Effect of vacancy defect on electrical properties of chiral single-walled carbon nanotube under external electrical field

Ab initio calculations demonstrated that the energy gap modulation of a chiral carbon nanotube with mono-vacancy defect can be achieved by applying a transverse electric field. The bandstructure of this defective carbon nanotube varying due to the external electric field is distinctly different from those of the perfect nanotube and defective zigzag nanotube. This variation in bandstructure strongly depends on not only the chirality of the nanotube and also the applied direction of the transverse electric field. A mechanism is proposed to explain the response of the local energy gap between the valence band maximum state and the local gap state under external electric field. Several potential applications of these phenomena are discussed.     

Band gap tuning of defective silicon carbide nanotubes under external electric field: Density functional theory

We have theoretically investigated the effect of applying longitudinal and transverse electric field on silicon carbide nanotubes with different orientations of Stone Wales defects. We found that each type of Stone Wales defects maintained different formation energy. We have also successfully proved that the orientation of Stone Wales defects in silicon carbide nanotubes response quite differently upon applying external electric field, whereas, two important and interesting phenomena were observed. First, the semiconductor-metal phase transition occurred in silicon carbide nanotubes as well as the three types of Stone Wales defects. However, clear band gap variations were observed in all silicon carbide nanotubes under study. Second, the band gap variations in pristine silicon carbide nanotubes and nanotubes with different orientations of Stone Wales defects have the same trend, even though all silicon carbide nanotubes have clear band gap values under different strengths of the applied external electric field. However, band gap tuning under longitudinal electric field is less significant compared to band gap tuning under the transverse electric field.

New all-optical method for measuring molecular permanent dipole moment difference using two-photon absorption spectroscopy

Stark effect, in combination with spectral hole burning and single-molecule spectroscopy, has been a fruitful technique to study permanent electric dipole moment of molecules in condensed phase. However, because measuring Stark shifts relies on external fields and narrow line- or hole-widths, the applicability of this method at ambient conditions required by most biological systems has remained limited. Here we demonstrate a new all-optical method for measuring the molecular dipole moment difference between ground and excited states using two-photon absorption (2PA) spectroscopy. We show that the value and orientation of the static dipole moment difference can be determined from the corresponding absolute 2PA cross-section. We use this new method to determine for the first time the strength of local electric field E_loc=0.1-1.0×10⁸ V/cm inside beta-barrel of Fruit series of red fluorescent proteins. Because our method does not rely on external field and is applicable in liquid solutions, it is well suited for the study of biological systems.

Excitons in optical spectra of boron-nitride (BN) nanotubes

Exciton effects are studied in single-wall boron-nitride nanotubes. The Coulomb interaction dependence of the band gap, the optical gap, and the binding energy of excitons are discussed. The optical gap of the (5,0) nanotube is about 6 eV at the on-site interaction U=2t with the hopping integral t=1.1 eV. The binding energy of the exciton is 0.50 eV for these parameters. This energy agrees well with that of other theoretical investigations. We find that the energy gap and the binding energy are almost independent of the geometries of nanotubes. This novel property is in contrast with that of the carbon nanotubes, which show metallic and semiconducting properties depending on the chiralities.

The field-induced states at the surfaces of the nearly-free-electron metals

We have studied theoretically the energy spectra of the field-induced electronic states, generated by the positive external electric field applied to the Au(001) and Au(111) surfaces. The aim of this paper was to investigate the influence of the Schockley-inverted energy gap in the metal band structure on the energies of these states. The investigations have been performed for different intensitiesF of the applied electric field (0<F}<10⁸ V/cm). Our results indicate that the crystal potential influences considerably the energy spectra of the field-induced states. This effect is especially important in the case where these states appear near the energy gap.

Linear dichroism, produced by thermo-electric alignment of silver nanoparticles on the surface of ion-exchanged glass

A heated Ag⁺-doped glass is subjected to an external constant uniform electric field (E_o > 250 V/cm) parallel to its surface. Absorption spectra studies by linear polarized light imply the induction of a linear dichroism in the samples, after the above-mentioned thermo-electrical process. It is found that the increase in the temperature (400 °C ≤ T ≤ 600 °C), results in the formation of neutral silver multimers and clusters on the samples. Dichroism is the result of simultaneous application of the steady uniform electric field and heating. That is, the process aligns the produced silver nanoparticles along the applied electric field (E_o) during the aggregation of silver nano-clusters via dipole-dipole interaction, leading to the formation of chain-like conductive structures.

Determination of the molecular dipole moment of bromofluoromethane: Microwave Stark spectra and ab initio calculations

The electric dipole moment of bromofluoromethane, CH₂⁷⁹BrF, has been determined with a good accuracy by observing the second order ΔM_J = 0 Stark spectrum of the J = 3_2,1 ← 3_1,2, J = 5_2,3 ← 5_1,4 and J = 5_2,4 ← 5_1,5 rotational transitions. In addition, the equilibrium geometry and dipole moment have been evaluated using highly accurate ab initio calculations. By comparing the experimental [μ_a = 0.3466(11) D and μ_b = 1.704(26) D] and theoretical [μ_a = −0.339 D and μ_b = −1.701 D] dipole moment components, a very good agreement has been found.     

The permanent electric dipole moment of holmium monoxide, HoO

The high resolution molecular beam laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectrum of the (0, 0) band of the [17.6]7.5-X₁8.5 system of holmium monoxide, HoO, has been recorded field free and in the presence of a variable static electric field. The rotational constant, B₀, and magnetic hyperfine structure constant, h, for the v = 0 levels of the [17.6]7.5 and X₁8.5 states were obtained by assigning and fitting the field-free spectral features. The Stark shifts and splittings in the LIF spectra were analyzed to produce values for the magnitude of the permanent electric dipole moments, |μ|, of 3.96(6) and 4.80(5) D for [17.6]7.5, v = 0 and X₁8.5, v = 0, respectively.     

Radiative rates and electron impact excitation rate coefficients for H-like Fe XXVI

In this paper we report on calculations on energy levels, radiative rates, collision strengths, and effective collision strengths for transitions among the lowest 36 levels of the n≤6 configurations of H-like Fe XXVI. Flexible atomic code (FAC) is adopted for the calculation. Energy levels and radiative rates are calculated within relativistic configuration-interaction method. Direct excitation collision strength is calculated using relativistic distorted-wave approximation. Resonance contributions through the relevant He-like doubly excited n^′l^′n^″l^″ configurations with n^′≤7 and n^″≤75 are explicitly taken into account using the isolated process and isolated resonances approximation. We present the radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for all electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions among the 36 levels. Furthermore, collision strengths and effective collision strengths are reported for all the 630 transitions among the above 36 levels over a wide energy (temperature) range up to 25 keV . Extensive comparisons are made with earlier available results and the accuracy of the data is assessed.
