Nanosecond time-resolved reflectivity determination of the melting of metals upon pulsed laser annealing
Thin metal fiIrns (Cu, Au, Ni) on quartz glass were illuminated with nanosecond pulse.; of a frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser (A = 532 nm). The transient reflectivity behavlour was probed at the wavelength 633 nm, where these metals exhibit Drude-Iike optical behaviour: the reflectivity decreases with temperature in the solid and in the Iiquid state as well as at the solid-llquid phase transition...
متن کاملMetals and Non-metals
Ductile: Substances that can be drawn into thin wires are called ductile. For example, most of the metals are ductile. Question 2: Why is sodium kept immersed in kerosene oil? Answer: Sodium and potassium are very reactive metals and and combine explosively with air as well as water. Hence, they catch fire if kept in open. Therefore, to prevent accidental fires and accidents, sodium is stored i...
متن کاملOn Simulated Annealing and Nested Annealing
Simulated Annealing is a family of randomized algorithms used to solve many combinatorial optimization problems. In practice they have been applied to solve some presumably hard (e.g., NP-complete) problems. The level of performance obtained has been promising [5, 2, 6, 14]. The success of this heuristic technique has motivated analysis of this algorithm from a theoretical point of view. In par...
متن کاملFaster Annealing Schedules for Quantum Annealing
New annealing schedules for quantum annealing are proposed based on the adiabatic theorem. These schedules exhibit faster decrease of the excitation probability than a linear schedule. To derive this conclusion, the asymptotic form of the excitation probability for quantum annealing is explicitly obtained in the limit of long annealing time. Its first-order term, which is inversely proportional...
متن کاملQuantum annealing
Quantum annealing Quantum annealing (also known as alloy, crystallization or tempering) is analogous to simulated annealing but in substitution of thermal activation by quantum tunneling. The class of algorithmic methods for quantum annealing (dubbed: 'QA'), sometimes referred by the italian school as Quantum Stochastic Optimization ('QSO'), is a promising metaheuristic tool for solving local s...
