Oriented adsorption of NO2 on WSe2 monolayer

An oriented adsorption behavior of NO₂ is disclosed on the WSe₂ monolayer in this work regardless the monolayer is perfect or defective based on density functional theory study by large-scale sampling. The presence of typical defects, including selenium vacancy, tungsten vacancy, and antisite defect of selenium on tungsten site, does not modify the anisotropic adsorption behavior of NO₂ molecule at all. The adsorbed NO₂ exhibits similar behavior on the four kinds of monolayers with its extending orientation all main lines along the two directions of the Se–W bond and the Se–W–Se trough, in spite of the symmetry is decreased somewhat from trigonal of the perfect monolayer to bilateral of the defective monolayers. Molecular dynamic simulations well reproduce these trends. The anisotropic adsorption behavior can be attributed to the polar properties of both heteroatomic bond of the WSe₂ monolayer and NO₂ molecule itself. Out of plane polarization is believed to play key role in the vertical and then the oriented adsorption behavior formation. The sensitivity is estimated to be very good based on moderate adsorption energy (0.35, 0.42, 0. 95 and 0.78 eV on pure, selenium vacancy, tungsten vacancy, and selenium on tungsten site monolayers) and considerable charge transfer number (0.205, 0.208, 0.164, and 0.160 e, respectively), with different degrees of change by defect. These fantastic findings may provide substantial foundation for wide applications beyond thought.     

Optoelectronic Oscillator Based on Polarization Modulation

Abstract

A polarization modulator together with a polarizer can implement phase modulation, intensity modulation with tunable chirp, and frequency-doubling intensity modulation. If an optical filter is incorporated, frequency-quadrupling and frequency-sextupling intensity modulations and a microwave photonic phase shifter can also be realized. By using a polarization modulator to replace the intensity modulator in an optoelectronic oscillator, various new features are enabled. In this article, an analytical model for the polarization modulator-based systems is established. The recent development in employing polarization modulators for constructing optoelectronic oscillators is discussed. The emerging applications enabled by the polarization modulator-based optoelectronic oscillators and the possible future development are also discussed.     

Comparative analysis of electric field influence on the quantum wells with different boundary conditions.

Analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the one‐dimensional quantum well with all possible permutations of the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions (BCs) in perpendicular to the interfaces uniform electric field are used for the comparative investigation of their interaction and its influence on the properties of the system. Limiting cases of the weak and strong voltages allow an easy mathematical treatment and its clear physical explanation; in particular, for the small , the perturbation theory derives for all geometries a linear dependence of the polarization on the field with the BC‐dependent proportionality coefficient being positive (negative) for the ground (excited) states. Simple two‐level approximation elementary explains the negative polarizations as a result of the field‐induced destructive interference of the unperturbed modes and shows that in this case the admixture of only the neighboring states plays a dominant role. Different magnitudes of the polarization for different BCs in this regime are explained physically and confirmed numerically. Hellmann‐Feynman theorem reveals a fundamental relation between the polarization and the speed of the energy change with the field. It is proved that zero‐voltage position entropies are BC independent and for all states but the ground Neumann level (which has ) are equal to while the momentum entropies depend on the edge requirements and the level. Varying electric field changes position and momentum entropies in the opposite directions such that the entropic uncertainty relation is satisfied. Other physical quantities such as the BC‐dependent zero‐energy and zero‐polarization fields are also studied both numerically and analytically. Applications to different branches of physics, such as ocean fluid dynamics and atmospheric and metallic waveguide electrodynamics, are discussed.

Spontaneous spin polarization in rubrene studied by density functional theory calculations

We theoretically studied the spontaneous spin polarization properties of organic molecule rubrene by using density functional theory calculations. Our investigations show that normally nonmagnetic molecule rubrene could be spin polarized by spinless-hole injection. Magnetic moment of the molecule increases linearly with the extra hole charge amount only when the injected hole charges reach a certain value. The spin density resides predominantly on the carbon atoms in the tetracene backbone of rubrene molecule and also the bond lengths change differently due to the injected charge. Spontaneous spin polarization can be explained as the preferably filling of the spin-splitted carbon p_z orbitals near the Fermi energy for the injected charge.
