The effect of oxygen vacancy on the oxide ion mobility in LaAlO3-based oxides

The electrical property of (La_1−xSr_x)_1−z(Al_1−yMg_y)O_3−δ (LSAM; x≤0.3, y≤0.15 and z≤0.1) was measured using the DC four-probe method as a function of temperature (500–1000°C) and oxygen partial pressure (1–10⁻²² atm). Among LSAMs, (La_0.9Sr_0.1)AlO_3−δ showed the highest ionic conductivity, σ_i=1.3×10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at 900°C. A simultaneous substitution at A and B sites or A site deficiency is expected to create larger oxygen vacancy and higher ionic conductivity. However, it showed a negative effect. The effect of the vacancy increase did not effect monotonously the ionic conductivity. It was found that the concentration of oxygen vacancy, [V_O], influences not only the oxide ion conductivity, σ_i, but also the mobility, μ_v, of [V_O]. These properties exhibit a maximum at around [V_O]=0.05. With the increase in [V_O], the activation energy, E_a, of the ionic conduction dropped from 1.8 to ca. 1.0 eV at [V_O]=0.05 and became almost constant at [V_O]>0.05. The dependency of the pre-exponential term, μ⁰_v, and E_a on [V_O] was analyzed and their effect on μ_v and σ_i was discussed with respect to crystal structure and defect association. It was estimated that the crystal structure mainly governs these properties. The effect of defect association could not be ignored but is considered to be a complicated correlation.     

汝阳地区熊耳群火山岩内夹层硅质岩的微区特征及地质意义

熊耳群是前寒武纪火山-沉积作用的产物,其顶部的马家河组(玄武)安山质火山岩内发育了夹层状热水成因硅质岩。选择熊耳群马家河组硅质岩夹层中的碧玉岩为对象,利用偏光显微镜,XRD,Raman和EBSD等方法剖析了其微区特征。研究结果显示：硅质岩内石英颗粒的显微镜和EBSD照片均表现出颗粒细小、结晶程度低和紧密堆积结构等特点,这完全吻合热水沉积硅质岩的特征;硅质岩内粒径不同的颗粒呈条带(或薄层)状交互出现,不同条带(或薄层)内矿物的组成存在明显的差异,这应该反映了原始物质供给的周期性变化;XRD分析结果指示硅质岩内的主要矿物为低温石英,其晶胞参数为a=b=0.491 3 nm,c=0.540 5 nm和Z=3;EBSD照片和Raman分析结果显示硅质岩内微量的杂质矿物形成于不同阶段,其中粘土矿物和黄铁矿呈零星分布并反映了原始沉积成因,长英质矿物和铁镁硅酸盐矿物均来源于火山凝灰质沉积;火山凝灰质矿物的颗粒偏大并构成了硅质岩内的粗颗粒条带(或薄层),它们与热水沉积为主的细颗粒矿物条带(或薄层)交互产出,这反映了火山作用的周期性反复活动;后期的碳酸盐热液沉淀于硅质岩内裂隙中,它们还导致石英颗粒边缘有序度升高。虽然熊耳群硅质岩内的矿物种类和成因均极为复杂,但火山物质的输入是导致熊耳群硅质岩SiO₂含量偏低的根本原因并得到了硅质岩内大量火山成因矿物的证实。在硅质岩的微组构研究中,Raman光谱分析可以有效的揭示微区上矿物的类型、微区结构及有序度,这些特征是反映硅质岩内部矿物形成与演化过程中微区变化的重要信息。     

Reliability analysis of stochastic structural system considering static strength, stiffness and fatigue

Multi-failures are possible to appear in the process of using the structural system, such as dead load failure, fatigue failure and stiffness failure. The expression of residual resistance is given based on the impact of random crack propagation in- duced by the fatigue load on the critical limit stress and section modulus in this paper. The failure modes of every element of the structural system are analyzed under dead and fatigue loads, and the influence of the correlation of failure modes on reliability of the element is considered. Failure mechanism and the correlation of failure modes under dead and fatigue loads are discussed, and the method of reli- ability analysis considering static strength, fatigue and stiffness is given. A nu- merical example is analyzed, which indicates that the failure probability is different for different use life and the influence of dead and fatigue loads on reliability of the structural system is different as well. This method of reliability analysis, in the pa- per, is better than the method only considering a single factor (or static strength, or fatigue, or stiffness, etc.) in the case of practical engineering.     

Quantum phase transitions of fermionic atoms in an anisotropic triangular optical lattice

The effect of anisotropy caused by a confining potential on the properties of fermionic cold atoms in a triangular optical lattice is systematically investigated by using the dynamical cluster approximation combined with the continuous time quantum Monte–Carlo algorithm.The quantum phase diagrams which reflect the temperature–interaction relation and the competition between the anisotropic parameter and the interaction are presented with full consideration of the anisotropy of the system.Our results show that the system undergoes a transition from Fermi liquid to Mott insulator when the repulsive interaction reaches a critical value.The Kondo effect also can be observed in this system and the pseudogap is suppressed at low temperatures due to the Kondo effect.A feasible experiment protocol to observe these phenomena in an anisotropic triangular optical lattice with cold atoms is proposed,in which the hopping terms are closely related to the lattice confining potential and the atomic interaction can be adjusted via the Feshbach resonance.     

Precise half-life measurements for 38Ca and 39Ca

The half-lives of ³⁸Ca and ³⁹Ca have been measured at ISOLDE of CERN. The REXTRAP facility was used to prepare ultra-clean samples of radioactive nuclei for precision decay spectroscopy. ³⁸Ca is one of the T _z = - 1 , 0⁺ $ \rightarrow$ 0⁺ $ \beta$ -emitting nuclides used to determine the vector coupling constant of the weak interaction and the V_ud quark-mixing matrix element. The result obtained, T _1/2 = 443.8(19) ms, is four times more precise than the average of previous measurements. For ³⁹Ca , a half-life of T _1/2 = 860.7(10) ms is obtained, a result in agreement with the average value from the literature.     

Electronic transitions of fluorene, dibenzofuran, carbazole, and dibenzothiophene: From the onset of absorption to the ionization threshold

A comparative study of the electronic transitions of fluorene and its hetero-analogues dibenzofuran, carbazole, and dibenzothiophene was performed in a wide energy range. Gas phase, crystal phase, and linear dichroism electronic transmittance spectra were measured with synchrotron radiation. Electronic transitions to excited singlet states were predicted with time-dependent density functional theory, TD-B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). Based on the experimental and theoretical results, symmetry assignments of electronic transitions in the vacuum and near-UV region are suggested. The correspondence between excited states in these molecules, similarities, and differences between their electronic spectra are discussed.

Investigation of β-Ga_2O_3 films and β-Ga_2O_3/GaN heterostructures grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition

In this work,(-201) β-Ga_2O_3 films are grown on GaN substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). It is revealed that the β-Ga_2O_3 film grown on GaN possesses superior crystal quality, material homogeneity and surface morphology than the results of common heteroepitaxial β-Ga_2O_3 film based on sapphire substrate. Further, the relevance between the crystal quality of epitaxial β-Ga_2O_3 film and the β-Ga_2O_3/GaN interface behavior is investigated. Transmission electron microscopy result indicates that the interface atom refactoring phenomenon is beneficial to relieve the mismatch strain and improve the crystal quality of subsequent β-Ga_2O_3 film. Moreover, the energy band structure of β-Ga_2O_3/GaN heterostructure grown by MOCVD is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and a large conduction band offset of 0.89 eV is obtained. The results in this work not only convincingly demonstrate the advantages of β-Ga_2O_3 films grown on GaN substrate, but also show the great application potential of MOCVD β-Ga_2O_3/GaN heterostructures in microelectronic applications.

The refocused INADEQUATE MAS NMR experiment in multiple spin-systems: interpreting observed correlation peaks and optimising lineshapes

The robustness of the refocused INADEQUATE MAS NMR pulse sequence for probing through-bond connectivities has been demonstrated in a large range of solid-state applications. This pulse sequence nevertheless suffers from artifacts when applied to multispin systems, e.g. uniformly labeled (13)C solids, which distort the lineshapes and can potentially result in misleading correlation peaks. In this paper, we present a detailed account that combines product-operator analysis, numerical simulations and experiments of the behavior of a three-spin system during the refocused INADEQUATE pulse sequence. The origin of undesired anti-phase contributions to the spectral lineshapes are described, and we show that they do not interfere with the observation of long-range correlations (e.g. two-bond (13)C-(13)C correlations). The suppression of undesired contributions to the refocused INADEQUATE spectra is shown to require the removal of zero-quantum coherences within a z-filter. A method is proposed to eliminate zero-quantum coherences through dephasing by heteronuclear dipolar couplings, which leads to pure in-phase spectra.
