Quantitative studies of long-term stable, top-down fabricated silicon nanowire pH sensors

We report a simple and effective method to develop long-term stable, top-down fabricated silicon nanowire (SiNW) pH sensors along with systematic studies on the performance of the sensors. In this work, we fabricated the SiNW pH sensors based on top-down fabrication processes. In order to improve the stability of the sensor performance, the sensors were coated with a passivation layer (PECVD-based silicon nitride) for effective electrical insulation and ion-blocking. The stability, pH sensitivity, and repeatability of the sensor response are critically analyzed with regard to the physics of sensing interface between sample liquid and the sensor surface. Also, trade-off between the stability and pH sensitivity of the sensor response is discussed.     

Tunable acoustic metamaterial with negative modulus

A tunable negative modulus metamaterial is presented, and it is achieved by adjusting the medium density and an effective volume of a split hollow sphere (SHS). This work comprises experimental and numerical studies. The effects of water/air component and the steel ball on the transmission properties were investigated in the impedance tube system. The experimental results show that the transmission dip has a significant blue-shift with increasing water content, whereas the steel ball has a relatively small influence on the resonant frequency. The simulated results by the finite-element method (FEM) are in agreement with the experimental results. Based on medium parameters among the SHS, acoustic metamaterial (AM) with negative modulus can easily be designed in the expected frequency domain, and it provides a convenient route to tune AMs.     

First-principles study on the electronic structure and magnetism of layered oxyselenide La2Mn2Se2O3

The electronic structure and magnetism of layered oxyselenide La(2)Mn(2)Se(2)O(3) have been studied by using first-principles calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA + U methods. The G-type antiferromagnetic (AF) state is calculated to be the most stable phase among the various magnetic configurations of interest, irrespective of the choice of the functional used, which is in good agreement with the experiments. In contrast to La(2)Fe(2)Se(2)O(3) and La(2)Co(2)Se(2)O(3), in which the AF states show metallic behavior under the GGA method, we predict the ground state of La(2)Mn(2)Se(2)O(3) is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of ～0.52 eV via the GGA calculations. This is closely related to a closed shell configuration and large exchange splitting (～3.5 eV) in the Mn 3d states. Moreover, the magnetic properties are also discussed in terms of the calculated Heisenberg spin exchange constants, suggesting that La(2)Mn(2)Se(2)O(3) is a strong two-dimensional magnetically frustrated system.

具有不规则自由表面的粘弹性介质中声波模拟的有限差分算法

声波在具有不规则自由表面的粘弹性介质传播的数值模拟工作在地震勘探,地震预测中非常重要,特别是当模型有起伏的自由界面和较强的衰减特性时更是如此。基于镜像方法和直接方法,本文发展了一种二维有限差分算法,可以模拟不规则自由表面引起的声波散射问题。该方法将自由表面条件与速度应力方程结合求解粘弹性波动方程,在垂直和水平自由段及拐点处设置相应的边界条件。该方法假设自由表面穿过剪切应力和相应参数的网格点。为了提高计算精度,分别计算了水平和垂直方向上应力镜像值,而对质点速度,采用先水平方向后垂直方向分析进行镜像计算和更新。将粘弹性水平自由表面镜像方法和不同倾斜度平滑自由表面的改进方法的数值结果进行对比,并验证了算法的精度。
