利用软X射线共振非弹性散射谱(resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering, RIXS)对3d过渡金属硫化物中的硫化锰(MnS)电子结构进行了研究.通过分析Mn²⁺的2p⁶3d⁵→2p⁵3d⁶→2p⁶3d⁵二次光子过程，得到了共振非弹性散射谱中的两类非弹性峰，d-d电子跃迁和电荷转移(charge-transfer)跃迁.这两部分跃迁分别共振增强于L边附近及伴随峰附近.基于Hartree-Fock方法的多重态计算分别模拟了原子近似下和立方体O_h对称群下共振非弹性散射谱及吸收谱.计算得MnS实际晶体场10Dq值介于0.80eV—0.85eV之间.对MnS和MnO CT跃迁差异的讨论表明MnS较强的CT跃迁来源于其较窄的能隙宽度. 关键词： 软X射线共振非弹性散射 软X射线吸收谱 d-d跃迁 电荷转移

Dielectronic recombination of Co-like tantalum

Ab initio calculation of the total dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficient from the ground state of Co-like tantalum is performed using the relativistic distorted-wave approximation with configuration interaction. The contributions to the total DR rate coefficients are explicitly calculated from the complexes of Ni-like tantalum: 3s²3p⁶3d_3/2³ 3d_5/2⁶ n'l', 3s²3p⁵3d¹⁰n'l', 3s3p⁶3d¹⁰n'l', 3s²3p⁶3d⁸4ln'l', 3s²3p⁵3d⁹4ln'l' and 3s3p⁶3d⁹4ln'l' with n' ≤ 25, and 3s²3p⁶3d⁸5ln'l' with n' ≤ 9. The l' and n' dependences of partial DR rate coefficients are investigated. The contributions from higher n'complexes are evaluated by a level-by-level extrapolation method. The total DR rate coefficients mainly come from the complex series 3s²3p⁶3d⁸4ln'l', 3s²3p⁵3d⁹4ln'l' and are fitted to an empirical formula with high accuracy. Comparison of the present results with those of other works shows that the previously published data underestimate significantly the DR rates of Co-like tantalum.

Laser produced soft x-ray spectra of silver

Characterization of collisionally pumped optical-field-ionization soft X-ray lasers

We give an overview of recent experimental results on optical-field-ionization collisional soft X-ray lasers developed at LOA. By focusing a 30-fs, circularly polarized Ti-sapphire laser pulse at an intensity of up to 8×10¹⁷ Wcm^-2 into a low-density gas cell containing Xe or Kr, we produced a few mm long plasma column for soft X-ray amplifier. Saturated amplification has been achieved on the 4d⁹5d(¹S₀)–4d⁹5p(¹P₁) transition at 41.8 nm in Xe⁸⁺, and on the 3d⁹4d(¹S₀)–3d⁹4p(¹P₁) transition in Kr⁸⁺ at 32.8 nm. Under optimum pumping conditions the Xe⁸⁺ laser provides about (5±2)×10⁹ photons per pulse whilst the Kr⁸⁺ laser delivers up to (2.5±1)×10⁹ photons per shot. The repetition rate of these soft X-ray lasers is 10 Hz. The beam wavefront of the Xe⁸⁺ laser has been measured by a Shack–Hartmann soft X-ray wavefront sensor, and the pulse duration by a cross-correlation technique.

Cu-like Pd and Ag inner-shell photoionization phenomena

We have obtained results for converting focused laser radiation to X-ray line emissions in laser-heated NaF and Cu plasmas. These plasmas were used as the pump source for studying the phenomena of inner-shell photoionization of Zn-like ionic states. Soft X-ray emissions from transitions of 3d ⁹4s ² 3d ¹⁰4p in Cu-like Pd and Ag ions were observed.     

Review of Ni-like ion X-ray laser research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

We have demonstrated saturated output on several nickel-like ion X-ray lasers ranging from niobium to silver by using a psec, high-power, chirped-pulse-amplification, tabletop laser. These results have been achieved at wavelengths from 20.3 to 13.9 nm on the Ni-like 3d⁹4d¹S₀→3d⁹4p¹P₁ laser line using a total of 5 to 7 J of energy in a traveling wave excitation scheme. Strong amplification is also observed for Ni-like Sn at 11.9 nm. Gain of 41 cm⁻¹, gain-length product of 18, and output energy of 12 μJ are measured for the Ni-like Pd line at 14.7 nm. For Ni-like Mo, experiments are done using multilayer mirrors to obtain two-dimensional images of the output aperture of the laser and to measure the total laser energy as a function of various parameters such as the delay between the short and long pulses and the energy of the two pulses. For Mo we measure an output energy of 2 μJ and a gain-length product of 16.6. To model the Mo experiments, the LASNEX code is used to calculate the hydrodynamic evolution of the plasma and provide the temperatures and densities to the XRASER code, which then does the kinetics calculations to determine the gain. The temporal and spatial evolution of the plasma is studied both with and without radiation transport included for the 4f and 4p→3d Ni-like Mo resonance lines. High gains are predicted and observed for both the 3d⁹4d¹S₀→3d⁹4p¹P₁ laser line at 18.9 nm and the 3d⁹4f¹P₁→3d⁹4d¹P₁ photopumped line at 22.6 nm.     

Laser-related spectroscopy of ion-doped crystals for tunable solid-state lasers

In this work an overview of transition metal (TM) ion- and rare earth (RE) ion-doped crystals for application as tunable solid-state lasers will be given. Spectroscopic and laser results will be presented including recent research and advances in this field. Within this work tunability is defined as the possibility to achieve laser oscillation in the vibronic sideband of a transition. Tunable solid-state lasers are of interest for a wide field of applications, e.g. in scientific research, in medicine, for measurement and testing techniques, ultra short pulse generation, and communication. They can also be used as coherent light sources for second-harmonic generation, for optical parametric oscillators, and for sum- and difference-frequency generation. Tunable laser media based on 3d?3d transitions of transition-metal ions and 4f?5d transitions of rare-earth ions cover nowadays almost the whole spectral range between 270 nm and 4500 nm, see Fig. 1 [1-15]. In comparison to laser systems based on the 4f?4f transitions of trivalent rare-earth ions, tunable lasers based on 3d?3d and 4f?5d transitions are in general affected by a higher probability of excited-state absorption (ESA), a higher probability of non-radiative decay, and a higher saturation intensity leading to higher laser thresholds. Often laser oscillation cannot be obtained at all. These general topics will be considered in Sect. 1, where the basic aspects of tunable solid-state lasers are discussed: these are the preparational, the spectroscopic, and the laser aspect. In Sect. 2, the investigation of transition metal ion-doped crystals with respect to the realization of tunable laser oscillation is presented. The work is focused on transition-metal ions of the 3d row (Fe row) and divided into two subsections according to the octahedral and tetrahedral coordinations of the ion investigated. Each subsection is structured according to the electron configurations: 3d¹, 3d³, 3d⁴, and 3d⁸ for the octahedrally coordinated ions and 3d¹, 3d², and 3d⁴ for the tetrahedrally coordinated ions. Section 3 deals with interconfigurational transitions of divalent and trivalent rare-earth ions. Finally, in Sect. 4 the work is summarized.

Laser spectroscopic measurement of isotope shifts of transitions 3d-4p in the ionic spectra of argon,chlorine and sulphur

By means of collinear laser spectroscopy at ion beams of Ar⁺, S⁺ and Cl⁺ the isotope shifts of a total of twelve lines could be measured. All the lines are of the type 3p ^n?1 3d→3p ^n?14p (3p ⁿ being the proper ground configuration of the ions). All the measured shifts are unusually large and prevailingly due to a strong specific mass effect or momentum correlation of the 3d electron with the innerp-shells. The measured shifts could be quantitatively reproduced by computation of the inherent Vinti integrals.     

Amplification in Ni-like Nb at 204.2 Å pumped by a table-top laser

We identified for the first time the 3d ⁹4d ¹ S – 3d ⁹4p ¹ P line in Ni-like Nb at 204.2 Å that was predicted to show gain. When pumped with a train of pulses containing less than 1 J per pulse, significant emission was recorded at 204.2 Å following the second and the third pulses. We measured the small signal gain coefficient per Joule of incident laser energy to be 1.49±0.42 cm^–1 J^–1 for this laser transition, which is higher by several orders of magnitude than that reported for other collisional laser systems in this wavelength range.

Radiative lifetimes of single fine structure levels of the multiplets 3d⁶ 4s(a⁶ D)4p z⁵ D ⁰ and 3d⁷ (a⁴ F)4py ⁵F⁰ of the FeI spectrum were measured. The different levels were excited by a tunable dye laser which was pumped by a pulsed nitrogen laser. The exponential decay of the fluorescence was measured directly.     

Soft X-ray amplification by Li-like Al10+ and Si11+ ions in recombining plasmas

Experimental studies of soft X-ray lasers were carried out on the six-beam laser facility and the LF 12 laser facility of SIOM. Using a home-made one-dimensional spatially resolved grazing incidence grating spectrograph, XUV amplification has been observed in Li-like aluminum and silicon ions, by irradiation of slab targets with a line-focused laser. Based on time-integrated measurement, gain coefficients are 3.1 cm^–1 for the 105.7 Å 5f–3d transition in Li-like Al ions, and 1.5 cm^–1 and 1.4 cm^–1 for the 88.9 Å 5f–3d and the 87.3 Å 5d–3p transitions in Li-like Si ions, respectively. The maximum gain × length products (GL) are about 2.5.
