Optical Property And Electronic Band Structure Of A Piezoelectric Compound Ga3po7 Studied By The First-Principles Calculation, Zhenxiang Cheng, Xiaolin Wang Jan 2008

Optical Property And Electronic Band Structure Of A Piezoelectric Compound Ga3po7 Studied By The First-Principles Calculation, Zhenxiang Cheng, Xiaolin Wang

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The structure, electronic and optical properties of a piezoelectric material, Ga3PO7 were studied by first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory. The calculated structure is in agreement with the experimental data. Band structure reveals that Ga3PO7 has a band gap of 3.69 eV. Analysis of partial density of states and Mulliken charge population indicates existence of GaO5 and PO4 anion groups in Ga3PO7. Furthermore, its optical properties, including dielectric constant, absorption, reflectivity, refractive index, and electron loss were calculated and analysed, which show that Ga3 …


Correlation Between Doping Induced Disorder And Superconducting Properties In Carbohydrate Doped Mgb2, Jung Ho Kim, S X. Dou, Sangjun Oh, M Jercinovic, E Babic, T Nakane, Hiroaki Kumakura Jan 2008

Correlation Between Doping Induced Disorder And Superconducting Properties In Carbohydrate Doped Mgb2, Jung Ho Kim, S X. Dou, Sangjun Oh, M Jercinovic, E Babic, T Nakane, Hiroaki Kumakura

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

A comprehensive study of the effects of carbohydrate doping on the superconductivity of MgB2 has been conducted. In accordance with the dual reaction model, more carbon substitution is achieved at lower sintering temperature. As the sintering temperature is lowered, lattice disorder is increased. Disorder is an important factor determining the transition temperature for the samples studied in this work, as evidenced from the correlations among the lattice strain, the resistivity, and the transition temperature. It is further shown that the increased critical current density in the high field region can be understood by a recently-proposed percolation model [M. Eisterer …


Magnetic Anisotropy Of Naxcoo2 Single Crystals, Dapeng Chen, Xiaolin Wang, C T Lin, S X. Dou Jan 2008

Magnetic Anisotropy Of Naxcoo2 Single Crystals, Dapeng Chen, Xiaolin Wang, C T Lin, S X. Dou

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

We report the magnetic properties of single crystals of NaxCoO2 (x=0.42, 0.82, and 0.87). The magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed considerable anisotropy along H parallel to ab and H parallel to c for the as-grown single crystals. It was found that an antiferromagnetic transition with a Neel temperature T-N=21 K occurred for the x=0.82 sample, and there was a paramagnetic phase for the x=0.87 sample over a wide temperature range from 2 to 300 K, but the sample with x=0.42 shows a monotonic increase of chi with increasing temperature above similar to 100 K. In addition, …
