduced to a double integral via Birkhoff–Khinchin theorem. The numerical implementation indicates that the ergodic algorithm developed is available for a wide range of eccentricities.
Efficient scheme of quantum SWAP gate and multi-atom cluster state via cavity QED

In this paper, we propose a physical scheme to realize quantum SWAP gate by using a large-detuned single-mode cavity field and two identical Rydberg atoms. It is shown that the scheme can also be used to create multi-atom cluster state. During the interaction between atom and cavity, the cavity is only virtually excited and thus the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. With the help of our scheme it is very simple to prepare the N-atom cluster state with perfect fidelity and probability. The practical feasibility of this method is also discussed.
Raman Spectroscopic Studies of Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions on 1-Dodecene

Raman spectroscopic features of 1-dodecene are studied in a moissanite anvil cell up to 3.0 GPa at 21°C. Our data indicate that 1-dodecene is chemically stable under the experimental condition because no new Raman peaks can be observed. However, two significant discontinuities in the plots of Raman shift versus pressure indicate two phase transitions of 1-dodecene. One is liquid-solid transition at pressure of about 500 MPa, the other is solid–solid phase transition at pressure from 1300 to 1550 MPa. The latter is considered to be related to the orientational change of the plane structure of ethylene. A rudimentary phase diagrams for 1-dodecene, n-pentane, n-hexane are proposed based on the results and previous data.
Effects of Contact Atomic Structure on Electronic Transport in Molecular Junction

Based on nonequilibrium Green's function and first-principles calculations, we investigate the change in molecular conductance caused by different adsorption sites with the presence of additional Au atom around the metal-molecule contact in the system that benzene sandwiched between two Au(111) leads. The motivation is the variable situations that may arise in break junction experiments. Numerical results show that the enhancement of conductance induced by the presence of additional Au is dependent on the adsorption sites of anchoring atom. When molecule is located on top site with the presence of additional Au atoms, it can increase molecular conductance remarkably and present negative differential resistance under applied bias which cannot be found in bridge and hollow sites. Furthermore, the effects of different distance between additional Au and sulfur atoms in these three adsorption sites are also discussed.
Photon-Assisted Electron Transport for a Λ-shaped Carbon Nanotube Junction

We theoretically study the electron transport properties for two coupled single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots connected to metallic electrodes under the irradiation of an external electromagnetic field at low temperatures. Using the standard nonequilibrium Green's function techniques, we examine the time-averaged transmission coefficient and linear conductance. It is shown that by some numerical examples, the photon-assisted inter-dot coupling causes Fano resonance and the conductance of the system is sensitive to the external field parameters. The transport dependence on the external field parameters may be used to detect the high-frequency microwave irradiation.
Tunnelling Effect of Two Horizons from a Gibbons–Maeda Black Hole

We study the thermal characters of the inner horizon of a Gibbons–Maeda black hole. In order to satisfy the Nernst theorem of the third law, the entropy of the black hole with two horizons must depend not only on the area of the outer horizon but also on the area of the inner horizon. Then the temperature of the inner horizon is calculated. Lastly, the tunnelling effect including the inner horizon of a Gibbons–Maeda black hole is investigated. We also calculate the tunnelling rate of the outer horizon Γ_+ and the inner horizon Γ_-. The total tunnelling rate Γ should be the product of the rates of the outer and inner horizon, Γ = Γ_+ · Γ_-. It is found that the total tunnelling rate is in agreement with the Parikh's standard result, Γ → exp(ΔS_(BH)), and there is no information loss.
Suprathreshold Stochastic Resonance in Mechanoelectrical Transduction of Hair Cells

Haircell, the sound signal sensor in the auditory system, works in an environment full of noise. This noise has been demonstrated before to be a factor beneficial to the transfer of subthreshold weak signal. We further theoretically demonstrate that in suprathreshold signal situation, noise can still be a beneficial factor and enhance the haircell nonlinear transfer of suprathreshold signal. This reveals an additional constructive function of noise in hearing and provides theoretic foundation for relevant applications.
Cooper-Pair Number-Phase Quantization for Inductance Coupling Circuit Including Josephson Junctions

Based on the entangled state representation and a bosonic phase operator formalism, we tackle with Cooper-pair number-phase quantization for the inductance coupling circuit including Josephson junctions, and then investigate how Josephson current equations change due to the presence of the coupling inductance and obtain bosonic operator Faraday formula, as well as the corresponding number-phase uncertainty relation.
Is Brenner's Modification to the Classical Navier–Stokes Equations Able to Describe Sound Propagation in Gases?

We analyse the problem concerning the propagation of sound waves in gases by using the modified hydrodynamic theory proposed recently by Brenner for single-component fluids. The modifications introduced by Brenner are based on his proposal that the translational momentum in fluid motion is not given by the mass flux. Comparison of the sound propagation results derived from Brenner's theory with available experimental data for monatomic gases shows that this modified continuum theory is unable to describe the acoustic measurements not even in the low-frequency limit, a result that from our point of view makes Brenner's proposal questionable.
Surface solitons supported by one-dimensional composite Bessel optical lattices

We address the existence of surface solitons at an interface in a defocusing cubic medium with an imprinted one-dimensional (1D) composite Bessel optical lattice. This setting is composed of two Bessel lattices with different orders and different modulation depths, separated beside both sides of an interface. Stability analysis and numerical propagation simulations prove that solitons supported by the model are dynamically stable in the entire domain of their existence. The order of lattice determines the shape of soliton, and the amplitude of soliton depends on the lattice modulation depth. The experimental realization of the scheme is also proposed. Our results may provide another effective way of controlling the shapes of surface solitons and thus their evolutions by introducing a new freedom degree.
Probabilistic teleportation of multi-particle partially entangled state

Utilizing the generalized measurement described by positive operator-valued measure, this paper comes up with a protocol for teleportation of an unknown multi-particle entangled (GHZ) state with a certain probability. The feature of the present protocol is to weaken requirement for the quantum channel initially shared by sender and receiver. All unitary transformations performed by receiver are summarized into a formula. On the other hand, this paper explicitly constructs the efficient quantum circuits for implementing the proposed teleportation by means of universal quantum logic operations in quantum computation.
Entropy of quantum field in toroidal black hole without brick wall

In this paper the entropy of a toroidal black hole due to a scalar field is investigated by using the DLM scheme. The entropy is renormalized to the standard Bekenstein-Hawking formula with a one-loop correction arising from the higher curvature terms of the gravitational action. For the scalar field, the renormalized Newton constant and two renormalized coupling constants in the toroidal black hole are the same as those in the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole except for other one.
Interaction between angiogenin and fibulin 1: evidence and implication

Angiogenin is an angiogenic factor involved in tumorigenesis. However, the mechanism of angiogenin's action remains elusive. In the present study, we identified fibulin 1, an extracellular matrix and plasma glycoprotein, as an angiogenin-interacting molecule by yeast two-hybrid screening. This interaction was further confirmed by two different approaches. First, fibulin 1 was co-immunoprecipitated with angiogenin by anti-angiogenin monoclonal antibody in vitro, suggesting angiogenin binds with fibulin 1 directly. Then fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis showed that fibulin 1 interacted with angiogenin in COS-7 cells, showing that the binding could occur in a cellular context. As fibulin 1 plays an important role in cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and stabilizes new-forming blood vessel wall, the interaction between fibulin 1 and angiogenin might underline one possible mechanism of angiogenin in angiogenesis and/or tumorigenesis.
Performance of IEEE 802.15.4 Clusters with Power Management and Key Exchange

The IEEE 802.15.4 specification is a recent low data rate wireless personal area network standard. While basic security services are provided for, there is a lack of more advanced techniques which are indispensable in modern personal area network applications. In addition, performance implications of those services are not known. In this paper, we describe a secure data exchange protocol based on the ZigBee specification and built on top of IEEE 802.15.4 link layer. This protocol includes a key exchange mechanism. We assume that all nodes are applying power management technique based on the constant event sensing reliability required by the coordinator. Power management generates random sleep times by every node which in average fairly distributes the sensing load among the nodes. Key exchange is initiated by a cluster coordinator after some given number of sensing packets have been received by the coordinator. We develop and integrate simulation model of the key exchange and power management technique into the cluster's reliable sensing function. We evaluate the impact of security function and its periodicity on cluster performance.
Double Barrier Coverage in Dense Sensor Networks

When a sensor network is deployed to detect objects penetrating a protected region, it is not necessary to have every point in the deployment region covered by a sensor. It is enough if the penetrating objects are detected at some point in their trajectory. If a sensor network guarantees that every penetrating object will be detected by two distinct sensors at the same time somewhere in this area, we say {that the network provides double barrier coverage (DBC). In {this paper, we propose a new planar structure of Sparse Delaunay Triangulation (SparseDT), and prove some elaborate attributes of it. We develop theoretical foundations for double barrier coverage, and propose efficient algorithms with NS2 simulator using which one can activate the necessary sensors to guarantee double barrier coverage while the other sensors go to sleep. The upper and lower bounds of number of active nodes are determined, and we show that high-speed target will be detected efficiently with this configuration.
