All specimens appear mixed texture and (111) texture is the dominate component.As-deposited interconnects undergo the phenomenon of self-annealing at RT,in which some abnormally large grains are found. Lower aspect ratio of lines and anneal treatment procured larger grains and stronger (111) texture. Meanwhile, the intensity proportion of other textures with lower strain energy to (111) texture is decreased. As-deposited specimens reveal (111)(112? and (111) (231) components, (111) (110) component appeared and (111) (112? and (111) (231) components were developed during the annealing process. High angle boundaries are dominant in all specimens, boundaries with a misorientation of 55°-60° and ∑3 ones in higher proportion, followed by lower boundaries with a misorientation of 35°-40° and 29 boundaries. As the aspect ratio of lines and anneal treatment increase,there is a gradual in- crement in ∑3 boundaries and a decrease in ∑9 boundaries.展开更多

We End that there are two energy bands for each component. The critical condition of the superfluid-Mott insulator phase transition is determined by the energy band structure. We also find that the nearest neighboring and on-site interactions fail to change the structure of energy bands, but shift the energy bands only. According to the conditions of the phase transitions, three stable superfluid and Mott insulating phases can be found by adjusting the experiment parameters. We also discuss the possibility of observing these new phases and their transitions in further experiments.展开更多

Energy levels and quantum defects for ls^2np^2P bound states and their adjacent continuum states are calculated with the R-matrix theory, and then the quantum defect function of the ls^2np (n ≥ 7) channel is obtained, which varies smoothly with the energy based on the quantum defect theory. The accurate quantum defect of the ls^2 7p^2P state derived from the experimental data is used to calibrate the original quantum defect function. The new function is used to calculate ionization potentials and quantum effects of ls^2np ^2P (n ≥ 7) Rydberg states. Present calculations are in agreement with recent experimental data in whole.展开更多

The shape of the particles isapproximately spherical, and the average particle size observed from HRTEM image was 7-8 nm. We applied PbS quantumdots and PMMA polymer to fabricate PbS quantum dots-PMMA composites, and investigate the photoluminescence PbSquantum dots in PMMA matrix with different mass ratio. PbS quantum dots in PMMA matrix have broad emission be-tween 900 nm and 1 500 nm and photoluminescence peak at 1 179 nm. Additionally, the photoluminescence intensityincreases with increasing the dopant concentration. PbS quantum dots-PMMA polymer composites can be potentially usedfor polymer optical fiber and electroluminescence (EL) in optical communication.展开更多

It is shown that the external source radiating a narrow-band non-monochromatic signal can excite in the chain a mixture of standing and slowly travelling waves. The standing wave com- ponent (named as resonator mode) is strongly dominating. The physical reason of such a regime is a sign-varying distribution of power flux over the cross section of the chain. This situation is similar to the scenario of the propagation of a wave along the boundary between the right-handed and left-handed media where the spatial distribution of the light intensity is vortex. However, in the present case there is no boundary between media and the boundary between the positive and negative power fluxes is a cylindric tube in free space whose axis is the axis of the chain.展开更多

Calculations of this probability, in fact, showed an increase of at least 2-3 orders of magnitude with respect to the probability of fusion on the surface of the lattice. These phenomena open the way to the theoretical hypothesis of a kind of chain reaction, as a result of the deuterium loading and catalysed by micro-cracks formed in the structure by micro-explosions, can favour the process.展开更多

The impurities are assumed to be randomly distributed on small fractions of the sites, and have a-strong potential yielding a unitary-limit scattering. In addition to the usual diffusive modes in the retarded-advanced channel, there appear diffusive pi modes in the retarded-retarded (or advanced-advanced) channel due to the existence of particle-hole symmetry. It is found that the pi-mode diffuson gives rise to a logarithmic suppression to the DOS near the band center, which prevails over the positive correction contributed by pi-mode cooperon. As a result, the DOS is subject to a negative total correction. This result is qualitatively different from the divergent behavior of the DOS at the band center predicted previously for disordered 2D two-sublattice models with the particle-hole symmetry.展开更多

Calculations are carried out by using the method of numerical diagonalization of Hamiltonian matrix within the effective-mass approximation. The binding energies of the ground and some bound-excited states are obtained as a function of the applied magnetic field strength. Detailed calculations of the binding energies for a number of low-lying states show that for field strength less than B = 2.1 T, the D center confined in a quantum dot possesses two bound states, for 2.1 〈 B 〈 2.4 T, there exist three bound states, etc. Further relevant characteristics of the D- center quantum dots in magnetic fields are provided.展开更多
