Polarization manipulation of bright-dark vector bisolitons

We simulate the polarization manipulation of bright-dark vector bisolitons at 1-μm wavelength regime.Through changing the pulse parameters,different kinds of pulse shapes and optical spectra are generated in output orthogonal polarization directions.When the input vector bisoliton is polarization-locked with 1064 nm central wavelength,“1+1”fundamental dark-dark and“2+1”pseudo-high-order bright-dark group-velocity-locked vector solitons can be achieved through changing the projection angle.When the input vector bisoliton is group-velocity-locked with 1063 nm and 1065 nm central wavelengths,“2+1”and“2+2”pseudo-high-order bright-dark group-velocity-locked vector solitons,bright-dark group-velocity-locked vector solitons with chirp-like temporal oscillations are generated.Our simulation results can provide beneficial conduct for polarization manipulation of vector multi-solitons,and have promising applications in quantum information register,optical communications,nanophotonics,and all-optical switching.     

Universality of entropy principle for a general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory

Thermodynamics plays an important role in gravitational theories. It is a principle that is independent of gravitational dynamics, and there is still no rigorous proof to show that it is consistent with the dynamical principle. We consider a self-gravitating perfect fluid system with the general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory. Based on the Noether charge method proposed by Iyer and Wald, considering static off/on-shell variational configurations, which satisfy the gravitational constraint equation, we rigorously prove that the extrema of the total entropy of a perfect fluid inside a compact region for a fixed total particle number demands that the static configuration is an on-shell solution after we introduce some appropriate boundary conditions, i.e., it also satisfies the spatial gravitational equations. This means that the entropy principle of the fluid stores the same information as the gravitational equation in a static configuration. Our proof is universal and holds for any diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theories, such as Einstein gravity, \begin{document}$ f(R)$\end{document} gravity, Lovelock gravity, f(Gauss-Bonnet) gravity and Einstein-Weyl gravity. Our result indicates the consistency between ordinary thermodynamics and gravitational dynamics.     

GW/BSE级别下的非绝热动力学模拟揭示桥连化学键对调控酞菁锌-富勒烯给体-受体复合物激发态弛豫过程的重要作用

本文采用基于多体格林函数方法和Bethe-Salpeter方程(GW/BSE)的电子结构计算方法和非绝热动力学模拟研究了两种不同桥连化学键构型(5-6构型和6-6构型)的酞菁锌-富勒烯(ZnPc-C₆₀)给受体复合物的激发态性质及其弛豫过程. 对于6-6构型,ZnPc-C₆₀的最低激发态S₁态为光谱明态,即ZnPc的局域激发(LE)态,因此,6-6构型的ZnPc-C₆₀在光激发之后几乎不会发生电荷分离过程. 相比之下,5-6构型的ZnPc-C₆₀的S₁态是C₆₀的LE态,为光谱暗态,而作为光谱明态的ZnPc的LE态的能量更高. 而且,在ZnPc和C₆₀的LE态之间还存在若干电荷转移(CT)态. 因此,电荷转移会在从高能的ZnPc的LE态到低能的C₆₀的LE态的弛豫过程中发生. GW/BSE级别的非绝热动力学模拟结果进一步验证了电子结构计算的结论,并给出了相关过程的时间尺度：从ZnPc到C₆₀的超快激发态能量转移过程在前200 fs完成;随后发生的是由C₆₀到ZnPc的超快空穴转移过程. 本工作表明不同的桥连化学键模式(即5-6和6-6构型)可用于调节ZnPc-C₆₀给体-受体复合物的激发态性质及其光电性质. 与此同时,本工作证明了GW/BSE级别的非绝热动力学方法是探索非周期性给体-受体复合物、有机金属配合物、量子点、纳米团簇等复杂体系的光诱导动力学的可靠工具.

Uniformity analysis of temperature distribution in an industrial MOCVD reactor

Three‐dimensional models, coupling fluid flow and heat transfer, have been adopted to analyze influences of the process parameters on the temperature uniformity in an industrial MOCVD reactor. Important factors, such as the inlet gas flow, the susceptor rotation, the heater power, the distance between the heat shield and the susceptor (d₁), as well as the distance between the heater and the susceptor (d₂), have been investigated carefully. The system heating condition is characterized by temperature uniformity denoted as the standard deviation of temperature, and by thermal efficiency expressed as a combination parameter of the dissipated energy. The results reveal that decrease of the gas flow and the rotation rate, as well as increase of the distance d₁, could monotonically enhance the temperature uniformity. The results also show that decrease of the above three parameters could improve the thermal efficiency. Furthermore, increase of the distance d₂ enhances the temperature uniformity, and reduces the thermal efficiency slightly. The influences of the parameters on the uniformity vary at the different locations of the susceptor as divided into Zone A, Zone B and Zone C. The conclusions help the growth engineer optimize the system design and process conditions of the reactor.     

Uniformity investigation of MOCVD‐grown LED layers

Doped or undoped gallium nitride compounds (GaN/InGaN), usually grown by metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method, are at the heart of blue and green light emitting diodes (LEDs). Growth uniformities, such as the excited wavelength, luminous intensity and film thickness, critically influence their application in LED devices. In this paper, growth of GaN compounds in a MOCVD reactor, capable of a one‐time production of 36 × 2” wafers of nitrides, has been investigated. To examine growth uniformity across the wafer and from wafer to wafer, the reactor is divided into Zone A, Zone B and Zone C according to distance to the center of the graphite susceptor. Comparative analysis of each zone offers a straightforward view of the mean excitation wavelength, luminous intensity, film thickness and their standard deviations. Conformity of the growth uniformity in each zone is further checked comprehensively through averaging across‐wafer and wafer‐to‐wafer variables and their standard deviations. Zone B is found to retain excellent wavelength uniformity, since it is located at the middle of the susceptor with weaker effects of the susceptor edge and of the inlet gas flow. Zone A, at the center of the reactor, has the best mean intensity and thickness uniformities due to a well control of the infrared temperature measurement during the growth. And Zone C is worst in all uniformities and should be the main focus when optimizing the reactor. The above experimental analysis reveals the principles common to the MOCVD technique, and provides a basic for further optimization of the process window to improve the cycles with considerable reduction of the costs.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Properties of Nonlinear Optical Crystal Na2SiF6

Nonlinear optical crystals of fluosilicate Na₂SiF₆ are synthesized via hydrothermal method and its structure is determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The space group of Na₂SiF₆ is P321 with cell parameters a = 8.8715(3) Å, c = 5.0484(5) Å, Z = 3, V = 344.09(4) ų. The properties of the crystal are measured by powder XRD, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) near‐infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The bandgap calculated using CASTEP is 7.41 eV, indicating that the cut‐off edge of the Na₂SiF₆ crystal can be down to deep‐UV energy region. The first‐principles studies were performed to elucidate the structure/property relationship of Na₂SiF₆.     

A Practical High-Energy Cathode for Sodium-Ion Batteries Based on Uniform P2-Na0.7CoO2 Microspheres

Layered metal oxides have attracted increasing attention as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the application of such cathode materials is still hindered by their poor rate capability and cycling stability. Here, a facile self-templated strategy is developed to synthesize uniform P2-Na_0.7CoO₂ microspheres. Due to the unique microsphere structure, the contact area of the active material with electrolyte is minimized. As expected, the P2-Na_0.7CoO₂ microspheres exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance for sodium storage in terms of high reversible capacity (125 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 mA g⁻¹), superior rate capability and long cycle life (86 % capacity retention over 300 cycles). Importantly, the synthesis method can be easily extended to synthesize other layered metal oxide (P2-Na_0.7MnO₂ and O3-NaFeO₂) microspheres.
