Characterization of Cd1−xFexS diluted magnetic semiconductors grown at near phase conversion temperature

Fe-based cadmium sulfide alloy thin films have been grown on c-plane sapphire substrates by a low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique at different growth temperatures. From X-ray diffraction and absorption spectra of the samples, the evolutions with growth temperature show an inflexion at the growth temperature of 300 ^°C. This was attributed to the phase transformation from zinc-blende to wurtzite. With increasing growth temperature from 270 ^°C to 360 ^°C, Fe concentration in the films increases monotonously. The electronic states of Cd_1−xFe_xS were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Magnetic measurement shows Van Vleck paramagnetism of the Cd_1−xFe_xS thin film in the temperature region below 7 K.     

Magnetocaloric effect in ErCo2 compound

The ErCo2 compound is prepared by arc-melting and its entropy changes are calculated using Maxwell relation. Its entropy change reaches 38 J/（kg·K） and its refrigerant capacity achieves 291 J/kg at 0-5 T. The mean field approximation is used to calculate the magnetic entropy of ErCo2 compound. Results estimated by using the Maxwell relation deviate from mean field approximation calculations in ferrimagnetic state; however, the data obtained by the two ways are consistent in the vicinity of phase transition or at higher temperatures. This indicates that entropy changes are mainly derived from magnetic degree of freedom, and the lattice has almost no contribution to the entropy change in the vicinity of phase transition but its influence is obvious in the ferrimagnetic state below TC.     

Theoretical calculation of the partial cross section for first vibrational excitation in He-H2（D2,T2） collisions

In this paper, close-coupling method was applied to the He-H2 （D2,T2） system, and the first vibrational excitation cross sections of ＇00-10, 00-12, 00-14, 00-16＇ at different incident energy have been calculated. By analyzing the ditferences of these partial wave cross sections, this paper have obtained the change rules of the partial wave cross sections with increases of quantum number, and with change of reduced mass of system. Based on the calculation, influence on the partial wave cross sections brought by the variations in the reduced mass of systems and in the relative kinetic energy of incident atoms is discussed.[第一段]

Restoration of solar and star images with phase diversity-based blind deconvolution

The images recorded by a ground-based telescope are often degraded by atmospheric turbulence and the aberration of the optical system. Phase diversity-based blind deconvolution is an effective post-processing method that can be used to overcome the turbulence-induced degradation. The method uses an ensemble of short-exposure images obtained imultaneously from multiple cameras to jointly estimate the object and the wavefront distribution on pupil. Based on signal estimation theory and optimization theory, we derive the cost function and solve the large-scale optimization problem using a limited memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (L-BFGS) method. We apply the method to the urbulence degraded images generated with computer, the solar images acquired with the swedish vacuum solar telescope (SVST, 0.475m) in La Paima and the star images collected with 1.2-m telescope in Yunnan Observatory. In order to avoid edge effect in the restoration of the solar images, a modified Hanning apodized window is adopted.The star image till can be estored when the defocus distance is measured inaccurately. The restored results demonstrate that the method is efficient for removing the effect of turbulence and reconstructing the point-like or extended objects.     

Polarization-independent self-collimating bends and beam splitters in photonic crystals

Polarization independent bends and beam splitters for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations have been demonstrated in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhCs). In virtuel of equi-frequency contour analysis and finite-difference time-domain calculations, self-collimation behaviors for TE- and TM-polarizations are achieved at the same frequency. Simulation results show a 90-degree bend with 90% efficiency and beam splitters with about 96% total efficiency for both TE- and TMpolarizations, where the light is self-guided by the self-collimation effect. Such bends and beam splitters are expected to play important roles in optical devices where polarization insensitivity is needed.     

Study on optical gain of one-dimensional photonic crystals with active impurity

Localized fields in the defect mode of one-dimensional photonic crystals with active impurity are studied with the help of the theory of spontaneous emission from two-level atoms embedded in photonic crystals.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the enhancement of stimulated radiation, as well as the phenomena of transmissivity larger than unity and the abnormality of group velocity close to the edges of photonic band gap, are related to the negative imaginary part of the complex effective refractive index of doped layers. This means that the complex effective refractive index has a negative imaginary part, and that the impurity state with very high quality factor and great state density will occur in the photonic forbidden band if active impurity is introduced into the defect layer properly. Therefore, the spontaneous emission can be enhanced, the amplitude of stimulated emission will be very large and it occurs most probably close to the edges of photonic band gap with the fundamental reason, the group velocity close to the edges of band gap is very small or abnormal.

Effect of hydroxyl groups on Er doped Bi2O3-B2O3-SiO2 glasses

A series of Er³⁺-doped Bi₂O₃-B₂O₃-SiO₂-Na₂O glasses with different hydroxyl groups were prepared and the interaction between the Er³⁺ ions and OH groups was investigated. Infrared spectra were measured in order to calculate the exact content of OH groups in samples. The observed increase of the fluorescence lifetime with the oxygen bubbling time has been related to the reduction in the OH content concentration evidenced by infrared (IR) absorption spectra, which confirmed that the OH groups were dominant quenching centers of excited Er³⁺ and a cause of concentration quenching of 1.5 μm band emission. Various nonradiative decay rates from ⁴I_13/2 of Er³⁺ with the change of OH content were determined from the fluorescence lifetimes and radiative decay rates, which were calculated on the basis of Judd-Ofelt theory.
