高压下β-InSe弹性常数、电子结构的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,本文研究了高压对β-InSe弹性常数、机械性能和电子结构的影响.在0～20 GPa范围内,随着压力的增大,β-InSe的晶格常数、晶胞体积逐渐减小,结构参数a/a_0、c/c_0、V/V_0单调减小.在0～12 GPa范围内,弹性模量G、E、B和泊松比v随着压力增大而增大,在16 GPa时大幅减小,G、E、B分别减小了34.9%、53.3%、82.9%.随着压力增大,Se-In和In-In原子之间的电荷密度增大,Se-In原子之间的共价键增强,层间距减小.而且,β-InSe在20 GPa时带隙消失,发生了半导体向半金属的相变.     

Ce掺杂6H-SiC电子结构和光学性质的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,对未掺杂及Ce掺杂6H-SiC的电子结构和光学性质进行理论计算.计算结果表明,未掺杂6H-SiC是间接带隙半导体,其禁带宽度为2.045 eV,掺杂Ce元素,带隙宽度下降为0.812 eV.未掺杂6H-SiC在价带的低能区,Si-3s、C-2s电子轨道对态密度的贡献较大,在价带的高能区,主要是由Si-3p、Si-3s、C-2p态组成.掺杂后Ce原子的4f轨道主要贡献在导带部分,掺杂后电导率提高.未掺杂时,只有一个介电峰,是价带电子跃迁到导带电子所致,掺杂后有两个介电峰,第一个介电峰是由于导带电子跃迁到Ce原子4f轨道上产生,第二个峰是价带电子向导带电子跃迁产生.未掺杂6H-SiC,在能量为10.31 eV处吸收系数达到最大值,掺杂后在能量为6.57 eV处,吸收系数达到最大值.     

新型稀磁半导体Fe掺杂LiZnP的光电性质

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算法研究了新型稀磁半导体Li_(1±)_y(Zn_(1-)_xFe_x)P (x=0, 0.0625;y=0, 0.0625)的电子结构、磁性及光学性质.结果表明,Fe的掺入使体系产生自旋极化杂质带,Fe的3d态与Li2s态,Zn4s态以及P3p态的态密度峰在费米能级处出现重叠,产生sp-d轨道杂化,此时体系净磁矩最大,材料表现出金属性,导电性增强.当Li空位时,导电性减弱,但杂质带宽度最大,居里温度最高.而Li填隙时,体系形成能最低,材料变为半金属性,表现为100%自旋注入,表明掺杂体系的磁性和电性可以分别通过Fe的掺入和Li的含量进行调控.对比光学性质发现,Li空位时,在介电函数虚部和复折射率函数的低能区出现新峰,扩大了对低频电磁波的吸收范围.能量损失函数表明掺杂体系具有明显的蓝移效应,且Li填隙时有更强的等离子共振频率.     

Mn2+、N2-共掺杂Zn2GeO4晶体电子结构和光学性质的研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波超软赝势方法对本征Zn2GeO4,Mn2+掺杂Zn2GeO4,Mn2+/N2-共掺杂Zn2GeO4超晶胞进行了几何结构优化,计算了掺杂前后体系的晶格常数、能带结构、态密度和光学性质。结果表明,Mn离子掺入后,Mn离子3d轨道与O离子2p轨道之间有强烈的轨道杂化效应,掺杂系统不稳定,而Mn/N离子共掺后,Mn离子和N离子之间的吸引作用克服了Mn离子之间的排斥作用,能够明显地提高掺杂浓度和体系的稳定性。光学性质计算结果表明,Mn离子与N离子共掺杂能改善Zn2GeO4电子在低能区的光学跃迁特性,增强电子在可见光区的光学跃迁;吸收谱计算结果显示,Mn离子与N离子掺入后体系对低频电磁波吸收增加。

本文描述了一种应用于自由电子激光结合高里德堡态氢原子飞行时间谱装置中的分光方法,以及该方法应用于小分子(如₂S)光解动力学研究中的必要性. 拉曼-α辐射(121.6 nm),用作H原子产物探测的激光,是在Kr/Ar气介质中利用四波混频产生的. 利用透镜对不同波长的光有不同的折射率,四波混频后的混合光在经过一片离轴的氟化锂透镜后,121.6 nm的激光将会与212.6和845 nm在空间上分开. 在激光到达反应中心前利用挡板挡住212.6和845 nm的激光,只让121.6 nm的光经过反应中心,从而消除212.6 nm激光产生的背景信号对实验的干扰. 结合自由电子激光,成功地研究了H₂S在122.95 nm波长下的光解动力学,采集到了产物时间飞行谱. 本文展示了转换得到的产物总平动能谱,解离机理与121.6 nm波长下的结果相似. 实验结果显示,该方法成功地解决了分子在VUV波段进行光解动力学研究的难题,消除了这些分子在紫外光波段因为强烈吸收而产生的背景信号.     

Microstructure and Thermal and Tensile Properties of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanocomposite Films Reinforced by Polyacrylamide Grafted Cellulose Nanocrystals

Abstract

Polyacrylamide grafted cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-g-PAM) were incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by a solution casting method to fabricate nanocomposite films with enhanced thermal and tensile properties. The microstructure and the thermal and tensile properties of the PVA/CNC-g-PAM nanocomposite films were investigated as a function of CNC-g-PAM content. Infrared spectroscopy corroborated the presence of hydrogen bonds between PVA and the PAM on the surface of the CNC. Polarized optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed good dispersion of the CNC-g-PAM in the PVA matrix and good interfacial compatibility. Accordingly, the initial degradation temperature of the nanocomposite films was elevated slightly compared to pristine PVA film. The glass transition temperature, melting temperature, and crystallinity of the PVA also varied slightly after the incorporation of the CNC-g-PAM. At both 0% and 50% RH, the nanocomposite films showed an obvious increase of elastic modulus, no apparent change of breaking strength and a drastic reduction of elongation at break with increasing CNC-g-PAM content.     

An investigation of paddle wheel Cu2(μ2-O2CCH3)4 for gas molecule adsorptions

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been well-known and extensively researched due to the high storage /good selectivity for gas molecules. Herein, the structures and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra for dicopper paddle wheel MOF compound (Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄ with various gas molecule are theoretically investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption energies and isotherms (including pure gas molecules and the mixed ones) are calculated for the gas molecules interacting with the unsaturated Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄. Both quantities exhibit the roughly consistent orders (e.g. H₂S?>?NH₃?>?CO₂?>?CO?>?H₂O?>?N₂?>?NO?>?H₂ for isotherms and H₂S?>?NH₃?>?N₂?>?CO₂?>?NO?>?H₂O?>?H₂?>?CO for adsorption energies), possibly suggesting that this material may act as a potential adsorbent of these gas molecules. The catalytic property of Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄ for oxidation of CO and NO into non-toxic molecules and splitting of H₂O into H₂ and O₂ in the solvent condition are uniformly discussed. Simulation of Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) in MS 8.0 and calculations in Langmuir model reveal that Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄ has good selectivity for CH₄ in natural gas (CH₄/CO₂/N₂) and SO₂ in fog (SO₂/NO/NO₂/H₂O/O₂), which would exhibit potential environmentally friendly applications.     

Essay on gravitation: Present-time variation of Newton's gravitational constant in superstring theories

Superstring theories provide an appropriate framework for studying the time variation of fundamental coupling constants. The present time variation of coupling constants in Superstring theories with currently favorable internal backgrounds critically depends on the shape of the potential for the size of internal space. If the potential is almost flat, as in perturbation theory to all orders, the present value of ¦/G¦ for Newton's gravitational constant is calculable and estimated to be 1×10^–11±1yr^–1, which is just at the edge of the present observational bound for/G. If the potential has a minimum with finite curvature due to unknown nonperturbative effects,/G will become unobservably small. The improvement of the measurement of/G of 1 or 2 orders of magnitude would discriminate between the two situations. Problems with the time variation of other coupling constants are also discussed.This essay received the fourth award from the Gravity Research Foundation for the year 1987-Ed.     

高温高压下CeTbO3合成过程中电阻的动态测试研究

 在0.5 GPa、4.0 GPa的压力下，从室温到800 ℃的温度范围内测量了氧化物CeTbO₃、单稀土氧化物Tb₄O₇、CeO₂和摩尔比维4∶1配比的混合物CeO₂+Tb₄O₇等的电阻随温度变化关系。对这四种物质均反映出电阻随温度增加而减小的半导体特征。在压力维0.5 GPa，温度高于600 ℃时发现了混合物CeO₂+Tb₄O₇、氧化物Tb₄O₇中电阻变化的起伏。X射线衍射谱表明，对应这一电阻变化，在结构上出现了变化。结果分析表明，这一变化与Tb⁴⁺→Tb³⁺的价态变化密切相联。
