一维瞬态辐射传输的有限元法模拟

随着超短脉冲激光的快速发展,吸收散射性介质内的瞬态辐射传输引起了人们的广泛关注.本文基于离散坐标法和最小二乘有限元法(LSFEM),提出了模拟多维吸收散射性介质内瞬态辐射传输的数值模型.该模型有效地克服了在标准Galerkin有限元法(GFEM)中发生的伪振荡现象,在时间步长较大的情况下仍然可以得到光滑无振荡的解.而且,最小二乘法产生的求解系数矩阵是对称正定的,与GFEM中的系数矩阵相比,仅需要存储一半的非零系数,可以应用许多高效的迭代求解方法进行求解.为了检验模型,本文研究了一维吸收散射性介质内瞬态辐射传输问题,其结果与蒙特卡洛法(MCM)和积分模型法(IE)的结果进行了比较,结果证实:本文的方法可以精确、高效地模拟参与性介质内的瞬态辐射传输.

Surface antiferromagnetic domain structures of NiO (0 0 1) studied using UV photoemission electron microscope

Direct observation of the antiferro (AF) magnetic domain structures of a NiO (0 0 1) surface is found to be possible using a spectroscopy photoelectron low-energy electron microscope (SPELEEM) and a commercial UV Hg excitation light source without using any polarizers. The principle is based on the magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) effect, where different domain contrasts are produced according to the relative angle between the antiferromagnetic axis and the linearly polarized light. The observed AF magnetic domain structures are strongly affected by both bulk AF magnetic domain structures and the stresses induced during the sample cleaving process. Moreover, the AF magnetic domain structures are found to be irreversible when the sample is heated to over its Néel temperature and then cooled. The possibility of imaging AF magnetic domain structures without using synchrotron radiation or a polarizer is attractive.     

Surface layer self diffusion in icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystals

The self diffusion of Mn and Pd in a single grain icosahedral Al_69.9Pd_20.5Mn_9.6 quasicrystal has been determined by low energy ion scattering (LEIS). The diffusion was determined by depositing different elements (Pd, Mn) on the surface and measuring the rate of change in surface composition as a function of temperature by LEIS. The surface composition was monitored over the temperature range of 355-575 K for Mn and 440-745 K for Pd and compared to model calculations to allow the activation energy for diffusion to be determined. Activation energies of 0.20 ± 0.01 eV for Mn and 0.64 ± 0.03 eV for Pd have then been measured for self diffusion in i-Al-Pd-Mn, respectively. No deviation from Arrhenius behavior was detected in the temperature range covered by the present experiments. From the low values of activation energy we propose that this range of diffusion is phason related, reflecting the specific nature of the icosahedral structure.     

Metal interface formation studied by high-energy reflection energy loss spectroscopy and electron Rutherford backscattering

We demonstrate that high-energy, high-resolution reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy can provide unique insights into interface formation, especially for the case where an extended interface is formed. By changing the geometry and/or electron energy the electronic structure can be probed over a range of thicknesses (from 10s of Å to more than 1000 Å). At the same time one resolves the elastically scattered electrons into different components, corresponding to scattering of atoms with different mass (so-called ‘electron Rutherford backscattering’). Thus these high-energy REELS/elastic scattering experiments obtain information on both the electronic structure and the atomic composition of the overlayer formed.     

The effect of Pt on Ni3Al surface oxidation at low-pressures

The fully-oxidized surface that forms on (1 1 1) oriented Ni₃Al single crystals, with and without Pt addition, at 300-900 K under oxygen pressures of ca. 10⁻⁷ Torr was studied using XPS, AES, and LEIS. Two main types of surfaces form, depending upon oxidation temperature. At low-temperature, the predominant oxide is NiO, capped by a thin layer of aluminum oxide, which we refer to generically as Al_xO_y. At high-temperature (i.e., 700-800 K), NiO is replaced by a thick layer of Al_xO_y. By comparing samples that contain 0, 10 and 20 at.% Pt in the bulk, we find that the effect of Pt is to: (1) reduce the maximum amount of both NiO and Al_xO_y; and (2) shift the establishment of the thick Al_xO_y layer to lower temperatures. Platinum also decreases the adsorption probability of oxygen on the clean surface.     

Segregation of Pt at clean surfaces of (Pt, Ni)3Al

Experimental evidence for surface segregation of Pt at (1 1 1) surfaces of ternary (Pt, Ni)₃Al alloys is presented, based upon Auger electron spectroscopy, low energy ion scattering, and angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Density functional calculations in the dilute limit confirm that Pt segregation is energetically favored.     

Prediction of structure-dependent charge transfer rates for a Li atom outside a Si(0 0 1) surface

We investigate the broadening of the 2s energy level of a Li atom outside a Si(0 0 1) surface using a first principles approach. The covalent nature of the Si surface produces large variations in Li energy level widths as a function of lateral position across the surface. The widths above symmetric Si dimers are predicted to be much larger than above buckled Si dimers, suggesting that charge transfer will occur primarily above symmetric dimers. We discuss the ramifications of our results on the controversy surrounding the relative abundance of the buckled vs. symmetric dimers on the Si surface.
