A unified approach to exact solutions of time-dependent Lie-algebraic quantum systems
By using the Lewis-Riesenfeld theory and the invariant-related unitary
transformation formulation, the exact solutions of the {\it time-dependent}
Schr\"{o}dinger equations which govern the various Lie-algebraic quantum
systems in atomic physics, quantum optics, nuclear physics and laser physics
are obtained. It is shown that the {\it explicit} solutions may also be
obtained by working in a sub-Hilbert-space corresponding to a particular
eigenvalue of the conserved generator ({\it i. e.}, the {\it time-independent}
invariant) for some quantum systems without quasi-algebraic structures. The
global and topological properties of geometric phases and their adiabatic limit
in time-dependent quantum systems/models are briefly discussed.Comment: 11 pages, Latex. accepted by Euro. Phys. J.
Photoconductivity of Single-crystalline Selenium Nanotubes
Photoconductivity of single-crystalline selenium nanotubes (SCSNT) under a
range of illumination intensities of a 633nm laser is carried out with a novel
two terminal device arrangement at room temperature. It's found that SCSNT
forms Schottky barriers with the W and Au contacts, and the barrier height is a
function of the light intensities. In low illumination regime below 1.46x10E-4
muWmum-2, the Au-Se-W hybrid structure exhibits sharp switch on/off behavior,
and the turn-on voltages decrease with increasing illuminating intensities. In
the high illumination regime above 7x10E-4 muWmum-2, the device exhibits ohmic
conductance with a photoconductivity as high as 0.59Ohmcm-1, significantly
higher that reported values for carbon and GaN nanotubes. This finding suggests
that SCSNT is potentially a good photo-sensor material as well we a very
effective solar cell material.Comment: 12pages including 5 figures, submitted to Nanotechnolog
