Large tunable Rashba spin splitting of a two-dimensional electron gas in Bi2Se3

We report a Rashba spin splitting of a two-dimensional electron gas in the topological insulator Bi(2)Se(3) from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We further demonstrate its electrostatic control, and show that spin splittings can be achieved which are at least an order-of-magnitude larger than in other semiconductors. Together these results show promise for the miniaturization of spintronic devices to the nanoscale and their operation at room temperature.     

Phase Transition Behavior of LiCr 0.35 Mn0.65O2 under High Pressure by Electrical Conductivity Measurement

The electrical conductivity of powdered LiCr 0.35 Mn0.65O2 is measured under high pressure up to 26.22 GPa in the temperature range 300-413 K by using a diamond anvil cell. It is found that both conductivity and activation enthalpy change discontinuously at 5.36 GPa and 21.66 GPa. In the pressure range 1.10-5.36 GPa, pressure increases the activation enthalpy and reduces the carrier scattering, which finally leads to the conductivity increase. In the pressure ranges 6.32-21.66 GPa and 22.60-26.22 GPa, the activation enthalpy decreases with pressure increasing, which has a positive contribution to electrical conductivity increase. Two pressure-induced structural phase transitions are found by in-situ x-ray diffraction under high pressure, which results in the discontinuous changes of conductivity and activation enthalpy.     

偏硼酸钡低温相晶体在高压下的电学性质与相变

 在金刚石压砧装置上，采用电容和电阻测量方法研究了偏硼酸钡低温相晶体（β-BaB₂O₄）在室温下和16 GPa内的电容、电阻与压力的关系。实验结果表明，它的电容在2.1、4.6、6.4、8、9.5、10.7 GPa左右都有一个突变。这说明β-BaB₂O₄内部的结构状态在这些压力下都发生了变化，可能发生了相变。还发现β-BaB₂O₄样品在较高压力下已发生了非晶化转变，而且是不可逆的，在卸压后被保留下来。这个非晶化转变的压力大约在11~12 GPa。     

General Quantum Meet-in-the-Middle Search Algorithm Based on Target Solution of Fixed Weight

Similar to the classical meet-in-the-middle algorithm, the storage and computation complexity are the key factors that decide the efficiency of the quantum meet-in-the-middle algorithm. Aiming at the target vector of fixed weight, based on the quantum meet-in-the-middle algorithm, the algorithm for searching all n-product vectors with the same weight is presented, whose complexity is better than the exhaustive search algorithm. And the algorithm can reduce the storage complexity of the quantum meet-in-the-middle search algorithm. Then based on the algorithm and the knapsack vector of the Chor-Rivest public-key crypto of fixed weight d, we present a general quantum meet-in-the-middle search algorithm based on the target solution of fixed weight, whose computational complexity is ∑_j^d=(0(√C_n-k+1^d-j)+O(C_k^jlogC_k^j)) with ∑_i=0^dC_kⁱ memory cost. And the optimal value of k is given. Compared to the quantum meet-in-the-middle search algorithm for knapsack problem and the quantum algorithm for searching a target solution of fixed weight, the computational complexity of the algorithm is lower. And its storage complexity is smaller than the quantum meet-in-the-middle-algorithm.     

Photonic band gap from periodic structures containing anisotropic nonmagnetic left-handed metamaterial

<正>We demonstrate a photonic band gap(PBG) from one-dimensional(1D) periodic structures created by a double-layer unit cell with an air layer and an anisotropic nonmagnetic left-handed metamaterial(LHM) layer whose permittivity elements are partially negative.The requirements imposed on the materials and structures to realize a PBG are derived when the frequency is above or below the cutoff frequency,and the transmission properties of the PBG are discussed by utilizing 4×4 transfer-matrix method with dispersive semiconductor metamaterial.     

An algorithm for computed tomography image reconstruction from limited-view projections

<正>With the development of the compressive sensing theory,the image reconstruction from the projections viewed in limited angles is one of the hot problems in the research of computed tomography technology.This paper develops an iterative algorithm for image reconstruction,which can fit most cases.This method gives an image reconstruction flow with the difference image vector,which is based on the concept that the difference image vector between the reconstructed and the reference image is sparse enough.Then the l_2-norm minimization method is used to reconstruct the difference vector to recover the image for flat subjects in limited angles.The algorithm has been tested with a thin planar phantom and a real object in limited-view projection data.Moreover,all the studies showed the satisfactory results in accuracy at a rather high reconstruction speed.

GaAs Based InAs/GaSb Superlattice Short Wavelength Infrared Detectors Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

InAs/GaSb superlattice （SL） short wavelength infrared photoconduction detectors are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs（O01） semi-insulating substrates. An interfacal misfit mode AISb quantum dot layer and a thick GaSb layer are grown as buffer layers. The detectors containing a 200-period 2 ML/S ML InAs/GaSb SL active layer are fabricated with a pixel area of 800×800 μm^2 without using passivation or antirefleetion coatings. Corresponding to the 50% cutoff wavelengths of 2.05μm at 77K and 2.25 μm at 300 K, the peak detectivities of the detectors are 4 × 10^9 cm·Hz^1/2/W at 77K and 2 × 10^8 cm·Hz1/2/W at 300K, respectively.     

Effect of an impurity on 3-electron quantum dots in magnetic fields

1 Introduction Quantum dots (QDs), often referred to as artificial atoms, are currently under in-tense study because they provide ideal structures used in optical-electronic microdevices, so they are essential in developing microtechniques. They are also essential in the aca-demic aspect, because rich information on microstructures can be extracted both theo-retically and experimentally. Since the early fabrication of the QDs, external magnetic field has been used to control their propertie…     

Electronic structure of Yb/H－Si (111) interface

Photoemission spectra are measured for Yb covered surface of wet-chemically-etched H－Si (111). The results reveal that the lattice structure of the H－Si (111) surface is stable against the deposition of Yb atoms. X-ray photoemission spectra indicate the formation of a polarized (dipole) surface layer, with the silicon negatively charged. Ultraviolet photoemission spectra exhibit the semiconducting property of the interface below one monolayer coverage. Work function variation during the formation of the Yb/H－Si (111) interface is measured by the secondary-electron cutoff in the ultraviolet photoemission spectral line. The largest decrease of work function is ～1.65eV. The contributions of the dipole surface layer and the band bending to the work function change are determined to be ～1.15eV and ～0.5eV, respectively. The work function of metal Yb is determined to be ～2.80±0.05eV.
