Studies have shown that, by adjusting the parameters, the first-order diffraction efficiency of the probe beam in the cold atomic system and the thermal atomic system is 34% and 31%, respectively, which is very close to the ideal diffraction efficiency of the sinusoidal grating. However, it is more difficult to prepare the cold atomic system than to prepare the thermal atomic system in the practical application, so the study of the electromagnetically induced grating effect in the thermal atomic system may be helpful for practical applications.展开更多

The rod is on axis x, the left outermost surface of which is traction free and the right outermost surface is fixed. Free boundary condition is imposed on the outermost surfaces in direction y and z. The left and right ends of the rod are subjected to hot and cold baths, respectively. Temperature, displacement and stress distributions are obtained along the rod at different moments, which are shown to be limited in the mobile region, indicating that the heat propagation speed is limited rather than infinite. This is consistent with the prediction given by generalized thermoelastic theory. From simulation results we find that the speed of heat conduction is the same as the speed of thermal stress wave. In the present paper, the simulations are conducted using the large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator and completed visualization software.展开更多

In this work, thermal atomic layer deposition(TALD) indium gallium zinc oxide(IGZO) technology was explored. It was found that the atomic composition and the physical properties of the IGZO films can be modulated by changing the sub-cycles number during atomic layer deposition(ALD) process. In addition, thin-film transistors(TFTs) with vertical channel-all-around(CAA) structure were realized to explore the influence of different IGZO films as channel layers on the performance of transistors. Our research demonstrates that TALD is crucial for high density integration technology, and the proposed vertical IGZO CAA-TFT provides a feasible path to break through the technical problems for the continuous scale of electronic equipment.展开更多

New HI images from the Very Large Array Galactic Plane Survey show clear absorption features associated with the UCHII region up to 95 km s^-1, and there are no other absorptions up to the tangential velocity. This reveals that G25.4NW has a near-side distance of 5.7 kpc, and it is located in the region of the inner Galactic molecular ring. Using the new distance, the bolometric luminosity of G25.4NW is estimated as 105.6 L⊙, which corresponds to an 06 star. It contains 460 M⊙ of ionized gas. A high-resolution ^13CO image from the Galactic Ring Survey reveals that G25.4NW is part of a more extended star-forming complex with about 104 M⊙ of molecular gas.展开更多

The pump and probe fields are derived from the same laser with opposite propagating directions. Due to the Doppler effect, the zero group-velocity atoms face bichromatic fields, while other atoms face trichromatic fields. The atomic medium shows distinct characteristics and exhibits simultaneous electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) and electromagnetically induced absorption(EIA) at two frequencies. EIT and EIA peaks have a fixed relationship with frequency, which is determined by the Doppler shifts.展开更多

The polymer chains were anchored onto the surface of nano-CaCO3 through use of a cou- pling agent, triethoxyvinyl silane (TEVS). Ammonium persulfate (APS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and n-pentanol were used as the initiator, surfactant and cosurfactant, respectively. The polymeriza- tion mechanism of the core-shell latex particles is discussed. The encapsulation of nano-CaCO3 by PMMA was confirmed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The grafting percentage of the core-shell particles was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The nano-CaCO3/PMMA core-shell par- ticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The FTIR results revealed the existence of a strong interaction at the interface of the nano-CaCO3 particle and the PMMA, which implies that the polymer chains were successfully grafted onto the surface of the nano-CaCO3 particles through the link of the coupling agent, In addition, the TGA and DSC results indicated an enhancement of the thermal stability of the core-shell materials compared with that of the pure nano-PMMA, The nano-CaCO3/PMMA particles were blended into a polypropylene (PP) matrix by melt processing. It can also be observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that the PMMA chains grafted onto the CaCO3 nanoparticles interfere with the aggregation of CaCO3 in the polymer matrix (PP matrix) and thus improve the compatibility of the CaCO3 nanoparticles with the PP matrix.展开更多
