Such atoms have large dipole moments, which increase as <i>n</i><sup>2</sup> with increasing <i>n</i>. Due to this fact, electric polarizabilities of Rydberg levels increase as <i>n</i><sup>7</sup> and exceed the polarizabilities of low-excited atoms by many orders of magnitude. This forms the basis for creating highly sensitive quantum sensors. For their implementation, alkali-metal atoms in compact optical vapor cells are excited to Rydberg states. When microwave radiation with a frequency above 1 GHz should be detected, splitting of a single resonance of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), which appears under two-photon laser excitation of Rydberg states, into two resonances due to the Autler-Townes (AT) effect in a microwave radiation field is measured. With Rydberg sensors, it is possible to construct both metrological standards for measuring electric field strength and highly sensitive detectors of RF fields for various applications.

The main focus is on realistic estimates of the practical possibilities of achieving high values of the array gain for suboptimal processing, which are close to the maximum possible values for optimal processing in such conditions. For this, a generalized parametric model of the signal coherence function is used, which permits one to analyze various reception scenarios for coherence-degraded signals and obtain key dependences characterizing output performance in terms of the array gain in a wide range of specified parameters. It is shown that the choice of the suboptimal method crucially depends on two physical parameters, namely, the relative signal coherence length (compared to the array size) and the relative level of the coherent component in the signal field (compared to its total intensity).

A mathematical model is proposed for the serrated flow behavior and localization of the plastic flow in the form of deformation bands—the Portevin–Le Chatelier effect, which manifests itself in a wide range of positive Celsius temperatures. A stationary solution of the initial system of equations at a constant load is found within the framework of the proposed model; the solution is the wave front of the plastic strain rate and is interpreted as a Lüders band. The numerical analysis of the initial model shows that the irregular variations of deforming stress and the spatial wave solutions take place in the instability region determined by the N-shaped dependence of the dislocation deceleration force on the dislocation velocity. This nonlinearity of the deceleration force is due to the peculiarities of the interaction of the dislocations with impurity atoms. The critical dimensionless parameters responsible for the variety of wave solutions of the equation system are determined. For the specific values of these parameters, the irregular oscillation waveform of deforming stress is found, as well as the shape and periodicity of the bursts in plastic strain rate with the oscillation waveform and bursts being strictly correlated and forming the Portevin–Le Chatelier bands, which can be relatively uniform or randomly distributed along the length of the crystal.</p>","PeriodicalId":748,"journal":{"name":"Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics","volume":"66 12","pages":"1012 - 1022"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142870295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
