CALCULATED ELECTRONIC AND MAGNETIC-STRUCTURES OF THE NEW TERNARY RARE-EARTH IRON NITRIDE ND2FE17N3

The electronic and magnetic structures of Nd2Fe17 and Nd2Fe17N3 have been calculated using the first-principle, spin-polarized orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals method. Comparative studies of the two materials reveal important effects of the nitrogen atoms (at 9e site) on the electronic and magnetic structures. Results are presented for the total density of states, site-projected partial density of states and the spin magnetic moments on four nonequivalent Fe sites. The highest magnetic moments are found to be located on the 6c site for Nd2Fe17 and on the 9d site for Nd2Fe17N3, in agreement with the neutron and Mossbauer experiments. The variation trends of the magnetic moments on different Fe sites are discussed in terms of the separation between Fe and N atoms. Compared with Nd2Fe17, an increase in the exchange splitting of the Fe d band is found in Nd2Fe17N3, which accounts for its higher Curie temperature as observed in experiments. The calculated results show that the nitrogen atoms are charge acceptors in these compounds.

THE STUDY OF MICROSTRUCTURE IN IRON-DOPED AND SULFUR-DOPED INP CRYSTALS BY MEANS OF HREM AND COMPUTER-SIMULATION

The microstructures in iron- and sulphur-doped InP crystals were studied using both electron microscopy and electron diffraction. A modulated structure has been found in S-doped InP crystal, where the commensurate modulations corresponded to periodicities of 0.68 nm and 0.7 nm in real space and were related to the reflections of the cubic lattice in [111] and [113BAR] directions; they were indexed as q111* = 1/2(a* + b* + c*) and q113BAR* = 1/4(-a* - b* + 3c*), respectively. Single atomic layers of iron precipitate were observed, with preferred orientations along which precipitates are formed. Simulated calculations by means of the dynamical theory of electron diffraction using models for the precipitate structure were in good agreement with our experimental results. The relation between the modulated structure and the precipitates is also discussed.

PHOTOINDUCED CHANGES OF HYDROGEN-BONDING IN SEMIINSULATING IRON-DOPED INDIUM-PHOSPHIDE

After illumination with 1-1.3 eV photons during cooling-down, metastable PH modes are observed by IR absorption at 5 K in semi-insulating InP:Fe. They correlate with the photo-injection of holes, but not with a change of the charge state of the K-related centres present at equilibrium. They are explained by a change of the bonding of H, induced by hole trapping, from IR-inactive centres to PH-containing centres, stable only below 80 K. One metastable centre has well-defined geometrical parameters and the other one could be located in a region near from the interface with (Fe,P) precipitates.

Iron related emission spectra in InP

This paper presents a detailed PL study of Fe2+ related four zero-phonon(ZP) lines and their related phonon sidebands. Four zero-phonon transitions at approximate to 2800 cm(-1) along with the accompanying phonon sidebands extending down to 2400 cm(-1). There are ta two prominent regions in the phonon sidebands. One is ascribed to coupling to acoustic-type phonons (2700 cm(-1) region), the other is due to coupling to optic-type phonons (2500 cm(-1) region). Beside broad coupling with lattice modes, there are several groups of lines. They are ascribed to resonant modes, impurities induced gap modes and local modes.

On the nature of iron in InP: A FTIR study

Fe is still the commonly used dopant to fabricate semi-insulating(SI) InP, a key material for high-speed electronic and optoelectronic devices. High resolved absorption spectra of the internal d-d shell transitions at Fe2+ in InP and the related phonon sidebands and a series of iron related absorption Lines are presented. Detailed infrared absorption study of the characteristic spectra of four zero-phonon lines(ZPLs), which are attributed to transitions within the 5D ground state of Fe2+ (3d(6)) on the indium site in a tetrahedral crystal field of phosphorus atoms and their temperature effects are given.

快生型大豆根瘤菌（Rhizobium fredii）与野大豆（Glycine soja）相互作用的研究

快生型大豆根瘤菌（Rhizobium fredii）能浸染野大豆（Glycine soja）和栽培大豆（Glycine max）根部并形成固氮的根瘤。本文研究了R.fredii对野大豆的识别和侵染。通过研究R.fredii与大豆植物凝集素（SBL）结合和根毛吸附，R. fredii的EPS缺失突变株结瘤能力分析。结瘤；能力下降的突变株表面多糖分析等。发现了R.fredii与野大豆识别和侵染过程的特殊性。研究表明，（1）发现R.fredii与B.Jiaponicum和宿主的识别有不同的方式， 这在世界上是首次证明同一豆科宿主对不同的共生根瘤菌有不同的识别机制。这对认识宿主牧民性控制，研究扩大结瘤固氮范围等有重要意义；（2）第一个进行了R.fredii的Exo~-突变型的分离和鉴定。发现R. fredii的EPS产量和组成的严重发迹并不影响识别和侵染。说明在其他一些根瘤菌中发现的EPS作为宿主防御机制的保护层的作用。在R.fredii-野大豆和栽培大豆的共生结瘤中并不着急丰富了对根瘤菌EPS功能的新认识。并提出EPS作为保护层的作用与宿主植物类型有关的假设；（3）首次获得了LPS发生变化的R. fredii突变株Exol。并研究了其结瘤能力下降的现象与侵染能力和表面多糖变化的关系。提出R. fredii SG2的LPS可能在野大豆根毛郑曲和根瘤菌侵染过程中起重要作用。
