The gravity-induced phase shift detected by high-T c Josephson junctions

We derive from the Kaluza-Klein theory a formula for the gravity-induced phase shift around a circuit loop, which amounts to the order of 10^?6 We propose experiments to detect this phase shift by using the high-T _c d-wave Josephson junction, which is included in a cuprate superconductor circuit loop. By rotating the loop around the horizontal axis, the gravity-induced phase shift can be detected as a frequency shift. These settings can also be used in turn to determine the gravitational constant. This method will be sensitive and accurate.     

Chip design of a 5.8-GHz fractional-N frequency synthesizer with a tunable Gm—C loop filter

This paper proposes a novel Gm-C loop filter instead of a conventional passive loop filter used in a phase-locked loop.The innovative advantage of the proposed architecture is tunable loop filter bandwidth and hence the process variations of passive elements of resistance R and capacitance C can be overcome and the chip area is greatly reduced.Furthermore,the MASH 1-1-1 sigma-delta(Σ▽) modulator is adopted for performing the fractional division number and hence improves the phase noise as well.Measured results show that the locked phase noise is 114.1 dBc/Hz with lower G m-C bandwidth and 111.7 dBm/C with higher G m-C bandwidth at 1 MHz offset from carrier of 5.68 GHz.Including pads and built-in Gm-C filter,the chip area of the proposed frequency synthesizer is 1.06 mm 2.The output power is 8.69 dBm at 5.68 GHz and consumes 56 mW with an off-chip buffer from 1.8-V supply voltage.

Observation of rf SQUID characteristics in YBCO bulk at 77 K

RF SQUID behaviour due to grain boundary weak links in a bulk YBCO is observed at 77 K using modified commercial rf electronics. Porous samples with lowI _c are found to show this characteristic whereas dense samples with higherI _c do not show SQUID behaviour.V-B modulation characteristic is found to be better when the rf pumping frequency is kept slightly higher than the resonance frequency of the tank circuit. Designing of coil for tank circuit with appropriateQ has been found to be very crucial for seeing the SQUID behaviour. Estimation of parameters such as coupling constant, mutual inductance, inductance and radius of the SQUID loop, have been made and their significance is discussed. Flux noise spectrum of the bulk rf SQUID in flux locked mode is also reported.     

High pressure behavior of nano-crystalline CeO2 up to 35 GPa: a Raman investigation

The present paper reports the results of in situ Raman studies carried out on nano-crystalline CeO₂ up to a pressure of 35 GPa at room temperature. The material was characterized at ambient conditions using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy and was found to have a cubic structure. We observed the Raman peak at ambient at 465 cm^?1, which is characteristic of the cubic structure of the material. The sample was pressurized using a diamond anvil cell using ruby fluorescence as the pressure monitor, and the phase evolution was tracked by Raman spectroscopy. With an increase in the applied pressure, the cubic band was seen to steadily shift to higher wavenumbers. However, we observed the appearance of a number of new peaks around a pressure of about 34.7 GPa. CeO₂ was found to undergo a phase transition to an orthorhombic α -PbCl₂-type structure at this pressure. With the release of the applied pressure, the observed peaks steadily shift to lower wavenumbers. On decompression, the high pressure phase existed down to a total release of pressure.     

Studies of synthesizing behaviors and superconductivity of sol-gel YBa2Cu3O7-x samples in flowing oxygen atmosphere

Systematic studies of synthesizing behaviors of sol-gel YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x samples in flowing oxygen atmosphere and their superconductivity have been performed. A set of high temperature ρ-T curves has been obtained for the whole synthesizing process. After four rounds of synthesizing, the resistivity of the sample was around ρ=1.00×10⁻³Ω · cm at room temperature. The ρ-T curve of the fourth round shows that the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transformation of the sample occurs around 600 °C, which is lower than that of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x sample prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Other measurements, such as X-ray diffraction, SEM measurement and low temperature R-T and M-T measurement, were also performed. And the R-T and M-T measurement results suggest that during the synthesizing process, there exist some state at which the sample has better superconductivity than the other states. Moreover, we found screw dislocations presenting on the sample broken surface from the SEM images. This will change the concept that the screw dislocations can only grow on the surface of the YBCO thin films and single crystals.

Pressure and photo-induced phase transitions in sulphur investigated by Raman spectroscopy

Abstract

The phase transition of orthorhombic sulphur α-S₈ to a high pressure amorphous sulphur allotrope (a-S) has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The conversion is found to be induced by the absorption of laser light and can be discussed in terms of ring opening followed by cis-trans conversion of the dihedral angle of S₈ molecules. Laser energy and transition pressure are correlated due to the pressure tuned red shift of the absorption edge of α-S₈. The amorphous (a-S) phase is observed up to 15 GPa at laser intensities below 30μW/μm² at 514.5 and 488.0 nm. Above this threshold power a-S transforms into a second photo-induced phase (p-S), whose discrete Raman spectrum implies an ordered molecular and crystalline structure. By further increasing pressure crystalline S₆ can be created which is found to be the dominant molecular species at pressures above 10 GPa and low temperatures. A phase diagram in the range T < 300 K and p < 15 GPa is also presented.     

Crystallographic and magnetic phase transition in TlMnCl3

The results of our NMR, EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements in the paramagnetic state of TlMnCl₃ are reported here. The NMR paramagnetic shift of thallium is found to be small but positive. Mn²⁺ EPR line is exchange narrowed. The susceptibility measurements indicate an antiferromagnetic transition. The heat of crystallographic phase transition ΔH, in TlMnCl₃ has been measured using differential scanning calorimetry. The crystallographic phase transition appears to be first order and ΔH is unusually low viz. 10 cal mole⁻¹. In the case of KMnF₃ Δ_H, which is reported here for the first time, is determined to be 2 cal mole⁻¹.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of Fe100-xMox alloy nanowire arrays

The Fe100-xMox(13≤x≤25) alloy nanowire arrays are synthesized by electrodeposition of Fe 2+ and Mo 2+ with different ionic ratios into the anodic aluminum oxide templates.The crystals of Fe100-xMox alloy nanowires gradually change from polycrystalline phase to amorphous phase with the increase of the Mo content and the nanowires are of amorphous structure when the Mo content reaches 25 at%,which are revealed by the X-ray diffraction and the selected area electron diffraction patterns.As the Mo content increases,the magnetic hysteresis loops of Fe100-xMox alloy nanowires in parallel to the nanowire axis are not rectangular and the slopes of magnetic hysteresis loops increase.Those results indicate that the magnetostatic interactions between nanowires and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy both have significant influences on the magnetization reversal process of the nanowire arrays.     

Effect of substitution of Ce on superconducting properties of Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2−x Ce x Cu3O10+δ system

We have investigated the superconducting properties of the Bi_1.7 Pb_0.3Sr₂Ca_2−xCe _x Cu₃O_10+δ system with x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.1 by X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility. The substitution of Ce for Ca has been found to drastically change the superconducting properties of the system. X-ray diffraction studies on these compounds indicate decrease in the c-parameter with increased substitution of Ce at Ca site and volume fraction of high T _c (2 : 2 : 2 : 3) phase decreases and low T _c phase increases. The magnetic susceptibility of this compound shows that the diamagnetic on set superconducting transition temperature (onset) varies from 109 K to 51 K for x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.1. These results suggest the possible existence of Ce in a tetravalent state rather than a trivalent state in this system; that is, Ca²⁺ → Ce⁴⁺ replacement changes the hole carrier concentration. Hole filling is the cause of lowering T _c of the system.     

Intrinsic tunneling study of underdoped Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+δ superconductors

We report on a tunneling study of underdoped submicron Bi₂Sr_2-xLa_xCuO_6+δ (La-Bi2201) intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs), whose self-heating is sufficiently suppressed. The tunneling spectra are measured from 4.2 K up to the pseudogap opening temperature of T^* = 260 K. The gap value found from the spectral peak position is about 35 meV and has a weak temperature dependence both below and above the superconducting transition temperature of T_c = 29 K. Since the superconducting gap should have a value of 10-15 meV, our results indicate that the pseudogap (～35 meV) plays an important role in the underdoped La-Bi2201 intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy down to the lowest temperature of 4.2 K. However, the contribution of the superconducting gap can be separated by normalizing the spectra to the one near and above T_c, which shows that the IJJs can be a useful tool for the study of the electronic properties of the La-Bi2201 cuprate superconductors.

Characterization of organic–inorganic hybrid layered perovskite and intercalated compound (n-C12H25NH3)2ZnCl4

We report on some electrical properties and solid–solid phase transitions of organic–inorganic hybrid layered halide perovskite and intercalated compound (n-C₁₂H₂₅NH₃)₂ZnCl₄ which is one member of the long-chain compounds of the series (n-C_nH_2n+1NH₃)_2,(n = 8–18). The complex dielectric permittivity ?*(ω,T) and the ac conductivity σ (ω,T) were measured as functions of temperature 100 K < T < 390 K and frequency 5 kHz < f < 100 kHz. Moreover, the differential scanning calorimetery and the differential thermal analysis thermograms were performed. The analysis of our data confirms the existence of a structural phase transition at T ≈ (362?±?2) K, where the compound changes its state from intercalation to non-intercalation with a drastic increase in the c-axis by about 16.4%.

The behavior of the frequency-dependent conductivity follows the Jonscher universal power law: σ (ω, T) α?^s(?,T). The mechanism of electrical conduction in the low-temperature phase (phase II) can be described as quantum mechanical tunneling model.     

A new high-pressure polymorph of Ti2O3: implication for high-pressure phase transition in sesquioxides

The post-corundum phase transition has been investigated in Ti₂O₃ on the basis of synchrotron X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell and transmission electron microscopy. The new polymorph of Ti₂O₃ was found at about 19 GPa and 1850 K, and this phase was stable even at about 40 GPa. A new polymorph of Ti₂O₃ can be indexed on a Pnma orthorhombic cell, and the unit-cell parameters are a=7.6965 (19) Å, b=2.8009 (9) Å, c=7.9300 (23) Å, V=170.95 (15) Å³ at 19 GPa, and a=7.8240 (2) Å, b=2.8502 (1) Å, c=8.1209 (3) Å, V=181.10 (1) Å³ at ambient conditions. The Birch–Murnaghan equation of state yields K ₀=206 (3) GPa and K′₀=4 (fixed) for corundum phase, and K ₀=296 (4) GPa and K′₀=4 (fixed) for the post-corundum phase. The molar volume decreases by 12% across the phase transition at around 20 GPa. The structural identification was carried out on a recovered sample by the Rietveld method, and a new polymorph of Ti₂O₃ can be identified as Th₂S₃-type rather than U₂S₃-type structure. The transition from corundum-type to Th₂S₃-type structure accompanies the drastic change of the form of polyhedron: from TiO₆ octahedron in the corundum-type to TiO₇ polyhedron in the Th₂S₃-type structures.     

Selective synthesis of monoclinic and tetragonal phase LaVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanorods via oxides-hydrothermal route

Pure monoclinic (m-) and tetragonal (t-) LaVO₄ nanorods are successfully obtained via a facile oxides-hydrothermal method, in which V₂O₅ and La₂O₃ bulk powders are directly utilized as precursors without pretreatment. It is found that ethylenediamine tetraacetic disodium salt (EDTA) is a key factor for synthesizing t-LaVO₄. The as-obtained products are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The FTIR spectra of VO₄ around 800 cm⁻¹ are suggested as an effective auxiliary means to identify the crystal phase of LaVO₄. UV–Visible spectra of LaVO₄ nanomaterials are obvious blue shift compared with the bulk m-LaVO₄ materials. The different photoluminescent properties of Eu³⁺ doped m- and t-LaVO₄ are demonstrated. A dissolution–precipitation mechanism is mainly responsible for the anisotropic morphology and phase control evolution of the LaVO₄ nanocrystals. The oxides-hydrothermal system is also applicable to prepare other pure LnVO₄ (Ln³⁺: Nd³⁺, Y³⁺, Sm³⁺) and doped LnVO₄ nanomaterials.
