重费密子系统CeCu6-xNix的极低温电阻研究

CeCu₆是一种重费密子系统,采用Ni替代Cu研究磁性原子掺杂的多晶样品CeCu_6-xNi_x(x=0.00,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20)在极低温下的电阻随温度的变化规律.实验结果表明,随着Ni原子掺杂量的增加,电阻的规律发生变化.在500mK以下,x≈0.1的样品电阻与温度呈线性关系,表现出非费密液体行为,而其他样品皆为典型的费密液体,x≈0.1是其临界掺杂成分.对比用Au替代的情况,临界掺杂成分也是0.1,但Au掺杂是靠体积膨胀来改变合金的基态性质,而Ni掺杂则是因其磁性造成对合金基态性质的影响 关键词： 重费密子 临界掺杂 非费密液体     

Effect of liquid-phase properties on ultrasound intensity and cavitational activity

The intensity of ultrasound is attenuated due to various properties of the liquid, such as viscosity, density, etc. In this paper, a simple method is proposed to measure the combined attenuation and cavitational activity of ultrasound intensity in various organic liquids using standard KI decomposition reaction. A modified experimental attenuation coefficient is proposed and its dependence on liquid viscosity reasonably matches the theoretical predictions made by Stokes [G.G. Stokes, Trans. Camb. Philos. Soc. 8 (1849) 287]. Exploratory work to determine the effect of other liquid properties on cavitational activity is carried out. Correlations are proposed to explain the dependence of the attenuated cavitational activity on various properties of a liquid.     

High-pressure study of non-Fermi liquid and spin-glass-like behavior in CeRhSn

We present measurements of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity ρ(T) of CeRhSn up to ~27 kbar. At low temperatures, ρ(T) varies linearly with T for all pressures, indicating non-Fermi liquid behavior. Below Tf ~ 6 K, ρ(T) deviates from a linear dependence. We found that the low-T feature centered at T = Tf shows a pressure dependence ?Tf/?P ≈ 30 mK kbar?1 which is typical of canonical spin glasses. This interplay between spin-glass-like and non-Fermi liquid behavior was observed in both CeRhSn and a Ce0.9La0.1RhSn alloy.     

Crystallographic and magnetic structure of HAVAR under high-pressure using diamond anvil cell (DAC)

Annealed (H1) and cold-rolled (H2) HAVAR has been studied using high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A structural phase transformation was discovered at ～13 GPa at ambient temperature, transforming from m ??3 m (S.G. 225) to P 63/m m c (S.G. 194) symmetry. The transition was not reversible on pressure release. The low-pressure cubic phase was found to be more compressible than the high-pressure hexagonal phase. Conventional Mössbauer and NFS shows that the HAVAR is not magnetic at room temperature and no splitting is observed. The SQUID indicates a huge difference in the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility between the cold Rolled HAVAR compared to the annealed HAVAR.     

Monte Carlo simulation of the dynamic evolution ofbinary lamellar eutectic in directional solidification

The dynamic evolution of the lamellar eutectic of binary alloys in directional solidification is studied in detail using the Monte Carlo technique. The simulated results can be summarized into two aspects: ({1}) the lamellar spacing λ is found to be inversely proportional to the chemical potential difference Δμ, predicting a linear relationship between the kinetic supercooling ΔT_k and total supercooling at the solid/liquid (S/L) interface; (2) as the solidifying velocity R is low, the dynamic product λ^{2}R shows a considerable dependence on temperature gradient G_T in the liquid in front of the S/L interface, although this dependence becomes much weaker at a high R.     

Quantum criticality in a Mott pn junction in an armchair carbon nanotube

In an armchair carbon nanotube pn junction the p and n regions are separated by a region of a Mott insulator, which can backscatter electrons only in pairs. We predict a quantum-critical behavior in such a pn junction. Depending on the junction's built-in electric field E, its conductance G scales either to zero or to 4e(2)/h as the temperature T is lowered. The two types of the G(T) dependence indicate the existence, at some special value of E, of an intermediate quantum-critical point with a finite conductance G<4e(2)/h. This makes the pn junction drastically different from a simple potential barrier in a Luttinger liquid.     

Energy gap suppression and excess current in Tl_2Ba_2CaCu_2O_8 intrinsic Josephson junctions

Intrinsic Josephson junctions in misaligned Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 thin film were fabricated on LaAlO3 substrate. The temperature dependence of the critical current is investigated around liquid nitrogen temperature. In the current voltage characteristic, large voltage jump and lack of resistive branch are observed, which shows good consistency with the intrinsic Josephson junctions. By analyzing the large gap voltage in the curve, great suppression of the energy gap is found. Through discussing the temperature dependence of the gap voltage in liquid nitrogen temperature, it is shown that this phenomenon can be caused by the non-equilibrium quasiparticle injection. The temperature influence on the excess current also confirms the non-equilibrium effect.     

Photosensitization of ZnO single crystals by means of dyes

Photoconductivity in single crystalline ZnO sensitized by Eosine (p-type) and Rhodamine 6 G (n-type) has been measured in the temperature region 80–300 K. The dependence on wavelength of the exciting light shows in both cases a structure with three peaks. Measurements of the dependence on time tell that rise and decay times are strongly wavelength dependent, and indicate further that at least two processes are involved in the build up and decay of the photocurrent. The activation energies found confirm this. A model with two different kinds of surface traps, including both energy and electron transfer is proposed.     

Nonmonotonic behavior of resistance in a superconductor-Luttinger liquid junction

Transport through a superconductor-Luttinger liquid junction is considered. When the interaction in the Luttinger liquid is repulsive, the resistance of the junction with a sufficiently clean interface shows nonmonotonic temperature or voltage dependence due to the competition between the superconductivity and the repulsive interaction. The result is discussed in connection with recent experiments on single-wall carbon nanotubes in contact with superconducting leads.     

Oscillatory melting temperature of the vortex smectic phase in layered superconductors

We report on transport measurements of YBa 2Cu 3O (7-delta) single crystals with different oxygen contents in the geometry B, J ||ab (J perpendicularB). Our data show that the vortices become confined between the Cu-O planes below a well-defined temperature at which the effective size 2xi of the vortex core is approximately equal to the period of the Cu-O layers. This confinement strongly increases the vortex liquid freezing temperature. A new melting line is found separating a vortex liquid and a smectic phase, which shows an oscillatory field dependence reflecting differences between commensurate and incommensurate smectic states.     

Volumetric and transport properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Butyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methylpyrrolidinium bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide–methanol binary mixtures

Densities, viscosities, and ionic conductivities were measured for the binary mixtures containing the ionic liquid N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and methanol over the entire range of compositions at the temperature varying from 253.15 to 318.15 K. The densities and viscosities decrease monotonously with temperature and the content of ionic liquids (ILs). Furthermore, excess isobaric expansion coefficient has been calculated from the experimental densities. The dependence of temperature on the viscosity has been fitted to the Arrhenius law with high precision. The dependence of temperature on the ionic conductivity has also been gauged by both of the Arrhenius and Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher (VTF) equations. In fact, the shape of the curves shows that the temperature dependence of the conductivity does not follow a simple Arrhenius law, but a better fitting of experimental results is achieved using the VTF model. Additionally, the effects of ILs concentration on the viscosity and the conductivity have been examined using the Walden rule, which shows that the variation of conductivity is inversely proportional to viscosity. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations for all mixtures are evaluated and well fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial expansions. Physicochemical properties show two clearly distinguished behaviors corresponding to ILs-rich and methanol-rich regions, with distinct transport and volumetric properties. The obtained results are discussed in terms of dipolar interactions and hydrogen bonding establishment between ions of ILs and the methanol molecules.     

Measurement of Convection and Temperature Profiles in Liquid Samples

This paper describes a method for measuring the rate of convective flow in a liquid sample used for high-resolution NMR. The measurement is straightforward and achieves a clean separation of convection from other effects such as diffusion and relaxation. Convection results from temperature gradients within the sample, and it is shown how these can be measured with the aid of a simple chemical shift imaging experiment of a sample whose spectrum shows a strong and well characterized temperature dependence. The use of these two methods is illustrated by showing how the rate of convection and the temperature profile depend on the solvent, temperature, and gas flow rate of the temperature regulating system. It is also shown that broadband (13)C decoupling results in significant temperature gradients and associated convection.     

Temperature dependent conductance of one dimensioanal systems

The eigenstates tunneling theory leads to some unexpected results for the temperature dependence of the conductance G(T). While G(T) sometimes obeys the usual Mott variable range hopping law, it may sometimes be metallic or even non-monotonic. Thus G(T) for a set of quasi-one-dimensional samples connected in parallel should be T independent. The energy dependence of the localization length and of the density of states have unusual effects on G(T) at higher T.     

Functional MRI and NMR spectroscopy of an operating gas-liquid-solid catalytic reactor

A dynamic in situ study of alpha-methylstyrene catalytic hydrogenation on a single catalyst pellet or in a granular bed is performed using 1H MRI and spatially resolved 1H NMR spectroscopy. Owing to reaction exothermicity, a reciprocating motion of the liquid front within the pellet accompanied by pellet temperature oscillations has been observed. Spatially resolved information on the reactant to product conversion within the catalyst bed has been obtained for a steady-state regime. Two-dimensional 27Al NMR images of alumina catalyst supports and other alumina-containing materials have been detected using moderate magnetic field gradients (80 G/cm) and a two-pulse spin-echo sequence. Temperature dependence of signal intensity and 27Al T1 time of alumina are considered as possible temperature sensors for NMR thermometry applications.

Viscosity of In100 − xSbx molten alloys in the vicinity of equiatomic composition

The viscosity of In–Sb liquid alloys has been measured in the vicinity of equiatomic concentration (40–60 at.% Sb). The measurements were carried out by a torsional oscillation viscometer. Temperature dependence of viscosity coefficient shows the Arrhenius like behavior with anomalous increase near the melting temperature. It is shown that viscosity isotherms reveal a sharp maximum at equiatomic composition, which becomes smoother with temperature increase.     

Valley polarization in Si(100) at zero magnetic field

The valley splitting, which lifts the degeneracy of the lowest two valley states in a SiO(2)/Si(100)/SiO(2) quantum well, is examined through transport measurements. We demonstrate that the valley splitting can be observed directly as a step in the conductance defining a boundary between valley-unpolarized and -polarized regions. This persists to well above liquid helium temperature and shows no dependence on magnetic field, indicating that single-particle valley splitting and valley polarization exist in (100) silicon even at zero magnetic field.     

χ-Maxima in liquid alloys of normal metals with iron

The magnetic susceptibility of some liquid iron alloys shows broad maxima. With an extended Curie-Weiss law considering s-d exchange interactions it is possible to determine magnetic moments for cases of non-linear temperature dependence of 1/χ, too.     

Quantum cluster equilibrium theory treatment of hydrogen-bonded liquids: water,methanol and ethanol

The quantum cluster equilibrium (QCE) theory was used in order to predict the composition of the hydrogen bonded liquids: water, methanol and ethanol. The calculations were based on high accuracy theoretical data obtained at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level of theory. All investigated liquids are predicted to be composed of big clusters: hexamers in the case of water, tetramers, pentamers, hexamers and heptamers in the case of methanol and pentamers in the case of ethanol. The content of big clusters in a liquid phase as predicted by QCE is overestimated. We have found two confirmations of this. First of all, the behaviour of the liquid water isobar clearly demonstrates that there should be a substantial amount of small clusters in order to obtain the correct temperature dependence of the molar volume. Indeed, the theoretical molar volume close to the boiling point is by about 0.6cm³ lower than the experimental one. The molar volume is too low due to the overestimated population of big clusters resulting in too high a liquid density. Second, the temperature dependence of the chemical shift of the hydroxyl protons in liquid methanol and ethanol, obtained as the population weighted average of the chemical shift of individual clusters, is shifted down field as compared to experiment by as much as 2ppm. This is because big clusters with strongly deshielded hydroxyl protons contribute too much to the weighted average. Possible shortcomings of the QCE approach are discussed.
