Abstract

The 55Mn NMR in oriented powder Mn12Ac has been investigated at 1.4-2.0 K in zero field and with external fields along the c-axis. Three kinds of 55Mn NMR composed of five-fold quadrupole-split lines for I=5/2 nuclei have been interpreted to arise from Mn4+ ion, and two crystallographically-inequivalent Mn3+ ions, respectively. It is found that the isotropic hyperfine field in the Mn4+ ion with 3d3 configuration indicates a large amount of reduction (26%) as compared with the theoretical evaluation. In the analysis for the hyperfine field of Mn3+ ions with 3d4 configuration, we have taken into account of the anisotropic dipolar contribution in addition to the Fermi-contact term in order to explain two kinds of 55Mn NMR frequencies in Mn3+ ions in inequivalent sites. By using the hyperfine coupling constants of twelve manganese ions in Mn12Ac, the total hyperfine interaction of the ferrimagnetic ground state of S=10 has been determined to amount to 0.3 cm-1 in magnitude at most, the magnitude of which corresponds to the nuclear hyperfine field he(0.32 kG seen by Mn12 cluster spin. The relaxation of the cluster magnetization was investigated by observing the recovery of the 55Mn spin-echo intensity in the fields of 0.20-1.90 T along the c-axis at 2.0 K. It was found that the magnetization of the cluster exhibits the (t-recovery in the short time regime. The relaxation time decreases with increasing external field following significant dips at every 0.45 T. This is interpreted to be due to the effects of thermally-assisted quantum tunneling between the spin states at magnetic level crossings.

Surface effects on the plasmons in two-dimemsional heterostructures: Application to tilted semi-Dirac materials

We derived closed-form analytic expressions for the plasmon dispersion equations for two and three monolayers embedded in a non-uniform dielectric medium with a surface. There is no electron tunneling between the layers or hybridization of the layer polarizability. The dispersion equations are deduced from calculated expressions for the corresponding surface response functions (SRFs) generated by a frequency-dependent external polarized electromagnetic field. The SRF is calculated by employing Maxwell's equations in conjunction with linear response theory.The dispersion functions reduce to well-known results for two and three monolayers embedded in a bulk medium with a uniform dielectric background. We examine the role played by a surface (i.e., homogeneous versus inhomogeneous dielectric background screening), for gapped tilted semi-Dirac materials (TSDMs) with half-linear, half-parabolic spectrums whose energy bands are tilted, anisotropic in wave vector space, and a gap is induced. The number of plasmon branches is always equal to the number of monolayer. However, the separation between these branches depends on the distance between the layers and crucially on the chosen dielectric material between the layers and whether there is air or a substrate surrounding the layered structure. For gapped TSDM, the Landau damping, i.e., Plasmon lifetime, varies from branch to branch as well as along the branch for a chosen wave vector direction. We examine these novel behaviors for two and three gapped TSDM monolayers assuming different values for the dielectric background. Our results could be useful for comparing theory with experimental data from electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) data.

Microscopic Modeling of Surface Roughness Scattering in Inversion Layers of MOSFETs Based on Ando's Linear Model

Surface roughness (SR) scattering in inversion layers of bulk-MOSFETs is studied from the atomistic and quantum-mechanical viewpoints. Contrary to the usual macroscopic landscape of the roughness deviation, we introduce a stochastic deviation at each atomic site to take account of the discontinuity of the spatial derivatives of the electrostatic potential and wave-function at the semiconductor/dielectric interface, leading to an ambiguity in roughness positions. It is shown that SR parameters are consistent with those known from the experiments and, thus, there is no discrepancy problem associated with the roughness parameters in our model. The self-consistent scattering rate is derived under the framework of the Green's functions scheme: We find that the SR scattering rates are intrinsically nonlocal (non-diagonal) with respect to subband indices and greatly deviate from those based on Fermi's golden rule in the regimes of strong effective fields and/or low electron energies. As a result, the conventional SR model tends to underestimate the surface-roughness-limited mobility.

Comparative Evaluation of Encapsulation Methods for Endohedral Doping of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising building blocks for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices, yet reliable and stable doping, particularly n type, remains challenging due to strong environmental sensitivity and competing extrinsic effects. Encapsulation of charge transfer molecules within the SWCNT cavity offers a promising route to stable doping while preserving the nanotubes outer surface for subsequent processing. Here, we systematically investigate the filling of arc discharge SWCNTs with the electron donor tetrathiafulvalene and electron acceptor tetracyanoquinodimethane, comparing different methods for filling, including melt filling, solution reflux, and vacuum phase sublimation. We follow the entire processing workflow from raw, unfilled powders to aqueous dispersions and employ density gradient ultracentrifugation to separate filled from empty nanotubes as well as metallic from semiconducting ones. Encapsulation efficiency and electronic modification are assessed using absorption spectroscopy, resonant Raman scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance. Finally, we introduce a complementary vacuum-phase method that removes externally adsorbed molecules without extensive solvent washing, enabling cleaner encapsulated systems.
