Giant magnetocurrent in triple-barrier ferromagnetic resonant-tunneling diode with different magnetization configurations

The authors theoretically investigate a triple-barrier ferromagnetic resonant-tunneling diode composing nonmagnetic couple wells and three GaMnN magnetic barriers, in which two kinds of antiparallel configurations are formed by changing the relative orientation of magnetization in the barriers. Based on a two-band model, the achievement of large magnetocurrents in the resonant bias regime is proposed under an optimal magnetization configuration. The magnetocurrents in both antiparallel configurations of triple-barrier system are much higher than that in double-barrier structure.     

A new subdivision method for grating-based displacement sensor using imaging array

A new subdivision method for grating-based displacement sensor was proposed in the present study, which takes advantages of imaging array's high resolution and pixels’ good uniformity in the space. In this method, the magnified grating image is received by imaging array and grating pitch is directly subdivided by pixels, which is quite different from that moiré fringe is subdivided by complex subsequent circuits in moiré-type displacement sensor. The displacement is statistically calculated by using the whole grating image, which greatly eliminates the errors arising from illumination, electrical signals’ fluctuation, grating defect, and so on. Therefore, the subdivision method is easy to obtain signal with high signal-to-noise ratio, insensitive to some external factors, and able to attain high measurement precision with low cost. In this paper, the principle of subdivision method was illuminated, the systemic resolution was theoretically discussed, the measurement precision was experimentally checked, and the uncertainty of measurement was analyzed. The subdivision system consisted of the grating with 20-μm pitch and the CMOS image sensor with the pixels of 1280×1024 had the resolution of 0.04 μm, and the maximum displacement error was less than 0.4 μm, which has been tested in the Abbe comparator platform.     

Time-resolved measurement of atomic emission enhancement by fs--ns dual-pulsed laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Time-resolved measurement of atomic emission enhancement is performed by using a 500-fs KrF laser pulse incident upon a high density supersonic O_{2} gas jet, synchronized with an orthogonal ns frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser pulse. The ultra-short pulse serves as an igniter of the gas jet, and the subsequent ns-laser pulse significantly enhances the atomic emission. Analysis shows that the contributions to the enhancement effect are made mainly by the bremsstrahlung radiation and cascade ionization.     

金溶胶中邻羟基苯甲酸吸附行为的密度泛函理论与实验研究

研究了邻羟基苯甲酸(OHBA)的常规拉曼散射(NRS)光谱以及其吸附在Au纳米颗粒上的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)光谱。以氯金酸为原料,柠檬酸三钠为还原剂,用化学还原法制备了球形的金纳米粒子溶胶,采用激光显微拉曼光谱仪(激发波长为785 nm),测定OHBA分子的NRS光谱及其吸附在Au纳米颗粒上的SERS光谱。同时,应用密度泛函理论(DFT),在B3LYP/6-31+G**(C,H,O)/LANL2DZ(Au)水平上,对OHBA分子进行了结构优化,在此基础上计算了OHBA分子的NRS光谱以及其吸附在Au纳米颗粒上两种不同吸附构型下的SERS光谱,并和实验值进行比较。结果表明,OHBA分子通过羧基吸附构型的计算值比通过羟基吸附构型的计算值与实验值符合的更好。最后,利用GaussView可视化软件对其振动模式进行了全面归属。通过对邻羟基苯甲酸分子拉曼谱峰的详细指认能够得出：Au溶胶中的邻羟基苯甲酸分子,是通过羧基倾斜地吸附在Au纳米颗粒表面的。可视化软件直观形象地展示出了该分子的结构特征和分子基团振动情况,对其振动峰位的归属提供了重要依据。本文工作对推进邻羟基苯甲酸在生物医药等领域进一步的应用具有重要作用。     

小波图像融合在太赫兹无损检测中的应用

玻璃纤维增强复合材料被广泛应用于航天、航空及其他军民各领域,它在制备和使用过程中通常会出现多个缺陷。太赫兹时域光谱成像技术有望成为玻璃纤维增强复合材料无损检测的有力补充手段。在太赫兹时域光谱成像过程中,可以选取时域或频域波形中的不同参数来进行成像。对于不同的缺陷,能够有效地对其进行检测的参数是不一样的。采用基于小波分解的图像融合方法将多幅不同参数获取的太赫兹反射图像结合起来,得到一幅包含所有缺陷信息的新图像。研究表明,基于小波分解的图像融合方法在太赫兹无损检测中的应用,能够获取单一参数成像无法检测的缺陷信息,为复合材料太赫兹图像后期处理提供了新的技术方法。

电场诱导空穴注入缓冲层PEDOT∶PSS取向对OLED发光性能的影响

实验中以PEDOT∶PSS在ITO基片上旋涂作为空穴传输层,并且在旋涂PEDOT∶PSS的过程中在与ITO玻璃平面垂直的方向施加一个诱导聚合物取向的高压电场,试验着重研究了所加电场强度对双层器件:ITO/PEDOT∶PSS/MEH-PPV/Al器件性能的影响。测试结果表明,旋涂时所加电场的大小对器件的发光强度和起亮电压都有明显的影响。随着所加电场的增大,器件发光强度明显增加,起亮电压减小。由此表明:在高电场作用下,聚合物分子链沿电场方向发生了取向,而且随着电场增强这种取向作用会表现得越明显,并且在PEDOT∶PSS膜表层会形成一个梯度变化的PSS聚集,使得从ITO到MEH-PPV的功函数逐渐上升,降低空穴注入势垒,增强了空穴的注入效率。

α-甘氨酸晶体中NH_3~+扭曲振动的变温拉曼光谱研究

1999年,Chilcott研究了α-甘氨酸单晶电阻抗随温度的变化,发现晶体在304 K开始导电。为了了解其导电机理,本文研究90 K到340 K的拉曼光谱,发现在α-甘氨酸单晶中NH3+扭曲振动模式分裂,表现为N-H(6)…O(1)(491 cm-1)和N-H(7)…O(2)(483 cm-1)模式,以及CO2-摇摆模式(503cm-1),在304 K均有不连续性变化,并与变温中子衍射晶体结构层内的氢键N-H(6)…O(1)键角和N-H(7)…O(2)长度出现转折点一致。由于α-甘氨酸晶胞中NH3+和CO2-基团构成的电偶极子在变温下重新定向,出现两性离子电荷重心变化致使晶体极化,引起晶体在304 K左右发生了铁电相变。     

Liquid polyamorphism: Possible relation to the anomalous behaviour of water

We present evidence from experiments and computer simulations supporting the hypothesis that water displays polyamorphism, i.e., water separates into two distinct liquid phases. This concept of a new liquid-liquid phase transition is finding application to other liquids as well as water, such as silicon and silica. Specifically, we investigate, the relation between changes in dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies arising from the presence of the liquid-liquid critical point in (i) Two models of water, TIP5P and ST2, which display a first order liquid-liquid phase transition at low temperatures; (ii) the Jagla model, a spherically symmetric two-scale potential known to possess a liquid-liquid critical point, in which the competition between two liquid structures is generated by repulsive and attractive ramp interactions; and (iii) A Hamiltonian model of water where the idea of two length/energy scales is built in. This model also displays a first order liquid-liquid phase transition at low temperatures besides the first order liquid-gas phase transition at high temperatures. We find a correlation between the dynamic fragility crossover and the locus of specific heat maxima C_P^max (“Widom line”) emanating from the critical point. Our findings are consistent with a possible relation between the previously hypothesised liquid-liquid phase transition and the transition in the dynamics recently observed in neutron scattering experiments on confined water. More generally, we argue that this connection between C_P^max and the dynamic crossover is not limited to the case of water, a hydrogen bonded network liquid, but is a more general feature of crossing the Widom line, an extension of the first-order coexistence line in the supercritical region.
