Tunability of physical properties of (Cd:Zn)S thin film by Close Space Sublimation Process (CSSP)

The present paper reports on a systematic study of the influence of Zn alloying on the structural and optical properties of Cd1 xZnxS thin films. X-ray diffraction study for structural analysis reveals that the two binary compounds have been completely transformed into ternary compound with hexagonal (wurtzite) structure with preferred orientation along c-direction with (002) planes. The optical properties such as optical constants and band gap energy of the films were examined by using spectroscopic ellipsometer and Photospectrometery. It was found that the optical constants (n and k) decrease with the addition of Zn content in the alloy. It was also confirmed that the band gap increases with increasing Zn amount in the alloy and is attributed to quantum size effect in the grain size. Raman spectroscopy analysis shows one dominant phonon band at 326 cm 1, the so-called longitudinal optical (LO) mode for all the alloy composition (x). The appearance of a single phonon band in the Raman spectra established the formation of single phase hexagonal structured Cd1 xZnxS thin film. The LO band is asymmetrically broaden and high frequency shifted due to potential fluctuation caused by the dopant material. The AFM results showed that the surface roughness was decreased with increasing Zn content.     

MOCVD生长源流量对p型GaN薄膜特性影响的研究

利用金属有机物化学气相淀积(MOCVD)技术在蓝宝石衬底上生长p型GaN:Mg薄膜,对不同二茂镁(CP2Mg)流量和Ⅴ族和Ⅲ族摩尔(Ⅴ/Ⅲ)比生长的p型GaN:Mg薄膜特性进行研究。研究表明,增加Ⅴ/Ⅲ比,可以降低螺旋位错密度,提高p型GaN晶体质量。当Ⅴ/Ⅲ比为3 800时,Cp2Mg流量最高为170sccm,获得p型GaN(002)面峰值半高宽(FWHM)最窄为232"。同时研究发现,单纯提高Ⅴ/Ⅲ比对降低刃型位错影响较不明显。

Spermidine-induced two-dimensional DNA condensations on mica surfaces: A different pathway from condensations in solution

With atomic force microscopy （AFM） we systematically studied the DNA condensations on mica surfaces induced by multivalent cation spermidine. The pattern of the DNA condensates is a flat single layer, with a core in the centre and DNA wrapping around it at high density. We assume this to be a two-dimensional condensation of free coiled DNA onto negatively charged mica surfaces by the multivalent cation. The DNA molecules condense on mica surfaces via a pathway different from the formation of toroids, rods or globules in bulk solutions. We give an explanation to why toroid structures are difficult to be observed by AFM, and further discuss the relationship between DNA condensations in solutions and on mica surfaces. The present work will be helpful for understanding the behaviors of DNA on charged surfaces, which might be significantly different from that in solutions.     

单晶铜AFM加工过程的分子动力学模拟

建立了AFM针尖切削单晶铜的分子动力学模型。分别采用对势Morse势和多体势EAM势计算工件原子之间的相互作用,研究了不同势能函数对模拟结果的影响。发现两种不同势能函数作用下切屑和加工表面的形成的差别很小,但是用Morse势时系统的势能和牛顿层的温度比用EAM势时要大。用EAM势计算工件原子之间的相互作用,分析了不同切削深度下系统势能、工件单个原子势能的变化,发现随着切削深度的增加,系统势能增长的斜率增加,单个工件原子势能突变的梯度减小。
