包裹团簇的纳米喷射

文章报道了加热包裹团簇（结构为Pb芯／PbO壳）产生纳米喷射。随着温度升高，熔点较低的铅核先熔化并膨胀，冲破氧化层外壳形成蝌蚪状的纳米喷射。温度可变拉曼谱研究表明纳米喷射形成与加热温度密切相关，其本质是与团簇内部压力有关，团簇内核融熔膨胀受到外壳限域而产生极高内压。

采用低能团簇束流淀积(LECBD)装置,在不同温度的衬底上,制备得到不同形貌的锑化铟团簇颗粒,如三角形颗粒、六边形薄片和长方体颗粒等.形貌的差别认为是由锑化铟各向异性生长所致.     

Quantum oscillations and nontrivial transport in(Bi_(0.92)In_(0.08))_2Se_3

Quantum phase transition in topological insulators has drawn heightened attention in condensed matter physics and future device applications.Here we report the magnetotransport properties of single crystalline(Bi_(0.92)In_(0.08))_2Se_3.The average mobility of～1000 cm~2·V~(-1)·s~(-1)is obtained from the Lorentz law at the low field(3 T)up to 50 K.The quantum oscillations rise at a field of～5 T,revealing a high mobility of～1.4×10~4cm~2·V~(-1)·s~(-1)at 2 K.The Dirac surface state is evident by the nontrivial Berry phase in the Landau–Fan diagram.The properties make the(Bi_(0.92)In_(0.08))_2Se_3a promising platform for the investigation of quantum phase transition in topological insulators.     

激光晶化形成纳米硅材料的场电子发射性质研究

利用KrF准分子激光退火超薄非晶硅膜,并结合热退火技术制备了单层纳米硅薄膜并研究了薄膜的场电子发射性质.在晶化形成的纳米硅薄膜中可以观测到稳定的场电子发射现象,其开启电场从原始淀积的非晶硅薄膜的17V/μm降低到8.5V/μm,而场发射电流密度可以达到0.1mA/cm².激光晶化后形成的纳米硅材料的场电子发射特性的改善可以从薄膜表面形貌的改变以及高密度纳米硅的形成所导致的内部电场增强作用来解释. 关键词： 纳米硅 场发射 激光晶化     

Electrical spin polarization through spin-momentum locking in topological-insulator nanostructures

Recently, spin-momentum-locked topological surface states(SSs) have attracted significant attention in spintronics.Owing to spin-momentum locking, the direction of the spin is locked at right angles with respect to the carrier momentum.In this paper, we briefly review the exotic transport properties induced by topological SSs in topological-insulator(TI)nanostructures, which have larger surface-to-volume ratios than those of bulk TI materials. We discuss the electrical spin generation in TIs and its effect on the transport properties. A current flow can generate a pure in-plane spin polarization on the surface, leading to a current-direction-dependent magnetoresistance in spin valve devices based on TI nanostructures.A relative momentum shift of two coupled topological SSs also generates net spin polarization and induces an in-plane anisotropic negative magnetoresistance. Therefore, the spin-momentum locking can enable the broad tuning of the spin transport properties of topological devices for spintronic applications.

A Silicon Cluster Based Single Electron Transistor with Potential Room-Temperature Switching

We demonstrate the fabrication of a single electron transistor device based on a single ultra-small silicon quantum dot connected to a gold break junction with a nanometer scale separation. The gold break junction is created through a controllable electromigration process and the individual silicon quantum dot in the junction is determined to be a Si_(170) cluster. Differential conductance as a function of the bias and gate voltage clearly shows the Coulomb diamond which confirms that the transport is dominated by a single silicon quantum dot. It is found that the charging energy can be as large as 300 meV, which is a result of the large capacitance of a small silicon quantum dot(～1.8 nm). This large Coulomb interaction can potentially enable a single electron transistor to work at room temperature. The level spacing of the excited state can be as large as 10 meV, which enables us to manipulate individual spin via an external magnetic field. The resulting Zeeman splitting is measured and the g factor of 2.3 is obtained, suggesting relatively weak electron-electron interaction in the silicon quantum dot which is beneficial for spin coherence time.     

石墨烯中选择性增强Kane-Mele型自旋-轨道相互作用

增强石墨烯中的自旋-轨道相互作用可能实现无耗散的量子自旋霍尔器件,这需要在石墨烯样品中引入独特的Kane-Mele型自旋-轨道相互作用,并保持较高的迁移率.然而,对石墨烯的外在修饰往往会引入“外禀型”Rashba自旋-轨道相互作用,会破坏可能存在的拓扑态,并带来一定程度的杂质散射,降低样品迁移率.在石墨烯表面修饰EDTA-Dy分子后,载流子迁移率得到了提高,并且可以看到显著的量子霍尔电导平台.其弱局域化效应相比被修饰之前得到了抑制,这意味石墨烯中可能引入了内禀的Kane-Mele型自旋-轨道相互作用,增强了Elliot-Yafet型电子自旋弛豫机制.进一步通过矢量磁体磁阻测量,发现该分子覆盖在石墨烯上后造成了石墨烯微弱的涟漪,这种涟漪引起的弯曲声子效应模拟了Kane-Mele型自旋-轨道相互作用.
