Proprietes magnetiques et electriques de la phase Ca2MnO4−xFx

The magnetic properties of the antiferromagnetic Ca₂MnO_4?x solid solution (0?x?0,30) are essentially characterized by a weak ferromagnetism with a maximum value for x = 0,20. Spin canting results from the competition between the antiferromagnetic super-exchange couplings and the double exchange ferromagnetic interactions due to the presence of manganese in oxidation states + III and + IV. It seems independent of the site of fluorine in the framework. The variation of Weiss constant and ordering temperature withx is also discussed. Electrical conductivity results from a hopping mechanism between Mn³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ ions. The electrical conductivity presents a maximum when x = 0.10, corresponding to an activation energy minimum.     

Search for magnetic fields due to anyons in high-T c superconductors

We have searched for anomalous internal magnetic fields in highT _c materials which are predicted to occur in anyon and flux phase models of superconductivity. The magnitude, anisotropy and temperature dependence of the observed fields inc-axis oriented samples of sintered YBa₂CuO₃O₇ and of thick-film Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ are consistent with a conventional nuclear dipolar origin. An upper limit of ≲0.08 mT is set for any anomalous magnetic fields along thec-axis atμ ⁺ sites in bulk CuO₂ superconductors.     

Reexamination of the I2 spectrum near the B(3Π0u+) state dissociation limit

The disagreement of Danyluk and King's (Chem. Phys.25, 343 (1977)) rotational constants for levels lying near the dissociation limit of B-state I₂ with the mechanical behavior predicted by near-dissociation theory is investigated. The discrepancies are shown to be much too large to be explained by either the neglect of centrifugal distortion effects in the original analysis or by rotational or spin-rotation coupling to a nearby repulsive 1_u state. These differences are therefore attributed to experimental error, a conclusion which is confirmed by more recent experimental results. A reanalysis of the best available data for levels near the dissociation limit of B-state I₂ then yields improved values for the B-state dissociation limit $\text{D}$ = 20 043.16 (±0.02) cm^?1 of the vibrational index at dissociation v_$\text{D}$ = 87.32 (±0.04) and of the long-range potential constant $\text{C}{}_5\text{= 2.88 (±0.03) × 10}{}^5\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{A}\text{?}{}^5$. This in turn implies a slightly improved ground-state dissociation energy of $\text{D}$₀ = 12 440.18 (±0.02) cm^?1.     

Effect of CO on hydrogen adsorption on palladium

Coadsorption of H₂ and CO on Pd has been studied using TDS and ESD techniques. It has been observed that the presence of 10% CO in the H₂ dosing gas during exposure gives rise to a drastic change in the TDS spectra of H₂ compared to the case when only H₂ is separately adsorbed. Furthermore, significant modifications occur in the ESD energy distribution of CO⁺ and H⁺ as a result of coadsorption of H₂ and CO. These observations are taken as evidence of adsorbate interaction possibly resulting in formation of an HCO surface complex.     

微通道板噪声因子与工作电压关系研究

为了解决微通道板噪声因子的测量问题,提出了一种测量像增强器光电阴极灵敏度和信噪比,从而测量出微通道板噪声因子的方法 .根据该方法,分别在不同阴极电压、微通道板电压以及阳极电压条件下测量了微通道板的噪声因子.测量结果表明,当阴极电压、微通道板电压以及阳极电压分别变化时,微通道板的噪声因子会随之变化.微通道板电压对噪声因子的影响最大,阳极电压的影响最小.微通道板电压每增加100 V,噪声因子大约增加0.11,而阳极电压每增加100 V,噪声因子大约增加3.3×10-4.微通道板工作电压提高,意味着电子碰撞能量提高,同时也意味着二次电子发射系数提高,而根据现有微通道板噪声理论,微通道板的噪声因子会减小,但实测结果却相反.造成这一矛盾的原因是在现有微通道板噪声理论中,仅仅考虑了二次电子发射系数、探测率、电子碰撞几率的因数,而未考虑到电子碰撞能量的因数,因此噪声理论需要进行修正.     

The electronic properties and electron transport of sawtooth penta-graphene nanoribbon under uniaxial strain: ab-initio study

ABSTRACT

The electronic properties and electron transport of a sawtooth penta-graphene nanoribbon (SSPGNR) under uniaxial strains are theoretically studied by density-functional theory (DFT) in combination with the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. We investigated the electronic structures and the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the SSPGNRs under a sequence of uniaxial strains in range from 10% compression to 10% stretch. In this strained range, carbon atoms still keep a pentagon network, but with the changing bond lengths. The C–C bond lengths change almost linearly with the tolerable strain. The value of the band gap of SSPGNRs can be depicted as a parabola under uniaxial strain. Our calculations show that the current is monotonous increase with compressive strain at the same applied bias voltage. In case of tensile strain, the variable rule of the current is different that it increases at first and decrease later. The fundamental physical properties (band structure, I–V characteristic) of SSPGNRs seem to be more sensitive to compressive strain than the stretch strain. The current intensity of the compressive-SSPGNR is by 2 orders of magnitude compared to that of the tensile-SSPGNR at the same strain in range from 6% to 10%. The results obtained from our calculations are beneficial to practical applications of these strained structures in SSPGNRs-based electromechanical devices.     

Multi-Scale Analysis of Energy Transfer in Scalar Turbulence

The energy transfer of homogeneous scalar turbulence is studied numerically by triad interaction in spectral space. The different transfer properties between turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent scalar energy reveal that non-local energy transfer exists as important as the local energy transfer in scalar turbulence. The non-local energy transfer of scalar turbulence results from non-local triad interaction. As a result there will be longer inertiaconvective range in scalar turbulence than the inertial subrange in turbulent kinetic transfer at Reλ = Peλ. The non-local transfer of turbulent scalar energy generates more energy transfer into dissipation range. The discovery of non-local transfer of turbulent scalar energy indicates that this phenomenon should be concerned carefully in numerical scheme and subgrid modelling of direct numerical simulation or large eddy simulation scalar turbulence.
