Effects of some complex-forming ligands on the potential of antimony pH-sensors

The E vs. pH relationship for oriented monocrystalline antimony electrodes was studied in various ionic media, containing no buffer or one of several common buffer substances, and the stability of the electrode potential with time was investigated. Several makes of commercially available polycrystalline antimony electrodes were also studied. The results indicate that tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane may be used for calibration of antimony electrodes, but most other commonly used buffer substances, e.g., orthophosphate, yield erroneous results. Monocrystalline antimony electrodes are preferable to polycrystalline ones, especially when measurements are made in unstirred solutions. The long-term stability of monocrystalline electrodes is superior to that of polycrystalline ones.

Roles of V/III ratio and mixture degree in GaN growth: CFD and MD simulation study

To understand the mechanism of Gallium nitride (GaN) film growth is of great importance for their potential applica- tions. In this paper, we investigate the growth behavior of the GaN film by combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Both of the simulations show that V/III mixture degree can have important impacts on the deposition behavior, and it is found that the more uniform the mixture is, the better the growth is. Besides, by using MD simulations, we illustrate the whole process of the GaN growth. Furthermore, we also find that the V/III ratio can affect the final roughness of the GaN film. When the V/III ratio is high, the surface of final GaN film is smooth. The present study provides insights into GaN growth from the macroscopic and microscopic views, which may provide some suggestions on better experimental GaN preparation.     

Exact quantum defect theory approach for lithium in magnetic fields

We calculate the diamagnetic spectrum of lithium at highly excited states up to the positive energy range using the exact quantum defect theory approach. The concerned excitation is one-photon transition from the ground state 2s to the highly excited states np with π and σ polarizations respectively. Lithium has a small quantum defect value 0.05 for the np states, and its diamagnetic spectrum is very similar to that of hydrogen in the energy range approaching the ionization limit. However, a careful calculation shows that the spectrum has a significant discrepancy with that of hydrogen when the energy is lower than 70cm-1 . The effect of the quantum defect is also discussed for the Stark spectrum. It is found that the σ transition to the np states in an electric field has a similar behavior to that of hydrogen due to zero interaction with channel ns.     

Effect of electron correlation on high-order harmonic generation in helium model atom

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) of a helium model atom in an intense laser field has been numerically investigated. The influence of electron correlation on HHG is analysed by changing the strength between the electrons. The numerical results show that as the electron interaction strength becomes small, the first ionization energy increases rapidly, which results in the decrease in ionization. So the conversion efficiency of the high harmonic lying in the plateau decreases greatly, while the cutoff harmonic order in the harmonic spectrum increases.
