Quantum spin Hall insulators in chemically functionalized As(110) and Sb(110) films

We propose a new type of quantum spin Hall(QSH) insulator in chemically functionalized As(110) and Sb(110) film.According to first-principles calculations, we find that metallic As(110) and Sb(110) films become QSH insulators after being chemically functionalized by hydrogen(H) or halogen(Cl and Br) atoms. The energy gaps of the functionalized films range from 0.121 eV to 0.304 eV, which are sufficiently large for practical applications at room temperature. The energy gaps originate from the spin–orbit coupling(SOC). The energy gap increases linearly with the increase of the SOC strength λ/λ_0. The Z_2 invariant and the penetration depth of the edge states are also calculated and studied for the functionalized films.     

Determination of the surface states from the ultrafast electronic states in a thermoelectric material

We reveal the electronic structure in Yb Cd₂Sb₂,a thermoelectric material,by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)and time-resolved ARPES(tr ARPES).Specifically,three bulk bands at the vicinity of the Fermi level are evidenced near the Brillouin zone center,consistent with the density functional theory(DFT)calculation.It is interesting that the spin-unpolarized bulk bands respond unexpectedly to right-and left-handed circularly polarized probe.In addition,a hole band of surface states,which is not sensitive to the polarization of the probe beam and is not expected from the DFT calculation,is identified.We find that the non-equilibrium quasiparticle recovery rate is much smaller in the surface states than that of the bulk states.Our results demonstrate that the surface states can be distinguished from the bulk ones from a view of time scale in the nonequilibrium physics.     

基于CAN总线的抬头显示系统研究

车载抬头显示系统是使驾驶员在不移动驾驶视线的情况下就能读取车辆重要信息的装置,它有助于提高驾驶员对信息的读取速度、降低驾驶疲劳、提高驾驶安全性。本文结合国内外学者的研究,针对已上市HUD显示内容格式、布置方式、辨识度、实时性等方面的问题,提出了用彩色符号、分区域、亮度可调、人机交互的显示设计原则。以问卷调查分析结果和信息的重要程度为依据,以CAN总线技术、微处理器控制技术为基础,设计了一套HUD显示系统。结果表明采用分区显示的方法辨识度高、对驾驶员视线影响较小,有助于提高信息的易读性;对显示实时性进行测试表明该装置实时性强,有效提高了驾驶安全性。
