    摘要: Bio-compatible Au nanoparticles exhibit great advantages in the application of biomedical researches, such as bio-sensing, medical diagnosis, and cancer therapy. Bio-molecules can even be manipulated by laser tweezers with the optically trapped Au nanoparticles as handles. In this Letter, optical scattering torque arising from the coupled Au nanoparticles driven by circularly polarized light is theoretically presented. The coupled plasmon resonance modes boost the angular momentum transfer from photons to the Au nanoparticle dimers and trimers through light scattering, which does not bring any optical-heating side effect. The generated optical torques on the nanostructures highly depend on the plasmon coupling in the structures. The angular momentum transfer efficiencies from scattered photons to nanostructures can reach around 200\%. The results suggest that coupled plasmonic nanoparticle oligomers are promising candidates to construct optically driven rotary nanomotors that can be applied in biomedical applications.

    摘要: The key to large-scale parallel solutions of deterministic particle transport problem is single-node computation performance. Hence, single-node computation is often parallelized on multi-core or many-core computer architectures. However, the number of on-chip cores grows quickly with the scale-down of feature size in semiconductor technology. In this paper, we present a scalability investigation of one energy group time-independent deterministic discrete ordinates neutron transport in 3D Cartesian geometry (Sweep3D) on Intels Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture, which can provide up to 62 cores with four hardware threads per core now and will own up to 72 in the future. The parallel programming model, OpenMP, and vector intrinsic functions are used to exploit thread parallelism and vector parallelism for the discrete ordinates method, respectively. The results on a 57-core MIC coprocessor show that the implementation of Sweep3D on MIC has good scalability in performance. In addition, the application of the Roofline model to assess the implementation and performance comparison between MIC and Tesla K20C Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) are also reported.

    摘要: Benefiting from their low-loss light manipulation at subwavelength scales, optically resonant dielectric nanostructures have emerged as one of the most promising nanophotonic building blocks. Here, we theoretically conceive a dielectric nanocavity made of moderate-refractive-index gallium nitride and investigate the strong electromagnetic field confinement inside the nanocavity. We demonstrate that gallium nitride nanodisks can support anapole states, which result from interference between electric dipole and toroidal dipole modes and are tunable by changing sizes of the nanodisks. The highly confined electromagnetic field of the anapole states can promote the emission efficiency of a single quantum emitter inside the nanocavity. Moreover, the emission polarization can be tuned by placing the quantum emitter off the nanodisk center. Our findings provide a promising candidate for the construction of ultra-compact, super-radiative integrated quantum light sources.

    摘要: The solar flare is one of the most violent explosions, and can disturb the near-Earth space weather. Except for commonly single-peaked solar flares in soft X-ray, some special flares show intriguing a two-peak feature that is deserved much more attentions. Here, we reported a confined two-peaked solar flare and analyzed the associated eruptions using high-quality observations from Educational Adaptive-optics Solar Telescope and Solar Dynamics Observatory. Before the flare, a magnetic flux rope (MFR) formed through partially tether-cutting reconnection between two sheared arches. The flare occurred after the MFR eruption that was confined by the overlying strong field. Interestingly, a small underlying filament immediately erupted, which was possibly destabilized by the flare ribbon. The successive eruptions were confirmed by the analysis of the emission measure and the reconnection fluxes. Therefore, we suggest that the two peaks of the confined solar flare are corresponding to two episodes of magnetic reconnection during the successive eruptions of the MFR and the underlying filament.

  • The deformation of an erupting magnetic flux rope in a confined solar flare

    摘要: Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs), sets of coherently twisted magnetic field lines, are believed as core structures of various solar eruptions. Their evolution plays an important role to understand the physical mechanisms of solar eruptions, and can shed light on adverse space weather near the Earth. However, the erupting MFRs are occasionally prevented by strong overlying magnetic fields, and the MFR evolution during the descending phase in the confined cases is lack of attention. Here, we present the deformation of an erupting MFR accompanied by a confined double-peaked solar flare. The first peak corresponded to the MFR eruption in a standard flare model, and the second peak was closely associated with the flashings of an underlying sheared arcade (SA), the reversal slipping motion of the L-shaped flare ribbon, the falling of the MFR, and the shifting of top of filament threads. All results suggest that the confined MFR eruption involved in two-step magnetic reconnection presenting two distinct episodes of energy release in the flare impulsive phase, and the latter magnetic reconnection between the confined MFR and the underlying SA caused the deformation of MFR.
