Characterization of a double Time-Of-Flight detector system for accurate velocity measurement in a storage ring using laser beams
摘要： The Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful tool for mass measurements of exotic nuclei with half-lives as short as several tens of micro-seconds in storage rings. In order to improve the mass resolving power while preserving the acceptance of the storage ring, the IMS with two Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detectors has been implemented at the storage ring CSRe in Lanzhou, China. Additional velocity information beside the revolution time in the ring can be obtained for each of the stored ions by using the double TOF detector system. In this paper, we introduced a new method of using a 658 nm laser range finder and a short-pulsed ultra-violet laser to directly measure the distance and time delay difference between the two TOF detectors which were installed inside the 10?11 mbar vacuum chambers. The results showed that the distance between the two ultra-thin carbon foils of the two TOF detectors was ranging from 18032.5 mm to 18035.0 mm over a measurable area of 20×20 mm2. Given the measured distance, the time delay difference which comes with signal cable length difference between the two TOF detectors was measured to be ??????????????1?2 = 99(26) ps. The new method has enabled us to use the speed of light in vacuum to calibrate the velocity of stored ions in the ring. The velocity resolution of the current double TOF detector system at CSRe was deduced to be ??(??)∕?? = 4.4 × 10?4 for laser light, mainly limited by the time resolution of the TOF detectors.

Definition of design guidelines, construction, and performance of an ultra-stable scanning tunneling microscope for spectroscopic imaging
摘要： Spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy is a powerful technique to study quantum materials, with the ability to provide information about the local electronic structure with subatomic resolution. However, as most spectroscopic measurements are conducted without feedback to the tip, it is extremely sensitive to vibrations coming from the environment. This requires the use of laboratories with low-vibration facilities combined with a very rigid microscope construction. In this article, we report on the design and fabrication of an ultra-stable scanning tunneling microscope (STM) for spectroscopic-imaging measurements that operates in ultra-high vacuum and at low temperatures (4 K). We start from existing designs with sapphire as the main material and improve the stiffness further by performing finite element analysis calculations for the main components of the microscope to guide design choices on the geometry of the parts. With this strategy, we construct a STM head with measured lowest resonant frequencies above f0 = 13 kHz for the coarse approach mechanism, a value three times higher than what has been previously reported and in good agreement with the calculations. This allows us to achieve an average vibration level of ～6 fm/√Hz, without a dedicated low-vibration lab. We demonstrate the microscope’s performance with topographic and spectroscopic measurements on the correlated metal Sr2RhO4, showing the quasiparticle interference pattern in real and reciprocal space with high signal-to-noise ratio.

Ultra-High Vacuum Annealing-Assisted Quantum Wells Dimensional Tailoring for Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes Efficiency Enhancement
摘要： Quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D) perovskites featured with multiple dimensional quantum wells (QWs) have been the main candidates for optoelectronic applications. However, the excessive low-dimensional perovskite is unfavorable to the device efficiency due to the phonon-exciton interaction and the inclusion of insulating large organic cation. Herein, the low-dimensional QWs formation is suppressed by removing the organic cation 1-naphthylmethylamine iodide (NMAI) through the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) annealing. The perovskite light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) devices based on films annealed with optimized UHV conditions show higher external quantum efficiency of 13.0% and wall-plug efficiency of 11.1% compared to otherwise identical devices with films annealed in a glovebox.
