Abstract:Electron mobility limited by surface roughness scattering in free-standing GaAs thin ribbon with an internal parabolic quantum well caused by surface state is investigated in detail. Based on analyzing the parabolic quantum well including the energy subband level, wave function and the confined potential profile in the thin ribbon by solving Schrödinger and Poisson equations self-consistently, the electron mobility could be investigated. Conclusion indicates that remote surface roughness (RSR) of the thin ribbon will change the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) mobility through the medium of barrier height fluctuation of the parabolic well in atomic scale. Calculation results reveal that the 2DEG mobility decreases with increasing roughness amplitude, which is characterized in terms of the surface roughness height and the roughness lateral size.

Recent work indicates that materials with nanoscale architectures, such as nanolayered Cu-Nb composites and nanoscale oxide dispersion-strengthened steels, are both thermally stable and offer improved performance under irradiation. Current understanding of the atomic-level response of such materials to radiation yields insights into how controlling composition, morphology, and interface-defect interactions may further enable atomic-scale design of radiation-tolerant nanostructured composite materials. With greater understanding of irradiation-assisted degradation mechanisms, this bottom-up design approach may pave the way for creating the extreme environment—tolerant structural materials needed to meet the world's clean energy demand by expanding use of advanced fission and future fusion power.

The free-standing Au20 cluster has a unique tetrahedral shape and a large HOMO-LUMO (highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) gap of around 1.8 electron volts. The “magic” Au20 has been intensively used as a model system for understanding the catalytic and optical properties of gold nanoclusters. However, direct real-space ground-state characterization at the atomic scale is still lacking, and obtaining fundamental information about the corresponding structural, electronic, and dynamical properties, is challenging. Here, using cluster-beam deposition and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, atom-resolved topographic images and electronic spectra of supported Au20 clusters are obtained. We demonstrate that individual size-selected Au20 on ultrathin NaCl films maintains its pyramidal structure and large HOMO-LUMO gap. At higher cluster coverages, we find sintering of the clusters via Smoluchowski ripening to Au20n agglomerates. The evolution of the electron density of states deduced from the spectra reveals gap reduction with increasing agglomerate size.
