探索基于人工超晶格LaFeO3-YMnO3和自然超晶格n-LaFeO3-Bi4Ti3O12薄膜多铁性

基于纳米尺寸下复合铁电材料和反铁磁性材料是一个探索多铁性材料有效的方法. 利用激光脉冲沉积制备出LaFeO₃-YMnO₃人工超晶格和掺入不同层LaFeO₃, BiFeO₃的Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂的外延薄膜. 通过系统的X射线衍射、透射电子显微术、扫描透射电子显微术下的能量损失谱表征证明这些样品具有原子尺寸上清晰的界面和完整的层状结构. 磁性测试证明这些材料具有亚铁磁性. 特别是在0.5和1.5LaFeO₃-Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂中的亚铁磁性甚至能保持到室温. 就铁电性而言, 铁电性测试显示出LaFeO₃-YMnO₃和插入BiFeO₃的Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂样品中存在较大的漏电流, 而在0.5LaFeO₃-Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂样品中存在铁电性. 因此在0.5LaFeO₃-Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂中能够实现亚铁磁和铁电共存. 其次发现当掺入多层的钙钛矿(3层SrTiO₃或2.5层LaFeO₃)后, Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ 的层状结构将出现结构失稳现象. 这些工作对于利用纳米复合开发新颖多铁性提供一些实例.

Surface electron doping induced double gap opening in Td-WTe2

By using scanning tunneling microscopy, we investigated the electronic evolution of T_d-WTe₂ via in-situ surface alkali K atoms deposition. The T_d-WTe₂ surface is electron doped upon K deposition, and as the K coverage increases, two gaps are sequentially opened near Fermi energy, which probably indicates that two phase transitions concomitantly occur during electron doping. The two gaps both show a dome-like dependence on the K coverage. While the bigger gap shows no prominent dependence on the magnetic field, the smaller one can be well suppressed and thus possibly corresponds to the superconducting transition. This work indicates that T_d-WTe₂ exhibits rich quantum states closely related to the carrier concentration.     

Surface Structure and Reconstructions of HgTe(111) Surfaces

Hg Te(111) surface is comprehensively studied by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy(STS).In addition to th√e prim√itive(1 × 1)√ hexagonal lattice,six reconstructed surface structures are observed:(2 × 2),2 × 1,4 × 1,3 ×(1/2)3,2(1/2)2 × 2 and (1/2)11 × 2.The(2 × 2) reconstructed lattice maintains the primitive hexagonal symmetry,whi√le the lattices of the other five reconstructions are rectangular.Moreover,the topographic features of the3 ×(1/2)3 reconstruction are bias dependent,indicating that they have both topographic and electronic origins.The STSs obtained at different reconstructed surfaces show a universal dip feature with size ～100 mV,which may be attributed to the surface distortion.Our results reveal the atomic structure and complex reconstructions of the cleaved Hg Te(111) surfaces,which paves the way to understand the rich properties of Hg Te crystal.     

声子晶体中第二能带的回波负折射

文章从理论和实验上研究了二维三角晶格声子晶体第二能带具有回波（backward-wave）效应的负折射现象。Bragg散射将第二能带等频线（equifrequency surface）分成两类，它们分别凹向简约布里渊区（BZ）的K点和Г点，并由此导致了两种不同的回波负折射现象。理论和实验证明，这两类负折射的角度与声波的频率以及入射角的变化关系截然不同，同时在第二能带中，不仅存在回波负折射，还存在回波正折射，这两种折射所具有的回波效应都可以用于通过位相补偿效应来突破衍射极限。上述现象和左手材料中以及声子晶体第一能带中的折射现象是不相同的，揭示了声子晶体，第二能带具有更丰富的物理现象．

Measurement of the bulk and surface bands in Dirac line-node semimetal ZrSiS

Dirac semimetals are materials in which the conduction and the valence bands have robust crossing points protected by topology or symmetry. Recently, a new type of Dirac semimetals, so called the Dirac line-node semimetals(DLNSs), have attracted a lot of attention, as they host robust Dirac points along the one-dimensional(1D) lines in the Brillouin zone(BZ).In this work, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES) and first-principles calculations, we systematically investigated the electronic structures of non-symmorphic ZrSiS crystal where we clearly distinguished the surface states from the bulk states. The photon-energy-dependent measurements further prove the existence of Dirac line node along the X-R direction. Remarkably, by in situ surface potassium doping, we clearly observed the different evolutions of the bulk and surface electronic states while proving the robustness of the Dirac line node. Our studies not only reveal the complete electronic structures of ZrSiS, but also demonstrate the method manipulating the electronic structure of the compound.
