Current-induced domain wall motion and its application
日本京都大學 小野輝男 教授
Teruo Ono
Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University, Japan
Electrical displacement of a domain wall (DW) is a prospective method for information processing in new type of
magnetic non-volatile memories and logic devices. Although such novel spintronic devices require a low DW drive
current and a high DW de-pinning field for stable information retention, the material which satisfies these conditions
has not yet been reported in spite of intensive experimental studies.
We show that Co/Ni multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is a promising material that satisfies the
requirement described above. An electric current can drive a DW in one direction regardless of the polarity of a
magnetic field in a Co/Ni nano-wire with perpendicular magnetization, i.e., the current can drive a DW against a
magnetic field. Furthermore, both the DW velocity and the threshold current density for the DW motion show almost no
dependence on the external magnetic field. These counter-intuitive behaviors can be interpreted as the consequence that
the intrinsic pinning mechanism determines the threshold current, and the adiabatic spin torque dominates the DW
motion in this system [1-6]. The established field-insensitivity of the electrical DW motion is promising for future
spintronics applications based on the DW motion.
This work was partly supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)
Spintronics nonvolatile devices project.

Introduction to nonlinear optics and its application on the surface and interface

The theory of light waves at the boundary of nonlinear optical media was first presented in 1962. Following the
theory and the laser invention, second harmonic reflected light from media without inversion symmetry was observed.
The research field of nonlinear optics was opened and the related studies were widely extended. Among the various
optical spectroscopies used to inspect and probe surfaces and interfaces, second harmonic generation (SHG) optical
method have obtained wide recognition for their ability in determining structural symmetry and polar configuration.
Based on the sensitivity of the surface and interface, SHG method is applied to analyze the surface of semiconductor,
biomaterial, magnetic material and other polar material. We used RSHG technique to prove implanted Si, vicinal
implanted Si and ZnO thin film. Structure variations through various physical treatments and growth conditions were
inspected and explained by RSHG results. With the assistance of other tools, more physical explanations could be
stretched by SHG technique.

The surface defect of basal stacking faults (BSFs) on m-plane ZnO grown on LaAlO3(112) substrate was analyzed
by reflective second harmonic generation (RSHG), which is a technique with the ability of inspect the dipole structure.
RSHG pattern from m-plane ZnO is composed of the bulk dipole contribution of ZnO and a mirror symmetrical dipole
contribution, formed by these defects. The formation of BSFs was raised from the difference of biaxial lattice mismatch
which 1% along the direction perpendicular to the c-axis of ZnO and 2.9% parallel to the c-axis of ZnO. Moreover, the
formation of BSFs is correlated to the stress between the m-plane ZnO and LaAlO3(112). The stress relaxation would
give rise to the formation of BSFs. The trend is found by RSHG and agreed with AFM and XRD.

Design and Construction of a Confocal Microscope for Low-Temperature and
High-Magnetic-Field Applications

Department of Physics, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C
We design a confocal optical microscope system for probing samples in a low-temperature (4.2 K) and
high-magnetic-field (14 T) environment. Because of the limitation of the conventional cryogenic dewar, this system has
a very long optical path of 1600 mm compared to a typical microscope. As mention above, it will cause a very large
aberration. We carefully adjust the lens configuration to reduce the aberration by using ZEMAX simulation. The
objective lens, which will be in the low temperature environment, with a 50 mm focal length is composed of two
plano-convex and a plano-concave fused silica lenses. The tube lens in the optical head is made up of two plano-convex
lenses and with a 200 mm focal length. The magnification of this optical system is about four times. CCD camera
device is assisted in monitor the sample and a red light emitted diodes (LEDs) is adapted as the light source of the
optical microscope due to the limit of wavelength of the dichroic mirror. We placed these LEDs between the objective
lens and sample. In front of the CCD, we install a lens set to control fields of view. Between the tube lens and fiber, we
setup a spatial filter to reduce stray light. The sample stage is equipped with a XY scanner and three positioners by
making from Attocube, and its housing is totally made of Titanium. The mechanical assemblage and preliminary results
will be presented.

In this study, a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to investigate the adsorption and dynamics of
platinum atoms on Si(111) - 7x7 surface. The hopping paths of platinum on Si(111) - 7x7 surface were proposed. At
high temperature, a platinum atom can crossing the boundary of half unit cells. Using Arrhenius plot can calculate the
activation energies. The energies are 1.08±0.12eV from FHUCs jump to UFHUCs and 0.61±0.08eV from UFHUCs
jump to FHUCs. So that the platinum atoms almost location at the FHUCs. When the Si subtracts heated to 332K, there
is a new adsorption states formed by platinum and silicon. And after temperature up to 340K, there was only the new
adsorption states could be observed.

The fullerene molecules has been taken seriously and studied extensively because of its special structure and
special properties.
C84 is one of the fullerene family ,it composed of 84 carbon atoms ,and it looks like an elliptic ball. In this
experiment ,we evaporated the C84 molecules deposited on the Si substrate surface by k-cell in ultra-high vacuum
environments. Topography images of C84 embedded in Si(111) substrate were taken by the ultra-high vacuum scanning
tunneling microscope. The electrical properties were measured by the scanning tunneling spectroscopy to measure.
The previous study indicated that, the structure of rhombohedral polymeric -C60 molecules has a ferromagnetic
properties at room temperature, so we use the Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) to measure the
sample. We also use magnetic force microscopy (MFM) to observe the magnetic images and found that C84 molecule
clusters can form magnetic domains. There were non-uniform distribution of the C84 molecule clusters observed by a
wide-range- scanning.

We have proven The characteristics of angle-resolved optical second harmonic generation (SHG) reflectance from
periodically-arrayed silver-island films were investigated. The silver-island films were fabricated using micro-spherical
lithography. The SHG intensity from these arrays was more than one order of magnitude greater than that of flat silver
films for some angles of incidence. This enhancement arises from the excitation of surface plasmon resonance at the
pumping frequency. We found this resonance by analyzing the reciprocal lattice phase-matching condition for the
silver-island films. The predicted surface plasmon wave vectors are in good agreement with those obtained using
three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain numerical simulations.
This work reports the possibility of using periodically-arrayed silver-island films to linear and nonlinear optics.
However, more witness is needed for SP wave existing on separated silver-island films. Periodically-arrayed
silver-island films will be coated on prism in order to perform attenuated total reflection experiment. The expected
result should indicate that the reciprocal lattice of these silver-island films would modify the dip position of ATR
spectrum.

In this study, zinc oxide nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple sol-gel method. The size of the nanocrystals
was controlled by the molar concentration of zinc acetate dissolved in an ethanol solution. The synthesized nanocrystals
were characterized by the measurements of transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The relationship
between the quantum confinement effect and the optical properties of the nanocrystals was discussed according to the
results of photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, absorption and Raman spectra.

Co doped ZnO nanowire was fabricated by hydrothermal method. The quality of the seed layer is the key issue to
influence the formation of ZnO nanowire. Post annealing of the seed layer is a process to study the correlation between
the seed layer and ZnO nanowire growth. ZnO nanowire samples are also treated with annealing process in order to
study the thermal influence to the quality and morphological variation of ZnO nanowires.
Traditional analysis instrument are used to realize the physics of Co doped ZnO nanowire. Such as , scanning
electron microscope (SEM) is adopted to study the morphological observation, X-ray diffraction(XRD) is performed in
the quality inspection, the results of transmission spectrum (TS) and photolumiescence spectrum (PL) revealed the
energy diagram, defects and surface morphology of ZnO nanowire. However, more than two variations hides in TS
among before and after annealing process. The changes in the quality and structure of ZnO nanowire would reflect to
the slope around 3.3eV in TS, but scattering effect would cover some of above region. High surface-volume ratio of
ZnO nanowires could be applied to the requirement of high absorption in optoelectronics. Surface morphology of ZnO
nanowire induces the scattering and reduces the TS intensity. In this work, we try to distinguish the scattering effect
from TS. The results from TS, XRD, SEM and PL would present a detailed information to exclude out the quality
change and to make the scattering clear.

In recent studies, the photosensitive properties of zinc oxide were wildly applied to fabricate various photoelectric
devices, such as zinc oxide detectors, zinc oxide photosensitive field effect transistors, etc. In this presentation, we use
different lengths and different dopants of zinc oxide nanowires to discuss their effect to photosensitive properties.
Zinc oxide nanowires and nanorods were grown by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method. By adjusting the growing
condition, various lengths and morphology of products were produced. Scanning electron microscope (SEM),
transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and other
analyzing instruments were used to determine the material properties, as morphology, crystal structures, grown
orientation, composition of zinc oxide nanowires and nanorods.

Paper Diagnostic Systems
清華大學 鄭兆珉

National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan
Developing methods to answer specific scientific questions is one of the practical approaches for doing science;
optical microscopy, for example, has been a fundamental method of biological or medical discovery for more than three
centuries. Building systems or tools to solve current issues existed in the world (e.g., infectious diseases) is also one of
the attracting projects that we can involve and contribute. The developing world needs diagnostic devices that have the
lowest cost, function without supporting equipment (e.g., electricity, pumps, optics), can be integrated with wireless
communication technology for telemedicine, and are portable and easy to operate. Due to this reason, for last few years,
we have developed multiple “simple” technologies, which can be used in the developing world. I will talk about what
we have done in the Whitesides Research Group at Harvard (and what I will focus at National Tsing Hua University),
including 3-D paper-based microfluidics, paper-based ELISA for HIV detection as well as paper-based portable device
for biochemical analysis.
Immunoassay for Viruses Uisng Magnetic Nnaoparticles as Labeling Markers
S.Y. Yang (楊謝樂)
MagQu Co., Ltd.(Sindian Dist., New Taipei City, Taiwan)
Instead of real-time PCR for quantitatively detecting viruses, a novel assay platform has been demonstrated. The
core technology for this novel assay is so-called immunomagnetic reduction (IMR). In IMR, magnetic nanoparticles
functionalized with antibodies are used as labeling markers for target viruses. The ac magnetic susceptibility of
magnetic reagent is reduced as particles associate with target viruses. The reduction percentage in the ac magnetic
susceptibility depends on the concentration of the target viruses. The experimental results shown that the
virus-concentration dependent reduction percentage in ac magnetic susceptibility follows the logistic function. This
implies IMR can be applied to quantitative detection for viruses.
The specificity of assaying viruses using IMR is investigated. Due to the rotation of particles under external ac
magnetic fields, the viruses binding onto particles experience centrifugal forces. The force strength is proportional to
the square of the rotation frequency. Hence, as the frequency increases to a certain value, the centrifugal force can
against the binding between the non-target viruses and particles. Thus, a high specificity can be achieved for IMR.
Such characterizations have been explored for swine viruses, orchid viruses, potato viruses, and grouper viruses.
The assay results obtained via IMR are compared with that via real-time PCR. A high consistence is resulted.
In summary, IMR can be promisingly applied to assay viruses. Besides, IMR does show several unique merits in
practical applications:
1. Only on kind of antibody is used with magnetic reagent.
2. The low-detection limit is very close to that of real-time PCR.
3. The processes for extraction virus particles are simple. It is not necessary to extract DNA/RNA for PRC
processes.
4. The cross reaction is significantly depressed physically, not chemically.
5. The operation for signal detections are easy, just mix the reagent and the extracted virus solution.

The Application of Nanotechnology on Agricultural Environment
中興大學 林耀東

The American Ceramics Society has defined nanotechnology as “The creation, processing, characterization and
utilization of materials, devices, and systems with dimensions on the order of 0.1 to 100 nanometers, exhibiting novel
and significantly enhanced physical, chemical, and biological properties, functions, phenomena, and processes due to
their nanoscale size.” (Janeway, 2003). Nanotechnology has emerged as a major driver for future industry and economy.
Many commercial goods and devices have already been marketed. These nano-products and devices are not only
cheaper but also perform better compared with their bulk counter parts. Nanotechnology will have high impact on the
industry by differentiating new features from the existing product categories, significant cost reduction, and process
advantages. It is predicted that the nano-market will reach $29 billion (USD) by 2008 with an annual growth of >5 %
(NanoProduct, 2003).
Consumer spending throughout the world has been reduced under the impact of global financial crisis.
Taiwan’s total exports this year have also decreased dramatically, but the export of Taiwan fruits has maintained its
growing trend. Between January and July 2009 the amount and value of fresh fruit exports grew by 48.7 and 11.6% to
23,257 metric tons and US$331.16 million, respectively. And pineapple, mango, tangerine, guava, carambola, sugar
apple, wax apple and jujube exports have increased significantly. Taiwan fruits have become more and more popular on
the world market due to their high quality and diversified varieties. In Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, mainland China,
the United States and Canada, Taiwan fruits have increased their market shares, with Japan accounting for more than
50% of Taiwan fruit exports. “Taiwan fruits are of high quality and the price is more reasonable than local produce, so
they are very popular in Japan. The price of Taiwan Irwin mangos is second only to mangos produced in Miyazaki
Prefecture on the Japanese market,” noted Dr. Shu-hsien Chang of International affairs Department, the Council of
Agriculture (COA). The export of Taiwan fruits to mainland China has been increasing since cross-strait direct flights
began, with the January-July export value growing by almost 20% compared with the same period in 2008 (COA,
2009).
However, post-harvest fruits are prone to deterioration in tastes and appearance due to the ripening process which
is triggered by self producing ethylene. Currently, ethylene can be controlled by biological and/or by environmental
methods. The biological control in essence is to slow the self-production of ethylene in fruits post harvest. This is
done by lowering the temperature of the storage space such as cooling or genetically altering the gene that controls the
production of ethylene in fruits. Cooling is a common practice as long as the fruits are in storage, but it is impractical
during shipping and therefore is energy intensive. Genetic engineering control has low public acceptance due to the
fear for long-term health risk. Atmospheric control of ethylene is generally performed by using physical-chemical
methods such as chemical oxidation with potassium permanganate or the adsorption with activated carbon and charcoal
incorporated with Pd (Abe & Watada, 1991). But adsorbents, especially the Pd-impregnated one, can have large
environmental footprint. Recently photocatalytic TiO2 has also been investigated as a means to remove ethylene by
oxidation (Lin et al. 2010). Catalysts in the form of multivalent-metal oxides have also been suggested (Conte et al.
1992). Photocatalytic TiO2 is effective, but it only works in the presence of (solar) light. There is need to develop
effective adsorbents and catalysts of small environmental footprint for the removal of ethylene.
The research aim at developing nanomaterials for the control of the post-harvest ripening process of fruits. The
goal is to develop innovative methods for the removal of ethylene in-situ using nanomaterials, namely, nano-adsorbents
and nano-catalysts. Nanosensor, specifically for on-line real-time monitoring of ethylene molecules will also be
attempted. The responses of plants and animals to these newly synthesized nanomaterials will also be assessed in vivo

A biosensor is an analytical device for the detection of biomolecular interaction analysis and is helpful to the
development of medical appliance. The biosensor has high sensitivity and selectivity with combining photoelectric
technology and biochemistry. The technique of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is commonly used for monitoring the
micro-adsorption of biomolecules among numerous biosensors. The SPR-based sensors have many advantages, such as
label-free, real time, high sensitivity and accuracy so that it widely applies in many areas.
In this study, we developed a novel SPR biosensor that can acquire the data of full SPR spectrum in real time,
called full-SPR-spectrum image sensor. This system was improved from attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique. It
was utilized convex lenses to generate a cone-shaped beam and cause the multi-angle of incident light. A dark line
which indicates the dip position of the SPR spectrum was shown in the full-SPR-spectrum image. This system is
applied to detect the variation of Zein protein with TiO2 photocatalyst reaction. By analyzing the data of images, we
observed the shift of SPR dip and estimated the various adsorptions.

Many insects have two or three ocelli on the front of their heads. They are considered to assist compound eyes
detecting light intensity. However, they are unfocused seriously (farsightedness)1, so it is difficult to form clear image
by ocelli. The poor resolution of ocelli is associated with helping to balance the insect during flight2. We study their
characters through electronic circuit and optical setup to simulate focused and unfocused ocelli. It is found that
unfocused ocelli have stronger signal, larger range of detection, and poorer angular resolution than focused one when
viewing wide range of light source in our experiments.

In this work, we have modified dull tips by electron beam induced deposition (EBID) in order to improve the
measurements of scanning probe microscopy. For atomic force microscopy (AFM), a high-aspect-ratio tip is capable of
precisely acquiring the topographic images of deep trench structures. For field-sensitive scanning probe microscopy,
such as electric force microscopy (EFM) and scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM), a high-aspect-ratio tip may
obviously reduce the stray field effect on experimental results, improving the spatial resolution of measurements. The
AFM images also revealed that the EBID-modified tip is capable of analyzing trench profiles with higher spatial
resolution. In addition, the tip apex modification is also helpful to recycle and to reuse the used AFM tips.

We study the low-frequency noise properties of poly-silicon liquid-gate field effect transistors
(FET). The device is used as a sensor to detect different pH value variation. There are two kind of
different source-drain channels. One is the single-wire channel and another is the multi-wire
channel. The channel lengths are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 µm, respectively. The typical resistances of the
drain-source channels are from few kΩ to hundreds of kΩ at room temperature. The gate voltage
(Vgs) is provided by a home-made battery bank. The drain-source voltage (Vds) is given by the
internal DC voltage source of the current amplifier (SR570). The drain-source current (Ids) is
amplified by SR570 and then fed into a low-noise voltage preamplifier (SR560). Finally, the
time-domain signal is detected by a network signal analyzer (SR780). We can deduce the noise
spectral density from the time-domain data by computer programming. We examine the noise
behaviors at various Vgs or Vds conditions. At same Vgs, we find that the higher Vds is, the larger the
noise becomes. The excess noise of the source-drain channels is also investigated.
The specific heat and thermal conductivity measurements by 3ω

The 3ω methods are general used to measure the thermal conductivity and specific heat of a substrates adjoining
to strip heater or a suspended wire. We will present the general case of a line heater that is also used to sense
temperature. The heater create a temperature fluctuation and as a sensor to measure its thermal response. The heater
wire is heated by applying a sinusoidal current at an angular frequency ω, which causes a temperature and resistance
variation at an angular frequency, 2ω, leading to a voltage signal at 3ω. The sample is connected as a four-terminal
resistor to a digital lock-in amplifier, which is used to detect the in-phase and out-of-phase 3ω voltages resulting from
the applied 1ω current. With a modern lock-in amplifier, no common-mode voltage subtraction is necessary, which
simplifies the experiment compared to the common practice of balancing a bridge or using a multiplying
digital-to-analog converter. The preliminary results and mechanical parts will be presented.

To overcome the drawback of dielectric losses, optical devices composed of superconductors have been proposed
[1-4], in which the dielectric function of the dispersive superconductor is governed by frequency and temperature.
Herein, we demonstrate the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) assisted transmission in periodic Nb grating numerically.
The near-field profile shows that the transmission maximums and minimums are due to the formation of SPPs in
symmetric and asymmetric arrangements. We perform numerical calculations using finite element method [5] in
conjunction with a two-fluid model [6]. The drawing of Nb grating surrounded by vacuum is displayed in Figure (a),
where the cross-section of Nb grating is assumed to be circle with diameter D and period a. Figure (b) shows the
transmission spectra of the Nb grating as a function of normalized frequency ω* with D = 0.4a and temperature T = 8.9
K. As ω* swept from 0 to 1, the 100% transmission is gradually decreased approaching to zero transmission except for
two very sharp transmission peaks appeared at ω* of around 0.45. The two sharp transmissions denoted as SPP1 and
SPP2 are observed due to the formation of SPPs that are symmetrically formed along the surface of Nb grating as
displayed in the near field profiles in the insets of Figure (b). On the contrary, the deep dips between two sharp
transmission peaks are attributed to the asymmetric formation of SPPs that block electromagnetic wave propagating
through Nb grating. The simulation results apparently indicate that dynamic formation of symmetric SPPs can assist the
transmission in the periodic Nb grating.

Highly anisotropic magnetic properties of nanostructures, such as infinite hollow/solid magnetic cylinders, are
scientifically and technologically interesting for fundamental physics understanding and potential applications in
spintronics. However, infinite hollow cylinders are not suitable to be connected with electronic device in reality. The
solution is using finite cylinders to instead of infinite cylinders. In this report, magnetization reversal in
hundred-nanometer-scaled permalloy hollow cylinders arrays have been investigated by using an alternating gradient
magnetometer. The dimension of a permalloy hollow cylinder was fabricated as a diameter of 300 nm, a height of 800
nm, and a wall thickness of 20 nm as shown in Fig. 1. The arrays are arranged in hexagonal lattices with periods in
ranging from 500 to 1500 nm. M-H loops reveal magnetization reversal behaviors of permalloy cylinder arrays when
the hexternal magnetic fields are perpendicular and parallel to the long axis of a cylinder. Figure 2 shows the easy axis
of a individual permalloy cylinder is perpendicular to the long axis of cylinder and the coercive field is about 15 Oe that
is smaller than permalloy sheet film (is about 50 Oe). With increasing the inter-coupling between cylinders, the coercive
fields of a permalloy cylinder array is increased.

Superconducting films with composite pinning sites are made with electron-beam lithography and reaction dry
etching techniques. Two series of samples with different kinds of composite arrays are made. These composite pinning
arrays consist of relatively large pinning sites and relatively small pinning sites. In all the samples, the distance between
the neighboring pinning sites is 400 nm. For the first series of samples (series A), the large pinning sites are positioned
on a honeycomb grid and the small pinning sites are positioned at the center of every hexagonal cell formed by the large
pinning sites. For the second series of samples (series B), the small pinning sites are positioned on a honeycomb grid
and the large pinning sites are positioned at the center of every hexagonal cell formed by the small pinning sites. In
these samples, the diameter of the large pinning sites is kept as 300 nm, and the sizes of the small pinning sites are 150
nm, 200 nm and 250 nm respectively. Magnetotransport measurements are carried out by a four-probe technique.
Special critical currents matching peaks are observed for these films at different temperatures. The positions and
structures of the matching peaks seem irregular and are very different from those for previously explored films, such as
films with triangular, square or honeycomb pinning arrays. There are prominent 50 and 100 Oe intervals between the
matching peaks which are corresponding to the density of the large and small pinning site density. By considering the
multiple-vortex filling of different pinning sites and simulations of the film with different pinning sites, we could give a
reasonable explanation to this interesting phenomenon.

Superconducting niobium thin films with spacing-graded array of submicrometer-scaled holes had been fabricated
by sputtering and electron-beam lithography techniques. The electrical characteristics and magnetoresistance
measurements were realized with the external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the film plane by the
superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), in which commensurable effects were observed in both
experiments. It was obvious that rectified voltage was exhibited in the measurements when the vortex lattice is driven
by an injected alternating current. The magnetoresistance with positive/negative directions of direct current revealed the
same curves except the dips at matching fields separated.Two different current-voltage curves, which resulted from the
positive and negative applied current directions, were discerned when the external magnetic field was fixed at the
matching fieldIt is believed to be due to asymmetry pinning potential in the spacing-graded array of holes.

Optical transmission properties of periodic gold nanoring arrays fabricated on a free-standing silicon nitride
membrane have been investigated experimentally and numerically. The transmission dips caused by the localized
surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are observed and the simulated results show pretty good agreement with the
experimental data. The analysis of the electric field distributions indicates the existence of symmetric bonding modes
and asymmetric anti-bonding modes of LSPR in the gold nanoring arrays. In addition, the electric field may be
enhanced not only at the center of the gold nanorings but also in the spaces between the rings. Moreover, a transition
from the anti-bonding mode to bonding mode is achieved by increasing the thickness of the ring. This phenomenon
could be interpreted by the effect of linewidth-thickness ratio successfully. These properties may provide valuable and
promising applications of advanced LSPR optical devices.

Organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells are cheap alternatives to conventional silicon solar cells. Due to the
composition of both organic and inorganic materials, the devices take the advantages of inorganic semiconductors, such
as high optical absorption and high carrier mobility, while maintaining the easy processing attributes of polymers and
other soft materials. However, the interface characteristic has become a major technical barrier to advance the
development of such novel devices. In this study, we employed a self-consistent drift-diffusion and Poisson solver to
theoretically investigate the interface effects on the device performance using poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and Si as
the hypothetical material system. A very thin interface layer with a large number of defect states distributed within the
silicon bandgap is assumed and inserted in the model. Moreover, the ultimate power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of
hybrid solar cells based on n- and p-type silicon are also predicted for different band gaps and band alignment with
respect to the crystalline silicon. For n-type silicon, an organic material with a bandgap of 1.2-2eV and an electron
affinity of 3-3.5eV achieves a PCE of 16% efficiency. Then, the simulated PCEs with different thickness of organic
layer show that the thinner organic layer we have, the better PCEs it will be. We also observe a decreased PCE when
the interface density of states increases, mainly resulting from open-circuit voltage decreasing.

Sub-wavelength structure (SWS) used as the antireflective layer has offered a new possibility in suppression of the
Fresnel reflection. Due to spatially graded structural profile in a single layer, the SWS antireflective coating exhibits not only
broadband and omnidirectional antireflective characteristic, but also polarization insensitivity. The conversion efficiency of
solar cell is affected by the SWS antireflective coating. But the nanoscale photovoltaic effect of SWS under light illumination
has not yet been investigated in detail.
Scanning near-field microscopy (SNOM) with the near-field optical beam induced current (NOBIC) technique is
introduced to investigate the nanoscale photovoltaic effect of SWS. SNOM is a powerful technique that scan the metal-coated
tapered fiber, illuminating only that area of the sample that lies directly under the tip aperture. By shear-force feedback, the
sample is always illuminated in the near-field. Combining with lock-in amplifier, the photovoltaic response can be measured.
As such , SNOM provides the 2D mapping of both topographic and optical or photovoltaic information simultaneously.
Thus, Photoelectric conversion characteristics of a tri-junction solar cell with biomimetic antireflective nanostructure are
investigated by using SNOM incorporating the NOBIC technique. The mappings of the topography and photocurrent induced
by incident light with different wavelengths can be obtained simultaneously. By analysis the measured data from SNOM, the
photovoltaic response of SWS is observed. The measured results of NOBIC show the optical conversion efficiency is mostly
harvested near the valley of the nanostructures, which serve as light guides for incident light with three different wavelengths.
The observation is also consistent with the simulation results using a rigorous coupled wave analysis.

In this study, we report the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of Ni3Fe nanowire array by using microwave (MW)
reflectometry. Nanowire arrays with porosities of 28 %、45 %、100 % and 6 % were grown by electrodeposition into the
pores of anodic aluminum oxide membranes and commercial film, respectively. The diameter of the nanowires grown
on the anodic aluminum oxide membranes is about 50 nm and the length is 3 µm. For those grown on the commercial
film, the diameter is 200 nm and the length is 4 µm. The sample is placed on a 1-mm-wide copper ribbon, which
connects the central lead and the grounded shielding at the end of a flattened SMA connector and forms a short- circuit
detection test fixture. We applied the MW signal with frequency ranging from 1 GHz to 13 GHz and detected the
magnitude of the reflected signal at magnetic fields from 4.5 kOe to -4.5 kOe by using a vector network analyzer. The
angle between the growth direction of nanowires and the magnetic field can be tuned from 0° to 90°. The magnetic field
where FMR exists increases as the MW frequency increases. When the angle between the magnetic field and the growth
direction of nanowires increases, the magnetic field of FMR decreases. As the angle increases, the sample with smaller
porosity possesses a larger change in the resonance magnetic field. When the porosity of sample is close to 33%, the
resonance magnetic field is independent of the angle

A 175 nm-thick YBa2Cu3O7-x film with a 120 nm Au layer was deposited on a polished SrTiO3 substrate by RF
magnetron sputtering. The Au layer was used as a fabrication mask, a protective layer on the YBa2Cu3O7-x thin film, and
to increase the accuracy of milling. The bridge was patterned from a 5 µm YBa2Cu3O7-x microbridge which was
predefined by a standard photolithography with argon ion milling. We have fabricated a superconducting nanobridge
from an YBa2Cu3O7-x thin film by a focused ion beam method. The superconducting properties of the nanobridges were
determined by electrical characterizations, consisting of resistance versus temperature and critical current versus
temperature measurements. We analyze the experimental result of the different nanobridges to fit the model.
Josephson Effects in High-Tc YBCO Variable-Thickness Bridges

This work introduces the method of variable thickness bridges (VTB) for fabricating high-Tc Josephson junctions
and DC SQUIDs. Focused Ion Beam (FIB) is used to control the thickness of the junction under a nanometer. The
region that links the two electrodes exhibits the weak link effect.
YBa2Cu3O7-X (YBCO) VTBs were fabricated with widths of 1-3 µm and a thickness of 150 nm using the standard
techniques of photolithography and Ar+ ion milling. The thickness of the junctions was maintained between 40 and 90
nm. When the thickness of the junction was close to 80 nm, the voltage-current curve revealed RSJ-like behavior at 77
K. The critical current vs. temperature curve satisfies the general equation, Tc ∝ (1 − T Tc ) ,with α=2 near Tc and 1 at
α
low temperature.
Shapiro steps were observed in a single junction at frequencies from 3.02 to 14.64 GHz. The widths of the current steps
revealed oscillatory behavior with irradiation intensities.

Quantum Hall effect has been observed by K. v. Klitzing1, and plateaux of Hall resistance is now employed in
building standard of resistance.
We perform the measurement of magnetoresistance for the chips cut from the same GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure
wafer at low temperature (Fig. 1). The 0.5-µm layer of undoped GaAs was deposited on a semi-insulating GaAs (100)
substrate, in series covered by undoped 20-period superlattice of 2-nm Al0.3Ga0.7As/2-nm GaAs, and a 1-µm layer of
undoped GaAs, a 20-nm layer of undoped Al0.3Ga0.7As, a 50-nm layer of n-type Si-doped Al0.3Ga0.7As, finally a 10-nm
layer of undoped GaAs on the top. The two-dimensional electron system is predicted to be formed near the
heterojunction between 1-µm undoped GaAs and 20-nm undoped Al0.3Ga0.7As. Both longitudinal and Hall resistance
are measured (Fig. 2, 3). The robust quantum Hall phenomena are observed even when the measurement current is
increased to 40 µA (Fig. 3), or when the temperature is raised to 4.3 K. The calculated carrier concentration is
3.5×1011/cm2 at 2 K.
The Hall measurement is performed in Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), and we wish to
acknowledge C.-F. Huang for technical support and helpful discussions.
