通过第一性原理密度泛函和超导Eliashberg理论计算, 我们研究了Li₂C₂在Cmcm相的电子结构和电声耦合特性, 预言这种材料在常压和5GPa下是由电声耦合导致的转变温度分别为13.2 K 和9.8 K的超导体, 为实验上探索包含一维碳原子链的材料中是否可能存在超导电性、发现新的超导体提供了理论依据. 如果理论所预言的Li₂C₂超导电性得到实验的证实, 这将是锂碳化物中转变温度最高的超导体, 高于实验观测到的LiC₂的1.9 K和理论预言的单层LiC₆的8.1 K超导转变温度.     

插层FeSe高温超导体的高压研究进展

通过对FeSe进行化学插层可以将其超导转变温度（T_c）从约8 K提高到40 K以上,实现高温超导电性.最近,我们对两种插层FeSe高温超导材料（Li_0.84Fe_0.16）OHFe_0.98Se和Li_0.36（NH₃）_yFe₂Se₂开展了高压调控研究,发现压力会首先抑制高温超导相（称为SC-I相）,然后在临界压力P_c以上诱导出第二个高温超导相（称为SC-Ⅱ相）,呈现出双拱形T-P超导相图.这两个体系的P_c分别约为5和2 GPa,两个体系SC-Ⅱ相的最高T_c分别可以达到约52和55 K,比相应SC-I相的初始T_c提高了10 K.对（Li_0.84Fe_0.16）OHFe_0.98Se的正常态电输运性质分析表明,SC-I和SC-Ⅱ相的正常态分别具有费米液体和非费米液体行为,意味着这两个超导相可能存在显著差异.此外,还发现这两个体系的SC-Ⅱ相的T_c与霍尔系数倒数1/R_H（∝载流子浓度n_e）具有很好的线性依赖关系.对（Li_0.84Fe_0.16）OHFe_0.98Se的高压X射线衍射测量排除了其在10 GPa以内发生结构相变的可能,因此P_c以上SC-Ⅱ相的出现和载流子浓度的增加很可能起源于压力导致的费米面重构.

采用高温原位拉曼光谱技术,研究了Li₂B₄O₇从常温至1 373 K温度范围内的拉曼光谱。在升温过程中,晶体的拉曼光谱出现展宽和红移现象,且强度降低。晶体熔化时,由2个[BO₄]和2个[BO₃]组成的[B₄O₉]环状结构转变成(B₃O₆)3- 六元环和[BO₃]结构,[BO₄]结构减少直至消失。基于密度泛函理论,计算了Li₂B₄O₇晶体的拉曼光谱,对其振动模式进行了分析归属。利用量子化学从头计算法计算了由[B₃O₆-BO₃]为基础相互连接形成的x(Li₂B₄O₇)(x=2, 3, …, 9)的环状团簇模型的拉曼光谱,对Li₂B₄O₇熔体的结构进行了模拟分析。计算结果表明Li₂B₄O₇熔体的阴离子基元为三个(B₃O₆-BO₃)组成的大三元环超级结构。     

Hf-C体系的高压结构预测及电子性质第一性原理模拟

本论文中, 采用晶体结构预测软件USPEX结合第一性原理方法全面地搜索了Hf-C体系在高压下的晶体结构, 预测得到了两种新的化合物及HfC在高压下的相变路径. 压力低于100 GPa 时, 除了常压下的结构HfC, Hf₃C₂, Hf₆C₅, 并没有得到新的热力学稳定结构. 在200 GPa时, 预测得到了一种新化合物——Hf₂C, 空间群为I4/m; 且HfC的结构发生了相变, 空间群由Fm3m变为C2/m. 在300 GPa时, 预测得到了另一种新化合物——HfC₂, 空间群为Immm. 而在400 GPa时, HfC的结构再次发生相变, 空间群为Pnma. 通过能量计算, 得到了Hf-C体系的组分-压力相图: 在压力分别低于15.5 GPa和37.7 GPa时, Hf₃C₂和Hf₆C₅是稳定的; 压力分别大于102.5 GPa和215.5 GPa时, Hf₂C和HfC₂变成稳定化合物; HfC的相变路径为Fm3m→C2/m→Pnma, 相变压力分别为185.5 GPa 和322 GPa. 经结构优化后, 得到了这四种高压新结构的晶体学数据, 如晶格常数、原子位置等, 并分析了其结构特点. 对于Hf-C 体系中的高压热力学稳定结构, 分别计算了其弹性性质和声子谱曲线, 证明是力学稳定和晶格动力学稳定的. 采用第一性原理软件VASP模拟高压结构的能带结构、态密度、电子局域函数和Bader 电荷分析, 发现HfC(C2/m, Pnma结构), Hf₂C 和HfC₂ 中Hf-C 键具有强共价性、弱金属性和离子性, 且C-C 间存在共价作用.     

二维层状材料FePSe3的高压物性

FePSe₃在高压下会出现半导体到金属的转变、超导电性以及高自旋到低自旋的转变等多种有趣的物理现象，但目前对其在高压下的晶体结构分析仍以理论研究为主，结构的不确定阻碍了对其物理性质的深入研究。为此，利用金刚石对顶砧结合高压拉曼光谱、高压同步辐射X射线衍射以及高压电输运测量，对FePSe₃在高压下的行为进行了研究。结果表明，FePSe₃在低于60.0 GPa的压力范围内经历了3次结构相变，完成了LP—HP1—HP2—HP3的转变。首次在实验上观测到FePSe₃的高压新相HP2和HP3，并给出其可能的空间对称群。HP2相和HP3相具有超导电性，超导温度随压力的升高而降低，致使超导相图呈现“穹顶”状。研究结果为进一步厘清FePSe₃的压致相变行为提供了重要的实验支撑。     

Li4SiO4-Li3VO4赝二元系和Li4GeO4-Li4SiO4-Li3VO4赝三元系中新的锂离子导体

本文在室温到300℃的温度范围内研究了Li₄SiO₄-Li₃VO₄和Li₄GeO₄-Li₄SiO₄-Li₃VO₄体系中的离子导电性,发现γ_II相固溶体Li_3+xV_1-xSi_xO₄是好的锂离子导体。所研究的成分中Li_3.3V_0.7Si_0.3O₄的离子电导率最高,室温下为1×10^-5Ω^-1·cm^-1,在42—192℃的电导激活能为0.36eV,电子电导率可以忽略,因而这是迄今所发现的最好的锂离子导体之一。粗略确定了Li₄GeO₄-Li₄SiO₄-Li₃VO₄三元系中电导率高的范围,发现在Li_3.5V_0.5Ge_0.5O₄中Si部分取代Ge可以使电导率进一步提高,Li_3.5V_0.5Ge_0.4Si_0.1O₄的室温电导率可达1.3×10^-5Ω^-1·cm^-1,电导激活能为0.40eV。 关键词：

采用水热合成法制备了锐钛矿相TiO₂纳米线,并通过原位高压阻抗谱测量技术研究了TiO₂纳米线晶粒和晶界性质及电输运行为随压力的变化关系.研究结果表明:在0—34.0 GPa压力区间,锐钛矿TiO₂纳米线的传导机制为电子电导.TiO₂纳米线晶粒和晶界电阻以及弛豫频率在8.2—11.2 GPa压力区间均出现了不连续变化行为,此压力区域对应着由锐钛矿相到斜锆石相的结构转变,并且相变从晶粒表面逐渐延伸到晶粒内部.晶粒激活能和晶界激活能均随压力的增加而减小,说明压力对样品电导率的贡献为正.在所测压力范围内,空间电荷势始终为正值,表明在空间电荷区阴离子缺陷更易形成,氧缺陷是TiO₂纳米线相变的主要诱因.

采用基于密度泛函理论第一性原理方法, 研究了对称性为Pmn2₁的正交结构聚阴离子型硅酸盐Li₂FeSiO₄及其相关脱锂相LiFeSiO₄的电子结构, 并进一步采用玻尔兹曼理论对其输运性质进行计算. 电荷密度分析表明, 由于强Si–O共价键的存在使Li₂FeSiO₄晶体结构在嵌脱锂过程中始终保持稳定, 体积变化率只有2.7%. 能带结构与态密度计算结果表明, 费米能级附近的电子结构主要受Fe-d轨道中电子的影响, Li₂FeSiO₄ 的带隙宽度明显小于LiFeSiO₄, 说明前者的电子输运能力优于后者. 输运性质计算表明, 电导率在300–800 K时对温度的变化并不敏感, 同时也证明了Li₂FeSiO₄晶体的电导率大于LiFeSiO₄晶体, 与能带和态密度分析结论一致.

Self-organization of five species in a cyclic competition game

Cyclic competition game models, particularly the “rock–paper–scissors” model, play important roles in exploring the problem of multi-species coexistence in spatially ecological systems. We propose an extended “rock–paper–scissors” game to model cyclic interactions among five species, and find that two of the five can coexistent when biodiversity disappears, which is different from the “rock–paper–scissors” game. As the number of fingers is five, we named the new model the “fingers” game, where the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger cyclically dominate their subsequent species and are dominated by their former species. We investigate the “fingers” model in two ways: direct simulations and nonlinear partial differential equations. An important finding is that the number of species in a cyclic competition game has an influence on the emergence of biodiversity. To be specific, the “rock–paper–scissors” model is in favor of maintaining biodiversity in comparison with the “fingers” model when the variables (population size, reproduction rate, selection rate, and migration rate) are the same. It is also shown that the mobility and reproduction rate can promote or jeopardize biodiversity.     

Contrastive analysis on tone between Putonghua and Taiwan Mandarin

The differences of the pitch and duration of Chinese syllables between Putonghua （PTH） and Taiwan Mandarin （TM） were studied. The speech materials to be used are not only isolated syllables, but also sentences. The results reveal that： For the isolated syllables, T1 and T2 in TM are influenced by Minnan dialect, therefore their pitch are lower than those in PTH. T3 is fall-rise in PTH, while it is fall in TM. Moreover, the syllable duration sequence for different tone is T3〉T2〉T1〉T4 in PTH, while it is T1〉T2〉T3〉T4 in TM. For the syllables in sentences, T2 is mid-rise in PTH, while it is mid-level in TM. And the T3 is longer than T4 but shorter than T1 or T2 in PTH, while it is the shortest in TM. Furthermore the effects of prosodic phrase boundary on duration for different tones are almost the same in PTH, but the lengthening part of T1 or T2 is longer than that of T3 or T4 in TM.     

Experimental study on downstep in Chinese intonation

Downstep in pitch contour of Chinese Putonghua is examined using subtly designed sentences by controlling tone combinations. The results show both automatic and nonautomatic downstep phenomena exist in Chinese. In non-automatic downstep, low tones compress downwards the pitch range of the following syllables. and the main influence of downstep is on topline. Low tone not only lower the topline behind it, but also raise the high tones before it, the effects are compatible with each other. In automatic downstep, the topline of pitch contour in intonational phrase is presented as a linear downtrend, but it differs among speakers due to the effect of personal stress practice. In comparison with downstep phenomenon in other tone or non-tone languages, the downstep ratio in Chinese is not constant, and the domain of downstep is not limited within the adjacent tones.     

Abelian-Higgs phase of SU(2) QCD and glueball energy

It is shown that SU(2) QCD admits an dual Abelian-Higgs phase, with a Higgs vacuum of a type-Ⅱ superconductor. This is done by using a connection decomposition for the gluon field and the random-direction approximation. Using a bag picture with soft wall, we presented a calculational procedure for the glueball energy based on the recent proof for wall-vortices [Nucl. Phys. B 741(2006)1].     

Theoretical analysis and simulation of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO system in lidar

A multi-conjugate adaptive optics （MCAO） can offer a possibility of widening field of view （FOV） characterized by the isoplanatic angle, and the choose of conjugate height becomes a basic problem for MCAO, which influences the size of iosplanatic angle. Considering the application of lidar, the isoplanatic angle＇s expressions of two deformable mirrors （DMs） MCAO for uplink and downlink are deduced. The effects of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO are thoughtfully discussed, and the isoplanatic angles are further analyzed. The results show that the isopanatic angle varies with the conjugate height and reaches the maximum as the conjugate height is at the optimal altitude. Moreover, the optimal conjugate height changes with the propagation distance.     

Quick single-photon detector with many avalanche photo diodes working on the time division

Due to the limit of response speed of the present single-photon detector, the code rate is still too low to come into practical use for the present quantum key distribution (QKD) system.A new idea is put up to design a quick single-photon detector.This quick single-photon detector is composed of a multi-port optic-fiber splitter and many avalanche photo diodes (APDs).Au of the ports with APDs work on the time division and cooperate with a logic discriminating and deciding unit driven by the clock signal.The operation frequency lies on the number N of ports, and can reach N times of the conventional single-photon detector.The single-photon prompt detection can come true for high repetition-rate pulses.The applying of this detector will largely raise the code rate of the QKD, and boost the commercial use.     

Signal generation in an isotropic medium in scanning electron acoustic microscope

Based on the research in Ref. [5][Materials Science and Engineering, 1989; A122： 57 63], an improved model of heat source is set up, the different modes of Lamb wave in an isotropic sample generated by a chopped electron beam at frequency f are obtained with integral transform and normal function expansion method, and the output signal of PZT coupled at the back surface of the sample is found out. The generation mechanism of SEAM （Scanning Electron Acoustic Microscopy） signal is discussed. It shows that the SEAM is a near field imaging technique with high spatial resolution and its best lateral spatial resolution is about 2√2α （α is the radius of the focused electron beam）. Some of experimental results of SEAM images are presented in the paper and it shows that the spatial resolution of SEAM is better than 0.5 μm and smaller than the thermal diffusion length of the sample. Therefore the character of near field imaging in SEAM is also proved experimentally.     

High efficiency filtering using two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled cavity structures

Transmission spectra of coupled cavity structures (CCSs) in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) are investigated using a coupled mode theory, and an optical filter based on CCS is proposed. The performance of the filter is investigated using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and the results show that within a very short coupling distance of about 3λ, where λ is the wavelength of signal in vacuum, the incident signals with different frequencies are separated into different channels with a contrast ratio of 20 dB. The advantages of this kind of filter are small size and easily tunable operation frequencies.
