Analysis of phase shift of surface plasmon polaritons at metallic subwavelength hole arrays

We present the transmission spectra of light transmitting a metallic thin film perforated with differently shaped sub- wavelength hole arrays, which are calculated by a plane-wave-based transfer matrix method. We analyze the transmission peak positions and the phase-shift angles of different surface plasmon polariton （SPP） modes by using the microscopic theoretical model proposed by Haitao Liu and Philippe Lalanne [Liu Haitao, and Lalanne Philippe 2008 Nature 452 728], in which the phase shift properties of the SPPs scattered by the subwavelength hole arrays are considered. The results show that the transmission peak position and the minus phase shift angle of the SPP increase as the hole size increases. On the other hand, the effective dielectric constant of the metallic film can be deduced by the microscopic theoretical model.     

Polarization independent broadband terahertz antireflection by deep‐subwavelength thin metallic mesh

Broadband antireflection coatings for passive terahertz (THz) components are extremely important in the application of THz technology. Metallic nano‐films are commonly used for this purpose. Here a new approach to realize polarization independent broadband antireflection in THz range, based on a meta‐surface design is experimentally demonstrated. The internal reflection of a broadband THz pulse (spectral bandwidth of 0.06 – 4 THz) at a Si/air interface can be fully suppressed with a Cr square mesh with deep‐subwavelength dimensions. Small nonuniformity of the meta‐surface structure can enhance the tolerance on structural parameters for achieving the AR condition. The design concept is applicable to other metals and frequency ranges as well, which opens a new window for future AR coatings.     

Thermodynamical properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses

The temperature dependence of Gibb's free energy difference (ΔG), entropy difference (ΔS) and enthalpy difference (ΔH) between the undercooled melt and the corresponding equilibrium solid phases of bulk metallic glass (BMG) forming melts has been proved to be very useful in the study of their thermodynamical behavior. The present study is made by calculating ΔG, ΔS and ΔH in the entire temperature range T_m (melting temperature) to T_g (glass transition temperature) for three Zr-based samples of BMGs: Zr₅₇Cu_15.4Ni_12.6Al₁₀Nb₅, Zr_41.2Ti_13.8Ni₁₀Cu_12.5Be_22.5 and Zr_58.5Cu_15.6Ni_12.8Al_10.3Nb_2.8. The study is made on the basis of Taylor's series expansion and a comparative study is also performed between the present result and the result obtained in the framework of expansions proposed by earlier workers, and also with the experimental results. An attempt has also been made to study the glass forming ability for BMGs.     

5d过渡金属氧化物中的奇异量子物性研究

相比于3d和4d过渡金属元素, 5d过渡金属元素既具有很强的自旋轨道耦合相互作用, 同时它们的电子关联作用也不可忽略. 因而5d过渡金属氧化物体系具有许多奇异的量子特性. 这篇综述主要介绍我们在5d过渡金属氧化物中的一些理论进展. 首先介绍烧绿石结构铱氧化物(A₂Ir₂O₇, A=Y或稀土元素)中的Weyl拓扑半金属性. 我们确定出A₂Ir₂O₇这一类具有阻挫结构材料的磁基态, 并预言其是Weyl半金属; 其Weyl 点受到拓扑保护而稳定, 而且它的表面态在费米能级形成特别的费米弧. 其次预言尖晶石结构锇氧化物(AOs₂O₄, A=Ca, Sr)是具有奇异磁电响应的Axion绝缘体; 然后分析了电子关联、自旋轨道耦合对钙钛矿结构的锇氧化物(NaOsO₃)的影响, 并成功定出它的基态磁构型, 最终确定其为Slater绝缘体. 最后介绍了LiOsO₃中铁电金属性的成因.     

等离子体填充金属光子晶体慢波结构色散特性研究

等离子体填充慢波器件为高效率、高功率真空电子微波源的发展提供了新的途径, 但其仿真和理论都具有一定的难度. 本文将通过轮辐天线加载激励信号的方法引入到等离子体填充金属光子晶体慢波结构(SWS)的色散特性仿真分析中, 研究了慢波结构参数和等离子体密度对等离子体填充慢波结构色散特性的影响. 结果表明, 无等离子体填充时, 通过轮辐天线加载激励信号方式得到的色散特性与其他方法差别不大; 与已有结果对比表明, 该方法适用于等离子体填充慢波结构的分析. 为了减小轮辐天线对腔体谐振频率的影响, 需要适当减薄轮辐天线的厚度, 并尽可能缩短其与反射面之间的距离. 天线的厚度越大越能激励慢波场, 越小谐振模式越容易被激励; 慢波结构周期膜片外半径和厚度对色散特性影响不大, 周期长度和膜片内半径对色散特性影响较大; 频率和相速色散曲线随等离子体密度上升而整体向高频区移动; 等离子体填充对低频模点的影响要大于对高频模点的影响; 对于慢波器件, 需要选择高频模点工作模式, 以减少腔的尺寸并降低电子注的初速度.     

Icosahedral medium-range order formed in Mg70Zn30 metallic glass: a larger-scale molecular dynamics simulation

A larger-scale Mg70Zn30 alloy system including 100000 atoms has been simulated by using the molecular dynamics method to investigate the icosahedral medium-range order (IMRO) formed in the Mg70Zn30 metallic glass. It is found that the simulated pair distribution function of Mg70Zn30 metallic glass is in good agreement with the experimental results. The glass transition temperature Tg is near 450 K under the cooling rate of 1×1012 K/s. The icosahedral local structures play a critical role in the formation of metallic glass, and they are the dominant local configurations in the Mg70Zn30 metallic glass. The IMRO in the Mg70Zn30 metallic glass is characterized by certain types of extended icosahedral clusters combined by intercross-sharing atoms in the form of chains or dendrites. The size distributions of these IMRO clusters present a magic number sequence of 19, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39,. . . , and the magic clusters can be classified into three types according to their compactness. The IMRO clusters grow rapidly in a low-dimensional way with cooling, but this growth is limited near Tg.
