We perform the density-functional and quantum chemical calculations of adsorption of a hydrogen molecule to various kinds of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT’s). The potential energy barrier height (PBH) for the dissociative adsorption of a hydrogen molecule onto the outer wall of a nanotube decreases as the tube diameter decreases. In contrast, the PBH for H2 penetration into an open-ended nanotube increases as the tube diameter decreases, independent of the atomic geometry, i.e., zigzag or armchair structures. H2, however, cannot adsorb to the inner wall of any type of nanotube. These results on the structure-dependent H2 adsorption to SWNT’s are reasonably explained by the sp2−sp3 rehybridization caused by the interaction between the adsorbing hydrogen and carbon atoms of SWNT’s.

We have studied, for the first time, the energy and the linewidth dispersion of a plasmon in a dense two-dimensional electron system in a metallic surface-state band on a silicon surface. As expected from the considerably high effective density and long Fermi wavelength of the system, the plasmon energy dispersion exhibited an excellent agreement with the nearly free-electron theory. However, in a small wave number region below the Landau edge, we have observed an anomalous linewidth dispersion which nearly free-electron theories do not predict.

We have developed a new partitioned real-space density functional (PRDF) method and applied it to bielectrode systems under bias voltage and electric field. The electronic states, electrostatic potentials, local electric fields, and chemical potentials of biased jelliums and two Si5 clusters are fully self-consistently determined. We overcame an essential difficulty in obtaining the electronic states of biased systems from the conventional density functional method by dividing the entire system into subsystems of each electrode. The PRDF method can be applied to multielectrode systems and enables the investigation of ionic systems with computational efficiency.

We investigated the oxygen isotope effect (IE) on the transition temperature Tc in the spin-triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4 (with the intrinsic Tc0=1.5K). A clear IE shift in Tc was observed. Moreover, we found that the IE coefficient alpha exhibits an unusual variation with Tc. For lower-Tc crystals containing impurities and defects, α is positive and increases with decreasing Tc; α(Tc) is described well by the universal behavior expected theoretically. However, for crystals with Tc approaching Tc0, α deviates from the universal α(Tc) and becomes negative. We discuss its possible mechanism on the basis of existing models.

We study the free GaAs surface by using a back-gated undoped GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs heterostructure. This structure is suitable in investigating the free GaAs surface since a two-dimensional electron gas is induced by the back-gate bias in the undoped heterostructure. We compare the channel depth dependence of the transport characteristics with two different models of the free GaAs. The “midgap pinning model” assumes a constant surface Fermi level and an alternative approach called the “frozen surface model” assumes a constant surface charge density. The experimental results indicate that the frozen surface model appropriately describes free GaAs surfaces at low temperatures although the midgap pinning model is widely accepted. This is because charges cannot be transferred to the free GaAs surface at low temperatures.

A detailed analysis of models that have been used for describing the dynamics of the cantilever in large-amplitude noncontact dynamic force microscopy is presented. For each model, attention is especially paid to the nonlinear nature of the problem and its implication for experiments. In particular, in the steady-state approximation where the equations of motion for an externally and self-driven oscillator are rigorously identical, the theory predicts the existence of unstable solutions whether the interaction force is dissipative or not. The need to go beyond the steady-state approximation by including the finite-time response of the system to a change of tip-surface separation or interaction during the scanning is also discussed.

Polarization-dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy was used to analyze the electronic band structure of the Si(111)−21×21(R±10.89°)−Ag surface induced by adding submonolayer Ag atoms on top of the Si(111)-3×3-Ag surface at 140 K, together with a refinement of the electronic states of the initial 3×3-Ag substrate itself. The surface-state band crossing the Fermi level on the the 3×3-Ag surface was found to have similar dispersions in both Γ¯−K¯ and Γ¯−M¯ directions around the Γ¯ point of the 3×3 surface Brillouin zone, and consist mainly of components parallel to the surface with no measurable polarization dependence. The five intrinsic surface-state bands observed on the 3×3-Ag surface basically remained in the 21×21-Ag structure, but shifted down in energy position from the Fermi level by about 0.4 eV. This is due to electron transfer from the Ag adatoms to the substrate, suggesting that the Ag adatoms in the 21×21-Ag phase sit on a nearly unaltered 3×3-Ag substrate, and do not make any orbital hybridization with the substrate. Only one parabolic band crossing the Fermi level was found on the 21×21-Ag surface, for which distribution in real space is observed by bias-dependent scanning tunneling microscopy. This result is in contrast to two metallic bands on the 21×21 phase induced by Au or Cu adatoms on the 3×3-Ag substrate reported in previous papers.

We review our recent results on properties of high quality B-doped homoepitaxial diamond thin films grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) by using trimethylboron (TMB) as a B source gas. The conventional (one-step) and the two-step growth methods were used for film preparation. The latter realized smooth surface without any non-epitaxial crystallites (UCs). The films showed a sharp Raman shift peak at 1332 cm —1 , a strong free-excitonic emission at room temperature, and high Hall mobility as high as 1000 cm 2 /Vs or more, indicating high-quality diamond. We also successfully realized resistivity control of the films in a wide range from 10 0 to 10 5 Ω cm due to low compensation ratio. Using the two-step growth method, Schottky junctions with the ideality factor n of 1.1 or less and undetectable leakage current could be prepared between various metals such as Al, Zn, Cr, Ni, Au or Pt and oxidized B-doped CVD diamond films. In particular, we successfully made nearly ideal Schottky junctions using highly B-doped films in the order of 10 17 cm —3 , indicating that the quality of the present B-doped films is comparable with or higher than those of conventional semiconductors such as Si and GaAs.

Drastic effect of additional Mo on diamond nucleation was observed in the system of Mc60Cc40 (mixture of 60 mol% MgCO3 and 40 mol% CaCO3)-graphite at 7.7 GPa, 1700 and 1800 degrees C for 1 h. The decrease of temperature required for nucleation of diamond by addition of Mo is 200 degrees C, compared with the temperature in the system of Mc60Cc40-graphite (Sato et al., Diamond Related Mater. 8 (1999) 1900). These results indicate that a lower energy barrier is expected for the nucleation in the Mc60Cc40-Mo-graphite system. Therefore, this nucleation process in the system of Mc60Cc40-graphite-Mo can be considered to be different from the spontaneous nucleation in the system of Mc60Cc40-graphite. Two probable models for nucleation can be suggested: (1) heterogeneous nucleation in which nucleation is affected by MoC that is formed by the reaction between the carbonate and Mo and (2) achievement of enough concentration of carbon for formation of nuclei by the reaction between the carbonate and Mo.
