Synthesis and photonic band gap characterization of high quality photonic crystal heterostructures

High quality photonic crystal heterostructures with a thin titania planar defect layer between its two constitutional photonic crystals were fabricated and their structural and optical properties were analyzed. The results suggest that the thin planar defect layer is beneficial to separate the two constitutional photonic crystals from each other and to reduce the roughness of the interface. The quality of the resulting photonic crystal heterostructures is improved largely and the main features of the photonic band gaps of the two constitutional photonic crystals are inherited. The predominant optical quality of these heterostructures (e.g. deep double photonic band gaps and steep photonic band edges) may afford new flexibility and functionality for engineered photonic behavior in practical devices such as late-model light-operated switches.     

Effect of the laser fluence on the surface characterization of β-FeSi2 films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

Single-phase β-FeSi₂ films on silicon (1 0 0) were fabricated by pulse laser deposition. The structure and crystal quality of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The field scanning electron microscopy showed that the film thickness increases with the increasing of the laser fluence. Moreover, atomic force microscopy observations revealed the changes of surface properties with different laser fluence. Based upon all experimental results, it is found that 7 J/cm² is the most favorable for the formation of β-FeSi₂ thin films.     

Bioactive calcium phosphate coating formed on micro-arc oxidized magnesium by chemical deposition

In order to improve the bioactivity of the micro-arc oxidized magnesium, a calcium phosphate coating was formed on the surface of micro-arc oxidized magnesium using a chemical method. The microstructures of the substrate and the calcium phosphate coating before and after the simulated body fluids (SBF) incubation were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the calcified coating was composed of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (HA) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD). After SBF incubation, some new apatite formation on the calcified coating surface from SBF could be found. The corrosion behaviours of the samples in SBF were also investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves and immersion tests. The results showed that calcium phosphate coating increased the corrosion potential, and decreased the hydrogen gas release.     

Adsorption of CO, NH3 and O2 on Fe site of La0.875Sr0.125FeO3 (0 1 0) surface by density function theory calculation

The adsorption of CO, NH₃ and O₂ gas molecules on Fe site of La_0.875Sr_0.125FeO₃ (0 1 0) surface has been investigated based on the density functional theory (DFT) with the spin polarized generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The optimal adsorption orientations as well as the adsorption energies for these molecules adsorption on Fe site of La_0.875Sr_0.125FeO₃ (0 1 0) surface are derived. Results show that adsorption configurations with C-down for CO, N-down for NH₃ are stable. For the O₂ molecule adsorption, the mode with an angle about 120° between the oxygen molecule and La_0.875Sr_0.125FeO₃ (0 1 0) surface is stable.     

Effect of stearic acid, zinc stearate coating on the properties of synthetic hydromagnesite

Synthetic hydromagnesite (SHM), used as flame retardant for polymers, may have similar or better flame retardancy effectiveness than aluminum tri-hydroxide (ATH) and magnesium di-hydroxide (MDH). Suitable surface modifiers are often employed to improve its dispersion and compatibility with polymer matrix. In this study, we chose stearic acid (SA) and zinc stearate (ZS) as the surface modifier, and investigated the properties of SHM modified with various surface modifier content using dry blending coating process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TG), particle size distribution, contact angle, oil absorption, bulk density, tapped density and Carr's index were employed to characterize the effect of surface modification. The results showed that the surface of SHM powders was changed from hydrophilic to lipophilic. The flowability of the surface modified powder was also improved. TG graphs showed that the surface modifier had no obvious influence on the degradation pathway of the SHM.     

Ferromagnetism induced by intrinsic defects and nitrogen substitution in SnO2 nanotube

The possibilities of magnetism induced by intrinsic defects and nitrogen substitution in (5,5) single-wall SnO₂ nanotube are investigated by ab initio calculations. The calculated results indicate that a stoichiometric SnO₂ nanotube is nonmagnetic. The tin (Sn) vacancy can induce the magnetic moments rather than oxygen vacancy, which is originated from the polarization of O 2p electrons. A couple of tin vacancies can lead to the ferromagnetic coupling. A nitrogen substitution for oxygen also produces magnetic moments. When substituting two nitrogen atoms, the characteristics of exchange coupling depend upon the distance of two nitrogen atoms. The longer distance of two nitrogen atoms prefers the ferromagnetic coupling, whereas the short distance leads to the antiferromagnetic coupling.

Dissipation of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state in the single-mode amplitude damping channel

We explore how a two-mode squeezed vacuum state sechθ e^{a+b+ tanh θ} |00> evolves when it undergoes a singlemode amplitude dissipative channel with rate of decay κ. We find that in this process not only the squeezing parameter decreases, tanh θ → e^-κt tanh θ, but also the second-mode vacuum state evolves into a chaotic state exp{b⁺bln[1 - e^-2κt tanh² θ]}. The outcome state is no more a pure state, but an entangled mixed state.
