We study the magnetotransport of the interacting QD system in a magnetic field using the numerical method of embedded-cluster approximation (ECA). The spin-resolved conductances display different magnetic field dependences for different transport regimes. Through comparison of conductance polarization, the mixed-valence regime shows the largest polarization. The spin-resolved conductance as a function of the ratio between the magnetic field and Kondo temperature H/TK is found to exhibit an approximate universal behavior in the Kondo regime. We also investigate conductance dependence on interaction strength and find interesting inversion of sign of polarization in some cases. 相似文献
A set of 2D finite element numerical simulation of induction heating process for an oxide Czochralski crystal growth system has been made for a range of f=1–100 kHz applied frequency of driving current. It was shown that the frequency selection has a marked effect in all basic induction phenomena, including electromagnetic field distribution, skin depth, coil efficiency, and intensity and structure of heating in the growth setup. 相似文献
In the crystallographic literature, there is an ever-increasing number of publications on crystals that are referred to as ‘new non-linear optical materials’, many of them reporting salts of amino acids. However, the term NLO material is used improperly in most cases. In fact, the establishment of any crystal species as such a material requires several experimental and computational procedures, which are seldom satisfied when characterizing a supposedly new species. Here, some frequent hazards and problems are addressed and observations of papers reporting amino acid compounds as supposedly new NLO materials are made. 相似文献
In the context of Markov processes, both in discrete and continuous setting, we show a general relation between duality functions
and symmetries of the generator. If the generator can be written in the form of a Hamiltonian of a quantum spin system, then
the “hidden” symmetries are easily derived. We illustrate our approach in processes of symmetric exclusion type, in which
the symmetry is of SU(2) type, as well as for the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model for which we unveil its SU(1,1) symmetry. The KMP model is in turn an instantaneous thermalization limit of the energy process associated to a large
family of models of interacting diffusions, which we call Brownian energy process (BEP) and which all possess the SU(1,1) symmetry. We treat in details the case where the system is in contact with reservoirs and the dual process becomes absorbing. 相似文献
A wide variety of gas phase ions with kinetic energies from 1–107 eV increasingly are being used for the growth and modification of state-of-the-art material interfaces. Ions can be used to deposit thin films; expose fresh interfaces by sputtering; grow mixed interface layers from ions, ambient neutrals, and/or surface atoms; modify the phases of interfaces; dope trace elements into interface regions; impart specific chemical functionalities to a surface; toughen materials; and create micron- and nanometer-scale interface structures. Several examples are developed which demonstrate the variety of technologically important interface modification that is possible with gas phase ions. These examples have been selected to demonstrate how the choice of the ion and its kinetic energy controls modification and deposition for several different materials. Examples are drawn from experiments, computer simulations, fundamental research, and active technological applications. Finally, a list of research areas is provided for which ion–surface modification promises considerable scientific and technological advances in the new millennium. 相似文献
A large fraction of processes which are at the foundation of our technological society involve physical and chemical properties of surfaces. Catalytic reactions and semiconductor devices production are two of the most important ones.
This paper describes a sample of some of the most relevant surface science experiments which have been recently performed, in order to understand elementary surface processes of model catalytic reactions and in semiconductor technology at the atomic level. The focus is on experiments performed with scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy which have represented, in some cases, real breakthroughs in our understanding of these phenomena.
We then present an overview of possible experimental technique developments that can be foreseen for the future and that may give us a more in-depth understanding of the elementary processes which form the basis of important complex surface phenomena. Finally, some of the challenging tasks that lie ahead for surface scientists and the collateral opportunities are discussed. 相似文献
We consider the growth curve model with covariance structures: positive-definite, uniform covariance structure and serial covariance structure. Two types of prediction problems are studied in this paper. One is called the conditional prediction problem and the other is called the extended prediction problem. For both types of prediction problems, the mean squared error for a serial covariance structure is obtained for the estimates based on the conditional expectation: the mean squared error for an unrestricted covariance structure is compared with the mean squared error for a uniform covariance structure or a serial covariance structure. These results are exemplified by two sets of real data.This research was supported in part by Grant-in-Aid for general Scientific Research, The Ministry of Education, Science and Culture under Contract Number 03640239. 相似文献
A discussion on the use of Auger electron spectroscopy as a quantitative tool to determine the growth mode of metals on single crystal oxide surfaces is presented. In the case of Pd grown epitaxially on MgO(100), the three-dimensional character of the growth is easily seen at coverage above one monolayer. However, in the submonolayer regime, and mainly at low substrate temperatures, the AES results are ambiguous. The combination of AES with the more sensitive helium-atom diffraction method allows us to demonstrate that the growth is three-dimensional from the early stages, the particles becoming flatter when the substrate temperature decreases. We compare our results with other growth studies on different metal/oxide systems. At low temperature, the ideal growth modes are not always observed, the final morphology of the films being determined mainly by kinetic effects. Thus a pseudo-Stranski-Krastanov growth mode is often obtained with formation of 2D islands followed by 3D clustering from a critical submonolayer coverage. 相似文献
