First-principles study of Ar adsorptions on the （111） surfaces of Pd, Pt, Cu, and Rh

In the present paper we give a detailed report on the results of our first-principles investigations of Ar adsorptions at the four high symmetry sites on M （111） （M =Pd, Pt, Cu, and Rh） surfaces. Our studies indicate that the most stable adsorption sites of Ar on Pd （111） and Pt （111） surfaces are found to be the fcc-hollow sites. However, for Ar adsorptions on Cu （111） and Rh （111） surfaces, the most favorable site is the on-top site. The density of states （DOS） is analyzed for Ar adsorption on M （111） surfaces, and it is concluded that the adsorption behavior is dominated by the interaction between 3s, 3p orbits of Ar atoms and the d orbit of the base metal atoms.     

First principles study of ceramic materials (IVB group carbides) under ultrafast laser irradiation

Group IVB carbides have been applied in extreme aerospace environments as hard ceramic coatings; ZrC is being considered as a replacement for SiC in nuclear reactors. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the laser irradiation response of group IVB carbides is of clear significance. However, the existing knowledge on the fundamental properties of IVB group carbides is limited and insufficient with regard to both irradiated and non-irradiated characteristics. We investigate the effect of ultrafast laser irradiation on the lattice stability of ceramic materials(IVB group carbides) using the density functional perturbation theory(DFPT). The calculated phonon frequencies of TiC and ZrC at the ground state are in good agreement with previous calculations and experimental values. The phonon frequencies of IVB group carbides are positive, even though the electronic temperature reached 5 eV. Thus, IVB group carbides are more stable under ultrafast laser irradiation, which has greater benefits in nuclear and aeronautical applications compared to metals(W,Na), semimetals(Bi),and semiconductors(Si,SiC). The thermodynamic properties of ZrC are calculated as functions of their lattice temperature at different electronic temperatures. The elastic shear constants of IVB group carbides satisfy the Born stability criteria at Te = 5 eV. In addition, a comparison of the predicted melting temperatures of IVB group carbides, reveal that HfC is better suited for extreme high-temperature environments.     

Al原子在Pb基底上的沉积过程研究

利用分子动力学方法模拟了Al原子在Pb基底上的沉积过程. 对Al原子在Pb基底(001)面上沉积的形态与Pb原子在Al(001)基底上沉积的形态做了比较. 由于界面间势垒的不同, 两个体系界面间的形态有明显的差异. 分析了基底温度、基底晶面指向、沉积原子的入射动能对界面间原子混合的影响. 模拟结果显示: 随着基底温度升高, 基底原子的可移动性大大增加, 与沉积原子发生较大程度的混合; 入射能的改变对界面间原子的混合影响很小; 基底表面取不同的晶格指向时, 基底与沉积原子间的混合行为也有明显的不同. 利用径向分布函数分析了沉积原子的入射能对薄膜中原子排列有序性的影响. 较高入射能对应更有序的薄膜结构; 由径向分布函数的结构可以推测Al原子在Pb(001)基底表面沉积时界面间可能有金属间化合物生成. 关键词： Pb/Al体系 沉积过程 分子动力学 入射能

“神光”Ⅱ黑腔物理分解实验

本项目主要关注金腔靶内辐射烧蚀等离子体运动对辐射场特性及其诊断产生的影响和抑制方法。黑腔诊断口附近金等离子体喷射容易造成堵口现象，对X光发射能谱特性和角分布测量产生不利影响。腔内金等离子体向心运动还会使入射激光光路偏折，从而改变着靶点位置和能量沉积区域，影响腔内辐射场分布。为便于实验诊断分析，采用半腔靶和静态充气腔靶两种分解靶型进行研究，分别对应以下研究内容：了解金腔靶诊断口附近等离子体喷射对X光诊断的影响和抑制方法；利用填充气体抑制腔壁金等离子体喷射，证实静态充气黑腔靶实验的技术可行性。

MgS和MgSe带隙的GW近似修正

应用基于密度泛函理论下的局域密度近似（DFT-LDA）方法研究了岩石矿结构的 MgS和MgSe的晶体结构和能带结构。本文得到稳定结构的晶格常数与已知实验数据相吻合,MgS和MgSe都是间接带隙半导体且带隙值分别为2.74 eV和1.70 eV。尽管本文利用LDA计算的带隙值与之前的理论值很接近,但是局域密度近似常常低估带隙值。因此应用准粒子GW（G是格林函数,W是库伦屏蔽相互作用）近似 对MgS和MgSe的带隙值进行了修正,其结果分别为4.15eV和2.74 eV。GW近似的结果应该是合适的值。     

Entanglement and quantum phase transition in alternating XY spin chain with next-nearest neighbouring interactions

By using the method of density-matrix renormalization-group to solve the different spin spin correlation functions, the nearest-neighbouring entanglement （NNE） and the next-nearest-neighbouring entanglement （NNNE） of one-dimensional alternating Heisenberg XY spin chain are investigated in the presence of alternating the-nearestneighbouring interaction of exchange couplings, external magnetic fields and the next-nearest neighbouring interaction. For a dimerised ferromagnetic spin chain, the NNNE appears only above a critical dimerized interaction, meanwhile, the dimerized interaction a effects a quantum phase transition point and improves the NNNE to a large extent. We also study the effect of ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic next-nearest neighbouring （NNN） interaction on the dynamics of NNE and NNNE. The ferromagnetic NNN interaction increases and shrinks the NNE below and above a critical frustrated interaction respectively, while the antiferromagnetic NNN interaction always reduces the NNE. The antiferromagnetic NNN interaction results in a large value of NNNE compared with the case where the NNN interaction is ferromagnetic.     

Entanglement in One-Dimensional Random XY Spin Chain with Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya Interaction

The impurities of exchange couplings, external magnetic fields and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya （DM） interaction considered as Gaussian distribution, and the entanglement in one-dimensional random XY spin systems is investigated by the method of solving the different spin-spin correlation functions and the average magnetization per spin. The entanglement dynamics at central locations of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic chains have been studied by varying the three impurities and the strength of DM interaction. （i） For the ferromagnetic spin chain, the weak DM interaction can improve the amount of entanglement to a large value, and the impurities have the opposite effect on the entanglement below and above critical DM interaction. （ii） For the antiferromagnetic spin chain, DM interaction can enhance the entanglement to a steady value. Our results imply that DM interaction strength, the impurity and exchange couplings （or magnetic field） play competing roles in enhancing quantum entanglement.     

Entanglement control in one-dimensional s= 1/2 random XY spin chain

The entanglement in one-dimensional random XY spin systems where the impurities of exchange couplings and the external magnetic fields are considered as random variables is investigated by solving the different spin-spin correlation functions and the average magnetization per spin. The entanglement dynamics near particular locations of the system is also studied when the exchange couplings （or the external magnetic fields） satisfy three different distributions （the Gaussian distribution, double-Gaussian distribution, and bimodal distribution）. We find that the entanglement can be controlled by varying the strength of external magnetic field and the distributions of impurities. Moreover, the entanglement of some nearest-neighbouring qubits can be increased for certain parameter values of the three different distributions.
