磁耦合效应对半无限超晶格中表面电子态的影响

在有效质量近似理论下，采用有效垒高方法，研究了在沿超晶格生长方向加一有限磁场时磁耦合效应对半无限半导体超晶格中表面电子态的影响.当考虑超晶格中阱层和垒层之间电子有效质量的差别时，沿超晶格生长方向的磁场将导致磁耦合效应的出现.研究结果表明，磁耦合效应不仅引起表面电子能级的量子化，而且表面电子能级的大小及其在表面附近的局域程度也依赖于磁场的大小和朗道指数.此外，研究表明布洛赫波数的虚部可以作为一个衡量表面电子态局域程度的物理量. 关键词： 超晶格中的电子态 表面态 磁场     

磁场下含结构缺陷多组分超晶格中的局域电子态和电子输运

在有效质量近似理论下，利用转移矩阵和有效垒高方法研究了有限磁场下含结构缺陷的多组分超晶格中局域电子态的性质.在考虑各组分层有效质量的失配时，外加磁场会导致磁耦合效应的出现.磁耦合效应不仅引起局域电子能级的量子化，并且随着朗道指数或磁场强弱的变化，局域能级及其局域程度都会发生显著移动，特别是对高能区域的局域电子态影响更大.此外，还计算了电子输运系数，讨论了含结构缺陷的三组分超晶格中局域电子能级与输运谱透射禁区中的共振透射峰的关系，发现两者之间有着很好的对应关系，为相应的实验研究提供了依据. 关键词： 超晶格 局域电子态 磁场     

High-order plasmon resonances in an Ag/Al2O3 core/shell nanorice

Using numerical simulation, we investigate the high-order plasmon resonances in individual nanostructures of an Ag nanorice core surrounded by an Al2O3 shell. The peak positions of localized surface plasmon resonances （LSPRs） are red-shifted exponentially with the increase of the dielectric shell thickness. This is due to the exponential decay of electromagnetic field intensity in the direction perpendicular to the interface. This exponential red-shift depends on the wavelength of the resonance peak instead of the resonance order. In addition, we find that the LSPRs in an Ag nanorice of 60-nm width can be perfectly described by a single linear function. These features make nanorice an ideal platform for sensing applications.     

Nanoscale thermal transport: Theoretical method and application

With the size reduction of nanoscale electronic devices, the heat generated by the unit area in integrated circuits will be increasing exponentially, and consequently the thermal management in these devices is a very important issue. In addition, the heat generated by the electronic devices mostly diffuses to the air in the form of waste heat, which makes the thermoelectric energy conversion also an important issue for nowadays. In recent years, the thermal transport properties in nanoscale systems have attracted increasing attention in both experiments and theoretical calculations. In this review, we will discuss various theoretical simulation methods for investigating thermal transport properties and take a glance at several interesting thermal transport phenomena in nanoscale systems. Our emphasizes will lie on the advantage and limitation of calculational method, and the application of nanoscale thermal transport and thermoelectric property.

在宏观介电连续近似下，采用转移距阵方法，研究了三元合金缺陷层对有限超晶格中局域界面光学声子模的影响.在这种有限超晶格结构中，可以清楚地看到所有界面模的演化轨迹.结果表明：存在两类局域模，它们的宏观静电势波函数分别局域在缺陷层和表面层附近，且这些模随着超晶格组分层和缺陷层的相对厚度和介电常数的改变，其局域位置和特性发生显著变化.此外，发现虽然能隙中局域模的数目不守恒，但所有界面模的总数守恒.
