金纳米颗粒调控量子点激子自发辐射速率

将InAs/GaAs量子点样品薄膜置于覆盖有直径为50 nm的金(Au)纳米颗粒的硅衬底上,可以调控量子点激子的自发辐射速率.实验发现,当量子点浸润层距离Au纳米颗粒表面15—35 nm时,激子自发辐射速率受到抑制,且距离为19 nm时抑制作用最大,导致量子点激子的自发辐射速率减小到没有Au纳米颗粒时自发辐射速率的10^-3.基于经典的偶极辐射模型模拟计算的激子自发辐射速率与实验结果一致.

Ag-Au合金/SiO2复合薄膜的制备与表征

以AgNO3,HAuCl4和正硅酸乙酯为主要原料,利用溶胶-凝胶法和旋涂技术,通过热处理和紫外光辐射还原得到了不同nAg/nAu(1∶0,2∶1,1∶2,0∶1)的Ag-Au合金/SiO2复合薄膜.从扫描电子显微镜和X射线衍射谱的结果可以看出得到的薄膜均匀性好,复合薄膜中合金颗粒的尺寸为10 nm左右.利用紫外-可见分光光谱仪研究了复合薄膜的光吸收性能,结果表明,随着nAg/nAu的降低,吸收峰的位置也由最初的Ag纳米粒子的等离子共振吸收峰430 nm附近,逐渐红移到Au纳米粒子的等离子共振吸收峰605和880 nm附近.从光吸收谱可以看出,nAg∶nAu＝2∶1和1∶2的两个样品分别在515,730 nm附近和550,730 nm附近出现表面等离子共振吸收峰.这表明Au-Ag合金固溶体的形成.     

金属基底上光学偶极纳米天线的自发辐射宽带增强:表面等离激元直观模型

本文提出一种具有宽波段自发辐射增强性能的金属基底上光学偶极纳米天线,实现的总辐射速率与远场辐射速率增强因子分别达到5454和1041,在近红外波段,自发辐射增强(Purcell因子超过1000)波长范围达到260 nm,并且能够实现远场定向辐射.为了阐明天线性能背后的物理机制,本文考虑天线臂上表面等离激元激发和多重散射的直观物理过程,基于Maxwell方程组第一性原理,建立了一个半解析模型,能够全面复现天线的辐射特性,包括总辐射速率、远场辐射速率、远场辐射方向图等.该模型提供了一个直观的物理图像,即在模型导出的两个相位匹配条件下,表面等离激元在天线臂上形成了一对Fabry-Perot共振获得增强,然后传播到纳米间隙内点辐射源位置和散射到自由空间,由此分别提高了总辐射速率和远场辐射速率.并且,这一对Fabry-Perot共振产生了一对相互靠近的谐振峰,由此形成了宽波段自发辐射增强.本文提出的偶极纳米天线可以应用于荧光增强、拉曼散射增强及高速、高亮度纳米光源等领域,所提出的模型可用于光学天线的物理理解和直观设计.     

金纳米颗粒的紫外、蓝紫光波段光致荧光特性

采用电化学方法制备出粒径在20～30 nm的悬浮胶体金纳米颗粒。研究了金纳米颗粒的荧光发射光谱特性。在377和459 nm观察到两个荧光发射峰,分别位于紫外和蓝紫光波段,对应的敏感激发波长为220 nm。减小激发光强度或降低金纳米颗粒的粒子数密度都会使377 nm处的荧光发射峰强度减弱。位于459 nm处的荧光发射峰对激发光强度和颗粒数密度变化更为敏感,并且在激发光强度降低到一定阈值或粒子数密度高于一定阈值后消失。随着激发光强度的增加,位于377和459 nm处的两发射峰强度逐渐靠近,其比值逼近于1。实验结果与随机分布介质的自组织散射式谐振腔理论符合得较好。这表明胶体金纳米颗粒中存在循环多重散射,并由此引发了蓝光及紫外波段的荧光增强,这在光存储和全色显示等方面具有潜在的应用前景。

On the predictability of the positions of the convergence zones in the ocean

The disagreement between the experimental and calculated positions of the first convergence zone are known from many publications. The most probable cause for such a disagreement, namely, the incorrect specification of the input data for the calculations, is considered. The lack of simultaneity between the hydrological surveys of the region and the acoustic experiments is emphasized. The experimental data obtained by the author in five ocean regions are presented. These data characterize the diurnal variability of the distance from the source to the nearest boundary of the convergence zone. The relations proposed by different researchers for calculating the sound speed from the temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure are analyzed. It is shown that these relations lead to a substantial difference in the estimated depth dependence of the hydrostatic gradient of the sound speed. The position of the first convergence zone is calculated for the propagation conditions determined by vertical temperature and salinity profiles with the subsequent recalculation of these profiles into sound speed profiles by using eight different formulas known from the literature. It is shown that different formulas lead to different values of the distance to the first zone; this difference is substantially greater than that between the calculations and experiment. The necessity of improving the recalculation relations in view of the experimental data on sound propagation in natural oceanic waveguides, including the data on the actual positions of the convergence zones, is emphasized.     

On the calculation of the bremsstrahlung in the region of the plasma frequency

On the basis of the classical theory of radiation produced in incomplete Coulomb interaction, a formula is derived for the coefficient of the bremsstrahlung of fully ionized plasma. In the region of rectilinear approximation a comparison is made with the results of the quantum formula derived from the Born approximation. Furthermore, the influence of dispersion upon the emission coefficient is taken into account; some relations for the region of dispersion are given.

Extracting the wavefunction of the LSP at the LHC

We consider associated production of squarks and gluinos with the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), or states nearly degenerate in mass with it. Though sub-dominant to pair production of color SU(3)-charged superpartners, these processes are directly sensitive to the wavefunction composition of the lightest neutralinos. Exploiting event-shape variables - including some introduced here for the first time - we are able to identify the composition of the LSP by selecting events involving a single high-pT jet recoiling against missing transverse energy. We illustrate the proposed technique on a set of benchmark cases and propose methods for applying these results in more realistic experimental environments.     

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun

In this paper we describe experiments conducted with high-power lasers that are attempting to replicate, for a very short time and in miniature, conditions found in the Sun. Experiments to date have reached conditions in the outer part of the Sun. To reach the Sun's centre requires compression of material to very much greater than solid density and heating to over ten million degrees. To achieve this, a new class of experiments and a new generation of high-power lasers are required.
