An easy way to controllably synthesize one-dimensional Sm B_6 topological insulator nanostructures and exploration of their field emission applications

A convenient fabrication technique for samarium hexaboride(SmB_6) nanostructures(nanowires and nanopencils) is developed, combining magnetron-sputtering and chemical vapor deposition. Both nanostructures are proven to be single crystals with cubic structure, and they both grow along the [001] direction. Formation of both nanostructures is attributed to the vapor-liquid-solid(VLS) mechanism, and the content of boron vapor is proposed to be the reason for their different morphologies at various evaporation distances. Field emission(FE) measurements show that the maximum current density of both the as-grown nanowires and nanopencils can be several hundred μA/cm~2, and their FN plots deviate only slightly from a straight line. Moreover, we prefer the generalized Schottky-Nordheim(SN) model to comprehend the difference in FE properties between the nanowires and nanopencils. The results reveal that the nonlinearity of FN plots is attributable to the effect of image potential on the FE process, which is almost independent of the morphology of the nanostructures.All the research results suggest that the SmB_6 nanostructures would have a more promising future in the FE area if their surface oxide layer was eliminated in advance.

报道了基于Nd∶YAG透明陶瓷4F3/2-4I15/2跃迁实现1.83 m激光输出的研究。采用简单紧凑的平凹腔结构,结合对腔镜镀膜参数的设计,控制其他能级跃迁谱线对应波长激光的透射损耗来抑制较强能级跃迁对应的激光振荡。在入射抽运功率14.6 W的808 nm波长半导体激光端面抽运Nd∶YAG透明陶瓷,获得了0.65 W的1.83 m激光输出,斜率效率5.8%。可见Nd∶YAG透明陶瓷可望成为获得1.8 m波段激光直接输出的激光介质。
