二维有摩擦颗粒体系振动态密度与玻色峰的研究

利用颗粒离散元方法,研究了由2048个有摩擦的单分散圆盘颗粒组成的体系在各向同性压缩条件下,颗粒摩擦系数μ对颗粒体系结构与振动特性的影响.结果表明:固定压强下,随μ的增大,区分德拜标度与态密度平台的过渡频率ω*与玻色峰频率ωBP均向低频移动,玻色峰高度D(ωBP)/ωBP逐渐增加.主要原因是μ增大导致颗粒体系无序程度增加(平均配位数减小)而在ωω*处出现了大量额外模式.模式分析表明:低频(ω1.0)模式主要是以平动为主的混合模式,中频(1.0ω4.0)模式主要是以平动为主的混合局域化模式,高频(ω4.0)振动模式几乎为纯转动的局域化模式;并且随μ的增大,低频下平动模式更加局域化,同时低频转动模式的贡献也逐渐增加,暗示在高摩擦系数下低频转动模式产生更重要的影响.

掺杂、无序和混晶半导体的晶格振动行为

一、研究的意义和目的 杂质诱发的半导体晶格振动问题和无序和混晶半导体的晶格振动问题的研究,在过去20多年中一直是比较活跃的. 过去的研究表明,在杂质诱发晶格振动情况下,由于杂质原子量和掺杂的不同而引起的力常数的变化,可以诱发与杂质有关的、不同程度局域化的振动模(尤其是位于声子带上方的局域模),并可使原来光学不激活的声子带模变得部分地光学可激活.然而对与低频的声学声子带有关的杂质诱发振动行为,国内外却研究得很少,实验方面尤其如此. 关于无序半导体的晶格振动行为,已有的研究成果表明,无序可以使理想晶体情况下光s学不激活…     

准一维纳米线电子输运的梯度无序效应

考虑实际体系的梯度无序和结散射,发展格林函数矩阵分解消元方法,研究了准一维纳米线的电子输运性质. 结果表明,由于结散射,电导随能量呈现振荡行为,无序的引入破坏了电子相干性,在低无序度区平均电导呈现异常增加,呈现一个新的电导峰. 当表面存在无序但无梯度衰减时,体系的平均电导随无序度增强先减后增,出现类局域-退局域性转变. 当表面无序线性衰减时,平均电导在强无序区稍有增加,而当表面无序高斯型衰减时,平均电导指数衰减,类局域-退局域性转变消失,不同于以前的理论预言. 研究结果对准一维纳米线电子器件的结构设计和应用有指导作用. 关键词： 准一维纳米线 梯度无序 电子输运

纳米晶锐钛矿相TiO2的非简谐效应和声子局域

对晶粒尺寸为19.4,8.6和5.6 nm的纳米晶锐钛矿相TiO2,进行了从83到723 K的变温拉曼散射测量,并对Eg(1)模式进行了详细研究.根据非简谐效应和声子局域模型,对Eg(1)拉曼峰进行了拟合与计算.结果表明,以上三种纳米晶粒的晶格振动机理,在本质上是相同的.三声子过程对频率蓝移起主要作用.为了得到很好的拟合,需要同时考虑三声子和四声子过程.随着温度的升高,四声子过程增强,并对三声子过程起抵消作用.与非简谐衰减相关的声子寿命随着晶粒尺寸的减小而增加,晶粒尺寸越小衰减越慢.在低温区,声子局域是导致5.6 nm晶粒的声子寿命非常短的原因.声子局域引起Eg(1)模式在高波数段非对称展宽和频率蓝移,其对Eg(1)峰展宽的影响要大于对峰位移动的影响.     

Measurement of correlations between low-frequency vibrational modes and particle rearrangements in quasi-two-dimensional colloidal glasses

We investigate correlations between low-frequency vibrational modes and rearrangements in two-dimensional colloidal glasses composed of thermosensitive microgel particles, which readily permit variation of the sample packing fraction. At each packing fraction, the particle displacement covariance matrix is measured and used to extract the vibrational spectrum of the "shadow" colloidal glass (i.e., the particle network with the same geometry and interactions as the sample colloid but absent damping). Rearrangements are induced by successive, small reductions in the packing fraction. The experimental results suggest that low-frequency quasilocalized phonon modes in colloidal glasses, i.e., modes that present low energy barriers for system rearrangements, are spatially correlated with rearrangements in this thermal system.     

Connecting structural relaxation with the low frequency modes in a hard-sphere colloidal glass

Structural relaxation in hard-sphere colloidal glasses has been studied using confocal microscopy. The motion of individual particles is followed over long time scales to detect the rearranging regions in the system. We have used normal mode analysis to understand the origin of the rearranging regions. The low-frequency modes, obtained over short time scales, show strong spatial correlation with the rearrangements that happen on long time scales.     

On the role of atomic motion soft modes in acoustic phonon broadening below the boson peak in glasses

This Letter presents a mechanism of acoustic phonon broadening for frequencies lower than the boson peak frequency in glasses exhibiting a high-frequency sound above the boson peak. The mechanism is based on a resonant interaction of an acoustic phonon with harmonic vibrational excitations of soft modes in such glasses. The related width of the phonon is found to be independent of temperature and characterized by a power-law frequency dependence ν?${\nu }^{?}$, with the exponent ?   varying from ?≈2$?\approx 2$ below the boson peak to ?≈4$?\approx 4$ at lower frequencies. The dependencies do not appear to contradict some recent experimental data, for the glasses under discussion.     

Quasi-2D Monte Carlo simulations of a colloidal dispersion composed of magnetic plate-like particles with magnetic moment normal to the particle axis

We have investigated aggregation phenomena of a colloidal dispersion composed of magnetic plate-like particles by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Such plate-like particles have been modelled as disk-like particles with magnetic moment normal to the particle axis at the particle centre, with the section shape of a spherocylinder. The main objective of the present study is to clarify the influences of the magnetic field strength and magnetic interactions between particles on particle aggregation phenomena. We have concentrated our attention on a quasi-2D system from an application point of view such as the development of surface quality changing technology using such magnetic plate-like particles. A magnetic field is applied along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the monolayer. Internal structures of particle aggregates are discussed quantitatively in terms of radial distribution and orientational pair correlation functions. For the case of strong magnetic interactions between particles, particles form long column-like clusters with their magnetic moments alternating in direction between the neighbouring particles. These tendencies appear under circumstances of a weak applied magnetic field. However, as the magnetic field strength increases, particles incline towards the magnetic field direction, so that particles do not form such clusters.     

Cooperative rearrangement regions and dynamical heterogeneities in colloidal glasses with attractive versus repulsive interactions

Water-lutidine mixtures permit the interparticle potentials of colloidal particles suspended therein to be tuned, in situ, from repulsive to attractive. We employ these systems to directly elucidate the effects of interparticle potential on glass dynamics in experimental samples composed of the same particles at the same packing fractions. Cooperative rearrangement regions (CRRs) and heterogeneous dynamics are observed in both types of glasses. Compared to repulsive glasses, the attractive glass dynamics are found to be heterogeneous over a wider range of time and length scales, and its CRRs involve more particles. Additionally, the CRRs are observed to be stringlike structures in repulsive glasses and compact structures in attractive glasses. Thus, the experiments demonstrate explicitly that glassy dynamics can depend on the sign of the interparticle interaction.     

有限尺寸胶体体系的二维结晶

从工业上的大尺寸晶体生长到实验室中受限小体系的结晶,结晶是普遍存在的物理现象,也一直是物理学中的重要研究课题.与大尺度结晶相变的研究相比,对于有限小尺度体系结晶过程的研究相对较少.本文通过设计具有吸引相互作用的胶体体系,在实验上研究了有限小尺寸胶体体系的二维结晶相变.通过计算和分析径向分布函数、泰森多边形以及取向序参量,发现有限小尺寸体系的结晶过程是从中央高密度区域开始,随着结晶的进行,周围液相减小而晶相增加,最后完全转变为晶态的过程.体系结晶速率呈现两个阶段:在结晶初期中央区域是高密度的亚稳态液体,会降低结晶自由能能垒,使得体系快速结晶;随后晶相长大,亚稳态液体消失,体系结晶速率变慢.此外,通过统计有序度参量的分布发现:在结晶过程中,序参量出现双峰分布,分别对应液相和晶相,与大尺度胶体体系的二维结晶行为一致,说明序参量分布的变化规律是二维结晶相变的重要特征.     

Boson peak measurements in neutron-irradiated quartz crystals

We have measured the low-frequency Raman scattering in neutron-irradiated quartz crystals with four different irradiation doses from 4.7×10¹⁹ n/cm² to 1×10²⁰ n/cm² and for 2 different crystallographic directions. For the used doses the range of density change of the investigated samples was 12% (the maximum change during amorphization is 14%) and the amorphous fraction varied from 35% to 100%. The same measurement was done in neutron-irradiated amorphous silica with a maximal dose 2×10²⁰ n/cm². In all cases we observed the boson peak in the Raman spectra. The position of the peak, at 67±3 cm^-1, was found to be the same for all the investigated samples independent of the dose. The shape of the peak for doses 6.8× 10¹⁹ n/cm² and higher was also found to be the same for 5 investigated samples (including irradiated vitreous silica). We found that the position of the boson peak in neutron-irradiated quartz crystals and vitreous silica corresponds to the Ioffe-Regel crossover frequency for phonons. The origin of the boson peak in neutron-irradiated quartz and vitreous silica can be attributed to local soft optic modes, which are analogous to the soft optic mode that drives the α–β transition in quartz.     

Orientational coupling amplification in ferroelectric nematic colloids

We investigated the physical properties of low concentration ferroelectric nematic colloids, using calorimetry, optical methods, infrared spectroscopy, and capacitance studies. The resulting homogeneous colloids possess a significantly amplified nematic orientational coupling. We find that the nematic orientation coupling increases by approximately 10% for particle concentrations of 0.2%. A manifestation of the increased orientational order is that the clearing temperature of a nematic colloid increases by up to 40 degrees C compared to the pure liquid crystal host. A theoretical model is proposed in which the ferroelectric particles induce local dipoles whose effective interaction is proportional to the square of the orientational order parameter.     

Heat transfer in the plastic phases I and II of cyclopentane

Thermal conductivity of solid cyclopentane C₅H₁₀ has been measured at isochoric conditions in the plastic phases I and II for samples of different densities. Isochoric thermal conductivity is nearly constant in phase II and increases with temperature in phase I. Such behaviour is attributed to weakening of the translational orientational coupling which, in turn, leads to a decrease of phonon scattering on rotational excitations. The experimental data are described in terms of a modified Debye model of thermal conductivity with allowance for heat transfer by both low-frequency phonons and diffusive modes.     

The spinless periodic Anderson model with phonons and applications to mixed valence systems

A simplified periodic Anderson model, without spin and Hubbard correlation, coupled to a branch of optical phonons is presented and discussed in connection with Rare Earth compounds exhibiting a transition to a mixed valence state. The phonon self energy is approximately calculated by diagrammatic techniques and used for a study of boson modes originating from the interplay of phonons withf-electrons mixed into band states. It is shown that weakly damped low lying or even soft modes may exist in connection with the transition. The relevance of these results to real systems, possible shortcomings of the model and the relations to other work in this field is described.
