Properties of resonant interatomic Coulombic decay in Ne dimers

Properties of the interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) process in Ne dimers have been obtained by tracking the formation of energetic Ne+ ions. The double photoionization cross section, deduced from the Ne+/Ne+ coincidence signal, is dominated by the ICD process and presents a threshold 280 meV below the atomic Ne+2s(-1) threshold. Rydberg excitation of a 2s electron in the dimer creates molecular Rydberg states whose Sigma and Pi symmetries have been resolved. These excited states decay by a resonant ICD process releasing an energetic Ne+ ion and a neutral excited Ne* fragment. Subsequent autoionization of the Ne* fragment explains a double photoionization threshold below the dimer 2s ionization threshold.     

中能Ne~(4+)离子诱导的羰基硫分子三体碎裂动力学分析

利用反应显微成像谱仪开展了56 keV/u的Ne~(4+)离子与羰基硫(OCS)气体的交叉碰撞实验,研究了Ne~(4+)离子诱导的OCS~(3+)的碎裂动力学.通过符合探测三个末态离子,重构了OCS~(3+)离子三体碎裂对应的牛顿图和Dalitz图,并明确区分了直接解离和次序解离两种碎裂过程.重构了OCS~(3+)离子解离过程的动能释放(KER)分布,发现其峰值在25 eV处,同时在18 eV处有肩膀结构的存在,其中25 eV左右的峰来源于直接解离过程,18 eV处的肩膀结构来源于次序解离和非次序解离两种过程.通过分析不同能量和不同电荷态下重离子碰撞实验所得到的KER谱,发现微扰强度不是影响态布居的主要因素.OCS~(3+)次序解离中的第二步KER的峰值在6.2 eV处.结合以往的实验结果,我们得出结论:多电离态的分子发生次序碎裂的根源在于二价离子碎片存在亚稳态,而重构得到的第二步KER可以反映亚稳态离子的电子态信息.     

超短脉冲激光场中间二氯苯的激发态动力学

利用飞秒时间分辨的飞行时间质谱技术研究了间二氯苯的激发态动力学.间二氯苯分子吸收一个200 nm或者267 nm的光子被抽运到激发态,随后再吸收多个800 nm的光子被电离.实验获得了电离产生的离子质谱信号及其随抽运探测激光延迟时间的变化曲线.在200 nm时,分子被抽运到激发态(π,π*),可观察到三个相互竞争的解离通道的寿命:内转换到排斥态(n,σ*)或者(π,σ*)并发生快速解离,其寿命约(0.15±0.01)ps;内转换到基态的高振动态,能量在基态"热"振动态间弛豫的寿命约为(4.94±0.08)ps;系间窜越到相邻的三重态从而发生预解离过程,其寿命约为(110.09±4.33)ps.在267 nm时,分子被抽运到第一激发态的低振动态,可观察到一个长寿命(约(1.06±0.05)ns)的系间窜越过程.除此之外,在碎片离子信号中还观察到了激发态与基态的高振动态之间的内转换过程.     

Excited-state absorption and energy output of laser ruby

The laser performance, luminescence intensity and absorption in excited state of rubies annealed in reducing or oxidizing atmosphere is given. Rubies doped with Mg, Ti or Fe were compared to those containing Cr only. The decrease of energy output is caused by the non-radiative transitions from the excited states to the ground⁴A₂ state. O^– centre developed by the presence of the large ions facilitate the transitions from the upper excited states only, whereas Fe and to a less extent Ti ions make the non-radiative transition from the metastable²E level to the⁴A₂ level possible. Ti³⁺ ions filter also the UV content of the flashlight and prevent the transition from the²E to the higher states.

Cascade-avalanche up-conversion in Tm3+:YLF crystals

New efficient mechanisms of long-wavelength excitation of short-wavelength luminescence in a system of rare-earth impurity ions are proposed. The model studied involves a multilevel system of electronic states of a rare-earth ion interacting with the long-wavelength emission that is in resonance with one or several transitions between the excited levels. The concentration of impurity ions is assumed to be sufficiently high, so that the interionic cross-relaxation and the up-conversion play a significant role. Moreover, the model includes processes similar to photon avalanche, in which the photoinduced excitation of a single ion is converted into lower-level excitations of several ions, each of them reentering the process after photon absorption. Numerical solutions of the system of balance equations for a multilevel system are obtained with calculated and semiempirical parameters of self-quenching and up-conversion. It is shown that, in a system of Tm³⁺ impurity ions, short-wavelength luminescence at λ≥0.29 μm can be efficiently excited by radiation at λ?1.11 or 0.649 μm with a moderate intensity.     

Ultraviolet and infrared photon-excited synergistic effect in Er3+-doped YbF3 phosphors

A synergistic effect between UV down-conversion and IR up-conversion is witnessed in YbF3:Er3+ phosphors by employing the dual wavelength (369 nm and 980 nm) excitation source. The synergistic effect originates from an abnormal energy transfer between Er3+ ions, in which the Er3+ ions in metastable states excited by 369 nm photons are excited again by the 980 nm IR photons. The dual wavelength excited red emission intensity is 1.1 times the total red emission intensities from 369 nm and 980 nm single excitation. The synergistic effect refers us to a way to convert both high-energy and low-energy photons into one middle-energy photon with high quantum yield.     

Influence of silver on the Sm<Superscript>3+</Superscript> luminescence in “Aerosil” silica glasses

The introduction of silver into the samarium-containing silica glasses prepared by the original solgel method leads to the formation of complex optical centers involving samarium ions and simple and/or complex silver ions. These centers are characterized by the effective sensitization of Sm³⁺ luminescence by Ag⁺, (Ag₂)⁺, and (Ag⁺)₂ ions according to the exchange mechanism for, at least, Sm³⁺-Ag⁺ centers. The formation of Sm-Ag centers is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of nonbridging oxygen ions, which prevent the reduction of silver ions by hydrogen. Silver nanoparticles formed in small amounts upon this reduction are effective quenchers of luminescence from the corresponding excited states of Sm³⁺ ions.     

Luminescence and origin of lead-related centers in single crystalline films of Y2SiO5 and Lu2SiO5

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 Y₂SiO₅ and Lu₂SiO₅ single crystalline films grown by liquid phase epitaxy method from the PbO-based flux and, owing to that, containing lead ions substituting for Y³⁺ or Lu³⁺ 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 Pb²⁺ ions substituting for Y³⁺ or Lu³⁺ ions in the Y1 and Lu1 lattice sites of the X₂ 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.     

Ultrafast dynamics of cationic electronic states of vinyl bromide by strong-field ionization-photofragmentation

Strong field ionization-photofragmentation(SFI-PF)with ultrafast pump–probe scheme is a powerful approach to study the dynamics of molecular cationic electronic states.Here we carry out a SFI-PF study on the cationic electronic states of vinyl bromide,C₂H₃Br.The yields of the parent C₂H₃Br₊and the formation of the fragment(Br⁺,C₂H⁺2 and C₂H⁺3)ions have been measured at different pump–probe delay time.Analysis provides experimental evidence of A²A'–X²A' internal conversion of vinyl bromide cations which occurs in a time of about 220 fs,and the time of C₂H₃⁺ formation induced by the dissociation of the A²A' state around 300 fs.The study would add our knowledge of the behavior of electronic excited states of complex molecular cations.     

Effect of electrons of the multiply charged ion core on single-electron capture

The population of various electronic states of particles that arise during the capture of a single electron in hydrogen and helium atoms, as well as hydrogen molecules, by Ar³⁺ and Ne³⁺ ions with an energy of several kiloelectronvolts was studied by collision spectroscopy, viz., precision analysis of kinetic energy variation for ions formed as a result of interaction between ions and atoms. It is shown that single-electron capture in many cases is a multielectron process accompanied by the rearrangement of a multiply charged ion core. It is found that the triply charged Ne³⁺ ions formed as a result of ionization of Ne atoms by electron impacts are formed mainly in metastable states. The population of excited states of particles during their multiple ionization should be taken into account in determining the characteristics of various particles by the appearance potential method. Collision spectroscopy can be used for analyzing the metastable ion impurities in ionic beams.     

Luminescence from porous silicon doped with erbium–ytterbium complexes

The study of photoluminescence (PL) from porous silicon (PS) containing complexes of gadolinium oxychloride with Er³⁺- and Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ is reported. The concentration dependencies of PL intensity of PS with Er³⁺ containing complex have been studied. The dependencies have retained the main features that are characteristic of the pure complex for both IR and visible regions of the PL spectra. This allows interpretation of PL processes in complex-containing PS lthrough the concept of multiplication of low-energy electron excitations and cross-relaxation degradation of higher excited states. It has been shown that introducing Yb³⁺ ions into the complex significantly increases the PL intensity. Mechanisms associated with defect formation, the intrinsic conversion of excitation energy within Yb³⁺, and the conversion within Er³⁺ ions followed by transferring of excitation energy to the Yb³⁺ ions has been considered. The PL polarization with excitation in the visible is reported as well.

报道了高电荷态离子^126Xe^q (6≤q≤30)入射到固体Al表面产生的200～1000nm波段的发射光谱的实验结果。实验表明,在弱束流(nA量级)高电荷态的情况下,通过入射离子与固体靶的相互作用可有效地产生原子和离子的复杂组态间跃迁所形成的可见光波段的特征谱线,而且当入射离子的电荷剥离数超过一临界值后(对Al,q=26),谱线相对强度突然显著增强。根据经典过垒模型COB(The classic over-barrier model),在入射离子的动能较小(～1keV／u)的条件下．高电荷态离子与表面相互作用过程中电子的俘获或转移起着非常重要的作用,通过提高入射离子的电荷态可增强入射离子俘获电子的能力．显著增强激发粒子的光谱线的强度。

Atomic excitations in sputtering studied with group two element targets

Solid targets of Be, Mg, Zn, and Cd have been bombarded with 50 keV Ar⁺ ions. The relative excitation of the lowest-lying excited levels in sputtered neutrals and singly-charged ions have been measured using optical spectrometry. It is found that singly-charged ions are excited much more efficiently than neutral atoms. This is discussed, and it is concluded that atomic excitation in sputtering results from electron pick-up to excited states in initially ionized atoms rather than from inelastic atom-atom or electron-atom collisions.

Effects of molecular structure on ion disintegration patterns in ionization of O2 and N2 by short laser pulses

We demonstrate that the structure of the outermost orbitals of oxygen and nitrogen can be observed in the angular distribution of coincident ion pairs generated by the double ionization of these molecules by 8 fs laser pulses. We do this by establishing that these ions emerge from well defined excited electronic states of O2+2 and N2+2 respectively and that they are produced dominantly through a process which involves electron rescattering. The angular distributions of the ions from the two targets are very different, reflecting the different structures of the outermost orbitals of the two molecules.     

AlK壳层等离子体辐射谱模型的比对

碰撞辐射模型的比对研究对校验发展等离子体辐射谱模型、提高等离子体参数的诊断精度具有重要意义. 基于Al等离子体, 对常用的辐射模型代码FAC和FLYCHK K壳层辐射谱模型开展了比对研究, 详细比较了它们的离子丰度、特征线强度、谱发射率曲线和吸收系数曲线等特征, 并根据各能态的速率方程, 从FAC和FLYCHK模型的结构特点出发, 分析了造成这些差异的原因. FAC 和FLYCHK计算得到的类H、类He离子n=2, n=3激发态数密度有显著差异, 进而引起特征线发射率及其比值(He-IC/He-αup, He-βup/H-βup)的差异, 从而对等离子体参数的诊断结果产生影响. 除了模型中采用的能级结构和碰撞辐射过程速率外, 计算结果显著地受到FAC 和FLYCHK 模型结构的影响. n=2激发态数密度的差异是由FAC和FLYCHK分别采用能级和超组态(组态)的方式构建n=2激发态的速率方程而引起的, 而FAC代码忽略了n=3与更高激发态之间的碰撞耦合过程, 是引起n=3激发态数密度差异的原因. 主要特征线的吸收系数与基态能级的数密度相关, 受到激发态数密度的影响较小, 因此与谱发射率曲线相比, FAC和FLYCHK计算结果的差异更小.
