Contactless Microwave Detection of Shubnikov–De Haas Oscillations in Three-Dimensional Dirac Semimetal ZrTe_5

We report Shubnikov–de Haas(SdH)oscillations of a three-dimensional(3D) Dirac semimetal candidate of layered material ZrTe_5 single crystals through contactless electron spin resonance(ESR)measurements with the magnetic field up to 1.4 T.The ESR signals manifest remarkably anisotropic characteristics with respect to the direction of the magnetic field,indicating an anisotropic Fermi surface in ZrTe_5.Further experiments demonstrate that the ZrTe_5 single crystals have the signature of massless Dirac fermions with nontrivialBerry phase,key evidence for 3D Dirac/Weyl fermions.Moreover,the onset of quantum oscillation of our ZrTe_5 crystals revealed by the ESR can be derived down to 0.2 T,much smaller than the onset of SdH oscillation determined by conventional magnetoresistance measurements.Therefore,ESR measurement is a powerful tool to study the topologically nontrivial electronic structure in Dirac/Weyl semimetals and other topological materials with low bulk carrier density.     

采用N2-RF等离子体氮化GaAs(001)

研究了在MBE系统中,GaAs(001)表面的氮化过程。GaAs(001)表面直接和间接地暴露在等离子体激发的N₂气流下。两种氮化过程显示了完全不同的表面氮化结果。在打开N₂发生器挡板的情况下,氮化导致GaAs(001)表面损伤,并且形成多晶结构。当增加N₂气压时,损伤变得更严重。但是,在关闭N₂发生器挡板的情况下,在500℃下,经过氮化将观察到(3×3)再构的RHEED花样,表面仍保持原子级的平整度。上述结果表明,不开N₂发生器挡板,低温(500℃下)氮化将在GaN外延生长之前形成平整的薄层c-GaN。     

Weak localization in disordered spin-1 chiral fermions

We theoretically investigate the quantum interference theory of magnetotransport of the three-component or spin-1 chiral fermions, which possess two linear Dirac bands and a flat band. For isotropic scalar impurities, the correction of conductivity from the coherent backscatter and non-coherent backscatter contributions cancel out in the intravalley scattering, leading to a weak localization correction to the Drude conductivity from the intervalley scattering. For the anisotropic impurities, the above cancelation is removed, we find the approximative quantum interference conductivity in the weak anisotropy case. The contributions from the chiral anomaly and classical Lorentz force are also discussed. Our work reveals some intriguing and detectable transport signatures of the novel spin-1 chiral fermions.     

高空电磁脉冲作用下电力系统主要效应模式分析

随着电网智能化和整体规模的提高,现代电力系统越来越容易受到高空电磁脉冲的威胁,一旦关键环节故障将有可能导致连锁反应,造成大面积停电。而针对不同的电力设备,其效应模式和威胁等级也有所不同,需要进行分类和分级研究。根据电力设备在电磁脉冲作用下的不同效应模式,将其分为SCADA系统与继电保护设备,变压器、互感器等线圈类设备,线路与设备避雷器与其他设备,并分析了其效应机理。然后考虑高空电磁脉冲威胁下电力设备存在多种效应等级,介绍了不同效应分类方法以及多等级效应评估模型。最后综合考虑易损性和重要性以及系统间的级联影响,分别梳理总结了在E1和E3作用下电力系统的故障链模式。     

随机风场下高层结构振动隔震与TMD混合控制研究

针对风荷载作用下高层建筑结构振动控制问题,基于建筑隔震和调谐质量阻尼器振动控制原理,利用ANSYS软件分别建立高层结构带隔震层和带调谐质量阻尼器(TMD)的单一控制策略以及两者相结合的混合振动控制策略。根据Davenport脉动风速谱,采用自回归模型(AutoRegressive,AR)法,考虑竖向相关性、平稳的多变量随机过程以及它的互谱密度矩阵模拟生成具有随机性的脉动风速时程曲线和风速谱的功率谱密度,并用于20层钢结构Benchmark结构模型。系统比较三种振动控制策略在顺风向脉动风载作用下的控制效果,结果表明隔震与TMD混合振动控制方法可以有效地抑制结构风振响应,控制效果很好地弥补了单一振动控制的缺陷。本文方法可应用于大尺度高层结构振动控制中,实现高层建筑结构风振响应的可靠控制。
