Characterization and frequency measurement of a new far infrared laser line from CHin2Fin2

We present the discovery and frequency measurement of a new FIR laser line from CH₂F₂ optically pumped by a waveguide CO₂ laser. This new line has the same CO₂ laser pump line (9R32), offset (+5 MHz) and relative polarization of the strongest FIR laser line of CH₂F₂, namely the 184.3μm. The frequency is only 19,454 MHz apart from that of this line. We got a frequency measurement of 1,646,196.6 (10) MHz, which corresponds to a wavelength of 182.112 μm.

Assignments and predictions of far-infrared laser lines in methyl alcohol

In this work, the results of detailed spectroscopic analyses of the high-resolution Fourier transform infrared (IR) C-O stretch and far-infrared (FIR) torsion-rotation bands of methyl alcohol are applied to assign and predict FIR laser lines optically pumped by a CO₂ laser in the dense Q-branch region of the C-O stretch band. The assignments are supported by means of closed combination loops of accurately measured transition frequencies. For the predicted FIR lines, the frequencies are deduced with an accuracy of ±0.001 cm⁻¹, which is at least an order of magnitude better than can be obtained from direct wavelength measurements. The IR and FIR spectroscopic data relevant to the assignments are included.     

IR-FIR Transferred lamb-dip spectroscopy in optically pumped molecular lasers

Pump saturation effects are reported for CH₃ and CH₃F optically pumped molecular lasers. The Lamb-dip of the pumping transition is observed directly in the optoacoustic absorption signal and as a transferred Lamb-dip in the emission of various FIR laser lines (CH₃F 496 μm, CH₃OH 119, 70.5 and 96.5 μm) . The offset of the absorbing transitions and their Stark effect are directly investigated. Results are also reported for the unassigned CH₃OH 164 μm line.

稀土倍半氧化物单晶光纤材料凭借超高的熔点(~2400℃)、稳定的物化性能以及灵活的结构被认为是极具潜力的高温传感介质。本文采用激光加热基座(LHPG)法,成功生长了透明无开裂Dy^(3+)离子掺杂的倍半氧化物单晶光纤Lu_(2)O_(3)和Y_(2)O_(3)。依据Dy^(3+)离子的^(4)I_(15/2)和^(4)F_(9/2)能级为一对热耦合能级对(TCLs),测试得到了430~520 nm波长范围内的下转换荧光光谱。荧光强度比(FIR)结果显示,晶体在298~673 K温度范围内的荧光强度具有良好的温度相关性。其中Dy∶Lu_(2)O_(3)在该范围内的最大相对灵敏度和绝对灵敏度分别为0.97%·K^(-1)(315 K)和1.62×10^(-4) K^(-1)(673 K),展现出更为优异的温度传感性能。     

A piecewise linear model for the zones of instability of an area-preserving map

In this note we study the global behavior of the piecewise linear area-preserving transformation x₁ = 1 − y₀ + |x₀|, y₁ = x₀, of the plane. We show that there are infinitely many invariant polygons surrounding an elliptic fixed point. The regions between these invariant polygons serve as models for the “zones of instability” in the corresponding smooth case. For our model we show that some of these annular zones contain only finitely many elliptic islands. The map is hyperbolic on the complement of these islands and hence exhibits stochastic behavior in this region. Unstable periodic points are dense in this region.     

Fitting of transport measurements in polycrystalline La2/3Ca1/3MnO3

Using a previous qualitative explanation to describe the transport properties of polycrystalline La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃ thick films, we achieved a good fit of the temperature dependence of the resistance R(T). Depending on the sample, we have observed different metal–insulator (MI) transitions while the magnetic behavior is always similar. Small regions of depleted T_c adjacent to the grain boundary could have an important resistance contribution without affecting the magnetic properties in an appreciable manner. In this work, we achieve a quantitative explanation for the different transport behaviors that we have observed experimentally.     

Lu_(2)O_(3)∶Er^(3+)/Yb^(3+)荧光材料的上转换发光及其温度传感特性EI北大核心CSCD

采用CO_(2)激光区熔法制备了Lu_(2)O_(3)∶0.5%Er^(3+)/x%Yb^(3+)(x=1,3,5)上转换荧光材料。X射线衍射结果表明,所制备的Lu_(2)O_(3)∶Er^(3+)/Yb^(3+)荧光材料具有纯Lu_(2)O_(3)晶相。在980 nm激光激发下,样品发出明亮的上转换荧光。光谱测试结果表明,样品上转换荧光强度和荧光中绿光与红光比例随Yb^(3+)离子浓度改变,当Er^(3+)和Yb^(3+)离子浓度分别为0.5%和3%时,样品上转换荧光强度最强。通过荧光强度比(FIR)技术研究了样品Lu_(2)O_(3)∶0.5%Er^(3+)/3%Yb^(3+)在298~873 K温度范围内上转换荧光温度传感特性,在532.8 K时最大绝对灵敏度为0.0060 K^(-1),在298 K时最大相对灵敏度为0.0090 K^(-1)。结果表明,Lu_(2)O_(3)∶Er^(3+)/Yb^(3+)荧光材料非常适合用于宽温度范围荧光温度传感。     

Integrated band intensities in N2O4 in the infrared range

We have measured the integrated band intensities of the ν₉ and ν₁₁ bands of N₂O₄ which are observed around 1757 and 1261 cm^-1, respectively. By varying temperature and pressure, we have obtained: S_band(ν₉) = 9.60(130), 9.10(24), 8.80(66) and S_band(ν₁₁)= 5.93(64), 5.70(21) and 5.33(46) (in 10^-17 cm/molecule) at 293.15 (60), 277.25 (60) and 261.65 (60) K, respectively.     

Low-temperature ESR study of PbO defects residing in the (111) Si/native oxide interface

A K-band electron spin resonance (ESR) study of the (111) Si/native SiO₂ structure has been carried out in the temperature range 2.4 T 30 K. The ESR signal of the interfacial [111] P_bO center was observed, exhibiting in general similar properties to the well-documented [111] P_bO signal observed on firmly thermally-oxidized (TO) Si. However, many details in the P_bO spectrum differ like, e.g., the strain-induced inhomogeneous (g-spread) part (B^G_pp) of the linewidth. For B|[111] (B being the externally applied magnetic field), the ²⁹Si hyperfine structure of the [111] P_bO center has been observed which is characterized by the hyperfine splitting a^hf = 159±2 G and the hf signal width B^hf_pp = 14.8±0.5 G. Both the observed B^G_pp and B^hf_pp reveal the existence of a significantly larger strain-induced g distribution in Si/native SiO₂. Apart from the [111] P_bO center, also the signals of the P_bO defects with their dangling orbital parallel to [11 ], [1 1] or [ 11] have been observed; as yet, these signals have not been observed on TO structures. The saturation behaviour has been examined showing the P_bO Si/native oxide interface center to be much less saturable than the P_bO in TO structures. The observations are related to the particular physico-chemical interface structure.     

The interaction of C2Cl4 with fe(110)

Quantitative adsorption studies, temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and Auger spectroscopy have been used to study the interaction of C₂Cl₄ with Fe(110) at 90 and 325 K. At 90 K, multilayer C₂Cl₄ adsorption occurs. The following desorption products are observed in the temperature range of 90–1050 K: C₂Cl₄ from the multilayer and the monolayer, FeCl₂, and a high mass iron chloride species with mass spectrometer cracking products FeCl⁺₂, FeCl⁺, and Fe⁺. Irreversible dissociative C₂Cl₄ adsorption occurs at 325 K and the only desorption product which is observed is the high mass iron chloride species. Auger spectroscopy shows that surface carbon from C₂Cl₄ starts to diffuse into the bulk of the crystal at ˜ 480 K while small coverages of chlorine remain on the surface of the crystal even after heating to 1050 K. Comparison of the behavior of C₂Cl₄ and CCl₄ on Fe(110) indicates that radical products (·CCl₃ and :CCl₂) observed to be produced from CCl₄ adsorption are not produced from C₂Cl₄ adsorption. This difference is probably due to the enhanced surface reactivity of the C=C bond in C₂Cl₄. A special reactivity of iron defect sites for C₂Cl₄ is observed through the production of associated FeCl₂ species which desorb via zero-order kinetics with an activation energy of 44.8 ± 8.5 kcal/mol, the sublimation enthalpy of FeCl₂.

Internal symmetry groups of quantum geons

In canonical quantum gravity asymptotically trivial diffeomorphisms not deformable to the identity can act nontrivially on the quantum state space. We show that for many 3-manifolds, the inequivalent diffeomorphisms comprise coverings in SU(2) of crystallographic groups. When the diffeomorphism R_2π associated with 2π-rotation is nontrivial, state vectors can have half-integral angular momentum; we list all 3-manifolds with R_2π trivial.     

Upper bound to the charge-transfer energy on a 2D Wigner lattice in high-Tc cuprates

Assuming that the energy of a 2D Wigner lattice, which has been frequently observed on the CuO₂ plane in layered high-T_c cuprates, is composed of Coulomb energy, kinetic energy, and charge-transfer energy which is necessary to transfer electrons or holes onto the CuO₂ plane (the magnitude of the energy is expected to be of the order of the work function of the compound constituting the plane from which the electrons are transferred, if the CuO₂ plane easily accepts the electrons or holes, as if the CuO₂ plane were crystal surface), we find in the mean-field approximation, that the total energy for a unit lattice, E₀, can be given by a function of the charge-transfer energy E_φ as E₀= (E_φ−E_φ⁰+O((E_φ−E_φ⁰)₂)(>0), where the value of E_φ⁰(1.5 in the ground state, for example) is independent of the lattice configuration. This relation implies that the upper bound to the charge-transfer energy is given by E_φ⁰. The smallness of E_φ⁰, compared with the work function of ordinary metals and alloys (with the work function around 4 eV), is necessary for the realization of the 2D Wigner lattice in many layered high-T_c cuprates.     

Photo-operated two-photon absorption effects in the GeSe2–Ga2S3–PbI2 glasses

The possibility to operate the two-photon absorption (TPA) of newly synthesized GeSe₂–Ga₂S₃–PbI₂ glasses using the CO laser beam (λ=5.5 μm) as a photoinducing one has been demonstrated. As the fundamental laser beam we have used the illumination of 10.6 μm passively modulated 0.5 ns CO₂ laser with a rate repetition of about 10 Hz. We have established that the maximal photoinduced TPA is observed for the 8% doped samples (up to 14 cm/GW), which is achieved at a pump CO laser pump power density equal to about 0.6 GW/cm². The undoped PbI₂ samples show the TPA maximum at a pump power density of about 0.2 cm/GW. The minimal TPA values were observed for the samples with 5% of PbI₂. The obtained results show that these materials can be used as effective optically operated optical limiters.     

Direct observation of flux-creep in high-Tc superconductors using the high-resolution Faraday effect

Using the capability of the high-resolution Faraday effect (HRF) to allow dynamic observations of the Shubnikov phase, we directly observed effects of flux-creep in high -T_c superconductors. In this paper we show measurements on (RE) Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ with RE=Y, Dy, Gd and on Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8−δ single crystals and also on YBaCuO thin films and sintered materials. Furthermore, this technique enables us also to measure the flux creep locally. From the obtained photographs we determine the time dependence of the total flux in the samples. Using these data and the model of Hagen et al. the effective activation energies have been determined for these materials.     

Electrical transport and superconductivity in the Al2O3-Bi2Sr1.8Ca1.2Cu2Oy and MgO-Bi2Sr1.8Ca1.2Cu2Oy composites

We have measured the resistivities of Al₂O₃-Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu₂O_y and MgO-Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu₂O_y composites with the nominal Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu₂O_y volume fraction, ₂₂₁₂, ranging from 0.15 to 1.00. For the Al₂O₃-Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu ₂O_y composites, we find for the samples with ₂₂₁₂≥0.6 that the superconducting transition temperature, T_c, is not disturbed by the addition of Al₂O₃. For ₂₂₁₂<0.3, no zero-resistivity state is observed. For the MgO-Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu₂O_y composites, T_c is barely disturbed for the samples with ρ₂₂₁₂≥0.7. No superconducting state is observed for the samples with ρ₂₂₁₂<0.35. The variation of (300 K) with ρ₂₂₁₂ indicates a three-dimensional percolating Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O matrix occurring at ρ₂₂₁₂≈0.19 and ≈0.15 in Al₂O₃-Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2 Cu₂O_y and MgO-Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu₂O_y, respectively. Both resistivity and magnetization measurements suggest that the reactions of Bi₂Sr_1.8Ca_1.2Cu₂O_y with MgO are weaker than with Al₂O₃.     

Magnetostriction of Fe–Sn polycrystalline alloys

In the present work we study the magnetostriction of Fe₉₁Sn₉ and Fe₈₀Sn₂₀ polycrystalline samples produced by arc melting and heat treated at temperatures of 1153 K for 6 h and 1023 K for 24 h, looking for high values of magnetostriction as in Fe–Ga alloys. Magnetostriction, as well as saturation magnetization measurements, was carried out at temperatures close to 203 K in the magnetic field interval 0 to 1.5 T. Results of magnetostriction on sample Fe₉₁Sn₉, which has almost pure -phase, show magnitude and behavior similar to pure Fe. The two additional Fe₈₀Sn₂₀ samples have a combination of -phase plus either Fe₅Sn₃ or Fe₃Sn₂ and show a peculiar behavior of the magnetostriction. For μ₀H<0.3 T the magnetostriction grows from zero to saturation of the -phase. Following, for μ₀H>0.3 T, the magnetostriction starts again to grow linearly with the field, but saturation was not observed up to 5 T. This behavior was attributed to the presence of Fe₅Sn₃ or Fe₃Sn₂ phases in these samples that are also ferromagnetic as the -phase is.
