飞秒时间分辨实验中泵浦-探测交叉相关函数的测量和时间零点的确定

飞秒激光技术的出现使得实时探测与跟踪激发态超快弛豫动力学过程成为可能,并能够给出激发态动力学过程清晰的物理图像。而在飞秒时间分辨实验中,泵浦-探测相关函数和时间零点直接影响实验结果的可靠性和准确性。本文结合飞秒激光在分子激发态超快动力学过程中的应用进展,介绍了根据实验条件和要求,在具体实验过程中泵浦-探测相关函数测量和时间零点确定的几种方法。实验中选择可见光作为泵浦光和探测光时,可以通过测定随泵浦-探测时间延迟变化的泵浦激光与探测激光的和频/差频光强来确定泵浦探测交叉相关函数和时间零点;而选择中心波长在紫外甚至真空紫外的激光脉冲作为泵浦光或探测光时,泵浦-探测交叉相关函数通常采用校正的方法测量。     

飞秒时间分辨实验中相关函数和时间零点的确定

结合飞秒激光在研究分子激发态弛豫动力学中的应用,介绍了几种飞秒时间分辨实验中确定泵浦激光脉冲与探测激光脉冲的相关函数和时间零点的方法.对于波长在可见波段的泵浦和探测激光脉冲,我们可以利用非线性光学的技术手段,探测泵浦光与探测光的和频光的强度随二者间的时间延迟的变化来确定相关函数和时间零点;对于波长在紫外甚至更短的波段的泵浦和探测激光脉冲,由于单脉冲能量比较低,目前还很难利用技术手段来测定泵浦激光与探测激光的相关函数及时间零点,可以利用某些原子气体(如Xe)或某些具有短寿命态的分子作平行实验进行间接测量.     

DNA分析仪的灵敏度分析

设计了DNA分析仪,采用激光诱导荧光对样品的毛细管电泳结果进行检测,对仪器的灵敏度进行了理论分析和实验测试.分析表明:荧光的探测灵敏度取决于入射到光探测器(PMT或CCD)上的荧光强度及光探测器自身的探测能力.结合设计参量,计算得到DNA分析仪针对染料TO(thiazole orange)作为荧光标记的探测灵敏度为0.127 fluor/μm3个荧光分子.和实验结果相比,双链DNA样品pGEM-3Zf(+)/Hae III Markers加TO进行毛细管电泳实验,得到实际的探测灵敏度为0.145 4 fluor/μm3荧光分子.研究表明:提高探测灵敏度的措施是制备性能良好的毛细管涂层和合理使用筛分介质,合理增大激光功率、尽可能增大物镜的数值孔径、提高光电倍增管的探测下限.

Nanoscale oscillatory fracture propagation in metallic glasses

We describe the oscillatory crack propagation for small propagation velocities at the atomistic scale that was recently observed for brittle metallic glasses [G. Wang, Y.T. Wang, Y.H. Liu, M.X. Pan, D.Q. Zhao, W.H. Wang, Appl. Lett. 89 (2006) 121909; G. Wang, D.Q. Zhao, H.Y. Bai, M.X. Pan, A.L. Xia, B.S. Han, X.K. Xi, Y. Wu, W.H. Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98 (2007) 235501]. Based on a simple model of crack propagation [Y. Braiman, T. Egami, Phys. Rev. E, 77 (2008) 065101(R)], we derived and analyzed expressions for the feature size, oscillation period, and maximum strain accumulated in the material.
