We investigate antilocalization due to spin-orbit coupling in ballistic GaAs quantum dots. Antilocalization that is prominent in large dots is suppressed in small dots, as anticipated theoretically. Parallel magnetic fields suppress both antilocalization and also, at larger fields, weak localization, consistent with random matrix theory results once orbital coupling of the parallel field is included. In situ control of spin-orbit coupling in dots is demonstrated as a gate-controlled crossover from weak localization to antilocalization.

Summary form only given. At the University of Maryland, we have been exploring the possibility of using gyroklystrons to drive advanced linear colliders above X-band. We have designed and tested a high-gain four-cavity frequency-doubling system to enable us to use a phase-stable TWT driver. We have also designed an output waveguide system which transforms the power from the output waveguide and equally divides it into two standard WR62 rectangular waveguides. The scheme involves a rippled wall converter to convert the TE/sub 02/ mode to the TE/sub 01/ mode, then a custom converter to produce the TE/sub 20/ mode in the rectangular guide, followed by linear tapers and a standard bifurcation. We hope to use this transport system to energize and test Ku-band accelerator structures. In this paper, we present the experimental results of our four-cavity frequency doubling coaxial gyroklystron. The beam voltage and current are 460 kV and 540 A, respectively, and the applied magnetic field is about 5 kG. The expected interaction efficiency and gain at our design point are 34% and 61 dB, respectively. We also present design and test results for a number of other subsystems. We compare the theoretical calculations with the cold test results for each of the components used in the output waveguide system and present amplitude and phase balance measurements for the two output rectangular waveguides. Finally, we describe efforts to improve beam quality via modifications in emitter design and manufacturing.

The fields radiated from the currents induced on a covered microstrip transmission line by a finite-gap voltage source are presented. The character of these radiated fields has been examined in detail as the frequency is varied. It is shown that there is a smooth transition in the total radiation field from the spectral-gap region at lower frequencies to higher frequencies where a physical leaky mode exists. A characteristic leakage beam develops gradually as the frequency increases. When the leakage beam first develops, the observed radiation angle is greater than that predicted by the leaky mode alone. Crosstalk radiation can be significant even before the leaky mode becomes physical.

It has been found that remarkably severe spurious effects can occur in the current excited on microstrip line at moderate to high frequency, when the strip is wide (w/h > 3). This newly observed effect occurs because one or more leaky modes approaches the branch point at k/sub 0/ in the complex longitudinal wavenumber plane. This effect only occurs when the strip is wide. This effect can be disastrous, since the continuous-spectrum part of the current then decays very slowly with distance from the source, so that the total strip current excited by the source exhibits spurious oscillations out to very large distances from the source. An approximate design rule for predicting this effect is given, which is accurate for wide strips (w/h > 6).

An acceleration element is proposed for compressing the electron pulse duration in a femtosecond photoelectron gun. The element is a compact metal cavity with curved-shaped walls. An external voltage is applied to the cavity where a special electric field forms in such a way that the slow electrons in the electron pulse front are accelerated more than the fast electrons, and consequently the electron pulse duration will be compressed. The distribution of the electric field inside the acceleration cavity is analyzed for the geometry of the cavity. The electron dynamics in this acceleration cavity is also investigated numerically. Numerical results show that the electron pulse front and pulse duration can be improved by compensating for the effects of space charge and the initial energy spread of photoelectrons with a Lambertian angular distribution. Depending on the design parameters and the shape of the electron pulse, for a femtosecond electron gun with an electron energy of 30 keV, 103 electrons per pulse, and an electron drift length of 40 cm, the electron pulse duration can be reduced from 550 to 200 fs when using a compensating cavity with an average radius of 1.7 and 5.6 cm in length. Electron pulses shorter than 200 fs can be achieved if the length of the drift region is reduced.

Strong evidence of a single-photon tunneling effect, a direct analog of single-electron tunneling, has been obtained in the measurements of light tunneling through individual subwavelength pinholes in a gold film covered with a layer of polydiacetylene. The transmission of some pinholes reached saturation because of the optical nonlinearity of polydiacetylene at a very low light intensity of a few thousand photons per second. This result is explained theoretically in terms of a “photon blockade,” similar to the Coulomb blockade phenomenon observed in single-electron tunneling experiments. Single-photon tunneling may find applications in the fields of quantum communication and information processing.

The evolution of the state-of-knowledge of system regarding the time-varying state of a particle in the two-body problem is deterministically treated in classical mechanics where no uncertainties in initial conditions or acting forces are assumed. When such uncertainties exist, a Fokker-Planck equation can be formulated that describes the propagation in time of the probability density of possible positions and velocities of a particle. Both dissipative and dispersive forces can be present. This approach allows one to infer the coordinates of a particle in phase space as a function of time (both past and future) subject to acknowledged uncertainties. The Fokker-Planck equation is derived from knowledge of both the deterministic equations of motion and the probability distributions of acting forces. In the absence of uncertainties in acting forces, there are three conserved quantities that correspond to energy, total angular momentum, and the component of angular momentum in the direction of the rotation of the larger body (taken as the earth). The solutions for several cases are discussed. In the first case, gravity is absent while dispersive forces are present. An exact solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is given for this case. In a second case, gravity is present while dispersive forces are not. Here, the solution is time-independent, i.e., a conserved quantity and hence can be normalized. In a third case, both gravity and dispersive effects are present. A solution is derived through a perturbation of the functional corresponding to the exponentiated system energy. The perturbation solution is about the first-order moments of the energy function and thus is a temporal perturbation of the maximum entropy equilibrium distribution.
