Both nanostructures are proven to be single crystals with cubic structure, and they both grow along the [001] direction. Formation of both nanostructures is attributed to the vapor-liquid-solid（VLS） mechanism, and the content of boron vapor is proposed to be the reason for their different morphologies at various evaporation distances. Field emission（FE） measurements show that the maximum current density of both the as-grown nanowires and nanopencils can be several hundred μA/cm^2, and their FN plots deviate only slightly from a straight line. Moreover, we prefer the generalized Schottky-Nordheim（SN） model to comprehend the difference in FE properties between the nanowires and nanopencils. The results reveal that the nonlinearity of FN plots is attributable to the effect of image potential on the FE process, which is almost independent of the morphology of the nanostructures.All the research results suggest that the SmB6 nanostructures would have a more promising future in the FE area if their surface oxide layer was eliminated in advance.展开更多
文摘通过LD端面抽运Nd∶YAG激光腔镜膜系的合理设计,抑制Nd∶YAG晶体最强跃迁对应的1064 nm波长和相邻的1319 nm波长的激光振荡,成功实现了1338 nm单波长激光输出。实验中对比了平平和平凹腔型,研究了连续运转和声光调Q模式下的激光输出。连续运转模式时,在12.9 W的抽运功率下,获得了最高3.25 W的1338 nm激光输出;声光调Q模式下,1338 nm激光的平均输出功率和脉冲宽度随着重复频率的减小而下降。在12.9 W的抽运功率下,当声光调Q重复频率从15 k Hz减少到5 k Hz,平均输出功率由2.8 W降低到1.9 W,对应的脉冲峰值功率由1.7 k W升高到5.4 k W。
