Growth and Characteristics of Epitaxial AlxGa1-xN by MOCVD

Al_xGa_1-xN epilayers with a wide Al composition range (0.2≤x≤ 0.68) were grown on AlN/sapphire templates by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (LP-MOCVD). X-ray diffraction results reveal that both the (0002) and (10^-15) full widths at half-maximum (FWHM) of the Al_xGa_1-xN epilayer decrease with increasing Al composition due to the smaller lattice mismatch to the AlN template. However, the surface morphology becomes rougher with increasing Al composition due to the weak migration ability of Al atoms. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra show pronounced near band edge (NBE) emission and the NBE FWHM becomes broader with increasing Al composition mainly caused by alloy disorder. Meanwhile, possible causes of the low energy peaks in the PL spectra are discussed.

CALCULATION OF THE HEAT OF FORMATION OF TERNARY COMPOUNDS: P-Ga-As, N-Ga-As, N-Ga-P

Miedema method, which was proposed to calculate the heat of formation of binary alloy system, is extended for calculating the heat of formation of ternary system by using the Toop's model. The hypothetical metallic allotropes correspounding to the properties of nonmetallic elements are introduced. In our calculation, the structure-dependent energy contributions have not been taken into account. The heat of formation of GaAs_1-x P_x, GaAs_1-xN_x, and GaP_1-xN_x are obtained by projecting the heat of formation of ternary systems, P-Ga-As, N-Ga-As, and N-Ga-P onto the plane of the concentration of Ga, c₂ = 0.5, respectively. The possibility of existence of ordered ternary compound was predicted. The dependence of direct band gap, E^Γ, or indirect one, E^X, for GaP_1-xN_x and GaAs_1-xN_x, on x, the concentration of N, is obtained by using the dielectric theory of electronegativity.     

Thermal Expansion Anomaly of Tb2Fe14Cr3 Compound

We investigate the thermal expansion property of the Tb₂Fe₁₄Cr₃ compound by means of x-ray diffraction. The result shows that the Tb₂Fe₁₄Cr₃ compound has a hexagonal Th₂Ni₁₇-type structure. Negative thermalexpansion is found in the Tb₂Fe₁₄Cr₃ compound from 296 to 493K by x-ray dilatometry. The coefficient of the average thermal expansion is α=-2.82 × 10^-5K^-1. In the temperature range 493--692K, the coefficient of the average thermal expansion is α=1.59 × 10^-5K^-1. The physical mechanism of thermal expansion anomaly of the Tb₂Fe₁₄Cr₃ compound is discussed according to the temperature dependence of magnetization measured by a superconducting quantum interference device.     

Cu Doping Effect on Electrical Resistivity and Seebeck Coefficient of Perovskite-Type LaFeO3 Ceramics

Perovskite-type LaFe_1-xCu_xO₃ (x=0.10$, 0.14, 0.18) solid solution is prepared with the conventional solid-state reaction technique. The electrical resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient are measured in the temperature range 473-1073K to elucidate the Cu doping effect on the thermoelectric properties of the LaFeO₃. The electrical resisitivity of LaFe_1-xCu_xO₃ shows semiconducting behavior. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity indicates that the adiabatic small-polaron hopping mechanism is dominant for their electric transportations. The activation energy decreases with the increasing Cu content as well as the increasing temperature. The Seebeck coefficient changes from a negative value to a positive value around 510K, and increases with rising temperature up to 710K, then becomes saturated around 200μV/K. The Seebeck coefficient decreases with the substitution of Cu atoms in the temperature range of 573-1073K, while the electrical resistivity decreases with the substitution of Cu atoms in the whole measured temperature. Overall the power factor increases with rising temperature, and the highest value of power factor is 54μW/K²m for x=0.10 of Cu doping.     

Effect of Co-Substitution on Magnetic Properties in Spinels GeNi2O4 Systems

The magnetic properties of spinel GeNi_2-2xCo_2xO₄ systems in the range 0≤x≤1 are studied by mean field theory and high-temperature series expansions. The nearest neighbouring and the next-neighbouring super-exchange interactions J₁ (x) and J₂(x) are evaluated for these systems in the range 0≤x≤1, by using the first theory. The intra-planar and the inter-planar interactions and the exchange energy are deduced. The second theory is applied in the spinel GeNi_2-2xCo_2xO₄ systems, combined with the Padé approximants method, to determine the magnetic phase diagrams (T_N versus dilution x) in the range 0≤x≤1. The obtained theoretical results are in agreement with experimental data obtained by magnetic measurements. The critical exponents associated with the magnetic susceptibility γ and the correlation lengths ν are deduced.     

Pressure-induced phase transition of wulfenite

The in-situ high-pressure structures of wulfenite have been investigated by means of angular dispersive X-ray diffraction with diamond anvil cell and synchrotron radiation. In the pressure up to 22.9 GPa, a pressure-induced scheelite-to-fergusonite transition is observed at about 10.6 GPa. The pressure dependence for the lattice parameters of wulfenite is reported, and the axial compression coefficients Ka₀=－1.36×10^－3 GPa^－1 and Kc₀= －2.78×10^－3 GPa^－1 are given. The room-temperature isothermal bulk modulus is also obtained by fitting the P-V data using the Murnaghan equation of state.     

Effect of tensor force on the density dependence of symmetryenergy within the BHF framework

The effect of tensor force on the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy has been investigated within the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) approach. It is shown that the tensor force manifests its effect via the tensor ³SD₁ channel. The density dependence of symmetry energy E_sym turns out to be determined essentially by the tensor force from the π meson and ρ meson exchanges via the ³SD₁ coupled channel. Increasing the strength of the tensor component due to the ρ-meson exchange tends to enhance the repulsion of the equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter and leads to the reduction of symmetry energy. The present results confirm the dominant role played by the tensor force in determining nuclear symmetry energy and its density dependence within the microscopic BHF framework.     

Centrality dependence of pT spectra for identified hadrons in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √sNN= 200GeV

The centrality dependence of transverse momentum spectra for identified hadrons at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at √s_NN= 200GeV is systematically studied in a quark combination model. The p_T spectra of π^±, K^±, p(p) and Λ(Λ) in different centrality bins and the nuclear modification factors (R_CP) for these hadrons are calculated. The centrality dependence of the average collective transverse velocity 〈β(r)〉 for the hot and dense quark matter is obtained in Au+Au collisions, and it is applied to a relative smaller Cu+Cu collision system. The centrality dependence of p_T spectra and the R_CP for π⁰, K_s⁰ and Λ in Cu+Cu collisions at √s_NN= 200GeV are well described. The results show that 〈β(r)〉 is only a function of the number of participants N_part and it is independent of the collision system.     

O(α_sv~2) correction to J/ψ plus η_c production in e~+e~- annihilation at √s=10.6 GeV

Based on the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach, O(α_sv2) corrections to J/ψ plus η_c production in m e⁺e^- annihilation at √s=10.6 ≥v are calculated in this work. The numerical results show that the correction at α_sv2 order is only about a few percent of the total theoretical result. This indicates that the perturbative expansions become convergent and that a higher order correction will be smaller. The uncertainties from the long-distance matrix elements, renormalization scale and the measurement in the experiment are also discussed. Our result is in agreement with the previous result by Jia.     

Structural and Thermodynamic Properties of Cerium via First-Principles Plane Wave Method with a Relativistic Analytic Pseudopotential

We investigate the structural and thermodynamic properties of cerium in α phase by using the first-principles plane wave method with a relativistic analytic pseudopotential of Hartwigsen, Goedcker and Hutter (HGH) scheme in the frame of local density approximation (LDA). The obtained lattice constant and bulk modulus are consistent with the available experimental data. Moreover, dependences of the normalized primitive volume V/V₀ on pressure and the thermodynamic quantities (including the Grüneisen constant γ and thermal expansion α) on temperature and pressure are obtained. The obtained linear thermal expansion parameter α (9.857× 10^-6K^-1 at 293.15K and 0GPa) is slightly larger than the experimental value (6.3×10^-6K^-1). All the results indicate that we provide an effective method to deal with the ground properties of the strongly interacting d- and/or f-electron systems.     

The study of B→K()l+l- decays in family non-universal Z' models

In a combined investigation of B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decays, constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal Z' models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decay can be explained by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients C₉^eff and C₁₀. With the obtained constraints, we also calculate the branching ratio of the B_s→μ⁺μ^- decay. The upper bound of our prediction is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the upper bound given by the CDF Collaboration recently.

THERMALLY ACTIVATED HOPPING IN Dy1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-δ SYSTEM

The temperature dependence of resistivity in Dy_1-xPr_xBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ system with x>0.6 was measured. The experimental results show that Pr substitution leads to the localization of mobile holes and such a localization is enhanced with increasing Pr concentration. The gradually enhancing of localization induces Anderson transitions one by one in this system, including the transition from the conduction by excitation of holes to the one by thermal activation hopping between localized states, the so called Anderson transition type-I, and the transition from nearest neighbor hopping (NNH) to variable range hopping (VRH), the Anderson transition type-II, and the Anderson transition type-lI from 3D to 2D.     

Intermittent type fluctuation of target fragments produced in 16O-AgBr interactions at 4.5 AGeV/c

A study of intermittency of target associated fragments produced in the interactions of ¹⁶O-AgBr at 4.5 AGeV/c with nuclear emulsion using the method of factorial moments, F_q, has been performed. The dependence of the moments on the number of bins M is found to follow a power law behavior for the experimental data in terms of new scaled variable χ(z) suggested by Bialas and Gazdzicki. The anomalous dimensions, d_q, increase linearly with the order of moments, q. This observation indicates the association of multifractility with production mechanism of target associated fragments.     

D+ → η(')l+νl semileptonic decays in light-cone sum rules

We calculate the D → η transition form factor in light-cone sum rules by taking improved current correlators to avoid the pollution from the twist-3 wave function. We get consistent results of the D⁺ → η^(')l⁺ν_l decays with the experimental data. By comparing the difference between the results of the branching ratios of D⁺ → η^(')l⁺ν_l from a two-pole parameterization model and from a BZ parameterization model, we find that the two-pole model and the BZ model are comparably believable. One way is supposed for the determination of the η-η' mixing angle from the dependence of the branching ratios of D⁺ → η^(')l⁺ν_l decays on the η-η' mixing angle.     

Core Polarization and Tensor Coupling Effects on Magnetic Moments of Hypernuclei

Effects of core polarization and tensor coupling on the magnetic moments in ¹³_ΛC, ¹⁷_Λ, and ⁴¹_ΛCa Λ-hypernuclei are studied by employing the Dirac equation with scalar, vector and tensor potentials. It is found that the effect of core polarization on the magnetic moments is suppressed by Λ tensor coupling. The Λ tensor potential reduces the spin--orbit splitting of p_Λ states considerably. However, almost the same magnetic moments are obtained using the hyperon wavefunction obtained via the Dirac equation either with or without the Λ tensor potential in the electromagnetic current vertex. The deviations of magnetic moments for p_Λ states from the Schmidt values are found to increase with nuclear mass number.
