The optical constants of GaN film investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry

采用椭圆偏振光谱法,在1.5~6.5 eV光谱范围研究了纤锌矿结构GaN外延薄膜.通过物理模型建立和光谱拟合得到了GaN外延薄膜的厚度和光学常数.所得厚度值与扫描电子显微镜测量的结果相差仅为0.4%.表明所采用的模型和Cauchy吸收色散表式适用于GaN薄膜.进一步采用四相逐点拟合算法得到更全面更准确的GaN薄膜光学常数.A wurtzite GaN thin film was investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry(SE) in the spectrum range of 1.5~6.5eV.The thickness and optical constants were obtained by building physical structure model and spectral fitting.The difference of the thickness obtained by SE and by scanning electron microscope(SEM) is only 0.4%,which shows that the model and Cauchy absorbent formula are suitable to study the properties of GaN.Furthermore,the four-phase point-by-point fitting model was used to obtain the optical constants in more accuracy.“863”计划资助项目(2006AA03A110);; 基础科研资助项目(A1420060155);; 国家自然科学基金资助项目(60336020);; 厦门市科技计划资助项目(3502Z20063001

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
