Spontaneous decay of an excited atom placed near a rectangular plate

Using the Born expansion of the Green tensor, we consider the spontaneous decay rate of an excited atom placed in the vicinity of a rectangular plate. We discuss the limitations of the commonly used simplifying assumption that the plate extends to infinity in the lateral directions and examine the effects of the atomic dipole moment orientation, atomic position, and plate boundary and thickness on the atomic decay rate. In particular, it is shown that due to the plate finite size, the spontaneous decay may be inhibited even when the atom is situated very close to the surface, and that in the boundary region, the spontaneous decay rate can be strongly modified.

压力对聚苯胺导电性的影响

 导电高聚物聚苯胺薄膜经过定向拉伸后，其有序度、电导及跃迁势垒都发生了很大变化。本文研究了准静水压力对定向拉伸前后，聚苯胺薄膜电学性质的影响。发现未定向拉伸的聚苯胺薄膜的电导随压力单调增加，跃迁势垒T₀随压力单调减少，而定向拉伸后的聚苯胺薄膜则在0.47 GPa出现电导的极大值，在0.35~0.71 GPa之间出现T₀的极小值，这个异常行为与聚乙炔、聚噻吩等导电高聚物均不相同。     

Cryogenic radiometer based absolute spectral power responsivity calibration of integrating sphere radiometer to be used in power measurements at optical fiber communication wavelengths

This paper covers the absolute spectral power responsivity calibration of spectralon-coated Integrating Sphere Radiometer (ISR) equipped with 3 mm diameter InGaAs photodiode to be used as a transfer standard in fiber optic power measurements against Electrical Substitution Cryogenic Radiometer (ESCR) in Optics Laboratory of National Metrology Institute (TUBITAK UME) of Turkey. The initial uncertainty arising from the use of the Electrically Calibrated Pyroelectric Radiometer (ECPR) as a transfer standard in radiometric scale is 0.5% (k=2), which particularly comes from irregularity in the surface homogeneity of ECPR. In order to eliminate the ECPR step as well as its initial uncertainty contribution in fiber optic power measurements, the calibration application herein was carried out. Moreover power stabilization measurements of DFB laser sources at both 1309.1 nm and 1549.0 nm, the beam size determinations, and spectral analyses of these laser sources as well as spatial and angular dependence of spectral responsivities of the ISR were presented in this paper. The total expanded uncertainties were calculated as 0.283% and 0.315% in the determination of absolute spectral power responsivities of the ISR for 1309.1 nm and 1549.0 nm wavelengths respectively (k=2).     

Tetrahedral chalcogenide clusters and open frameworks

By integrating porosity with electrical or optical properties, microporous chalcogenides may have unique applications. Here we review recent advances and discuss concepts in the synthesis and crystal structure of tetrahedral clusters and their frameworks. These chalcogenides can be viewed as trivalent metal chalcogenides doped with tetra-, di-, or monovalent metal cations. Low-valent cations help to increase the cluster size, while high-valent cations have the opposite effect.     

Transparent Conducting Films in the Zn--Sn--O Tie Line

Two Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ monolithic silica-alumina xerogels doped with different Yb³⁺ concentrations were prepared by sol–gel route. The samples were thermally treated in air at 950°C for 120 h, and Raman and UV-visible-NIR spectroscopy were used to monitor the degree of densification of the glasses and the residual OH     

A Polymer-Based All-Solid-State Internal Reference System for pH Glass Electrodes – Performance and Charge Transfer

An all-solid-state internal reference system for pH glass electrodes employing polypyrrole (PPy)-Nafion® composites is described. pH sensors based on this reference system are characterised at 23±3°C. The observed characteristics of the resulting all-solid-state sensors, i.e. slope and linearity of the calibration plot, response behaviour, and signal stability, are very promising, and the differences with respect to the parameters of conventional liquid filled sensors are negligible. The values of the zero potential point, which differ from those of conventional pH glass electrodes, could be controlled within limits via the composition of the PPy-Nafion composite.The excellent sensor performance observed seems to be the consequence of a reversible charge transfer between the ion-conducting membrane, the mixed conducting PPy-Nafion interlayer, and the metal wire. A first discussion of the mechanism of this charge transfer is given.
