Real Hypersurfaces in Complex Two-plane Grassmannians with {\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}}-Parallel Shape Operator

In this paper we consider a new notion of ${\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}}$ -parallel shape operator for real hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians ${G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})}$ and give a non-existence theorem for a Hopf hypersurface in ${G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})}$ with ${\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}}$ -parallel shape operator.     

A molecular dynamics method for simulations in the canonical ensemble

A molecular dynamics simulation method which can generate configurations belonging to the canonical (T, V, N) ensemble or the constant temperature constant pressure (T, P, N) ensemble, is proposed. The physical system of interest consists of N particles (f degrees of freedom), to which an external, macroscopic variable and its conjugate momentum are added. This device allows the total energy of the physical system to fluctuate. The equilibrium distribution of the energy coincides with the canonical distribution both in momentum and in coordinate space. The method is tested for an atomic fluid (Ar) and works well.     

Hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in complex hyperbolic two-plane Grassmannians

We classify the real hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in complex hyperbolic two-plane Grassmannians _SU2,m/S(_U2⋅_Um)${\mathit{SU}}_{2,m}/S(U_2\cdot U_m)$, m?2$m?2$. Each can be described as a tube over a totally geodesic _SU2,m−1/S(_U2⋅_Um−1)${\mathit{SU}}_{2,m-1}/S(U_2\cdot U_{m-1})$ in _SU2,m/S(_U2⋅_Um)${\mathit{SU}}_{2,m}/S(U_2\cdot U_m)$ or a horosphere whose center at infinity is singular.

Photocurrent measurements on GaAs1−xNx epilayers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

GaAs_1−xN_x epilayers were grown on a GaAs(0 0 1) substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Composition was determined by high resolution X-ray diffraction. Band gap was measured from 77 to 400 K by using photocurrent measurements. The photocurrent spectra show clear near-band-edge peak and their peak energies drastically decrease with increasing nitrogen composition due to band gap bowing in the GaAs_1−xN_x epilayers. Those red shifts were particularly notable for low nitrogen compositions. However, the shifts tended to saturate when the nitrogen composition become higher than 0.98%. When the nitrogen composition is in the range 1.68–3.11%, the measured temperature dependence of the energy band gap was nicely fitted. However, the properties for the nitrogen composition range 0.31–0.98% could not be fitted with a single fitting model. This result indicates that the bowing parameter reaches 25.39 eV for low nitrogen incorporation (x=0.31%), and decreases with increasing nitrogen composition.     

The tri-methyl-Sb flow and the surfactant time effect on InGaAsN/GaAs-strained MQWs grown by MOCVD

The tri-methyl-Sb flow and the surfactant time dependence of photocurrent (PC) spectra was studied on InGaAsN/GaAs-strained multiple quantum wells (MQWs) structures grown by using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The structural properties of InGaAsN/GaAs-strained MQWs were investigated by using high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). In the case of InGaAsN/GaAs-strained MQWs, an increase in compressive strain from an analysis of the satellite peaks in HRXRD was observed on increasing the tri-methyl-Sb flow and the surfactant time. For InGaAsN/GaAs-strained MQWs, the peaks observed in the photocurrent spectra were preliminarily assigned to electron–heavy hole (e₁–hh) and electron–light hole (e₁–lh) fundamental excitonic transitions. Their peaks are red-shifted with increasing tri-methyl-Sb flow and surfactant time. But the photocurrent peak is blue-shifted at the surfactant time of . It seems to be due to the improvement of structure properties at interface owing to a surfactant-suppressing surface diffusion phenomenon during growth. We compared this with the result of the experimental energies for InGaAsN/GaAs-strained MQWs.     

Crystal structure of a macrocyclic tetraamine isocyanato zinc(II) complex

The complex, [Zn(L)(NCO)]Cl · 3H₂O (1) (L = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n with a = 10.530(3), b = 9.315(2), c = 27.188(3) Å, = 92.58(1)°, V = 2664.1(9)ų, and Z = 4. The zinc atom is in a distorted squarepyramidal environment with the four nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle and one nitrogen atom of the isocyanate ligand.
