Intense laser field effects on the electron Raman scattering in a strained InGaN/GaN quantum well

The differential cross-section for an intersubband electron Raman scattering process in a strained InGaN/GaN quantum well in the presence of an intense laser field is studied. In the effective-mass approximation, the electronic structure is calculated by taking into account the effects of spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization fields on the confinement potential. Effects of laser field strength, indium composition and the well width on the differential cross-section of the strained quantum well are investigated. Results show that the position and the magnitude of the peaks of emission spectra considerably depend on the laser field strength as well as structural parameters.     

Polymerization in a magnetic field. X. Solvent effect in poly(methyl methacrylate) synthesis

The effect of a continuous external magnetic field on the free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate was studied with respect to some properties of the solvents used in the reaction. The studies were performed through dilatometric technique in and out a magnetic field of 0.25 T. Ten different solvents were used to underline the dependence between the magnetic field presence, the reaction medium, and the development of the polymerization process. The intervened magnetokinetic effects are attributed to the changes in the multiplicity of the radical pairs owing to the magnetic field influence. There is an interdependence among the viscosity and molar polarization of the solvents and the magnetic field effect. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chain elastic modulus of polyethylene: A spectroscopically determined force field (SDFF) study

Our SDFF for linear saturated hydrocarbon chains has been used to calculate the chain modulus of isolated and crystalline chains of n-alkanes of varying lengths. This has been done for static deformations and for the dynamic deformation in the longitudinal acoustic mode (LAM). Extrapolation to infinite chain length gives a common value of the room-temperature crystal modulus of 303 GPa (also obtained in an infinite chain calculation). Experimental Raman LAM measurements, corrected for chain-end interactions, give a modulus of 305 GPa, in excellent agreement. Problems with the experimental values obtained by inelastic neutron scattering and x-ray diffraction are discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

交变电场作用下骨表面温升的实验研究

骨具有力电性质,这一性质可促进骨组织生长。骨既是生理器官又是介电材料,在交变电场作用下,其表现行为可能有生理作用。为此,本文测量了骨悬臂梁试样在交变电场下的表面温升与顶端挠度。发现在电压70V,频率为10~70kHz的交流电场下,最大表面温升达到2~4℃,最大挠度变化为9.0~78.7μm;在频率10kHz,电压为70~175V的交流电场下,最大表面温升达到4~6℃,最大挠度变化为13.0~114.3μm。同时测量了两种经典介电材料有机玻璃和聚乙烯在交变电场下的温升与顶端挠度,最大温升低于0.5℃,但是挠度与骨试样相当,所以相对高温升是骨特有的性质。将交流电压有效值替换成相同幅值的直流电压时,最大温升也低于0.5℃,基本没有挠度变化,所以相对的高温升反映了骨的交流性质。分析后认为,骨在交变电场作用下的温升由胶原的介电损耗引起。实验数据显示,骨在交变电场下,表面温度变化与加载电压的平方成正比,且在实验加载的10~70kHz频段内,骨的介电常数随频率的变化明显。     

Tunable electronic and optical properties of SnC/BAs heterostructure by external electric field and vertical strain

Based on the first-principles method, we investigate the electronic structure of SnC/BAs van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure and find that it has an intrinsic type-II band alignment with a direct band gap of 0.22 eV, which favors the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The band gap can be effectively modulated by applying vertical strain and external electric field, displaying a large alteration of band gap via the strain and experiencing an indirect-to-direct band gap transition. Moreover, the band gap of the heterostructure varies almost linearly with external electric field, and the semiconductor-to-metal transition can be realized in the presence of a strong electric field. The calculated band alignment and the optical absorption reveal that the SnC/BAs heterostructure could present an excellent light-harvesting performance. Our designed heterostructure is expected to have great potential applications in nanoelectronic devices and photovoltaics and optical properties.     

Impurity-related optical response in a 2D and 3D quantum dot with Gaussian confinement under intense laser field

ABSTRACT

Using the two-dimensional (2D) diagonalisation method, the impurity-related electronic states and optical response in a 2D quantum dot with Gaussian confinement potential under nonresonant intense laser field are investigated. The effects of a hydrogenic impurity on the energy spectrum and binding energy of the electron and also intersubband optical absorption are calculated. The obtained numerical results show that the degeneracies of the excited electron states are broken and the absorption spectrum exhibits a redshift with the values of the laser field. The findings indicate a new degree of freedom to tune the performance of novel optoelectronic devices, based on the quantum dots and to control their specific properties by means of intense laser field and hydrogenic donor impurity. Using the same Gaussian confinement model, the electronic properties of a confined electron in the region of a spherical quantum dot are studied under the combined effects of on-centre donor impurity and a linearly polarised intense laser radiation. The three-dimensional problem is used to theoretically model, with very good agreement, some experimental findings reported in the literature related to the photoluminescence peak energy transition.     

Strong Pauli paramagnetic effect in the upper critical field of KCa2Fe4As4F2

Recently, 12442 system of Fe-based superconductors has attracted considerable attention owing to its unique double-Fe As-layer structure. A steep increase in the in-plane upper critical field with cooling has been observed near the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, in KCa2Fe4As4F2 single crystals. Herein, we report a high-field investigation on upper critical field of this material over a wide temperature range, and both out-of-plane(H∥c, Hc2c) and in-plane(H∥ab, Hc2ab ) directions have been measured.A sublinear temperature-dependent behavior is observed for the out-of-plane Hc2c , whereas strong convex curvature with cooling is observed for the in-plane Hc2ab . Such behaviors could not be described by the conventional Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg(WHH) model. The data analysis based on the WHH model by considering the spin aspects reveals a large Maki parameter α=9,indicating that the in-plane upper critical field is affected by a very strong Pauli paramagnetic effect.

用平均场近似研究液晶分子结构与清亮点的关系

液晶的平均场理论假设每个液晶分子都是处在其它周围所有分子的平均作用势场中, 而不考虑该分子与周围各个分子之间的单独关联, 一个分子所感受到的分子场就是所有其它分子给予这个分子的作用场对位置和对取向的平均值. 当周围分子不是完全有序排列时, 其混乱程度可以用序参量S表示(S≤1), 中央一个分子受的势能为－Sg(θ). 其中g(θ)是在排列整齐的平均场中该分子的势能函数的负值. 在此基础上, 可以解一个关于序参量和温度的积分方程, 求出清亮点. 本文采用Gay-Berne势模拟液晶分子的双体势, 用分子力学UFF方法优化液晶分子(二环辛烷和硼笼的衍生物)的单体和双体的构型和能量, 从而获得Gay-Berne势的参数, 得到液晶的清亮点. 计算结果与实验基本一致.     

Enantioselective separation and dissipation of pydiflumetofen enantiomers in grape and soil by supercritical fluid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

Pydiflumetofen is registered in many countries and is widely used in crop production in the racemate form. However, the environmental behavior of the enantiomers has not been studied. An effective and sensitive chiral analytical method was first established for analyzing the pydiflumetofen enantiomers by supercritical fluid chromatography with tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The enantiomers could be separated and detected using the Chiralcel OD‐3 column in less than 3 min. The separation conditions were as follows: mobile phase, CO₂/methanol (80:20); flow rate, 1.0 mL/min; column temperature, 30°C, auto back‐pressure regulator pressure, 2000 psi with modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe sample treatment method. The average recoveries of analytes from both matrices at three spiking levels were in the range of 84.1–103.0%. The limit of quantitation for each enantiomer was 0.005 mg/kg with a baseline resolution of approximately 1.64. The method was applied to monitor the enantioselective dissipation of pydiflumetofen in grape and soil. In grapes, (?)‐pydiflumetofen was degraded more rapidly than (+)‐pydiflumetofen. In soil, (+)‐pydiflumetofen was preferentially degraded. The data provided useful references for the risk assessment and rational use of pydiflumetofen in agriculture.
