CMOS-compatible light-emitting devices based on thin aluminum nitride film containing Al nanocrystals

Electroluminescence (EL) from Al-rich AlN thin films grown on p-type Si substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering has been observed at room temperature. The light-emitting structure based on the thin films can be driven by an electrical pulse as short as 10⁻⁵ s. No obvious change in the light emission intensity was observed after 10⁶ pulse cycles. It has been found that the light emission intensity increases with the Al concentration. It is shown that the phenomenon is due to the enhancement of the percolative conduction via the Al nanocrystals distributed in the AlN matrix as a result of the increase in Al concentration.     

Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance in Relativistic Continuum Random Phase Approximation

The isoscalar giant monopole resonance （ISGMR） in nuclei is studied in the framework of a fully consistent relativistic continuum random phase approximation （RCRPA）. In this method the contribution of the continuum spectrum to nuclear excitations is treated exactly by the single particle Green＇s function technique. The negative energy states in the Dirac sea are also included in the single particle Green＇s function in the no-sea approximation. The single particle Green＇s function is calculated numerically by a proper product of the regular and irregular solutions of the Dirac equation. The strength distributions in the RCRPA calculations, the inverse energyweighted sum rule m-1 and the centroid energy of the ISGMR in ^120Sn and ^208Pb are analysed. Numerical results of the RCRPA are checked with the constrained relativistic mean field model and relativistic random phase approximation with a discretized spectrum in the continuum. Good agreement between them is achieved.

7-Hydroxy-3-phenoxy-8-formylchromones,analogs of natural flavonoids

7-Hydroxy-3-phenoxy-8-formylchromones were synthesized using the Duff reaction and were reacted with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to produce hydrazones and with an excess of hydrazine hydrate to produce the pyrazole recyclization products. Derivatives of α-pyrono[2,3-f]chromones were synthesized using the Knoevenagel condensation with 2-azahetarylacetonitriles and the Perkin reaction.

Stability of Optically Injected Two‐State Quantum‐Dot Lasers

Simultaneous two‐state lasing is a unique property of semiconductor quantum‐dot (QD) lasers. This not only changes steady‐state characteristics of the laser device but also its dynamic response to perturbations. In this paper we investigate the dynamic stability of QD lasers in an external optical injection setup. Compared to conventional single‐state laser devices, we find a strong suppression of dynamical instabilities in two‐state lasers. Furthermore, depending on the frequency and intensity of the injected light, pronounced areas of bistability between both lasing frequencies appear, which can be employed for fast optical switching in all‐optical photonic computing applications. These results emphasize the suitability of QD semiconductor lasers in future integrated optoelectronic systems where a high level of stability is required.

建立了双波长相移光纤光栅的理论模型,对双波长相移光纤光栅的透射谱特性进行了数值仿真,结果表明透射波长间隔会分别随相移量、折射率调制深度和光栅长度的变化而有规律地增减.借助光纤布拉格光栅的法布里-珀罗腔谐振相位条件计算了透射峰间隔的表达式,该表达式得到的透射峰间距曲线与数值仿真得到的曲线相符合,验证了数值仿真结果的正确性.最后,在光栅透射谱波长间隔变化规律的基础上提出一种传感方案,并对光栅的温度传感特性进行分析,理论推导得到灵敏度约为60pm/℃.     

Geometry of rank 2 distributions with nonzero Wilczynski invariants

In the famous 1910 “cinq variables” paper Cartan showed in particular that for maximally nonholonomic rank 2 distributions in ?⁵ with non-zero covariant binary biquadratic form the dimension of the pseudo-group of local symmetries does not exceed 7 and among such distributions he described the one-parametric family of distributions for which this pseudo-group is exactly 7-dimensional. Using the novel interpretation of the Cartan covariant binary biquadratic form via the classical Wilczynski invariant of curves in projective spaces associated with abnormal extremals of the distributions [4, 27, 28] one can generalize this Cartan result to rank 2 distributions in ?ⁿ satisfying certain genericity assumption, called maximality of class, for arbitrary n ≥ 5.

In the present paper for any rank 2 distribution of maximal class with at least one nonvanishing generalized Wilczynski invariants we construct the canonical frame on a (2n — 3)-dimensional bundle and describe explicitly the moduli spaces of the most symmetric models. The relation of our results to the divergence equivalence of Lagrangians of higher order is given as well.     

Energetics of dioxygen binding into graphene patches with various sizes and shapes

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the electronic properties of an H-atom terminated graphene patch (hydrographene) smaller than a rhombic C96H26 structure with zigzag edges. Depending on shapes and sizes of hydrographenes, some hydrographenes have the triplet ground state where unpaired electrons are localized on their zigzag edges. The stability of the triplet spin state is diminished, decreasing the hydrographene sizes. The existence of the localized spin densities allows triplet dioxgen to bind into a hydrographene. According to the DFT calculations, the energetics of the dioxygen bindings is negatively influenced by downsizing hydrographenes, as well as depends on their shapes. The size-and shape-dependences of the dioxygen bindings reflect from the stability of the triplet state of a hydrographene, because its localized unpaired electrons can be utilized to be attached to an unpaired electron of triplet dioxygen.     

Influence of the crystallite size on the phase transformation of yttria irradiated with swift heavy ions

The irradiation effects induced by swift heavy ions are now widely described in `bulk' materials. It is shown here that the behaviour of matter under irradiation depends on its crystalline state in the sense that a given material is all the more sensitive to swift heavy ion irradiations as the mean crystallite size L is small. The present paper relates the experimental results obtained in yttrium oxide from `in situ' X-ray diffraction measurements. Three kinds of sample have been irradiated: sintered samples (L = 1μm), non-ground powders (L = 45 nm) and ground powders (L = 28 nm). A cubic to monoclinic phase transformation appears if the electronic energy loss of the incident particle is higher than a threshold. The comparison between the different kinds of samples reveals that this phase transformation is all the easier as the mean crystallite size of the target is weak.
