In this work, we carried out in depth the structural, electronic and optical properties of intrinsic, fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl) doped SnO2, using a pseudo-potential plane-wave scheme in the framework of the density functional theory. We found that the substitution of oxygen by F or Cl elements slightly modified the crystalline parameters without altering the stability of SnO2 compounds. The doping of tin oxide by these two halogens is confirmed by the displacement of the Fermi level position to the conduction band. Consequently, the doped materials are strongly degenerate as illustrated by the Moss-Burstein shift: 2.310 eV and 2.332 eV for F:SnO2 and Cl:SnO2 respectively. On the other hand, the density of states and Mulliken population analysis show that the covalent character of Sn-O bond is maintained after doping, while Sn-X (X=F or Cl) formed bond reveals an ionic nature. In terms of optical properties after doping, intrinsic SnO2 exhibits low absorption while the doped ones are transparent in the visible range, making them more efficient in photovoltaic applications. Moreover, in the ultraviolet (UV) scale, pure and doped tin oxide compounds show better absorption, which may be beneficial for use in devices of protection against UV light and UV absorbers or sensors. Finally, the plasma frequencies of 28.22 eV, 29.16 eV and 27.67 eV for pure, F and Cl doped SnO2, respectively, were obtained.
在这项工作中,我们在密度泛函理论的框架下,使用伪势平面波格式,深入研究了本征、氟(F)和氯(Cl)掺杂SnO2的结构、电子和光学性质。我们发现,氧被F或Cl元素取代略微改变了晶体参数,但没有改变SnO2化合物的稳定性。这两种卤素对锡氧化物的掺杂,通过费米能级在导带上的位移得到了证实。因此,掺杂的材料是强简并的,如F:SnO2和Cl:SnO2的Moss-Burstein位移分别为2.310 eV和2.332 eV。另一方面,态密度和Mulliken密度分析表明,掺杂后Sn-O键的共价性质保持不变,而Sn-X (X=F或Cl)形成的键则显示出离子性质。在掺杂后的光学性质方面,本征SnO2表现出较低的吸收,而掺杂后的SnO2在可见光范围内是透明的,使其在光伏应用中更加高效。此外,在紫外线(UV)尺度下,纯氧化锡和掺杂氧化锡化合物表现出更好的吸收,这可能有利于用于紫外线保护装置和紫外线吸收器或传感器。最后,获得了纯、F和Cl掺杂SnO2的等离子体频率分别为28.22 eV、29.16 eV和27.67 eV。

Measurements of the L-shell x-ray emission of fluorinelike europium ions (Eu54+) were made under controlled laboratory conditions on the EBIT-I electron beam ion trap at Livermore using an x-ray calorimeter, extending such measurements to the middle of the rare earth elements. Comparing the calorimeter spectra with atomic data from the Flexible Atomic Code, we have identified and analyzed several prominent n = 3 → n = 2 transitions, including one two-electron, one-photon core changing transition and one electric quadrupole transition. We find that the measured energies are consistently up to several eV higher than predicted.

Each year more than 3,000 Canadians are diagnosed with brain cancers like glioblastoma multiforme or recurrent head and neck cancers which are difficult to treat with conventional radiotherapy techniques. One of the most clinically promising treatments for these cancers is boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). This procedure involves selectively introducing a boron delivery agent into tumor cells and irradiating them with a neutron beam, which kills the cancer cells due to the high-LET radiation produced by the 10B(n,α)7Li capture reaction. The theory of BNCT has been around for a long time since 1936, but has historically been limited by poor boron delivery agents and nonoptimal neutron source facilities. Although significant improvements have been made in both of these domains, it is mainly the advancements of accelerator-based neutron sources that has led to the expansion of over 20 new BNCT facilities worldwide in the past decade. Additionally in this work, PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code System) simulations, in collaboration with the University of Tsukuba, were performed to examine the effectiveness of the Ibaraki-Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (iBNCT) beam shaping assembly (BSA) to moderate a neutron beam suitable for BNCT at the proposed PC-CANS (Prototype Canadian Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Source) site, which uses a similar but slightly higher energy 10 MeV proton accelerator with a 1 mA average current. The advancements of compact acceleratorbased neutron sources in recent decades has enabled significant improvements in BNCT technologies, allowing it to become a more viable clinical treatment option.
每年有3000多名加拿大人被诊断患有脑癌,如多形性胶质母细胞瘤或复发性头颈部癌症,这些癌症很难用传统的放射治疗技术治疗。硼中子俘获疗法(BNCT)是临床上最有希望治疗这些癌症的方法之一。这个过程包括选择性地将硼递送剂引入肿瘤细胞并用中子束照射它们,由于10B(n,α)7Li捕获反应产生的高let辐射杀死癌细胞。自1936年以来,BNCT理论已经存在了很长时间,但历史上一直受到硼输送剂差和非最佳中子源设施的限制。尽管在这两个领域都取得了重大进展,但主要是基于加速器的中子源的进步导致了过去十年中全球20多个新的BNCT设施的扩建。此外,在这项工作中,与筑波大学合作,进行了PHITS(粒子和重离子传输码系统)模拟,以检查茨城硼中子捕获疗法(iBNCT)束整形组件(BSA)在提议的PC-CANS(加拿大原型紧凑型加速器中子源)站点上调节适合BNCT的中子束的有效性。它使用一种类似但能量稍高的10兆电子伏质子加速器,平均电流为1毫安。近几十年来,基于紧凑型加速器的中子源技术的进步使BNCT技术取得了重大进展,使其成为一种更可行的临床治疗选择。

For this experiment, the nickel-boron and nickel-boron-nitrogen alloys are created using the electrochemical deposition method. Utilizing energy dispersive X-ray methods, the nickel-boron and nickel-boron-nitrogen alloys are characterized. X-ray diffraction was used to examine the crystal structure of nickel-boron and nickel-boron-nitrogen alloys. An energy dispersed X-ray fluorescence spectrometer is used to gather X-ray photons from the present samples. The number of radiated X-ray photons from the present specimens is used to compute the Kβ/Kα intensity ratios. The theoretical Coulomb and Babushkin gauges are used to calculate the populations of the 3d and 4s4p electrons. The observed data imply that shielding effects from 4s3d orbitals, hybridization, changes in energy levels, and charge transfer mechanism may be the causes of the variance in 3d and 4s4p electron populations. In an effort to clarify the conclusions drawn as a result of all these computations, this study contrasts the results with those of pure nickel.

Within the macroscopic approach, investigation of different decay modes such as alpha decay,cluster decay (12C to 40Ca), HPR, (58Ni to 85Rb) and SF half-lives are investigated in detail in the SHE, Z=119. The decay energies, penetration probability and different decay half-lives in the isotopes of SHN 290−303119 are evaluated. Both 12C and 40Ar cluster emissions reveal shorter half-lives when compared to other cluster emissions. Furthermore, 85Rb heavy particle emission from the SHN 290−303119 discloses shorter half-lives compared to other heavy particle emissions. From the comparison of different decay half-lives, it is observed that 85Rb HPR is dominant in the region 290−299119, alpha decay is dominant for the 300−302119 and SF half-lives are predominant in 303119 nuclei. Hence, the prediction of decay modes and decay path in the SHE, Z=119 are helpful in the identification of experimentally synthesized SHE.
在宏观方法中,详细研究了不同的衰变模式,如α衰变、团簇衰变(12C至40Ca)、HPR、(58Ni至85Rb)和SF半衰期。计算了shn290 ~ 303119同位素的衰变能、穿透概率和不同的衰变半衰期。与其他簇辐射相比,12C和40Ar簇辐射的半衰期都较短。此外,来自SHN 290−303119的85Rb重粒子发射比其他重粒子发射的半衰期更短。通过对不同衰变半衰期的比较,发现85Rb HPR在290 ~ 299119区占优势,α衰变在300 ~ 302119区占优势,SF半衰期在303119区占优势。因此,对Z=119的SHE的衰变模式和衰变路径的预测有助于实验合成SHE的识别。

Based on the Green’s function approach in combination with the tight-binding approximation, we have investigated the electronic properties of zigzag bilayer phosphorene nanoribbons (ZBLPNRs). A complete and fully reversible metal to semiconductor or insulator phase transition, has been observed via tuning a perpendicular electric field. We explain the effect of the interlayer hopping parameter on the electronic characterizations, namely, the energy band-gap, Fermi velocity and effective mass of carriers in biased ZBLPNRs. In the presence of the interlayer hopping term, the band structure of a ZBLPNR in the vicinity of the Fermi level has a form of two tilted Dirac cones, while, in the absence of it, the created cones are not tilted. Besides, the bands above and below the Fermi level are not symmetric,{it i.e.}, there is no electron-hole symmetry for both limits of the interlayer coupling. A remarkable tuning of both the Fermi velocity and the reciprocal effective mass can be observed by adjusting the external bias voltage. At certain critical bias voltages, the band edge reciprocal masses and carrier velocities become zero, {it i.e.}, the electrons exhibit a localization behaviour. This phenomenon indeed is a transition from massive to massless Dirac fermions and vice versa. The possibility of simultaneous control of the thermal and magnetic properties using an electric agent, which can be realized experimentally by using an perpendicular potential difference, open up possibilities for low power consumed thermomagnetic devices based on ZBLPNRs.
基于格林函数方法,结合紧结合近似,研究了之字形双层磷烯纳米带(ZBLPNRs)的电子特性。一个完全和完全可逆的金属到半导体或绝缘体的相变,已经观察到通过调整垂直电场。我们解释了层间跳变参数对偏置zblpnr中载流子的能带隙、费米速度和有效质量等电子特性的影响。当层间跳变项存在时,ZBLPNR在费米能级附近的能带结构具有两个倾斜的狄拉克锥的形式,而在没有层间跳变项的情况下,所产生的锥不倾斜。此外,费米能级以上和以下的能带是不对称的,{即},层间耦合的两个极限都不存在电子-空穴对称性。通过调节外部偏置电压,可以观察到费米速度和有效质量的显著调谐。在一定的临界偏置电压下,带边互易质量和载流子速度变为零,电子表现出局域化行为。这种现象确实是从有质量的狄拉克费米子到无质量的狄拉克费米子的过渡,反之亦然。利用电剂同时控制热和磁性能的可能性,可以通过实验实现,利用垂直电位差,为基于zblpnr的低功耗热磁器件开辟了可能性。

The energy eigenvalues En in finite square quantum wells (SQW) cannot be found using an analytic expression. As a result, numerical methods are normally used to find the eigenvalues from a transcendental equation. In this report, it will be shown that the eigenvalue solution for a given state consists in finding the only real positive root of a depressed trinomial polynomial of third order, which is as easy to solve as a quadratic equation. The method proposed can also be applied for semi-infinite, finite and asymmetric SQW, which are often presented in Quantum Mechanics (QM) textbooks at the undergraduate level. The proposed method can be applied during an exam when programmable calculators are not allowed as the real root of the trinomial polynomial can be found using the formula for the cubic equation found nearly 500 years ago.
有限平方量子阱(SQW)中的能量特征值En不能用解析表达式求得。因此,通常使用数值方法从超越方程中找到特征值。在本报告中,我们将证明给定状态的特征值解在于找到一个三阶抑制三叉多项式的唯一实正根,它与二次方程一样容易求解。本文提出的方法也适用于本科阶段量子力学教科书中经常出现的半无限、有限和非对称量子力学问题。当考试中不能使用可编程计算器时,可以使用该方法,因为使用近500年前发现的三次方程公式可以找到三叉多项式的实根。

The proposed method can be applied during an exam when programmable calculators are not allowed as the real root of the trinomial polynomial can be found using the formula for the cubic equation found nearly 500 years ago.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84481700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we have studied the bulk viscous fluid connected with string cosmological model in a higher dimensional (five dimensions) Bianchi type-III space–time in the framework of Lyra’s manifold. To get the deterministic solution of the field equations, we assume two physically appropriate conditions: ( i) θ in the model parameter that is proportional to the eigen value of [Formula: see text] of the shear tensor [Formula: see text] and ( ii) the periodic time-varying deceleration parameter q specified as q = mcos ( kt) − 1, where m, k > 0. In this paper, we have studied the periodic time-varying behaviour of a few quantities, such as the deceleration parameter q, the energy density ρ, the proper pressure p, the string tension density λ, the total pressure [Formula: see text], the energy density for particle ρp, and the displacement vector β( t), and we have discussed the physical significance of these quantities. It has been found that in the early stages of the universe’s evolution, string prevails over particles, whereas the universe is dominated by massive string at late time. It is also noted that the string phase of the cosmos does not vanish in the model since particle density is constantly positive throughout the universe’s history. In normal gauge treatment, β( t) acts like cosmological constant (Λ), and the solutions are compatible with observations. For the stability analysis, we have investigated the nature of various energy conditions (ECs). The positive behaviour of DEC indicates the model’s validation; on the other hand, SEC and WEC are violating, indicating the universe’s accelerated expansion.
本文在Lyra流形的框架下,研究了高维(五维)Bianchi - iii型时空中体积黏性流体与弦宇宙学模型的连接。为了得到场方程的确定性解,我们假设了两个物理上适当的条件:(i)模型参数中的θ与剪切张量[公式:见文][公式:见文]的特征值成正比;(ii)周期性时变减速参数q指定为q = mcos (kt)−1,其中m, k > 0。本文研究了减速参数q、能量密度ρ、固有压力p、弦张力密度λ、总压力[公式:见文]、粒子能量密度ρp、位移矢量β(t)等物理量的周期性时变行为,并讨论了这些物理量的物理意义。人们已经发现,在宇宙演化的早期阶段,弦压倒了粒子,而宇宙在后期则由大质量弦主导。我们还注意到,宇宙的弦相在模型中不会消失,因为粒子密度在整个宇宙历史中一直是正的。在标准规范处理中,β(t)的作用类似于宇宙常数(Λ),其解与观测结果相一致。对于稳定性分析,我们研究了各种能量条件(ECs)的性质。DEC的正向行为表明模型的有效性;另一方面,SEC和WEC是违反的,这表明宇宙正在加速膨胀。

The spectroscopic and molecular properties of the title molecules have been investigated by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method, to provide theoretical information for molecular species that are scarce in literature. To this aim, potential energy curves have been constructed for the selected dimers in neutral and anionic forms within DMC employing single determinant trial wave functions of orbitals obtained from density functional theory calculations. Bond length, transition energy, vibrational frequency, and electron affinity have been determined for each species. Results have been discussed and compared with their isovalents where available.

The minimal length Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) is a proposed theory based on the basic phenomenology of Quantum Gravity (QG) to study the effect of gravity in the quantum realm in a non-relativistic way. In this paper, we study the GUP effect on Anharmonic oscillator by the ladder operator and perturbation theory. Taking different order of perturbation from the potential of Anharmonic oscillator, the first and second order energy corrections and the first order correction of wavefunction have been derived. We have also studied the variation of energy spectrum in general Harmonic and Anharmonic oscillator in an undergraduate non-relativistic approach.
