Direct Observation of Carrier Transportation Process in InGaAs/GaAs Multiple Quantum Wells Used for Solar Cells and Photodetectors

The resonant excitation is used to generate photo-excited carriers in quantum wells to observe the process of the carriers transportation by comparing the photoluminescence results between quantum wells with and without a p-n junction. It is observed directly in experiment that most of the photo-excited carriers in quantum wells with a p-n junction escape from quantum wells and form photoeurrent rather than relax to the ground state of the quantum wells. The photo absorption coei^cient of multiple quantum wells is also enhanced by a p-n junction. The results pave a novel way for solar cells and photodetectors making use of low-dimensional structure.

Fast Solving the Cauchy Problems of Poisson Equation in an Arbitrary Three-Dimensional Domain

In this paper we propose a novel two-stage method to solve the threedimensional Poisson equation in an arbitrary bounded domain enclosed by a smooth boundary.The solution is decomposed into a particular solution and a homogeneous solution.In the first stage a multiple-scale polynomial method(MSPM)is used to approximate the forcing term and then the formula of Tsai et al.[Tsai,Cheng,and Chen(2009)]is used to obtain the corresponding closed-form solution for each polynomial term.Then in the second stage we use a multiple/scale/direction Trefftz method(MSDTM)to find the solution of Laplace equation,of which the directions are uniformly distributed on a unit circle 1,and the scales are determined a priori by the collocation points on boundary.Two examples of 3D data interpolation,and several numerical examples of direct and inverse Cauchy problems in complex domain confirm the efficiency of the MSPM and the MSDTM.

Multiple directional acoustooptic diffractions

A set of coupled wave equations of acoustooptic diffraction with multiple acoustic waves along different directions is put forward and its solutions are derived. The characteristics of the diffraction efficiency, com -pression, cross modulation, and intermodulation intensities are analyzed theoretically. The theoretical results are supported by experimental measurements through our new multiple directional acoustooptic devices.

Multiple directional enhanced light source through a periodic metal grating structure

In recent years, semiconductor quantum dots （QDs） have been widely used as photon sources in quantum optics due to their special properties, such as high quantum effi- ciency, narrow and tunable emission spectrum, easy manipulation, and so on. The spontaneous emission of QDs also depends on the surrounding environment.

Distributed cooperative guidance for multiple missiles with fixed and switching communication topologies

This study investigates cooperative guidance problems for multiple missiles with fixed and switching directed communication topologies. A two-step guidance strategy is proposed to realize the simultaneous attack. In the first step, a distributed cooperative guidance law is designed using local neighboring information for multiple missiles to achieve consensus on range-to-go and leading angle. The second step begins when the consensus of multiple missiles is realized. During the second step, multiple missiles disconnect from each other and hit the target using the proportional navigation guidance law. First, based on the local neighboring communications, a sufficient condition for multiple missiles to realize simultaneous attack with a fixed communication topology is presented, where the topology is only required to have a directed spanning tree. Then,the results are extended to the case of switching communication topologies. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to validate the theoretical results.

Non-uniformity effects of the inter-foil distance on GEM detector performance

The non-uniformity effect of the inter-foil distance has been studied using a gaseous electron multiplication（GEM） detector with sensitive area of 50mm×50mm. A gradient of the inter-foil distance is introduced by using spacers with different heights at the two ends of the foil gap. While the cluster size and the intrinsic spatial resolution show insignificant dependence on the inter-foil distance, the gain exhibits an approximately linear dependence on the inter-foil distance. From the slope, a quantitative relationship between the change of the inter-foil distance and the change of the gain is derived, which can be used as a method to evaluate the non-uniformity of the foil gap in the application of large-area GEM detectors.
