Spin-filtering junctions with double ferroelectric barriers

An FS/FE/NS/FE/FS double tunnel junction is suggested to have the ability to inject, modulate and detect the spin-polarized current electrically in a single device, where FS is the ferromagnetic semiconductor electrode, NS is the nonmagnetic semiconductor, and FE the ferroelectric barrier. The spin polarization of the current injected into the NS region can be switched between a highly spin-polarized state and a spin unpolarized state. The high spin polarization may be detected by measuring the tunneling magnetoresistance ratio of the double tunnel junction.     

Coupling-matrix approach to the Chern number calculation in disordered systems

The Chern number is often used to distinguish different topological phases of matter in two-dimensional electron systems. A fast and efficient coupling-matrix method is designed to calculate the Chern number in finite crystalline and disordered systems. To show its effectiveness, we apply the approach to the Haldane model and the lattice Hofstadter model, and obtain the correct quantized Chern numbers. The disorder-induced topological phase transition is well reproduced, when the disorder strength is increased beyond the critical value. We expect the method to be widely applicable to the study of topological quantum numbers.

水色要素垂直分布对其遥感反演算法精度的影响

基于辐射传输模型模拟得到叶绿素和悬浮颗粒物在不同垂直分布条件下的遥感反射率数据集,利用该数据集对现有叶绿素、悬浮颗粒物浓度和固有光学量模型进行检验,研究了垂直分布对遥感反演算法反演精度的影响。结果表明：在悬浮颗粒物垂直分布、叶绿素及其垂直分布的影响下,悬浮颗粒物波段比值模型高估的悬浮颗粒物浓度要大于单波段模型;叶绿素波段比值模型和三波段模型能够较好地降低由叶绿素垂直分布、悬浮颗粒物及其垂直分布引起的叶绿素浓度高估的程度。悬浮颗粒物和叶绿素及其垂直分布对固有光学量反演具有双重效应,悬浮颗粒物垂直分布将使得吸收系数和后向散射系数被高估,而叶绿素垂直分布将使得吸收系数和后向散射系数被低估。在悬浮颗粒物和叶绿素共同作用下,固有光学反演结果具有较大的不确定性。
