Deposition of Ag nanostructures on TiO2 thin films by RF magnetron sputtering

Ag nanostructures on TiO₂ films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering under variable deposition parameters, such as DC potential, RF-power and total pressure. The concentration, shape, and distribution of the deposited nanostructures and continuous Ag films on thin films of TiO₂ can be tailored by careful variation of the deposition parameters. Controllable clusterlike, islandlike and film Ag structures on TiO₂ film were obtained, respectively. DC potential was found as an appropriate parameter to tailor the change of Ag nanostructure and the overall Ag amount. The compositions, nanostructures and morphologies of nanocomposite films appreciably influence the optical response.     

Diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GGG laser at 1.3 μm with V<Superscript>3+</Superscript>:YAG saturable absorber

Using V³⁺:YAG crystal as the saturable absorber, a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GGG laser operating at 1.3 μm is realized for the first time. The mode-locking modulation depth of nearly 100% has been achieved. The maximum output power and the single Q-switched pulse energy are 410 mW and 8.3 μJ. The mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched pulse has a repetition rate of 349 MHz, and its average pulse width is estimated to be about 750 ps.     

Medium polarization and pairing in asymmetric nuclear matter

The many-body theory of asymmetric nuclear matter is developed beyond the Brueckner–Hartree–Fock approximation to incorporate the medium polarization effects. The extension is performed within the Babu–Brown induced interaction theory. After deriving the particle–hole interaction in the form of Landau–Migdal parameters, the effects of the induced component on the symmetry energy are investigated along with the screening of ¹ S ₀ proton–proton and ³ PF ₂ neutron–neutron pairing, which are relevant for the neutron-star cooling. The crossover from repulsive (screening) to attractive (anti-screening) interaction going from pure neutron matter to symmetric nuclear matter is discussed.     

共焦腔增强的空气拉曼散射

拉曼光谱是一种无损、快速的物质成分分析和检测方法.由于拉曼信号强度微弱,使得拉曼光谱的检测应用受到极大的限制.针对增强拉曼散射信号强度、提高检测灵敏度这一问题,设计了一种用于自发拉曼散射信号增强的共焦腔样品池,开展了基于该共焦腔的空气拉曼散射信号增强研究.共焦腔的腔镜反射率为92%,这一设计在保证共焦腔通带宽度与激光器线宽匹配的同时能有效地降低共振调节难度.实验中采用0°探测构型收集拉曼信号,并由成像式拉曼光谱仪获取光谱信号.实验发现,在共振状态下,共焦腔的耦合效率达到87.5%,单向激光功率实现约11倍放大;与无共振腔相比,共焦腔对拉曼信号实现17倍放大,信噪比提高2倍.此外,空气中CO_2的3σ检测限达到200 ppm量级.结果表明,该系统对自发拉曼散射信号增强效果显著,并且有较高的检测灵敏度.     

Instability,intermixing and electronic structure at the epitaxial LaAlO3/SrTiO3(001) heterojunction

The question of stability against diffusional mixing at the prototypical LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃(001) interface is explored using a multi-faceted experimental and theoretical approach. We combine analytical methods with a range of sensitivities to elemental concentrations and spatial separations to investigate interfaces grown using on-axis pulsed laser deposition. We also employ computational modeling based on the density function theory as well as classical force fields to explore the energetic stability of a wide variety of intermixed atomic configurations relative to the idealized, atomically abrupt model. Statistical analysis of the calculated energies for the various configurations is used to elucidate the relative thermodynamic stability of intermixed and abrupt configurations. We find that on both experimental and theoretical fronts, the tendency toward intermixing is very strong. We have also measured and calculated key electronic properties such as potential energy gradients and valence band discontinuity at the interface. We find no measurable electric field in either the LaAlO₃ or SrTiO₃, and that the valence band offset is near zero, partitioning the band discontinuity almost entirely to the conduction band edge. Significantly, we find it is not possible to account for these electronic properties theoretically without including extensive intermixing in our physical model of the interface. The atomic configurations which give the greatest electrostatic stability are those that eliminate the interface dipole by intermixing, calling into question the conventional explanation for conductivity at this interface—electronic reconstruction. Rather, evidence is presented for La indiffusion and doping of the SrTiO₃ below the interface as being the cause of the observed conductivity.

Nonextensive effects on QCD chiral phase diagram and baryon-number fluctuations within Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

In this paper, a version of the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model based on nonextensive statistical mechanics is presented. This new statistics summarizes all possible factors that violate the assumptions of the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistics to a dimensionless nonextensivity parameter q. Thus, when q tends to 1, it returns to the BG case. Within the nonextensive PNJL model, we found that as q increases, the location of the critical end point (CEP) exhibits non-monotonic behavior. That is, for \begin{document}$ q<1.15 $\end{document}, CEP moves in the direction of lower temperature and larger quark chemical potential. However, for \begin{document}$ q>1.15 $\end{document}, CEP turns to move in the direction of lower temperature and lower quark chemical potential. In addition, we studied the moments of the net-baryon number distribution, that is, variance (\begin{document}$ \sigma^{2} $\end{document}), skewness (S), and kurtosis (κ). Our results are generally consistent with the latest experimental data reported, especially for \begin{document}$ \sqrt{S_{NN}}>19.6\ \mathrm{GeV} $\end{document}, when q is set to \begin{document}$ 1.07 $\end{document}.

太赫兹互补金属氧化物半导体场效应管探测器理论模型中扩散效应研究

针对基于经典动力学理论传统模型中忽略扩散效应的问题,通过对基于玻尔兹曼理论的场效应管传输线模型的理论分析,建立了包含扩散效应的太赫兹互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)场效应管探测器理论模型,研究扩散效应对场效应管电导及响应度的影响.同时,将此模型与忽略了扩散效应的传统模型进行了对比仿真模拟,给出了两种模型下的电流响应度随温度及频率变化的差别.依据仿真结果,并结合3σ原则明确了场效应管传输线模型中扩散部分省略的依据和条件.研究结果表明:扩散部分引起的响应度差异大小主要由场效应管的工作温度及工作频率决定.其中工作频率起主要作用,温度变化对差异大小影响较为微弱;而对于工作频率而言,当场效应管工作频率小于1 THz时,模型中的扩散部分可以忽略不计;而当工作频率大于1 THz时,扩散部分不可省略,此时场效应管模型需同时包含漂移、散射及扩散三个物理过程.本文的研究结果为太赫兹CMOS场效应管理论模型的精确建立及模拟提供了理论支持.
