Effect of hydrogen-doping on bonding properties of Ti3SiC2

Using the first principles method based on the density functional theory, we investigated the effect of hydrogen-doping on bonding properties of Ti₃SiC₂. The formation energies of hydrogen interstitials in three possible positions were calculated. The results show that hydrogen favors residing near the (0 0 1) Si plane. In these positions, hydrogen is hybridized most with 1s states of lattice atoms (Si and C), instead of Ti. The presence of hydrogen does not substantially influence the bonding nature of Ti₃SiC₂; chemical bonding is characterized by the hybridizations of Ti d-Si p and Ti d-C p states, and yields high strength. This is contrary to hydrogen-doping in transition metals, where the electron of hydrogen fills in the d bands of the metals and, as a consequence, decreases the cohesive strength of the lattice.     

Frabicating hydroxyapatite nanorods using a biomacromolecule template

Rod-like hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles with various aspect ratios are synthesized by means of low-temperature hydrothermal method in the presence of a N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium) propyl]chitosan chloride (HTCC) template. The synthesized HAps were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The results reveal that HAps are rod-like monocrystals, where the size and morphology can be tailored by varying synthesis conditions, such as pH, hydrothermal synthesis temperature and the ratio of PO₄³⁻ to the quaternary ammonium in HTCC. The mechanism of HTCC template on HAp nanorod preparation is analyzed.     

Rabi splitting with excitons in effective (near) zero-index media

We study theoretically the properties of a thin film of a semiconductor embedded in the interface of two kinds of single-negative materials. At some frequencies the structure with suitable size is equivalent to an effective (near) zero-index medium. The coupling of exciton resonance in the semiconductor and the interface mode in a zero-index medium leads to Rabi splitting. Compared with Rabi splitting observed in cavities, the splitting modes in zero-index media are robust against the scaling change of the length and direction of incident wave.     

Search for the radiative decays B-->rhogamma and B0-->omegagamma

A search of the exclusive radiative decays B-->rho(770)gamma and B0-->omega(782)gamma is performed on a sample of about 84x10(6) BBmacr; events collected by the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- storage ring. No significant signal is seen in any of the channels. We set upper limits on the branching fractions B of B(B0-->rho(0)gamma)<1.2 x 10(-6), B(B+-->rho+gamma)<2.1 x 10(-6), and B(B0-->omegagamma)<1.0 x 10(-6) at 90% confidence level (C.L.). Using the assumption that Gamma(B-->rhogamma)=Gamma(B+-->rho(+)gamma)=2 x Gamma(B0-->rho(0)gamma), we find the combined limit B(B-->rhogamma)<1.9 x 10(-6), corresponding to B(B-->rhogamma)/B(B-->K*gamma)<0.047 at 90% C.L.     

Patterned nucleation control in vacuum deposition of organic molecules

We report a generally applicable method to pattern organic molecules on mesoscopic scales. In our method, organic molecular beam deposition was conducted on substrate surfaces prepatterned with materials to which the organic molecules have larger binding energies in comparison to the substrate. Fully uniform nucleation control at these predefined locations can be achieved by an appropriate selection of the growth parameters including temperature and deposition rate. The physical mechanisms involved are studied by Monte Carlo simulations and stand in good agreement with the experimental findings.

ZnO薄膜的特殊光谱性质及其机理

以同步辐射真空紫外光(195nm)为激发源,在低温下观察到Si基衬底上ZnO薄膜的发光有三种紫外发射,其峰值波长分别为380,369．5,290nm。它们各自具有不同的衰减时间和不同的温度依赖关系,但其激发谱相同。强激发带不在近紫外区,而在真空紫外区(100～200nm),可能源于ZnO的下价带(Zn3d组态)电子的激发。对三种紫外发射的来源作了分析讨论。     

平行因子分析法在太湖水体三维荧光峰比值分析中的应用

以太湖水样三维荧光光谱数据为例,提出在采用平行因子分析法(PARAFAC)处理后的荧光数据中提取荧光峰强度计算荧光峰比值进行水环境分析评价的方法,较直接在水样原始荧光谱图中获取的荧光峰强度更加准确客观。天然水体中各水样间由于受荧光团复杂多样性等因素的影响,某类荧光物质荧光峰的激发发射波长位置并不是固定不变的,就同一水样而言各类荧光峰之间的相互重叠干扰也将影响到荧光峰强度和位置的准确判断。而在PARAFAC模型各因子中提取相应荧光峰值可以保证各水样间同类荧光物质荧光峰在同一位置又有效减弱同一水样中各类荧光物质荧光峰之间的相互干扰,更加高效准确的利用荧光峰比值进行水环境分析。区域差异性分析时水样因子得分比值的区域变化与原始荧光峰比值变化趋势是一致的。
