FeMn掺杂AlN薄膜的制备及其特性研究

采用直流磁控共溅射技术, 以Ar与N₂为源气体, 硅片为衬底成功地制备了Fe, Mn掺杂AlN薄膜. 利用X射线衍射和拉曼光谱研究了工作电流、靶基距离等工艺参数的改变对薄膜结构的影响. 利用扫描电子显微镜和能谱分析仪对薄膜的表面形貌和组成成分进行了分析. 利用振动样品磁强计在室温下对Fe, Mn掺杂AlN薄膜进行了磁性表征. Mn掺杂AlN薄膜表现出顺磁性的原因可能是由于Mn掺杂浓度较高, 在沉积过程部分Mn以团簇的形式存在, 反铁磁性的Mn团簇减弱了体系的铁磁交换作用. Fe掺杂AlN薄膜表现出室温铁磁性, 这可能是AlFeN三元化合物作用的结果. 随着Fe 掺杂AlN薄膜中Fe原子浓度从6.81%增加到16.17%, 其饱和磁化强度M_s由0.27 emu·cm^-3逐渐下降到0.20 emu·cm^-3, 而矫顽力H_c则由57 Oe增大到115 Oe (1 Oe=79.5775 A/m), 这一现象与Fe离子间距离的缩短及反铁磁耦合作用增强有关. 关键词： 直流磁控共溅射 氮化铝薄膜 结构 磁性     

Metal Substitution in Layered Superconducting La2C2Br2

The effect of metal substitution in La₂C₂Br₂ by Lu (non-magnetic) and Ce (magnetic), respectively, on T_c was studied. The Lu substitution affects T_c, which decreases moderately with increasing amount of Lu. However Ce substitution affects T_c drastically, such that only 10% Ce substitution makes superconductivity disappear.     

二维应变作用下超导薄膜LiFeAs的磁性和电子性质

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,研究了二维应变作用下LiFeAs超导薄膜的磁性结构、电子能带和态密度变化,分析了应变对其超导电性的作用.结果显示,对体系施加1%—6%的二维平面张、压应变均不改变其基态条形反铁磁性结构,费米面附近的电子态密度主要来自于Fe-3d轨道电子以及少量的As-4p电子.研究发现,与无应变情形相比,当施加压应变时,体系中Fe离子的反平行的电子自旋局域磁矩减小,薄膜反铁磁性受到抑制,费米面上电子态密度增加,超导电性来自于以反铁磁超交换耦合作用为媒介的空穴型费米面和电子型费米面间嵌套的Cooper电子对.而在张应变作用时,局域反铁磁性增强,费米面上电子态密度减小,金属性减弱,特别是张应变时费米面上空穴型能带消失, Cooper电子对出现概率显著降低,将抑制超导相变.     

Cu含量对Ni_(55)Fe_(18)Ga_(27)合金结构和磁性的影响

系统研究了Cu分别替代Fe和Ni对Ni_(55)Fe_(18)Ga_(27)结构和磁性的影响.结果表明:熔炼Ni_(55)Fe_(18-x)Cu_xGa_(27 )(x=1, 2, 3, 4)虽仍为奥氏体相结构,但伴有γ相出现;居里温度随Cu含量增加而降低,这是由于Cu掺杂引起过渡金属近邻原子间相互交换作用减弱所致;交流磁化率随Cu含量增加而降低,原因在于Fe是磁性的主要贡献者,Cu替代Fe会削弱Fe的磁矩,从而导致合金磁性降低.熔炼、退火和甩带Ni_(51)Cu_4Fe_(18)Ga_(27)均存在马氏体相变.熔炼样品马氏体相变温度最高,退火和甩带样品基本相同.这一特点表明热处理方式能够改变原子排列的有序度,因此可以通过改变热处理方式来调控马氏体相变温度.     

The geometrical structure,electronic structure and magnetism of bimetallic Au<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>M<Subscript>2</Subscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>=1, 2; M=Y,Zr, Nb,Mo, Tc,Ru, Rh,Pd) clusters

The geometrical structure, stability, magnetism, and electronic structure of bimetallic clusters AuM₂ and Au₂M₂, where M are 4d transition metal elements, are investigated systematically by using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. The calculation results show that there is a large amount of low-energy isomers with the very similar structure. AuM₂ and Au₂M₂ clusters display dramatic magnetism. The magnetic moment of the 4d element is either enhanced or weakened with respect to the bulk value, which is largely dependent on the orbital exchange-splitting.

Fibrillation of solar magnetic fields

Solar magnetic structures are often observed in the form of flux tubes composed of a number of smaller elements called fibres or threads, although theoretically such concentrations should not appear but should be flattened by magnetic diffusivity into a uniform, low intensity field. In this paper we describe a mechanism which may be responsible for the fibrillation and also for the very large diffusivity which dissipates magnetic flux tubes in hours instead of years. Firstly, the electric current associated with magnetic field gradients usually increases the local electron temperature and reduces the resistivity, so that the current becomes concentrated into sheets or streamers. Secondly, the magnetic field gradients continue to increase until the current magnitude reaches its limit, which is determined by the electron-ion streaming instability. Then with appropriate temperature and number densities, the Larmor radius of the ions overlaps the near discontinuity in B_z and generates a sharply peaked fluid motion at the edge that is close to the thermal speed. Finally, the resulting vorticity generates an axial magnetic field opposing B_z in the term , and if this is sufficient to change the sign of this term, the very unstable backward heat equation results. This instability repeatedly switches on and off and maintains the magnetic structure in the fibrillated form. Such structures are eventually eliminated by magnetic diffusivity in the usual way, but because of the fluctuations in B_z, this occurs at a vastly increased rate. We show that this phenomenon increases the magnetic diffusivity, D, by a factor ~ 10⁸ in agreement with some observations of plasma loops and supergranules.

Mn(SiO2)3(M=Fe,Co,Ni;n=1-3)团簇的几何结构、光电性质及磁性

基于密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似系统研究M_n(SiO₂)₃(M=Fe,Co,Ni;n=1-3)团簇的几何结构、光电性质和磁学性质.结果表明:Fe,Co原子相对于Ni原子更易于在(SiO₂)₃团簇上聚集;通过分析团簇的分裂途径及其产物,发现稳定性较好的氧化硅是一种很好的用于负载过渡金属"岛膜"的载体材料;M_n(SiO₂)₃团簇的能隙恰好位于近红外光谱范围内.通过磁性分析发现,该复合团簇的磁矩主要局域在过渡金属原子周围,而且,Fe₂(SiO₂)₃和Co₃(SiO₂)₃具有相对较大的磁矩,这主要源于过渡金属原子的d轨道间相互耦合.能隙和磁性两方面性质进一步肯定了二氧化硅磁性复合材料在医学界被用作光动力靶向治疗的可观前景.     

Quantum simulation of the Hubbard model with ultracold fermions in optical lattices

Ultracold atomic gases provide a fantastic platform to implement quantum simulators and investigate a variety of models initially introduced in condensed matter physics or other areas. One of the most promising applications of quantum simulation is the study of strongly correlated Fermi gases, for which exact theoretical results are not always possible with state-of-the-art approaches. Here, we review recent progress of the quantum simulation of the emblematic Fermi–Hubbard model with ultracold atoms. After introducing the Fermi–Hubbard model in the context of condensed matter, its implementation in ultracold atom systems, and its phase diagram, we review landmark experimental achievements, from the early observation of the onset of quantum degeneracy and superfluidity to the demonstration of the Mott insulator regime and the emergence of long-range anti-ferromagnetic order. We conclude by discussing future challenges, including the possible observation of high-$T_{\mathrm{c}}$ superconductivity, transport properties, and the interplay of strong correlations and disorder or topology.     

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of rare-earth perovskite gallates from first principles

The density functional calculation is performed for centrosymmetric(La–Pm) GaO_3 rare earth gallates, using a full potential linear augmented plane wave method with the LSDA and LSDA+U exchange correlation to treat highly correlated electrons due to the very localized 4f orbitals of rare earth elements, and explore the influence of U = 0.478 Ry on the magnetic phase stability and the densities of states. LSDA+U calculation shows that the ferromagnetic(FM) state of RGaO_3 is energetically more favorable than the anti-ferromagnetic(AFM) one, except for LaGaO_3 where the NM state is the lowest in energy. The energy band gaps of RGaO_3 are found to be in the range of 3.8–4.0 eV, indicating the semiconductor character with a large gap.
