With the assistantce of a strong classical field the cavity is only virtually excited and no quantum information will be transferred from the atoms to the cavity during the preparation for a four-atom entangled cluster state, and thus the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. Assuming that deviation of laser intensity is 0.01 and that of simultaneity for the interaction is 0.01, it shows that the fidelity of the resulting four-atom entangled cluster state is about 0.9886. The scheme can also be used to generate a four-ion entangled cluster state in a hot trapped-ion system. Assuming that deviation of laser intensity is 0.01, it shows that the fidelity of the resulting four-ion entangled cluster state is about 0.9990. Experimental feasibility for achieving this scheme is also discussed.展开更多

Multiply charged ions of S^q+ (q = 2 6) and C^q+ (q = 2-4) with kinetic energy of hundreds of electron volts have been observed, and there are strong experimental evidences indicating that those multicharged ions originate from the ionization of CS2 neat clusters in the beam. An electron reeolliding ionization model is proposed to explain the appearance of those multiply charged atomic ions under such low laser intensities.展开更多

S^6+ is the dominant multicharged species at 1064 nm, while S^4+, S^3+ and S^2+ ions are the main multi-charged species at 532 nm. A three-step model (i.e., multiphoton ionization triggering, inverse bremsstrahlung heating, electron collision ionizing) is proposed to explain the generation of these multi-charged ions at the laser intensity stated above. The high ionization level of the clusters and the increasing charge state of the ion products with increasing laser wavelength are supposed mainly due to the rate-limiting step, i.e., electron heating by absorption energy from the laser field via inverse bremsstrahlung, which is proportional to λ2,λA being the laser wavelength.展开更多

Many low energy structures of GaTAs7 cluster are found. It confirms that the ground state structure of neutral GaTAs7 cluster is a pentagonal prism with four face atoms like a basket structure, as reported by previous works. The ground state structures of positive Ga7As7 cluster ions are different from that of the neutral cluster. These investigations suggest that Ga atoms occupy the capping positions more easily than As atoms. Mulliken population analyses also show that Ga atoms can lose or obtain charge more easily than As atoms. It finds that the neutral GaTAs7 cluster can become more stable by gaining one or two additional electrons but further more electrons would cause the decrease of binding energy. The ionisation energy increases with the increase of the number of the removed electrons. These calculated results indicate that the net magnetic moment of the neutral GaTAs7 cluster is zero because all electrons axe paired together in their respective moleculax orbits. But for the ionic GaTAs7 cluster with odd number of electrons, the net magnetic moment is 1.0 μB due to an unpaired electron.展开更多

Reactions of magnesium plasma with methanol clusters were studied by using this method. A specially designed reaction cell was used as a fast flow reactor operated under thermal conditions, and the reaction products were measured with a time-of-flight(TOF) mass spectrometer. Surprisingly, several series of cluster ions with complex sizes and intensity distributions were obtained when the laser ablating was applied to different parts of the molecular beam. In the front part of the molecular beam, strong Mg^+ (CH3OH)n( n = 0-5) and weak H^+ (CH3OH)n( n = 0-5 ) cluster ions were observed with relatively small cluster sizes ; in the middle part of the molecular beam, the main cluster ions were H^+ ( CH3OH)n ( n = 6-17 ) and H^+( H2O) 2 ( CH3OH)n( n = 6-17 ) with a relatively large cluster size and a weak intensity; in the back part of the molecular beam, two new series of cluster ions, MgO^+ ( H2O) ( CH3 OH)n( n = 6-10 ) and MgOCH3^+ ( CH3OH)n( n = 6-10), were obtained and accompanied by weak H^+(CH3OH)n(n = 4-7) and H^+( H2O)2 (CH3OH)n( n = 3-6). The formation mechanisms and speed characteristics of the cluster ions are discussed in this article.展开更多

The induced spatial potential by the incident clusters is described by the dielectric response formalism, in which the Mermin-type dielectric function is adopted to provide a realistic evaluation of the electronic properties of the oxides. The charge distribution of individual ions is derived by using the Brandt-Kitagawa effective charge model, also under the consideration of the asymmetric influence from the wake potential. The stopping power of the clusters and the Coulomb explosion processes are derived by solving the motion equation of the individual ions, when taking into account the multiple scattering effect simulated by using the Monte Carlo method. It is found that the dynamical interaction potential between ions leads to a spatial asymmetry to the cluster structure and the charge distribution for high velocity clusters, and will not be in effect as the incident velocities decrease.展开更多

Raman spectroscopy reveals IG/I2 Dvalues varying from 1.55 to 2.38 depending on energy and dose of the cluster ions, indicating formation of multilayer graphene. The measurements show that the samples with more graphene layers have fewer defects. This is interpreted by graphene growth seeded by the first layers formed via outward diffusion of C from the Cu foil, though nonlinear damage and smoothing effects also play a role. Cluster ion implantation overcomes the solubility limit of carbon in Cu, providing a technique for multilayer graphene synthesis.展开更多

The ozone molecules as well as the bromine ions do not leave the cluster during the calculation of 25 ps. The ability of the cluster containing molecular oxygen to absorb the infrared (IR) radiation is reduced in the frequency range of 0≤ w ≤ 3500 cm-1 when the number of the bromine ions in the cluster grows. The intensity of the Raman spectrum is not changed significantly when the Brions are added to the ozone- containing system. The power of the emitted IR radiation is increased when the number of bromine ions grows in the oxygen-containing system. The data obtained in this study on the IR and the Raman spectra of the water clusters that contain ozone, oxygen, and Br- can be used to develop an investigation of the mechanisms of ozone depletion.展开更多

In our previous work (Krasnov I V and Kamenshchikov L P 2014 Opt. Comm. 312 192) this new all-optical method of obtaining and confining the Coulomb clusters was demonstrated by numerical simulations for special values of the optical superlattice parameters and in the case of Yb ions. In the present paper the conditions are explicitly formulated, under which the long-lived two-ion cluster in the superlattice cell is formed. The peculiarity of these conditions is the renormalization of the ion-ion Coulomb interaction. Notably, the renormalized Coulomb force is determined by the effective charge which depends on the light field parameters and can strongly differ from the "bare" ion charge. This result can be accounted for by the combined manifestation of the quantum fluctuations of optical forces, nonlinear dependence of these forces on the velocity, and non-Maxwellian (Tsallis type) velocity distribution of the ions in the optical superlattice. Explicit analytical formulas are also obtained for the parameters of the optical two-ion cluster.展开更多

Energy absorption by Ar and Xe clusters is measured and it can be as high as 90%. Very energetic ions produced in the laser interaction with a dense cluster jet are detected by time-of-flight spectrometry and the maximum ion energy of Xe is up to 1.3 MeV.

The average ion energies also show a strong directionality and the average ion energy in the direction parallel to the laser polarization vector is 40% higher than that perpendicular to it.

文摘This paper proposes a simple scheme to generate a four-atom entangled cluster state in cavity quantum electrodynamics. With the assistantce of a strong classical field the cavity is only virtually excited and no quantum information will be transferred from the atoms to the cavity during the preparation for a four-atom entangled cluster state, and thus the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. Assuming that deviation of laser intensity is 0.01 and that of simultaneity for the interaction is 0.01, it shows that the fidelity of the resulting four-atom entangled cluster state is about 0.9886. The scheme can also be used to generate a four-ion entangled cluster state in a hot trapped-ion system. Assuming that deviation of laser intensity is 0.01, it shows that the fidelity of the resulting four-ion entangled cluster state is about 0.9990. Experimental feasibility for achieving this scheme is also discussed.

The results show that with theincrease of the cluster size the structures of the cluster ions change from a single-chain to a double-chain, then to a planar-net, and linking up to a net at Nb_3. Thenegative cluster ions tend to form a divergent configuration due to the extra chargeson it.

文摘MTBPyP (meso-tetrakis(4-N-benzylpyridyl)porphyrin, M=H-2, Zn) bearing positive charge has been shown to associate with SiW12O404- in water solution. The spectral evolution and Job's plots analyses reveal that the relatively stable aggregates contain equal numbers of MTBPyP4(+) and SiW12O404-.
