An accurate analytical surface potential model of heterojunction tunnel FET

Based on the accurate and efficient thermal injection method, we develop a fully analytical surface potential model for the heterojunction tunnel field-effect transistor(H-TFET). This model accounts for both the effects of source depletion and inversion charge, which are the key factors influencing the charge, capacitance and current in H-TFET. The accuracy of the model is validated against TCAD simulation and is greatly improved in comparison with the conventional model based on Maxwell–Boltzmann approximation. Furthermore, the dependences of the surface potential and electric field on biases are well predicted and thoroughly analyzed.

Two-colour coherent control of multiphoton ionization： a comparison between long-range and short-range potential model atoms

Using the numerical solution of the time-dependent SchrSdinger equation of a one-dimensional model atom in a two-colour laser field, we have investigated the effects of the potential models on coherent control of atomic multiphoton ionization. It is found that the photoelectron spectra are obviously different for the long-range （Coulomb-like） and short-range （with no excited bound states） potential model atoms, which are produced by two-colour coherent control of atomic multiphoton ionization in a few laser cycles. Our results indicate that two-colour coherent control of atomic multiphoton ionization can be observed in simulations, depending on the choice of the model potentials.

Theoretical uncertainties of(d,^(3)He)and(^(3)He,d)reactions owing to the uncertainties of optical model potentials

The theoretical uncertainties of single proton transfer cross sections of the(^(3)He,d)and(d,^(3)He)reactions,owing to the uncertainties of the entrance-and exit-channel optical model potentials,are examined with the^(30)Si(^(3)He,d)^(31)P,^(13)B(d,^(3)He)^(12)Be,and^(34)S(^(3)He,d)^(35)Cl reactions at incident energies of 25,46,and 25 MeV,respectively,within the framework of the distorted wave Born approximation.The differential cross sections at the first peaks in the angular distributions of these reactions are found to have uncertainties of approximately 5%,owing to the uncertainties in the optical model potentials from 20,000 calculations of randomly sampled parameters.This amount of uncertainty is found to be nearly independent of the angular momentum transfer and the target masses within the studied range of incident energies.Uncertainties in the single proton spectroscopic factors obtained by matching the theoretical and experimental cross sections at different scattering angles are also discussed.

Application of a microscopic optical potential of chiral effective field theory in (p, d) transfer reactions

The microscopic global nucleon–nucleus optical model potential(OMP)proposed by Whitehead,Lim,and Holt,the WLH potential(Whitehead et al.,Phys Rev Lett 127:182502,2021),which was constructed in the framework of many-body per-turbation theory with state-of-the-art nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory(EFT),was tested with(p,d)transfer reactions calculated using adiabatic wave approximation.The target nuclei included both stable and unstable nuclei,and the incident energies reached 200 MeV.The results were compared with experimental data and predictions using the phenomenological global optical potential of Koning and Delaroche,the KD02 potential.Overall,we found that the micro-scopic WLH potential described the(p,d)reaction angular distributions similarly to the phenomenological KD02 potential;however,the former was slightly better than the latter for radioactive targets.On average,the obtained spectroscopic factors(SFs)using both microscopic and phenomenological potentials were similar when the incident energies were below approxi-mately 120 MeV.However,their difference tended to increase at higher incident energies,which was particularly apparent for the doubly magic target nucleus 40Ca.

Bottomonium states versus recent experimental observations in the QCD-inspired potential model

In the QCD-inspired potential model where the quark-antiquark interaction consists of the usual one- gluon-exchange and the mixture of long-range scalar and vector linear confining potentials with the lowest order relativistic correction, we investigate the mass spectra and electromagnetic processes of a bottomonium system by using the Gaussian expansion method. It reveals that the vector component of the mixing confinement is anticonfining and takes around 18.51% of the confining potential. Combining the new experimental data released by Belle, BaBar and LHC, we systematically discuss the energy levels of the bottomouium states and make the predictions of the electromagnetic decays for further experiments.

Two-proton radioactivity within Coulomb and proximity potential model

Considering the preformation probability of the two emitted protons in the parent nucleus,we extend the Coulomb and proximity potential model(CPPM)to systematically study two-proton(2p)radioactivity half-lives of the nuclei close to proton drip line.The proximity potential chosen is Prox.81 proposed by Blocki et al.in 1981.Furthermore,we apply this model to predict the half-lives of possible 2p radioactive candidates whose 2p radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in the evaluated nuclear properties table NUBASE2016.The predicted results are in good agreement with those from other theoretical models and empirical formulas,namely the effective liquid drop model(ELDM),generalized liquid drop model(GLDM),Gamow-like model,Sreeja formula and Liu formula.

Comparison of Ten Potential Evapotranspiration Models and Their Attribution Analyses for Ten Chinese Drainage Basins

Potential evapotranspiration(EPET)is usually calculated by empirical methods from surface meteorological variables,such as temperature,radiation and wind speed.The in-situ measured pan evaporation(ETpan)can also be used as a proxy for EPET.In this study,EPET values computed from ten models are compared with observed ETpan data in ten Chinese river basins for the period 1961−2013.The daily observed meteorological variables at 2267 stations are used as the input to those models,and a ranking scheme is applied to rank the statistical quantities(ratio of standard deviations,correlation coefficient,and ratio of trends)between ETpan and modeled EPET in different river basins.There are large deviations between the modeled EPET and the ETpan in both the magnitude and the annual trend at most stations.In eight of the basins(except for Southeast and Southwest China),ETpan shows decreasing trends with magnitudes ranging between−0.01 mm d−1 yr−1 and−0.03 mm d−1 yr−1,while the decreasing trends in modeled EPET are less than−0.01 mm d−1 yr−1.Inter comparisons among different models in different river basins suggest that PETHam1 is the best model in the Pearl River basin,PETHam2 outperforms other models in the Huaihe River,Yangtze River and Yellow River basins,and PETFAO is the best model for the remaining basins.Sensitivity analyses reveal that wind speed and sunshine duration are two important factors for decreasing EPET in most basins except in Southeast and Southwest China.The increasing EPET trend in Southeast China is mainly attributed to the reduced relative humidity.

Molecular properties and potential energy function model of BH under external electric field

Using the density functional B3P86/cc-PV5Z method, the geometric structure of BH molecule under different external electric fields is optimized, and the bond lengths, dipole moments, vibration frequencies, and other physical properties parameters are obtained. On the basis of setting appropriate parameters, scanning single point energies are obtained by the same method and the potential energy curves under different external fields are also obtained. These results show that the physical property parameters and potential energy curves may change with external electric field, especially in the case of reverse direction electric field. The potential energy function without external electric field is fitted by Morse potential, and the fitting parameters are obtained which are in good agreement with experimental values. In order to obtain the critical dissociation electric parameter, the dipole approximation is adopted to construct a potential model fitting the corresponding potential energy curve of the external electric field. It is found that the fitted critical dissociation electric parameter is consistent with numerical calculation, so that the constructed model is reliable and accurate. These results will provide important theoretical and experimental reference for further studying the molecular spectrum, dynamics, and molecular cooling with Stark effect.

The Nucleon-Actinide Global Optical Model Potential Below 300 MeV

A set of new global phenomenological optical model potential parameters has been obtained in the mass range of target nuclei 220≤A≤260 with incident energies below 300 MeV, by simultaneously fitting the experimental data of 232Th and 23Su, and these potential parameters are analyzed and used to calculate the reaction cross sections, energy spectra and double differ- ential cross sections for p＋232Th reaction. Comparison of calculated results using these potential parameters with available experimental data shows that the present form of global optical model potential could reproduce experimental data for both the neutron and the proton.

Astrophysical S-factor and reaction rate for 15N(p,γ)16O within the modified potential cluster model

We study radiative p^(15)N capture on the ground state of ^(16)O at stellar energies within the framework of a modified potential cluster model(MPCM)with forbidden states,including low-lying resonances.The investigation of the ^(15)N(p,γ0)^(16)O reaction includes the consideration of ^(3)S_(1) resonances due to E1 transitions and the contribution of the ^(3)P_(1) scattering wave in the p+^(15)N channel due to the ^(3)P_(1)→^(3)P_(0)M1 transition.We calculated the astrophysical low-energy S-factor,and the extrapolated S(0)turned out to be within 34.7−40.4 keV·b.The important role of the asymptotic constant(AC)for the ^(15)N(p,γ0)16O process with interfering ^(3)S_(1)(312)and ^(3)S_(1)(962)resonances is elucidated.A comparison of our calculation for the S-factor with existing experimental and theoretical data is addressed,and a reasonable agreement is found.The reaction rate is calculated and compared with the existing rates.It has negligible dependence on the variation of AC but shows a strong impact of the interference of ^(3)S_(1)(312)and ^(3)S_(1)(962)resonances in reference to the CNO Gamow windows,especially at low temperatures.We estimate the contribution of cascade transitions to the reaction rate based on the exclusive experimental data from Phys.Rev.C.85,065810(2012).The reaction rate enhancement due to the cascade transitions is observed from T_(9)>0.3 and reaches the maximum factor~1.3 at T_(9)=1.3.We present the Gamow energy window and a comparison of rates for radiative proton capture reactions ^(12)N(p,γ)^(13)O,^(13)N(p,γ)^(14)O,^(14)N(p,γ)^(15)O,and ^(15)N(p,γ)^(16)O obtained in the framework of the MPCM and provide the temperature windows,prevalence,and significance of each process.

Systematic investigation of nucleon optical model potentials in(p,d)transfer reactions

The consistent three-body model reaction methodology(TBMRM)proposed by J.Lee et al.[Phys.Rev.C 69,064313(2004);Phys.Rev.C 73,044608(2006);Phys.Rev.C 75,064320(2007)],which includes adopting the simple zero-range adiabatic wave approximation,constraining the single-particle potentials using modern Hartree-Fock calculations,and using global nucleon optical model potential(OMP)geometries,are widely applied in systematic studies of transfer reactions.In this study,we investigate the influence of different nucleon OMPs in extracting spectroscopic factors(SFs)from(p,d)reactions.Our study covers 32 sets of angular distribution data of(p,d)reactions on four targets and a large range of incident energies(20-200 MeV/nucleon).This study uses two semi-microscopic nucleon OMPs,i.e.,Jeukenne,Lejeune,and Mahaux(JLM)[Phys.Rev.C 16,80(1977);Phys.Rev.C 58,1118(1998)]and CTOM[Phys.Rev.C 94,034606(2016)],and a pure microscopic nucleon potential,i.e.,WLH[Phys.Rev.Lett.127,182502(2021)].The results are compared with those using the phenomenological global optical potential KD02[Nucl.Phys.A 713,231(2003)].We find that the incident energy dependence of spectroscopic factors extracted from(p,d)reactions is evidently suppressed when microscopic OMPs are employed for ^(12)C,^(28)Si,and 40Ca.In addition,spectroscopic factors extracted using the systematic microscopic optical potential CTOM based on the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory are more in line with the results obtained from(e,e′p)measurements,except for 16O and ^(40)Ca at high energies(>100 MeV),necessitating an exact treatment of double-magic nuclei.The results obtained by using the pure microscopic optical potential,WLH,based on the EFT theory show the same trend as those of CTOM but are generally higher.The JLM potential,which relies on simplified nuclear matter calculations with old-fashioned bare interactions,produces results that are very similar to those of the phenomenological potential KD02.Our results indicate that modern microscopic OMPs are reliable tools for probing the nuclear structure using transfer reactions across a wide energy range.

Al-doping influence on crystal growth of Ni–Al alloy: Experimental testing of a theoretical model

Recently, a condensing potential model was developed to evaluate the crystallization ability of bulk materials [Ye X X, Ming C, Hu Y C and Ning X J 2009 J. Chem. Phys. 130 164711 and Peng K, Ming C, Ye X X, Zhang W X, Zhuang J and Ning X J 2011 Chem. Phys. Lett. 501 330], showing that the best temperature for single crystal growth is about0.6Tm, where Tm is the melting temperature, and for Ni–Al alloy, more than 6 wt% of Al-doping will badly reduce the crystallization ability. In order to verify these predictions, we fabricated Ni–Al films with different concentrations of Al on Si substrates at room temperature by pulsed laser deposition, and post-annealed the films at 833, 933, 1033（- 0.6Tm）,1133, and 1233 K in vacuum furnace, respectively. The x-ray diffraction spectra show that annealing at 0.6Tm is indeed best for larger crystal grain formation, and the film crystallization ability remarkably declines with more than 6-wt% Al doping.

Recursion-transform method and potential formulae of the m×n cobweb and fan networks

In this paper, we made a new breakthrough, which proposes a new recursion–transform（RT） method with potential parameters to evaluate the nodal potential in arbitrary resistor networks. For the first time, we found the exact potential formulae of arbitrary m × n cobweb and fan networks by the RT method, and the potential formulae of infinite and semi-infinite networks are derived. As applications, a series of interesting corollaries of potential formulae are given by using the general formula, the equivalent resistance formula is deduced by using the potential formula, and we find a new trigonometric identity by comparing two equivalence results with different forms.

Investigation on the influence of atomic potentials on the above threshold ionization

We systematically investigate the influence of atomic potentials on the above-threshold ionization （ATI） spectra in one-dimensional （1D） cases and compare them with the three-dimensional （3D） case by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrrdinger equation. It is found that the direct ionization plateau and the rescattering plateau of the ATI spectrum in the 3D case can be well reproduced by the 1D ATI spectra calculated from the supersolid-core potential and the soft-core potential, respectively. By analyzing the factors that affect the yield of the ATI spectrum, we propose a modified-potential with which we can reproduce the overall 3D ATI spectrum. In addition, the influence of the incident laser intensities and frequencies on the ATI spectra calculated from the proposed modified potential is studied.

Revealing the role of electrode potential micro-environments in single Mn atoms for carbon dioxide and oxygen electrolysis

Elucidation the relationship between electrode potentials and heterogeneous electrocatalytic reactions has attracted widespread attention.Herein we construct the well-defined Mn single-atom(MnSA)catalyst with four N-coordination through a simple thermal pyrolysis preparation method to investigate the electrode potential micro-environments effect on carbon dioxide reduction reactions(CO_(2)RR)and oxygen reduction reactions(ORR).MnSA catalysts generate higher CO production Faradaic efficiency of exceeding 90%at-0.9 V for CO_(2)RR and higher H_(2)O_(2)yield from 0.1 to 0.6 V with excellent ORR activity.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations based on constant potential models were performed to study the mechanism of MnSA on CO_(2)RR.The thermodynamic energy barrier of CO_(2)RR is lowest at-0.9 V vs.reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE).Similar DFT calculations on the H_(2)O_(2)yield of ORR showed that the H_(2)O_(2)yield at 0.2 V was higher.This study provides a reasonable explanation for the role of electrode potential micro-environments.

Systematic study of cluster radioactivity in trans-lead nuclei with various versions of proximity potential formalisms

In this study,based on the framework of the Coulomb and proximity potential model(CPPM),we systematically investigate the cluster radioactivity half-lives of 26 trans-lead nuclei by considering the cluster preformation probability,which possesses a simple mass dependence on the emitted cluster according to R.Blendowske and H.Walliser[Phys.Rev.Lett.61,1930(1988)].Moreover,we investigate 28 different versions of the proximity potential formalisms,which are the most complete known proximity potential formalisms proposed to describe proton radioactivity,two-proton radioactivity,αdecay,heavy-ion radioactivity,quasi-elastic scattering,fusion reactions,and other applications.The calculated results show that the modified forms of proximity potential 1977,denoted as Prox.77-12,and proximity potential 1981,denoted as Prox.81,are the most appropriate proximity potential formalisms for the study of cluster radioactivity,as the root-mean-square deviation between experimental data and relevant theoretical results obtained is the least;both values are 0.681.For comparison,the universal decay law(UDL)proposed by Qi et al.[Phys.Rev.C 80,044326(2009)],unified formula of half-lives forαdecay and cluster radioactivity proposed by Ni et al.[Phys.Rev.C 78,044310(2008)],and scaling law(SL)in cluster radioactivity proposed by Horoi et al.[J.Phys.G 30,945(2004)]are also used.In addition,utilizing CPPM with Prox.77-12,Prox.77-1,Prox.77-2,and Prox.81,we predict the half-lives of 51 potential cluster radioactive candidates whose cluster radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in NUBASE2020.The predicted results are in the same order of magnitude as those obtained using the compared semi-empirical and/or empirical formulae.At the same time,the competition betweenαdecay and cluster radioactivity of these predicted nuclei is discussed.By comparing the half-lives,this study reveals thatαdecay predominates.

Systematic study of global optical model potentials in(d,p)transfer reactions

In the T-matrix form of the transfer reaction,the optical model potentials(OMPs)are used to compute the scattering wave function and transition operator.For most cases,the elastic scattering cross sections,normally used to generate the OMPs,are not directly given in the same experiment.Then,the global OMPs,which fit the experimental data over a broad mass and energy range,are widely used in the theoretical calculations.Different sets of global OMPs with different parameter sets can reproduce the scattering cross section equally well within the uncertainty.Here,we apply different global OMPs to calculate the(differential)cross sections of(d,p)transfer reactions on the target nuclei^(12)C,^(48)Ca,^(124)Sn,and^(208)Pb at different energies.The results demonstrate that the effects of deuteron and nucleon global OMPs on transfer(differential)cross sections vary with energy and target mass.Furthermore,the influences of the spin-orbit coupling term of deuteron and nucleon global OMPs on the transfer cross sections are not negligible.

Estimation of radiative capture^(13)B(n,γ0+1)^(14)B reaction rate in the modified potential cluster model

We discuss current attempts to employ the modified potential cluster model to describe the available experimental data on the^(13)B(n,γ0+1)^(14)B total cross-sections.The estimated results of the M1 and E1 transitions from the n^(13)B scattering states to the ground and first excited states of^(14)B are presented.The 1st resonance at Ex=1.275 MeV(1+)is revealed in both the cross-section and reaction rate.Within the variation in the asymptotic constant,a thermal cross-section interval of 5.1-8.9 mb is proposed.Based on the theoretical total cross-sections at energies of 0.01 eV to 5 MeV,we calculate the reaction rate in the temperature range of 0.01 to 10T9.The ignition T9 values of the^(13)B(n,γ0+1)^(14)B reaction depending on a neutron number density n_(n)of~10^(22)cm^(−3)are determined.The radiative neutron capture reaction rates on the boron^(10-13)B and carbon^(12-14)Сisotopes are compared.

Simulation of Droplet Impact onto Horizontal and Inclined Solid Surfaces with Lattice-Boltzmann Method

In this paper,the lattice-Boltzmann method is used to investigate the droplet dynamics after impact on horizontal and inclined solid surface. The two-phase interparticle potential model is employed. The model is found to possess a linear relation between the macroscopic properties( surface tension σ and contact angle α)and microscopic parameters( G,G t). The flow state of the droplet on the surface is analyzed in detail,and the effects of surface characteristic,impact velocity,impact angle,the viscosity and surface tension of the liquid are investigated,respectively. It is shown that the lattice-Boltzmann method can not only track exactly and automatically the interface,but also the simulation results have a good qualitative agreement with ones of the previous experimental and numerical studies.
