利用激光分子束外延(L-MBE)技术在α-Al2O3(0001)衬底上生长出了沿C轴高度择优取向的ZnO外延薄膜,并采用Philips四晶高分辨X射线衍射仪(Philip′s X′Pert HR-MRD)对ZnO薄膜的表面及结构特性进行了研究.应用小角度X射线分析方法(GIXA)对ZnO薄膜的表面以及ZnO/Al2O3界面状况进行了定量表征.X射线反射率(XRR)曲线出现了清晰的源于良好表面及界面特性的Kiessig干涉振荡峰,通过对其精确拟合求得ZnO薄膜的表面及界面粗糙度分别为0.34 nm和1.12 nm.ZnO薄膜与α-Al2O3(0001)衬底的XRD在面(in-plane) Φ扫描结果表明形成了单一的平行畴(Aligned in-plane Oriented Domains),其在面外延关系为ZnO［1010］ ||Al2O3［1120］.XRD ω-2θ 扫描以及ω 摇摆曲线半峰宽分别为0.12度和1.27度,这一结果表明通过形成平行畴及晶格驰豫过程,ZnO薄膜中的应力得到了有效的释放,但同时也引入了螺位错.     

退火对ZnO薄膜晶体结构和ZnO/p-Si异质结光电性质的影响

采用脉冲激光沉积方法在p-Si(100)衬底卜牛长ZnO薄膜,分别在500℃、600℃和700℃下真空退火,采用X射线衍射仪研究了退火对ZnO薄膜品体结构的影响,并测量了ZnO的面电阻和ZnO/p-Si异质结的、I-V特性曲线.研究表明,随着退火温度的升高,ZnO的(002)衍射峰强度逐渐增大,半峰全宽不断减小,同时薄膜内应力减小,ZnO晶粒尺寸变大.表明高温退火有助于ZnO薄膜结晶质量的提高.在没有光照的条件下,异质结的漏电流随退火温度的增加而增大;用650 nm光照射样品时,600℃退火的样品表现出最明显的光电效应,而过高的退火温度会破坏ZnO/p-Si异质结的界面结构,使其光电流变小.所以,要得到性能良好的光电器件,应选取适当的退火温度.     

ZnO：V薄膜后退火处理前后的微结构与发光特性

利用溶胶-凝胶(Sol-gel)法在单晶硅(100)衬底上分别制备了ZnO:V薄膜和纯ZnO薄膜。为进一步研究后退火对ZnO:V薄膜结构和发光性质的影响,在两段式快速退火后又在800℃下进行了后退火处理。X射线衍射的结果表明:后退火处理前,钒(V)的掺入使ZnO结晶质量变差,而800℃退火处理后,从ZnO的衍射峰中可以看出,相对于无V杂样品其结晶质量变好。扫描电子显微镜形貌图中可以看出制备的样品薄膜颗粒大小均匀,薄膜致密度较高。光致发光(PL)谱的研究表明:ZnO:V薄膜在800℃退火处理后,紫外和绿带发光峰均增强,但紫外发光峰增强得更多;与同样条件下制备的纯ZnO薄膜的PL谱比较,发现V掺杂后样品的紫外激子复合发光峰的强度明显增强且峰位发生蓝移,而缺陷引起的绿带发光峰的强度降低。     

低温外延生长平整ZnO薄膜

在较低温度下实现平整ZnO薄膜的生长有利于ZnO的可控p型掺杂以及获得陡峭异质界面。本文使用分子束外延方法,采用a面蓝宝石为衬底,在450 ℃下生长了一系列ZnO薄膜样品。在富氧生长的条件下,固定氧流量不变,通过调节锌源温度来改变锌束流,以此调控生长速率。样品的生长速率为40~100 nm/h。通过扫描电镜（SEM）表征发现：在高锌束流的生长条件下,样品表面有很多不规则的颗粒;降低锌的供应量后,样品表面逐渐平整。原子力显微镜（AFM）测试结果表明：样品的均方根表面粗糙度（RMS）只有0.238 nm,接近于原子级平整度。这种平整表面的获得得益于较低的生长速率,以及ZnO外延薄膜与a面蓝宝石衬底之间小的晶格失配。     

高浓度Er/Yb共掺ZnO薄膜的结构及室温光致发光特性

采用射频磁控溅射方法制备了Er/Yb共掺ZnO薄膜,研究了退火处理对高浓度Er/Yb共掺ZnO薄膜的结构演化和光致发光(PL)特性的影响。X射线衍射分析结果表明:Er/Yb掺杂导致ZnO薄膜的晶粒细化及择优取向性消失,ZnO晶粒随退火温度的增加而逐渐长大。900℃退火时,出现Er3 、Yb3 偏析,退火温度高于1000℃时,薄膜与基体间发生了界面反应,1200℃时,ZnO完全转变为Zn2SiO4相。光致发光测量结果表明:高于900℃退火处理后,Er/Yb共掺ZnO薄膜在1540 nm附近具有明显的光致发光,发光强度在退火温度为1050℃时达到最大值;光致发光光谱呈现典型的晶体基质中Er3 离子发光光谱所具有的明锐多峰结构特征。此外,探讨了薄膜结构演化及其对光致发光光谱的影响。     

ZnO∶V薄膜后退火处理前后的微结构与发光特性

利用溶胶-凝胶(Sol-gel)法在单晶硅(100)衬底上分别制备了ZnO∶V薄膜和纯ZnO薄膜。为进一步研究后退火对ZnO∶V薄膜结构和发光性质的影响,在两段式快速退火后又在800℃下进行了后退火处理。X射线衍射的结果表明:后退火处理前,钒(V)的掺入使ZnO结晶质量变差,而800℃退火处理后,从ZnO的衍射峰中可以看出,相对于无V杂样品其结晶质量变好。扫描电子显微镜形貌图中可以看出制备的样品薄膜颗粒大小均匀,薄膜致密度较高。光致发光(PL)谱的研究表明:ZnO∶V薄膜在800℃退火处理后,紫外和绿带发光峰均增强,但紫外发光峰增强得更多;与同样条件下制备的纯ZnO薄膜的PL谱比较,发现V掺杂后样品的紫外激子复合发光峰的强度明显增强且峰位发生蓝移,而缺陷引起的绿带发光峰的强度降低。     

反应溅射氧化锌薄膜的结构特点及性质

以金属Zn(纯度为99.99%)作为靶材,采用离子束反应溅射法在玻璃衬底上溅射沉积了一系列ZnO薄膜样品。通过对薄膜样品X射线衍射(XRD)谱的分析,发现尽管溅射条件不同,但是ZnO薄膜只沿(0002)晶面取向生长。衬底温度和溅射气体的氧分压对薄膜沿c轴取向生长有影响,其中衬底温度的影响较明显。溅射过程中发现衬底温度为360℃最适合(0002)晶面的生长,在此温度下溅射获得了完全沿c轴取向生长且衍射峰最强的ZnO薄膜。室温下测量了ZnO薄膜的发射光谱,发现薄膜在紫外区(364nm附近)、蓝绿区(470nm附近)有较强的发光峰,在紫光区(398nm附近)、蓝光区(452nm附近)和红外区(722nm附近)有较弱的发光峰。ZnO薄膜在空气中退火,对薄膜的结构、发光和电学性质都有一定影响。合适的退火温度可以促进薄膜沿c轴的取向生长;退火后ZnO多晶薄膜的晶粒比未退火的略大;退火使部分发光峰的位置发生偏移并使薄膜的发光强度增强;退火使薄膜的电阻率显著增大,薄膜的电阻率随氧分压的增大而增大。     

退火温度及退火气氛对ZnO薄膜的结构及发光性能的影响(英文)

采用脉冲激光沉积技术在Si/蓝宝石衬底上制备了ZnO薄膜,结合快速退火设备研究了不同退火温度(500~900℃)及退火气氛(N2,O2)对薄膜的结构及其发光性能的影响。并优化条件得到具有最小半峰全宽及最大晶粒尺寸的薄膜。X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明:氮气氛下退火的ZnO薄膜最佳退火温度为900℃;氧气氛下退火的ZnO薄膜最佳退火温度为800℃。红外(IR)光谱中,退火后Zn-O特征振动峰红移,说明在退火过程中,原子重新排布后占据较低能量位置;同样的退火温度下,氮气氛下退火的薄膜质量更优。同步辐射光电子能谱(synchrotron-based XPS)分别表征了未退火及N2,O2下900℃退火的ZnO薄膜,分峰拟合结果表明氧气氛下退火产生更多的氧空位。结构表征结合光致发光(PL)谱表明绿光的发光峰与氧空位有关。     

退火氛围对掺杂ZnO薄膜磁性的影响

采用直流磁控反应共溅法制备了非磁性元素Al和磁性元素Co掺杂的ZnO薄膜, 样品原位真空退火后再空气退火处理. 利用X射线衍射仪(XRD) 和物理性能测量仪(PPMS) 对薄膜的结构和磁性进行了表征. XRD和PPMS结果表明, 不同的退火氛围对掺杂薄膜的结构和磁性有着很大的影响. 真空退火的Al掺杂ZnO薄膜没有观察到铁磁性, 而空气退火的样品却显示出明显的室温铁磁性, 铁磁性的来源与空气退火后导致Al和ZnO基体间电荷转移增强有关. 而对于Co掺杂ZnO薄膜, 真空退火后再空气退火, 室温铁磁性明显减弱. 其磁性变化与Co离子和ZnO基体间电荷转移导致磁性增强和间隙Co原子被氧化导致磁性减弱有关.     

退火温度对旋涂法制备SnO_2薄膜性能的影响

采用旋涂法在玻璃基底上制备SnO_2薄膜,通过原子力显微镜(AFM)、X射线反射(XRR)、傅氏转换红外线光谱仪(FT-IR)、X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见分光光度计、四探针、开尔文探针系统对薄膜的表面形貌、结构及光学特性、电学特性进行分析,探讨了退火温度对薄膜质量的影响及作用机制。研究发现:随着退火温度升高,薄膜厚度和有机成分杂质减小,薄膜密度递增,但薄膜表面粗糙度有所上升;当退火温度升高至500℃时,薄膜结构由非晶转变为结晶,其主要晶面为氧化锡的(110)、(101)和(211)晶面。旋涂法制备的氧化锡薄膜在可见光区域的平均透光率在90%以上,随着退火温度上升,薄膜在400～800 nm波段的透光率先减小后增大,薄膜的带隙宽度分别为3. 840 eV(沉积态薄膜)、3. 792 eV(100℃)、3. 690 eV(300℃)和3. 768eV(500℃);薄膜的电导率也随着退火温度升高而增加,在500℃时电导率高达916 S/m;薄膜的功函数先增大后减小,分别为(4. 61±0. 005) eV(沉积态薄膜)、(4. 64±0. 005) eV(100℃)、(4. 82±0. 025) eV(300℃)、(4. 78±0. 065) eV(500℃)。     

Evolution law of Wigner function in laser process

Based on the density operator’s o perator-sum representation r ecently obtained by Fan and Hu for a laser process (Opt. Commun., 2008, 281: 5571; Opt. Commun., 2009, 282: 932; Phys. Lett. B, 2008, 22: 2435), we derive the evolution law of Wigner operator, the law is concisely expressed in the normally ordered formΔ(α,α*,t)=Tπ:exp?[-2T(a?e-(κ-g)t-α*)-(ae-(k-g)t-α)] :, where g and κ are the cavity gain and the loss, respectively, and T≡ (κ-g )(κ+g-2ge^{-2(κ-g) t})^-1. When t=0,Δ(α,α,t)→1π : exp?[-2(a?-α*)-(a-α)] :, which is the initial Wigner operator. Using this formalism the evolution law of Wigner functions in laser process can be directly obtained.     

Diverse magnetism in stable and metastable structures of CrTe

In this paper, we systematically investigated the structural and magnetic properties of CrTe by combining particle swarm optimization algorithm and first-principles calculations. By considering the electronic correlation effect, we predicted the ground-state structure of CrTe to be NiAs-type (space group P6₃/mmc) structure at ambient pressure, consistent with the experimental observation. Moreover, we found two extra meta-stable Cmcaand R\overline{3}m structures which have negative formation enthalpy and stable phonon dispersion at ambient pressure. The Cmcastructure is a layered antiferromagnetic metal. The cleaved energy of a single layer is 0.464 J/m² , indicating the possible synthesis of CrTe monolayer. The R\overline{3}m structure is a ferromagnetic half-metal. When external pressure is applied, the ground-state structure of CrTe transitions from P63/mmc structure to R\overline{3}m structure at a pressure of 34 GPa, then to R\overline{3}m structure at 42 GPa. We thought these results help to motivate experimental studies of the CrTe compounds in the application of spintronics.     

On the entangled fractional squeezing transformation

We propose an entangled fractional squeezing transformation (EFrST) generated by using two mutually conjugate entangled state representations with the following operator: e-iα(a1?a2?+a1a2)eiπa2?a2; this transformation sharply contrasts the complex fractional Fourier transformation produced by using e-iα(a1?a2?+a2?a2)eiπa2?a2 (see Front. Phys. DOI 10.1007/s11467-014-0445-x). The EFrST is obtained by converting the triangular functions in the integration kernel of the usual fractional Fourier transformation into hyperbolic functions, i.e., tanα → tanhα and sinα → sinhα. The fractional property of the EFrST can be well described by virtue of the properties of the entangled state representations.     

Kinetic modeling of multiphase flow based on simplified Enskog equation

A new kinetic model for multiphase flow was presented under the framework of the discrete Boltzmann method (DBM). Significantly different from the previous DBM, a bottom-up approach was adopted in this model. The effects of molecular size and repulsion potential were described by the Enskog collision model; the attraction potential was obtained through the mean-field approximation method. The molecular interactions, which result in the non-ideal equation of state and surface tension, were directly introduced as an external force term. Several typical benchmark problems, including Couette flow, two-phase coexistence curve, the Laplace law, phase separation, and the collision of two droplets, were simulated to verify the model. Especially, for two types of droplet collisions, the strengths of two non-equilibrium effects, {\overline{D}}_2^{*} and {\overline{D}}_3^{*} , defined through the second and third order non-conserved kinetic moments of (f-f^{eq}), are comparatively investigated, where f\left(f^{eq}\right)is the (equilibrium) distribution function. It is interesting to find that during the collision process, {\overline{D}}_2^{*} is always significantly larger than {\overline{D}}_3^{*}, {\overline{D}}_2^{*} can be used to identify the different stages of the collision process and to distinguish different types of collisions. The modeling method can be directly extended to a higher-order model for the case where the non-equilibrium effect is strong, and the linear constitutive law of viscous stress is no longer valid.     

Self-organized criticality in multi-pulse gamma-ray bursts

The variability in multi-pulse gamma-ray bursts(GRBs)may help to reveal the mechanism of underlying processes from the central engine.To investigate whether the self-organized criticality(SOC)phenomena exist in the prompt phase of GRBs,we statistically study the proper ties of GRBs with more than 3 pulses in each burst by fitting the distributions of several observed physical variables with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach,including the isotropic energy E_iso,the duration time T,and the peak count rate P of each pulse.Our sample consists of 454 pulses in 93 GRBs observed by the CGRO/BATSE satellite.The best-fitting values and uncertainties for these power-law indices of the differential frequency distributions are:α_E^d=1.54±0.09,α_T^d=1.82_-0.15^+0.14andα_P^d=2.09_-0.19^0.18,while the power-law indices in the cumulative frequency distributions are:α_E^c=1.44_-0.10^+0.08,α_T^c=1.75_-0.13^0.11andα_P^c=1.99_-0.19^+0.16.We find that these distributions are roughly consistent with the physical framework of a Fractal-Diffusive,Self^Organized Criticality(FD-SOC)system with the spatial dimension S=3 and the classical diffusionβ=1.Our results support that the jet responsible for the GRBs should be magnetically dominated and magnetic instabilities(e.g.,kink model,or tearing-model instability)lead the GRB emission region into the SOC state.     

Gluon number fluctuations and diffusive scaling effect

The diffusive scaling is studied based on pomeron loop equations in the fixed coupling case. At Y?YDS, the gluon number fluctuations become important, the geometric scaling is replaced by the diffusive scaling. In the diffusive scaling regime, the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) total scattering cross-section is a function of single variable ln?[1/(r2Qs2(X))]/DY. We show that the deep inelastic scattering experimental data lie on a single curve, which seems to indicate the existence of the diffusive scaling phenomenology in the deep inelastic scattering.     

Relation between gravitational mass and baryonic mass for non-rotating and rapidly rotating neutron stars

With a selected sample of neutron star(NS)equations of state(EOSs)that are consistent with the current observations and have a range of maximum masses,we investigate the relations between NS gravitational mass Mg and baryonic mass and the relations between the maximum NS mass supported through uniform rotation(Mmax)and that of nonrotating NSs(Mtov).We find that for an EOS-independent quadratic,universal transformation formula(Mb=Mg+A×M^2/g),the best-fit A value is 0.080 for non-rotating NSs,0.064 for maximally rotating NSs,and 0.073 when NSs with arbitrary rotation are considered.The residual error of the transformation is?0.1M⊙ for non-spin or maximum-spin,but is as large as?0.2M⊙ for all spins.For different EOSs,we find that the parameter A for non-rotating NSs is proportional to R^-1/1.4(where R1.4 is NS radius for 1.4M⊙ in units of km).For a particular EOS,if one adopts the best-fit parameters for different spin periods,the residual error of the transformation is smaller,which is of the order of O.O1M⊙ for the quadratic form and less than O.O1M⊙ for the cubic form(Mb=Mg+A1×M^2/g+A2×M^3/g).We also find a very tight and general correlation between the normalized mass gain due to spin △m≡(Mmax-MTOV)MTOV and the spin period normalized to the Keplerian period P,i.e.,log10 △m=(-2.74±0.05)log10 P+log10(0.20±0.01),which is independent of EOS models.These empirical relations are helpful to study NS-NS mergers with a long-lived NS merger product using multi-messenger data.The application of our results to GW170817 is discussed.     

Spatial modulation of unitary impurity-induced resonances in superconducting CeCoIn5

Motivated by recent experimental progress in high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques, we investigate the local quasiparticle density of states around a unitary impurity in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn₅. Based on the T -matrix approach we obtain a sharp nearly zero-energy resonance state in the strong impurity potential scattering localized around the impurity and find qualitative differences in the spatial pattern of the tunneling conductance modulated by the nodal structure of the superconducting gap. These unique features may be used as a probe of the superconducting gap symmetry and, in combination with further STM measurements, may help to confirm the dx2−y2 pairing in CeCoIn₅ at ambient pressure.

Conditions for ponderomotive resonances in the Kapitza–Dirac effect

By applying a nonperturbative quantum electrodynamic theory, we study ponderomotive resonances when an electron beam is scattered by a standing photon wave. Our study shows that the ponderomotive parameter u_p, the ponderomotive energy per laser-photon energy, for each of the two traveling laser modes possesses a minimum value ℏω/(mec2). Ponderomotive resonances occur only when the ratio of the laser photon energy to the electron rest-mass energy is a fraction, where the denominator is twice the square of a positive integer and the numerator is the total ponderomotive number, which is also a positive integer.
