In this model, Schrodinger's equation is solved using the triangular potential well approximation. The carrier density thus obtained is included in the space charge density to obtain quantum carrier confinement effects in the modeling of thin-body devices. Due to the quantum effects, the first subband is higher than the conduction band edge, which is equivalent to the band gap widening. Thus, the barrier heights at the source and drain increase and the carrier concentration decreases as the drain current decreases. The drawback of the existing models,which cannot present an accurate prediction of the drain current because they mainly consider the effects of Schottky barrier lowering (SBL) due to image forces,is eliminated. Our research results suggest that for small nonnegative Schottky barrier (SB) heights,even for zero barrier height, the tunneling current also plays a role in the total on-state currents. Verification of the present model was carried out by the device numerical simulator-Silvaco and showed good agreement.展开更多

Distinct difference between the Raman spectral profiles of two different liquid waters is clearly observed. By analyzing the temperature-dependent Raman spectral contour using global fitting procedure, it is found that the micro-structure of heavy water is more ordered than that of light water at the same temperature, and the structure difference between the light and heavy water decreases with the increase of the temperature. The temperature off- set, an indicator for the structure difference, is determined to vary from 28 ℃ to 18 ℃ for the low-to-high temperature. It indicates that quantum effect is significantly not only at low temperature, but also at room temperature. The interaction energy among water molecules has also been estimated from van't Hoff's relationship. The detailed structural information should help to develop reliable force fields for molecular modeling of liquid water.展开更多

From the Schroedinger equation obtained from this non-relativistic limit, we can see that the classical Newtonian gravitational potential appears as a part of the potential in the Schroedinger equation, which can explain the gravitational phase effects found in COW experiments. And because of this Newtonian gravitational potential, a quantum particle in the earth's gravitational field may form a gravitationally bound quantized state, which has already been detected in experiments. Three different kinds of phase effects related to gravitational interactions are studied in this paper, and these phase effects should be observable in some astrophysical processes. Besides, there exists direct coupling between gravitomagnetic field and quantum spin, and radiation caused by this coupling can be used to directly determine the gravitomagnetic field on the surface of a star.展开更多

In this case, a new technique is applied formulating a differential equation to establish the energy integral in case of multi-component plasmas which is not possible in general. Dust-ion acoustic (DIA) compressive and rarefactive, supersonic and subsonic solitons of various amplitudes are established. The consideration of smaller order nonlinearity in support of the newly established quantum plasma model is observed to generate small amplitude solitons at the decrease of Mach number. The growths of soliton amplitudes and potential depths are found more sensitive to the density of quantum electrons. The small density ratio r(= 1 - f) with a little quantized electrons supplemented by the dust charges Zu and the in-deterministic new quantum parameter C2 are found responsible to finally support the generation of small amplitude solitons admissible for the model.展开更多

Weak-coupling structures offer an effective approach to suppress phonon thermal conductance. The thermoelectric properties of pure C_(3)N_(4) nanoribbon devices and C_(3)N_(4)-C_(20) molecular junctions are systematically investigated based on density functional theory(DFT) combined with nonequilibrium Green's function(NEGF) formalism. The results show that pure C_(3)N_(4) nanoribbon devices have superior charge transport capabilities and excellent Seebeck coefficients. A remarkable thermoelectric figure of merit(ZT = 0.98)is achieved near 0.09 e V. The pronounced scattering effect induced by embedding a C_(20) molecule in the center of the C_(3)N_(4) nanoribbon significantly suppresses phonon transport. A maximum ZT value of 1.68 is observed at 0.987 e V. The electron mobility of C_(3)N_(4)-C_(20)-par is effectively increased due to quantum interference effect which greatly improves the alignment between the C_(20) molecule's frontier orbital energy level and C_(3)N_(4) electrodes. The C_(3)N_(4)-C_(20)-van der Waals(vd W) molecular junction allows very few phonons to pass through the C_(20) molecule from the left electrode to the right electrode. As a result, the C_(3)N_(4)-C_(20)-vd W junction achieves an excellent ZT value of 3.82 near the Femi level.展开更多

First, the corresponding entropy identity is proved, then if the initial data f(x,v,0) satisfies 0≤f(x,v,0)≤CΦ(x,v,0) for a constant 0<C<∞ and function Φ(x,v,t), we prove the existence and uniqueness of spatial decay solutions of the BQE within a given function space B(Φ) using fixed point theory. Moreover, if there is a continuous function F(x,v) which belongs to a function set, then there exists a mild solution f(x,v,t) of the BQE such that f ∞(x,v)= limt→∞f(x+vt,v,t)=F(x,v).展开更多

It is assumed that the initial data f(x,v,0) satisfies 0≤f(x,v,0)≤cΦ(x,v,0) for a positive constant c and certain types of control functions Φ(x,v,t). Then within a given function space B(Φ), we prove that f(x+tv,v,t) uniformly converges to f ∞(x,v) in a certain norm where f ∞(x,v)= limt→∞f(x+tv,v,t) and different initial data determines different long time limits.展开更多

The results obtained show that the new soliton is robust against these structure disorders, especially for stronger disorders in the sequence of masses spring constants and coupling constants,except for quite larger fluctuations of the ground state energy and dipole-dipole interaction constant. This means that the new soliton in the improved model is very stable in normal cases and is possibly a carrier of bio-energy transport in the protein molecules.展开更多

Maximum momentum avoids the problem that the Fermi degenerate pressure blows up since the increase of the Fermi energy is not limited. Applying this equation of state to the Tolman-Oppenheimer Volkoff (TOV) equation, the quantum gravitational effects on the cores of compact stars are discussed. In the center of compact stars, we obtain the singularity-free solution of the metric component, gtt ~-(1 + 0.2185×r^2). By numerically solving the TOV equation, we find that quantum gravity plays an important role in the region r~10^4α0(△x)min. Current observed masses of neutron stars indicate that the dimensionless parameter α0 cannot exceed 10^19.展开更多

The spin Chern-number Cs for energy-bands of trilayer graphene having the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is analytically calculated. We find that for each valley and spin, Cs is three times larger in trilayer graphene as compared to single layer graphene. Since the spin Chern-number corresponds to the number of edge states, consequently the trilayer graphene has edge states, three times more in comparison to single layer graphene. We also study the trilayer graphene in the presence of both electric-field and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and investigate that the trilayer graphene goes through a phase transition from a quantum spin Hall state to a quantum valley Hall state when the strength of the electric field exceeds the intrinsic spin coupling strength. The robustness of the associated topological bulk-state of the trilayer graphene is evaluated by adding various perturbations such as Rashba spin-orbit (RSO) interaction αR, and exchange-magnetization M. In addition, we consider a theoretical model, where only one of the outer layers in trilayer graphene has the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, while the other two layers have zero intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Although the first Chern number is non-zero for individual valleys of trilayer graphene in this model, however, we find that the system cannot be regarded as a topological insulator because the system as a whole is not gaped.展开更多

文摘Recent advancements in two-dimensional van der Waals moir´e materials have unveiled the captivating landscape of moir´e physics.In twisted bilayer graphene(TBG)at‘magic angles’,strong electronic correlations give rise to a diverse array of exotic physical phenomena,including correlated insulating states,superconductivity,magnetism,topological phases,and the quantum anomalous Hall(QAH)effect.Notably,the QAH effect demonstrates substantial promise for applications in electronic and quantum computing devices with low power consumption.This article focuses on the latest developments surrounding the QAH effect in magic-angle TBG.It provides a comprehensive analysis of magnetism and topology—two crucial factors in engineering the QAH effect within magic-angle TBG.Additionally,it offers a detailed overview of the experimental realization of the QAH effect in moir´e superlattices.Furthermore,this review highlights the underlying mechanisms driving these exotic phases in moir´e materials,contributing to a deeper understanding of strongly interacting quantum systems and facilitating the manipulation of new material properties to achieve novel quantum states.

文摘A previous study is continued by investigating the Boltzmann equation for particles with quantum effects (BQE). First, the corresponding entropy identity is proved, then if the initial data f(x,v,0) satisfies 0≤f(x,v,0)≤CΦ(x,v,0) for a constant 0<C<∞ and function Φ(x,v,t), we prove the existence and uniqueness of spatial decay solutions of the BQE within a given function space B(Φ) using fixed point theory. Moreover, if there is a continuous function F(x,v) which belongs to a function set, then there exists a mild solution f(x,v,t) of the BQE such that f ∞(x,v)= limt→∞f(x+vt,v,t)=F(x,v).

文摘The effects of quantum gravity on spectroscopy for the charged rotating gravity’s rainbow are investigated in this paper.By utilizing an action invariant obtained from particles tunneling through the event horizon,the entropy and area spectrum for the modified Kerr-Newman black hole are derived.The equally spaced entropy spectrum characteristic of Bekenstein’s original derivation is recovered.And,the entropy spectrum is independent of the energy of the test particles,although the gravity’s rainbow itself is the energy dependent.Such that,the quantum gravity effects of gravity’s rainbow has no influence on the entropy spectrum.On the other hand,due to the spacetime quantum effects,the obtained area spectrum is different from the original Bekenstein spectrum.It is not equidistant and is dependent on the horizon area.And that,by analyzing the area spectrum from a specific rainbow function,a minimum area with a Planck scale is derived for the event horizon.At this point,the area quantum is zero and the black hole radiation stops.Thus,the black hole remnant for the gravity’s rainbow is obtained from the area quantization.In addition,the entropy for the modified Kerr-Newman black hole is calculated and the quantum correction to the area law is obtained and discussed.

文摘The Boltzmann equations for Fermi-Dirac particles and Bose-Einstein particles, both in the absence of external force fields, are combined into a more general form called the Boltzmann equation with quantum effects (BQE). It is assumed that the initial data f(x,v,0) satisfies 0≤f(x,v,0)≤cΦ(x,v,0) for a positive constant c and certain types of control functions Φ(x,v,t). Then within a given function space B(Φ), we prove that f(x+tv,v,t) uniformly converges to f ∞(x,v) in a certain norm where f ∞(x,v)= limt→∞f(x+tv,v,t) and different initial data determines different long time limits.
文摘Utilizing the improved model with quasi-coherent two-quantum state and new Hamiltonian containing an additional interaction term [Phys. Rev. E62 (2000) 6989 and Euro. Phys. J. B19 (2001) 297] we study numerically the influences of the quantum and disorder effects including distortion of the sequences of masses of amino acid molecules and fluctuations of force constant of molecular chains, and of exciton-phonon coupled constants and of the dipole-dipole interaction constant and of the ground state energy on the properties of the solitons transported the bio-energy in the protein molecules by Runge-Kutta method. The results obtained show that the new soliton is robust against these structure disorders, especially for stronger disorders in the sequence of masses spring constants and coupling constants,except for quite larger fluctuations of the ground state energy and dipole-dipole interaction constant. This means that the new soliton in the improved model is very stable in normal cases and is possibly a carrier of bio-energy transport in the protein molecules.

文摘With hydrogen-like impurity(HLI) located in the center of Cs I quantum pseudodot(QPD) and by using the variational method of Pekar type(VMPT), we investigate the first-excited state energy(FESE), excitation energy and transition frequency of the strongly-coupled bound polaron in the present paper. Temperature effects on bound polaron properties are calculated by employing the quantum statistical theory(QST). According to the present work's numerical results, the FESE, excitation energy and transition frequency decay(amplify) with raising temperature in the regime of lower(higher)temperature. They are decreasing functions of Coulomb impurity potential strength.

文摘In recent years,the study of quantum effects near the event horizon of a black hole(BH)has attracted extensive attention.It has become one of the important methods to explore BH quantum properties using the related properties of a quantum deformed BH.In this work,we study the effect of a quantum deformed BH on the BH shadow in two-dimensional Dilaton gravity.In this model,quantum effects are reflected by the quantum correction parameter m.By calculation,we find that:(1)the shape of the shadow boundary of a rotating BH is determined by the BH spin a,the quantum correction parameter m,and the BH type parameter n;(2)when the spin a=0,the shape of the BH shadow is a perfect circle;when a≠0,the shape is distorted;if the quantum correction parameter m=0,their shapes reduce to the cases of a Schwarzschild BH and Kerr BH,respectively;(3)the degree of distortion of the BH shadow is different for various quantum correction parameters m;with an increase in the parameter m,the boundary of the BH shadow expands;(4)the size of the BH shadow varies greatly with respect to various quantum deformed BHs(n),and the change in BH shadow shape caused by parameter n is similar to that caused by parameter m,which indicates that there is a"degenerate phenomenon"between the two parameters.Because the value of m in actual physics should be very small,the current observations of the event horizon telescope(EHT)cannot distinguish quantum effects from the BH shadow.In future BH shadow measurements,it will be possible to distinguish quantum deformed BHs,which will help to better understand the quantum effects of BHs.

文摘Based on the generalized uncertainty principle with maximum momentum arid minimal length, we discuss the equation of state of ideal ultra-relativistic Fermi gases at zero temperature. Maximum momentum avoids the problem that the Fermi degenerate pressure blows up since the increase of the Fermi energy is not limited. Applying this equation of state to the Tolman-Oppenheimer Volkoff (TOV) equation, the quantum gravitational effects on the cores of compact stars are discussed. In the center of compact stars, we obtain the singularity-free solution of the metric component, gtt ~-(1 + 0.2185×r^2). By numerically solving the TOV equation, we find that quantum gravity plays an important role in the region r~10^4α0(△x)min. Current observed masses of neutron stars indicate that the dimensionless parameter α0 cannot exceed 10^19.

文摘Pb(111)film is a special system that exhibits strong quantum size effects in many electronic properties.The collective excitations,i.e.,plasmons,in Pb(111)films are also expected to show signatures of the quantum size effect.Here,using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy,we measured the plasmons on the surface of Pb(111)films with different film thicknesses and analyzed the plasmon dispersions.One surface plasmon branch exhibits prominent damping in the small momentum range,which can be attributed to the interaction between the top and bottom interfaces of the Pb(111)films.With the film thickness increasing,the critical momentum characterizing the damping in Pb(111)films decays not only much slower in Pb(111)films than in other metal films,and even in films with the thickness up to 40 monolayers the damping still exists.The slow decay of the surface plasmon damping,manifesting the strong quantum size effect in Pb(111)films,might be related to the strong nesting of the Fermi surface along the(111)direction.

文摘The present study pertains to the trilayer graphene in the presence of spin orbit coupling to probe the quantum spin/valley Hall effect. The spin Chern-number Cs for energy-bands of trilayer graphene having the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is analytically calculated. We find that for each valley and spin, Cs is three times larger in trilayer graphene as compared to single layer graphene. Since the spin Chern-number corresponds to the number of edge states, consequently the trilayer graphene has edge states, three times more in comparison to single layer graphene. We also study the trilayer graphene in the presence of both electric-field and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and investigate that the trilayer graphene goes through a phase transition from a quantum spin Hall state to a quantum valley Hall state when the strength of the electric field exceeds the intrinsic spin coupling strength. The robustness of the associated topological bulk-state of the trilayer graphene is evaluated by adding various perturbations such as Rashba spin-orbit (RSO) interaction αR, and exchange-magnetization M. In addition, we consider a theoretical model, where only one of the outer layers in trilayer graphene has the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, while the other two layers have zero intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Although the first Chern number is non-zero for individual valleys of trilayer graphene in this model, however, we find that the system cannot be regarded as a topological insulator because the system as a whole is not gaped.
