Dynamical properties of two-band superlattices with strong interband coupling in real space under the action of ac and dc－ac fields

Within a two-band tight-binding model driven by ac and dc－ac electric fields, using numerical methods, we investigate the dynamics of electrons and the quasi-energy spectrum of the system with strong interband coupling in real space. We find that when the bandwidth is suppressed to a value much smaller than the field frequency, the dynamical localization can exist in the system. The corresponding regions are found for the occurrence of dynamical localization in the parameter space.     

Investigation on transition crystal of ordinary rutile TiO2 powder and its sonocatalytic activity

The transition crystal TiO(2) sonocatalyst was prepared utilizing the method of ultrasonic irradiation in hydrogen peroxide solution. The sonocatalytic activity of the transition crystal TiO(2) powder was validated through the degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution by ultrasonic irradiation. The results show that the sonocatalytic activity of the transition crystal TiO(2) powder is obviously higher than that of pure rutile and anatase TiO(2) powders as well as mixed rutile and anatase TiO(2) powders according to the proportion of corresponding transition crystal TiO(2) catalyst. The degradation ratio of methyl orange in the presence of the transition crystal TiO(2) catalyst surpasses 75% within 80 min ultrasonic irradiation, while the degradation ratios are 55.93%, 51.68% and 40.88%, respectively, for rutile, mixed and anatase TiO(2) powders.     

Valley density profile for highly efficient x-ray lasers with good beam quality

A plasma with a valley density profile at the required electron density for high-gain operation of an x-ray laser could be obtained using a normally incident 300 ps laser pulse followed by a grazing-incident 300 ps laser pulse. Sudden heating of the valley plasma region by another grazing-incident 300 fs laser pulse would then yield a highly efficient x-ray laser beam with a deflecting angle of 2 mrad and a divergence angle of 4 mrad. Saturation operation of the x-ray laser beam at 32.6 nm could be achieved with a total pump energy of less than 100 mJ.     

High-power 1.5 and 3.4 μm intracavity KTA OPO driven by a diode-pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

With a non-critically phase-matched KTA crystal, a high-power intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) driven by a diode-side-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been realized. The maximum average output power of 13.6 W at the signal wavelength of 1534 nm and 3 W at the idler wavelength of 3472.7 nm were obtained with the repetition rate of 18 kHz, giving the optical-optical conversion efficiency of about 5.7% from diode-power at 808 nm to OPO signal output, which was the highest conversion efficiency for intracavity KTA OPO with diode-side-pumping configurations to our best knowledge. At the highest output power of 13.6 W, the signal pulse duration of 5.46 ns was obtained, corresponding to the single pulse energy of 756 μJ and peak power of 138 kW, respectively.     

碳纳米管网络导电特征的导电型原子力显微镜研究

利用导电型原子力显微镜对大范围碳纳米管（CNT）网络的导电性能进行成像观察.研究发现：在几十微米的成像范围内,每根CNT本身的电阻远小于CNT之间的接触电阻,以致于在电压偏置的网络中不同的CNT呈现电位不同的等位体;CNT的导电性能虽不因与其他CNT的交叠接触而改变,但是如果缠绕成束,则半导体性CNT趋于呈现金属性CNT的导电特征. 关键词： 导电型原子力显微镜 碳纳米管网络 碳管纳米电导     

Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb junctions with controllable critical current density for qubit application

Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions with controllable critical current density Jc are fabricated using the standard selective Nb etching process.Tunnel barriers are formed in different oxygen exposure conditions (oxygen pressure P and oxidation time t),giving rise to Jc ranging from 100 A/cm2 to above 2000 A/cm2.Jc shows a familiar linear dependence on P × t in logarithmic scales.We calculate the energy levels of the phaseand flux-type qubits using the achievable junction parameters and show that the fabricated Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions can be used conveniently for quantum computation applications in the future.     

Enhanced nonlinear optical absorption of Au/SiO2 nano-composite thin films

Nano metal-particle dispersed glasses are the attractive candidates for nonlinear optical material applications.Au/SiO 2 nano-composite thin films with 3 vol% to 65 vol% Au are prepared by inductively coupled plasma sputtering.Au particles as perfect spheres with diameters between 10 nm and 30 nm are uniformly dispersed in the SiO 2 matrix.Optical absorption peaks due to the surface plasmon resonance of Au particles are observed.The absorption property is enhanced with the increase of Au content,showing a maximum value in the films with 37 vol% Au.The absorption curves of the Au/SiO 2 thin films with 3 vol% to 37 vol% Au accord well with the theoretical optical absorption spectra obtained from Mie resonance theory.Increasing Au content over 37 vol% results in the partial connection of Au particles,whereby the intensity of the absorption peak is weakened and ultimately replaced by the optical absorption of the bulk.The band gap decreases with Au content increasing from 3 vol% to 37 vol % but increases as Au content further increases.     

InAs/GaSb量子阱的能带结构及光吸收

采用八能带K-P理论以及有限差分方法,研究了沿[001]方向生长的InAs/GaSb二类断带量子阱体系的能带结构、波函数分布和对[110]方向线性偏振光的吸收特性.研究发现,通过改变InAs或GaSb层的厚度,可有效调节该量子阱体系的能带结构及波函数分布.计算结果表明,当InAs/GaSb量子阱的导带底与价带顶处于共振状态时,导带基态与轻空穴基态杂化效应很小,且导带基态与第一激发态的波函数存在较大的重叠,导带基态与第一激发态之间在布里渊区中心处的跃迁概率明显大于导带底与价带顶处于非共振状态时的跃迁概率.研究结果对基于InAs/GaSb二类断带量子阱体系的中远红外波段的新型级联激光器、探测器等光电器件的设计具有重要意义.
