The One

Paraelectric resonance spectra of beryl crystals are observed in the X-band region between 5 and 20 kV/cm under the condition that the external electric field F[101̅0]. Additional dielectric measurements show, that the paraelectric centres are the monomeric water molecules in the beryl cavities. For water dipoles in beryl only two orientations of the molecular a-axis relative to the crystal C6-axis are possible, and only those with their a-axis parallel to the C6-axis contribute to the paraelectric resonance effect. The electric moment vector µ of these latter molecules may rotate in the (0001)-crystal plane, i. e. around their own a-axis, and has a value of (1.9 ± 0.2) D. A theoretical description of paraelectric resonance is presented for a simplified model: the electric dipoles have 6 equivalent equilibrium positions along the [101̅0]-directions, tunnel effect and external electric fields remove the site degeneracy and we observe a molecular Stark splitting. We calculate a value of (2.0 ± 0.4) GHz for the zero-field splitting in the one-parameter Hamiltonian model.

Beamforming Algorithm

A new fast deconvolved beamforming algorithm is proposed in this paper, and it can greatly reduce the computation complexity of the original Richardson–Lucy (R–L algorithm) deconvolution algorithm by utilizing the convolution theorem and the fast Fourier transform technique. This algorithm makes it possible for real-time high-resolution beamforming in a multibeam sonar system. This paper applies the new fast deconvolved beamforming algorithm to a high-frequency multibeam sonar system to obtain a high bearing resolution and low side lobe. In the sounding mode, it restrains the tunnel effect and makes the topographic survey more accurate. In the 2D acoustic image mode, it can obtain clear images, more details, and can better distinguish two close targets. Detailed implementation methods of the fast deconvolved beamforming are given, its computational complexity is analyzed, and its performance is evaluated with simulated and real data.

Basic Equations

<p>Field theory applies to elastodynamics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, gravitation and other similar fields of physics, where the basic equations describing the phenomenon are based on constitutive relations and balance equations. For instance, in elastodynamics, these are the stress-strain relations and the equations of momentum conservation (Euler-Newton law). In these cases, the same mathematical theory can be used, by establishing appropriate mathematical equivalences (or analogies) between material properties and field variables. For instance, the wave equation and the related mathematical developments can be used to describe anelastic and electromagnetic wave propagation, and are extensively used in quantum mechanics. In this work, we obtain the mathematical analogy for the reflection/refraction (transmission) problem of a thin layer embedded between dissimilar media, considering the presence of anisotropy and attenuation/viscosity in the viscoelastic case, conductivity in the electromagnetic case and a potential barrier in quantum physics (the tunnel effect). The analogy is mainly illustrated with geophysical examples of propagation of S (shear), P (compressional), TM (transverse-magnetic) and TE (transverse-electric) waves. The tunnel effect is obtained as a special case of viscoelastic waves at normal incidence.</p>
