U.S.-Japan Long-Term Research Visit: Experimental Study ofthe Optical Properties of Liquid MgBi MgSb

该奖项将支持加尔文学院物理系John B. Van Zytveld教授在京都大学物理系H. Endo教授的实验室进行为期六个月的研究访问。他们将测量液态合金MgBi和MgSb在合金变得少金属和半金属或半半导体的浓度下的光学性质。他们将通过在0.5 eV到5.2 eV的光子能量范围内的正入射光反射率测量来获得这些信息。这项研究将为这些合金的电子结构提供有价值的信息。

This award will support a six-month research visit by Professor John B. Van Zytveld of the Department of Physics, Calvin College in the laboratory of Professor H. Endo, Department of Physics, Kyoto University. They will measure the optical properties of the liquid alloys MgBi and MgSb in the concentration regimes in which the alloys become less metallic and more semimetallic or semicondu- cting. They will obtain this information by means of optical reflectivity measurements at normal incidence in the photon energy range from 0.5 eV to 5.2 eV. This study should provide valuable information about the electronic structure of these alloys.
