Effects of Magnetic Field on the Valence Bond Property of the Double—Quantum—Dot Molecule

The effects of the magnetic field on the valence bond property of the double-quantum-dot molecule are numerically studied by the finite element method and perturbation approach because of the absence of cylindrical symmetry in the horizontally coupled dots.The calculation results show that the energy value of the ground state changes differently from that of the first excited state with increasing magnetic field strength,and they cross under a certain magnetic field.The increasing magnetic field makes the covalent bond state change into an ionic bond state,which agrees qualitatively with experimental results and and makes ionic bond states remain.The oscillator strength of transition between covalent bond states decreases distinctly with the increasing magnetic field strength,when the molecule is irradiated by polarized light.Such a phenomenon is possibly useful for actual applications.     

Effect of Electric Field on Conductivity and Vickers Hardness of an Al－Li Alloy

Static electric fields were applied on an aluminium-lithium alloy during solution treatment. The conductivity and Vickers hardness of the quenched A1-Li alloy is changed with the effect of electric field. The Vickers hardness increases with the applied electric field for a certain solutionizing time but decreases with the time under an electric field. In the absence of the electric field, the Vickers hardness and the conductivity increase synchronously, while reversed after electric field treatment. Positive and negative electric fields had the similar effect. The change of the local electron density in alloy caused by electric field is presented to explain the effect.     

Influence of Thickness of Field Emission Characteristics of Nanometre Boron Nitride Thin Films

Nanometre boron nitride (BN) thin films with various thickness (54-135nm) were prepared on Si(100) by rf magnetic sputtering physical vapour deposition. The field emission characteristics of the BN thin films were measured in an ultrahigh vacuum system. A threshold electric field of 11V/μm and the highest emission current density of 240μA/cm^2 at an electric field of 23V/μm were obtained for the about 54-nm-thick BN film. The threshold electric field increases with increasing the thickness in the nanometre range. The Fowler-Nordheim plots show that electrons were emitted from BN to vacuum by tunnelling through the potential barrier at the surface of BN thin films.     

The effect of degenerate atomic levels on the field state dissipation in two—photon Jaynes—Cummings model

The dissipation of the field in the two-photonJaynes-Cummings model (JCM) with degenerate atomic levels was studied.The initial degenerate atomic state affects the field coherence loss,when the degenerate atom is initially in an equal probability superposition state,the field coherence loss is smallest,It is found that the degeneracy of the atomic level increases the period of entanglement between the atom and the field.When the degeneracy was considered,the coherence properties of the field could be affected by the reservoir qualitatively,if a nonlinear two-photon process is involved.This is different from the dissipation of one-photon JCM with degenerate atomic levels.     

Properties of a Si2N molecule under an external electric field

In the present work,we adopt the ccsd/6-31g（d） method to optimize the ground state structure and calculate the vibrational frequency of the Si2N molecule.The calculated frequencies accord satisfactorily with the experimental values,which helps confirm the ground state structure of the molecule.In order to find how the external electric field affects the Si2N molecule,we use the density functional method B3P86/6-31g（d） to optimize the ground state structure and the time-dependent density functional theory TDDFT/6-31g（d） to study the absorption spectra,the excitation energies,the oscillator strengths,and the dipole moments of the Si2N molecule under different external electric fields.It is found that the absorption spectra,the excitation energies,the oscillator strengths,and the dipole moments of the Si2N molecule are affected by the external electric field.One of the valuable results is that the absorption spectra of the yellow and the blue-violet light of the Si2N molecule each have a red shift under the electric field.The luminescence mechanism in the visible light region of the Si2N molecule is also investigated and compared with the experimental data.

Visualized measurement of the electric field in large aperture LiNbO3 crystal by digital holographic interferometry

The electric field distribution in Li Nb O3 crystal under different electrode shape is presented by using the digital holographic interferometry. Three configurations of phase modulator including the rectangular electrode type,single-triangle electrode type, and dual-triangle electrode type are performed in this experiment. The nonuniform electric field distribution in these phase modulators are observed and the electric field increases with voltage increasing. The digital holographic interferometry with high electro-optic effect improves the measurement precision. The digital holographic interferometry provides an effective way for studying the electric field distribution. Such in situ quantitative analysis of electric field distribution is a key to optimizing electrode shape.     

Mechanism of Carbon Nanotubes Aligning along Applied Electric Field

The mechanism of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWCNTs） aligning in the direction of external electric field is studied by quantum mechanics calculations. The rotational torque on the carbon nanotubes is proportional to the difference between the longitudinal and transverse polarizabilities and varies with the angle of SWCNTs to the external electric field. The longitudinal polarizability increases with second power of length, while the transverse polarizability increases linearly with length. A zigzag SWCNT has larger longitudinal and transverse polarizabilities than an armchair SWCNT with the same diameter and the discrepancy becomes larger for longer tubes.     

Singlet-Triplet Transition in Quantum Dots Confined by Triangular and Bowl-Like Potentials： the Effect of Electric Fields

We theoretically investigate the energy spectra of two-electron two-dimensional （2e 2D） quantum dots （QDs） confined by triangular potentials and bowl-like potentials in a magnetic field by exact diagonalization in the framework of effective mass theory. An in-plane electric field is found to contribute to the singlet-triplet transition of the ground state of the 2e 2D QDs confined by triangular or bowl-like potentials in a perpendicular magnetic field. The stronger the in-plane electric field, the smaller the magnetic field for the total spin of the ground states in the dot systems to change from S = 0 to S = 1. However, the influence of an in-plane electric field on the singlettriplet transition of the ground state of two electrons in a triangular QD modulated by a perpendicular magnetic field is quite small because the triangular potential just deviates from the harmonic potential well slightly. We find that the strength of the perpendicular magnetic field needed for the spin singlet-triplet transition of the ground state of the QD confined by a bowl-like potential is reduced drastically by applying an in-plane electric field.     

Conductance switching mechanism of Rose Bengal organic thin films in ambient conditions

The molecular thin films of Rose Bengal (RB) embedded in polymethyl methacrylate matrix are fabricated by using the spin-coating technique. The macroscopic current--voltage (I--V) characterization of the film shows that the RB molecule has two conductance switching states with a high ON/OFF ratio in ambient conditions. The infrared spectra indicate that intermolecular hydrogen bonds can form in the RB thin films after their hydrolysis in air. With the first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the hydrogen bonds will be destroyed in concomitance with the conformational change when the RB molecule switches to its high-conductance state after applying a voltage.     

Built-in electric field effect on cyclotron mass of magnetopolarons in a wurtzite In_xGa_（1-x）N/GaN quantum well

The cyclotron mass of magnetopolarons in wurtzite In x Ga 1 x N/GaN quantum well is studied in the presence of an external magnetic field by using the Larsen perturbation method.The effects of the built-in electric field and different phonon modes including interface,confined and half-space phonon modes are considered in our calculation.The results for a zinc-blende quantum well are also given for comparison.It is found that the main contribution to the transition energy comes from half-space and interface phonon modes when the well width is very small while the confined modes play a more important role in a wider well due to the location of the electron wave function.As the well width increases,the cyclotron mass of magnetopolarons first increases to a maximum and then decreases either with or without the built-in electric field in the wurtzite structure and the built-in electric field slightly reduces the cyclotron mass.The variation of cyclotron mass in a zinc-blende structure is similar to that in a wurtzite structure.With the increase of external magnetic field,the cyclotron mass of polarons almost linearly increases.The cyclotron frequency of magnetopolarons is also discussed.     

Analysis of X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Polymethyl Methacrylate Etched by a KrF Excimer Laser

The C ls and 0 ls electrons in polymethyl methacrylate etched by different incident laser intensities are analysed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that when the incident laser fluence increases gradually,the percentage of carbon atoms in C-C bonds decreases while the one in carbonyl group (C=O) and alkoxy group (C-O) increases, and the percentage of oxygen atoms in C=O bonds increases while the one in C-O bonds decreases. Based on the analysis of the chemical structure, the energy level transition, energy diversion, and dissociation of bonds are theoretically examined, which is consistent with the experimental results.     

Intraband Dynamics and Terahertz Emission in Biased GaAs/In0.53Ga0.47As Semiconductor Superlattices

Using an excitonic basis, we investigate the intraband polarization, optical absorption spectra, and terahertz emission of semiconductor superlattice with the density matrix theory. The excitonic Bloch oscillation is driven by the dc and ac electric fields. The slow variation in the intraband polarization depends on the ac electric field frequency. The intraband polarization increases when the ac electric field frequency is below the Bloch frequency. When the ac electric field frequency is above the Bloch frequency, the intraband polarization downwards and its intensity decreases. The satellite structures in the optical absorption spectra are presented. Due to excitonic dynamic localization, the emission lines of terahertz shift in different ac electric field and dc electric field.     

Study of the electric field and wall voltage in a high pressure ac-PDP cell by laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy

The electric field in a surface discharge type ac-PDP cell with He or He/Xe(0.1%) mixture has been measured over a wide range of pressure (5－50 kPa) using laser induced fluorescence detection. The wall voltage was estimated from the measured electric field. The Stark manifolds of triplet atomic helium Rydberg state (2s^3S) with principal quantum numbers (n=8 and 9) have been used to measure the electric field, as the lifetime of 2s^3S is longer than the single atomic helium Rydberg state (2s^1S) in high pressure discharge. Comparison of the Stark manifolds between the n=9 and n=8 shows that the measurement accuracy of electric field can be increased by 10%. The maximum electric field strength during discharge and the wall voltage at the end of pulse decreases with the increase of pressure. The comparison of He and He/Xe(0.1%) discharge at 13 kPa showed that He/Xe gas mixture discharge can accumulate more wall charge on MgO surface and the electric field was somewhat higher than those of pure helium discharge during pulse off period under the same discharge conditions.     

Multi-bubble motion behavior of electric field based on phase field model

By coupling the phase field model with the continuity equation of incompressible fluid, Navier–Stokes equation,electric field equation, and other governing equations, a multi-field coupling model for multi-bubble coalescence in a viscous fluids is established. The phase field method is used to capture the two-phase interface. The motion and coalescence of a pair of coaxial bubbles under an external uniform electric field and the effects of different electric field strengths on the interaction and coalescence of rising bubbles are studied. The results show that the uniform electric field accelerates the collision and coalescence process of double bubbles in the fluid, and increases the rising velocity of the coalesced bubble.The electric field with an intensity of E = 2 kV/mm is reduced about 2 times compared with that without electric field in coalescence time. When the electric field strength is strong(E ≥ 1 kV/mm), the coalesced bubble will rupture before it rises to the top of the calculation area, and the time of the bubble rupturing also decreases with the increase of the electric field strength. The phase field method is compared with the simulation results of Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM), and the shape of bubble obtained by the two methods is in good agreement, which verifies the correctness of the calculation model.     

Two-electron quantum ring in short pulses

The response of a two-electron quantum ring system to the short laser pulses of different shapes in the presence of external static electric field is studied.The variation of transition probabilities of the two-electron quantum ring from ground state to excited states with a number of parameters is shown and explained.The energy levels and wavefunctions of the system in the presence of static electric field are found by solving the time-independent Schrodinger equation numerically by the finite difference method.The shape of the pulse plays a dominant role on the dynamics.     

Improving breakdown voltage performance of SOI power device with folded drift region

A novel silicon-on-insulator(SOI) high breakdown voltage(BV) power device with interlaced dielectric trenches(IDT) and N/P pillars is proposed. In the studied structure, the drift region is folded by IDT embedded in the active layer,which results in an increase of length of ionization integral remarkably. The crowding phenomenon of electric field in the corner of IDT is relieved by the N/P pillars. Both traits improve two key factors of BV, the ionization integral length and electric field magnitude, and thus BV is significantly enhanced. The electric field in the dielectric layer is enhanced and a major portion of bias is borne by the oxide layer due to the accumulation of inverse charges(holes) at the corner of IDT.The average value of the lateral electric field of the proposed device reaches 60 V/μm with a 10 μm drift length, which increases by 200% in comparison to the conventional SOI LDMOS, resulting in a breakdown voltage of 607 V.     

Influence of Wall Charges on Discharge Characteristics of Surface Discharge

The discharge current and the inception voltage in a surface discharge device have been measured to investigate the influence of wall charges on the discharge characteristics in argon. The results show that the inception voltage decreases as the amplitude of the applied voltage Up increases. However, the sum of the inception voltage and the applied voltage almost keeps constant when Up is changed, due to the fact that the wall charges are generated in the discharge process. This phenomenon suggests that net electric field between the electrodes almost keeps constant when the amplitude of the applied voltage is changed. The electron temperature calculated by the intensity ratio of emitted spectral lines has been estimated to be less than 0.3eV and almost keeps constant under different amplitudes of the applied voltage. The result is consistent with nearly constant net field. The duty ratio of the discharge current increases as the amplitude of the applied voltage increases.     

Quantum Fluctuation of Mesoscopic Capacitance Coupled Circuit in a Thermal Vacuum State

The quantum fluctuations of mesoscopic capacitance-coupled circuit in thermal vacuum state are investigated by using the theory of thermal field dynamics on the basis of quantization of the mesoscopic circuit. It is shown that under a definite temperature, the fluctuations of electric charges and currents change with temperature. The higher the temperature, the more quantum noise the coupled circuit exhibits.
