Resonant Tunneling through S- and U-shaped Graphene Nanoribbons
We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped
nanostructured graphene nanoribbons. A rich structure of resonant tunneling
peaks are found eminating from different quasi-bound states in the middle
region. The tunneling current can be turned on and off by varying the Fermi
energy. Tunability of resonant tunneling is realized by changing the width of
the left and/or right leads and without the use of any external gates.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
The simplification of fuzzy control algorithm and hardware implementation
The conventional interface composition algorithm of a fuzzy controller is very time and memory consuming. As a result, it is difficult to do real time fuzzy inference, and most fuzzy controllers are realized by look-up tables. Here, researchers derive a simplified algorithm using the defuzzification mean of maximum. This algorithm takes shorter computation time and needs less memory usage, thus making it possible to compute the fuzzy inference on real time and easy to tune the control rules on line. A hardware implementation based on a simplified fuzzy inference algorithm is described
Exact Solutions to Sourceless Charged Massive Scalar Field Equation on Kerr-Newman Background
The separated radial part of a sourceless massive complex scalar field
equation on the Kerr-Newman black hole background is shown to be a generalized
spin-weighted spheroidal wave equation of imaginary number order. While the
separated angular part is an ordinary spheroidal wave equation. General exact
solutions in integral forms and in power series expansion as well as several
special solutions with physical interest are given for the radial equation in
the non-extreme case. In the extreme case, power series solution to the radial
equation is briefly studied. Recurrence relations between coefficients in power
series expansion of general solutions and connection between the radial
equation are discussed in both cases.Comment: 22 Pages, in LaTex, no figure, to appear in J. Math. Phy

Filtering for uncertain 2-D discrete systems with state delays
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Elsevier Ltd.This paper is concerned with the problem of robust H∞ filtering for two-dimensional (2-D) discrete systems with time-delays in states. The 2-D systems under consideration are described in terms of the well-known Fornasini–Marchesini local state-space (FMLSS) models with time-delays. Our attention is focused on the design of a full-order filter such that the filtering error system is guaranteed to be asymptotically stable with a prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation performance. Sufficient conditions for the existence of desired filters are established by using a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, and the corresponding filter design problem is then cast into a convex optimization problem that can be efficiently solved by resorting to some standard numerical software. Furthermore, the obtained results are extended to more general cases where the system matrices contain either polytopic or norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.This work was partially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (60504008), Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University of China and the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China (20060390231)

MHD-RLC discharge model and the efficiency characteristics of plasma synthetic jet actuator
Major factors affecting efficiency of plasma synthetic jet actuator (PSJA) are analyzed based on a new discharge model in the present paper. The model couples the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with the resistor–inductor–capacitor (RLC) equations, and is able to resolve the time-dependent voltage fall on the sheath region and arc region, which is critical in analyzing energy loss in the heating process. This model is integrated into the commercial CFD software by a two-equation method. Results show that in a typical capacitive discharge at microsecond scale, the maximum energy loss is the sheath energy loss, which accounts for nearly half of the discharge energy, while the radiation loss is less than 5%. The discharge time is an important parameter for the PSJA efficiency. A short discharge time less than 1 μs will effectively reduce the sheath energy loss, while a longer discharge time will decrease the thermodynamic efficiency
Far-infrared measurements of oxygen-doped polycrystalline La2CuO4.0315 superconductor under slow-cooled and fast-cooled conditions
We have studied the far-infrared (far-IR) charge dynamics of an equilibrated
pure oxygen doped La2CuO4+0.0315 under slow-cooled and fast-cooled conditions.
The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) for the slow-cooled and that
for the fast-cooled processes were respectively found to be close to the two
intrinsic Tc's: One at 30 K and the other at 15 K. Direct comparison with our
previous results and other far-IR and Raman studies on single crystalline
La2-xSrxCuO4, we conclude that the topology of the pristine electronic phases
that are responsible for the two intrinsic Tc's is holes arranged into
two-dimensional (2D) square lattices.Comment: Submitted to PR
