Theoretical studies on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of Ag2HgSnSe4

We investigate the electronic structure of Ag₂HgSnSe₄ in a wurtzite-stannite structure with the first principles method. This crystal is a direct band-gap compound. In addition the dielectric function, absorption coefficient, reflectivity, and energy-loss function are studied using the density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation. We discuss the optical transitions between the valence bands and the conduction bands in the spectrum of the imaginary part of the dielectric function at length. We also find a very high absorption coefficient and a wide absorption band for this material. The prominent structures in the spectra of reflectivity and the energy-loss function are discussed in detail.     

Ti-doped nano-porous graphene: A material for hydrogen storage and sensor

Clustering of Ti on carbon nanostructures has proved to be an obstacle in their use as hydrogen storagematerials. Using density functional theory we show that Ti atoms will not cluster at moderate concentrations when doped into nanoporous graphene. Since each Ti atom can bind up to three hydrogen molecules with an average binding energy of 0.54 eV/H₂, this material can be ideal for storing hydrogen under ambient thermodynamic conditions. In addition, nanoporous graphene is magnetic with or without Ti doping, but when it is fully saturated with hydrogen, the magnetism disappears. This novel feature suggests that nanoporous graphene cannot only be used for storing hydrogen, but also as a hydrogen sensor.     

Modeling the THz spectrum of the bentazon

Terahertz (THz) spectra of bentazon are determined within the range of 0.3 2.4 THz at room temperature.Density functional methods are used to compute the THz spectra using three different programs:Gaussian03 for isolated-molecule form,DMol 3 and CRYSTAL09 for solid-state forms.Among the three,the computed THz spectrum of CRYSTAL09 shows better bond length and angle agreements with Xray experimental results,and corresponds with observed THz experiment spectral characteristics.The isolated-molecule vibrational mode values are less by half than those derived from solid-state calculations.The last five peak positions of the two solid-state computations coincide with each other.Moreover,all the experimental THz absorption peaks are assigned by utilizing CRYSTAL09.     

Modified adaptive algebraic tomographic reconstruction of gas distribution from incomplete projection by a two-wavelength absorption scheme

A modified adaptive algebraic reconstruction technique (MAART) with an auto-adjustment relaxation parameter and smoothness regularization is developed to reveal the tomographic reconstruction of H 2 O distribution in combustion from incomplete projections. Determinations of relaxation parameter and regularization factor are discussed with regard to the consideration of improvement in reconstruction and reduction of computational burden. A two-wavelength scheme from tunable diode laser absorption measurement, 7444.36 and 7185.59 cm 1 , is used to simplify the nonlinear solution problem for obtaining the tomographic distributions of concentration and temperature simultaneously. Results of calculations demonstrate that MAART can perform the reconstruction results more efficiently with little complex modification and much lower iterations as compared with the traditional algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) or simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT) methods. The stability of the algorithm is studied by reconstruction from projections with random noise at different levels to demonstrate the dependence of reconstruction results on precise line-of-sight measurements.     

Influence of incident light polarization on photonic nanojet

Dielectric microspheres can confine light in a three-dimensional (3D) region called photonic nanojet is shown when they are illuminated by different polarized beams. The influence of incident light polarization on photonic nanojet using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is demostrated. The axial field intensity profiles of photonic nanojets for both the linear and circular polarization incident beams are very similar. Azimuthal polarization incident beam induces a doughnut beam along the optical axis, while the radial polarization incident beam permits one to reach an effective volume as small as 0.7(λ/n) 3 .
