A Compact Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer for System-on-chip

A compact direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) for system-on-chip (SoC) is developed in this paper. For smaller chip size and lower power consumption, the phase to sine mapping data is compressed by using sine symmetry technique, sine-phase difference technique, quad line approximation (QLA) technique and quantization and error read only memory (QE-ROM) technique. The ROM size is reduced by 98 % using the techniques mentioned above. A compact DDFS chip with 32-bit phase storage depth and a 10-bit on-chip digital to analog converter(DAC) has been successfully implemented using standard 0.35um CMOS process. The core area of the DDFS is 1.6mm(2). It consumes 167 mW at 3.3V, and its spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) is 61dB.

Unified theory for Goos-Hanchen and imbert-fedorov effects

A unified theory is advanced to describe both the lateral Goos-Hanchen (GH) effect and the transverse Imbert-Fedorov (IF) effect, through representing the vector angular spectrum of a three-dimensional light beam in terms of a two-form angular spectrum consisting of its two orthogonal polarized components. From this theory, the quantization characteristics of the GH and IF displacements are obtained, and the Artmann formula for the GH displacement is derived. It is found that the eigenstates of the GH displacement are the two orthogonal linear polarizations in this two-form representation, and the eigenstates of the IF displacement are the two orthogonal circular polarizations. The theoretical predictions are found to be in agreement with recent experimental results.

Magnetoexcitonic optical absorption in semiconductors under strong magnetic fields and intense terahertz radiation in the Voigt configuration

The magnetoexcitonic optical absorption of a GaAs bulk semiconductor driven by a terahertz (THz) field is investigated numerically. The method of the solution of the initial-value problem, in combination with the perfect matched layer technique, is used to calculate the optical susceptibility, with Coulomb interaction, Landau quantization, and THz fields involved nonperturbatively. It shows that there appear replicas and sidebands of magnetoexciton of different Landau levels, which greatly enrich the magneto-optical spectrum in the presence of a driving THz field.

WANNIER LOCALIZATION IN GAAS/GAALAS SUPERLATTICES UNDER ELECTRIC-FIELD

We have studied the Wannier-Stark effect in GaAs/GaAlAs short-period superlattices under applied electric field perpendicular to the layers by room- and low-temperature photocurrent measurements. The changes in the transition intensities with biasing are well fitted to a theoretical calculation based on the finite Kronig-Penney model on which the potential of an applied electric field is superposed. With increasing electric field, the 0h peak grows to a maximum while the -1h and +1h peaks monotonousely decrease. By a comparison of the spectra measured at different temperatures, the two peaks in the room temperature photocurrent spectra at relatively low electric field (1.0 X 10(4) V/cm) are identified to be caused by the Wannier localization effect instead of saddle-point excitons.

DISORDER POINT FOR 2D ELECTRONS IN A HALF-FILLED LANDAU-LEVEL

Short-range correlations of two-dimensional electrons in a strong magnetic field are shown to be triangular in nature well below half-filling, but honeycomb well above half-filling. The half-filling point is thus proposed, and qualitatively confirmed by three-body correlation calculations, to be a new type of disorder point where short-range correlations change character. A wavefunction study also suggests that nodes become unbound at half-filling. Evidence for incompressibility but deformability of the half-filling state earlier suggested by Fano, Ortolani and Tosatti, is also presented and found to be in agreement with recent experiments.

Quantum dot superlattices and their conductance

The one-dimensional energy bands and corresponding conductivities of a T-shaped quantum-dot superlattice are studied in various cases: different periods, with potential barriers between dots, and in transverse electric fields. It is found that the conductivity of the superlattices has a similar energy relation to the conductance of a single quantum dot, but vanishes in the energy gap region. The energy band of a superlattice with periodically modulated conducting width in the perpendicular magnetic field is calculated for comparison with magneto-transport experiments. It is found that due to the edge state effect the electron has strong quantum transport features. The energy gaps change with the width of the channel, corresponding to the deep peaks in the conductance curve. This method of calculating the energy bands of quantum-dot superlattices is applicable to complex geometric structures without substantial difficulty. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

A Compact Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer for the Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard

A compact direct digital frequency synthesizer （DDFS） for system-on-chip implementation of the high precision rubidium atomic frequency standard is developed. For small chip size and low power consumption, the phase to sine mapping data is compressed using sine symmetry technique, sine-phase difference technique, quad line approximation technique,and quantization and error read only memory （QE-ROM） technique. The ROM size is reduced by 98% using these techniques. A compact DDFS chip with 32bit phase storage depth and a 10bit on-chip digital to analog converter has been successfully implemented using a standard 0.35μm CMOS process. The core area of the DDFS is 1.6mm^2. It consumes 167mW at 3.3V,and its spurious free dynamic range is 61dB.

Photoluminescence characteristics of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot arrays fabricated by dry and dry-wet etching

GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot arrays with different dot sizes made by different fabrication processes were studied in this work. In comparison with the reference quantum well, photoluminescence (PL) spectra from the samples at low temperature have demonstrated that PL peak positions shift to higher energy side due to quantization confinement effects and the blue-shift increases with decreasing dot size, PL linewidths are broadened and intensities are much reduced. It is also found that wet chemical etching after reactive ion etching can improve optical properties of the quantum dot arrays.

Topological structure of the many vortices solution in Jackiw-Pi model

By using the gauge potential decomposition, we discuss the self-dual equation and its solution in Jackiw-Pi model. We obtain a new concrete self-dual equation and find relationship between Chern-Simons vortices solution and topological number which is determined by Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees of Psi-mapping. To show the meaning of topological number we give several figures with different topological numbers. In order to investigate the topological properties of many vortices, we use five parameters (two positions, one scale, one phase per vortex and one charge of each vortex) to describe each vortex in many vortices solutions in Jackiw-Pi model. For many vortices, we give three figures with different topological numbers to show the effect of the charge on the many vortices solutions. We also study the quantization of flux of those vortices related to the topological numbers in this case.

New vortex solutions of Jackiw-Pi model

Based on current phi-mapping topological theory, a kind of self-dual equations in Jackiw-Pi model are studied. We first obtain explicit, self-dual solutions that satisfy Liouville equation which contains delta-function. Then we get perfect vortex solutions which reflect the system's internal topological structure, and consequently the quantization of flux.

Topological structure of vortex solution in Jackiw-Pi model

By using phi-mapping method, we discuss the topological structure of the self-duality solution in Jackiw-Pi model in terms of gauge potential decomposition. We set up relationship between Chern-Simons vortex solution and topological number, which is determined by Hopf index and Brouwer degree. We also give the quantization of flux in this case. Then, we study the angular momentum of the vortex, which can be expressed in terms of the flux.

二维无关联振子系统的量子化及能谱中长程关联的理论分析

量子经典对应是人们一直关心的基本问题．早期的WKB量子论及其推广EBK理论分别给出了一维及多维可积系统周期轨道的作用量量子化条件，但是，这些理论都没有明确的给出周期轨道与量子能级之间的对应关系．另一方面，近年来，人们在数值计算中发现量子能谱中存在着与周期轨道有紧密联系的长程关联，但是目前对长程关联的研究大多局限于数值计算，其背后的动力学原因有待进一步的探讨。应用二维无关联振子系统具有的标度不变性，对量子态密度进行Fourier变换，得到二维无关联振子系统的回归函数．另一方面，在有理环面上积分Hamiltonian运动方程，数值计算给出二维无关联四次振子系统的半经典回归谱。对二维无关联四次振子系统的量子回归谱和经典回归谱进行比较，量子和经典回归谱中的峰(显示了能级之间存在着长程关联)的位置大致一定验证了Berry-Tabor求迹公式的有效性。从可积系统的Be：rry-Tabor公式出发，导出了二维可积系统周期轨道作用量量子化条件，考虑有理环面上周期轨道必须满足的周期性条件，找到了量子能级与经典周期轨道之间的对应关系．这一对应关系表明，二维无关联振子系统的一组能级与一组周期轨道之间存在着一一对应关系。这组能级对应的周期轨道具有相同的拓扑，但每条周期轨道对应的系统能量等于它所对应的量子能级。进一步的，我们用二维无关联振子系统的量子经典对应关系去分析量子能谱中的长程关联。分析表明，当二维无关联振子系统回归函数中的作用量取某一系统能量下某一周期轨道的作用量的值时，那些与这一周期轨道拓扑相同的周期轨道对应的量子能级对回归函数的贡献相干。这些具有相同拓扑的周期轨道对应的量子能级间存在着长程关联。

Application of probabilistic neural network in the clinical diagnosis of cancers based on clinical chemistry data

As a recently developed and powerful classification tool, probabilistic neural network was used to distinguish cancer patients from healthy persons according to the levels of nucleosides in human urine. Two datasets (containing 32 and 50 patterns, respectively) were investigated and the total consistency rate obtained was 100% for dataset 1 and 94% for dataset 2. To evaluate the performance of probabilistic neural network, linear discriminant analysis and learning vector quantization network, were also applied to the classification problem. The results showed that the predictive ability of the probabilistic neural network is stronger than the others in this study. Moreover, the recognition rate for dataset 2 can achieve to 100% if combining, these three methods together, which indicated the promising potential of clinical diagnosis by combining different methods.
