Improved Technique of Optical Spectrum Analysis of Real-Time TDDFT Using Maximum Entropy Method
Journal of Computer Chemistry, Japan, 2014
Maximum entropy method (MEM) is one of the key techniques for spectral analysis. The main feature is improving spectral resolution with short time-series data. We adopt MEM to the calculation of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in real time, which is intensively studied and applied to computing optical properties. Usually, the spectrum is obtained from Fourier transform (FT) of the time evolution of the dipole moment. In the spectrum comparison of MEM and FT calculations for several molecules, we realize that MEM provides a similar spectrum to that of FT with almost half of the time evolution. In the MEM analysis, not only the total number of timeseries data, but also the length of the autocorrelation has an important role to obtain the high resolution spectrum. In this paper, we present the effectiveness and characteristic features of MEM, comparing with those of the FT technique in TDDFT.
Estimation of Thundercloud Direction by Horizontal Electric Field Meters
Ieej Transactions on Power and Energy, 2004
The horizontal electric field (E r) contains useful information for estimating position of thundercloud. Unfortunately, it is difficult to detect horizontal electric field (E r) due to electric field component on the earth surface is almost a vertical component. We propose a new idea for horizontal electric field (E r) detection. We developed two types of horizontal electric field meter (HEFM), i.e., a fixed electrode-type and a rotating electrode-type, and evaluated their performance experimentally and found that they have sufficient sensitivity to E r to estimate the direction of thundercloud. In this paper, we present the result of performance evaluation and also present an electric field data measured by HEFMs as examples.
Microwave Discharge Oxygen Ion Source for Ionospheric Plasma Environment Simulation
JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES
In recent years, concern has been raised about the interference phenomena (chemical reaction, sputtering etc.) between ionospheric plasma and high-voltage space systems such as the International Space Station and so on. In order to solve the physical mechanisms of these phenomena and establish the prevention technology, it is important to accumulate experimental data based on ground simulation tests. Therefore we have developed a cathode-less microwave discharge oxygen ion source for an ionospheric plasma simulator. The oxygen ion source for ionospheric plasma simulation demands plasma density more than 10 12 m −3 and high durability (our target is more than 70 hours). This ion source is capable of generating oxygen plasma of the order of 10 14 m −3 for more than 100 hours with 25 W microwave power and 3 sccm oxygen gas. In order to investigate the operational performance of the oxygen ion source, we conduct various measurement tests such as plasma diagnosis using a single probe, ionic mass spectroscopy by a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (QMS), atomic oxygen flux measurement using a silver coated QCM (Quartz Crystal deposition Monitor) and 70 hours operating test etc. This paper reports the experimental results of each measurement tests and assesses performance as an ion source for ionospheric plasma simulator.
