Transformation Optics for Controlling DC Magnetic Field

Sun, Fei January 2014 (has links)
Based on the form-invariant of Maxwell’s equations under coordinate transformations, we extend the theoryof transformation optics to transformation magneto-statics, which can design magnets through coordinatetransformations. Some novel DC magnetic field illusions created by magnets (e.g. rescaling magnets,cancelling magnets and overlapping magnets) are designed and verified by numerical simulations. Ourresearch will open a new door to designing magnets and controlling DC magnetic fields. / <p>QC 20141105</p>

Experimental advances toward a compact dual-species laser cooling apparatus

Ladouceur, Keith 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis describes the advances made towards a dual-species magneto-optical trap (MOT) of Li and Rb for use in photoassociation spectroscopy, Feshbach resonance studies, and, as long-term aspirations, the formation of ultracold heteronuclear polar molecules. The initial discussion will focus on a brief theoretical overview of laser cooling and trapping and the production of ultracold molecules from a cold atom source. Subsequently, details of the experimental system, including those pertaining to the required laser light, the vacuum chamber, and the computer control system will be presented. Finally, preliminary optimization and characterization measurements showing the performance of a single species Li MOT are introduced. These measurements demonstrated the loading of over 8 x 107 Li atoms directly into a MOT without the need for a Zeeman slower.

Desta forma, a classe de condutores moleculares (TMTTF)2X (onde TMTTF é tetrametiltetratiafuvaleno e X é um contra-ânion) desempenha um papel sistemático e fundamental no estudo de tais aspectos de correlação. Nesta tese de mestrado, os materiais de interesse foram o (TMTTF)2PF6-H12 e o (TMTTF)2PF6-D12, onde uma anomalia na constante dielétrica diferente para os dois sais foi observada na transição ferroelétrica de Mott-Hubbard através de medidas de constante dielétrica quasi-estática no eixo c* (contribuição iônica) e o comportamento tipo relaxor da variante hidrogenada foi analisado com base na teoria de campo médio. Uma revisão de transições de fase clássicas e quânticas também foi realizada com o objetivo de estudar o chamado efeito magneto-calórico para o modelo do paramagneto de Brillouin (o parâmetro de Grüneisen magnético), que é uma grandeza Física única e poderosa para detectar experimentalmente uma transição de fase quântica induzida por campo magnético em um sistema real. Ainda, um estudo comparativo entre as fases delta (hexagonal) e delta' (tetragonal) da liga binária FeSe1-x foi realizado e monocristais foram sintetizados utilizando o método de síntese de estado sólido visando atingir a fase delta. / The phenomenon of superconductivity is currently one of the most relevant topics in Solid State Physics, making strongly correlated systems a very highattractive topic due to the possibility of studying the fundamental aspects of the electron-electron interaction that are the core of superconductivity. Thus, the class of molecular conductors (TMTTF)2X (where TMTTF is tetramethyltetrathiafuvalene and X is a counter-anion) plays a systematic and fundamental role to study such correlation aspects. In this Master Thesis, the materials of interest were the (TMTTF)2PF6-H12 and (TMTTF)2PF6-D12, where a different dielectric anomaly at the Mott-Hubbard ferroelectric transition was observed for the two salts and the relaxor behavior of the hydrogenated variant was analysed based on the mean-field theory. A review of classical and quantum phase transitions was performed aiming to study the so-called magneto-caloric effect (the magnetic Grüneisen parameter) for the Brillouin paramagnet model, which is a powerful and unique physical quantity to experimentally detect a quantum phase transition induced by magnetic field in a real system. Also, a comparative study between the (hexagonal) and (tetragonal) phases of the binary alloy FeSe1-x was performed and single-crystals were synthesized employing the solid-state reaction method in order to achieve the phase.

Efeitos de raios de larmor finitos nas instabilidades por temperatura iônica anisotrópica em plasmas inomogêneos de alto beta

Goedert, Joao January 1979 (has links)
A partir da teoria híbrida cinética foi, recentemente, deduzida uma equação de autovalores para as perturbações eletromagnéticas de frequências w~wci em o-pinches não colisionais e anisotrópicos na temperatura de íons. Esta equação é aqui reduzida a duas equações diferenciais ordinárias, de segunda ordem e homogêneas, mediante uma expansão do raio de larmor do íons térmicos. O termo de ordem zero desta expansão reproduz a relação de dispersão para plasmas homogêneos anisotrópicos enquanto que o termo de ordem e2 (primeira correção não nula) contém, entre outras, ressonâncias de Cherenkov, as quais não compareciam no tratamento homogêneo; mostra-se que estas ressonâncias acontecem para velocidades ~vin/BiII e números de onda típicos dos modos instáveis no caso homogêneo o que ressalta a importância do efeito na estabilidade dos modos íon-ciclotrônicos de Alfvén. O mecanismo físico de base para este fenômeno é discutido e apontado como um efeito FLR de maior importância. Para um plasma encerrado num cilindro perfeitamente condutor são estabelecidos condições de contorno que refletem a existência de relação de dispersão global. Deduz-se ainda uma relação de dispersão local, válida para meios fracamente inomogêneos e que é analisada numericamente revelando substancial redução das razões de crescimento previstas pelo tratamento homogêneo. / From hybrid-kinetic theory an eigenvalue equation for electromagnetic perturbations with w~wci in collisionless theta-pinches with anisotropic ion energy was recently derived. In the present work this equation is reduced to two ordinary second order linear differential equations by an expansion in the thermal ion Larmor radius. The zeroth order expression yields the usual dispersion relation for anisotropic homogeneous plasmas whereas the second order terms (first significant correction) contain Cherenkov resonances, absent in the former treatment, which are reached for speeds ~viII/biII and wavenumbers typical of unstable modes in the homo geneus case, indicating this importance on the stability of modes driven by ion energy anisotropy. These equations are supplemented by appropriate boundary conditions for the case when the plasma is surrounded by a perfectly conducting cylindrical wall. The physical mechanics underlying the influence of Cherenkov resonance parallel to the confining magnetic field as a FLR effect on stability behavior is illustrated. For weak inhomogeneities a local dispersion relation is obtained and numerically analyzed to show significant reduction of growth rate as compared to the homogeneous.

Laser Cooling and Trapping of Neutral Strontium for Spectroscopic Measurements of Casimir-Polder Potentials

Cook, Eryn 10 April 2018 (has links)
Casimir and Casimir-Polder effects are forces between electrically neutral bodies and particles in vacuum, arising entirely from quantum fluctuations. The modification to the vacuum electromagnetic-field modes imposed by the presence of any particle or surface can result in these mechanical forces, which are often the dominant interaction at small separations. These effects play an increasingly critical role in the operation of micro- and nano-mechanical systems as well as miniaturized atomic traps for precision sensors and quantum-information devices. Despite their fundamental importance, calculations present theoretical and numeric challenges, and precise atom-surface potential measurements are lacking in many geometric and distance regimes. The spectroscopic measurement of Casimir-Polder-induced energy level shifts in optical-lattice trapped atoms offers a new experimental method to probe atom-surface interactions. Strontium, the current front-runner among optical frequency metrology systems, has demonstrated characteristics ideal for such precision measurements. An alkaline earth atom possessing ultra-narrow intercombination transitions, strontium can be loaded into an optical lattice at the “magic” wavelength where the probe transition is unperturbed by the trap light. Translation of the lattice will permit controlled transport of tightly-confined atomic samples to well-calibrated atom- surface separations, while optical transition shifts serve as a direct probe of the Casimir-Polder potential. We have constructed a strontium magneto-optical trap (MOT) for future Casimir-Polder experiments. This thesis will describe the strontium apparatus, initial trap performance, and some details of the proposed measurement procedure.

Desarrollo Sistema de Control para Disipador Magneto Reológico en Pasarela Peatonal

Barra Fuentes, Pablo Andrés January 2007 (has links)
Las vibraciones excesivas en generan incomodidad en sus ocupantes y son inconvenientes para equipos sensibles al movimiento. Es por ello que se han desarrollado diversos métodos para evitarlas o disminuirlas. En este trabajo se aborda la solución a problemas de vibración en una pasarela peatonal mediante la aplicación de un sistema de disipación de energía de carácter semi-activo. El disipador semi-activo utilizado consiste en un disipador de masa sintonizada de 1GDL que incluye un amortiguador magneto reológico. Éste último puede variar sus propiedades de amortiguamiento dependiendo de un voltaje aplicado. Se realizaron estudios experimentales para caracterizar el comportamiento no lineal de un amortiguador magneto reológico. Fue desarrollado un modelo del amortiguador en lógica difusa, método conocido por su poca dificultad para abordar problemas no lineales. Como principal diferencia con respecto a trabajos anteriores, este trabajo se enfoca principalmente a analizar la reducción de la respuesta de una pasarela peatonal al aplicar un sistema de control desarrollado para un modelo de 2 GDL de la pasarela y el disipador de masa sintonizada de características magneto reológicas. El objetivo principal fue aprovechar al máximo la variabilidad de las propiedades de un amortiguador magneto reológico, y ver si se podía mejorar la respuesta con respecto al caso pasivo, estudiado en trabajos anteriores. Como resultado final se obtuvo una reducción de un 66 % para la principal carga peatonal considerada, cuya magnitud fue condicionada por los límites de desplazamiento y velocidad del modelo del amortiguador magneto reológico desarrollado en lógica difusa.
