          Abstract

          Se obtuvieron compósitos de óxido de Zinc-óxido de Silicio fuera de estequiometría (ZnO-SiOx) por la técnica de depósito químico en fase vapor catalítico (Cat-CVD) a una temperatura de depósito de 950 0C. Los experimentos se llevaron a cabo en el rango de 800-1100 0C. Del análisis por difracción de rayos-X (XRD) y espectroscopia infrarroja por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), se encontró que a 800 0C se obtiene la fase de ZnO pura. Se observó que con el incremento de la temperatura de depósito, la estructura del material comienza a ser dominada por el SiOx hasta que solo se obtiene esta fase a 1100 0C. Sin embargo, se encontró que a 950 0C se obtiene el compósito de ZnO-SiOx. El cambio gradual de fase se asoció a la re-evaporación de Zinc (Zn) y al incremento en la movilidad superficial de los átomos de silicio (Si) al aumentar la temperatura. Los espectros de fotoluminiscencia (FL) muestran dos bandas de emisión: una desde 450 hasta 700 nm, y otra banda amplia de 600 a 1100 nm aproximadamente. Estas emisiones son relacionadas generalmente con transiciones radiativas debidas a la presencia de vacancias de oxígeno (Vo) en el ZnO y nanocristales de Si en el SiOx.

          Zinc oxide- non-stoichiometric silicon dioxide (ZnO-SiOx) composites were obtained by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD) technique at 950 0C. The experiments were carried out in the range of 800-1100 0C. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses, we found that pure ZnO phase is obtained at 800 0C. It was observed that increasing deposit temperature, the structure of deposited material is beginning to be dominated by SiOx until to 1100 0C, single amorphous SiOx phase is obtained. However, it was found an intermediate temperature (950 0C) to obtain ZnO-SiOx composite. The gradually phase shift was attributed to both zinc (Zn) re-evaporation, and increased surface mobility of silicon (Si) atoms. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed two emission bands: one from 450 until 700 nm, and the other, a broad band from 600 to 1100 nm approximately. These emissions are generally related with oxygen vacancies (Vo) in ZnO and Si nanocrystals in SiOx.

          Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar discs

          The initial stages of planet formation in circumstellar gas discs proceed via dust grains that collide and build up larger and larger bodies (Safronov 1969). How this process continues from metre-sized boulders to kilometre-scale planetesimals is a major unsolved problem (Dominik et al. 2007): boulders stick together poorly (Benz 2000), and spiral into the protostar in a few hundred orbits due to a head wind from the slower rotating gas (Weidenschilling 1977). Gravitational collapse of the solid component has been suggested to overcome this barrier (Safronov 1969, Goldreich & Ward 1973, Youdin & Shu 2002). Even low levels of turbulence, however, inhibit sedimentation of solids to a sufficiently dense midplane layer (Weidenschilling & Cuzzi 1993, Dominik et al. 2007), but turbulence must be present to explain observed gas accretion in protostellar discs (Hartmann 1998). Here we report the discovery of efficient gravitational collapse of boulders in locally overdense regions in the midplane. The boulders concentrate initially in transient high pressures in the turbulent gas (Johansen, Klahr, & Henning 2006), and these concentrations are augmented a further order of magnitude by a streaming instability (Youdin & Goodman 2005, Johansen, Henning, & Klahr 2006, Johansen & Youdin 2007) driven by the relative flow of gas and solids. We find that gravitationally bound clusters form with masses comparable to dwarf planets and containing a distribution of boulder sizes. Gravitational collapse happens much faster than radial drift, offering a possible path to planetesimal formation in accreting circumstellar discs.

            Optimization of an AMBER Force Field for the Artificial Nucleic Acid, LNA, and Benchmarking with NMR of L(CAAU)

            Locked Nucleic Acids (LNAs) are RNA analogues with an O2′-C4′ methylene bridge which locks the sugar into a C3′-endo conformation. This enhances hybridization to DNA and RNA, making LNAs useful in microarrays and potential therapeutics. Here, the LNA, L(CAAU), provides a simplified benchmark for testing the ability of molecular dynamics (MD) to approximate nucleic acid properties. LNA χ torsions and partial charges were parametrized to create AMBER parm99_LNA. The revisions were tested by comparing MD predictions with AMBER parm99 and parm99_LNA against a 200 ms NOESY NMR spectrum of L(CAAU). NMR indicates an A-Form equilibrium ensemble. In 3000 ns simulations starting with an A-form structure, parm99_LNA and parm99 provide 66% and 35% agreement, respectively, with NMR NOE volumes and 3 J-couplings. In simulations of L(CAAU) starting with all χ torsions in a syn conformation, only parm99_LNA is able to repair the structure. This implies methods for parametrizing force fields for nucleic acid mimics can reasonably approximate key interactions and that parm99_LNA will improve reliability of MD studies for systems with LNA. A method for approximating χ population distribution on the basis of base to sugar NOEs is also introduced.

              Controlling the Spontaneous Emission Rate of Monolayer MoS\(_2\) in a Photonic Crystal Nanocavity

              We report on controlling the spontaneous emission (SE) rate of a molybdenum disulfide (MoS\(_2\)) monolayer coupled with a planar photonic crystal (PPC) nanocavity. Spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL) mapping shows strong variations of emission when the MoS\(_2\) monolayer is on the PPC cavity, on the PPC lattice, on the air gap, and on the unpatterned gallium phosphide substrate. Polarization dependences of the cavity-coupled MoS\(_2\) emission show a more than 5 times stronger extracted PL intensity than the un-coupled emission, which indicates an underlying cavity mode Purcell enhancement of MoS\(_2\) SE rate exceeding a factor of 70.
