Under the “weak phase object” approximation, the component of the electron wave scattered by an object is phase shifted by π/2 with respect to the unscattered component. This phase shift has been confirmed for thin carbon films by many experiments dealing with image contrast and the contrast transfer theory. There is also an additional phase shift which is a function of the atomic number of the scattering atom. This shift is negligible for light atoms such as carbon, but becomes significant for heavy atoms as used for stains for biological specimens. The light elements are imaged as phase objects, while those atoms scattering with a larger phase shift may be imaged as amplitude objects. There is a great deal of interest in determining the complete object wave, i.e., both the phase and amplitude components of the electron wave leaving the object.

This paper addresses a problem of estimating the precision phase-shift between the transducers of an Ultra short baseline (USBL) array. Due to fact that the performance of the traditional USBL system would evidently decline as the position error increases with the range, the paper at first proposed a high-precision positioning algorithm applied to an improved array to overcome this problem. Besides, employing a least-squares method, the additional phase shift between the transducers are also considered to be determined experimentally by rotating the USBL array in an acoustic test tank, which furthermore reduces the phase shift measuring error. Some trials results show that the proposed high-precision algorithm with improved array can be achieved with good accuracy, as well as the alignment phase shift offset.

The current-voltage relationships developed in the previous paper is applied to two examples: the transistor transit-time oscillator and the Read avalanche diode. It is shown that transit time in the semiconductor alone is insufficient to create negative conductance which is essential for oscillation to take place. Instead additional phase shift must be introduced. In both examples treated in this paper, the additional phase shift comes from the carrier-injection mechanism.

Abstract Recently, theory and experiment both have confirmed a Majorana zero mode to induce selective equal spin Andreev reflection (SESAR). Herein, we theoretically present controllable chiral Majorana modes (CMMs) by noncollinear magnetic configuration in a Josephson junction on a topological insulator with two ferromagnetic insulators (FIs) sandwiched in between two superconductors (SCs). It is shown that an additional phase shift is induced by the different chirality of the CMMs at the two FI/SC interfaces, whose magnitude is determined by misorientational angle θ, which can be administrated by the Andreev bound surface energies. The angle θ is found to result in the 0-π state transition and Φ0 supercurrent. Particularly, due to the SESAR, the coexistence of fully spin-polarized spin-singlet and -triplet correlations is exhibited with the exclusive fully spin-polarized spin-triplet (singlet) correlation corresponding to the ferromagnetic (F) [antiferromagnetic (AF)] configuration. For the two magnetizations only along y-axis, there exist no additional phase shift and topological supercurrent with fully spin-polarized correlations, especially, the supercurrent in the AF configuration is a lot larger than that in the F one, which is strongly dependent on the exchange field strength and FI length, thus even leading to 100% supercurrent magnetoresistance. The results can be employed to not only identify the topological SCs but also design a perfect topological supercurrent spin valve device.

An important milestone in electron microscopy was the first visualization of single atoms in 1970 with the STEM designed by Albert Crewe. This achievement inspired thoughts that single heavy atoms could be used as super high resolution labels of biological structures by, for example, covalently reacting a heavy atom reagent at the active site of an enzyme. Further investigation of heavy atoms on thin carbon films revealed that they hopped about and that this was not solely thermal motion, but beam induced, since cooling the specimen had little effect. Attempts were made to try various heavy atom compounds but alas, these all behaved similarly, with about 10% of the atoms moving 3-10 Å on successive scans. A gallant effort by M. Beer to sequence DNA using heavy atom base specific labels befell similar problems where the motion of the label prevented high resolution coordinates from being measured.

The Brookhaven STEM is capable of resolving single heavy atoms deposited on thin carbon films with a beam dose > 103 el Å-2 Single heavy atoms, therefore, are unsuitable as fiducial markers on unordered biological specimens because of the high beam dose required for direct visualization. Heavy metal-clusters or heavy metal-containing complexes have been resolved at much lower beam doses, as low as 30 el Å-2, and therefore may be useful as directly visible labels.The polyamine undecagold (11-Au) cluster ion, [(p-H2NCH2C6H4)3P]7 Au113+, has been used to covalently label the carbohydrate sites of the glycoprotein complex of human haptoglobin hemoglobin (Hp˙Hb) by a route which should be general for any glycoprotein with oxidizable carbohydrate residues. Proteins with reactive lysine residues have been covalently 11-Au labeled by the reactions noted in Scheme 1.

A generalized fluctuation–dissipation theorem involving slowly varying parameters is presented. Application of the Langevin method, the method of moments and of a multiscale technique reveal that not only dissipation but also dispersive contributions determine the spectral functions of fluctuations in arbitrary statistical systems. The non-Joule dispersive contribution is characterized by a novel non-local effect due to the additional phase shift between the force and the response of the system. This phase shift occurs as a result of parametric control to the system. The general formalism is illustrated by concrete examples and applications. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Dissipative structures in matter out of equilibrium: from chemistry, photonics and biology (part 2)’.
