With cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, we clearly reveal the spatial-dependence or inhomogeneity of the superconducting gap structure of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8＋δ （Bi2212） and YBa2Cu3O7-x （YBCO） along their c-axes on a scale shorter than the interlayer spacing. By tunneling into the （100） plane of a Bi2212 single crystal and a YBCO film, we observe both U-shaped tunneling spectra with extended fiat zero-conductance bottoms, and V-shaped gap structures, in different regions of each sample. On the YBCO film, tunneling into a （110） surface only reveals a U-shaped gap without any zero-bias peak. Our analysis suggests that the U-shaped gap is likely a nodeless superconducting gap. The V-shaped gap has a very small amplitude, and is likely proximity-induced by regions having the larger U-shaped gap.展开更多

The working principle relies on the time convolution of the programmed microcontroller (μC) digital signals. The expected frequency is easily tuned on the bio-impedance spectroscopy range [100 Hz, 1 MHz] thanks to the μC clock frequency selection. This system has been simulated and tested on the 8 bits μC Arduino<sup>TM </sup>Uno with ATmega328 version. Results obtained prove that only three digital signals are required to fit the general specification in ECIS experiments, below 1% THD accuracy, and show the appropriateness of the system for the real-time monitoring of this type of biological experiments.展开更多
The （60 - x）Bi2O3 - xGeO2-30B2O3-10ZnO （x = 5, 10, 20, 30 molar percent） glasses doped with Er^3＋ and Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ were fabricated using the melting method.

The thermal stability of the glasses was studied with their DTA curves. The results show that the difference between the glass transition temperature and the crystallization onset temperature increases with the increase of GeO2 content, indicating that the thermal stability of the glass has become better. The absorption spectra were recorded and the stimulated emission cross sections were calculated using the McCumber theory. The Ω2, O4, and Ω6 parameters,the transition probability, the radiative lifetime, and the fluorescence branch ratio of Er^3＋ for optical transition were calculated from their absorption spectra in terms of reduced matrix U^（t）（λ = 2, 4, 6） character for optical transitions. The infrared emission of Er^3＋ was measured upon excitation with 970 nm light and the full width at half-maximum （FWHM） was estimated from the emission spectra. The pumping efficiency and the intensity of the emission at the 1.54 μm band of Er^3＋ were enhanced considerably by co-doping Yb^3＋ .展开更多

Their microstructure, ferroelectric properties, the concentration and mobility of the defects have been analysed systematically. With increasing Bi content, the remnant polarization decreases, and the broken-down voltage increases. The optimum Bi excess, 3.5, lowers the oxygen vacancy concentration, while further Bi-addition brings about more defects. The activation energies fitted from cole-cole plots are 0.97 eV, 1.07 eV, 1.18 eV, and 1.33 eV, respectively. This suggests that the mobility of the defects is weakened by Bi-addition, which may be due to the increase of the ratio of the number of Bi2O2 layers to that of the oerovskite blocks.展开更多

The valence band of Bio.2MoO3 is made up of Opπ nonbonding level, π and a bonding bands. The peak at 1.5 eV and the shoulder at 0.5 eV in the forbidden band may be formed from the non-bonding dxy orbitals of some Mo atoms. The O1s core-level spectrum demonstrates the presence of two inequivalent bonds of oxygen ions in Bio.2MoO3. Bi4f core-level spectrum shows two bonding characters of Bi atoms in bismuth molybdenum single crystal. Mo3d core-level spectrum confirms two kinds of valence states of Molybdenum （Mo^＋5 and Mo^＋6）. Ar^＋ ion irradiation induces more significant distortion of MoO6 octahedra.展开更多

Raman spectra of crystal Bi2 Zn OB2O6were recorded in the spectral range 10–1600 cm-1at room temperature first. Compared with the vibrational spectra of the referred compounds,satisfactory assignment of most of the high-energy modes to vibrations of Bi–O, B–O, and Zn–O bonds was achieved. In particular, the Raman high-frequency peak located at 1344 cm-1was attributed to the B–O vibration in the BO3 triangle.This temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic study was carried out up to 600°C. It was found that all the Raman lines exhibit decreases in frequency and the widths of the Raman peaks increase with increasing temperature. No phase transition was observed under 600°C.展开更多
