Superradiant phase transition and entanglement entropy in the Dicke model with a squeezed light are investigated. We find a special rotation coordinate system mapping the original Hamiltonian into an effective dual-oscillator Hamiltonian in the thermodynamic limit. We analytically derive the eigenenergy and eigenstate of the ground state. The ground state is demonstrated to undergo superradiant phase transition at a nonlinear critical boundary collectively induced by the squeezed driving and qubit-field coupling. This phase boundary requires neither large qubit-field detuning nor strong squeezed driving. An exact expression of the ground-state entropy is obtained. We demonstrate that the squeezed light enhances the qubit-field entanglement entropy linearly.

摘要 一项理论研究深入探讨了在一个非均匀、不均匀、非磁化的尘埃等离子体中存在的多重孤子和呼吸器构型,其特点是具有普遍的极化力。该系统包括离子、电子、带正电和负电的尘埃粒子,按照超热分布。利用还原扰动技术(RPT),从基本流体力学模型方程推导出了加德纳方程(GE)。利用 Hirota 双线性方法(HBM)合成了 GE 的多孤子,通过适当选择复波数,进一步促进了对呼吸解的探索。该系统同时表现出压缩和稀疏多孤子现象。此外,呼吸结构的行为随相关等离子体参数的变化而变化;偶尔,它们会重叠,而在其他时候,它们仍然完全不相连。这项研究对研究大气、海洋、光纤和信号处理等自然现象中有限振幅波的传播具有重要意义。图形摘要图中分别显示了参数值为(k_i = 5, k_e = 2.5, mu _i = 0.7, mu _e = 0.3, mu = 10, rho = 1.01, sigma _i = 0.1, R = 0.5, Z = 0.01)时,尘埃等离子体中具有极化力的加德纳方程的双孑子(a)和呼吸器结构(b)之间的相互作用。手稿中的一些图表说明了双孑子解的传播和相互作用,以及各种呼吸结构在极化力作用下在尘埃等离子体中的传播。我们使用符号计算软件 Mathematica 探索了所呈现的波解。双孤立子和呼吸结构的多样性取决于等离子体参数和波数(实数或复数)的选择。这项工作通过图形表示法,分析了等离子体系统如何影响上述非线性结构。

In this theoretical investigation, we have performed comprehensive quantum calculations to explore the pressure broadening effects on the (D_{1}left( 3,stext { }^{2}S_{1/2}-3ptext { }^{2}P_{1/2}right) ) and (D_{2}left( 3,s text { }^{2}S_{1/2}-3ptext { }^{2}P_{3/2}right) ) lines of the Mg( ^{+}) magnesium ion when surrounded by ground-state He helium atoms.

To accomplish this goal, we developed precise potential energy curves for the ground (X ^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+}) and the excited (A^{2}Pi _{1/2},A^{2}Pi _{3/2}) and B(^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+}), along with the associated transition dipole moments, using data derived from advanced ab initio methodologies such as SA-CASSCF, MRCI, and SO coupling, with Davidson and BSSE corrections.

We have confirmed agreement between our theoretical findings and prior research.
AbstractIn this theoretical investigation, we have performed comprehensive quantum calculations to explore the pressure broadening effects on the(D_{1}left( 3、stext { }^{2}S_{1/2}-3ptext { }^{2}P_{1/2}right) ()和(D_{2}left( 3,stext { }^{2}S_{1/2}-3ptext { }^{2}P_{3/2}right) ()线。我们的目标是勾勒出这些压扩共振线的轮廓,并仔细研究它们在 Mg(^{+}) 离子和 He 原子之间的双碰撞中的行为。为了实现这一目标,我们为接地(X^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+})和激发(A^{2}Pi _{1/2},A^{2}Pi _{3/2})以及B(^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+})绘制了精确的势能曲线、和 B (^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+}),以及相关的过渡偶极矩,使用的数据来自先进的 ab initio 方法,如 SA-CASSCF、MRCI 和 SO 耦合,以及 Davidson 和 BSSE 修正。我们的研究涵盖了从4000到12000的温度范围,以及从200到450的波长范围。理论剖面主要表现为占主导地位的自由跃迁。值得注意的是,在(235,textrm{nm})波长区域附近,蓝翼上出现了一个卫星峰,它归因于B(^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+}longleftarrow X ^{2}Sigma _{1/2}^{+})跃迁。我们证实了我们的理论发现与先前研究之间的一致性。

The electrical discharges are, among others, accompanied by the emission of electromagnetic waves of various frequencies. We studied this emission for the surface dielectric barrier discharge in the air. We used the discharge with one strip-driven electrode and a sinusoidal driving voltage of frequencies 5 and 10 kHz. From the spectra of emitted waves in the frequency band up to 3 GHz, we found that this type of discharge emits the radiation of frequencies below 500 MHz. In this frequency band, we focused on the effect of the driving voltage frequency and driven electrode material on the spectra of these waves. It was found that emitted radiation is distributed in several packages of frequencies, and an increase in the driving voltage frequency or voltage increases the power level of emitted radiation. Compared with the radiation spectrum of the discharge with an aluminium-driven electrode in the spectrum of the discharge with the copper-driven electrode, new peaks of various power levels and the shift of certain radiation frequencies to lower values appear. To understand the underlying mechanism of the discharge electromagnetic waves emission, we focused on the correlation between the electric component of emitted EMWs and the discharge electrical parameters as a function of time and discharge voltage.

A Fabry–Perot interferometry was used to measure with a precision of about (10^{-4}) the Landé factor values of the levels issued from the 5s5p, 5s6d, 5s6s and 5s7p configurations of cadmium. Fully relativistic MCDHF calculations taking into account Breit and QED effects were performed to interpret the results of the experiment performed on the cadmium isotope 114. In addition to the four experimental Landé (g_J) values, new theoretical results for 12 levels are reported for the first time.

The formation and temporal evolution of the plasma boundary layer in plasma immersion ion implantation is investigated in the presence of a magnetic field. It is assumed that the ions are thermalized. When a high-voltage pulse with a ramp function is applied to a target immersed in plasma, a positive space charge is formed and expanded around it. The rise time of the ramp function of the pulse voltage influences the formation and expansion of the plasma boundary layer near the target. The time evolution of the ion current density, ion kinetic energy and ion incident angle as well as the time evolution of the positive space charge and the boundary layer thickness are studied as a functions of the magnetic field, neutral gas pressure and rise time of the ramp function. Our findings show that the time dependency of the variables of the plasma boundary layer is more pronounced for a longer rise time.

In this study, we employed an atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasma jet that used silver nitrate solution as the precursor which is injected, in an aerosol state, into the plasma jet to create silver nanoparticles with the desired distribution on the glass substrate. The crystal structure and morphology of the Ag nanoparticles printed on the glass substrate were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and the atomic force microscope (AFM). The XRD patterns confirm Ag nanostructure deposition on the glass. FESEM results show that Ag nanoparticles’ are almost spherical in shape and by increasing the applied voltages, the Ag nanoparticles' size and density increases, and AFM images confirm the results of FESEM images. Rhodamine B with various concentrations was employed to determine the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of Ag nanoparticles printed on the glass. It shows high sensitivity for Ag layers created by plasma to a threshold that even for the lower concentrations of 10−10M, Rhodamine B is still detectable. There was the optimum SERS effect at a 7 kV voltage. Also, the plasma-printed Ag layers are able to detect methylene blue, usually used as a fungicide in fish ponds and aquariums, even in low concentrations of 10−9M. The residual sulfur dioxide (SO2) of raisins was detected using a plasma-printed silver layer. This shows the application of this plasma-printed silver layer for residual SO2 detection in the food industry.

在这项研究中,我们采用了常压非热等离子体喷射技术,将硝酸银溶液作为前驱体,以气溶胶状态注入等离子体喷射器,在玻璃基板上形成所需的银纳米粒子分布。X 射线衍射(XRD)、场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)和原子力显微镜(AFM)对印在玻璃基板上的银纳米粒子的晶体结构和形态进行了表征。X 射线衍射图证实了玻璃上的银纳米结构沉积。FESEM 结果表明,Ag 纳米粒子几乎呈球形,随着施加电压的增加,Ag 纳米粒子的尺寸和密度也随之增大,AFM 图像证实了 FESEM 图像的结果。利用不同浓度的罗丹明 B 测定了印在玻璃上的银纳米粒子的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)性能。结果表明,等离子体产生的银层具有很高的灵敏度,即使在 10-10M 的低浓度下,罗丹明 B 仍能被检测到。在 7 千伏电压下,SERS 效果最佳。此外,等离子体印制的银层还能检测亚甲基蓝(通常用作鱼塘和水族馆的杀真菌剂),即使是 10-9M 的低浓度。使用等离子体印刷银层还能检测葡萄干中残留的二氧化硫(SO2)。这表明这种等离子体印刷银层可用于食品工业中的残留二氧化硫检测。

We report in this work the numerical study of the supercontinuum phenomenon raised from Airy pulses within a silicon-on-insulator waveguide including loss effects, third-harmonic generation (THG) and negative-frequency Kerr (NFK) terms. This study is conducted through a modeling based on the full unidirectional pulse propagation equation model which allows to assume the existence of the NFK term in the Kerr nonlinearity with a spectral filtering. The various effects of the linear loss, the free-carrier absorption/ free-carrier dispersion, the two-photon absorption, the THG, the NFK, the peak power, the pulse duration and the pulse shape are explored.

The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) is a distributed infrastructure combining heterogeneous atomic and molecular (A &M) data from more than 41 autonomous databases. In this paper, we present the Species Database, a scientific web service which is a central catalogue providing a useful information on A &M species from all the VAMDC databases. The Species Database is one the key pillars in the technical architecture of the VAMDC, and from the user’s point of view, it is the service to simply and immediately answer the question: Does VAMDC have data on my molecule/atom of interest? This work is structured as follows: After recalling the aims and needs that led to the construction of the Species Database, we will describe how it works, with increasing levels of complexity. First, we will describe how any user, even those with no knowledge of VAMDC, can easily use the dedicated web interface to search for and extract information. Then we will describe an API that more advanced users can use to interact with the Species Database in a more programmatic way. Two appendices cover some technical aspects that are not necessary for using the Species Database, but which may be of interest to readers wishing to understand implementation details and low-level technical subtleties.

We describe the implementation of the current Flexible Atomic Code (FAC) unique electron central potential within the autostructure code. We show that the two codes then give the same atomic data for all practical application purposes. However, autostructure has more flexible potential options which can lead to a more accurate description of atomic processes, especially in low-charged ions.
