Highly reflective AlGaAsSb/InP Bragg reflector at 1.55 μm grown by MOVPE

The metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy growth of a highly reflective 24-pair AlGaAsSb/InP-distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is reported for the first time. The influence of the growth parameters such as the V/III input ratio, the growth temperature and the pressure, the total H₂ flow, the gas velocity and the switching sequence of the source gases at the interfaces has been deeply investigated and optimized to achieve stable growth conditions. The DBR achieves a reflectivity as high as 99.5% around 1.55 μm, a uniform stable composition, and an excellent crystal quality over the 2 inch wafer, with a surface free of crosshatch and a defect density below 1/cm². For the optical characterizations, measurements of linear and nonlinear reflectivity, transmission, pump-probe and photoluminescence were done. The interfaces and bulk layers of InP/AlGaAsSb/InP heterostructures were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. High resolution X-ray diffraction measurements were used to determine the composition shift in the growth plane of the DBR. The measurements show the high quality of the growth and demonstrate that thick AlGaAsSb/InP heterostructures can be grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE), and in particular DBRs above 1.31 μm.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance and optical absorption spectra of Cr ions in cadmium phosphate glass

EPR and optical absorption investigations of chromium doped cadmium phosphate glass are carried out. Crystal field, spin-Hamiltonian and bonding parameters are evaluated. From the results and analyses of the EPR and optical studies, the site symmetry of Cr³⁺ ion in the glass is ascribed to a distorted octahedron. The bonding parameters suggest the ionic nature of Cr³⁺ ion with the ligands.     

New chiral nitrones as precursors of α,α-disubstituted amino-acids,according to the SRS principle

The preparation of new enantiopure cyclic nitrones based on the 1-oxy-2,3-dihydro-imidazol-4-one ring is described. The addition of arylmagnesium or alkynylzinc reagents to these nitrones can be achieved with total enantio- and diastereoselectivity, leading to α,α-disubstituted amino-acid precursors.     

钐(Ⅱ)类卡宾CH_3SmCH_2X(X=Cl、Br和Ⅰ)促进乙烯环丙烷化反应途径的理论研究(英文)

用密度泛函B3LYP方法研究了过渡金属钐类卡宾与乙烯的环丙烷化反应的机理。对三种不同的钐的SS试剂CH_3SmCH_2X(其中X=Cl、Br和Ⅰ)分别和CH_2CH_2反应的各反应物、中间体、过渡态和产物构型的全部结构几何参数进行了优化,用内禀反应坐标(IRC)计算和频率分析方法,对过渡态进行了验证。结果表明：CH_3SmCH_2X(其中X=Cl、Br和Ⅰ)与CH_2CH_2环丙烷化反应按亚甲基转移通道(通道A)和卡宾金属化通道(通道B)都可以进行,与锂类卡宾的反应机理相同,只是按亚甲基转移通道(通道A)进行反应较容易一些,而且此反应在较低的温度下就可以发生。     

Influence of fluoride on f-f transitions of Eu in LiEuM2O8 (M=Mo, W)

The influence of fluoride on the luminescence of LiEuM₂O₈ (M=Mo, W) was studied. LiEuMo₂O₈ and LiEuW₂O₈ formed the whole range of solid solutions, which emitted intense red luminescence under the excitations by 395, 465 and 535 nm wavelengths. When doped with fluoride, the materials also formed solid solutions and the luminescent intensity was remarkably enhanced. The phosphor with optimized compositions in this system would be a promising red component for solid-state lighting devices based on GaN light-emitting diodes.
