光学共振增强的表面铯激活银纳米结构光阴极

金属光阴极因其超短脉冲发射和运行寿命长的特性从而具有重要应用价值,但是较高的功函数和较强的电子散射使其需要采用高能量紫外光子激发且光电发射量子效率极低.本文利用Mie散射共振效应增强银纳米颗粒中的局域光学态密度,提升光吸收率和电子的输运效率,并利用激活层降低银的功函数,从而增强光阴极在可见光区的量子效率.采用时域有限差分方法分析银纳米球阵列的光学共振特性,采用磁控溅射和退火工艺在银/氧化锡铟复合衬底上制备银纳米球,紧接着在其表面沉积制备铯激活层,最后在高真空腔体中测试光电发射量子效率.实验结果表明平均粒径150 nm的银纳米球光阴极在425 nm波长的量子效率超过0.35%,为相同激活条件下银薄膜光阴极的12倍,峰值波长与理论计算的Mie共振波长相符合.     

Quantum Thermalization and Vanishing Thermal Entanglement in the Open Jaynes–Cummings Model

The quantum thermalization of the Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium open-system cases is studied, in which the two subsystems, a two-level system and a single-mode bosonic field, are in contact with either two individual heat baths or a common heat bath. It is found that in the individual heat-bath case, the JC model can only be thermalized when either the two heat baths have the same temperature or the coupling of the JC system to one of the two baths is turned off. In the common heat-bath case, the JC system can be thermalized irrespective of the bath temperature and the system–bath coupling strengths. The thermal entanglement in this system is also studied. A counterintuitive phenomenon of vanishing thermal entanglement in the JC system is found and proved.     

注汽油井蒸气汽液比的折射率法测量研究

给油田的油井中注入高温高压蒸气时,从井口到井底连续地查明汽液比对节省能源和提高产出率意义重大。由于干蒸气和水的折射率不同,汽液的比例可以从汽液两相流的折射率响应特性反映出来。研制的测量装置采用蓝宝石作为折射率敏感的探测头,直接对汽液两相流的比例变化产生响应,能够应用于高温高压及狭窄工作空间的输汽环境中。装置在锅炉输汽管道中的实测响应曲线反映了输汽过程中汽液比的真实变化。该装置还在井深800m,井口蒸气温度270℃、压力10Mpa的油田注汽井中进行测量,测得的结果对注汽法采油的井况分析具有一定的作用。     

Effect of thermal treatment on the magnetization processes of nanocrystalline Fe80Ge3Nb10B7 alloys

The dynamic magnetization processes of nanocrystalline Fe₈₀Ge₃Nb₁₀B₇ alloys after annealing at different temperatures are studied through the permeability spectroscopy. Three steps of crystallization are found when amorphous Fe₈₀Ge₃Nb₁₀B₇ alloys are heated from 300to 1200 K. The dominant magnetization process varies with different annealing temperatures. Domain wall bulging is the main magnetization mechanism under weak applied field. When the applied field exceeds pinning field H_p, the depinning-involved domain wall displacement occurs. Different annealing temperature results in different H_p. The lower value of μ′ and high relaxation frequency after heating at 923 and 973 K are due to the strengthened domain wall pinning and the increase of magnetocrystalline anisotropy.     

Properties of a dielectric plate using entangled two-photon states

We theoretically study the properties of a dielectric plate with a modified Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. The fourth-order correlation functions are calculated in two regimes, which are divided depending on the relative size between the thickness of the dielectric plate and the one-photon coherence length. When the thickness of the dielectric plate is less than the one-photon coherence length, a novel modulation behavior of the coincidence rate is observed, which has not been discussed before. If the thickness of the dielectric plate is larger than the one-photon coherence length, coalescence and anti-coalescence are observed. The obtained results highlight the effects of a linear optical element on fourth-order interference.     

Irradiation induced changes in small angle grain boundaries in mosaic Cu thin films

We studied the effect of irradiation on small angle grain boundaries in mosaic structured Cu thin films. The films showed a decrease in mosaic spread via a narrowing of the full width at half maximum in XRD rocking curves and a smaller minimum yield of RBS channeling after irradiation. These data indicate the irradiation decreased the misorientation angles between mosaic blocks separated by small angle grain boundaries. Mechanisms involving interactions between grain boundary dislocations and irradiation induced defects are discussed.

Effects of Ti content on the optical and structural properties of the Ti-doped ZnO nanoparticles

This study investigates the effect of Ti content on the optical and structural properties of the Ti-doped ZnO (Ti_xZn_1?xO) nanoparticles by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence and Raman scattering measurements. A dependence of luminescent properties and crystal structure upon Ti content has been found. The band-edge-luminescence (BEL) intensity of Ti_0.10Zn_0.90O at room temperature was nearly 1.7 times higher than that of ZnO. The enhanced BEL intensity is attributed to a decrease in the oxygen-vacancy density. However, the lower BEL intensity of Ti_0.15Zn_0.85O than Ti_0.10Zn_0.90O is attributed to an increase in the probability of nonradiative recombination. In addition, the intensity of the x-ray diffraction peaks remarkably decreases with increasing Ti content, suggesting weakened crystallinity.
