Electron-doped phosphorene: A potential monolayer superconductor
We predict by first-principles calculations that the electron-doped
phosphorene is a potential BCS-like superconductor. The stretching modes at the
Brillouin-zone center are remarkably softened by the electron-doping, which
results in the strong electron-phonon coupling. The superconductivity can be
introduced by a doped electron density () above
cm, and may exist over the liquid helium temperature when cm. The maximum critical temperature is predicted to be
higher than 10 K. The superconductivity of phosphorene will significantly
broaden the applications of this novel material
Nuclear modification factor in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions
The transverse momentum dependent nuclear modification factors (NMF), namely
, is investigated for protons produced in Au + Au at 1 GeV within
the framework of the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model.
It is found that the radial collective motion during the expansion stage
affects the NMF at low transverse momentum a lot. By fitting the transverse
mass spectra of protons with the distribution function from the Blast-Wave
model, the magnitude of radial flow can be extracted. After removing the
contribution from radial flow, the can be regarded as a thermal one
and is found to keep unitary at transverse momentum lower than 0.6 GeV/c and
enhance at higher transverse momentum, which can be attributed to Cronin
effect.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures; aceepted by Physics Letters
