A calorimetric study of the dimerized phase of C60 fullerene

The temperature dependence of the heat capacity at a constant pressure C _p ⁰ = f(T) for the dimerized phase of the C₆₀ fullerene in the temperature range 300–575 K and the thermodynamic characteristics for depolymerization of this phase under normal pressure are investigated using precision differential scanning calorimetry. It is established that thermal depolymerization is a kinetically hindered process. The final products of thermal depolymerization are identified as a partially crystalline monomer face-centered cubic phase of C₆₀ with a degree of crystallinity α = 67 mol %. The results obtained in this study and our previous experimental data on the low-temperature heat capacity are used in the calculations of standard thermodynamic functions for the (C₆₀)₂ crystalline dimer, namely, the heat capacity C _p ⁰ (T), the enthalpy H ⁰(T) ? H ⁰(0), the entropy S ⁰(T), and the Gibbs function G ⁰(T) ? H ⁰(0) in the temperature range from T → 0 to 394 K.

The reasons for the strong diffuseness of the transition and the nonlinear dependence of the transition temperature on the film thickness are discussed.

Thickness dependence of superconductivity for In/Mo thin films

We report on the superconducting characteristics of the Indium thin films on molybdenum under-layer as a function of the In film thickness. Our molybdenum under-layer with thickness of 50 Å does not cause the occurrence of superconductivity until 1.5 K and the sheet resistance has logarithmic temperature dependence observed in the present investigation. As thickness of In increased, the oscillation phenomenon of T_C was observed at early stage of deposition and the value of T_C is higher than the that for bulk of In. Furthermore, it is found that with increase of the In thickness, there are large differences of the strengths of the upper critical magnetic field H_C2(T), resistivity and T_C between films with thickness below and above 100 Å. On the other hand, the T_C decreases monotonously as sheet resistance increases, when the T_C is plotted against sheet resistance. To clarify the relation of superconducting characteristics and the surface structure of the films with different thickness, we have performed surface observation by atomic force microscope. As a result, we have found that the surface changes from homogeneous structure to inhomogeneous (or percolative) structure, when the thickness of in films pass through about 100 Å. Superconductivity of In/Mo films with relatively thick-inhomogeneous films cannot be explained in terms of the simple percolation theory. Therefore, we analysis the experimental data of H_C2(T) near T_C, using a extended Landau–Ginzburg model. It is found out that our In/Mo films must consider some factors; such as, grain size, the distance of grain space, and the strength of couplings between grains.     

Transition phase and thermodynamic properties of GaN via first-principles calculations

The transition phase of GaN from zincblende (ZB) structure to rocksalt structure (RS) is investigated by ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method, and the thermodynamic properties of the ZB and RS structures are obtained through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. We find that the transition phase from the ZB structure to the RS structure occurs at the pressure of 42.2 GPa, which is in good agreement with other calculated values. Moreover, the dependences of the relative volume V/V₀ on the pressure P, the Debye temperature Θ and heat capacity C_V on the pressure P, as well as the heat capacity C_V on the temperature T are also successfully obtained.

The transition phase of PtN from zincblende (ZB) structure to rocksalt (RS) structure is investigated by ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method, and the thermodynamic properties of the ZB and RS structures under high pressure and temperature are obtained through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The transition phase from the ZB structure to the RS structure occurs at the pressure of 18.2 GPa, which agrees well with other calculated values. Moreover, the dependences of the relative volume V/V₀ on the pressure P, the Debye temperature Θ and heat capacity C_V on the pressure P, together with the heat capacity C_V on the temperature T are also successfully obtained.

Reconstruction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>) gravity according to holographic dark energy

We develop the reconstruction of the f(T) gravity model according to the holographic dark energy. T is the torsion scalar and its initial value from the teleparallel gravity is imposed for fitting the initial value of the function f(T). The evolutionary nature of the holographic dark energy is essentially based on two important parameters, Ω _V  and ω _V , respectively, the dimensionless dark energy and the parameter of the equation of state, related to the holographic dark energy. The result shows a polynomial function for f(T), and we also observe that, when Ω _V →1 at the future time, ω _V may cross −1 for some values of the input parameter b. Another interesting aspect of the obtained model is that it provides a unification scenario of dark matter with dark energy.
