The step in the substrate was produced by Ar ion etching with step angles ranging from 47° to 61°, which is steep enough to ensure the formation of grain boundaries (GBs) at the step edges. The YBCO film was deposited using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique with a film thickness half of the height of the substrate step. The inductance of the SQUID washer was designed to be about 157 pH. Under these circumstances, high performance YBCO RF SQUIDs were successfully fabricated with a typical flux-voltage transfer ratio of 83 mV/φ0, a white flux noise of 29 μφ0/√Hz, and the magnetic field sensitivity as high as 80 fT/√Hz. These devices have been applied in magnetocardiography and geological surveys.展开更多

Two C60-1ike molecules C48N12 and C48B12 with rare Th symmetry have been reported here, which is an approach to seek for the molecule with rare Th symmetry. Their structural, electronic, vibrational, NMR, and thermodynamic properties have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Vibrational modes have been assigned according to their symmetry. They all have 73 independent vibrational modes: 22 IR-active modes with Tu symmetry and 37 Raman-active modes with Ag, Eg and Tg symmetry, respectively. The heats of formation have been calculated using isodesmic reactions, and the values of C48N12 and C48B12 are 3812.0 and 3423.8 kJ mo1-1, respectively. According to the estimated band gaps for their fcc solid, they are all semiconducting materials, like C60, especially C48B12-based fcc solid.展开更多
