Actively controlling the topological transition of dispersion based on electrically controllable metamaterials
Topological transition of the iso-frequency contour (IFC) from a closed
ellipsoid to an open hyperboloid, will provide unique capabilities for
controlling the propagation of light. However, the ability to actively tune
these effects remains elusive and the related experimental observations are
highly desirable. Here, tunable electric IFC in periodic structure which is
composed of graphene/dielectric multilayers is investigated by tuning the
chemical potential of graphene layer. Specially, we present the actively
controlled transportation in two kinds of anisotropic zero-index media
containing PEC/PMC impurities. At last, by adding variable capacitance diodes
into two-dimensional transmission-line system, we present the experimental
demonstration of the actively controlled magnetic topological transition of
dispersion based on electrically controllable metamaterials. With the increase
of voltage, we measure the different emission patterns from a point source
inside the structure and observe the phase-transition process of IFCs. The
realization of actively tuned topological transition will opens up a new avenue
in the dynamical control of metamaterials.Comment: 21 pages,8 figure
A Study of Single-vendor and Multiple-retailers Pricing-Ordering Strategy under Group-Buying Online Auction
The supplier and buyers, with different objectives and self-interest, are separate economic entities acting independently and opportunistically to maximize their individual profits. In this paper, a GBA model in the B2B market is studied, where one supplier faces 2 different retailers, who cooperate in the order decision making. Firstly, the optimal ordering decision of the retailers was analyzed. Then, from the perspective of the supplier, the optimal pricing strategy of the supplier is also studied. Finally, it is concluded that the group buying online auction is a useful and efficient pricing mechanism in the B2B e-market, under which, all members of the supply chain will improve their payoffs
