压力及杂质氢对金属锂弹性特性的影响

针对六角密堆金属锂16个原子超晶胞(supercell)、填隙一个氢原子的周期单元，采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波-赝势方法，研究了零温条件下压力及填隙氢掺杂对体系弹性性质的影响.结果表明氢掺杂导致体系的体模量增加.常压下掺杂体系的弹性常数C₁₁，C₃₃，C₆₆和C₁₂高于单质体系，剪切模量C₄₄有所下降，而C₁₃则与单质体系持平.压力作用下C₁₁，C₃₃和C₆₆一直大于单质体系，但C₁₂的值低于单质体系.在2GPa—4GPa压力区间内，弹性常数C₁₃呈反常变化，小于单质体系；在高压区掺杂体系的C₄₄和C₁₃则高于单质体系的相应量值，压力导致掺杂体系和单质体系之间剪切模的偏离加剧.掺杂体系在压力作用下依然保持压缩模的各向同性，具有和单质体系相似的特性. 关键词： 第一性原理 压力效应 弹性常数 金属锂     

硫化锰电子结构的软X射线共振非弹性散射研究

利用软X射线共振非弹性散射谱(resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering, RIXS)对3d过渡金属硫化物中的硫化锰(MnS)电子结构进行了研究.通过分析Mn²⁺的2p⁶3d⁵→2p⁵3d⁶→2p⁶3d⁵二次光子过程，得到了共振非弹性散射谱中的两类非弹性峰，d-d电子跃迁和电荷转移(charge-transfer)跃迁.这两部分跃迁分别共振增强于L边附近及伴随峰附近.基于Hartree-Fock方法的多重态计算分别模拟了原子近似下和立方体O_h对称群下共振非弹性散射谱及吸收谱.计算得MnS实际晶体场10Dq值介于0.80eV—0.85eV之间.对MnS和MnO CT跃迁差异的讨论表明MnS较强的CT跃迁来源于其较窄的能隙宽度. 关键词： 软X射线共振非弹性散射 软X射线吸收谱 d-d跃迁 电荷转移

运用密度泛函理论体系下的平面波赝势(PWP)和广义梯度近似(GGA)方法，计算研究了闪锌矿结构的ZnS晶体在不同的外界压强下的电子结构. 通过分析发现，随着外界压强的增大，晶格常数和键长在不断缩小，从S原子向Zn原子转移的电荷越来越少，Zn—S键的共价性逐渐增强，Zn原子和S原子的态密度都有不同程度的变化，而且还有向低能量移动的趋势. 当外界压强达到24GPA时，ZnS从直接带隙半导体变成间接带隙半导体，而且随着压强的增大，间接带隙逐渐变小，直接带隙逐渐增大. 关键词： 闪锌矿结构 态密度 能带结构 密度泛函理论

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of Fe(1 1 0) single crystal: Many-body interactions between quasi-particles at the Fermi level

A high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of Fe(1 1 0) single crystal was conducted to elucidate many-body interactions between quasi-particles at the Fermi level at low-temperature. Two kink structures were observed in the energy-band dispersion at the binding energies of ∼40 meV and ∼270 meV for the bulk-derived band on the majority-spin Fermi surface around the Γ point. Based on analyses of the experimentally obtained real parts of the self-energy, these kink structures are derived from electron-phonon and electron-magnon interactions.     

The contribution of high frequencies to human brain activity underlying horizontal localization of natural spatial sounds

Background  

In the field of auditory neuroscience, much research has focused on the neural processes underlying human sound localization. A recent magnetoencephalography (MEG) study investigated localization-related brain activity by measuring the N1m event-related response originating in the auditory cortex. It was found that the dynamic range of the right-hemispheric N1m response, defined as the mean difference in response magnitude between contralateral and ipsilateral stimulation, reflects cortical activity related to the discrimination of horizontal sound direction. Interestingly, the results also suggested that the presence of realistic spectral information within horizontally located spatial sounds resulted in a larger right-hemispheric N1m dynamic range. Spectral cues being predominant at high frequencies, the present study further investigated the issue by removing frequencies from the spatial stimuli with low-pass filtering. This resulted in a stepwise elimination of direction-specific spectral information. Interaural time and level differences were kept constant. The original, unfiltered stimuli were broadband noise signals presented from five frontal horizontal directions and binaurally recorded for eight human subjects with miniature microphones placed in each subject's ear canals. Stimuli were presented to the subjects during MEG registration and in a behavioral listening experiment.     

Intracavity frequency doubling of an active Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with 2.25 W output power at 473 nm

An active Q-switched diode-end-pumped Nd:YAG laser is reported with 2.9 W output power on the ⁴F_3/2 → ⁴I_9/2 transitions at a pump power of 24 W. With intracavity frequency doubling using a 20-mm-long LBO, a maximum blue output power of 2.25 W is achieved at a repetition rate of 23 kHz. The conversion efficiency from the corresponding Q-switched fundamental output to blue output is 96%. The peak power of the Q-switched blue pulse is up to 610 W with 160 ns pulse width. The fluctuation of the blue output power is less than 4.0% at the maximum output power.     

Multiple ionization of argon accompanied by electron loss and capture of 0.22-6.35 MeV C^q＋ ions

In this paper a projectile ions recoil ions coincidence technique is employed to investigate the target ionization and projectile charge state changing processes in the collision of 0.22-6.35 MeV Cq^＋ （q = 1 - 4） ions with argon atoms. The partial cross section ratios of the double, triple, quadruplicate ionization to the single ionization （or the single capture） of argon associated with single electron loss （or single electron capture） by the projectile are measured and compared with the previous experimental results. In the present experiment, it is observed that the ratios of ionization cross sections R associated with single loss and single capture depend strongly on the projectile charge state and vary significantly with different reaction channels as impact energy increases. In addition, this paper gets empirical scaling laws for the ionization cross section ratios R corresponding to the projectile single loss and finds that the ratios of the double ionization to the single ionization associated with single electron capture remain constant in the present energy range.     

Effects of duty ratio at low frequency on growth mechanism of micro-plasma oxidation ceramic coatings on Ti alloy

The aim of this work is to study the effects of duty ratio on the growth mechanism of the ceramic coatings on Ti-6Al-4V alloy prepared by pulsed single-polar MPO at 50 Hz in NaAlO₂ solution. The phase composition of the coatings was studied by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology and the element distribution in the coating were examined through scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The thickness of the coatings was measured by eddy current coating thickness gauge. The corrosion resistance of the coated samples was examined by linear sweep voltammetry technique in 3.5% NaCl solution. The changes of the duty ratio (D) of the anode process led to the changes of the mode of the spark discharge during the pulsed single-polar MPO process, which further influenced the structure and the morphology of the ceramic coatings. The coatings prepared at D = 10% were composed of a large amount of Al₂TiO₅ and a little γ-Al₂O₃ while the coatings prepared at D = 45% were mainly composed of α-Al₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃. The coating thickness and the roughness were both increased with the increasing D due to the formation of Al₂O₃. The formation of Al₂TiO₅ resulted from the spark discharge due to the breakdown of the oxide film, while the formation of Al₂O₃ resulted from the spark discharge due to the breakdown of the vapor envelope. The ceramic coatings improved the corrosion resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. And the surface morphology and the coating thickness determined the corrosion resistance of the coated samples prepared at D = 45% was better than that of the coated samples prepared at D = 10%.
