Optical Fibre Mode Structures Measured by Collection Mode Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy

High order fibre mode structures are measured by a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) and are determined to be consistent with the standard fibre LP patterns. The mode-field distortions of high-order mode LP11 and LP21 structures by far-field measurement are analysed based on scalar diffraction theory, and the maximum distortions may reach as high as 5.1% and 6.2%。 This shows that the method of using the NSOM is more accuracy than the far-field measurement method, especially for high-order mode structures of optical fibres.     

Morphology of Platinum Nanowire Array Electrodepostied Within Anodic Aluminium Oxide Template Characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy

Unifrom platinum nanowires were synthesized by electrodepositing the platinum under a very low altering current frequency(20Hz) and increasing voltage(5-15V）in the proes of anodic aluminium oxide(AAO) template. Atomic force microscopy observation indicates that the template membranes we obtained have hexagonally clse-packed nanochannels.The platinum nanowires have highly ordered arrays after partially dissolving the aluminium oxide membrane.With the increasing dissolvoing time,the platinum nanowire array collapsed.A concave topography of the aluminium substrate was observed after the aluminium oxide membrane was dissolved completely and the platinum nanowires were released from the template.Platinum nanowires were also characterized by transmission electron microscopy and the phase structure of the Al/AAO/Pt composite was proven by x-ray diffraction.

C59N单分子整流器

通过将单个C59N分子置于双势垒隧道结中，从而利用单电子隧穿效应和C59N分子的特殊能级结构，我们成功地实现了一种新型的单分子整流器件．实验中这个整流器件的正向导通电压约为0．5-0．7V，反向击穿电压约为1．6—1．8V．理论分析表明，中性C59N分子的半占据费米能级以及在不同充电情况下费米能级的不对称移动是形成整流效应的主要原因．其构成原理也决定了该器件具有稳定、易重复的特点．     

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。

Experimental Study of Capillary Effect in Porous Silicon Using Micro-Raman Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction

We investigate the capillary effect and the residual stress evolution in the wetting, drying and rewetting stages of porous silicon using x-ray diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy. A reversible capillary effect and an irreversible oxidation effect are the driving forces for the residual stress evolution. The lattice expansion of the porous-silicon layer is observed to decrease slightly by x-ray diffraction and the tensile residual stress increases rapidly by micro-Raman spectroscopy, with the change of about 82 MPa for the oxidation effect and the change of 2.78 GPa (enough for cracking) for the capillary effect. Therefore, the capillary effect plays a major role in the residual stress evolution in the stages. A simple microscopic liquid-bridge model is introduced to explain the capillary effect and its reversibility. The capillary emergence has a close relation with a great deal of the micro-pore structure of porous silicon.
