Segregation and pattern formation is investigated for binary mixtures of granular magnetic spheres in a vertically vibrated monolayer. The spheres, all of equal mass and size, have a maximum surface magnetic field B induced by encased cylindrical magnetic cores of length l. For binary mixtures of particles with equal l but different B, we find that the particles spontaneously segregate when driven. For fixed vibration frequency, the segregation rate increases roughly linearly with driving acceleration over the amplitudes investigated. For systems of fixed particle number density, the rate of segregation also decreases as the volume fraction of “strong” (high B) particles increases. We find that segregation also occurs in binary mixtures of particles with equal B, but different l. Finally, using a simple model of spheres with dipolar and higher magnetic moments, we show that the observed segregation phenomena occur in conjunction with a decrease in magnetic energy.

Triple-layer omni-directional reflectors (ODRs) consisting of a semiconductor, a transparent quarter-wavelength dielectric layer and metal layer have high reflectivities at all angles of incidence. In this paper, triple-layer ODRs are demonstrated that incorporate nanoporous SiO/sub 2/, a novel low-refractive-index (low-n) material with refractive indices n /spl Lt/ 1.46 as well as dense SiO/sub 2/ (n = 1.46). GaP and Ag serve as the semiconductor and metal layer materials, respectively. An angle-integrated transverse electric (TE) mode reflectivity of R/sub avg/|/sub TE/ = 99.9 % and transverse magnetic (TM) mode reflectivity R/sub avg/|/sub TM/ = 98.9 % are calculated for the triple-layer ODRs employing nanoporous SiO/sub 2/. Reflectivity measurements, including the angular dependence of R, are presented. Novel hybrid ODRs consisting of semiconductor, a several micron thick low-n dielectric material layer, a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and metal layer have outstanding reflectivities for all incident angles. GaP and Ag serve as the semiconductor and metal layer, respectively. Nanoporous SiO/sub 2/ is used as the low-n material. TiO/sub 2/ and dense SiO/sub 2/ serve as the DBR materials. The angle-intergrated reflectivities of the TE and TM modes are calculated to be larger than 99.9% for the hybrid ODRs. The results indicate the great potential of the ODRs for light-emitting diodes with high light extraction efficiency.

With the proliferation of inexpensive cameras, availability of large-capacity disk storage, and the ubiquitous presence of high-speed, broad-band communication networks, it is now economically and technically feasible to construct and deploy multi-camera video surveillance systems. In line with this is the need of intelligent, robust, (semi-)automated video analysis paradigms to assist the operators in scene analysis and event classification. In this paper, we summarize our current research work toward realizing such a multi-camera video surveillance system.

We consider a ring of identical or near-identical coupled periodic oscillators in which the connections have randomly heterogeneous strength. We use the master stability function method to determine the possible patterns at the desynchronization transition that occurs as the coupling strengths are increased. We demonstrate Anderson localization of the modes of instability and show that such localized instability generates waves of desynchronization that spread to the whole array. Similar results should apply to other networks with regular topology and heterogeneous connection strengths.

Accurate determination of carrier densities in ferromagnetic semiconductors by Hall measurements is hindered by the anomalous Hall effect , and thus alternative methods are being sought. Here, we propose that cyclotron resonance (CR) is an excellent method for carrier density determination for InMnAs-based magnetic structures. We develop a theory for electronic and magneto-optical properties in narrow gap InMnAs films and superlattices in ultrahigh magnetic fields oriented along [001]. In n-type InMnAs films and superlattices, we find that the e-active CR peak field is pinned at low electron densities and then begins to shift rapidly to higher fields above a critical electron concentration allowing the electron density to be accurately calibrated. In p-type InMnAs, we observe two h-active CR peaks due to heavy and light holes. The line shapes depend on temperature and line broadening. The light hole CR requires higher hole densities and fields. Analyzing CR line shapes in p-films and superlattices can help determine hole densities.

In this paper, the working principle of an acoustic chromatography device is investigated by the analytical and finite element modeling (FEM) approach. Analytical and simulation results, compared to the inteferometric scan and the experimental results, confirm that the inertial field due to the flexural waves on the capillary has the major role for manipulation of particles. Disagreement between phase velocity from the simple beam bending solution and experiments at high frequencies are also discussed.
