谈谈普朗克常数

 普朗克常数是现代物理学中最重要的物理常数之一,它成为区分宏观客体和微观客体的界限。普朗克常数的发现,在物理学的发展史上具有划时代的意义,它第一次表明了辐射能量的不连续性,这是现代物理学中富有革命性的事件。由于它的发现,物理学进入了一个全新的时代,这个理论物理学的新概念导致了量子理论的建立。普朗克常数发现前经典物理面临的困难19世纪末20世纪初,物理学的各分支已相当成熟,建立起了系统的理论,在应用中发挥越来越大的作用。但是,在和实验进一步对比的过程中,也出现了一些经典物理的范畴内无法解决的困难。黑体辐射19世纪末,人们用经典物理学解释黑体辐射实验时,出现了著名的所谓“紫外灾难”。     

从现代物理思想展望中医的发展

 物理学的发展总是与医学息息相关的,几乎每一项重大的物理学成果都在医学领域中找到了自己的一席之地。西方医学在不同时期紧密跟随物理学科的进步,取得了一系列的辉煌成就。比如17世纪显微镜的发明在形态解剖学以及生物细胞学发展史上起到了不可替代的作用。20世纪以后物理学的发展可谓突飞猛进,医学的发展也同样令世人瞩目。如由于X射线的发现带来它在外科诊断上的广泛应用、晶体衍射技术而带来的对生物大分子结构的认识、核技术的发展对癌症治疗的贡献、由激光的发展引出的对未来医学的乐观憧憬等等!我们几乎相信西医已发展到了相当完美的境地!然而回首物理学及西医的发展,不难看出科学认识的阶段性、局限性以及可能面临的某些难题。     

相对论的先驱——马赫

 爱因斯坦创立的广义相对论是现代物理学的重要基石,是20世纪自然科学的伟大发现,对物理学、天文学乃至哲学都有着深远影响。爱因斯坦是如何创立相对论的?他曾受到哪位物理学家思想的启发?要回答这个问题,我们就不得不提到著名的物理学家和哲学家恩斯特·马赫（ErnstMach）。马赫是著名的物理学家、哲学家、生物学家和心理学家,1838年2月18日出生于奥地利摩拉维亚地区布尔诺附近的切尔利斯·图拉斯,自幼受到良好教育,在维也纳大学学习5年后,于1860年以放电和感应的论文获得博士学位。他精通拉丁文、希腊文、法文、意大利文和英文。     

Is Kano-Nucleon Interaction Consistent with Pentaquark θ^＋

The quark-delocalization colour-screening model is employed to calculate the effective potential between nucleon and kaon. The results show that the potentials are attractive in the I = 0 channel and repulsive in the I = 1 channel. The interactions are very weak between K^＋n or K^0p due to the cancellation between I = 0 and I = 1. It is possible to have a high s-wave resonance （1615 MeV）, but the width may be too wide to be observed in the experiments.     

Formation of Interfacial Layers in LaAlO3/Silicon during Film Deposition

We have studied the interracial reactions between amorphous LaAlO3 thin films and Si substrates, using high- resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been shown that the interracial layer between LaAlO3 film and Si substrate chemical states show that the ratio of La 4d3/2 to Al 2p is SiLaxAlyOz. The depth distributions of La, Si and Al of the interfacial layer remains unchanged with the depth compared to that of the LaAlO3 film. Moreover, the Si content, in the interracial layer gradually decreases with increasing thickness of the interracial layer. These results strongly suggest that the Al element is not deficient in the interracial layer, as previously believed, and the formation of a SiLaxAlyOz interracial layer is mainly due to the diffusion of Si from the substrate during the LaAlO3 film deposition. With the understanding of the interracial layer formation, ones can control the interface characteristics to ensure the desired performances of devices using high-k oxides as gate dielectrics.     

Bloch Oscillations of Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates in Optical Lattices

We study the Bloch oscillations of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in spin-dependent optical lattices. The influence of the intercomponent atom interaction on the system is discussed in detail Accelerated breakdown of the Bloch oscillations and revival phenomena are found respectively for the repulsive and attractive case. For both the cases, the system will finally be set in a quantum self-trapping state due to dynamical instability.     

New Spinor Field Realizations of the Non-Critical W3 String

We investigate the new spinor field realizations of the W3 algebra, making use of the fact that the W3 algebra can be linearized by the addition of a spin-1 current. We then use these new realizations to build the nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin charges of the spinor non-critical W3 string.     

Thermal Rate Constants of the N（^4S）＋O2（X^3∑g^-） → NO（X^2Ⅱ） ＋O（^3P） Reaction on the ^2A′ Potential Energy Surface

A quasiclassical trajectory study with the sixth-order explicit symplectic algorithm for the N（^4S）＋O2（X^3∑g^-） → NO（X^2Ⅱ） ＋O（^3P） reaction has been reported by employing a new ground potential energy surface. We have discussed the influence of the relative translational energy, the vibrational and rotational levels of O2 molecules on the total reaction cross section. Thermal rate constants at temperatures 300, 600, and 1000 K determined in this work for the reaction are 4.4 × 10^7, 1.8 × 10^10, and 3.1 × 10^11 cm^3mol^-1s^-1, respectively. It is found that they are in better agreement with the experimental data than previous theoretical values.     

Experimental Studies on Thermal and Electrical Properties of Platinum Nanofilms

We experimentally studied the in-plane thermal and electrical properties of a suspended platinum nanofilm in thickness of 15 nm. The measured results show that the in-plane thermal conductivity, the electrical conductivity and the resistance-temperature coefficient of the studied nanofilm are much less than those of the bulk material, while the Lorenz number is greater than the bulk value. Comparing with the results reported previously for the platinum nanofilm in thickness of 28 nm, we further find that the in-plane thermal conductivity, the electrical conductivity and the resistance-temperature coefficient decrease with the decreasing thickness of the nanotilm, while the Lorenz number increases with the decreasing thickness of the nanofilm. These results indicate that strong size effects exist on the in-plane thermal and electrical properties of platinum nanofilms.
