Si含量对高锰硅化合物相组成及热电性能的影响研究

采用高频感应熔融、退火结合放电等离子烧结方法制备高锰硅(HMS)化合物MnSi1.70+x(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.15),系统研究了Si含量变化对材料相组成、微结构和热电性能的影响规律.结果表明,当x0.1时,样品由HMS和贫Si的MnSi金属相两相组成,随着Si含量x的增加,MnSi相相对含量减小;当x=0.1时,所得样品为单相HMS化合物;当x0.1时,样品由HMS和过量Si两相组成.随着x的增加,由于样品中高电导的金属相MnSi含量逐渐减少,样品的电导率逐渐下降,而Seebeck系数随之增加.室温下样品载流子浓度和有效质量随x增大逐渐减小,而迁移率逐渐增加.MnSi和Si杂相与HMS相比均为高热导相,因此当x=0.1时,由于样品为单相HMS,从而表现出最低热导率和最高ZT值.MnSi1.80样品在800K时热导率最小值达到2.25W·m-1K-1,并在850K处获得最大ZT值(0.45).     

Regulation of glutamatergic signalling by PACAP in the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus

Background  

Previous studies indicate that light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells that contain both glutamate and pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating peptide (PACAP). While the role of glutamate in this pathway has been well studied, the involvement of PACAP and its receptors are only beginning to be understood. Speculating that PACAP may function to modulate how neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus respond to glutamate, we used electrophysiological and calcium imaging tools to examine possible cellular interactions between these co-transmitters.     

Spin-dependent Andreev reflection in a three-terminal Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with coherent indirect coupling

Within the framework of non-equilibrium Green’s functions, we investigate the spin-dependent Andreev reflection (AR) in a three-terminal Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with double quantum dot, taking account of the coherent indirect coupling via the superconducting reservoir. It is found that the time-reversal symmetry is broken by the crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) process, and moreover that the spin-value effect of the linear conductance, the spin-polarised AR current, and a pure spin current can be generated by means of the normal AR and the CAR. Expressions for the AR conductances (the transport coefficients) governing the AR properties of this system are derived analytically. The effect of the coherent indirect coupling on the conductance, the Andreev reflected tunneling magnetoresistance (ARTMR), and the spin-related current in the presence of the AR are amply analyzed. Our results indicate that the optimal properties of this system can be realised by tuning the external parameters.     

激光陀螺锁区特性的研究

从理论和试验两个方面,研究了四边形腔环行激光陀螺的锁区特性.利用环行腔中背向散射光束具有相干性,导出了环行谐振腔综合背向散射与反射镜、反射镜之间的相对位置的关系.在有两个位移反射镜的四边形谐振腔中,理论上得到了综合背向散射系数与谐振腔腔长具有双波长周期.利用综合背向光强实验及锁区与陀螺工作模数实验分别验证了理论的正确性.试验证实散射光的强度与谐振腔的工作模数存在双模周期性,综合背向散射系数大,陀螺锁区大,反之亦然.

New device architecture of a thermoelectric energy conversion for recovering low-quality heat

Low-quality heat is generally discarded for economic reasons; a low-cost energy conversion device considering price per watt, $/W, is required to recover this waste heat. Thin-film based thermoelectric devices could be a superior alternative for this purpose, based on their low material consumption; however, power generated in conventional thermoelectric device architecture is negligible due to the small temperature drop across the thin film. To overcome this challenge, we propose new device architecture, and demonstrate approximately 60 Kelvin temperature differences using a thick polymer nanocomposite. The temperature differences were achieved by separating the thermal path from the electrical path; whereas in conventional device architecture, both electrical charges and thermal energy share same path. We also applied this device to harvest body heat and confirmed its usability as an energy conversion device for recovering low-quality heat.     

Local chemical distribution and electronic structure of Ge1−xTx DMS single crystals (T=Cr,Mn, Fe)

The spatial concentration distribution and local electronic structure of ferromagnetic Ge_1−xT_x (T=Cr, Mn, Fe) DMS single crystals have been investigated by using scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and photoemission spectroscopy (PES). It is found that doped T ions in Ge_1−xT_x crystals are chemically phase-separated, suggesting that the observed ferromagnetism arises from the phase-separated T-rich phases in Ge_1−xT_x.

Exchange coupled magnetic nanocomposites of Sm(Co1−xFex)5 / Fe3O4 with core/shell structure

Magnetic nanocomposites of Sm(Co_1−xFe_x)₅/Fe₃O₄ (x≈0.1) with the core/shell type structure were successfully fabricated using a two-step polyol process, where as-prepared SmCo_5(1−x) nanoparticles were used as seeds for the ferrite coating. The core/shell composites are quite stable in air and show a typical hysteric behavior of single component, yielding an enhanced coercivity of 2.2 kOe with a saturated magnetization of 130 emu/g at 5 T. The magnetization data clearly reveal the presence of effective exchange coupling between the hard-magnetic Sm(Co_1−xFe_x)₅ core and soft-magnetic Fe₃O₄ shell, suggestive of a single-phase structure rather than a distinctive two-phase one.
