We describe a simple and relatively inexpensive method of investigating the processes by which incident IR radiation is converted to visible emission in anti-Stokes phosphors by multiphoton excitation. The procedure involves sinusoidal modulation of the intensity of the IR exciting radiation and analysis of the harmonic content of the visible output from the phosphor. A two-photon process, for example, results in some second harmonic modulation of the visible emission. The harmonic content depends on the relaxation times involved and on the nature of the conversion process. The experiments thus enable one to establish the order of the conversion process, to distinguish between possible mechanisms and to determine certain relaxation times. Representative results for the ytterbium-sensitized anti-Stokes phosphors Y 2O 2S-Ho-Yb and Y 2O 2S-Er-Yb are described. 相似文献

By the spectral and kinetic characteristics of the luminescence of vapors of polyatomic molecules (anthracene, anthraquinone, fluorenone) initiated by selective IR multiphoton excitation (IR MPE) of molecules in the ground electronic state S
0 the relaxation processes proceeding under vibrational excitation of molecules to energies exceeding the energies of the lower excited electronic states have been investigated. The changes in the spectral and kinetic characteristics with increasing CO 2 laser energy density and vapor P
v and foreign gas pressure P
FG are analyzed. They are similar to the characteristics obtained for normal fluorescence of these molecules with changing vibrational energy E
vib content. On the basis of experimental data and model calculations it has been concluded that at the laser radiation densities used in the case of IR MPE the molecules reach energies considerably exceeding the energies of the electronic levels. It is shown that a nonadiabatic connection between the electronic states leads to the population of mixed electronic states isoenergetic to the vibrational levels of the ground electronic state and to emission of delayed luminescence spectrally identical to the normal luminescence of these molecules. It has been found that when high vibrational levels are populated, new relaxation channels, such as reverse electron relaxation, emission from high vibrational levels of the ground electronic state, and multiquantum vibrational energy transfer at collisions leading to a rapid establishment of vibrational equilibrium become important. 相似文献

To investigate the upconversion emission,this paper synthesizes Tm3+ and Yb3+ codoped Y2O3 nanoparticles,and then coats them with TiO2 shells for different coating times.The spectral results of TiO2 coated nanoparticles indicate that upconversion emission intensities have respectively been enhanced 3.2,5.4,and 2.2 times for coating times of 30,60 and 90 min at an excitation power density of 3.21×102 W.cm 2,in comparison with the emission intensity of non-coated nanoparticles.Therefore it can be concluded that the intense upconversion emission of Y2O3:Tm3+,Yb3+ nanoparticles can be achieved by coating the particle surfaces with a shell of specific thickness. 相似文献

We develop a renormalization group approach for cyclizing polymers for the case when chain ends are initially close together
(ring initial conditions). We analyze the behavior at times much shorter than the longest polymer relaxation time. In agreement
with our previous work ( Europhys. Lett.
73, 621 (2006)) we find that the leading time dependence of the reaction rate k( t) for ring initial conditions and equilibrium initial conditions are related, namely k
ring( t) ∝ t
-δ and k
eq( t) ∝ t
1-δ for times less than the longest polymer relaxation time. Here δ is an effective exponent which approaches δ = 5/4 for very
long Rouse chains. Our present analysis also suggests a “sub-leading” term proportional to (ln t)/ t which should be particularly significant for smaller values of the renormalized reaction rate and early times. For Zimm dynamics,
our RG analysis indicates that the leading time dependence for the reaction rate is k( t) ∼ 1/ t for very long chains. The leading term is again consistent with the expected relation between ring and equilibrium initial
conditions. We also find a logarithmic correction term which we “exponentiate” to a logarithmic form with a Landau pole. The
presence of the logarithm is particularly important for smaller chains and, in the Zimm case, large values of the reaction
rate. 相似文献

Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy measurements have been performed during isothermal curing of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) and the related pure networks at frequencies between 3 kHz and 3 MHz and curing temperatures between 313 and 393 K. The pure networks consist of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) cross-linked with diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) and the semi-IPNs contain in addition 10 or 20 wt% of polysulfone PSn) as the linear component. Temperature dependent dielectric measurements have been performed on the fully cured samples in the temperature range from 130 to 550 K for the same frequencies. For the pure networks, the imaginary part of the complex permittivity ?″ shows a decrease with curing time t cure followed by a peak. For the semi-IPNs this peak is much broader for all cases and can be resolved into two maxima for several curing conditions. The decrease in ?″ is connected to the decrease in the dc-conductivity due to gelation, whereas the peak is related to the relaxation of dipoles. The existence of two maxima in the time dependence of ?″ is an indication for two different relaxations in a phase separated structure. This is supported by temperature dependent measurements on the fully cured samples. The characteristic relaxation times ι, which are extracted from the maxima of ?″( t cure) for different frequencies f using the relation ωτ = 1(ω = 2π f), increase during curing by several orders of magnitude for both the pure networks and the semi-IPNs. In order to extract the characteristic times for gelation t g and the times t 0 where the dc-conductivity σ dc approaches a singularity, σ dc was fitted by a power law, σ dc = σ 0[( t g - t)/ t g] p, and an exponential function, σ dc = A exp [ B/( t - t o)], respectively. In the error limits of the experiments both procedures lead to similar results. The t g and t o values are in good agreement with those measured mechanically and no significant differences between pure networks and semi-IPNs cured at the same temperature were found. 相似文献

In the temperature range 4.2–350 K, the steady-state and time-resolved emission and excitation spectra and luminescence decay kinetics are studied for the undoped Y 2SiO 5 and Lu 2SiO 5 single crystalline films grown by liquid phase epitaxy method from the PbO-based flux and, owing to that, containing lead ions substituting for Y 3+ or Lu 3+ ions. Luminescence characteristics of Pb-related centers of different types are identified. On the basis of the results obtained, we suggest that the ultraviolet emission of Pb-related centers arises from the Pb 2+ ions substituting for Y 3+ or Lu 3+ ions in the Y1 and Lu1 lattice sites of the X 2 structure. Possible hypotheses on the origin of the intense complex lead-related blue emission are discussed. We propose phenomenological models describing the excited-state dynamics of the studied luminescence centers. We also determine characteristic parameters of the corresponding relaxed excited states, in particular, the energy separations between the excited states and the rates of the radiative and non-radiative transitions from these states. 相似文献

The stability of a planar surface upon pulsed UV-laser irradiation is studied with special emphasis on polymer ablation. Here, we consider a two-level system in which the excitation energy is dissipated via stimulated emission, non-radiative transitions, and activated desorption of excited species. With thermal relaxation times t
T10 –10 s the ablation front turns out to become stable. This could explain the smooth surfaces obtained after pulsed UV-laser ablation of pure and stress free organic polymers. The situation is quite different for materials, for example metals, where fast thermal relaxation of the excitation energy within times, typically, t
T<10 –11 s, gives rise to instabilities which result in surface roughening.On leave from the Institute of General Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117942 Moscow, RussiaOn leave from the Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 603600 Nishnii Novgorod, Russia 相似文献

Living polymers are formed by reversible association of primary units (unimers). Generally the chain statistical weight involves
a factor σ < 1 suppressing short chains in comparison with free unimers. Living polymerization is a sharp thermodynamic transition
for σ ≪ 1 which is typically the case. We show that this sharpness has an important effect on the kinetics of living polymerization
(one-dimensional association). The kinetic model involves i) the unimer activation step (a transition to an assembly-competent
state); ii) the scission/recombination processes providing growth of polymer chains and relaxation of their length distribution.

We have conducted a systematic study on the effects of post rubbing annealing on the relaxation of rubbing-induced birefringence of polystyrene. It is found that annealing at T 0 only affects the relaxation up to T0 + TLag, where TLag is proportional to the logarithm of the annealing time tA. A theoretical model based on the distribution of relaxation times due to the individual birefringence elements is proposed. To remove its contribution to the net birefringence each element must overcome an energy barrier E = (317 + 1.17ξ)×10 3 J/mol, and therefore must have a characteristic relaxation time τ which depends on temperature T and a barrier height which ranges from 340.4 kJ/mol to 445.7 kJ/mol. The relaxation of birefringence is expressed by the equation NB( T, t) =
N(ξ) e-t/τ(T,ξ)dξ, in which both the relaxation time τ( T,ξ) and the distribution function N(ξ) can be extracted from experimental data. The predictions of the model agree well with all the experimental results presented in this work. The differences and similarities of the relaxation of birefringence with respect to the physical aging of quenched PS are discussed. In particular, similarities in terms of the general temperature lag phenomena are noted. 相似文献

The spectral and spatiotemporal dynamics of photoluminescence in monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenide WSe2 obtained by mechanical exfoliation on a Si/SiO2 substrate is studied over a wide range of temperatures and excitation powers. It is shown that the dynamics is nonexponential and, for times t exceeding ∼50 ps after the excitation pulse, is described by a dependence of the form 1/(t + t0). Photoluminescence decay is accelerated with a decrease in the temperature and in the energy of emitting states. It is shown that the observed dynamics cannot be described by a bimolecular recombination process, such as exciton—exciton annihilation. A model that describes the nonexponential photoluminescence dynamics by taking into account the spread of radiative recombination times of localized exciton states in a random potential gives good agreement with experimental data. 相似文献

We have studied the rheology and the conformation of stretched comb-like liquid-crystalline polymers. Both the influence of
the comb-like structure and the specific effect of the nematic interaction on the dynamics are investigated. For this purpose,
two isomers of a comb-like polymetacrylate polymer, of well-defined molecular weights, were synthesized: one displays a nematic
phase over a wide range of temperature, the other one has only an isotropic phase. Even with high degrees of polymerization
N, between 40 and 1000, the polymer chains studied were not entangled. The stress-strain curves during the stretching and relaxation
processes show differences between the isotropic and nematic comb-like polymers. They suggest that, in the nematic phase,
the chain dynamics is more cooperative than for a usual linear polymer. Small-angle neutron scattering has been used in order
to determine the evolution of the chain conformation after stretching, as a function of the duration of relaxation t
r. The conformation can be described with two parameters only: , the global deformation of the polymer chain, and p, the number of statistical units of locally relaxed sub-chains. For the comb-like polymer, the chain deformation is pseudo-affine:
is always smaller than (the deformation ratio of the whole sample). In the isotropic phase, has a constant value, while pincreases as tr . This latter behavior is not that expected for non-entangled chains, in which p varies as t
r
1/2 (Rouse model). In the nematic phase, decreases as a stretched exponential function of t
r, while p remains constant. The dynamics of the comb-like polymers is discussed in terms of living clusters from which junctions are
produced by interactions between side chains. The nematic interaction increases the lifetime of these junctions and, strikingly,
the relaxation is the same at all scales of the whole polymer chain.

Yb 3+-doped crystals were grown by the Czochralski method from (Gd 0.5Y 0.5) 2SiO 5 melt employing seeds cut out from single crystals of Yb:Gd 2SiO 5 and Yb:Y 2SiO 5. XRD analysis revealed that the structure of the solid solution crystals grown is consistent with the structure of the seed,
namely C2/c for the Yb:Y 2SiO 5 seed and P2 1/c for the Yb:Gd 2SiO 5 seed. Optical absorption spectra, emission spectra and luminescence decay curves were recorded at 10 K and 300 K. Analysis
of gathered spectroscopic data made it possible to evaluate radiative transition rates for the 2F 5/2 multiplet of Yb 3+ in the two structures and to assess crystal field splitting of multiplets involved in radiative transitions. It has been
concluded that transition intensities and relaxation dynamics of Yb 3+ in the systems studied are similar but the intensity distribution of emission and absorption bands depends significantly
on the system structure. This feature, combined with inhomogeneous broadening of spectral lines, may be advantageous for the
tailoring of lasers employing ytterbium-doped crystals for specific applications. 相似文献

We study the magnetic relaxation of a system of localized spins interacting through weak dipole interactions, at a temperature
large with respect to the ordering temperature but low with respect to the crystal field level splitting. The relaxation results
from quantum spin tunneling but is only allowed on sites where the dipole field is very small. At low times, the magnetization
decrease is proportional to as predicted by Prokofiev and Stamp, and at long times the relaxation can be described as an extension of a relaxed zone.
The results can be directly compared with very recent experimental data on Fe 8 molecular clusters.

AbstractIn the enthalpy relaxation of poly(vinyl chloride), a decrease in enthalpy upon the isothermal ageing was measured using the differential scanning calorimetry method as a function of ageing time ( tA) and ageing temperature. The range of the ageing temperature was from 56?°C ( Tg ? 25?°C) to 72?°C ( Tg ? 9?°C) where Tg denotes the glass transition temperature. The limiting value of the decrease in enthalpy was determined by applying a stretched exponential function to the measured enthalpy data. The relaxation function (?) was derived from the measured enthalpy and the construction of a master curve was tried by shifting the ? ? tA curves of the respective ageing temperatures horizontally. Although there was no agreement between the shift factors ( aT) and the relaxation times of the ? ? tA curves, the superposition was successfully constructed and the aT values obtained for the poly(vinyl chloride) sample were found to be comparable to those reported for viscoelastic experiments over a broad temperature range above and below Tg carried out for different polymers. The origin of the decrease in enthalpy was briefly discussed in terms of the chain dynamics in the isothermal condition. 相似文献

The theory of nuclear spin state relaxation of symmetrical molecules like formaldehyde contains a collision time tc that is interpreted as time between rotationally inelastic molecular collisions. This time traditionally is determined from measurements of pressure broadening of spectral lines. In order to test whether these collision times, which determine spin relaxation rate constants and line broadening coefficients, respectively, are the same or at least related to another, we have performed systematic measurements of the broadening of an IR line of formaldehyde by other gases of different pressures. 相似文献

Coulomb glass at very low temperatures. The long time relaxation follows a stretched exponential function, f ( t) = f

The problem has been solved for the joint optimization of the number N of pulses and the relaxation pause t
p in the combined multiple-pulse spin-locking sequence, which is successfully used for detecting some explosives by nuclear
quadrupole resonance (NQR). Initially, the formula is derived for the signal-to-noise ratio provided by this sequence. Using
the condition that an explosive detection time T
det is constant (it is typical in practice), from this expression the set of two interrelated equations is obtained for optimum
values of N and t
p, which provide the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. These values are determined by both effective transverse T
2e and longitudinal T
1 relaxation times and sequence parameters, and do not depend on the number m of sequence repetitions. The m value is calculated as the quotient of T
det by the duration of the onefold sequence with optimum values of N and t
p. This set of equations is shown to be mutually compatible at all values of sequence parameters and relaxation times T
1 and T
2e, which occur in actual practice. The results of the experiments, which have been carried out on cyclotrimethylene trinitramine
(RDX) at a 14N NQR frequency of 3.41 MHz and temperatures of 26 and −3°C, are in good agreement with the theoretical ones. 相似文献
