21世纪最具潜力的新型带隙材料——声子晶体

半导体发展中遇到的极大障碍,使许多研究人员开始研究光子晶体。然而,声子晶体比光子晶体具有更丰富的物理内涵,它是一种新型声学功能带隙材料。研究声子晶体的重要意义在于其广阔的应用前景,而且在研究过程中,还可能发现新现象和新规律,进而促进物理学的发展。一、什么是声子晶体声子晶体的概念诞生于20世纪90年代,是仿照光子晶体的概念而命名的。我们都知道,具有光子禁带的周期性电介质结构功能材料称为光子晶体,光子能量落在光子禁带中的光波将被禁止,不能在光子晶体中传播。通过对光子晶体周期结构及其缺陷进行设计,可以人为地调控光子…

Origin of the 420 nm Absorption Band and Effect of Doping Fluorine in PbWO4 Crystals

The electronic structures for three types of PbW04 (PWO) crystals, the perfect PWO, the PWO containing lead vacancy (PWO-Vpb) and fluorine doped PWO crystal (F^-：PWO), are systematically studied within the framework of density functional theory. The computational results show that the Pb 6s state situates below the valence band so that Pb^2 ions are unable to trap holes forming Pb^3 or Pb^4 to compensate for VPb^2-. The hole-trappers in PWO-Vpb are O^2- ions. Two of the longer-bond O^2- ions share a hole forming O2^3-, and four of the longer-bond oxygen ions trap two holes forming an associated color centre [O2^3--Vpb-O2^3-], which may be the origin of the 42Onto absorption band. It is also concluded that the doping of F^- would reduce the band gap and F^- ions substituting for O^2- can effectively restrict the formation of [O2^3--Vpb-O2^3-] and weaken the 42Onm absorption band and hence enhance the scintillation property of PWO.

Nano-tribological study on a super-hydrophobic film formed on rough aluminium substrates

A novel super-hydrophobic stearic acid (STA) film with a water contact angle of 166^o was prepared by chemical adsorption on aluminum wafer coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) film. The micro-tribological behavior of the super-hydrophobic STA monolayer was compared with that of the polished and PEI-coated Al surfaces. The effect of relative humidity on the adhesion and friction was investigated as well. It was found that the STA monolayer showed decreased friction, while the adhesive force was greatly decreased by increasing the surface roughness of the Al wafer to reduce the contact area between the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and the sample surface to be tested. Thus the friction and adhesion of the Al wafer was effectively decreased by generating the STA monolayer, which indicated that it could be feasible and rational to prepare a surface with good adhesion resistance and lubricity by properly controlling the surface morphology and the chemical composition. Both the adhesion and friction decreased as the relative humidity was lowered from 65% to 10%, though the decrease extent became insignificant for the STA monolayer.

走近纳米科技

 纳米科技于20世纪70年代兴起,进入21世纪越来越被大家耳熟。纳米科技在促进科技进步,提高社会文明程度,改善人类生存质量,更新对物质世界的认知及观念上扮演了举足轻重的角色。纳米是长度单位。一纳米为一米的十亿分之一,如果你的拇指指甲盖宽14毫米,这个比例就相当于拇指指甲盖宽度与地球直径间的比例。纳米科技所接触、研究、开发的是100纳米～0.1纳米范围内物质的性质和应用。一个分子或一个原子大小的数量级大致在10纳米。因此,纳米科技也可以说是在分子水平上观察、分析、研究物质的物理、化学性质并加以开发利用。

Nanoporous Structure in Low-Dielectric Films with Positronium Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy

We investigate nano-porous structures in thin low-dielectric films, i.e. the pore sizes, distributions, and interconnectivity, by using depth profiled positronium annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). It is found that PALS has good sensitivity to probe both interconnected and closed pores in the range from 0.3nm to 3Onto, even in the film buried beneath a diffusion barrier. A series of low dielectric constant films of organosilicon-silsequioxane with different weight percentages of porogen have been comparatively investigated. The PALS technique can be used to distinguish the open porosity from the closed one, to determine the pore size, and to detect the percolation threshold with the increasing porosity that represents the transition from closed pores to interconnected pores.Furthermore, the pore percolation length can be derived.     

Magnetic and Crystalline Microstructures of Fe-Pt-B Nanocomposite Ribbons

We investigate magnetic and crystalline microstructures of melt-spun (Fe0.675Pt0.325)100-xBx (x=12, 14, 16, 18,20) nanocomposite ribbons after optimal thermal treatment using a magnetic force microscope. The magnetic microstructures are characterized by darker spots adjacent to brighter ones in a sub-micro scale and in random distribution. It is found that the strength of the exchange coupling interaction between the crystals in the 10-100 nm scale, implied by the maximum value (δM)max of the Henkel plot, could be roughly described by the ratio of the average width of the magnetic spots w^- to the average crystal size D^- for the ribbons. Moreover, we find that the intrinsic coercivity jHc of the ribbons is sensitive to their crystal sizes, and the smaller D^-, the higher jHc. Finally, by using roughness analysis, the curve of the root mean square values (δФ)rms of the phase shift of the magnetic force images versus the boron content x is obtained, which is qualitatively consistent with that of the magnetization σ12 kOe of the ribbons versus x.
