In the temperature range from 1423 to 1523 K, ^-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. LaFeSi phase is rarely observed, and the most amount of 1：13 phase is obtained in the compound annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With the annealing temperature increasing to 1573 and 1623 K, LaFeSi is detected again in the LaFell.sSil.s compound. According to the results of annealing at different high-temperatures, the Lal-xCexFelt.sSit.5 compounds are annealed at high temperatures of 1373 K （2 h） ＋ 1523 K （5 h）. The main phase is NaZn13-type phase, and the impurity is a small amount of et-Fe in Lal-xCexFexx.sSil.5 compounds with 0 〈 x 〈 0.35, and there is a large amount of CeaFe17 phase in Lao.sCeo.sFela.sSil.s. It indicates that the substitution of cerium atoms for La in LaFelLsSil.5 compounds has limit. At the same time, the substitution of Ce for La has large effect on magnetocaloric properties. With increasing Ce content from x = 0 to x = 0.35, the Curie temperature decreases linearly from 196 to 168 K, the magnetic entropy change increases from 16.5 to 57.3 J-kg-kK-1 in a low magnetic field change of 0-2 T, and the thermal hysteresis also increases from 3 K to 8 K.展开更多

In addition, the M1＋30 wt.%M2 composites were successively prepared by using high-energy ball milling technology. From the X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis, it was found that M1 and M2 alloys still retained their respective main phases in the MI＋30 wt.%M2 composites. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） indicated that the decrease in discharge capacity of MI and M2 alloy electrodes was ascribed to the oxidation-dissolution of La, Pr, Mg and Ti, Mn, V, Cr active elements, respectively. The electrochemical studies showed that the M1＋30 wt.%M2 composite electrode ball milling for 5 rain exhibited excellence cyclic stability （92.3%） after 80 charge/discharge cycles, which was higher than 77.7 % and 85.6% of MI and M2 alloy electrodes, respectively. Moreover, at the discharge current density of 1200 mA/g, the high rate dis- charge ability （HRD） of the M1＋30 wt.%M2 composite electrode increased from 61.5% （5 rain） to 70.3% （10 rain）. According to the linear polarization, Tafel polarization and cyclic voltammograms （CV）, the electrochemical kinetics of hydrogen reaction on the sur- face of the electrode and hydrogen diffusion rate in the bulk of alloy were also improved in the ML＋30 wt.%M2composite with in- creasing ball milling time.展开更多

For both closed and open classical orbits, the non-integer angular-momentum quantization with the level space of angular momentum being greater or less than h is determined uniquely by the same rotational symmetry of classical orbits and probability clouds of coherent wave functions, which is not necessarily 27r-periodic. The gauge potential of a magnetic flux impenetrable to the particle cannot change the quantization rule but is able to shift the spectrum of canonical angular momentum by a flux-dependent value, which results in a common topological phase for all wave functions in the given model. The well-known quantum mechanical anyon model becomes a special case of the arbitrary quantization, where the classical orbits are 2π-periodic.展开更多

It involves the vaporization and the following plasma shielding effect on the whole ablation process. As an example of Si target, we obtain the time evolution of the calculated surface temperature, ablation rate and ablation depth. It can be seen that plasma shielding plays a more important role in the ablation process with time. At the same time, the ablation depth with laser ftuence based on different models is shown. Moreover, we simulate the pulsed laser irradiation Ni target. The evolution of the transmitted intensity and the variation of ablation depth per pulse with laser fluence are performed. Under the same experimental conditions, the numerical results calculated with our thermal model are more in agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

The powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） and microstructure observations show that large amount of 1：13 phase begins to appear in the LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound annealed at 1423 K （5 h）. In the temperature range from 1423 K to 1523 K, the α-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. The LaFeSi phase is rarely observed by XRD when the as-cast compound is annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With annealing temperature increasing to 1573 K, LaFeSi phase is detected again in LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound. In LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed at 1523 K （5 h）, at 1373 K （2 h）＋1523 K （5 h）, and 1523 K （7 h）＋1373 K （2 h）, the impurity phases including small amount of α-Fe and LaFeSi phase reduce in turn. The magnetic measurement shows that LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed by above three processes keep the first-order of magnetic transition behavior, and Tc are both at about 200 K. But the values of the maximal ASM（T, H） of has large difference, they are 9.94, 12.66, and 13.96 J/（kg.K） under a magnetic field of 0- 2 T, respectively.展开更多

It is proved that the coupling level determines stability of the lasers by analyzing the eigenvalue equation. Critical case of locking is discussed via the phase difference equation. Quasi-period and stable states in the two lasers are investigated via varying the current, detuning and coupling level.展开更多

The effect of Na concentrations on the structural and optical properties of ZnO films was studied. As Na concentration increases from 0.0 at% to 16.0 at%, preferential c-axis orientation becomes more and more obvious, and the intensity of the diffraction peaks from （103） increases. The optical band gap Eg value increases from 3.261 to 3.286 eV first and then decreases as Na concentration increases from 0.0 to 2.0 at% and then beyond 2.0 at%. The intensity of all the emissions increases with increasing Na concentration and the origins of the violet emission （wavelength in the 400-407 nm） and the blue emission （wavelength at 473 nm） were discussed in detail.展开更多

The annealing treatment was found to completely transform nitrogen atoms originally arranged in a single substitutional form （C-center）, into a pair form （A-center）, indicated from infrared （IR） spectra. The photoluminescence （PL） spectra revealed that a small fraction of nitrogen atoms remained in C-center form, while some nitrogen atoms in A-center form were further transformed into N3 and H3 center structures. In addition, PL spectra have revealed the existence of two newly observed nitrogen-related structures with zero phonon lines at 611 nm and 711 nm. All these findings above are very helpful in understanding the formation mechanism of natural diamond stones of the Ia-type, which contains nitrogen atoms in an aggregated form.展开更多

The calculations show that at the Sn concentration of^3.1 mol% the GeSn alloy presents a direct band gap. The variation of the band structure are ascribed to the weaker electro-negativity of Sn atoms and a slight charge transfer from Sn atoms to Ge atoms.展开更多

文摘Undoped and Na-doped ZnO films were deposited by sol-gel method.The effects of sodium incorporation on structure,surface morphology and optical constants of the films were investigated.X-ray diffraction patterns show the hexagonal wurtzite polycrystalline structure and that the sodium incorporation leads to the change in the structural characteristics of ZnO films.The SEM observations show that the surface morphology of the films is affected by the sodium incorporation.The transmission spectra show that the average transmittance of the films is above 85% in the visible range.The absorption edge initially blue-shifts and then red-shifts with the increase of Na doping content.The optical constants of these films were calculated using transmission spectra.Refractive indices of the films in the visible range decrease at first and then increase with increasing Na doping content.

文摘TheLa0.5Pr0.2Zr0.1Mg0.2Ni2.75Co0.45Fe0.1Al0.2（M0 and Zr0.65Ti0.35（Mn0.2V0.2Cr0.15Ni0.45）l.76 （M2） hydrogen storage alloys were prepared by inductive melting. In addition, the M1＋30 wt.%M2 composites were successively prepared by using high-energy ball milling technology. From the X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis, it was found that M1 and M2 alloys still retained their respective main phases in the MI＋30 wt.%M2 composites. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） indicated that the decrease in discharge capacity of MI and M2 alloy electrodes was ascribed to the oxidation-dissolution of La, Pr, Mg and Ti, Mn, V, Cr active elements, respectively. The electrochemical studies showed that the M1＋30 wt.%M2 composite electrode ball milling for 5 rain exhibited excellence cyclic stability （92.3%） after 80 charge/discharge cycles, which was higher than 77.7 % and 85.6% of MI and M2 alloy electrodes, respectively. Moreover, at the discharge current density of 1200 mA/g, the high rate dis- charge ability （HRD） of the M1＋30 wt.%M2 composite electrode increased from 61.5% （5 rain） to 70.3% （10 rain）. According to the linear polarization, Tafel polarization and cyclic voltammograms （CV）, the electrochemical kinetics of hydrogen reaction on the sur- face of the electrode and hydrogen diffusion rate in the bulk of alloy were also improved in the ML＋30 wt.%M2composite with in- creasing ball milling time.

文摘We study quantum classical correspondence in terms of the coherent wave functions of a charged particle in two-dimensional central-scalar potentials as well as the gauge field of a magnetic flux in the sense that the probability clouds of wave functions are well localized on classical orbits. For both closed and open classical orbits, the non-integer angular-momentum quantization with the level space of angular momentum being greater or less than h is determined uniquely by the same rotational symmetry of classical orbits and probability clouds of coherent wave functions, which is not necessarily 27r-periodic. The gauge potential of a magnetic flux impenetrable to the particle cannot change the quantization rule but is able to shift the spectrum of canonical angular momentum by a flux-dependent value, which results in a common topological phase for all wave functions in the given model. The well-known quantum mechanical anyon model becomes a special case of the arbitrary quantization, where the classical orbits are 2π-periodic.

文摘A thermal model to describe the high-power nanosecond pulsed laser ablation is presented. It involves the vaporization and the following plasma shielding effect on the whole ablation process. As an example of Si target, we obtain the time evolution of the calculated surface temperature, ablation rate and ablation depth. It can be seen that plasma shielding plays a more important role in the ablation process with time. At the same time, the ablation depth with laser ftuence based on different models is shown. Moreover, we simulate the pulsed laser irradiation Ni target. The evolution of the transmitted intensity and the variation of ablation depth per pulse with laser fluence are performed. Under the same experimental conditions, the numerical results calculated with our thermal model are more in agreement with the experimental data.

文摘The LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds are prepared by arc-melting and then annealed at different high temperatures from 1323 K （5 h） to 1623 K （2 h）. The powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） and microstructure observations show that large amount of 1：13 phase begins to appear in the LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound annealed at 1423 K （5 h）. In the temperature range from 1423 K to 1523 K, the α-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. The LaFeSi phase is rarely observed by XRD when the as-cast compound is annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With annealing temperature increasing to 1573 K, LaFeSi phase is detected again in LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound. In LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed at 1523 K （5 h）, at 1373 K （2 h）＋1523 K （5 h）, and 1523 K （7 h）＋1373 K （2 h）, the impurity phases including small amount of α-Fe and LaFeSi phase reduce in turn. The magnetic measurement shows that LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed by above three processes keep the first-order of magnetic transition behavior, and Tc are both at about 200 K. But the values of the maximal ASM（T, H） of has large difference, they are 9.94, 12.66, and 13.96 J/（kg.K） under a magnetic field of 0- 2 T, respectively.
文摘Abstract We study dynamics in two mutually coupling multi-quantum-well lasers. We carry out theoretical and numerical analysis of synchronization, anti-synchronization, in-phase locking in the two identical lasers but detuning, in detain. It is proved that the coupling level determines stability of the lasers by analyzing the eigenvalue equation. Critical case of locking is discussed via the phase difference equation. Quasi-period and stable states in the two lasers are investigated via varying the current, detuning and coupling level.

文摘Na-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on the glass substrates using sol-gel method. The effect of Na concentrations on the structural and optical properties of ZnO films was studied. As Na concentration increases from 0.0 at% to 16.0 at%, preferential c-axis orientation becomes more and more obvious, and the intensity of the diffraction peaks from （103） increases. The optical band gap Eg value increases from 3.261 to 3.286 eV first and then decreases as Na concentration increases from 0.0 to 2.0 at% and then beyond 2.0 at%. The intensity of all the emissions increases with increasing Na concentration and the origins of the violet emission （wavelength in the 400-407 nm） and the blue emission （wavelength at 473 nm） were discussed in detail.

文摘Catechol adsorbed on TiO_(2)is one of the simplest models to explore the relevant properties of dye-sensitized solar cells.However,the effects of water and defects on the electronic levels and the excitonic properties of the catechol/TiO_(2)interface have been rarely explored.Here,we investigate four catechol/TiO_(2)interfaces aiming to study the influence of coverage,water,and defects on the electronic levels and the excitonic properties of the catechol/TiO_(2)interface through the first-principles many-body Green’s function theory.We find that the adsorption of catechol on the rutile(110)surface increases the energies of both the TiO_(2)valence band maximum and conduction band minimum by approximately 0.7 eV.The increasing coverage and the presence of water can reduce the optical absorption of charge-transfer excitons with maximum oscillator strength.Regarding the reduced hydroxylated TiO_(2)substrate,the conduction band minimum decreases greatly,resulting in a sub-bandgap of 2.51 eV.The exciton distributions in the four investigated interfaces can spread across several unit cells,especially for the hydroxylated TiO2substrate.Although the hydroxylated TiO_(2)substrate leads to a lower open-circuit voltage,it may increase the separation between photogenerated electrons and holes and may therefore be beneficial for improving the photovoltaic efficiency by controlling its concentration.Our results may provide guidance for the design of highly efficient solar cells in future.

文摘In this paper, we have reported an investigation on the evolution of nitrogen structures in diamond crystals which contain nitrogen donor atoms in the range of 1500 ppm-1600 ppm following an annealing treatment at a high pressure of about 6.5 GPa and high temperatures of 1920 K-2120 K. The annealing treatment was found to completely transform nitrogen atoms originally arranged in a single substitutional form （C-center）, into a pair form （A-center）, indicated from infrared （IR） spectra. The photoluminescence （PL） spectra revealed that a small fraction of nitrogen atoms remained in C-center form, while some nitrogen atoms in A-center form were further transformed into N3 and H3 center structures. In addition, PL spectra have revealed the existence of two newly observed nitrogen-related structures with zero phonon lines at 611 nm and 711 nm. All these findings above are very helpful in understanding the formation mechanism of natural diamond stones of the Ia-type, which contains nitrogen atoms in an aggregated form.

文摘Using hybrid-functional first-principles calculation combined with the supercell method and band unfolding technique we investigate the band structure of non-strained Ge1-xSnx alloys with various Sn concentrations. The calculations show that at the Sn concentration of^3.1 mol% the GeSn alloy presents a direct band gap. The variation of the band structure are ascribed to the weaker electro-negativity of Sn atoms and a slight charge transfer from Sn atoms to Ge atoms.

文摘Based on the generalized coupled nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation,we obtain the analytic four-bright–bright soliton solution by using the Hirota bilinear method.The interactions among four solitons are also studied in detail.The results show that the interaction among four solitons mainly depends on the values of solution parameters;k1 and k2 mainly affect the two inboard solitons while k3 and k4 mainly affect the two outboard solitons;the pulse velocity and width mainly depend on the imaginary part of ki(i=1,2,3,4),while the pulse amplitude mainly depends on the real part of ki(i=1,2,3,4).

文摘The La0.55Pr0.05Nd0.15Mg0.25Ni3.5（Co0.5Al0.5）x（x=0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5） alloys were prepared by magnetic levitation melting under an Ar atmosphere, and the effects of Co and Al on the hydrogen storage and electrochemical properties were systematically investigated by pressure composition isotherms, cyclic voltammetry, Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy testing. The results showed that the alloy phases were mainly consisted of （La,Pr）（Ni,Co）5, LaMg2Ni9, （La,Nd）2Ni7 and LaNi3 phases, and the cell volumes of （La,Pr）（Ni,Co）5, LaMg2Ni9, （La,Nd）2Ni7 and LaNi3 phases expanded with Co and Al element added. The hydrogen storage capacity initially increased from 1.36 （x=0） to 1.47 wt.% （x=0.3） and then decreased to 1.22 wt.% （x=0.5）. The discharge capacity retention and cycle stability of the alloy electrodes were improved with the increase of Co and Al contents. The La0.55Pr0.05Nd0.15Mg0.25Ni3.5（Co0.5Al0.5）0.3 alloy electrode possessed better electrochemical kinetic characteristic.

文摘Self-assembled InAs quantum wires(QWRs)are fabricated on an InP substrate by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy(SSMBE).Photoluminescence(PL)spectra are investigated in these nanostructures as a function of temperature.An anomalous enhancement of PL intensity and a temperature insensitive PL emission are observed from InAs nanostructures grown on InP substrates using InAlGaAs as the matrix layer and the origin of this phenomenon is discussed.We attribute the anomalous temperature dependence of photoluminescence to the formation of Al-rich and In-rich region in the InAlGaAs buffer layer and the cap layer.

文摘The colourless IaA-type gem-quality diamond crystals containing a high concentration of nitrogen(1500–1700 ppm)were successfully prepared by annealing the as-grown Ib-type N-doped diamonds at a high temperature and high pressure in China-type cubic anvil high-pressure apparatus.Experiments were carried out at pressures of 6.5–7.0 GPa and temperatures from 1900 K to 2100 K.Annealing treatment on high-level N-doped diamond crystals shows that the colour of the diamond crystals is obviously reduced from green to colourless after annealing treatment within 1 h at a higher temperature,which is induced by nitrogen aggregation in the diamond lattice indicated by infrared(IR)spectroscopy.It is further revealed that active energy of the nitrogen atom transforming from the dispersed form to the aggregated form is much lower than that in the standard Ib-type diamond crystals with nitrogen concentration less than 300 ppm.The colourless IaA-type diamond crystal prepared by annealing at 2100 K displays the same properties in IR spectra as the high-quality natural diamonds which are classified into the IaA type.
