Bubble acoustical scattering cross section under multi-frequency acoustic excitation

The acoustical scattering cross section is usually employed to evaluate the scattering ability of the bubbles when they are excited by the incident acoustic waves. This parameter is strongly related to many important applications of performance prediction for search sonar or underwater telemetry, acoustical oceanography, acoustic cavitation, volcanology, and medical and industrial ultrasound. In the present paper, both the analytical and numerical analysis results of the acoustical scattering cross section of a single bubble under multi-frequency excitation are obtained. The nonlinear characteristics（e.g.,harmonics, subharmonics, and ultraharmonics） of the scattering cross section curve under multi-frequency excitation are investigated compared with single-frequency excitation. The influence of several paramount parameters（e.g., bubble equilibrium radius, acoustic pressure amplitude, and acoustic frequencies） in the multi-frequency system on the predictions of scattering cross section is discussed. It is shown that the combination resonances become significant in the multi-frequency system when the acoustic power is big enough, and the acoustical scattering cross section is promoted significantly within a much broader range of bubble sizes and acoustic frequencies due to the generation of more resonances.

Effect of CC Coherent Vibration on Relative Raman Scattering Cross Sections of All-trans β-Carotene

We have determined the Raman scattering cross sections（RSCSs） of fl-carotene for C=C and C-C stretching modes, with the 1444 cm^-1 Raman band of cyclohexane as internal standard, in different solvents at low concentrations by measuring Raman intensity. The results show that RSCSs of β-carotene were 10^6-10^7 times larger than the general RSCSs, we analyzed that this enhancement was caused not only by the resonance Raman effect but also by nonlinear coherent CC vibration in aqueous β-carotene. Moreover, overtone and combinations of it were also observed and their intensities were 10%-20% of those of their fundamentals when β-carotene was dissolved in non-polar solvents, respectively.

Total cross sections for electron scattering from sulfur compounds

The original additivity rule method cannot give good results for electron scattering from SO,SO2,SO2Cl2,SO2ClF,and SO2F2 molecules at low energy,because the electron-molecule scattering is simply reduced to electron-atom scattering.Considering the difference between the bound atom in a molecule and the corresponding free atom,the original additivity rule is revised.With the revised additivity rule,the total cross sections for electron scattering from these molecules are calculated over a wide energy range below 3000 eV and compared with the available experimental and theoretical data.A better agreement between them is obtained.

Examples are given to show the validity of the method.

Quantum Mechanical Approach for Rutherford Scattering and Nuclear Scattering with Born Approximation

Rutherford classical scattering theory, as its quantum mechanical analogue, is modified for scattering cross-section and the impact parameter by using quantum mechanical momentum, (de Broglie hypothesis), energy relationship for matter oscillator (Einstein’s oscillator) and quantum mechanical wave vectors, and , respectively. It is observed that the quantum mechanical scattering cross-section and the impact parameter depended on inverse square law of quantum action (Planck’s constant). Born approximation is revisited for quantum mechanical scattering. Using Bessel and Neumann asymptotic functions and response of nuclear surface potential barrier, born approximations were modified. The coulombic fields inside the nucleus of the atom are studied for reflection and transmission with corresponding wave vectors, phase shifts and eigenfunctions Bulk quantum mechanical tunneling and reflection scattering, both for ruptured and unruptured nucleus of the atom, are deciphered with corresponding wave vectors, phase shifts and eigenfunction. Similar calculation ware accomplished for quantum surface tunneling and reflection scattering with corresponding wave vectors, phase shifts and eigenfunctions. Such diverse quantum mechanical scattering cross-section with corresponding wave vectors for tunneling and reflection, phase shifts and eigenfunctions will pave a new dimension to understanding the behavior of exchange fields in the nucleus of the atom with insides layers both ruptured and unruptured. Phase shifts, δl for each of the energy profile (partial) will be different and indeed their corresponding wave vectors for exchange energy eigenvalues.

Electromagnetic backscattering from one-dimensional drifting fractal sea surface Ⅱ：Electromagnetic backscattering model

Sea surface current has a significant influence on electromagnetic（EM） backscattering signals and may constitute a dominant synthetic aperture radar（SAR） imaging mechanism. An effective EM backscattering model for a one-dimensional drifting fractal sea surface is presented in this paper. This model is used to simulate EM backscattering signals from the drifting sea surface. Numerical results show that ocean currents have a significant influence on EM backscattering signals from the sea surface. The normalized radar cross section（NRCS） discrepancies between the model for a coupled wavecurrent fractal sea surface and the model for an uncoupled fractal sea surface increase with the increase of incidence angle,as well as with increasing ocean currents. Ocean currents that are parallel to the direction of the wave can weaken the EM backscattering signal intensity, while the EM backscattering signal is intensified by ocean currents propagating oppositely to the wave direction. The model presented in this paper can be used to study the SAR imaging mechanism for a drifting sea surface.

Composite wave-absorbing structure combining thin plasma and metasurface

In order to solve the thickness dependence of plasma absorption of electromagnetic waves and further reduce the backward radar scattering cross section(RCS)of the target,we designed a novel composite structure of a metasurface and plasma.A metasurface with three absorption peaks is designed by means of an equivalent circuit based on an electromagnetic resonance type metamaterial absorber.The reflection and absorption of the composite structure are numerically and experimentally verified.The finite integration method was used to simulate a composite structure of finite size to obtain the RCS.The experimental measurements of electromagnetic wave reflection were conducted by a vector network analyzer(Keysight N5234A)and horn antennas,etc.The research showed that the absorption capacity of this composite structure was substantially improved compared to either the plasma or the metasurface,and it is more convenient for application due to its low plasma thickness requirement and easy fabrication.

A new semi-empirical formula for total cross sections of electron scattering from triatomic molecules at 30—5000 eV

Total cross sections （TCSs） of electrons scattering from triatomic molecules over the energy range from 30 to 5000 eV are investigated employing a new semi-empirical formula. The TCSs of electrons scattering from triatomic molecules SO2, NO2, and CO2 are calculated. The quantitative TCSs are in good agreement with those obtained by experiments. It is shown that the results derived from the semi-empirical formula are much closer to the measurements than other calculations.

Effective path planning method for low detectable aircraft

To utilizing the characteristic of radar cross section （RCS） of the low detectable aircraft, a special path planning algorithm to eluding radars by the variable RCS is presented. The algorithm first gives the RCS changing model of low detectable aircraft, then establishes a threat model of a ground-based air defense system according to the relations between RCS and the radar range coverage. By the new cost functions of the flight path, which consider both factors of the survival probability and the distance of total route, this path planning method is simulated based on the Dijkstra algorithm, and the planned route meets the flight capacity constraints. Simulation results show that using the effective path planning algorithm, the low detectable aircraft can give full play to its own advantage of stealth to achieve the purpose of silent penetration.

Tunable Electromagnetic Cloaking by External Field

Electromagnetic cloaking based on the scattering cancellation method have been reviewed. The possibility of designing the tunable electromagnetic cloaking is analytically suggested with a single cloak composed of homogeneous materials,including semiconductor,superconductor,ferrite and ferroelectrics by using Mie scattering theory. The simulated results demonstrate that the cloaks with these homogeneous materials can drastically reduce the total scattering cross sections of the cloaked system by using the finite element method. These cloaking frequencies can be controlled by external field through tuning the permittivity or permeability of these materials by the applied field,such as temperature,magnetic field and electric field. These may provide some potential ways to design tunable cloaking with considerable flexibility.

Difference in effect of temperature on absorption and Raman spectra between all-trans-β-carotene and all-trans-retinol

Temperature dependencies （81 ℃- 18 ℃） of visible absorption and Raman spectra of all-trans-β-carotene and all-trans-retinol extremely diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide are investigated in order to clarify temperature effects on different polyenes. Their absorption spectra are identified to be redshifted with temperature decreasing. Moreover, all-trans-β-carotene is more sensitive to temperature due to the presence of a longer length of conjugated system. The characteristic energy responsible for the conformational changes in all-trans-β-carotene is smaller than that in all-transretinol. Both of the Raman scattering cross sections increase with temperature decreasing. The results are explained with electron-phonon coupling theory and coherent weakly damped electron-lattice vibrations model.

Electron inelastic mean free paths in solids:A theoretical approach

In the present paper, the inelastic mean free path （IMFP） of incident electrons is calculated as a function of energy for silicon （Si）, oxides of silicon （SiO2）, SiO, and A1203 in bulk form by employing atomic/molecular inelastic cross sections derived by using a semi-empirical quantum mechanical method developed earlier. A general agreement of the present results is found with most of the available data. It is of great importance that we have been able to estimate the minimum IMFP, which corresponds to the peak of inelastic interactions of incident electrons in each solid investigated. New results are presented for SiO, for which no comparison is available. The present work is important in view of the lack of experimental data on the IMFP in solids.

Electromagnetic-scattering by bi-sphere groups and coherent- beam scattering by homogeneous spheres

By using Mie’s theory,the boundary conditions,and some advanced mathematical knowledge,the scattering problem of a plane-wave by bi-sphere groups and of cores-traversed coherent Gauss-beams by one sphere was addressed.In each,the coefficients of the scattering-field expressions were deduced.Finally,the result was predigested and transfigured so that the available form for programming was achieved.On deducing,the former adopted the undetermined coefficient method and the latter used the plane geometry method.Moreover,the complexity of the calculation was decreased here.

Role of a high ground-state centrifugal barrier in the breakup of the ^(31)Ne nucleus

An analysis of the breakup of the 31 Ne weakly-bound neutron-halo system on a lead target is presented,considering the 2p_(3/2) and 1f_(7/2) ground-state configurations.It is shown that a high centrifugal barrier almost wipes out the breakup channel,thus assimilating the breakup of a weakly-bound system to that of a tightly-bound system,and also reduces the range of the monopole nuclear potential.Consequently,a high centrifugal barrier prevents the suppression of the Coulomb-nuclear interference(CNI) peak by weakening couplings to the breakup channel and reducing the range of the monopole nuclear potential,two main factors that would otherwise suppress such a peak.The present study also identifies couplings to the breakup channel and a long-ranged monopole nuclear potential as the main factors that lead to the suppression of the CNI peak.A low centrifugal barrier together with a Coulomb barrier would also effectively prevent the suppression of the CNI peak in proton-halos as reported in the case of the 8B proton-halo.
