He-N2 radiofrequency discharge: Influence of N2 on discharge and afterglow

A diagnostic study q (energy transfer processes in a He-N₂ flowing discharge and afterglow has been performed in a radiofrequency-produced plasma cooled in a liquid nitrogen hath. Optical emission spectroscopy in the visible and infrared spectral range as well as Langrnuir probe diagnostics were used. The vibrational kinetics of CO injected in such an afterglow has been examined. It shows a slow cooling of the electrons in the afterglow regime. The electron kinetics responsible joy CO vibrahonal excitation is turned off when N₂ is added to the He discharge, while that for vibrationally excited N₂ molecules is turned on. The results are discussed on the basis of previous theorerical calculations and experiments on the He-N₂ system.     

Nuclear Excitation by X-Ray Emission of Femtosecond Laser Plasma

The proposed model of laser plasma emission spectrum formation enables us to determine the absolute value of the laser pulse to plasma emitted radiation conversion factor, profile of the emission spectrum, and frequency distribution of the intensity and energy in the emitted spectra. This is of interest for laser plasma diagnostics and provides a means for direct calculation of the number of excited nuclei in dependent on the parameters of laser pulse. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Propagation of Light in an Ensemble of Tripod Level Atoms

We study the propagation of a quantum probe light in an ensemble of tripod level atoms when the atoms are coupled to two other classical control fields. First we calculate the dispersion properties, such as susceptibility and group velocity, of the probe light within such an atomic medium under the case of three-photon resonance via the dynamical algebra method of collective atomic excitations. Then we calculate the dispersion of the probe light in the case that two classical control fields have the different detunings to the relative atomic transitions. Our results show that in both cases the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency can occur. Especially under the second case, we can find two transparency windows for the probe light.     

丙烯腈γ辐射聚合的NMR研究

用¹H NMR、¹³C NMR谱、自旋-晶格弛豫时间（T₁）和自旋-自旋弛豫时间（T₂）研究了丙烯腈在⁶⁰Co γ射线辐射聚合后的大分子结构变化与大分子链的运动. 结果表明随着辐射剂量增大，在单体形成聚合物的过程中，聚合物主链上出现了少量的-OH基团，继续增大辐射剂量， -OH部分被氧化. 对聚合物溶液的变温氢谱的研究表明，溶剂中的残余水与上述-OH形成氢键，且随着温度升高氢键被破坏，同时H₂O与-OH之间还存在着质子交换. 利用¹³C NMR谱对丙烯腈辐射聚合的产物进行了序列结构分析. 对T₁和T₂的研究表明，辐射剂量的增大并未影响到聚丙烯腈的链运动，证明了在丙烯腈的辐射聚合过程交联反应未发生.

弱耦合多原子半无限晶体中磁极化子的激发能量

近年来国内外对多原子极性晶体中磁极化子性质的研究十分活跃,Zorkani等采用变分法计算了束缚磁极化子的基态能量,Kandemir等采用束缚朗道态讨论了二维大磁极化子的基态和第一激发态能量,国内一些学者采用微扰法和新颖算符法讨论了多原子极性晶体中表面和体磁极化子的性质。采用线性组合算符和幺正变换,研究磁场中多原子半无限极性晶体中电子和光学声子弱耦合相互作用所产生的极化子的第一激发态能量及平均声子数。结果表明:当电子无限接近晶体表面时,磁极化子的基态能量仅为Landau能量;第一激发态能量为Landau基态能量的2倍;平均声子数等于各支与电子耦合的体光学声子数和表面光学声子数之和。而当电子处于晶体深处时,磁极化子的基态能量却为Landau基态能量与各支体光学声子以及表面光学声子分别耦合的能量之和;第一激发态能量仍为Landau基态能量的2倍;平均声子数等于各支与电子耦合的体光学声子数和与所处深度有关的各支体光学声子数之和,而与各支表面光学声子无关。

A compact optical heterodyne interferometer by optical integration and its application

A compact high-resolution optical heterodyne interferometer combining a two-frequency light module and a minute optical system is described. The light module, which generates two independent frequencies of light, is fabricated by proton exchange method on LiNbO₃ substrate. We report an experiment evaluating measurement accuracy using a micro-displacement measurement system which incorporates this interferometer. Results of the experiment with a standard thickness sample show high thermal stability with maximum measurement error of 1.8 nm at a temperature from 19°C to 33°C. The system was used to measure the hysteresis of a piezoelectric element for displacements of several nm, thereby making it possible to analyze the system quantitatively in practice.     

Spectroscopy of the regenerative soot

The mechanisms and processes of the formation of the regenerative soot in a graphite hollow cathode discharge that produces and emits carbon clusters are presented. Mass spectrometry with a specially designed E×B velocity filter analyzes the entire range of the charged clusters from C ₁ to ∼C ₄₃₀₀. The state of the carbon vapour within the source is evaluated by using the characteristic line emissions from the carbonaceous discharge whose formative mechanisms depend upon the kinetic and potential sputtering of the sooted cathode. The carbonaceous discharge generates atomic and ionic C and its clusters C _m (m≥ 2), noble gas metastable atoms and ions, energetic electrons and photons in the cavity of the graphite hollow cathode. The parameters of soot formation and its recycling depend critically on the discharge parameters, the geometry of the hollow cathode and 3D profile of the cusp magnetic field contours.

The excited states of pyrazine: A basis set study

Summary Multiconfigurational second order perturbation theory (CASSCF/CASPT2) has been used to investigate the dependence of computed valence excitation energies and transition moments on the basis sets. Pyrazine has been selected as the test molecule. Atomic normal orbital (ANO) type basis sets are used throughout. Contractions of the structure (4s3p1d/2s) are found to be an optimal compromise between the quality and the size of the calculations and are capable of yielding results virtually identical to more extended basis sets.
