1.36Tbit/s spectral slicing source based on a Cr4+:YAG femtosecond laser

We report a novel OTDM/WDM source based on spectral slicing of a passively mode-locked Cr4: YAG femtosecond pulse source. Total capacities up to 682Gbit/s and 1.36bit/s with spectral efficiencies of 0.2b/s/Hz and 0.4b/s/Hz have been achieved. © 2003 Optical Society of America.

Magnetic anisotropy of BaM ferrites

Using the point charge model with weak field scheme, a calculation of the single ion anisotropy of Fe3+ ionsn at all crystal sites in BaFe12O19 was made by perturbation theory. The results show that in addition to the 2b site, all other sites have non-negligible contributions. © 1983.

First-principles energetics of water: a many-body analysis

Standard forms of density-functional theory (DFT) have good predictive power for many materials, but are not yet fully satisfactory for solid, liquid and cluster forms of water. We use a many-body separation of the total energy into its 1-body, 2-body (2B) and beyond-2-body (B2B) components to analyze the deficiencies of two popular DFT approximations. We show how machine-learning methods make this analysis possible for ice structures as well as for water clusters. We find that the crucial energy balance between compact and extended geometries can be distorted by 2B and B2B errors, and that both types of first-principles error are important.
