Annealing Effect on Chain Segment Motion and Charge Trapping and Detrapping in Nylon 1010

The chain segment motion and charge trapping and detrapping in nylon 1010 films were investigated by means of thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC). There were three current peaks (named α, ρ1, and ρ2 peaks, respectively) in the experimental TSDC spectra above room temperature. The α peak is attributed to a background dipole relaxation by the motion of chain segments and space charge contribution, the ρ1 peak is originated from a space charge trapped in the bulk amorphous regions and the interphase between crystalline and amorphous regions, the ρ2 peak is originated from space charge trapped in crystalline regions. By analyzing the characteristic parameters of these peaks, it was found that with in increase of the degree of crystallinity the activation energy of the a peak increased from 1.12 to 1.22 eV and the trap depth of the ρ2 peak increased from 2.70 to 2.82 eV, while the trap depth of the ρ1 peak decreased from 1.50 to 1.29 eV. Annealing induced a decrease of the chain segment mobility and promoted the creation of traps in nylon 1010. Annealing also decreased the stability of the trapped charges in the bulk amorphous and the interphase regions and increased the stability of the trapped charges in the crystalline regions.     

Electrical field analysis of metal‐surface plasmon resonance using a biaxially strained Si substrate

Electrical field components of metal‐surface plasmon resonance were analyzed in detail. Both longitudinal optical (LO) and transverse optical (TO) phonon modes of a biaxially strained Si layer can be excited by surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The z to y polarization ratio in SERS measurements was calculated to be 0.78 using the intensity ratio of TO to LO phonon modes. The electrical field components of SERS were also calculated by the finite‐difference time‐domain method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fluorescence Depolarization Due to Excitation Energy Migration in Polymeric Micelles: A Monte Carlo Study

Cores of block copolymer micelles have been studied by Monte Carlo simulation. Core-forming chains have been modeled as self-avoiding chains enclosed in a spherical cavity and tethered to its surface. A fraction of the untethered end segments of chains (18–53%) has been treated as fluorescent probes. The time-dependent solution of the Pauli master equation that describes excitation energy migration among probes has been averaged in an ensemble of 10⁴ simulated cores. We have studied the dependence of the depolarization function G ^S(t), i.e., the probability that the originally excited probe is still excited at time t, on the chain length and on the energy migration critical radius of the probe. Cores with randomly solubilized probes and with clusters of probes have been also studied for comparison.     

Magnetic studies of colossal magnetoresistance perovskites on macroscopic,mesoscopic and microscopic length scales

We have investigated magnetic correlations in various CMR manganites on macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic length scales by carrying out DC magnetization, neutron depolarization, and neutron diffraction measurements. We present here the effect of substituting Mn with Fe and La with Dy in the ferromagnetic La_0.7−xCa_xMnO₃ (x ∼ 0.3–0.33) compounds. Neutron diffraction has been used in order to characterize the long-range magnetic order and its gradual suppression by the substitution. Neutron depolarization study has been carried out in order to bridge the gap in our understanding regarding the nature of magnetic correlation obtained from the macroscopic and microscopic measurements. In particular, our study on La_0.67Ca_0.33Mn_0.9Fe_0.1O₃ has established the fact that a true double exchange mediated spin-glass is insulating. In another study of La-site ionic size effect and its disorder in (La_1−x Dy _x )_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃, we have investigated the evolution of the length scale of magnetic ordering with a possible microscopic explanation and the results have been compared with that for the light rare earth substituted compounds.     

膜截止滤光片的消偏振设计

薄膜截止滤光片在倾斜入射时不可避免地会产生s和 p二个偏振分量的分离,因而在许多应用,特别是光通讯的应用中成为一个棘手的难题。提出了一种新的设计方法,对最常用的45°入射角,实现了长波通和短波通两种截止滤光片的完全消偏振, 在透射率为50%处,其偏振分离分别为0.3 nm和 0.1 nm。基本的设计方法是采用宽带法布里珀罗薄膜干涉滤光片中心波长两侧的干涉带作为长波通或短波通截止滤光片的初始膜系,然后经过适当的优化以提高透射带的透射率。宽带干涉滤光片的间隔层常由半波长厚度的高、低折射率混合膜层组成,如2H2L2H或2L2H2L。由于这种设计的截止区和透射带带宽常嫌不足,故提出了展宽截止区和透射带的方法。对一个典型的短波通截止滤光片,在波长1550 nm,截止区和透射带宽均达到了200 nm。这种设计方法不仅简单、性能优良,而且膜厚控制容差较大,故易于制造。     

Femtosecond Dynamics of Optically Induced Anisotropy of Complex Molecules in the Gas Phase

The evolution of optically induced anisotropy in an equilibrium ensemble of free asymmetric tops under collisionless conditions has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The dynamics of the orientation correlation functions has been studied, the results of femtosecond experiments on measurement of relaxation of the optically induced anisotropy for perylene in the gas phase are presented, and their interpretation within the framework of the theory developed is given. It is shown that in contrast to stationary anisotropy, its time kinetics has more complete characteristic information about the dynamics of vector correlations in a molecular ensemble.     

Specific molecular properties of organic solvents determine the fluorescence depolarization of DPH and TMA-DPH in membranes

In pig liver microsomes and protein-free egg PC liposomes the effects of organic solvent molecules on the fluorescence depolarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and 1-[4-(trimethylamino)phenyl]-6-phenyl-hexa-3,5-triene (TMA-DPH) were investigated. Aromaticity, alkyl chain length, and stereometry of the solvent molecules are shown to determine the changes of fluorescence depolarization. A concentration-dependent decrease in the fluorescence anisotropy is obtained with aromatic molecules but not with aliphatic molecules. The decrease correlates with the increasing side chain length of alkylbenzenes for both fluorophors and both membrane systems. Benzene in microsomes deviates characteristically from this trend. Measurements of TMA-DPH reveal smaller changes of anisotropy but yield the same qualitative results. Moreover, it is possible to distinguish the effects of the different stereometric properties of the three xylene isomers on the fluorescence anisotropy of DPH. According to their alkyl chain length and their specific stereometry, they exert the strongest fluidizing effect of all solvents investigated.     

The influence of water structure on the rotational depolarization of fluorescence

A method based on the rotational depolarization of fluorescence of dye molecules acting as luminescent sonds is proposed to study the temperature changes in the structure of water. A visible discrepancy of the experimental points from the linear Perrin formula was found for erythrosine B in water. From the emission anisotropy and the mean fluorescence lifetime, the effective Volume V of erythrosine B in water was determined. It was shown that the temperature changes in the effective volume can be associated with those in the water structure.
