气体密度对瑞利散射法测量团簇尺寸影响的初步分析

 瑞利散射法被广泛地应用于测量团簇尺寸,通常视散射信号的强弱只正比于团簇的大小。从理论推导得到瑞利散射信号并不仅仅是团簇尺寸的函数,而与团簇尺寸、气体密度和结合率均有关系,认为采用瑞利散射法测量团簇尺寸应考虑气体密度对测量结果的影响。并用该分析方法研究了氩团簇沿喷嘴轴线的尺寸分布情况：团簇尺寸沿喷嘴轴线并不是单纯的单调变化,而是在某个位置达到最大值,并且这个位置与背景压强等因素有关。

Size estimates of nobel gas clusters by Rayleigh scattering experiments

Noble gases (argon, krypton, and xenon) are puffed into vacuum through a nozzle to produce clusters for studying laser-cluster interactions. Good estimates of the average size of the argon, krypton and xenon clusters are made by carrying out a series of Rayleigh scattering experiments. In the experiments, we have found that the scattered signal intensity varied greatly with the opening area of the pulsed valve. A new method is put forward to choose the appropriate scattered signal and measure the size of Kr cluster.     

The spatial distribution of argon clusters in gas jet

The spatial distribution of argon clusters in gas jet is tested using the Rayleigh scattering method. A pulsed laser is used to acquire the whole evolution of the cluster inside one event. The measured results at a fixed axial position show that the argon clusters grow in less than one millisecond after the nozzle is opened and the cluster size keeps constant during the whole open period of 20 ms. Further results show that the scattering signal along the radial direction is almost Gaussian-distributed and the full width half maximum (FWHM) increases almost linearly when the distance from nozzle increases. The scattering signal along the axial direction is Landau-distributed and the area near the nozzle is most effective for laser cluster interaction.     

The structure of mixed nitrogen-argon clusters

Using realistic pair potentials, we investigate the structures of mixed clusters of argon and nitrogen in order to interpret the experimental electron diffraction patterns reported by the Torchet group. Simulations of small clusters indicate that argon tends to segregate at the center of the clusters. For larger clusters, in the range of 50 to 200 molecules, MC methods have been used to simulate structures that are likely to be generated in the molecular beam. By comparing predicted electron diffraction patterns with those recorded in the experiments, our models allow us to estimate the average size and composition of the mixed clusters for a given set of experimental conditions (nozzle stagnation pressure and Ar partial pressure).     

Rayleigh Scattering Experiment for the Measurement of Hydrogen Cluster Size

The hydrogen clusters are produced at liquid nitrogen temperature in a supersonic adiabatic expansion of moderate backing pressure gases into vacuum through a Laval nozzle and their averaged size are measured by Rayleigh scattering. The average cluster size N^-c is about 250 hydrogen atoms at a backing pressure 1.0 MPa in these measurements.     

Effect of deposition parameters on morphology and size of FeCo nanoparticles synthesized by pulsed laser ablation deposition

The experimental parameters that control the surface morphology and size of iron cobalt nanoparticles synthesized at room temperature by pulsed laser ablation deposition (PLAD) technique have been systematically investigated. The nanoparticle synthesis has been achieved at higher operating gas pressures of argon. It was found that nanoparticles upon deposition formed small clusters, the size of which increases with decreasing pressure, increasing laser-energy density, and decreasing target-to-substrate distance. This trend could be attributed to change in the kinetic energy of deposited nanoparticles with varying argon pressure, laser-energy, and target-to-substrate distance. The nanoparticles size and size distribution showed strong dependence on argon pressure and weak dependence on laser-energy density and target-to-substrate distance.

High-Intensity Femtosecond Laser Interaction with Rare Gas Clusters

With a 45 fs multiterawatt 790 nm laser system and jets of argon and krypton atomic clusters, a study of the interaction of fs intense laser pulses with large size rare gas dusters was conducted. The maximum laser intensity of about 7 × 1016 W/cm2 and dusters composed of thousands of atoms which were determined through Rayleigh scattering measurements were involved inthe experiments. On the one hand, the results indicate that the interaction is strongly cluster size dependent. The stronger the interaction, the larger the clusters are. On the other hand, a saturation followed by a drop of the energy of ions ejected from the interaction will occur when the laser intensity exceeds a definite value for clusters of a certain size.     

Monte Carlo simulations of thermodynamic properties of argon,krypton and xenon in liquid and gas state using new ab initio pair potentials

The internal energies and compressibility factors of argon, krypton and xenon have been simulated using recent state-of-the-art ab initio pair intermolecular potentials and the best semi-empirical pair potentials, and the Axilrod-Teller-Muto three-body term. The results are compared with experimental data for both sub-critical and super-critical temperatures and for densities ranging up to a 2.5 multiple of the critical density. Both the ab initio and semi-empirical results for argon are in very good agreement with the experimental ones. For krypton and xenon, the ab initio results are worse than the semi-empirical results but they are still acceptable.
