The band gaps structures of the photonic crystals for TE and TM waves are different from the two-dimensional conventional photonic crystals. Some absolute band gaps and semiDirac points are found. When the medium column radius and the function form of the dielectric constant are modulated, the numbers, width, and position of band gaps are changed, and the semi-Dirac point can either occur or disappear. Therefore,the special band gaps structures and semi-Dirac points can be achieved through the modulation on the two-dimensional function photonic crystals. The results will provide a new design method of optical devices based on the two-dimensional function photonic crystals.展开更多

The diffraction fringes, i.e., the vertical stripe-like structure, observed in the experimental two-dimensional photoelectron momentum distributions of Gopal et al. (2009 Phys. Rev. Lett. 103 053001) have been attributed to the interplay of the intra- and inter-cycle interferences. The pure numerical calculations by solving the time-dependent Schrrdinger equation are also performed and the results are compared with the experimental measurements directly. It has been found that the position of the stripe-like structure can be used to determine the duration of the laser pulses used in experiments.展开更多

In recent years, many efforts have been spent on manipulating the interlayer organic spacing cation to improve the photovoltaic properties of Dion–Jacobson(DJ) perovskites. In this work, a serious of cycloalkane(CA) molecules were selected as the organic spacing cation in 2D DJ perovskites, which can widely manipulate the optoelectronic properties of the DJ perovskites. The underlying relationship between the CA interlayer molecules and the crystal structures, thermodynamic stabilities, and electronic properties of 58 DJ perovskites has been investigated by using automatic high-throughput workflow cooperated with density-functional(DFT) calculations.We found that these CA-based DJ perovskites are all thermodynamic stable. The sizes of the cycloalkane molecules can influence the degree of inorganic framework distortion and further tune the bandgaps with a wide range of 0.9–2.1 eV.These findings indicate the cycloalkane molecules are suitable as spacing cation in 2D DJ perovskites and provide a useful guidance in designing novel 2D DJ perovskites for optoelectronic applications.展开更多

A negligible residual linear term κ0/T in zero magnetic field is observed, which suggests fully gapped superconducting state.Furthermore, the field dependence of κ0/T is similar to that of the multi-band s-wave superconductor Ba Fe1.9 Ni0.1 As2 at low field. These results reveal multiple nodeless superconducting gaps in this interesting quasi-two-dimensional superconductor with Berezinsky–Kosterlitz–Thouless topological transition.展开更多

We find that periodic modulation of the dielectric background greatly alters photonic band structures, especially for the E-polarization modes. The number, width and position of the photonic band gaps (PBGs) sensitively depend on the structure parameters (the layer thicknesses and dielectric constants) of the one-dimensional periodic background,

文摘Two-dimensional(2D) layered perovskites have emerged as potential alternates to traditional three-dimensional(3D)analogs to solve the stability issue of perovskite solar cells. In recent years, many efforts have been spent on manipulating the interlayer organic spacing cation to improve the photovoltaic properties of Dion–Jacobson(DJ) perovskites. In this work, a serious of cycloalkane(CA) molecules were selected as the organic spacing cation in 2D DJ perovskites, which can widely manipulate the optoelectronic properties of the DJ perovskites. The underlying relationship between the CA interlayer molecules and the crystal structures, thermodynamic stabilities, and electronic properties of 58 DJ perovskites has been investigated by using automatic high-throughput workflow cooperated with density-functional(DFT) calculations.We found that these CA-based DJ perovskites are all thermodynamic stable. The sizes of the cycloalkane molecules can influence the degree of inorganic framework distortion and further tune the bandgaps with a wide range of 0.9–2.1 eV.These findings indicate the cycloalkane molecules are suitable as spacing cation in 2D DJ perovskites and provide a useful guidance in designing novel 2D DJ perovskites for optoelectronic applications.

文摘Two compounds with 3-methylbenzoic acid(HL) [Co(L)2(4,4'-bipy)]n 1 and [Zn2(L)4(4,4'-bipy)]n 2(L = 3-methylbenzoic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized directly and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,elemental analyses,IR spectra and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection integral spectra(UV-Vis DRIS).The two compounds are both one-dimensional infinite chains.The structural difference is that 1 is a double-chain structure and 2 is only a single chain one.At the same time,the carboxylate groups adopt different modes in the two compounds,relatively.Additionally,in order to explore the structural characteristic,two-dimen-sional IR spectra are investigated for 1 and 2.Photo-luminescent property of 2 is also researched in detail.

文摘We performed ultra-low temperature thermal conductivity measurements on the single crystal of a new gold-based quasi-two-dimensional superconductor Au Te2Se(4/3), which has a superconducting transition temperature Tc = 2.70 K. A negligible residual linear term κ0/T in zero magnetic field is observed, which suggests fully gapped superconducting state.Furthermore, the field dependence of κ0/T is similar to that of the multi-band s-wave superconductor Ba Fe1.9 Ni0.1 As2 at low field. These results reveal multiple nodeless superconducting gaps in this interesting quasi-two-dimensional superconductor with Berezinsky–Kosterlitz–Thouless topological transition.
