DISLOCATION DISSOCIATION ON CLIMB PLANE IN TEXTURED YBa2Cu3O7-δ SUPERCONDUCTOR

Using high resolution electron microscopy, the structure of [100] tilt boundary with misorientation of 1.2° in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ has been determined. The boundary is shown to consist of an array of partial dis-locations, These partials result from the dissociation of a perfect dislocation with a Burgers vector [0, 0, c] on its climb plane according to the reaction, b→b₁+b₂+b₁+b₂+b₁+b₂. Here b=[00c], b₁=[O,b/2, c/6} (or [a/2, 0, c/6] ). b₂=[0, -b/2. c/6] (or[ -a/2, 0, c/6] ). The spacing between the perfect dislocations satisfies the Read-Shockley formula. There exist no amorphous phases in the boundary region.     

An exact inflationary solution in the chaotic model with non-minimal coupling

This paper presents a new exact inflationary solution to the non-minimally coupled scalar field. The inflation is driven by the evolution of a scalar field with inflation potential V(φ ) = (λ/ 4)φ⁴+ b₁ φ²+ b₂ + b₃ φ^-2 + b₄ φ^-4. The spectral index of the scalar density fluctuations n_s is consistent with the result of WMAP3 (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 3) for λCDM (Lambda-Cold Dark Matter). This model relaxes the constraint to the quartic coupling constant. And it can enter smoothly into a radiation-dominated stage when inflation ends.     

Analysis of B → a1（1260）（b1（1235））K decays in the perturbative QCD approach

Within the framework of the perturbative quantum chromodynamics（PQCD） approach, we study the charmless two-body decays B → a₁（1260）K*, b₁（1235）K*. Using the decay constants and the light-cone distribution amplitudes for these mesons derived from the QCD sum rule method, we find the following results.（a） Our predictions for the branching ratios are consistent with the QCD factorization（QCDF） results within errors, but much larger than the naive factorization approach calculation values.（b） We predict that the anomalous polarizations occurring in the decays B→φK*, ρK*also happen in B→a₁ K*decays, while they do not happen in B→b₁ K*decays. Here the contributions from the annihilation diagrams play an important role in explaining the larger transverse polarizations in the B→a₁ K*decays, while they are not sensitive to the polarizations for the B→b₁ K*decays.（c） Our predictions for the direct C P-asymmetries agree well with the QCDF results within errors. The decaysˉB⁰→b₁₊K*-, B-→b₁⁰K*-have larger direct C P-asymmetries, which could be measured by the present LHCb experiment and the forthcoming Super-B experiment.     

PHASE TRANSITIONS IN Bi2Sr2(Cu1-zFez)O6+δ

We have investigated, by X-ray diffraction, a series of single crystals of Bi-based oxides with the nominal composition Bi₂Sr₂(Cu_1-zFe_z)O_6+δ(0≤z≤0.55). In this system we observed two structural phase transitions with the increase of the doping content. The first transition, from an incommensurate monoclinic phase to an incommensurate orthorhombic phase, occurs at a doping content of iron z_Fe=0.027. The second one corresponds to a phase transition from an incommensurate orthorhombic phase to a commensurate orthorhombic phase at z_Fe=0.34. The comparison of these results with those for more limited substitutions of Zn and Ni indicates the significant role of the insertion of the extra oxygen in the (Bi-O)_∞ double layers.     

RAMAN STUDIES ON THE PHASE TRANSITIONS OF (NH4)2SnBr6 CRYSTALS

We report here the structural phase transitions of the crystal (NH₄)₂SnBr₆ investigated by Raman scattering at temperatures ranging from 10K to room temperature. Two phase transitions occurring at 150 and ll0K are found. Based on the group theory, it is proposed that the crystal undergoes a second-order phase transition at 150 K, resulting from a ferro-distortion with symmetry Γ⁴⁺. The change of structure is confirmed to be O⁵_h to C⁵_4h, which is assigned to the rotary of [SnBr₆]^2- ion groups around the axis of <001>. Furthermore the crystal undergoes an order-disorder phase transition at ll0K which is related with the reorientation of the ammonium ion group. It is noticed that the change of the vibrational modes at 77K does not show any phase transition.     

Ab initio study on crystal structure and phase stability of ZrC_2 under high pressure

The structural stabilities and crystal evolution behaviors of the hyper stoichiometric compound ZrC₂(carbon rich;C/Zr> 1.0) are studied under ambient and high pressure conditions using first-principles calculations in combination with the particle-swarm optimization algorithm.Six viable structures of ZrC₂ in P21/c,Cmmm,Cmc2₁,P4₂/nmc,Immm and P6/mmm symmetries are identified.These structures are dynamically stable as their phonon spectra have no imaginary modes at zero pressure or at the selected high-pressure points.Among them,the P21/c phase represents the ground state structure,whereas P21/c,P4₂/nmc,Immm and P6/mmm phases are part of the phase transition series.The phase order and critical pressures of the phase transition are determined to be approximately 300 GPa according to the equation of states and enthalpy.Furthermore,the mechanical and electronic properties are investigated.The P21/c and Cmc2₁ phases display a semi-metal nature,whereas the P4₂/nmc,Immm,P6/mmm and Cmmm phases exhibit a metallic nature.Moreover,the present study reveals considerable information regarding the structural,mechanical and electronic properties of ZrC₂,thereby providing key insights into its material properties and evaluating its behavior in practical applications.

Spectroscopic Characterizations of Metal-Complexes of 4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid With the Ni(Ⅱ), Mn(Ⅱ), and Cu(Ⅱ) Ions

One of the phenolic acids is 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) which takes the form of a white crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C₇H₆O₃, a melting point of 214.5 ℃ and a molecular weight of 138.12 g·mol-1. It soluble in polar organic solvents like acetone and alcohols, and slightly soluble in chloroform and water. The reactions between the metal ions and the HBA were carried out under specific conditions like (molar reaction was 2∶2 (ligand to metal), reaction temperature was 60 ℃, media was neutral (pH 7), and solvent was H₂O ∶MeOH (1∶1). Under these conditions, the HBA was deprotonated to form (HOC₆H₄CO-₂; L-). The ligand L- was coordinated to the metal ions forming the metal complexation. The reaction of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HOC₆H₄CO₂H; HL) with the Ni(Ⅱ), Mn(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) ions afford metal-complexes with gross formula of [Ni₂L₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₄], [Mn₂L₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₄] and [Cu₂L₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₄], respectively. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis spectra, infrared (IR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques. The complexes of HBA are insoluble in common solvents and hence molar conductance could not be measured, but this very insolubility indicates that the complexes are neutral. Data has demonstrated that the ligand (L-) was coordinated to the metal ion by bidentate bridging carboxylate group (COO-), with an octahedral geometry. Thus, HBA is expected to act as bidentate uninegative ions and the coordination number of the metal ions is six. XRD results showed that the complexes possess uniform and organized microstructures in the nanometer range with a main diameter in the range of 11～28 nm.     

PREPARATION OF a-AXIS ORIENTED YBa2Cu3Ox THIN FILMS

The a-axis oriented YBa₂Cu₃O_x(YBCO) thin films could be grown on (100) SrTiO₃(STO) substrates with STO buffer layers by dc and rf magnetron sputtering either by low-ering the deposition temperature, or by using a self-template technique. For the latter, the resistivity of the thin film at 290K along the substrate [001] direction is about four times larger than that in the [010] direction. The zero resistance temperatures T_c0 are 89 K in both directions. So high quality a-axis oriented YBCO thin films can be prepared by the self-template technique. Also the T_c0 increase monotonously with the reduction of the thickness of the YBCO seed layer.     

Rashba electron transport in one-dimensional quantum waveguides

The properties of Rashba wave function in the planar one-dimensional waveguide are studied, and the following results are obtained. Due to the Rashba effect, the plane waves of electron with the energy E divide into two kinds of waves with the wave vectors k 1 =k 0 +k δ and k 2 =k 0 -k δ , where k δ is proportional to the Rashba coefficient, and their spin orientations are +π/2 (spin up) and -π/2 (spin down) with respect to the circuit, respectively. If there is gate or ferromagnetic contact in the circuit, the Rashba wave function becomes standing wave form exp(±ik δ l)sin[k 0 (l-L)], where L is the position coordinate of the gate or contact. Unlike the electron without considering the spin, the phase of the Rashba plane or standing wave function depends on the direction angle θ of the circuit. The travel velocity of the Rashba waves with the wave vector k 1 or k 2 are the same hk0/m * . The boundary conditions of the Rashba wave functions at the intersection of circuits are given from the continuity of wave functions and the conservation of current density. Using the boundary conditions of Rashba wave functions we study the transmission and reflection probabilities of Rashba electron moving in several structures, and find the interference effects of the two Rashba waves with different wave vectors caused by ferromagnetic contact or the gate. Lastly we derive the general theory of multiple branches structure. The theory can be used to design various spin polarized devices.

Nonlocal Optical Spatial Soliton with a Non-parabolic Symmetry and Real-valued Convolution Response Kernel

Based on the picture of nonlinear and non-parabolic symmetry response, i.e., Δn₂(I)≈ρ(a₀+a₁x-a₂x²), we propose a model for the transversal beam intensity distribution of the nonlocal spatial soliton. In this model, as a convolution response with non-parabolic symmetry, Δ n₂(I)≈ρ(b₀+b₁f-b₂f² with b₂/b₁>0 is assumed. Furthermore, instead of the wave function Ψ, the high-order nonlinear equation for the beam intensity distribution f has been derived and the bell-shaped soliton solution with the envelope form has been obtained. The results demonstrate that, since the existence of the terms of non-parabolic response, the nonlocal spatial soliton has the bistable state solution. If the frequency shift of wave number β satisfies 0<4(β-ρb₀/μ)<3η₀/8α, the bistable state soliton solution is stable against perturbation. It should be emphasized that the soliton solution arising from a parabolic-symmetry response kernel is trivial. The sufficient condition for the existence of bistable state soliton solution b₂/b₁>0 has been demonstrated.     

Positivity of energy in five dimensional classical unified field theories, II

Five dimensional classical unified field theories as well as Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(1), are described in terms of a Lorentzian five dimensional space V₅ with metric tensor γβ which admits a space-like Killing vector ζ. It is assumed that: (1) V₅ has the topology of V₄ x S¹, S¹ is a circle and V₄ is a four dimensional Lorentzian space that is asymptotically flat and (2) the Einstein tensor Γ_β of V₅ satisfies Γ_β Uυ^{β 0} where U and υ are future oriented time-like vectors with γ_βυζ^β = 0. The spinor approach of Witten [4], Nester [3] and Moreschi and Sparling [5] is used to show that the conserved five dimensional energymomentum vector P = ifΓ_β = 0 then V₅ must admit a time-like Killing vector. Lichnerowicz's results [1] then imply that V₅ must be flat. A lower bound for P⁴ (the mass) similar to that found by Gibbons and Hull [6] is obtained.     

Analysis of temperature and 1 MeV proton irradiation effects on the light emission in bulk silicon (npn) emitter-base bipolar junctions

In this work, we present the temperature and 1 MeV irradiation proton effects on the light emission in bulk silicon emitter-base junctions for direct and reverse polarizations. Our samples were exposed at room temperature to 5.3 × 10⁸, 5.3 × 10¹⁰, 5 × 10¹¹, 5 × 10¹² and 5 × 10¹³ p cm⁻². The spectral range for which electroluminescence spectrums were recorded for forward and reverse polarizations is 0.6–2 eV. For forward bias, EL maximum intensity occurs at 1.0923 ± 0.0001 eV (structure (a)) which decreases as function of irradiation fluencies. For reverse bias, the spectra contain two structures (b) and (c). The first structure (c) occurred at 1.6243 ± 0.0013 eV is independent of irradiation while the second structure (b) decreases as function of fluencies irradiation. The Gaussian deconvolution of (b) shows two sub-structures (b₁) and (b₂) which are located, respectively, at 0.8064 ± 0.0004 eV and 0.9917 ± 0.0016 eV. We studied temperature dependence of full width at half-maximum (FWHM) and we found that the phonons involved in (a), (b₁) and (b₂) on the one hand and (c) on the other hand are not the same. Moreover, we obtained from the study of EL intensity temperature dependence that the activation energies of (a), (b₁) and (b₂) are identical and differ from that of (c). These effects enable us to conclude that visible light emission does not have the same origin as that in infra-red. From these observations, we can attribute the structures (a) and (b) to indirect inter-bands transitions and (c) to a direct intra-band transitions.     

X-ray diffraction studies of epitaxy in orthorhombic- DyMnO3/Er1Ba2Cu3O7-δ thin film heterostructures on LaAlO3 (100) substrates

The heteroepitaxy in DyMnO₃/Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ bilayer thin films on LaAlO₃ (100) substates was characterized by four-circle X-ray diffractometry. The Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ thin films on LaAlO₃ (100) substrates were prepared by molecular-beam deposition (MBD) and post-growth annealing in wet and dry O₂ at 880°C, whereas the DyMnO₃ thin films on the Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ/LaAlO₃ (100) heterostructure were deposited by MBD and post-growth annealing in dry O₂ at 750°C. The conventional X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns as well as pole figures (φ-scans) for specific (hkl) reflections were acquired. The Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ thin film in the DyMnO₃/Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ/LaAlO₃ (100) heterostructure showed [001] oriented epitaxial growth, as expected. The DyMnO₃ thin film on the Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ epilayer in the heterostructure grew with (110) epitaxy in its metastable orthorhombic phase (lattice constants: a_o=5.272 Å, b_o=5.795 Å and c_o=7.38 Å). The heteroepitaxial relationships at the orthorhombic-DyMnO O₃ (110) /Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ (001) interface was determined as the following: DyMnO₃ (110) Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ (001), DyMnO₃ [1 0] ¶r; Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ[100] or Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ[010], and DyMnO₃ [001] ¶r; Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O _7-δ[010] or Er₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ [100].     

R-Parity Violation Effects on b1→bχ10in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

We investigate in detail the effects of R-parity lepton number violation on the decay b₁→bχ₁⁰ in the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (R_p-MSSM) under the present experimental constraints on R_p parameters. In our numerical calculations we consider two cases of input parameters of the squark and slepton sectors, M_squark<M_slepton and M_squark>M_slepton, for comparison. The results show that the relative R-parity violating correction is not very sensitive to the mass of the lightest neutralino χ₁⁰ and the degenerate R-parity violating coupling parameter λ₂, but strongly depends on M_squark, M_slepton, tan β and the degenerate R-parity violating coupling parameter λ₁. The relative correction is about -4～3% and can exceed -6% in some region of parameter space. Therefore, precise experiment analyses on the decay b₁→bχ₁⁰ may provide a probe of the R-parity violation.

A Proposal on the Search for the Hybrid with I^G（J^PC）=1^—（1—＋）in the Process J／ψ→ρωππ at Upgraded BEPC／BES

We give the moment expressions for the boson resonances X with spin-parity JXPXC=0 ,1- ,1 and 2 posibly produced in the process J/ψ→ρX,X→b1(1235)π,b1→ωπ in terms of the generalized moment analysis method .The resonance with JXPXC=1- can e distingguished from other resonances by means of these moments exceptfor some rather special cases.The suggestion that the search for the hybrid with IG(JPC)=1-(1- ) can be performed in the decay channl J/ψ→ρωππat upgraded BEPC/BES is presented.     

Band structures and proton-neutron interactions in Ta

Six rotational bands in the odd-odd nucleus ¹⁷⁴Ta have been populated with the ¹⁶⁰Gd(¹⁹F,5n) reaction. High-spin states were identified using the NORDBALL array. Both signatures of the doubly decoupled π1/2⁻ [541] ν1/2⁻ [521] band and semi-decoupled π1/2⁻ [541] ν7/2⁻ [633] band are observed, in addition to the high-K couplings of the π9/2⁻ [514] ν7/2⁺ [633], π9/2⁻ [514] ν5/2⁻ [512], π7/2⁺ [404] ν7/2⁺ [633], and π5/2⁺ [402] ν5/2⁻ [512] configurations. The signature splitting of the π1/2⁻ [541] ν7/2⁺ [633] band is inverted from the expected splitting, and this is interpreted as being due to a residual proton-neutron interaction. It is shown empirically that this interaction, together with deformation changes, can account for the increased crossing frequency associated with the alignment of i_13/2 neutrons in the π1/2⁻ [541] bands of odd-Z nuclei.     

Elemental steps in the growth of thin β-Ga2O3 films on CoGa(1 0 0)

The oxidation of CoGa(1 0 0) at 700 K was studied by means of high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). At 700 K, thin well-ordered β-Ga₂O₃ films grow on CoGa(1 0 0). The EEL spectrum of the Ga-oxide films exhibit Fuchs–Kliewer phonons at 305, 455, 645, and 785 cm⁻¹. For low oxygen exposure (<0.2 L), the growth of oxide-islands starts at step edges and on defects. The oxide films have the shape of long, rectangular islands and are oriented in the [1 0 0] and [0 1 0] directions of the substrate. For higher oxygen exposure, islands of β-Ga₂O₃ are found also on the terraces. After an exposure of 200 L O₂ at 700 K, the CoGa(1 0 0) surface is homogeneously covered with a thin film of β-Ga₂O₃.
