Improving InGaN-LED performance by optimizing the patterned sapphire substrate shape

The epitaxial growths of GaN films and GaN-based LEDs on various patterned sapphire substrates (PSSes) with different values of fill factor (f) and slanted angle (θ) are investigated in detail. The threading dislocation (TD) density is lower in the film grown on the PSS with a smaller fill factor, resulting in a higher internal quantum efficiency (IQE). Also the ability of the LED to withstand the electrostatic discharge (ESD) increases as the fill factor decreases. The illumination output power of the LED is affected by both θ and f. It is found that the illumination output power of the LED grown on the PSS with a lower production of tanθ and f is higher than that with a higher production of tanθ and f.     

Interaction between graphene and the surface of SiO2

The interaction between graphene and a SiO(2) surface has been analyzed with first-principles DFT calculations by constructing the different configurations based on α-quartz and cristobalite structures. The fact that single-layer graphene can stay stably on a SiO(2) surface is explained based on a general consideration of the configuration structures of the SiO(2) surface. It is found that the oxygen defect in a SiO(2) surface can shift the Fermi level of graphene down which opens up the mechanism of the hole-doping effect of graphene adsorbed on a SiO(2) surface observed in a lot of experiments.

Ferromagnetism in noncompensated (Mn,Ga)-codoped ZnO films

Mn/Ga noncompensated codoped ZnO films were prepared on c-cut sapphire substrates via pulsed laser deposition. The structural, magnetic, transport, and optical properties of the films were then investigated. Addition of the Ga donor increases the electron concentration and enhances the magnetization in these films because of the net negative charge of the special noncompensated codoping, which can adjust the carrier concentration as well as the magnetic moment. Moreover, the Fermi level moves into the conduction band because of the increase in electron concentration, which results in an increase in the optical band gap value, from 3.28 eV for the undoped ZnO film to 3.61 eV for the (Mn,Ga)-codoped ZnO film.     

Preservation of entanglement in a two-qubit-spin coupled system

A theoretical scheme for preserving the entanglement in a two-qubit-spin coupled system in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) anisotropic antisymmetric interaction is proposed. On the basis of a sequence of operations performed periodically on the system, the scheme can preserve the entanglement of the system starting from any initial state with any desired high precision for any desired long duration.

An improved loopless mounting method for cryocrystallography

Based on a recent loopless mounting method, a simplified loopless and bufferless crystal mounting method is developed for macromolecular crystallography. This simplified crystal mounting system is composed of the following components: a home-made glass capillary, a brass seat for holding the glass capillary, a flow regulator, and a vacuum pump for evacuation. Compared with the currently prevalent loop mounting method, this simplified method has almost the same mounting procedure and thus is compatible with the current automated crystal mounting system. The advantages of this method include higher signal-to-noise ratio, more accurate measurement, more rapid flash cooling, less x-ray absorption and thus less radiation damage to the crystal. This method can be extended to the flash-freeing of a crystal without or with soaking it in a lower concentration of cryoprotectant, thus it may be the best option for data collection in the absence of suitable cryoprotectant. Therefore, it is suggested that this mounting method should be further improved and extensively applied to cryocrystallographic experiments.     

Operators’s-parameterized ordering and its classical correspondence in quantum optics theory

In reference to the Weyl ordering xmpn→(1/2)mΣι=0m(ιm)Xm-ιPnXι , where X and P are coordinate and momentum operator, respectively, this paper examines operators’s-parameterized ordering and its classical correspondence, finds the fundamental function-operator correspondence ((1-s)/2)(n+m)/2Hm,n((2/(1-s))～(1/2)α,(2/(1-s))～(1/2)α)→a+man,and its complementary relation αnα*m→(-i)n+m((1-s)/2)(m+n)/2:Hm,n(i(2/(1-s))～(1/2)a+,i((2/(1-s))～(1/2)a):,where H m,n is the two-variable Hermite polynomial, a, a+ are bosonic annihilation and creation operators respectively, s is a complex parameter. The s’-ordered operator power-series expansion of s-ordered operator sa+mans in terms of the two-variable Hermite polynomial is also derived. Application of operators’s-ordering formula in studying displaced-squeezed chaotic field is discussed.     

Ultrafast nonlinear optical properties of dye-doped PMMA discs irradiated by 40 fs laser pulses

The two-photon absorption (TPA) characteristics of PMMA discs doped with three different dyes were studied using an fs-pulsed Ti-Sapphire laser as the pump source, and employing the open-aperture Z-scan technique. TPA cross-sections obtained for PMMA doped with the dyes PM597, DCM and rhodamine 6G–rhodamine B (co-doped) were found to be equal to 24.7, 33.3 and 32.3 GM, respectively (1 GM=10^?50 cm⁴ s phot^?1 mol^?1). Furthermore, two-photon fluorescence was measured for the samples containing DCM and rhodamine 6G–rhodamine B (co-doped). Compared to the one-photon fluorescence spectrum, the peaks in the two-photon fluorescence spectrum were red shifted and the extent of red shift increased with increasing doping concentration. We have also observed that the red shift in the two-photon fluorescence peak of the samples in the solid form is much larger than that in the solution state. This phenomenon could be explained by a twisted intra-molecular charge transfer model.
