Inverse-Heusler合金Ti_2NiAl/GaAs隧道异质结的自旋极化和电磁特性

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,研究了Hg_2CoTi型Inverse-Heusler合金Ti_2NiAl和GaAs异质界面上的原子相互作用、磁性、态密度和自旋极化.结果表明,在所研究的12种异质结构(包括顶位和桥位连接)中,界面态的存在不同程度地破坏了合金的半金属性,导致不超过75%的自旋极化率发生;仅当Heusler合金TiAl端面的Al原子或者TiNi端面的Ti原子位于As原子的顶位时,合金异质结可以保留着约72%的自旋极化率,根据Julliere模型,能最大实现68.9%的自旋电子迁移率,有望在隧穿磁阻中实际应用.

本文通过第一原理计算,研究了Ti_2NiAl/MgO(100)异质结Ti Al-O、TiNi-Mg、TiNi-O和Ti AlMg这4种原子端面的界面结构、原子磁性、态密度和自旋极化.在平衡界面结构中,由于原子间相互作用力的存在,Ti-Mg (Ni-Mg)键的长度远大于Ti-O (Ni-O)键的长度.在所有端面中,原来块体出现的半金属间隙都遭受了界面态的不同程度破坏.在Ti_2Ni Al/MgO(100)异质结中,TiNi-O界面检测到具有最大76%左右自旋极化率,根据Julliere模型预测Ti_2NiAl/MgO(100)异质结在低温下的隧道磁电阻值(TMR)可以达到281%.

不同组分厚度比的LaMnO3/SrTiO3异质界面电子结构和磁性的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算, 研究了(LaMnO₃)_n/(SrTiO₃)_m(LMO/STO)异质界面的离子弛豫、电子结构和磁性质. 研究表明, 不同组分厚度比及界面类型时, 离子弛豫程度各不相同, 并且界面处的电子性质受此影响较大. 对于n型界面, 当LMO的厚度达到6个单胞层后, 电子会从LMO转移到STO, 转移的电子占据界面层Ti原子的3d电子轨道, 界面处出现二维电子气. 对于n型界面(LMO)_n/(STO)₂, 随着LMO厚度数n的增加, 由离子弛豫造成的结构畸变减小, 而界面处Ti原子周围电子的态密度和自旋极化却增大, 表明高厚度比的n型界面有利于产生高迁移率的二维电子气和自旋极化. 而对于p型(LMO)₂/(STO)₈界面, 在STO一侧基本没有结构畸变, 界面处无电子转移和自旋极化现象. 通过计算平均静电势发现n型和p型界面处的势差大小相差2 eV, 解释了p型界面不容易发生电荷转移的原因.     

第一性原理研究四元Heusler合金TiZrCoIn (100) 的表面结构、磁性及自旋极化率

本文利用第一性原理计算方法,对具有半金属性的四元Heusler合金TiZrCoIn两个不同终端表面效应进行了理论研究,主要针对表面效应对其结构、磁性、电子结构、自旋极化率及半金属性的影响来展开调研,以便寻求适合于隧道结的表面材料,为后续相关理论研究及实验提供一定参考。研究结果显示,两终端表面不同原子分别发生了不同程度的伸缩,同层原子发生错位,致使表面原子间距改变,进而改变它们之间的杂化作用,同时也影响着原子的磁矩。另外通过分析其态密度,发现TiCo-(100)和ZrIn-(100)两个终端表面由于受到表面效应的影响,其电子结构发生了很大的改变。块体TiZrCoIn原有的宽带隙和半金属性被表面态所破坏,但仍然保留着很高的自旋极化率,尤其是ZrIn-(100)终端表面,其费米面处呈现几乎100%的自旋极化率。

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).

Femtosecond Transform-Limited Pulse Generation by Compensating for the Linear Chirp of SPM Spectra in Dispersion Shifted Fibers

A simple technique of pulse compression, based on the linear chirp compensation of self-phase modulation (SPM) spectra in dispersion shifted fibers, is demonstrated. The optimization procedure is carried out, for a short span of a single-mode fiber, using a parabolic law, which describes the behavior of the squared output pulse width versus the pump peak power in the case of Gaussian pulses. The experimental results give a minimum pulse duration of 233 fs, which is in good agreement with the model. Shorter and coherent pulses, down to 90 fs, have been obtained by inserting an interference filter at the optical output.     

Sorting of bending magnets for the SSRF booster

The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF)booster ring,a full energy injector for the storage ring,is deigned to accelerate the electron beam energy from 150MeV to 3.5GeV that demands high extraction efficiency at the extraction energy with low beam loss rate when electrons are ramping.Closed orbit distortion(COD)caused by bending magnet field uniformity errors which affects the machine performance harmfully could be effectively reduced by bending magnet location sorting.Considering the affections of random errors in measurement,both ideal sorting and realistic sorting are studied based on measured bending magnet field uniformity errors and one reasonable combination of bending magnets which can reduce the horizontal COD by a factor of 5is given as the final installation sequence of the booster bending magnets in this paper.

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.
