Two-dimensional inversion of spectral induced polarization data using MPI parallel algorithm in data space

Traditional two-dimensional（2D） complex resistivity forward modeling is based on Poisson＇s equation but spectral induced polarization（SIP） data are the coproducts of the induced polarization（IP） and the electromagnetic induction（EMI） effects.This is especially true under high frequencies,where the EMI effect can exceed the IP effect.2D inversion that only considers the IP effect reduces the reliability of the inversion data.In this paper,we derive differential equations using Maxwell＇s equations.With the introduction of the Cole-Cole model,we use the finite-element method to conduct2 D SIP forward modeling that considers the EMI and IP effects simultaneously.The data-space Occam method,in which different constraints to the model smoothness and parametric boundaries are introduced,is then used to simultaneously obtain the four parameters of the Cole-Cole model using multi-array electric field data.This approach not only improves the stability of the inversion but also significantly reduces the solution ambiguity.To improve the computational efficiency,message passing interface programming was used to accelerate the 2D SIP forward modeling and inversion.Synthetic datasets were tested using both serial and parallel algorithms,and the tests suggest that the proposed parallel algorithm is robust and efficient.

Monitoring lime and cement improvement using spectral induced polarization and bender element techniques

Spectral induced polarization(SIP)and bender element(BE)techniques show a high sensitivity to particle size,particle distribution and content of generated hydration products,which essentially govern the efficiency of ground improvement.In this context,both SIP and BE were integrated on a column setup to monitor the processes of lime and cement stabilization.A 5 mmol/L Na2CO3 solution was injected into the sand-lime mixture to produce CaCO3 precipitation,while deionized water was injected into the sandcement mixture to induce the hydration of cement.The average diameters of the precipitated particles or clusters were calculated from the relaxation time,which was a significant parameter of SIP signals,via the Schwarz equation.Two pairs of BE were used to demonstrate the heterogeneity of the product precipitation,which was probably caused by the location of the inflow and outflow on the SIP-BE column.SIP and BE showed the capability of nondestructively monitoring the spatiotemporal chemical evolution processes,which could be helpful for engineering applications.

Far-zone behaviors of scattering-induced statistical properties of partially polarized spatially and spectrally partially coherent electromagnetic pulsed beam

In this study, we explore the far-zero behaviors of a scattered partially polarized spatially and spectrally partially coherent electromagnetic pulsed beam irradiating on a deterministic medium. The analytical formula for the cross-spectral density matrix elements of this beam in the spherical coordinate system is derived. Within the framework of the first-order Born approximation, the effects of the scattering angle θ, the source parameters (i.e., the pulse duration T0 and the temporal coherence length Tcxx), and the scatterer parameter (i.e., the effective width of the medium σR) on the spectral density, the spectral shift, the spectral degree of polarization, and the degree of spectral coherence of the scattered source in the far-zero field are studied numerically and comparatively. Our work improves the scattering theory of stochastic electromagnetic beams and it may be useful for the applications involving the interaction between incident light waves and scattering media.

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering spectroscopy of single R6G molecules

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering （SERRS） of Rhodamine 6G （R6G） adsorbed on colloidal silver clusters has been studied. Based on the great enhancement of the Raman signal and the quench of the fluorescence, the SERRS spectra of R6G were recorded for the samples of dye colloidal solution with different concentrations. Spectral inhomogeneity behaviours from single molecules in the dried sample films were observed with complementary evidences, such as spectral polarization, spectral diffusion, intensity fluctuation of vibrational lines and even ＂breathing＂ of the molecules. Sequential spectra observed from a liquid sample with an average of 0.3 dye molecules in the probed volume exhibited the expected Poisson distribution for actually measuring 0, 1 or 2 molecules. Difference between the SERRS spectra of R6G excited by linearly and circularly polarized light were experimentally measured.

Principal polar spectral indices for mapping mangroves forest inSouth East Asia: study case Indonesia

Identification and monitoring of species composition and richness isneeded to formulate effective mangrove management and conservationpriorities. Prior studies have used commercial satellite images which arecost prohibitive for national and global applications. Here, we usedfreely available Landsat satellite data and new indices to discriminatemangrove species in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia andSegara Anakan, West Java, Indonesia. We use sensitive algorithm of theprincipal polar spectral (PPS) indices to discriminate mangroves species.PPS Indices were produced from a set of 3-dimensional Landsat 8Operational Land Imager (OLI) spectral indices (PPS Brightness, PPSGreenness, and PPS Wetness) determined by a polar change of theprincipal component axes of a spectral image of reference scene. Wequalitatively compare this set of PPS indices with the set of conventionalRGB multi-bands image composition and conventional NormalizedDifference Vegetation Indices (NDVI) for mangroves speciesdiscrimination. The comparisons indicate that the set of PPS indiceshave the potential for regional and possibly global applications inmangroves species mapping and monitoring.

Controlling nonadiabatic spectral redshift of high-order harmonic using two orthogonally polarized laser fields

We investigate the nonadiabatic spectral redshift of high-order harmonic of He driven by two time-delayed orthogonally polarized laser fields. It is found that the nonadiabatic spectral redshift can be observed by properly adjusting the time delay of the two laser fields when the controlling pulse is added in the raising part of the driving pulse in the vertical direction. That is because the controlling pulse in the vertical direction prevents the ionized electrons from returning to the vicinity of parent ions and then reduces the recombination probability. This leads to the high-order harmonic generated mainly in the falling part of the driving pulse. Meanwhile,we also find that the quantity of redshift can be effectively controlled through accommodating the positive time delays. In addition, this scheme can also be used to produce nonadiabatic spectral blueshift.
