104 MeV alpha particle scattering from90, 92Zr

Differential cross sections have been measured for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 104 MeV alpha-particles from^{90, 92}Zr. The experimental data are analyzed in terms of coupled channels on the basis of a flexible anharmonic vibrator model and using different parametrizations of the radial shape of the extended optical potential. The results favour the squared Saxon-Woods type for the real part. Additionally to a radial momentum analysis of the real potentials a semimicroscopic folding model has been applied for extracting isoscalar quadrupole and hexadecapole transition rates.     

Measurement of isotope shift and hyperfine splitting of190, 191, 193, 197Pb isotopes by collinear laser spectroscopy

We report here on the measurement of isotope shift and hyperfine splitting of^{190, 191, 193, 197}Pb for the 723 nm atomic optical transition. Detailed analysis of the optical data has been done by combining them with the available muonic and electronicx-ray isotope shift data. The magnetic dipole moments and the electric quadrupole moments of the odd isotopes have been extracted from the hyperfine coupling constants of the atomic states involved in the optical transition used.     

Structural, ferroelectric and optical properties of Bi2VO5.5 thin films deposited on platinized silicon {(100) Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si} substrates

Bismuth vanadate (Bi₂VO_5.5, BVO) thin films have been deposited by a pulsed laser ablation technique on platinized silicon substrates. The surface morphology of the BVO thin films has been studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The optical properties of the BVO thin films were investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometric measurements in the 300–820 nm wavelength range. The refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k) and thickness of the BVO thin films have been obtained by fitting the ellipsometric experimental data in a four-phase model (air/BVO_rough/BVO/Pt). The values of the optical constants n and k that were determined through multilayer analysis at 600 nm were 2.31 and 0.056, respectively. For fitting the ellipsometric data and to interpret the optical constants, the unknown dielectric function of the BVO films was constructed using a Lorentz model. The roughness of the films was modeled in the Brugmann effective medium approximation and the results were compared with the AFM observations. PACS 78.20.-e; 77.84.-s; 77.55.+f

Analysis of optical re-modulation by multistage modeling of RSOA

The time-resolved multistage reservoir model well-known for semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is extended to analyze the behavior of a bulk homogeneous InP-InGaAsP buried heterostructure reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). Parameters for simulation have been extracted from the experimental RSOA characteristics. We have employed the model to explain the steady-state and re-modulation dynamics in the RSOA. Electrical modulation bandwidth and intermodulation distortion in the RSOA have been derived from the model and close agreement is obtained with the reported data. It is found out that the ripples in the upstream output from the RSOA for incomplete modulation erase of downstream modulated data follow Gaussian distribution, which simplifies the calculation of upstream SNR and bit error rate. It is explained in detail that amplitude ripples in the upstream data can be reduced by judicious choice of optical and electrical parameters of the RSOA. In particular, for an average low downstream power level (<−20 dBm) a good downstream modulation erase factor about 89% and 23 dB extinction ratio in the upstream modulated signal can be achieved.     

The elastic,electronic, and optical properties of PtSi and PtGe compounds

The structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of orthorhombic PtSi and PtGe were investigated using norm-conserving pseudopotentials within the local density approximation in the frame of density functional theory. The calculated lattice parameters and bulk modulus for PtSi and PtGe have been compared with the experimental and theoretical values. The second-order elastic constants were calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities and Debye temperature have also been estimated. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant were calculated. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.     

On Splitting the Conduction Band of Liquid Mercury

Electron characteristics of the contributions to the mercury optical conductivity at room temperature have been calculated based on comparison of the model spectrum of the optical conductivity with the experimental data.

Characterization of amorphous organic thin films, determination of precise model for spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements

The optical properties of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃), N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-1-1′biphenyl-4,4″diamine (α-NPD) and other amorphous organic materials for OLEDs application, e.g. 4,4-bis(2,2-diphenyl vinyl)-1,1-biphenyl (DPVBI) and Spiro-DPVBI have been studied by multi-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The thin films of these materials have been deposited by organic vapor phase deposition (OVPD). The structural characterization has been performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). Comparison of the measurements using these different independent techniques enables the precise determination of the optical model for dielectric function of these thin films. The detail analyses on Alq₃ and α-NPD show that the Kim model with Gaussian broadening provides a significantly better fit to the ellipsometry data than the frequently used harmonic oscillator model. This conclusion is further proved by performing similar measurements on other amorphous organic samples for OLEDs application, e.g. DPVBI and Spiro-DPVBI. This result can be explained by the characteristic features of electronic states in organic molecules.     

All-optical parallel data and address recovery scheme

In this paper, we have presented a parallel system model to recover data and address based on terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD)/semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-assisted Sagnac gate. The architecture is based on a system which has its input information containing data and address. Here, we first convert the original data into a coded form with the help of input address. Then the coded information is transmitted through the optical routing channel. At the receiver end, the model simultaneously extracts data and address at any point of the routing channel. The operations of the circuits are studied theoretically and analyzed through numerical simulations. The variation of contrast ratio, amplitude modulation, extinction ratio and bit error rate with control pulse energy and switching crosstalk with gain ratio has been thoroughly investigated.     

Experimental investigation and ab initio calculation of the properties of Sc-, in-doped bismuth titanates with the pyrochlore type structure

Using ab initio calculations, the data have been obtained on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of bismuth titanates with the pyrochlore type structure and compounds with the substitution of scandium or indium atoms for bismuth and titanium atoms. The results of the theoretical calculations agree with the experimentally obtained structural and optical characteristics of the synthesized compounds doped with scandium or indium. It has been shown that the substitution of scandium or indium atoms for bismuth atoms in the pyrochlore structure is energetically favorable. The energies corresponding to the direct and indirect electronic transitions in scandium- and indium-doped bismuth titanates have been determined based on the optical spectroscopy data obtained for the studied samples. These energies are in agreement with the theoretically calculated values.

The elastic scattering angular distributions of ¹¹B projectile on light, medium, and heavy target nuclei including ⁷Li, ⁹Be, ¹²C, ¹⁶O, ^24,25,26Mg, ²⁷Al, ²⁸Si, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁵⁸Ni, ⁵⁹Co, ⁶⁰Ni, ¹⁹⁷Au, ²⁰⁸Pb, and ²⁰⁹Bi have been analyzed at various incident energies. The theoretical results have been obtained by using two different nuclear potentials within the framework of the optical model (OM). Firstly, the double folding potential for real part and the Wood-Saxon (WS) potential for imaginary part have been applied. Secondly, the calculations with double folding potential for both real and imaginary part have been performed and compared with the experimental data. It has been seen that the results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. Also, the volume integrals and cross-sections for each reaction have been obtained. Finally, a new and simple formula for the imaginary potential depth has been derived to clarify the nuclear interactions of ¹¹B nucleus at low energy reactions.
