ZnS(111)表面掺杂Mn的电子结构和磁性的第一性原理研究

应用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理,研究Mn原子掺杂在ZnS(111)表面的电子结构和磁性.对于单原子的掺杂组态,替位表面第一层的Zn原子时体系形成能最低,说明该层是最稳定的掺杂位置.体系总磁矩取决于Mn原子的局域环境.而对于双掺杂组态,当Mn与Mn之间呈短程铁磁耦合作用时体系最稳定.这可由Mn原子和近邻S原子的p-d杂化作用解释.此时,体系的居里温度估算值为469 K,明显高于室温,具有理论指导意义.Mn原子和受主半导体之间的相互作用是自旋极化产生的主要原因.计算结果表明,该掺杂材料可以很好的用来制作稀磁半导体,具有良好的应用前景.

铁磁球/反铁磁纳米体系磁滞回线的Monte Carlo模拟

利用经典Heisenberg模型和Monte Carlo方法研究外磁场和反铁磁磁晶各向异性、交换相互作用对铁磁球均匀嵌入到反铁磁基体中的铁磁/反铁磁纳米体系磁滞回线的影响.模拟结果显示,外加反向最大磁场不同时,磁滞回线形状不同.当磁场正向增加时,体系的磁化强度会产生一个跃变,但跃变高度与反向场最大值无关.反铁磁磁晶各向异性越大,体系的交换偏置现象越明显,且磁化强度回到饱和值所需的外磁场越大.随着反铁磁基体交换相互作用的增大,在正向和负向磁场区域还可能出现新的磁滞现象.

TM掺杂的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族稀磁半导体电磁性质的第一原理计算

使用基于自旋局域密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法对3d过渡金属(TM=V，Cr，Mn，Fe，Co和Ni)掺杂的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体(GaAs和GaP)的电磁性质进行了计算.结果发现：用V，Cr和Mn掺杂时体系将出现铁磁状态，而Fe掺杂时将出现反铁磁状态，Co和Ni掺杂时，其磁性则不稳定.其中，Cr掺杂的GaAs和GaP将可能是具有较高居里温度的稀磁半导体(DMS).在这些DMS系统中，V离子的磁矩大于理论期待值，Fe，Co和Ni离子的磁矩小于理论期待值，Cr和Mn离子的磁矩与期待值的差距取决于晶体的对称性以及磁性离子的能带分布.此外，使用Si和Mn共同对Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体进行掺杂，将有利于DMS表现为铁磁状态，并可以使体系的T_C进一步提高. 关键词： 稀磁半导体 过渡金属 掺杂 共掺杂

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.     

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

Resonance scattering of canonical elastic shells in absorbing fluid medium

Resonance scattering of elastic spherical shell and cylindrical shell while the surrounding fluid medium has absorption is studied. The normal mode solution derived using exact elastic theory and the separation of variables is still applicable. However, the scattering form function has to be modified for the absorbing medium, otherwise the unreasonable result would be obtained. The backscattering form function in the absorbing medium is redefined, and the form function of elastic spherical and cylindrical shell with vacuum or solid matter filled is calculated in various absorption conditions. The results show that the absorption of surrounding fluid leads to notable attenuation of the coincidence resonances in the mid-frequency, but it has a little influence on the low-frequency resonance scattering induced by the filler inside the shell.     

Single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensor with high detection resolution

A versatile and low-cost single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensing system with ultra-high resolution performance is presented.The system exhibits a root-mean-square phase fluctuation of ±0.0028.over a period of 45 min.i.e.a resolution of±5.2×10-9 refractive index units.The enhanced performance has been achieved through the incorporation of three design elements:a true single-beam configuration enabling complete self-referencing so that only the phase change associated with SPR gets detected,a differential measurement scheme to eliminate spurious signals not related to the sensor response,and the elimination of retardation drifts by incorporating temperature stabilization in the liquid crystal phase modulato .Our design should bring the detection sensitivity of non-labeling SPR biosensing closer to that achievable by conventional fluorescence-based techniques.     

Influences of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 films

Ta2O5 films are prepared on BK7 substrates with conventional electron beam evaporation deposition.The effects of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the films are investigated.The results show that SiO2 protective layers exert little influence on the electric field intensity(EFI)distribution,microstructure and microdefect density but increase the absorption slightly.Annealing iS effective on decreasing the microdefect density and the absorption of the films.Both SiO2 protective layers and annealing are beneficial to the damage resistance of the films and the latter is more effective to improve the LIDT.Moreover,the maximal LIDT of Ta2O5 films is achieved by the combination of SiO2 protective layers and annealing.     

A stereo matching algorithm using multi-peak candidate matches and geometric constraints

Gray cross correlation matching technique is adopted to extract candidate matches with gray cross correla- tion coefficients less than some certain range of maximal correlation coefficient called multi-peak candidate matches. Multi-peak candidates are extracted corresponding to three closest feature points at first. The corresponding multi-peak candidate matches are used to construct the model polygon. Correspondence is determined based on the local geometric relations between the three feature points and the multi-peak candidates. The disparity test and the global consistency checkout are applied to eliminate the remaining ambiguous matches that are not removed by the local geometric relational test. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and accurate.     

Fiber Modal Index Measurements Based on Fiber Gratings

A novel method based on fiber gratings for measuring the effective indices of fiber modes is proposed. The effective index difference between the core mode and a cladding mode was obtained by analyzing the interference fringe of a pair of cascaded long-period fiber gratings. In order to extract the core mode index from the measured index difference, an index matching oil immersion method is proposed. By analyzing the interaction between the cladding mode and the oil applied on the cladding surface, the mode order and the effective index of the involved cladding mode might be calculated. Experimental results about the interference fringe shifts induced by the oil index and the oil-applied length are also presented.     

Optical Pulse Compression Schemes That Use Nonlinear Bragg Gratings

Nonlinear optical pulse compression of picosecond pulses typically requires long lengths of optical fiber and multiple components. Periodic structures, such as fiber Bragg gratings, are highly dispersive at wavelengths outside of the photonic bandgap. This implies that such gratings can be used as very short all-fiber compressors. In this paper a number of such compression schemes are reviewed involving uniform and nonuniform fiber Bragg gratings, relying on both soliton and nonsoliton compression principles. Experimental results supporting the corresponding underlying theory are also presented. Finally, an extension of one of the compression schemes is shown, which allows the generation of adjustable high-repetition rate soliton trains.
