With the help of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we study the electron dynamics in radiation pressure acceleration of a mass-limited foil *** a mass-limited foil is irradiated by a circularly polarized laser pulse, the wing parts of the laser overtake the foil from the foil *** the laser propagation direction, electrons are significantly accelerated by the laser radiation *** the laser polarization direction, electrons are subjected to a strong radial space-charge force and oscillate in the overtaking laser *** their combined actions, electrons execute a betatron-like oscillation and a spatially helix electron bunch is thus formed.A simple analytical model is proposed for interpreting the high electron energies and large oscillating *** is shown that, when the electron oscillation frequency coincides with the laser frequency as witnessed by the electron, betatron-like resonance occurs, resulting in hundreds of MeV electron generation.

Designers of micro air vehicles (MAVs) are currently looking to biological flight to address the technical challenges of low Reynolds number fliers. These challenges include the aerodynamics of transitional flow, flight vehicle resilience to gusty environments, lightweight design, and propulsion. Recent biological observations and high-fidelity computations indicate that deformable membrane wing airfoils may offer an engineering solution to these design issues, and that the existence of membrane flexibility may enable and enhance the thrust production of flapping wings in low Reynolds number flows. To this end, the unsteady aerodynamic and aeroelastic responses of a two-dimensional membrane airfoil under prescribed harmonic motions are investigated computationally with a well-validated, robust, sixth-order Navier-Stokes solver coupled to a nonlinear membrane structural model. The effects of membrane prestress and elasticity are examined parametrically for selected plunge and pitch-plunge motions at a chord-based Reynolds number of 2500. The importance of inertial membrane loads resulting from the prescribed flapping is also assessed for pure plunging motions. This study compares the period-averaged aerodynamic loads of flexible versus rigid membrane airfoils and highlights the vortex structures and salient fluid-membrane interactions that enable more efficient flapping thrust production in low Reynolds number flows.

We investigate the quantum dynamics of an experimentally realized spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential. The spin-orbit coupling can significantly enhance the atomic interwell tunneling. We find the coexistence of internal and external Josephson effects in the system, which are moreover inherently coupled in a complicated form even in the absence of interatomic interactions. Moreover, we show that the spin-dependent tunneling between two wells can induce a net atomic spin current referred as spin Josephson effects. Such spin Josephson effects can be observable under realistic conditions.

Motivated by models of human decision making, we consider a heuristic solution for explore-exploit problems. In a numerical example we show that, with appropriate parameter values, the algorithm performs well. However, the parameters of the algorithm trade off exploration against exploitation in a complicated way so that finding the optimal parameter values is not obvious. We show that the optimal parameter values can be analytically computed in some cases and prove that suboptimal parameter tunings can provide robustness to modeling error. The analytic results suggest a feedback control law for dynamically optimizing parameters.

By molecular dynamics simulations employing an embedded atom method potential, we have investigated structural transformations in single crystal A1 caused by uniaxial strain loading along the [001], [011] and [111] directions. We find that the structural transition is strongly dependent on the crystal orientations. The entire structure phase transition only occurs when loading along the [001] direction, and the increased amplitude of temperature for [001] loading is evidently lower than that for other orientations. The morphology evolutions of the structural transition for [011] and [111] loadings are analysed in detail. The results indicate that only 20% of atoms transit to the hcp phase for [011] and [111] loadings, and the appearance of the hcp phase is due to the partial dislocation moving forward on {lll}fcc family. For [011] loading, the hcp phase grows to form laminar morphology in four planes, which belong to the {111}fcc family; while for [111] loading, the hcp phase grows into a laminar structure in three planes, which belong to the {111}fcc family except for the (111) plane. In addition, the phase transition is evaluated by using the radial distribution functions.

We investigate cesium (Cs) adsorption on graphene formed on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study. Individual Cs atoms adsorb preferentially at the rim region of the well-defined 6×6 substrate superstructure and on multilayer graphene. By finely controlling the graphene thickness and Cs coverages (1/3 ML and 1 ML), we here demonstrate two intriguing and well-ordered Cs superlattices on bilayer and multilayer graphene (<6 layers). Statistical analysis of the Cs-Cs interatomic distance reveals a hitherto unobserved Cs-Cs long-range electrostatic potential caused by charge transfer from Cs to graphene, which couples with the inhomogeneous substrate potential to stabilize the observed Cs superlattices. The present study provides a new avenue to fabricate atomic and molecular superlattices for applications in high-density recording and data storage.

We measure photoelectron angular distributions of single ionization of krypton and xenon atoms by laser pulses at 1320 nm, 0.2–1.0×1014 W/cm2, and observe that the yield of near-zero-momentum electrons in the strong-field tunneling ionization regime is significantly suppressed. Semiclassical simulations indicate that this local ionization suppression effect can be attributed to a fraction of the tunneled electrons that are released in a certain window of the initial field phase and transverse velocity are ejected into Rydberg elliptical orbits with a frequency much smaller than that of the laser; i.e., the corresponding atoms are stabilized. These electrons with high-lying atomic orbits are thus prevented from ionization, resulting in the substantially reduced near-zero-momentum electron yield. The refined transition between the Rydberg states of the stabilized atoms has implication on the THz radiation from gas targets in strong laser fields.
