Rare-Earth Fourth-Order Multipole Moment in Cubic ErCo2 Probed by Linear Dichroism in Core-Level Photoemission

Research Abstract

We developed a method to experimentally quantify the fourth-order multipole moment of the rare-earth 4 f orbital. Linear dichroism (LD) in the Er 3d5=2 core-level photoemission spectra of cubic ErCo2 was measured using bulksensitive hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Theoretical calculation reproduced the observed LD, and the result showed that the observed result does not contradict the suggested 3 8 ground state. Theoretical calculation further showed a linear relationship between the LD size and the size of the fourth-order multipole moment of the Er 3+ ion, which is proportional to the expectation value hO0 4 þ 5O4 4i, where Om n are the Stevens operators. These analyses indicate that the LD in 3d photoemission spectra can be used to quantify the average fourth-order multipole moment of rare-earth atoms in a cubic crystal electric field.

Electronic States of an Antiferromagnet CeCuSb2 Studied by Linearly Polarized Hard X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy

Research Abstract

Band structure calculations were performed on the dense Kondo antiferromagnetic CeCuSb2 and revealed that the essential contribution to the total density of state (DOS) around EF originates from Sb 5p-Ce 5d bands while the contribution of Ce 4f band is rather small. Polarization-dependence of CeCuSb2 valence band HAXPES spectra was successfully observed. The experimental HAXPES results were described fairly well by the band structure calculations where the photoionization dependent cross section was taken into account.

Hole doping effect on the electronic structure of layered oxypnictide LaOMnAs

Research Abstract

Layered oxypnictide LaOMnAs shows an antiferromagnetic insulator-to-ferromagnetic metal transition at room temperature with increasing the defect of LaO layer which induces hole doping into the MnAs layers. In order to reveal the details of the transition, we have performed hard-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for the insulating LaOMnAs and metallic (LaO)0.7MnAs. The spectral changes in the valence band, mainly composed of Mn 3d states, Mn 2p core levels, and La 3d core-levels have been observed across the transition. Our results indicated that Mn 3d state was significantly influenced by the defect of LaO layer.

Characteristics of DC Corona in Wire to- Plane Gaps as Influenced by Back Discharge

Research Abstract

This paper is aimed at studying the performance back characteristics of DC corona in wire-to-plane gaps as influenced by back discharge at the ground plane. The back discharge is initiated at the ground plane through slits in a dielectric barrier covering the plane. The study includes the corona current-voltage characteristics of the gap as influenced by the wire radius and the spacing between the wire and plate, as well as the number of slits and width of each slit. Not only the current-voltage characteristics but also the corona initiation and the corona pulse frequency versus voltage characteristics of the gap are investigated in presence and absence of the dielectric barrier with slits.

Tuning of spectral response in dye-sensitized solar cell by co-sensitization of black dye with small organic photosensitizers

Research Abstract

A series of efficient donor-π-acceptor tiny organic dyes NA1, NA6, and NA7 were developed as co-sensitizers to improve the photovoltaic performance of the black dye-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Dye aggregation on the TiO2 surface was reduced, and improved sensitizer coverage was achieved through the introduction of a long alkoxy group in the donor part, the tuning of the anchoring parts, and the π-spacer of the co-sensitizer NA6. The spectral photoresponse was thereby dramatically improved across the spectrum from the ultraviolet to the visible range, and the recombination process was suppressed for the (black dye+NA6) co-sensitized cell compared with a single black dye. The co-sensitized black dye+NA6-based DSCs show a considerable increase in Voc (open-circuit voltage), Jsc (short-circuit current density), and FF (fill factor) to 721 mV, 21.64 mAcm−2 and 0.733, respectively. A higher efficiency of 11.43% was, consequently, achieved for the (black dye+NA6) co-sensitized cell compared to 10.56% for the DSCs based on a single black dye.
