硅烯中受电场调控的体能隙和朗道能级

近年来, 硅烯(单层硅)由于其独特的结构和电子性质以及在量子霍尔效应等领域的潜在应用而成为理论和实验研究的一个热点. 借助于四带次近邻紧束缚模型, 详细计算和研究了硅烯中受电场调制的体能隙和电子能级. 结果表明: 硅烯原胞中的两个子格处于不同的平面上, 可以通过外电场区分和控制这两个子格, 这将破坏在纯石墨烯中无法被破坏的K-K'对称性, 并消除由这一对称性导致的电子能级的二重简并; 外加电场还会引起硅烯中次近邻格点之间的Rashba自旋轨道耦合, 这一作用会在不同狄拉克点有选择地消除电子能级在部分电场点的简并, 相邻能级从交叉状态变为反交叉状态; 电子能级中除一些孤立的交叉点外, 每个能级都具有确定的自旋取向, 石墨烯中电子能级的四重简并在硅烯中被完全消除, 从而导致填充因子ν=0, ±1, ±2, ±3,…的量子霍尔平台.     

磁场中的拓扑绝缘体边缘态性质

用数值方法研究了拓扑绝缘体薄膜体系在外加垂直磁场 作用下其边缘态的性质. 磁场的加入通过耦合k+eA, 即Peierls势替换关系和 该作用导致的Zeeman交换场体现在哈密顿量中. 考虑窄条圆环状结构的二维InAs/GaSb/AlSb薄膜量子阱材料, 当其处于拓扑非平庸状态, 即量子自旋霍尔态时, 会出现受时间反演对称性保护的两支简并边缘态, 而在垂直磁场的作用下, 时间反演对称性被破坏, 这时能带将形成一条条的朗道能级, 原来简并的两支边缘态也会分开到朗道能级谱线的两侧, 从电子态密度的空间分布情况则可以看到边缘态分别局域在材料的两个边界. 随着磁场的增大, 位于同一边界上的不同 自旋极化的边缘态将出现分离: 一支仍然局域在边缘, 另一支则随外加磁场的增加而有逐渐演化到材料内部的趋势. 文中还计算了同一边界上的两支边缘态之间的散射, 结果表明由于两个边缘态在空间发生分离, 相互之间的散射被很大的压制, 得到了其散射随磁场增加没有明显变化的结论, 所以磁场并不会增强散射过程, 也没有破坏体拓扑材料的性质, 说明了量子自旋霍尔态在没有时间反演对称的情况下也可以有较强的稳定性.     

Reducing Detrimental Defects for High‐Performance Metal Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

In several photovoltaic (PV) technologies, the presence of electronic defects within the semiconductor band gap limit the efficiency, reproducibility, as well as lifetime. Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have drawn great attention because of their excellent photovoltaic properties that can be achieved even without a very strict film‐growth control processing. Much has been done theoretically in describing the different point defects in MHPs. Herein, we discuss the experimental challenges in thoroughly characterizing the defects in MHPs such as, experimental assignment of the type of defects, defects densities, and the energy positions within the band gap induced by these defects. The second topic of this Review is passivation strategies. Based on a literature survey, the different types of defects that are important to consider and need to be minimized are examined. A complete fundamental understanding of defect nature in MHPs is needed to further improve their optoelectronic functionalities.     

Suppression of super-harmonic resonance response using a linear vibration absorber

Super-harmonic resonances may appear in the forced response of a weakly nonlinear oscillator having cubic nonlinearity, when the forcing frequency is approximately equal to one-third of the linearized natural frequency. Under super-harmonic resonance conditions, the frequency-response curve of the amplitude of the free-oscillation terms may exhibit saddle-node bifurcations, jump and hysteresis phenomena. A linear vibration absorber is used to suppress the super-harmonic resonance response of a cubically nonlinear oscillator with external excitation. The absorber can be considered as a small mass-spring-damper oscillator and thus does not adversely affect the dynamic performance of the nonlinear primary oscillator. It is shown that such a vibration absorber is effective in suppressing the super-harmonic resonance response and eliminating saddle-node bifurcations and jump phenomena of the nonlinear oscillator. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the absorber in attenuating the super-harmonic resonance response.     

Free vibration of non-uniform column using DQM

Most of engineering problems are governed by a set of partial differential equations with proper boundary conditions. The present work is concerned with free vibration analysis of non-uniform column resting on elastic foundation and subjected to follower force. The used method of solution is the differential quadrature method (DQM). Formulation of the problem is introduced. The results obtained and compared with the exact solution and traditional numerical techniques such as finite element method. The parametric study is used to investigate the effect of column geometry on the natural frequencies, the mode shapes and the critical load.     

Exchange charge model and analysis of the microscopic crystal field effects in KAl(MoO4)2:Cr

In the present paper, we report on consistent crystal field calculations of the Cr³⁺ ions energy levels in KAl(MoO₄)₂ using actual D_3d site symmetry of the Cr³⁺ position and employing the exchange charge model (ECM) of the crystal field. In addition to the energy level calculations, the Huang-Rhys factor S=5.7 and effective phonon energy ?ω=268 cm^-1 were evaluated in the single configurational coordinate model. Detailed treatment of the microscopic crystal field effects in the ECM framework allowed to obtain analytical dependence of the crystal field strength 10Dq on the Cr-O interionic distance and extracting from it the values of some parameters of the electron-vibrational interaction (EVI) in the KAl(MoO₄)₂:Cr³⁺ system. All obtained results are compared with experimental data and discussed; agreement between the calculated and experimental parameters is good.     

Thickness-shear vibration of a quartz plate connected to piezoelectric plates and electric field sensing

We study thickness-shear vibration of a quartz plate connected to two piezoelectric ceramic plates with initial deformations caused by a biasing electric field. The theory for small deformations superposed on finite biasing deformations in an electroelastic body is used. It is shown that the resonant frequencies of the incremental thickness-shear vibration of the quartz plate vary with the biasing electric field. The biasing electric field induced frequency shift depends linearly on the field. Therefore this effect may be used for electric field sensing. The dependence of the electric field induced frequency shift on various material and geometric parameters is examined. When the electric field is of the order of 100 V/mm, the relative frequency shift is of the order of 10⁻⁵. The case when the piezoelectric plates are replaced by piezomagnetic plates is also investigated for magnetic field sensing, and similar results are obtained.

Temperature dependence of the properties of strong-coupling bipolaron in a quantum dot

Temperature dependence of the properties of strong-coupling bipolaron in a quantum dot (QD) is studied based on the Lee-Low-Pines-Huybrechts variational method and quantum statistical theory. Results of the numerical calculation show that the vibration frequency as well as the absolute value of the induced potential and the effective potential all increase with increasing coupling strength and temperature, respectively, and they also increase with decreasing relative distance of electrons. The bipolarons are closer and more stable when the temperature is higher and coupling strength is larger. The influence of radius of QD and dielectric constant ratio on the effective potential is little.
