Quantum transport in periodically δ-doped GaAs

The Shubnikov-de Haas spectra of GaAs samples with a periodical doping with Si were measured at 4.2 K using fields of 0–14 T. From the Shubnikov-de Haas spectrum the quantum mobilities associated with individual minibands were estimated for each sample. The sheet density of Si atoms in each doping plane was fixed at approximately 2.5 × 10¹² cm^?2 in all samples and the doping period was varied in the range 40–1000 Å. The quantum mobilities obtained experimentally are compared with theoretical calculations using the random phase approximation to describe the screened interaction between electrons and charged impurities. The theory describes qualitatively the results of the experiment, i.e. an increase of the quantum mobility with the index of the miniband, and a decrease in the mobility in all minibands when the doping period is made shorter (with a weak maximum at intermediate values of the doping period). Various possible improvements of the model are suggested.     

Size-controllable synthesis of nanosized-TiO2 anatase using porous Vycor glass as template

In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of TiO₂ nanocrystal dispersed into a porous Vycor glass. We have obtained very small TiO₂ nanocrystals in the anatase form. The nanocrystal size is controlled via the mass increment only thus preventing the growth through the coalescence process. The nanocrystal size was monitored through transmission electron microscope and Raman scattering. The␣coalescence control is attributed due to the obtention of nanocrystals dispersed into the host and to the terminal bonds present in the porous which act as an anchor thus resulting in a low diffusion of the nanocrystals through the porous network.     

Modeling the Adsorption of CO on Small Pt,Fe and Co Clusters for the Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis

The adsorption of CO on Fe, Pt and Co clusters was modeled by the DFT approach using the B3LYP and the BPW91 functionals together with the LANL2DZ and the 6-31G(d) basis set. These calculations show that although CO adsorbs more strongly on Pt than on either Fe or Co, the dissociation energy on Fe and on Co is lower than the corresponding dissociation energy on Pt. Therefore, the activation energy for dissociation is not determined by the adsorption energy. Additionaly, the CO bond distances also do not show any correlation to the adsorption energy.     

Double semiconductor substrate in overlay shielded superconducting microstrip lines

The Transverse Transmission Line (TTL) is used in the theory of the overlay shielded microstrip lines considering the superconductor strip on two semiconductor regions. The superconductor effect is included with the boundary condition of the surface impedance, that is related to the complex conductivity of the material, calculated from the advanced two-fluid model. Applying the moment method the complex propagation constant of the structure, including the phase constant and the attenuation constant, is obtained. Results are presented for the complex propagation constant, versus the frequency and the temperature, of this overlay superconducting microstrip lines.     

High precision analysis of finlines on semiconductor substrate

In this study, the effect of the metallization thickness in finlines on semiconcuctor substrate is researched. The propagation parameters are computed to measure the inluence of the metallization. The theory and numerical results are presented to the propagation constant and characteristic impedance of the bilateral and unilateral finlines. The full wave analysis of the transverse transmission line — TTL method is used to determine the electromagnetic fields of the structure in Fourier transform domain — FTD. Applying the suitable boundary conditions, the moment method and expanding the fields in a set of suitable bases functions, a homogeneous matrix system is obtained and the propagation constant is computed. The characteristic impedance is obtained using the relation of the voltage in the slot and the transmitted power by the structure.Computational programs are developed to obtain numerical results to the propagation parameters composed by the propagation constant and characteristic impedance.This work received financial support by CAPES and CNPq.     

On a dual submanifold homomorphism

In this paper we develop a technique to study the homomorphisma: MU _* (B U₁)→M U_*?2 (B U₁) defined by assigning to the class off: M→B U ₁ the class off _oi: N→B U₁, wherei: N→M is the submanifold dual tof*(γ₁)?f*(γ₁), and γ₁→B U is the 3 universal line boundle. So that we can present a (σ_n), where σ_nis the class of the classifying map of the canonical line boundle overC P ⁿ, in terms of the σ_i’s and chosen generators of Π_★(M U).     

Tetrataenite in metallic grains of the Antarctic L6 chondrite ALHA 76009

Mössbauer X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies revealed that segregation and ordering occurred in the metal particles of the Antarctic L6 chondrite ALHA 76009. The ordered crystal structure of AuCu type (tetrataenite) was detected coexisting with the disordered 50-50 taenite.     

Einstein gravitation from scalar nonsingular sources alone

In the light of Einstein's equations a system only containing two scalar fields is considered: One is of long range and attractive, the other is of short range and repulsive. The sources of these fields are taken to be nonsingular and spherically symmetric. All components of the energy-momentum tensor are continuous. A static solution of the equations is obtained in the weak-field approximation. The source of the gravitational field shows a finite concentration on the center of symmetry and dilutes monotonically to zero outwards. A Schwarzschild-type gravitation is found at infinity.
