Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of a Series of Azulene Derivatives

The first hyperpolarizabilities of a series of novel azulenic-barbituric acid chromophores have been studied by using 12 excitation wavelengths, ranging from 900 to 1907 nm. The dispersion relation of the first hyperpolarizabilities of chromophores holds the same tendency as the experimental results. In addition, the static first hyperpolarizability β0 of molecules was calculated by means of the Sum-Over-States (SOS) expression and the two-level formula respectively. The results show that these molecules possess large static first hyperpolarizabilities and the, β0 value increases as the donor or acceptor strength enhances; the distorted degree of molecules has also an important influence on the β0 value.

Multiple Scattering Effects of Ag Particles in Random Ag-SiN Film

A layer of 40nm-thick Ag-SiN film with Ag nano-particles embedded and distributed randomly in the SiN thin film were deposited by the method of radiant-frequency magnetron sputtering. Specimens orderly comprising a random Ag-SiN film and an optical phase change recording layer were exposed to a focused laser beam with wavelength of 69Ohm. It is shown that, with a random Ag-SiN layer deposited above the recording layer. Calculation by the finite difference time domain method of a 4Ohm-thick SiN film under a Gaussian beam irradiation has been carried out to simulate the near-field distribution in the film, which showed a huge local near-field intensity enhancement of about 200 times if small Ag particles with diameter of 6 nm were modelled inthe SiN film in the central region of the in cident laser spot.     

Electron Spin Resonance Studies of Mn^2＋ in Freshwater Snail Shells： Pomacea Canaliculata Lamarck and Fossilized Snail Shell

We study paramagnetic Mn^2 ions present in the nowadays shells of univalve freshwater snails of Pomacea canaliculata lamarck (PCL) and the fossilized freshwater snail (FFS), Viviparus. All these shells are abundant in Thailand. The PCL shells were ground into fine powder. A set of seven samples were then separately annealed for 2 h in air atmosphere at different annealing temperatures while the FFS powder was characterized as-received. The PCL shells mainly consist of aragonite and a fraction of calcite. The heat treatments of the PCL powder samples at temperature higher than 450℃ resulted in an irreversible phase transformation from aragonite to calcite. However, it is found that the FFS shell is mainly made of calcite, with a minor fraction of aragonite. The crystal structure of the high-temperature-annealed PCL samples are quite similar to that of FFS, which indicates that the metamorphosis (aragonite→calcite) in the FFS shell had occurred but was not yet completed, although it had remained under the pressure and temperature of the Earth‘s crusts over millions of years. Our detailed ESR spectral analyses of PCL and FFS show that Mn^2 ions enter the Ca^2 sites during a biomineralization process. Simulated ESR parameters of PCL-500 of Mn^2 at a uniaxial site of calcite are reported. It is surprising to And that the ratio of Mn^2 concentration present in FFS to those in PCL shells evaluated from ESR spectra is as much as 10:1.
