  • A novel method to measure the scale factor for the all-optical atomic spin inertial measurement device (ASIMD) is demonstrated in this paper. The method can realize the calibration of the scale factor by a self-consistent method with small errors in the quiescent state. At first, the matured IMU (inertial measurement unit) device was fixed on an optical platform together with the ASIMD, and it has been used to calibrate the scale factor for the ASIMD. The results show that there were some errors causing the inaccuracy of the experiment. By the comparative analysis of theory and experiment, the ASIMD was unable to keep pace with the IMU. Considering the characteristics of the ASIMD, the mismatch between the driven frequency of the optical platform and the bandwidth of the ASIMD was the major reason. An all-optical atomic spin magnetometer was set up at first. The sensitivity of the magnetometer is ultra-high, and it can be used to detect the magnetization of spin-polarized noble gas. The gyromagnetic ratio of the noble gas is a physical constant, and it has already been measured accurately. So a novel calibration method for scale factor based on the gyromagnetic ratio has been presented. The relevant theoretical analysis and experiments have been implemented. The results showed that the scale factor of the device was $7.272V/^{\circ}/s$ by multi-group experiments with the maximum error value 0.49%.

  • The ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$-TrFE) and $Al_2O_3$ passivation layer for the Metal/Insulator/Ferroelectric/Semiconductor (MIFS) structure were deposited using spin coating and remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RPALD), respectively. A 2.5 ~ 3 wt % diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$: TrFE=70:30) in a DMF solution were prepared and deposited on silicon wafer at a optimized spin speed. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at 150 ~ $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper insulator layer were deposited at temperature ranging from 100 ~ $150^{\circ}C$ by RPALD. We described electrical and structural properties of MIFS fabricated by spin coating and RPALD methods.

  • Recently, the electron transport layer (ETL) has become one of the key components for high-performance perovskite solar cell (PSC). This study is motivated by the nonreproducible performance of ETL made of spin coated SnO2 applied to a PSC. We made a comparative study between tin oxide deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or spin coating to be used as an ETL in N-I-P PSC. 15 nm-thick Tin oxide thin films were deposited by ALD using tetrakisdimethylanmiotin (TDMASn) and using reactant ozone at 120 ℃. PSC using ALD SnO2 as ETL showed a maximum efficiency of 18.97 %, and PSC using spin coated SnO2 showed a maximum efficiency of 18.46 %. This is because the short circuit current (Jsc) of PSC using the ALD SnO2 layer was 0.75 mA/cm2 higher than that of the spin coated SnO2. This result can be attributed to the fact that the electron transfer distance from the perovskite is constant due to the thickness uniformity of ALD SnO2. Therefore ALD SnO2 is a candidate as a ETL for use in PSC vacuum deposition.

  • To detect superoxide anion ($O_2{\cdot}^-$) or singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) in biological systems during gamma irradiation, specific chemical probes, 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzene disulfonic acid (Tiron) or 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (TEMP), were evaluated. Tiron or TEMP spin adducts was structurally stable in aqueous solution during gamma irradiation up to 500 or 1,000 Gy, respectively. The signal of Tiron semiquinone radical, a spin adduct of Tiron upon reaction with $O_2{\cdot}^-$, was slightly increased by gamma irradiation. This trend was dose-dependently manifested in $O_2$-saturated aqueous solution using nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT), a common probe for both hydrated electron ($e{^-}_{aq}$) and $O_2{\cdot}^-$. In contrast, a spin adduct of TEMP, was never inducible by gamma irradiation, while its signal was substantially enhanced by photosensitization of riboflavin. These results suggest that Tiron and NBT or TEMP could be utilized to detect $O_2{\cdot}^-$ or $^1O_2$ in biological systems during gamma irradiation, although $O_2{\cdot}^-$ or $^1O_2$ are not the main reactive oxygen species produced by water radiolysis.

  • Very recently, it was presented that the one dimensional (1D) CuO atomic chains can maintain large magnetic moments. In this work, we analyzed m-resolved density of states (DOS) to understand the peculiar spin polarization occurred in Cu atoms. It was found that the $\mid{m}\mid=1$ states play an essential role in the spin polarization of Cu atoms. In addition, we calculated magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and observed that the distribution of MAE is strongly sensitive to the interatomic distance between Cu and O atoms. Besides, it was revealed that the contribution to MAE comes for the second half of Brillouin zone (BZ).

  • Gamma-ray treatment was used to exterminate nematodes, which were harmful to agriculture When gamma-ray at the dose range of $5\~75$ kGy was irradaidated, nematodes were reduced by $40\~50\%$ When irradiated over 30 kGy, almost nematodes were non-mobile and fluorochromatic reactions showed that $60\;\~80\%$ of nematodes with non-mobility died after irradiation. The results of electron spin resonance spectroscopy suggested that radicals generated by radiolysis could damage to nematodes.

  • Neutron total cross sections of seperated isotopes were measured with the time-of-flight spectrometer at the 3 MeV Karlsruhe Van do Graaff Accelerator. The neutron energy ranged from 10 to 250 keV. The energy resolution was between 0.2 and 0.5 nsce/m. The measured cross sections were-shape-analyzed in terms of an R-matrix multilevel formula. Thus neutron widths and spins for up to 50 resonances per isotope could be determined. Average neutron widths, level densities and strength functions were derived. The spin dependence of strength functions and the distribution of widths and spacings were investigated.

  • The structure and magnetic properties of Fe-Ni films, deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on Si(111) wafer, have been studied. The spin wave stiffness constant is determined by Brillouin light scattering (BLS) and compared with the value obtained from magnetization measurements. The range of exchange interaction was determined as 0.4 atomic distances in the film deposited in a bias magnetic field, which is 1/2 that in the film grown in no bias magnetic field. The results show that the dimensions of exchange coupling increased by the sputtering in the magnetic field.
