单壁碳纳米管微分电导在高压和强磁场下的实验研究

单壁碳纳米管在高压下会发生结构相变，导致金属型的碳纳米管变成半导体.相变后碳纳米管中电子的库仑关联的表现形式发生变化，从Luttinger liquid行为转变成环境量子涨落行为.同时，相变后电子波函数的相位关联导致弱局域化行为的出现.为了研究库仑关联和相位关联之间是否有相互影响，使用金刚石对顶砧和液压自锁高压包在0—10 GPa准静压范围内测量了单层碳纳米管样品在低温和不同磁场下的微分电导随偏压的依赖关系.实验结果表明，相位关联和库仑关联是两种独立的效应，各自影响着电子的输运行为. 关键词： 单层碳纳米管 高压 微分电导

Fiber-optic sensing of high static pressure

Abstract

This paper describes a new fiber-optic sensor for pressures up to 200 MPa, based on the effect of hydrostatic stress on the polarization-mode coupling which occurs in highly birefringent fibers. Sensor construction, measurement set-up and typical output are presented. Results show that this new sensor displays far greater sensitivity when compared to solid-state pressure sensors.     

Steady and transient behavior of perylene under high pressure

Pressure can reduce the distances among atoms, thereby modifying the overall optical characteristics of molecules. In this article, the excited state behavior of perylene is carefully observed under isotropic pressure and non-complexing condition. In a steady state, absorption peak shows red shift and spectral width are broadened with pressure increasing, which is ascribed to the π-electron delocalization between molecules. In a transient state, the transition dynamics presents a wavelike tendency with pressure increasing because the shift of self-tapping exciton state is contrary to that of Y-state with pressure increasing. The results conduce to understanding the influence of inter-molecule interaction on excited state behavior with inter-molecule distance decreasing, which contributes to studying the materials under extreme condition.     

In-situ high pressure X-ray diffraction studies of orthoferrite SmFeO_3

The high-pressure behaviors of SmFeO3 are investigated by angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction under a pressure of up to 40.3 GPa at room temperature. The crystal structure of SmFeO3 remains stable at up to the highest pressure. The different pressure coefficients of the normalized axial compressibility are obtained to be βa = 0.60 × 10-3 GPa-1,βb = 0.79 × 10-3 GPa-1, βc = 1.28 × 10-3 GPa- 1, and the bulk modulus （B0） is determined to be 293（3） GPa by fitting the pressure-volume data using the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. Furthermore, the larger compressibility of the FeO6 octahedra suggests the evolution of the orthorhombic structure towards higher symmetry configuration at high pressures.     

Evidence of polymorphic transformations of Sn under high pressure

The high-pressure polymorphs and structural transformation of Sn were experimentally investigated using angledispersive synchrotron x-ray diffraction up to 108.9 GPa. The results show that at least at 12.8 GPa β-Sn→bct structure transformation was completed and no two-phase coexistence was found. By using a long-wavelength x-ray, we resolved the diffraction peaks splitting and discovered the formation of a new distorted orthorhombic structure bco from the bct structure at 31.8 GPa. The variation of the lattice parameters and their ratios with pressure further validate the observation of the bco polymorph. The bcc structure appears at 40.9 GPa and coexists with the bco phase throughout a wide pressure range of40.9 GPa–73.1 GPa. Above 73.1 GPa, only the bcc polymorph is observed. The systematically experimental investigation confirms the phase transition sequence of Sn as β-Sn→bct→bco→ bco + bcc→bcc upon compression to 108.9 GPa at room temperature.     

Superconducting properties of barium in three phases under high pressure from first principles

Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) in the three high-pressure phases of Ba is investigated using a pseudopotential plane-wave method based on density functional perturbation theory. The calculated values of superconducting critical temperature T c of Ba-I and Ba-II under pressure are consistent well with the trends observed experimentally. Moreover, Ba-V is found to be superconducting with a maximum T c exceeding 7.8 K at 45 GPa. With the increase of pressure, the values of T c increase in Ba I and Ba-II but the value of T c decreases in Ba-V. For Ba-I at pressures below 2 GPa, the increases of logarithmic average frequency ω log and electron-phonon coupling parameters λ both contribute to the enhancement of T c . For all the three phases at pressures above 2 GPa, T c is found to be primarily determined by λ . Further investigation reveals that for all the three phases, the change in λ with pressure can be explained mainly by change in the phonon frequency. Thus for Ba-II and Ba-V, although they exhibit completely different superconducting behaviors, their superconductivities have the same origin; the pressure dependence of T c is determined finally by the pressure dependence of phonon frequency.

基于路径积分分子动力学与热力学积分方法的高压氢自由能计算

在相图研究中, 严格计算一个真实系统在特定温度、压强下的自由能是近年来该领域理论方法发展的前沿. 自Mermin提出有限温度密度泛函理论后, 在电子结构层面, 弱关联系统中人们就其在对自由能贡献的描述已相对完善, 但在原子核运动的描述上, 热运动与量子运动的非简谐项却总被忽视. 本文将路径积分分子动力学与热力学积分结合, 对300 GPa下氢晶体Cmca 结构中原子核热涨落与量子涨落对自由能的影响进行了分析. 发现在100 K核量子涨落非简谐项的贡献约为15 meV每原子, 远大于不同结构间静态焓的差别. 该研究提醒人们简谐近似在核量子效应描述中可能存在的不准确性(即使在低温下). 同时, 我们采取的方法 也为人们进行自由能的准确计算提供了一个简单有效的手段.     

The representation of thermodynamic properties at high pressures

It is sometimes advantageous to have an expression for the Gibbs energy, G_m(T,P), from which one can analytically derive an expression for the Heimholtz energy, F_m(T, V_m). Such an expression is suggested for solid substances and it is shown how expressions for other physical properties can be derived from it.     

Equations of state of MgO at high pressure and temperature

Abstract

A synchrotron X-ray diffraction study on MgO has been done at simultaneous high pressure and temperature. The lattice parameter of MgO has been measured up to a static pressure of 6 GPa and a temperature of 1273 K, using a large volume pressure cell and energy-dispersive synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. The compression was made following six high-temperature isotherms. A Vinet equation of state was used to fit the experimental P-V-T data. The Vinet's model compares very well with the experimental data above the Debye temperature (760 K) and allows the use of MgO as an alternative internal pressure calibrant for experiments at high temperature.     

Structural phase transition in Bi2Te3 under high pressure

Structural change in Bi₂Te₃ under high pressure up to 16.6 GPa has been studied by powder x-ray diffraction. We observed two times of phase transitions at room temperature at the pressures of 8 and 14 GPa, respectively. According to our preliminary result on electrical resistance, it is reasonable to suppose that superconducting transition with T _c =2.8 K at the pressures of 10.2 GPa is observed in phase II. On the other hand, we found anomalies of the pressure dependences of lattice parameters and volume at around 2 GPa, which probably means the change in electrical structure on the Fermi surface.     

Thermal and elastic properties of thorium pnictides under high pressure

Thorium pnictides crystallise in Fm 3 m space group at ambient condition and transform to Pm 3 m space group under pressure. We have investigated the phase transition, elastic and thermophysical properties of thorium pnictides by means of a modified charge-transfer potential model. This model incorporates Coulomb effect modified by Coulomb screening effect due to the delocalisation of the electron of Th-ion (charge-transfer) and covalency along with repulsion extended up to next-nearest neighbours. Present model is capable of explaining the Cauchy's discrepancy correctly. The calculated values of the phase-transition pressure (P _T = 70.6, 29.6, 24.3 and 11.5 GPa) and relative volume collapse (6.37, 11.22, 9.92 and 9.27%) for ThN, ThP, ThAs and ThSb, respectively, are in good agreement with the experimental data. The equation of state has been plotted to obtain phase diagram.     

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on phenolic compounds,ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity in cashew apple juice

The cashew apple is native to Brazil, but there is insufficient information regarding the nutritional properties of this fruit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of high pressure processing (HPP) at room temperature (25 °C) on phenolic compound and ascorbic acid contents and antioxidant capacity of cashew apple juice. This study showed that HPP at 250 or 400 MPa for 3, 5 and 7 min did not change pH, acidity, total soluble solids, ascorbic acid or hydrolysable polyphenol contents. However, juice pressurized for 3 and 5 min showed higher soluble polyphenol contents. Antioxidant capacity, measured by the ferric-reducing antioxidant power method, was not altered by HPP, but when treated at 250 MPa for 3 min, it resulted in an increased value when 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl was used. These data demonstrate that HPP can be used in the food industry for the generation of products with higher nutritional quality.     

Local microstructural analysis for Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+)/Mg~(2+) nanorods by Raman and photoluminescence spectra under high pressure

In this paper, we investigate the Raman and photoluminescence spectra of Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+) and Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+)/Mg~(2+) nanorods under high pressures using 514-nm and 532-nm laser light excitation. We observe transitions from the initial cubic phase to amorphous at pressures higher than 24 GPa for both Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+) and Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+)/Mg~(2+) nanorods. In addition, Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+) and Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+)/Mg~(2+) nanorods exhibit different distorted states after the pressure has been raised to 8 GPa. The analyses of intensity ratios, I_(0-2)/I_(0-1) from ~5D_(0–)~7F2_to~5D_(0–)~7F_1and I_(0-2)A/B of ~5D_(0–)7F_2 transitions indicate that Y_2O_3/Eu~(3+)/Mg~(2+) nanorods exhibit stronger local micro-surrounding characteristics for Eu~(3+) ions in a pressuremodulated crystal field. The doped Mg2+ion results in reducing the crystal ionicity in the distorted lattice state under high pressures. The use of doped ions as an ion modifier can be applied to the study of small local microstructural changes through Eu~(3+) luminescence.

Pressure-induced phase transition in transition metal trifluorides

As a fundamental thermodynamic variable, pressure can alter the bonding patterns and drive phase transitions leading to the creation of new high-pressure phases with exotic properties that are inaccessible at ambient pressure. Using the swarm intelligence structural prediction method, the phase transition of TiF₃, from R—3c to the Pnma phase, was predicted at high pressure, accompanied by the destruction of TiF₆ octahedra and formation of TiF₈ square antiprismatic units. The Pnma phase of TiF₃, formed using the laser-heated diamond-anvil-cell technique was confirmed via high-pressure x-ray diffraction experiments. Furthermore, the in situ electrical measurements indicate that the newly found Pnma phase has a semiconducting character, which is also consistent with the electronic band structure calculations. Finally, it was shown that this pressure-induced phase transition is a general phenomenon in ScF₃, VF₃, CrF₃, and MnF₃, offering valuable insights into the high-pressure phases of transition metal trifluorides.

高压下ZnO超快极性扩散过程研究

 利用X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电镜（SEM）等手段，研究了在5 GPa 压力下六方ZnO粉末的结晶过程。系统考查了温度与保温时间对ZnO扩散与结晶过程的影响。结果发现，在高压下ZnO固体的扩散速度大大增加，400 ℃保温0.5 h即可获得理论密度达99%以上的单相、致密的六方相ZnO陶瓷，所有样品均沿晶界开裂，并导致500 ℃以上只能获得单晶与多晶混合的粉末样品；850 ℃保温5 min可制备出平均尺寸超过100 μm、最大尺寸超过350 μm的浅黄色单晶。对实验结果的分析表明：ZnO固体在高压下可能存在一种超快极性扩散机制，这一效应使高压下的ZnO晶粒沿择优方向迅速生长，晶界快速迁移，相邻晶粒生长融合，最后形成单晶；而晶粒在生长过程中沿其它方向发生收缩，促使样品沿晶界开裂。
