简介:背叛graphene比graphene有更重要的实际意义。银nanoparticles能修改背叛graphene的光性质。我们在场此处,关于在石头威尔士(SW)的量电浆子的协调回声的详细理论分析背叛了由使用时间依赖者密度的graphene银nanowire混血儿系统功能的理论。协调效果主要是的电浆子归因于在石头威尔士之间联合背叛graphene和银nanowires的电磁的地。作为结果,混合系统的光反应展出显著改进。电浆子回声,取决于极化并且可选的调节,在宽频率区域被提高。而且,它表明一个光吸收系列的回声频率取决于SW的空格配置在混合系统的背叛graphene。这调查提供在一台基于graphene的光电的设备使用的电浆子改进效果的更好的理解。学习也提供检测在graphene存在的缺点的一个有效工具。
简介:我们为创造在在超导的流动qubit附近放的二个分开的氮空缺中心旋转整体之间的宏观的纠缠的协调状态建议一个潜在地实际的计划。通过集体磁性的联合并且在里面流动qubit的situtunability,旋转整体的任意的纠缠的协调状态能从流动qubit和旋转整体的decoherence在影响下面与高成功可能性被完成。试验性的可行性和挑战用当前可得到的技术被认为正当。
