太赫兹时域光谱技术研究S掺杂GaSe晶体的电导率特性

本文采用透射式太赫兹时域光谱技术研究0.3—2.5 THz范围内本征GaSe,S掺杂质量分数为2.5%GaSe(GaSe:S(2.5%))和S掺杂质量分数为7%GaSe(GaSe:S(7%))晶体的电导率特性,并利用Drude-SmithLorentz模型对复电导率进行拟合.研究发现GaSe晶体的电导率实部随S掺杂浓度的增大而减小,主要是由于S掺杂使GaSe晶体的费米能级逐渐向电荷中性能级转移,载流子浓度下降引起的.本征GaSe和GaSe:S(2.5%)在约0.56 THz处有明显的晶格振动峰,而GaSe:S(7%)在0.56 THz附近无晶格振动峰,这主要是由于S掺杂提高了晶体的结构硬度,减弱了晶体的层间刚性振动.且3个样品均在约1.81 THz处存在明显的窄晶格振动峰,强度随S掺杂浓度的增大先减小再增大,主要是由于S掺杂降低了GaSe的局部结构缺陷,减弱了窄晶格振动峰强度,而过量的S掺杂生成β型GaS晶体,进而增加晶体的局部结构缺陷,窄晶格振动峰强度随之增强.GaSe晶体约在1.07 THz和2.28 THz处的宽晶格振动峰强度随S掺杂浓度的增大而减弱甚至消失,主要是由于S掺杂产生...     

Dark matter,neutrino mass,cutoff for cosmic-ray neutrino,and the Higgs boson invisible decay from a neutrino portal interaction

We study an effective theory beyond the standard model(SM) where either of the two additional gauge singlets, a Majorana fermion and a real scalar, constitutes all or some fraction of dark matter. In particular, we focus on the masses of the two singlets in the range of O(10) MeV-O(10) GeV with a neutrino portal interaction, which plays an important role not only in particle physics but also in cosmology and astronomy. We point out that the thermal dark matter abundance can be explained by(co-)annihilation, where the dark matter with a mass greater than 2 GeV can be tested in future lepton colliders, CEPC, ILC, FCC-ee and CLIC, in the light of the Higgs boson invisible decay. When the gauge singlets are lighter than O(100) MeV, the interaction can affect the neutrino propagation in the universe due to its annihilation with cosmic background neutrino into the gauge singlets. Although in this case it can not be the dominant dark matter, the singlets are produced by the invisible decay of the Higgs boson at such a rate which is fully within reach of future lepton colliders. In particular, a high energy cutoff of cosmic-ray neutrino,which may account for the non-detection of Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin(GZK) neutrino or the non-observation of the Glashow resonance, can be set. Interestingly, given the cutoff and the mass(range) of WIMPs, a neutrino mass can be"measured" kinematically.     

基于DNA “Y”型结构的指数型核酸恒温扩增策略检测microRNA

该文基于“Y”型DNA模板和恒温指数扩增反应(EXPAR)技术的信号放大功能,建立了一种快速低序列依赖性的miRNA检测方法(Y-EXPAR)。以let-7b为检测目标,设计两条部分互补的DNA模板,与目标miRNA共同构成“Y”型结构,能够同时进行双向扩增,反应效率高,反应时间短,并降低了放大性能对模板序列的依赖。方法检出限低至0.3 amol/L(相当于10 μL溶液中有1.8拷贝的let-7b),并能区分单碱基差异的let-7家族同源序列。应用于肿瘤细胞裂解液let-7b的检测,POI值与细胞数目对数值呈线性关系,说明Y-EXPAR在实际样品miRNA的检测中具有优势。得益于扩增的高特异性、抗干扰性和低序列依赖性,该方法为miRNA的快速检测提供了新思路,在miRNA相关的疾病研究和临床诊断方面具有良好应用前景。     

Fixed point and anomaly mediation in partial N=2 supersymmetric standard models

Motivated by the simple toroidal compactification of extra-dimensional SUSY theories, we investigate a partial N =2 supersymmetric(SUSY) extension of the standard model which has an N =2 SUSY sector and an N =1 SUSY sector. We point out that below the scale of the partial breaking of N = 2 to N = 1, the ratio of Yukawa to gauge couplings embedded in the original N =2 gauge interaction in the N =2 sector becomes greater due to a fixed point. Since at the partial breaking scale the sfermion masses in the N = 2 sector are suppressed due to the N = 2 non-renormalization theorem, the anomaly mediation effect becomes important. If dominant, the anomaly-induced masses for the sfermions in the N = 2 sector are almost UV-insensitive due to the fixed point. Interestingly, these masses are always positive, i.e. there is no tachyonic slepton problem. From an example model, we show interesting phenomena differing from ordinary MSSM. In particular, the dark matter particle can be a sbino, i.e. the scalar component of the N = 2 vector multiplet of U(1)_Y. To obtain the correct dark matter abundance, the mass of the sbino, as well as the MSSM sparticles in the N =2 sector which have a typical mass pattern of anomaly mediation, is required to be small. Therefore, this scenario can be tested and confirmed in the LHC and may be further confirmed by the measurement of the N = 2 Yukawa couplings in future colliders. This model can explain dark matter, the muon g-2 anomaly, and gauge coupling unification, and relaxes some ordinary problems within the MSSM. It is also compatible with thermal leptogenesis.
