Method of determining cosmological parameter ranges with samples of candles with an intrinsic distribution

In this paper, the effect of the intrinsic distribution of cosmological candles is investigated. We find that in the case of a narrow distribution the deviation of the observed modulus of sources from the expected central value can be estimated within a ceratin range. We thus introduce lower and upper limits of X², X _min² and X_max² to estimate cosmological parameters by applying the conventional minimizing X² method. We apply this method to a gamma-ray burst (GRB) sample as well as to a combined sample including this GRB sample and an SN Ia sample. Our analysis shows that: a) in the case of assuming an intrinsic distribution of candles of the GRB sample, the effect of the distribution is obvious and should not be neglected; b) taking into account this effect would lead to a poorer constraint of the cosmological parameter ranges. The analysis suggests that in the attempt of constraining the cosmological model with current GRB samples, the results tend to be worse than was previously anticipated if the mentioned intrinsic distribution does exist.     

基于触发采样方法和相位校正的红外光谱测量的应用研究

傅里叶变换红外光谱仪可实现对高温烟气的多组分同时测量,在该方面具有广泛的应用前景。而决定其能否成功应用的重要因素之一,在于测量系统中对红外干涉图采样的相位误差控制。论述了系统相位误差产生的主要原因,通过分析氦氖激光干涉信号过零均匀性,说明了产生相位误差的主要原因是激光信号与参考信号的相位差。与此同时,定量分析了相位误差对仪器信噪比的影响,通过Mertz相位校正方法得到了仪器信噪比较之原来提高了数千倍。并进行了相关实验。实验结果表明,基于此干涉图采样方法的系统满足高温烟气测量的需要。     

Al、N共掺杂实现p-型ZnS的第一性原理研究

 采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法,计算了闪锌矿ZnS、N掺杂以及Al、N共掺杂ZnS晶体的电子结构,分析了N掺杂以及Al和N共掺杂ZnS晶体的能带结构、电子态密度以及Mulliken电荷分布。计算结果表明：N掺杂ZnS在能带中引入了深受主能级,N原子的2p态在价带顶提供了空穴载流子,载流子局域于价带顶附近;Al和N共掺使得受主能级变宽,非局域化特征明显,提高了掺杂浓度和系统的稳定性,更加有利于获得p-型ZnS。     

Strong and broadband terahertz absorber using SiO_2-based metamaterial structure

We design and experimentally demonstrate a broadband metamaterial absorber in the terahertz(THz) band based on a periodic array of aluminum(Al) squares with two different sizes. A thin silicon dioxide(SiO2) film rather than a conventional polyimide(PI) layer is used as a dielectric spacer to separate Al squares from the platinum(Pt) ground plane in our design, which significantly improves the design precision and the feasibility of the device fabrication. The combination of different sizes of Al squares gives rise to an absorption bandwidth of over 210 GHz with an absorption of over 90%. Our results also show that our device is almost polarization-insensitive. It works very well for all azimuthal angles with an absorption of beyond 80%.
