Impossibility of negative group velocities in a periodic layer structure with or without loss

The limiting group velocities available with a one-dimensional periodic medium composed of 1/4 wavelength sections are studied. For all realistic combination of medium parameters, it is found that there are superior and inferior limits to the group velocity. We use numerical analysis to investigate the effect of the refractive index mismatch, the phase velocities and the attenuation coefficient on the limits of group velocity. We show that negative group velocities are not possible in a linear passive periodic medium, and discuss why a recent report of negative tunnelling times in a passive periodic system may be explained in terms of the relatively large experimental uncertainty in determining the tunnelling times.     

Ⅱ—Ⅵ族稀磁半导体ZnSe／Zn1—xMnxSe超晶格中的应力效应

本文通过Ⅱ－Ⅵ族稀磁半导体超晶格ＺｎＳｅ／Ｚｎ１－ｘＭｎｘＳｅ的光致发光谱的测量，对其应力效应进行了讨论。样品的组分ｘ＝０．２，０．３，０．４，测量温度为Ｔ＝１１￣３００Ｋ。结果表明：由于应力效应，ＺｎＳｅ／Ｚｎ１－ｘＭｎｘＳｅ超晶格中的激子能量随ｘ值增加而发生红移。在相同组分下，不同阱、垒宽度比使应力的分布产生明显变化，从而影响超晶格中激子能量。实验与理论计算结果相一致。超晶格中光致发光峰随温度     

负载型复合半导体MoO3-TiO2/SiO2的结构与吸光性能

采用表面改性法制备了负载型复合半导体材料MoO3TiO2/SiO2,用X射线衍射、比表面测定、透射电子显微镜、红外光谱、拉曼光谱、紫外可见漫反射等技术对固体材料的结构进行了表征,并从固体材料的光响应性能和化学吸附性能方面进行了评价.结果表明,MoO3TiO2/SiO2表面存在着高度分散的MoO3和TiO2微晶,它们之间有一定的复合和键联作用,形成了Mo-O-Ti键;MoO3TiO2/SiO2复合材料表面对丙烷分子有化学吸附性能,Mo=O键上的端氧是C3H8的活性吸附位;与本体MoO3和TiO2相比,复合后MoO3TiO2/SiO2的能隙值有所增加,在紫外光区的吸光强度也明显加强,使得光生载流子的复合效率得到抑制,并产生了一定的量子尺度效应.     

Multistage Microfluidic Platform for the Continuous Synthesis of III–V Core/Shell Quantum Dots

We present a fully continuous chip microreactor‐based multistage platform for the synthesis of quantum dots with heterostructures. The use of custom‐designed chip reactors enables precise control of heating profiles and flow distribution across the microfluidic channels while conducting multistep reactions. The platform can be easily reconfigured by reconnecting the differently designed chip reactors allowing for screening of various reaction parameters during the synthesis of nanocrystals. III–V core/shell quantum dots are chosen as model reaction systems, including InP/ZnS, InP/ZnSe, InP/CdS and InAs/InP, which are prepared in flow using a maximum of six chip reactors in series.     

Tailored Organic Electrode Material Compatible with Sulfide Electrolyte for Stable All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

All‐solid‐state sodium batteries (ASSSBs) with nonflammable electrolytes and ubiquitous sodium resource are a promising solution to the safety and cost concerns for lithium‐ion batteries. However, the intrinsic mismatch between low anodic decomposition potential of superionic sulfide electrolytes and high operating potentials of sodium‐ion cathodes leads to a volatile cathode–electrolyte interface and undesirable cell performance. Here we report a high‐capacity organic cathode, Na₄C₆O₆, that is chemically and electrochemically compatible with sulfide electrolytes. A bulk‐type ASSSB shows high specific capacity (184 mAh g^?1) and one of the highest specific energies (395 Wh kg^?1) among intercalation compound‐based ASSSBs. The capacity retentions of 76 % after 100 cycles at 0.1 C and 70 % after 400 cycles at 0.2 C represent the record stability for ASSSBs. Additionally, Na₄C₆O₆ functions as a capable anode material, enabling a symmetric all‐organic ASSSB with Na₄C₆O₆ as both cathode and anode materials.
