The p-T curves show the abnormal phenomenon that with the increase of K doping amount, resistivity increases, and the insulator-metal transition temperature decreases, which is because the influence of the occupation disorder degree of A-site ions σ2 on the electric transport property of perovskite manga- nites is larger than that of the radius of A-site ions (rA). In the temperature range below 225 K, MR increases contin- uously with the decrease of temperature, which is the characteristic of low-field magnetoresistance; in the com- paratively wide temperature range near 250 K, the MR- T curves of all the samples are comparatively fiat, and the value of MR almost does not change with temperature, which shows the temperature stability of magnetoresis- tance, and can be explained by the competition between the low-field magnetoresistance induced by spin-dependent tunneling of surface phase and the intrinsic magnetoresis- tance of grain phase. The magnetoresistance value of the sample with y = 0.8 keeps at (7.92 ±0.36) % in the very wide temperature range of 225-275 K, and this is a goodreference for the preparation of this kind of sample with practical application value in the future.展开更多

This paper studies the dynamic fluid flow through hydraulic fractures and its effect on borehole acoustic waves. Firstly, based on the fractal characteristics of fractures observed in hydraulic fracturing experiments, a permeability model of complex fracture network is established. Combining the dynamic fluid flow response of the model with the Biot-Rosenbaum theory that describes the acoustic wave propagation in permeable formations, the influence of hydraulic fractures on the velocity dispersion of borehole Stoneley-wave is then calculated and analyzed, whereby a novel hydraulic fracture fluid transport property evaluation method is proposed. The results show that the Stoneley-wave velocity dispersion characteristics caused by complex fractures can be equivalent to those of the plane fracture model, provided that the average permeability of the complex fracture model is equal to the permeability of the plane fracture. In addition, for fractures under high-permeability(fracture width 10~100 μm, permeability ~100 μm^(2)) and reduced permeability(1~10 μm, ~10 μm^(2), as in fracture closure) conditions, the Stoneley-wave velocity dispersion characteristics are significantly different. The field application shows that this fluid transport property evaluation method is practical to assess the permeability and the connectivity of hydraulic fractures.展开更多

In this paper, the transport properties of graphene under inhomogeneous strain arestudied. We find that the Landau levels have non-zero group velocity, and construct one-dimensional conducting channels.In addition, the edge states and the Landau level states in PMF are both fragile under disorder. We also confirm that thebackscattering of these states could be suppressed by applying a real magnetic filed (MF). Therefore, the transmissioncoefficient for each conducting channel can be manipulated by adjusting the MF strength, which indicates the applicationof switching devices.展开更多

Experimental measurements of the edge fluctuations, velocities of the toroidal, the poloidal flow and electric field have been carried out on both of SOL and the boundary region of HL-1M for Ohmic, biased H-mode, Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD), Supersonic Molecular Beam Injection (MBI), Multi-shot Pellet Injection (MPI), Neutral Beam Injection (NBI), Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) and Electric Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) discharges. The results show that the suppressions of the fluctuations are related to poloidal rotations produced by different discharge modes in the improved particle confinement property, simultaneously the change of the radial and poloidal electric field is generated and becomes more negative at the Tokamak plasma edge, and the sheared poloidal flow is related to the reduction in fluctuation level, and the poloidal velocity is mainly dominated by the E × B drift.展开更多

Pair interactions between atoms are derived using a local pseudopotential. The potential parameters are fitted to the phonon dispersion curve at room temperature. The local pseudopotential used in the present study is computationally more efficient with only three parameters, and it is found to be transferable to the liquid phase without changing the parameters.Since the various computed properties agree with reported theoretical and experimental findings, the adopted fitting scheme is justified. As a significant outcome of the study, we find that(i) the melting in Yb is governed by the Lindemann's law,(ii)the mass transport mechanism obeys the Arrhenius law,(iii) the role of the three-particle correlation function in deriving the velocity autocorrelation function is small,(iv) the mean-square atomic displacement is more sensitive to the choice of interaction potential than the other bulk properties, and(v) liquid Yb does not show liquid–liquid phase transition within the studied temperature range. Further, due to the good description of the structural and mass transport properties, we propose that Yb remains divalent at reduced density.展开更多

The electric transport properties and the temperature stabil-ity of magnetoresistance (MR) of the samples were studied through the measurements of X-ray diffraction patterns, resistivity-temperature (ρ-T) curves, mass magnetization-temperature (σ-T) curves, and magnetoresistance-temper-ature (MR-T) curves. The results indicate that the p-Tcurves of the original material LSNMO show two peaks, and the phenomenon of two peaks of ρ-T curves disappears for the composite samples, which can be explained by a competition between surface-phase resistivity induced by boundary-dependent scattering and body-phase resistivity induced by paramagnetism-ferromagnetism transition. For all the sam-ples in the low temperature range, MR increases continu-ously with the decrease of temperature, which shows a characteristic of low-field magnetoresistance. However, MR basically keeps the same in the high temperature range. The paramagnetism-ferromagnetism transition is observed in the high temperature range due to a composite between perov-skite manganite and insulator, which can enhance the tem-perature of MR appearance in the high temperature range and make it to appear near room temperature. For the sample with x = 0.12, MR remains constant at the value of 7.5 % in the temperature range of 300-260 K, which achieves a tem-perature stability of MR near room temperature. In addition,for the sample with x = 0.16, MR is above 6.8 % in the high temperature range of 318-252 K (△T = 66 K). MR almost remains constant in this temperature range, which favors the practical application of MR.展开更多

It isindicated that strong nonuniformities in the distributions of impurities and defects can occur forthe NDSILEC GaAs crystal grown under a condition with strong constitutional supercooling. In suchcase, the deep level that dominates Fermi level is spacial location dependent, and the GaAs crystalbecomes a composite consisting of a large number of elementary domains with differentconductivities. The sub-bandgap photocurrent response and the carrier transport properties for thiskind of composite are quite different from those for homogeneous NDSILEC GaAs.展开更多

The results showed that Al doping was favorable to the globurizing of powders and grain size uniformity, however, depressed the particles growth. The resistivity of system increased rapidly and the metal-insulator transition temperature (TIM) and room temperature magnetoresistance decreased as the aluminum concentration increased. In the T>TIM region, the current carriers were moving in variable range transition mode. The resistivity of La0.8Sr0.2Mn1-xAlxO3 for x=0.05 and 0.1 satisfied metal model in the T<TIM region. The characteristics of the transport behavior for aluminum doping were analyzed in terms of destroying the double exchange channel of Mn3+-O-Mn4+, distortion of the cell lattice and change of powder particles size and shape.展开更多

In this review, after a brief summary of the history of topological insulators, we focus on the recent progress made in transport experiments on topological insulator films and nanowires. Some quantum phenomena, including the weak antilocalization, the Aharonov-Bobm effect, and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, observed in these nanostructures are described. In addition, the electronic transport evidence of the superconducting proximity effect as well as an anomalous resistance enhancement in topological insulator/superconductor hybrid structures is included.展开更多

R@ Data 19 1179 (1990)]. With the new invert potential, the transport properties of CO2-N2 mixture are presented in a temperature range front 273.15 K to 3273.15 K at low density by employing the Chapman-Enskog scheme and the Wang Chang-Uhlenbeck de Boer theory, consisting of a viscosity coefficient, a thermal conductivity coefficient, a binary diffusion coefficient, and a thermal diffusion factor. The accuracy of the predicted results is estimated to be 2% for viscosity, 5% for thermal conductivity, and 10% for binary diffusion coefficient.展开更多

The effects of pore width and density were analyzed at pore widths from 0.9 to 2.6 nm. The diffusivity in micropores is lower than that of the bulk, and it decreases as pore width decreases and as density increases. But the viscosity in micropores is much larger than that of the bulk, and it increases as pore width decreases and as density increases. The diffusivity in channel parallel direction is obviously larger than that in channel perpendicular directions.展开更多

The results show that conduc- tances remain at exactly the same values when the output leads are located at axisymmetric positions. However, for the nonaxisymmetrical case, there is a phase difference between the upper and lower arm, which leads to zero conductances appearing periodically. An isotropy of the conductance is destroyed by the Rashba SOC effect in the axisymmetric case. In addition, the position of zero conductance is regulated with the strength of the Rashba SOC.展开更多

It is found that the metal-insulator transition temperature of this system shifts to a lower value as the ZrO2 content increases. The introduction of ZrO2 enhances both the domain scattering and electron relative scattering in the metal transport region. In the adiabatic small polaron hopping transport region, the thermal activation energy seems invariable regardless of the ZrO2 content. The applica- tion of a magnetic field promotes the charge transportation capabilities of the composites, and the magnetoresistance is enhanced with an increase of the ZrO2 content. This could be attributed to the more remarkable modification effect of magnetic field on ordering degree in the composites than in pure Lao.sTe0.2MnO3.展开更多

Current studies on these systems have been greatly promoted by the intuitive concepts of Berry phase and Berry curvature, which provide precise definitions of the topological phases. In this topical review, transport properties of topological insulator (Bi2Se3), topological Dirac semimetal (Cd3As2), and topological insulator-graphene heterojunc- tion are presented and discussed. Perspectives about transport properties of two-dimensional topological nontrivial systems, including topological edge transport, topological valley transport, and topological Weyl semimetals, are provided.展开更多

The vacancy formation energy results show that the zigzag vacancy is easier to create on the edge of ZMNR than the armchair vacancy. Both of the defects can make the electronic band structures of ZMNRs change from metal to semiconductor. The calculations of electronic transport properties depict that the currents drop off clearly and rectification ratios increase in the defected systems. These effects would open up possibilities for their applications in novel nanoelectronic devices.展开更多

The paramagnetism-ferromagnetism transition is observed in the high temperature range due to a composite between perov-skite manganite and insulator, which can enhance the tem-perature of MR appearance in the high temperature range and make it to appear near room temperature. For the sample with x = 0.12, MR remains constant at the value of 7.5 % in the temperature range of 300-260 K, which achieves a tem-perature stability of MR near room temperature. In addition,for the sample with x = 0.16, MR is above 6.8 % in the high temperature range of 318-252 K (△T = 66 K). MR almost remains constant in this temperature range, which favors the practical application of MR.

文摘Undoped (ND) semi-insulating (SI) liquid encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) GaAscrystals were investigated by photocurrent and temperature-dependent Hall measurements. It isindicated that strong nonuniformities in the distributions of impurities and defects can occur forthe NDSILEC GaAs crystal grown under a condition with strong constitutional supercooling. In suchcase, the deep level that dominates Fermi level is spacial location dependent, and the GaAs crystalbecomes a composite consisting of a large number of elementary domains with differentconductivities. The sub-bandgap photocurrent response and the carrier transport properties for thiskind of composite are quite different from those for homogeneous NDSILEC GaAs.

文摘The influence of aluminum doping at Mn-site in nanograin compound La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 was investigated based on X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and resistivity measurement, in the light of structure and transport properties. The results showed that Al doping was favorable to the globurizing of powders and grain size uniformity, however, depressed the particles growth. The resistivity of system increased rapidly and the metal-insulator transition temperature (TIM) and room temperature magnetoresistance decreased as the aluminum concentration increased. In the T>TIM region, the current carriers were moving in variable range transition mode. The resistivity of La0.8Sr0.2Mn1-xAlxO3 for x=0.05 and 0.1 satisfied metal model in the T<TIM region. The characteristics of the transport behavior for aluminum doping were analyzed in terms of destroying the double exchange channel of Mn3+-O-Mn4+, distortion of the cell lattice and change of powder particles size and shape.

文摘The last several years have witnessed the rapid developments in the study and understanding of topological insulators. In this review, after a brief summary of the history of topological insulators, we focus on the recent progress made in transport experiments on topological insulator films and nanowires. Some quantum phenomena, including the weak antilocalization, the Aharonov-Bobm effect, and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, observed in these nanostructures are described. In addition, the electronic transport evidence of the superconducting proximity effect as well as an anomalous resistance enhancement in topological insulator/superconductor hybrid structures is included.

文摘The potential energy snrface of a CO2-N2 mixture is determined by using an inversion method, together with a new collision integral correlation [J. Phys. Chem. R@ Data 19 1179 (1990)]. With the new invert potential, the transport properties of CO2-N2 mixture are presented in a temperature range front 273.15 K to 3273.15 K at low density by employing the Chapman-Enskog scheme and the Wang Chang-Uhlenbeck de Boer theory, consisting of a viscosity coefficient, a thermal conductivity coefficient, a binary diffusion coefficient, and a thermal diffusion factor. The accuracy of the predicted results is estimated to be 2% for viscosity, 5% for thermal conductivity, and 10% for binary diffusion coefficient.
文摘The diffusivity and viscosity of water confined in micropores were studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of pore width and density were analyzed at pore widths from 0.9 to 2.6 nm. The diffusivity in micropores is lower than that of the bulk, and it decreases as pore width decreases and as density increases. But the viscosity in micropores is much larger than that of the bulk, and it increases as pore width decreases and as density increases. The diffusivity in channel parallel direction is obviously larger than that in channel perpendicular directions.

文摘Transport properties in a multi-terminal regular polygonal quantum ring with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are investigated analytically using quantum networks and the transport matrix metLod. The results show that conduc- tances remain at exactly the same values when the output leads are located at axisymmetric positions. However, for the nonaxisymmetrical case, there is a phase difference between the upper and lower arm, which leads to zero conductances appearing periodically. An isotropy of the conductance is destroyed by the Rashba SOC effect in the axisymmetric case. In addition, the position of zero conductance is regulated with the strength of the Rashba SOC.

文摘The stability of superconductivity in superconductors is widely recognized to be determined by various factors,including charge,spin,orbit,lattice,and other related degrees of freedom.Here,we report our findings on the pressure-induced coevolution of superconductivity and Hall coefficient in KCa_(2)Fe_(4)As_(24F_(2),an iron-based superconductor possessing a hybrid crystal structure combining KFe_(2)As_(2) and CaFeAsF.Our investigation,involving high-pressure resistance,Hall effect and x-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements,allows us to observe the connection of the superconductivity and Hall coefficient with the anisotropic lattice shrinkage.We find that its ambient-pressure tetragonal(T) phase presents a collapse starting at around 18 GPa,where the sign of the Hall coefficient(R_(H)) changes from positive to negative.Upon further compression,both superconducting transition temperature(T_(c)) and R_(H) exhibit a monotonous decrease.At around 41 GPa,the superconductivity is completely suppressed(T_(c)=0),where the parameter a begins to decline again and the Hall coefficient remains nearly unchanged.Our experiment results clearly demonstrate that the pressure-induced anisotropic lattice collapse plays a crucial role in tuning the interplay among multiple degrees of freedom in the superconducting system and,correspondingly,the stability of the superconductivity.

文摘The transport properties and magnetoresistance of electron-doped manganate / insulator composites (Lao.sTeo.2MnO3)l-x/(ZrO2)x (x = 0, 0.3, and 0.5) are investigated. It is found that the metal-insulator transition temperature of this system shifts to a lower value as the ZrO2 content increases. The introduction of ZrO2 enhances both the domain scattering and electron relative scattering in the metal transport region. In the adiabatic small polaron hopping transport region, the thermal activation energy seems invariable regardless of the ZrO2 content. The applica- tion of a magnetic field promotes the charge transportation capabilities of the composites, and the magnetoresistance is enhanced with an increase of the ZrO2 content. This could be attributed to the more remarkable modification effect of magnetic field on ordering degree in the composites than in pure Lao.sTe0.2MnO3.

文摘Various novel physical properties have emerged in Dirac electronic systems, especially the topological characters pro- tected by symmetry. Current studies on these systems have been greatly promoted by the intuitive concepts of Berry phase and Berry curvature, which provide precise definitions of the topological phases. In this topical review, transport properties of topological insulator (Bi2Se3), topological Dirac semimetal (Cd3As2), and topological insulator-graphene heterojunc- tion are presented and discussed. Perspectives about transport properties of two-dimensional topological nontrivial systems, including topological edge transport, topological valley transport, and topological Weyl semimetals, are provided.

文摘Based on the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calcu- lations, we study the electronic structures and transport properties of zigzag MoS2 nanoribbons (ZMNRs) with V-shaped vacancy defects on the edge. The vacancy formation energy results show that the zigzag vacancy is easier to create on the edge of ZMNR than the armchair vacancy. Both of the defects can make the electronic band structures of ZMNRs change from metal to semiconductor. The calculations of electronic transport properties depict that the currents drop off clearly and rectification ratios increase in the defected systems. These effects would open up possibilities for their applications in novel nanoelectronic devices.

文摘Transport properties and the associated structural heterogeneity of room temperature aqueous ionic liquids and especially of super-concentrated electrolyte aqueous solutions have received increasing attention,due to their potential application in ionic battery.This paper briefly reviews the results reported mainly since 2010 about the liquid-liquid separation,aggregation of polar and apolar domains in neat RTILs,and solvent clusters and 3D networks chiefly constructed by anions in super-concentrated electrolyte solutions.At the same time,the dominating effect of desolvation process of metal ions at electrode/electrolyte interface upon the transport of metal ions is stressed.This paper also presents the current understanding of how water affects the anion-cation interaction,structural heterogeneities,the structure of primary coordination sheath of metal ions and consequently their transport properties in free water-poor electrolytes.
