In 2004, Das et al. proposed a dynamic ID-based remote user authentication scheme. Their scheme allows users to select and update their passwords freely, and the server needs not maintain a verifier table. In this paper, we show that their scheme is not secure. Though there are several improvement schemes proposed to fix the flaws. However, we show that all improvement schemes have deficiency on dynamic merit. Finally, we propose an improvement scheme to enhance the security. The improvement scheme has dynamic merit such that adversary cannot trace the users.

Tailoring details of thermal processing, including controlled heating rates and annealing time, plays a key role in the enhancement of soft magnetic properties of amorphous and nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials. In particular, rapid thermal processing also known as flash annealing has shown potential for grain size refinement, tailoring of phase identity, and tuning of magnetic properties. This work explores the differences between conventional furnace annealing and isothermal annealing with flash annealing techniques for a range of detailed thermal processing conditions (temperature, time, cooling method) in an FeNi-based alloy. As compared to conventional annealing, flash annealing results in dominant FCC γ FeNi phase with refined grains. Microstructural refinement due to flash annealing showed improved soft magnetic properties with reduced coercivity and improved ductility for improved core manufacturing at scale.

In this work we present a comprehensive framework for the analysis and design of vector holographic metasurfaces (VHMS). The term vector refers to the metasurface ability to manipulate the polarization of the scattered wave, while holographic refers to the configuration of the metasurface aperture, which can have any arbitrary complex profile in its equivalent surface impedance (phase and/or magnitude). We start from the presentation of the analysis of such VHMS, i.e., the calculation of its scattering under given equivalent surface impedance configuration and illumination; the analysis relies on physical optics and can, in theory, model the scattering and diffraction by a finite-aperture metasurface of arbitrary convex shape under arbitrary spatially coherent wavefront illumination. We then present the VHMS design and synthesis procedure, i.e., we compute its equivalent and physical configuration, when given the illuminating wavefront and the desired scattering response or functionality, e.g., beam steering or focusing. For the synthesis, we use a simple scalable unit cell topology incorporating square conductor patches interconnected with lumped complex loads; these can locally and continuously tune the VHMS phase and amplitude response, with independent control over both polarizations, thus allowing arbitrary incident-to-scattered wavefront transformations. These versatile devices, especially when fused with wavefront sensing capabilities, can be used in applications spanning wireless communications (e.g., beamforming, integrated/joint sensing and communication, or programmable wireless environments), radar scattering (e.g., stealth), and holography/imaging.

Optical anisotropy of hexagonal Ga1−xMnxN (x from 0.0% to 1.5%) epitaxial films grown on c-plane sapphire substrates has been investigated using far- and mid-infrared s- and p-polarized reflectance spectra at oblique incidence (at 10°, 22°, and 32°, respectively). The experimental data at room temperature can be well reproduced simultaneously in the measured frequency region of 200–2000cm−1 (5–50μm), which was based on a four-phase layered system using a 4×4 matrix method [M. Schubert, Phys. Rev. B 53, 4265 (1996)]. The lattice vibrations perpendicular and parallel to the optic c axis (E1 and A1 modes) were expressed by Lorentz oscillator dielectric function model. There was a striking absorption dip at the A1 phonon frequency in p-polarized reflectance spectra due to the optical anisotropy. These infrared-active phonon parameters were obtained with uniaxial dielectric tensor. It was found that the A1 longitudinal-optical phonon frequency linearly increases with the Mn composition for the diluted magnetic semiconductor epilayers. The broadening values of the A1 phonon changed from 3.6 (±1.3) to 9.0 (±1.6)cm−1, showing the high film crystal quality. Moreover, the ordinary and extraordinary dielectric functions ε⊥ and ε‖ of the epilayers were determined. It indicated that ε‖ was larger than ε⊥ for the Ga1−xMnxN films in the reststrahlen region, which can be ascribed to slight structural degradation of the wurtzite lattice.
Two layer anti-reflection coatings (Air/SiO 2 /HfSiO/substrate. vs Air/SiO 2 /Hf-SiO 2 nanolaminates/substrate) were tested with p-polarized 77 fs 1030 nm laser pulses. Damage threshold fluence of the sample with nan...
