Jamming and crystallization in athermal polymer packings

Dense packings of chains of hard spheres possess characteristic features that do not have a counterpart in corresponding packings of monomeric spheres especially near the maximally random jammed (MRJ) state. From the modelling perspective the additional requirement that spheres keep their connectivity while maximizing the occupied volume fraction imposes severe constraints on generation algorithms of dense chain configurations. The extremely sluggish dynamics imposed by the uncrossability of chains precludes the use of deterministic or stochastic dynamics to generate all but dilute polymer packings. As a viable alternative, especially tailored chain-connectivity-altering Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms have been developed that bypass this kinetic hindrance and have actually been able to produce packings of hard-sphere chains in a volume fraction range spanning from infinite dilution up to the MRJ state. Such very dense athermal polymer packings share a number of structural features with packings of monomeric hard spheres, but also display unique characteristics due to the constraints imposed by connectivity. We give an overview of the most relevant results of our recent modeling work on packings of freely-jointed chains of tangent hard spheres about the MRJ state, local structure, chain dimensions and their scaling with density, topological constraints in the form of entanglements and knots, contact network at jamming, and entropically driven crystallization.     

Complex force network in marginally and deeply jammed solids

This paper studies the force network properties of marginally and deeply jammed packings of frictionless soft particlesfrom the perspective of complex network theory. We generate zero-temperature granular packings at different pressures by minimizing the inter-particle potential energy. The force networks are constructed as nodes representing particles and links representing normal forces between the particles. Deeply jammed solids show remarkably different behavior from marginally jammed solids in their degree distribution, strength distribution, degree correlation, and clustering coefficient. Bimodal and multi-modal distributions emerge when the system enters the deep jamming region. The results also show that small and large particles can show different correlation behavior in this simple system.     

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.

Some Useful Integral Representations for Information-Theoretic Analyses

This work is an extension of our earlier article, where a well-known integral representation of the logarithmic function was explored and was accompanied with demonstrations of its usefulness in obtaining compact, easily-calculable, exact formulas for quantities that involve expectations of the logarithm of a positive random variable. Here, in the same spirit, we derive an exact integral representation (in one or two dimensions) of the moment of a nonnegative random variable, or the sum of such independent random variables, where the moment order is a general positive non-integer real (also known as fractional moments). The proposed formula is applied to a variety of examples with an information-theoretic motivation, and it is shown how it facilitates their numerical evaluations. In particular, when applied to the calculation of a moment of the sum of a large number, n, of nonnegative random variables, it is clear that integration over one or two dimensions, as suggested by our proposed integral representation, is significantly easier than the alternative of integrating over n dimensions, as needed in the direct calculation of the desired moment.
