Polaron effects in cylindrical GaAs/Al_xGa_(1-x)As core-shell nanowires

By the fractal dimension method, the polaron properties in cylindrical GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs core-shell nanowire are explored. In this study, the polaron effects in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs core-shell nanowire at different values of shell width and aluminum concentration are discussed. The polaron binding energy, polaron mass shift and fractal dimension parameter are numerically worked out each as a function of core radius. The calculation results show that the binding energy and mass shift of the polaron first increase and then decrease as the core radius increases, forming their corresponding maximum values for different aluminum concentrations at a given shell width. Polaron problems in the cylindrical GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs core-shell nanowire are solved simply by using the fractal dimension method to avoid complex and lengthy calculations.

Three-dimension micro magnetic detector based on GMI effect

The giant magneto-impedance（GMI）effect of amorphous wire was analyzed theoretically.The amorphous wire had strong GMI effect in the stimulation of sharp pulse of 680kHz and18 mV.A pulse generator was designed to provide high frequency pulse to a magnetic impedance（MI）element.The induced voltage on the pickup coil wound on the amorphous wire was sampled and held with a detect circuit using analog switch.A stable magnetic sensor was constructed.A three-dimension micro magnetic field detector was designed with a central controller MSP430F449.High stability and sensitivity were obtained in the MI sensor with the detect circuit.Experiment results showed that the resolution of the detector was 1nT in the full scale of±2 Oe and the detector worked stably from the room temperature to about 80℃.A small ferromagnetic target was detected by the three-dimension detector in laboratory environment without magnetic shielding.The target moving direction was ascertained with the wave shape of axis parallel in that direction.

Chaos and Combination Synchronization of a New Fractional-order System with Two Stable Node-foci

A new fractional-order Lorenz-like system with two stable node-foci has been thoroughly studied in this paper.Some sufficient conditions for the local stability of equilibria considering both commensurate and incommensurate cases are given. In addition, with the effective dimension less than three,the minimum effective dimension of the system is approximated as 2.8485 and is verified numerically. It should be affirmed that the linear differential equation in fractional-order Lorenzlike system appears to be less sensitive to the damping, represented by a fractional derivative, than the two other nonlinear equations. Furthermore, combination synchronization of this system is analyzed with the help of nonlinear feedback control method. Theoretical results are verified by performing numerical simulations.

On modeling the digital gate delay under process variation

To achieve a characterization method for the gate delay library used in block based statistical static timing analysis with neither unacceptably poor accuracy nor forbiddingly high cost,we found that general-purpose gate delay models are useful as intermediaries between the circuit simulation data and the gate delay models in required forms.In this work,two gate delay models for process variation considering different driving and loading conditions are proposed.From the testing results,these two models,especially the one that combines effective dimension reduction（EDR） from statistics society with comprehensive gate delay models,offer good accuracy with low characterization cost,and they are thus competent for use in statistical timing analysis（SSTA）.In addition, these two models have their own value in other SSTA techniques.
