摘要:
An exemplary spin-polarized electron source includes a cathode, and a one-dimensional nanostructure made of a compound (e.g., group III-V) semiconductor with local polarized gap states. The one-dimensional nanostructure includes a first end portion electrically connected with the cathode and a second end portion located/directed away from the cathode. The second end portion of the one-dimensional nanostructure functions as a polarized electron emission tip and is configured (i.e., structured and arranged) for emitting a spin-polarized electron current/beam under an effect of selectably one of a magnetic field induction and a circularly polarized light beam excitation when a predetermined negative bias voltage is applied to the cathode. Furthermore, a spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscope incorporating such a spin-polarized electron source is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor nanostructure. The semiconductor nanostructure includes a substrate and at least one ridge. The substrate includes a first crystal plane and a second crystal plane perpendicular to the first crystal plane. The at least one ridge extends from the first crystal plane along a crystallographic orientation of the second crystal plane. A width of cross section at a position of half the height of the at least one ridge is less than 17 nm. The semiconductor nanostructure is a patterned structure which can lead to generate a quantum confinement effect, such that the impurity scattering phenomenon is reduced.

A graphene-based composite structure is disclosed. The graphene-based composite structure includes a graphene layer, a transition metal layer, and a substrate. The graphene layer, transition metal layer, and substrate are stacked together in series to form a sandwich structure. The graphene layer and the transition metal layer are coupled by d-p orbitals hybridization. The transition metal layer and the substrate are also coupled by d-p orbitals hybridization. A method for making graphene-based composite structure is also disclosed.

A ferroelectric film includes a plurality of ferroelectric nanodomains configured in a regularly staggered fashion. The ferroelectric film has a quasi 2-dimensional configuration and is comprised of a ferroelectric material. A method for forming a ferroelectric film is also provided. A ferroelectric film comprised of a ferroelectric material is prepared. The ferroelectric film has a quasi 2-dimensional configuration and defines a direction that is normal to the quasi 2-dimensional configuration. An electric field along the normal direction is applied to the ferroelectric film, thereby the ferroelectric film having an array of ferroelectric nanodomains configured in a regularly staggered fashion is obtained.
