One-dimensional non-nearest-neighbor random walks in the presence of traps

A one-dimensional lattice random walk in the presence ofm equally spaced traps is considered. The step length distribution is a symmetric exponential. An explicit analytic expression is obtained for the probability that the random walk will be trapped at thejth trapping site.     

Tests of quantum electrodynamics using ion traps

Experiments in ion traps on the g factors for the free and the bound electron in low-Z, hydrogen-like ions have provided the most accurate tests of quantum-electrodynamics calculations. Moreover they have been used to determine new and precise values for fundamental constants. Extensions to more stringent tests using ions of higher values of the nuclear charge Z are on the way. Also other QED tests such as Lamb shifts or hyperfine structures in H-like ions using traps will be feasible in the near future. The tests in bound systems, however, will be limited by nuclear structure effects which are difficult to calculate. Assuming the QED calculations as correct, the experimental results may be used to determine nuclear contributions and thus support nuclear models.

约束放电激励千瓦级基模CO2激光器

本文研究了约束放电激励千瓦级基模CO2激光器。约束放电激励的思想核心是:利用正交或基本正交的电场或者电磁场在阴极位降区附近形成对带电粒子的捕集阱,由此产生对放电过程中从阴极发出的带电粒子的约束作用从而影响整个气体放电激励过程。     

Comparative hall measurements on wet- and dry-oxidized 4H-SiC MOSFETs

Hall measurements have been used to compare the properties of 4H-SiC inversion-mode MOSFETs with “wet” and “dry” gate oxides. While the field-effect mobilities were approximately 3–5 cm²/Vs, the Hall mobilities in 4H-SiC MOSFETs in the wet and dry oxide samples were approximately 70–80 cm²/Vs. The dry-oxidized metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) had a higher transconductance, improved threshold voltage, improved subthreshold slope, and a higher inversion carrier concentration compared to the wet-oxidized MOSFETs. The difference in characteristics between the wet- and the dry-oxidized MOSFETs is attributed to the larger fixed oxide charge in the dry oxide sample and a higher interface trap density in the wet oxide sample.

Investigation of the effect of CdCl2 processing on vacuum deposited CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells by DLTS

Thin film CdS/CdTe solar cells have been prepared by conventional vacuum deposition technique. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), temperature and frequency dependent capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were utilised to investigate the performance limiting defect states in the CdTe layer subjected to the post deposition treatments such as CdCl₂-dipping and/or annealing in air. Five hole traps, all of which have been previously reported in the literature, were identified in as-grown CdTe at 0.19, 0.20, 0.22, 0.30 and 0.40 eV above the valence band. A single hole trap level has been evidenced at 0.45 eV after both post deposition heat and CdCl₂ treatments.     

Identification of radicals spin-trapped in autoxidized linoleic acids: A high performance liquid chromatography and electron spin resonance study

Radicals generated in linoleic acid and deuterated linoleic acid have been trapped by the spin trap 2-methyl-2-nitroso-propane (MNP) and identified by electron spin resonance (ESR) and ENDOR spectroscopy. The formation of two distinct secondary alkyl radical adducts (one conjugated, the other non-conjugated, as shown by their UV absorption spectra) was demonstrated by 11, 11-dideuterio-9-cis-12-cis-linoleic acid using HPLC and ESR spectroscopy.     

Random walks on inhomogeneous lattices

For lattices with two kinds of points (black and white), distributed according to a translation-invariant joint probability distribution, we study statistical properties of the sequence of consecutive colors encountered by a random walker moving through the lattice. The probability distribution for the single steps of the walk is considered to be independent of the colors of the points. Several exact results are presented which are valid in any number of dimensions and for arbitrary probability distributions for the coloring of the points and the steps of the walk. They are used to derive a few general properties of random walks on lattices containing traps.Presented at the Symposium on Random Walks, Gaithersburg, MD, June 1982.     

Sample decomposition in an electrically heated cold-trap inlet system for high speed gas chromatography

Thermal decomposition of some hydrocarbon and chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds in metal capillary tubes used in an inlet system for high speed gas chromatography has been investigated. The metal tube is cooled to about ?75°C by a flow of cold nitrogen gas in order to focus a vapor sample cryogenically. A capacitive discharge power supply is then used to heat the metal tube resistively in order to revaporize the sample and introduce it to the separation column as a plug 5-10 ms wide. The effects of tube temperature, tube material, sample vapor residence time, and type of carrier gas on thermal cracking are described. Use of a copper-nickel alloy tube resulted in less cracking than either pure platinum or pure nickel. Cracking is more significant with hydrogen as carrier gas than with helium. Cracking also increases with increasing sample residence time in the hot tube. Quantitative sample injection with minimum decomposition can be obtained for a variety of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds.     

Stabilization of an excess electron on molecular surfaces by a pair of HF molecules

This work presents the results of solvation of electrons on several hypothetical cyclooctane and cyclohexane molecular surfaces, using the hydrogen fluoride (HF) dimer. These complexes were constructed with extensive OH groups on one side of a hydrocarbon surface (i.e., cyclohexane sheets), which creates hydrogen‐bonded networks that can form, increasing the dipole moment of the system. Concurrently, the hydrogen atoms on the opposite side of the surface form a pocket of positive charge that can attract excess electrons. Two possible orientations for HF dimer solvation on eight molecular surfaces that have been demonstrated to be stable toward electron detachment are examined. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
