Interface state-based bound states in continuum and below-continuum-resonance modes with high-Q factors in the rotational periodic system

We have introduced a new approach to calculate the orbital angular momentum(OAM)of bound states in continuum(BICs)and below-continuum-resonance(BCR)modes in the rotational periodic system nested inside and outside by transforming the Bloch wave number from the translational periodic system.We extensively classify and study these BICs and BCR modes,which exhibit high-quality(high-Q)factors,in different regions relative to the interface of the system.These BICs and BCR modes with a high-Q factor have been studied in detail based on distinctive structural parameters and scattering theory.The outcomes of this research break the periodic limitation of interface state-based BICs,and realize more and higher symmetry interface state-based BICs and BCR modes.Moreover,we can control the region where light is captured by adjusting the frequency,and show that the Q factor of BICs is more closely related to the ordinal number of rings and the rotational symmetry number of the system.

Shape Anisotropy and Resonance Mode Guided Reliable Interconnect Design for In-plane Magnetic Logic

Dipole coupled nanomagnets controlled by the static Zeeman field can form various magnetic logic interconnects.However, the corner wire interconnect is often unreliable and error-prone at room temperature. In this study, we address this problem by making it into a reliable type with trapezoid-shaped nanomagnets, the shape anisotropy of which helps to offer the robustness. The building method of the proposed corner wire interconnect is discussed,and both its static and dynamic magnetization properties are investigated. Static micromagnetic simulation demonstrates that it can work correctly and reliably. Dynamic response results are reached by imposing an ac microwave field on the proposed corner wire. It is found that strong ferromagnetic resonance absorption appears at a low frequency. With the help of a very small ac field with the peak resonance frequency, the required static Zeeman field to switch the corner wire is significantly decreased by ~21 m T. This novel interconnect would pave the way for the realization of reliable and low power nanomagnetic logic circuits.

Generation of lossy mode resonances(LMR)using perovskite nanofilms

The results presented here show for the first time the experimental demonstration of the fabrication of lossy mode resonance(LMR) devices based on perovskite coatings deposited on planar waveguides. Perovskite thin films have been obtained by means of the spin coating technique and their presence was confirmed by ellipsometry, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction testing. The LMRs can be generated in a wide wavelength range and the experimental results agree with the theoretical simulations. Overall, this study highlights the potential of perovskite thin films for the development of novel LMR-based devices that can be used for environmental monitoring, industrial sensing, and gas detection, among other applications.

Application of ultrasonic vibration to shape-casting based on resonance vibration analysis

The application of ultrasonic vibration during the casting process has been proven to refine the microstructure and enhance the properties of the casting.By using the direct inserting method,wherein the ultrasonic horn is inserted directly into the melt,ultrasonic treatment can be utilized in the semi-continuous casting process to produce aluminum ingots with simple shapes.However,due to the attenuation of ultrasound,it is challenging to apply the direct inserting method in the die casting process to produce complex castings.Thus,in this study,the impact of ultrasonic vibration on the microstructure of a gravity die-cast AlSi9Cu3end cap was investigated by applying ultrasonic vibration on the core(indirect method).It is found that the effect of ultrasonic vibration relies greatly on the resonance mode of the core.Selection of ultrasonic vibration schemes mainly depends on the core structure,and only a strong vibration can significantly refine the microstructure of the casting.For castings with complex structures,an elaborated ultrasonic vibration design is necessary to refine the microstructure of the specified casting.In addition,strong vibration applied on the feeding channel can promote the feeding ability of casting by breaking the dendrites during solidification,and consequently reduce the shrinkage porosity.

Guided mode resonance in planar metamaterials consisting of two ring resonators with different sizes

We proposed and experimentally investigated a two-ring-resonator composed planar hybrid metamaterial（MM）, in which the spectra of guided mode resonance（GMR） and Fano resonance or EIT-like response induced by coherent interaction between MM resonance and GMR can be easily controlled by the size of the two rings in the terahertz regime.Furthermore, a four-ring-resonator composed MM for polarization-insensitive GMRs was demonstrated, where GMRs of both TE and TM modes are physically attributed to the diffraction coupling by two ±45° tilting gratings. Such kind of device has great potential in ultra-sensitive label-free sensors, filters, or slow light based devices.

Tunable dual-band terahertz graphene absorber with guided mode resonances

A tunable dual-band terahertz absorber is designed and investigated. The unit cell of the proposed absorber consists of a graphene monolayer on a guided-mode resonant filter. The graphene absorber presents > 40% absorption at two resonance frequencies, which is attributed to the guided mode resonances with different mode numbers. The electric field intensity distribution is analyzed to disclose the physical mechanism of such a dual-band absorption effect. Furthermore,the influence of optical properties of graphene, including Fermi level and relaxation time, on the absorption spectra are investigated. Finally, the influence of geometric parameters on the absorption spectrum is studied, which will provide useful guidance for the fabrication of this absorber. We believe that the results may be useful for developing the next-generation graphene-based optoelectronic devices.

Broadband non-polarizing beam splitter based on guided mode resonance effect

A broadband non-polarizing beam splitter （NPBS） operating in the telecommunication C＋L band is designed by using the guided mode resonance effect of periodic silicon-on-insulator （SOI） elements. It is shown that this double layer SOI structure can provide ~50/50 beam ratio with the maximum divergences between reflection and transmission being less than 8% over the spectrum of 1.4μm-l.7 μm and i% in the telecommunication band for both TE and TM polarizations. The physical basis of this broadband non-polarizing property is on the simultaneous excitation of the TE and TM strong modulation waveguide modes near the designed spectrum band. Meanwhile, the electric field distributions for both TE and TM polarizations verify the resonant origin of spectrum in the periodic SOI structure. Furthermore, it is demonstrated with our calculations that the beam splitter proposed here is tolerant to the deviations of incident angle and structure parameters, which make it very easy to be fabricated with current IC technology.

Excellent polarization-independent reflector based on guided mode resonance effect

A broad band polarization-independent reflector working in the telecommunication C＋L band is proposed using the guided mode resonance effect of a periodic surface relief element deposited by a layer of silicon medium. It is shown that this structure can provide high reflection （R 〉 99.5%） and wide angular bandwidth （θ≈ 20°, R 〉 98%） for both TE and TM polarizations over a wide spectrum band 1.5 μm-l.6 μm. Furthermore, it is found by rigorous coupled wave analysis that the polarization-independent reflector proposed here is tolerant of a deviation of grating thickness, which makes it very easy to fabricate in experiments.

On rotational normal modes of the Earth：Resonance,excitation,convolution, deconvolution and all that

Earth＇s Coriolis force profoundly alters the eigen frequencies, eigen functions, and excitation of rotational normal modes. Some rotational modes of the solid mantle-fluid outer core-solid inner core Earth system are confirmed observationally and some remain elusive. Here we bring together from literature assertions about an excited resonance system in terms of the Green＇s function and temporal convolution. We raise caveats against taking the face values of the oscillational motion which have been ＂masqueraded＂ by the convolution, necessitating deconvolution for retrieving the excitation function which reflects the true variability. Lastly we exemplify successful applications of the deconvolution in estimating resonance complex frequencies.

Excitation of Zonal Flows by ion-temperature-gradient Modes Excited by the Fluid Resonance

We apply the reductive perturbation method to the simple electrostatic ion-temperature-gradient mode in an advanced fluid description. The fluid resonance turns out to play a major role for the excitation of zonal flows. This is the mechanism recently found to lead to the low-to-high （L-H） mode transition and to the nonlinear Dimits upshift in transport code simulations. It is important that we have taken the nonlinear temperature dynamics from the Reynolds stress as the convected diamagnetic flow. This has turned out to be the most relevant effect as found in transport simulations of the L-H transition, internal transport barriers and Dimits shift. This is the first time that an analytical method is applied to a system which numerically has been found to give the right experimental dynamics.

Resonantly enhanced second-and third-harmonic generation in dielectric nonlinear metasurfaces

Nonlinear dielectric metasurfaces provide a promising approach to control and manipulate frequency conversion optical processes at the nanoscale,thus facilitating both advances in fundamental research and the development of new practical applications in photonics,lasing,and sensing.Here,we employ symmetry-broken metasurfaces made of centrosymmetric amorphous silicon for resonantly enhanced second-and third-order nonlinear optical response.Exploiting the rich physics of optical quasi-bound states in the continuum and guided mode resonances,we comprehensively study through rigorous numerical calculations the relative contribution of surface and bulk effects to second-harmonic generation(SHG)and the bulk contribution to third-harmonic generation(THG) from the meta-atoms.Next,we experimentally achieve optical resonances with high quality factors,which greatly boosts light-matter interaction,resulting in about 550 times SHG enhancement and nearly 5000-fold increase of THG.A good agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental measurements is observed.To gain deeper insights into the physics of the investigated nonlinear optical processes,we further numerically study the relation between nonlinear emission and the structural asymmetry of the metasurface and reveal that the generated harmonic signals arising from linear sharp resonances are highly dependent on the asymmetry of the meta-atoms.Our work suggests a fruitful strategy to enhance the harmonic generation and effectively control different orders of harmonics in all-dielectric metasurfaces,enabling the development of efficient active photonic nanodevices.

Resonant magneto-optical Kerr effect induced by hybrid plasma modes in ferromagnetic nanovoids

With nanovoids buried in Co films, resonant structures were observed in spectra of polar magneto-optical Kerr effect（MOKE）, where both a narrow bandwidth and high intensity were acquired. Through changing the thickness of Co films and the lattice of voids, different optical modes were introduced. For a very shallow array of voids, the resonant MOKE was induced by Ag plasma edge resonance, for deeper ones, hybrid plasma modes, such as void plasmons in the voids, surface lattice plasmons between the voids, and the co-action of them, etc. resulted in resonant MOKE. We found that resonant MOKE resulted from the void plasmons resonance which possesses the narrowest bandwidth for the lowest absorption of voids. The simulated electromagnetic field（EF） distribution consolidated different effects of these three optical modes on resonant MOKE modulation. Such resonant polar MOKE possesses high sensitivity, which might pave the way to on-chip MO devices.

A resonator mode in linear arrays of silver spheres and cylinders

A transversal mode with zero group velocity and non-zero phase velocity that can exist in chains of silver nano- spheres in the optical frequency range was theoretically studied. It is shown that the external source radiating a narrow-band non-monochromatic signal can excite in the chain a mixture of standing and slowly travelling waves. The standing wave com- ponent (named as resonator mode) is strongly dominating. The physical reason of such a regime is a sign-varying distribution of power flux over the cross section of the chain. This situation is similar to the scenario of the propagation of a wave along the boundary between the right-handed and left-handed media where the spatial distribution of the light intensity is vortex. However, in the present case there is no boundary between media and the boundary between the positive and negative power fluxes is a cylindric tube in free space whose axis is the axis of the chain.

Inter-Well Coupling and Resonant Tunneling Modes of Multiple Graphene Quantum Wells

We investigate the inter-well coupling of multiple graphene quantum well structures consisting of graphenesuperlattices with different periodic potentials.The general form of the eigenlevel equation for the bound states of thequantum well is expressed in terms of the transfer matrix elements.It is found that the electronic transmission exhibitsresonant tunneling peaks at the eigenlevels of the bound states and shifts to the higher energy with increasing the incidentangle.If there are N coupled quantum wells,the resonant modes have N-fold splitting.The peaks of resonant tunnelingcan be controlled by modulating the graphene barriers.

Examining micro-cavity parameters of top emission organic light-emitting diode with low-order resonant modes

Emission characteristics of top emitting organic light-emitting devices （TOLEDs） with Ag as reflective anode, Al/Ag as semitransparent cathode and 90 160 nm [N-（1-naphthyl）-N-phenyl-amino] biphenyl/tris-（8-hydroxy quinoline） aluminum （NPB/Alq3） sandwiched in the electrodes are examined. The electroluminescence （EL） spectra of the TOLEDs are simulated based on the Fabry-Perot cavity theory. And the resonant modes in cavity structure of TOLEDs is discussed and clarified which can accurately describe the work principle of the devices. A fairly good match between calculated values and experimental data is achieved at different emission colors from bluish green to orange.

Guided-mode resonant Brewster filter consisting of two homogenous layers and a single grating with an equal refractive index

In this paper, a new type of resonant Brewster filter （RBF） consisting of two homogenous layers and a single grating with an equal refractive index is presented. The properties are studied by using the plane waveguide method （PWM） and rigorous coupled-wave analysis （RCWA）. It is found that the variation of the grating thickness does not effectively change the position of the resonant wavelength, however it has a remarkable effect on the line width, and the resonant peak can be adjusted back to its original position by slightly tuning the grating period. Moreover, by simultaneously tuning the thicknesses of the homogeneous layers above and beneath the grating structure, multiple channels can also be obtained when the RBF is illuminated at the Brewster angle calculated with the effective medium theory （EMT） of subwavelength grating. The adjacent optical thickness for acquiring the multiple channels is about three-quarters of the resonant wavelength. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the line width at the operating resonant wavelength can be appreciably narrowed by tuning the thickness of the homogenous layer to its corresponding thickness without fine tuning the grating period or the thickness. Therefore, it is very useful for designing filters with different line widths at the desired wavelength. In addition, it is shown from our calculations that the symmetrical line feather can be obtained if the total optical thickness for the homogeneous layer meets the special condition.

Numerical Investigations on Harbor Oscillations Induced by Falling Objects

In this paper,the open-sourced computational fluid dynamics software,OpenFOAM~?,is used to study the fluctuation phenomenon of the water body inside a horizontally one-dimensional enclosed harbor basin with constant water depth triggered by falling wedges with various horizontal falling positions,initial falling velocities and masses.Based on both Fourier transfo rm analysis and wavelet spectrum analysis for the time series of the free surface elevations inside the harbor basin,it is found for the first time that the wedge falling inside the harbor can directly trigger harbor resonance.The influences of the three factors(including the horizontal falling position,the initial falling velocity,and the mass)on the response amplitudes of the lowest three resonant modes are also investigated.The results show that when the wedge falls on one of the nodal points of a resonant mode,the mode would be remarkably suppressed.Conversely,when the wedge falls on one of the anti-nodal points of a resonant mode,the mode would be evidently triggered.The initial falling velocity of the wedge mainly has a remarkable effect on the response amplitude of the most significant mode,and the latter shows a gradual increase trend with the increase of the former.While for the other two less significant modes,their response amplitudes fluctuate around certain constant values as the initial falling velocity rises.In general,the response amplitudes of all the lowest three modes are shown to gradually increase with the mass of the wedge.

Mode-varying Cell Equalizer Based on Interleaved Parallel Multiple Transformers

In the application of long series batteries,there is always the phenomenon that multiple cells in a pack are unbalanced simultaneously.In view of this situation,a modevarying cell equalizer topology based on interleaved parallel multiple transformers is proposed in this paper.Every unit in this equalizer can freely switch between LLC resonance mode and 3-state LC quasi-resonance mode.The boosting effect of LLC structure is used to reduce the number of transformer’s total turns.When multiple equalizer units need to work in LLC mode simultaneously,interleaved parallel technology is used to limit secondary side equalization current ripple for long-term protection of battery life.A prototype was designed and built to validate the effect of a closed loop LLC mode control algorithm with a state-of-charge(SOC)based equalization scheme selection strategy.Experimental results including up to 88.52%efficiency in LLC mode with 90.7%efficiency in 3-state LC mode,and minute level balancing time show the proposed topology demonstrates excellent balancing performance.

Smith-Purcell radiation improved by multi-grating structure

The photonic crystal structure has attracted much attention due to its ability to confine light.In this paper,we present our study on an improved Smith-Purcell radiation from a simple metal photonic crystal excited by moving electrons.Different from the wide-band Smith-Purcell radiation from a single metal grating,the results show that the injected electrons could induce more dipole oscillations inside the multi-grating structure,and it leads to the enhancement of the radiation intensity.In addition,there are strong resonances in metal multi-grating structure,and the resonance characteristics may narrow the radiation band,which leads to a radiation with an obvious peak in the spectrum.Therefore,the multi-grating structure has the ability to enhance the radiation intensity and shape the radiation frequency band.By optimizing the structure parameters,coherent and tunable Smith-Purcell radiation can be realized,and it provides a potential way to develop band-controllable light or THz radiation source.
