Polarization-locked VCSEL with PM f iber pigtail for quantum communication
2012
Chinese Optics Letters (COL)
Quantum communication is a new technology requiring a stable and reliable laser source for communication security. A new kind of polarization-locked vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with polarization maintaining (PM) fiber pigtail is fabricated as a decoy state laser source. The VCSEL is packaged in a standard butterfly box integrated with thermoelectric coder (TEC) and thermistor. The optical pulse width of full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) is smaller than 400 ps with a 100-MHz

Synthesis of θ-Al2O3 Whiskers with Twins
2021
Metals
In this work, θ-Al2O3 whiskers with twins were successfully fabricated by a hydrothermal method followed by annealing at 1000 °C in argon atmosphere using Al2(SO4)3·18H2O, CO(NH2)2 and PEG2000 as initial materials. It is confirmed that precursor of AlO(OH) whiskers is suitable to be used for preparing alumina whiskers when the molar ratio of Al3+: CO(NH2)2 is selected to be 1:6. The mean length of obtained whiskers is 1.5 μm and the average width is 0.1 μm. Interestingly, it is found that the

... -prepared θ-Al2O3 whiskers consist of twins with (100) plane as the twin surface, which is ascribed to the phase transformation from tetragonal phase (δ-Al2O3) to monoclinic phase (θ-Al2O3) during the annealing. Additionally, the specific surface area of θ-Al2O3 whiskers is measured to be 38.2 m2/g.
Electronic confinement in quantum dots of twisted bilayer graphene
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Electronic properties of quantum dots (QDs) depend sensitively on their parent materials. Therefore, confined electronic states in graphene QDs (GQDs) of monolayer and Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene are quite different. Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) is distinct from monolayer and Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene because of the new degree of freedom: twist angle. In the past few years, numerous efforts have been made to realize the GQDs of monolayer and Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene and

... ed great success. Thus far, however, strategies for realizing GQDs of TBG have been elusive. Here, we demonstrate a general approach for fabricating stationary GQDs of TBG by introducing nanoscale p-n junctions with sharp boundaries in the TBG. We verify the confinement of low-energy massless Dirac fermions via whispering-gallery modes in the GQDs of TBG. Unexpectedly, electronic states around van Hove singularities of the TBG are also strongly modified around the GQDs. Such a feature has never been reported and is attributed to spatial variation of the interlayer coupling in the TBG induced by the GQDs.

Multi-orbital model reveals second-order topological insulator in 1H-transition metal dichalcogenide
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Recently, a new class of second-order topological insulators (SOTIs) characterized by an electronic dipole has been theoretically introduced and proposed to host topological corner states. As a novel topological state, it has been attracting great interest and experimentally realized in artificial systems of various fields of physics based on multi-sublattice models, e.g., breathing kagome lattice. In order to realize such kind of SOTI in natural materials, we proposed a symmetry-faithful

... orbital model. Then, we reveal several familiar transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers as a material family of two-dimensional SOTI with large bulk gaps. The topologically protected corner state with fractional charge is pinned at Fermi level due to the charge neutrality and filling anomaly. Additionally, we propose that the zero-energy corner state preserves in the heterostructure composed of a topological nontrivial flake embedded in a trivial material. The novel second-order corner states in familiar TMD materials hold promise for revealing unexpected quantum properties and applications.
Novel Phases of Semi-Conducting Silicon Nitride Bilayer: A First-Principle Study

2017
arXiv

In this paper, we have predicted the stabilities of several two-dimensional phases of silicon nitride, which we name as α-phase, β-phase, and γ-phase, respectively. Both α- and β-phases has formula Si_2N_2, and are consisted of two similar layer of buckled SiN sheet. Similarly, γ-phase is consisted of two puckered SiN sheets. For these phases, the two layers are connected with Si-Si covalent bonds. Transformation between α- and β-phases is difficult because of the high energy barrier. Phonon

... ctra of both α- and β-phase suggest their thermodynamic stabilities, because no phonon mode with imaginary frequency is present. By Contrast, γ-phase is unstable because phonon modes with imaginary frequencies are found along Γ-Y path in the Brilliouin zone. Both α- and β-phase are semiconductor with narrow fundamental indirect band gap of 1.7eV and 1.9eV, respectively. As expected, only s and p orbitals in the outermost shells contribute the band structures. The p_z orbitals have greater contribution near the Fermi level. These materials can easily exfoliate to form 2D structures, and may have potential electronic applications.

Tunable Anderson metal-insulator transition in quantum spin-Hall insulators
2015
Physical Review B
We numerically study disorder effects in Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang (BHZ) model, and find that Anderson transition of quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) is determined by model parameters. The BHZ Hamiltonian is equivalent to two decoupled spin blocks which belong to the unitary class. In contrast to the common belief that 2D unitary system scales to insulator except at certain critical points, we find, through calculations scaling properties of the localization length, level statistics, and

On the other hand, direct transition from QSHI to normal insulator is found in HgTe/CdTe-type BHZ model. Furthermore, we show that the metallic phase originates from the Berry phase and can survive both inside and outside the gap.
Time and Frequency Injection into a Stabilized Fiber Link for Multi-clock Dissemination Network

arXiv

Owing to the characteristics of ultra-low loss and anti-electromagnetic interference, using optical fiber to deliver time and frequency signal has been a preferred choice for high precise clock dissemination and comparison. As a brilliant idea, one has been able to reproduce ultra-stable signals from one local station to multiple users. In this paper, we take a step further. A concept of multi-clock (in different locations) dissemination for multi-terminals is presented. By injecting frequency

... ignals into one stabilized ring-like fiber network, the relative stabilities of 3.4e-14@1s for a master clock dissemination and 5.1e-14@1s for a slave clock dissemination have been achieved. The proposed scheme can greatly simplify the future 'N' to 'N' time and frequency dissemination network, especially facing a multi-clock comparison situation.
Edge engineering of a topological Bi(111) bilayer
2014
Physical Review B
A topological insulator is a novel quantum state, characterized by symmetry-protected non-trivial edge/surface states. Our first-principle simulations show the significant effects of the chemical decoration on edge states of topological Bi(111) bilayer nanoribbon, which remove the trivial edge state and recover the Dirac linear dispersion of topological edge state. By comparing the edge states with and without chemical decoration, the Bi(111) bilayer nanoribbon offers a simple system for

A low-energy effective model is proposed to explain the distinctive spin texture of Bi(111) bilayer nanoribbon, which breaks the spin-momentum orthogonality along the armchair edge.

Topological Imbert-Fedorov Shift in Weyl Semimetals
2015
Physical Review Letters
The Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shift and the Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shift are optical phenomena which describe the longitudinal and transverse lateral shifts at the reflection interface, respectively. Here, we report the GH and IF shifts in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) - a promising material harboring low energy Weyl fermions, a massless fermionic cousin of photons. Our results show that GH shift in WSMs is valley-independent which is analogous to that discovered in a 2D relativistic material - graphene.

Furthermore, we find that the IF shift actually originates from the topological effect of the system. Experimentally, the topological IF shift can be utilized to characterize the Weyl semimetals, design valleytronic devices of high efficiency, and measure the Berry curvature.
