Organic Molecular Beam Deposition in Ultra-high VacuumAdvisorCo-AdvisorStudents: LIN Nian / PHYS: TANG Benzhong / CHEM: HAO Xiaotian / PHYS-PP(<strong>UROP</strong><strong>11</strong>00, Summer 20<strong>11</strong>)MITSUI Atsushi / PHYS-PM(<strong>UROP</strong>1000, Summer 20<strong>11</strong>)Organic Molecular Beam Deposition is a widely used technique in preparing organic thinfilms. This project aims at investigating the thermal properties of various organic moleculesby means of organic molecular beam deposition. A crucible is used to contain differentmolecules and then put in the Organic Molecular Beam Epitaxy (OMBE). A target is alsoplaced in front of the crucible so that molecules should be found after evaporation inUltra-high Vacuum. Through UV-Spectrum analysis, the evaporation temperature of variousmolecules has been obtained.Quantum State Calculation of Two-dimensional SupramolecularNanostructuresAdvisorStudents: LIN Nian / PHYS: KWOK King Wai / PHYS & MATH(<strong>UROP</strong><strong>11</strong>00, Fall <strong>2010</strong>)ZHOU Tong / PHYS(<strong>UROP</strong><strong>11</strong>00, Fall <strong>2010</strong>)Surface electron dispersion is modified when a periodic potential is imposed at the surface,showing an energy gap at the zone boundaries. Scanning tunneling microscopy can detect thisphenomenon by measuring local density of states, while a MATLAB program can simulatethis physical phenomenon by numerically solving the Schrödinger equation in a periodicpotential well, and optimizing the model of the real case. The proposed model fitted well inthe experimental data in some cases, but discrepancy between experimental data and predictedvalues of the model occurred in other cases. In this project, the model is tested in a simplerone-dimensional case.18
