  1. We report observations of crystal defect induced modifications in the laser-excited Er3+ photoluminescence spectra of single-crystal Er2O3 thin films. These include marked enhancement of transition intensities known to be weak or nonexistent in as-grown samples. In this Letter, we examine the temperature and defect density dependence of the measurements and suggest photophysical processes that may account for these unexpected results.

  2. N incorporation mechanisms in GaAs1−xNx alloys are probed using combined experimental and computational Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and nuclear reaction analysis angular yield scans. For xN < 0.025, in addition to substitutional nitrogen, NAs, (N-N)As, and (N-As)As split-interstitials are observed. However, for xN ≥ 0.025, evidence for N tetrahedral interstitials, Ntetra, emerges. We propose a mechanism for stabilization of Ntetra in which the elastic interaction between Ntetra and NAs is induced by the opposite signs of their misfit volumes. This work opens opportunities for exploring the formation of Ntetra and its influence on the properties of a variety of highly mismatched alloys.

  3. Abstract The superτ-charm facility (STCF) is an electron–positron collider proposed by the Chinese particle physics community. It is designed to operate in a center-of-mass energy range from 2 to 7 GeV with a peak luminosity of 0.5 × 1035cm−2·s−1or higher. The STCF will produce a data sample about a factor of 100 larger than that of the presentτ-charm factory — the BEPCII, providing a unique platform for exploring the asymmetry of matter-antimatter (charge-parity violation), in-depth studies of the internal structure of hadrons and the nature of non-perturbative strong interactions, as well as searching for exotic hadrons and physics beyond the Standard Model. The STCF project in China is under development with an extensive R&D program. This document presents the physics opportunities at the STCF, describes conceptual designs of the STCF detector system, and discusses future plans for detector R&D and physics case studies.
