Production of clean rare isotope beams at TRIUMF ion guide laser ion source
摘要： Hot cavity resonant ionization laser ion sources (RILIS) provide a multitude of radioactive ion beams with high ionization efficiency and element selective ionization. However, in hot cavity RILIS there still remains isobaric contamination in the extracted beam from surface ionized species. An ion guide-laser ion source (IG-LIS) has been implemented at TRIUMF’s isotope separator and accelerator (ISAC) facility that decouples the hot isotope production region from the laser ionization volume. A number of IG-LIS runs have been conducted to provide isobar free radioactive ion beams for experiments. Isobar suppression of up to 106 has been achieved, e.g. for Mg, Cd, Ga and other isotopes, IG-LIS however, still suffers from an intensity loss of 50-100× as compared to hot cavity RILIS. The work towards operating the IG-LIS in an optimized fashion and possible design improvements to the operational prototype for efficient and robust (radiation hard) on-line operation and recent SIMION ion optics simulation results as well as the ongoing development status of the IG-LIS are presented.

Efficient Orthogonal Control of Tunnel Couplings in a Quantum Dot Array
摘要： Electrostatically-defined semiconductor quantum dot arrays offer a promising platform for quantum computation and quantum simulation. However, crosstalk of gate voltages to dot potentials and interdot tunnel couplings complicates the tuning of the device parameters. To date, crosstalk to the dot potentials is routinely and efficiently compensated using so-called virtual gates, which are specific linear combinations of physical gate voltages. However, due to exponential dependence of tunnel couplings on gate voltages, crosstalk to the tunnel barriers is currently compensated through a slow iterative process. In this work, we show that the crosstalk on tunnel barriers can be efficiently characterized and compensated for, using the fact that the same exponential dependence applies to all gates. We demonstrate efficient calibration of crosstalk in a quadruple quantum dot array and define a set of virtual barrier gates, with which we show orthogonal control of all interdot tunnel couplings. Our method marks a key step forward in the scalability of the tuning process of large-scale quantum dot arrays.

Quantifying the amplified bias of PV system simulations due to uncertainties in solar radiation estimates
摘要： Solar radiation databases used for simulating PV systems are typically selected according to their annual bias in global horizontal irradiance (GHI) because this bias propagates proportionally to plane-of-array irradiance (GPOA) and module power (PDC). However, the bias may get amplified through the simulations due to the impact of deviations in estimated irradiance on parts of the modeling chain depending on irradiance. This study quantifies these effects at 39 European locations by comparing simulations using satellite-based (SARAH) and reanalysis (COSMO-REA6 and ERA5) databases against simulations using station measurements.

Stepped morphology on vicinal 3C- and 4H-SiC (0001) faces: A Kinetic Monte Carlo study
摘要： Stepped morphologies on vicinal 3C- and 4H-SiC (0001) surfaces with the miscut toward [1100] or [1120] directions have been studied with a three-dimensional kinetic Monte Carlo model. In the model, a three-dimensional lattice mesh was established based on the crystal lattice of 3C-and 4H-SiC to fix the positions of atoms and interatomic bonding. Periodic boundary conditions were applied in the lateral direction while helicoidal boundary conditions were used in the direction of crystal growth. Events, such as adatoms attachment, detachment and interlayer transport at the step edges, and adatoms adsorption and diffusion on the terraces were considered in the model. Effects of Ehrlich-Schwoebel barriers at downward step edges and incorporation barriers at upwards step edges were also considered. Moreover, the atoms of silicon and carbon were treated as the minimal diffusing species independently to achieve more elaborate information for the behavior of atoms in the crystal surface. The simulation results showed that multiple-height steps were formed on the vicinal 4H-SiC (0001) surfaces, whereas single bilayer-height stepped morphologies were observed on the vicinal 3C-SiC (0001) surfaces. Furthermore, zigzag shaped edges were observed for both of 3C- and 4H-SiC (0001) surfaces with the miscut toward [1120] direction. At last, the formation mechanism of the stepped morphology was also analyzed.

Computational study of nonlinear dielectric composites with field-induced antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition
摘要： Electric field-induced antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition and the associated nonlinear dielectric behavior in particulate composites are investigated for achieving a high dielectric capacity. A phenomenological thermodynamic model based on the Landau theory is first developed to discuss the generic phenomena of a temperature-electric field phase diagram, coexistence of antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phases, field-induced antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition, and nonlinear dielectric behavior. The model is then used to carry out the phase field simulation of particulate nonlinear dielectric composites. It is found that the composites exhibit nonlinear dielectric behaviors, and the depolarization field in the composites helps reduce the dielectric hysteresis and enhance the reversibility of antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transitions, which are desired for energy storage applications. The simulations also reveal the underlying domain-level mechanisms for nucleation and growth processes of the phase transitions. It is shown that the macroscopic properties of the composites sensitively depend on the directional alignment of the antiferroelectric filler particles, and thus the filler morphology is an effective control variable in designing nonlinear dielectric composites.

Intrinsic anion diffusivity in lead halide perovskites is facilitated by a soft lattice
摘要： Facile ionic transport in lead halide perovskites plays a critical role in device performance. Understanding the microscopic origins of high ionic conductivities has been complicated by indirect measurements and sample microstructural heterogeneities. Here, we report the direct visualization of halide anion interdiffusion in CsPbCl3–CsPbBr3 single crystalline perovskite nanowire heterojunctions using wide-field and confocal photoluminescence measurements. The combination of nanoscale imaging techniques with these single crystalline materials allows us to measure intrinsic anionic lattice diffusivities, free from complications of microscale inhomogeneity. Halide diffusivities were found to be between 10?13 and ～10?12 cm2/second at about 100 °C, which are several orders of magnitudes lower than those reported in polycrystalline thin films. Spatially resolved photoluminescence lifetimes and surface potential measurements provide evidence of the central role of halide vacancies in facilitating ionic diffusion. Vacancy formation free energies computed from molecular simulation are small due to the easily deformable perovskite lattice, accounting for the high equilibrium vacancy concentration. Furthermore, molecular simulations suggest that ionic motion is facilitated by low-frequency lattice modes, resulting in low activation barriers for vacancy-mediated transport. This work elucidates the intrinsic solid-state ion diffusion mechanisms in this class of semisoft materials and offers guidelines for engineering materials with long-term stability in functional devices.

Amplitude modulation and soliton formation of an intense laser beam interacting with dense quantum plasma: Symbolic simulation analysis
摘要： In this theoretical study, we investigate the amplitude modulation and envelop soliton formation in a dense plasma when such a plasma interacts with a strong laser beam. We have made use of the symbolic simulation technique to find the modulation instability of an electrostatic wave with higher orders of non-linearity. We identified the range of wavenumber in which such non-linearity is important. Furthermore, we have analysed the formation of envelope soliton of waves localized in space. The results obtained here will be helpful in interpreting different phenomena that arise in laser plasma interaction. The importance of the relativistic contribution of streaming particles is discussed alongside the parametric influences experienced by the plasma particles.

Argon clustering in silicon under low-energy irradiation: Molecular dynamics simulation with different Ar–Si potentials
摘要： In this paper, the authors carried out a molecular dynamics simulation of crystal and amorphous silicon sputtering by low-energy (200 eV) Ar ions at normal incidence. The gradual damage of silicon caused by the ion bombardment was taken into account in order to study the dynamics of argon accumulation and clustering. For describing interatomic Ar–Si interaction, they used three different potentials: two binary screened Coulomb potentials (Molière and Ziegler–Biersack–Littmark) and the potential developed on the basis of density functional theory. The obtained results demonstrated the substantial influence of the chosen Ar–Si potential on calculated sputtering yields and on the processes of argon accumulation and clustering.

Study on high-efficiency separation of laminated glass by skillfully combining laser-induced thermal-crack propagation and laser thermal melting
摘要： Laminated glass has a wide range of applications, but the cutting process is too cumbersome. In this paper, a novel laser composite separation method was proposed to separate the laminated glass by one time and simplify the cutting process from five steps to two steps for the first time by skillfully combining laser-induced thermal-crack propagation and laser thermal melting. This method generated three laser foci, and each laser focus is acting on one layer of laminated glass. Then, the composite mechanism combining laser-induced thermal-crack propagation for glass layers and laser thermal melting separation for PVB layer was realized to separate entire laminated glass. The experiments of separating laminated glass with thickness of 5 + 0.38 + 5 mm were carried out by laser composite separation successfully, and the separation side wall was very smooth (roughness of glass layer reached 10.24 nm) without any separation defects such as chipping, micro-cracks or subsurface damage. A mathematical model was also established to analyze the separation mechanism.

Laser cavitation peening of gray cast iron: Effect of coverage layer on the surface integrity
摘要： Copper coverage layer was employed to the laser cavitation peening (LCP) of HT200 gray cast iron. The process of bubble evolution, velocity field of bubble, impact of water-jet, deformation and stress of material were simulated. The effects of coverage layer on the surface integrity (surface morphology and roughness, residual stress, micro-hardness) of LCP treated HT200 under various laser energies and defocusing amounts were systemically investigated. The results indicate that the maximum velocity of water-jet is 380 m/s and the diameter is 0.1 mm. The surface roughness of HT200 increases after the treatment of LCP. The presence of Copper coverage layer makes the HT200 surface more flat and the surface roughness decreases by half. At the case of no coverage layer, the parameters of 200 mJ laser energy and 1 mm defocusing amount are optimal for roughness, compressive residual stress and micro-hardness. Higher laser energy produces higher magnitude of micro-hardness and compressive residual stress in the case of coverage layer, and the optimal defocusing amount is 0 mm.
