Experimental and theoretical studies on the one‐photon and two‐photon properties of a series of carbazole derivatives containing styrene

Symmetric‐type carbazole derivatives show great potential for application in two‐photon absorption (TPA) materials and organic light‐emitting diodes. The absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra of three different N‐alkyl symmetric‐type carbazole derivatives were investigated. The density functional theory (DFT) time‐dependent‐DFT//Becke, three‐parameter, Lee–Yang–Parr/6‐31 G* method has been used to theoretically study one‐photon absorption properties. The computational results are in good agreement with the available experimental values. The two‐photon excited fluorescence of the compounds was surveyed by 120 fs pulse at 790 nm Ti: sapphire laser operating at 1 kHz repetition rate. Two‐photon excited fluorescence was obtained in the range of 380–600 nm, and TPA cross‐sections were calculated. The TPA properties of the series of compounds were investigated by the ZINDO/single and double electronic excitation configuration interaction method. The influence of the chemical structure of the compounds on two‐photon optical properties was discussed. The results show how the different changes in one‐photon absorption and TPA properties on the basis of lengthening the conjugated bridge and the different carbazole N‐alkyl substituents are attributed to the transition dipole moment in the excited process.

Study of the electronic structure of the quasicrystalline Ti—Zr—Ni system

Photoelectron spectra and optical absorption spectra for clean surfaces of quasicrystalline samples of the Ti—Zr—Ni system are measured. The resonant photoelectron spectra are also measured in the range of photon energies corresponding to Ni 2p and Zr 3d absorption thresholds. The change in the intensities of the spectrum of the valence band near the Zr 3d threshold is insignificant. The emission of Auger electrons increases near the Ni 2p threshold in a resonance way. Our studies make it possible to reveal certain specific features of the electronic structure of quasicrystals, which can be used to construct models of actual electronic structures of quasi-crystalline materials.     

The excited states of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-7,8-diphenylcalicene; an investigation by a moments analysis of electro-optical spectra

To interpret electro-optical spectra a method based on moments analysis is described which may be particularly useful when an absorption band is associated with more than one electronic transition. An electro-optical study of the absorption spectrum of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-7,8-diphenylcalicene is reported. The near-ultraviolet absorption band contains three electronic transitions, an intense z-polarized one is flanked by two much weaker y-polarized transitions. Excited state dipole moments are determined. The dipole moment, which is large in the ground state, increases slightly upon excitation in the z-polarized band whereas it decreases drastically upon excitation in both y-polarized bands. These observations are explained and related to the unsubstituted calicene with the help of molecular orbital calculations.     

Covalency in the electronic structure of Fe3O4: An ultraviolet inverse photoemission investigation

The unoccupied electronic structure of an opend-shell transition metal oxide, namely Fe₃O₄, has been addressed by measuring ultraviolet angle-integrated inverse photoemission (IP) spectra acquired in the isochromat mode (hv=10.2-24 eV). Exploitation of photon energy dependence of symmetry-projected IP cross-sections and comparison with the O 1s X-ray absorption spectrum allow us to recognize a strong covalent admixture of Fe [3d; 4 (sp)]-and O (2p)-derived states in this compound.     

Two photon optogalvanic spectrum of theD-X system of HgBr

Two photon laser optogalvanic spectrum of theD-X system of HgBr molecule has been recorded using Nd-YAG laser pumped dye laser for the first time.

Vibrational constants for theX andD states of the two isotopic molecules have been determined.     

Charge-carrier dynamics in polythiophene films studied by in-situ measurement of flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity (FP-TRMC) and transient optical spectroscopy (TOS)

An in-situ measurement system for flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity (FP-TRMC) and transient optical spectroscopy (TOS) has been developed to perform simultaneous measurements of photo-induced changes in conductivity and charge-carrier density in an organic thin film. The electric field in the resonant cavity designed for the present system was analysed by electrostatic simulation. Using the present system and the simulated electric field, the photoconductivity and transient absorption in a regioregular poly(3-hexyl thiophene) film were measured using one particular geometry under photon excitation energies of 6.39, 4.98, 3.48, and 2.34?eV. The dynamics of photogenerated charge carriers is discussed in terms of the excitation energy and incident photon intensity. The transient absorption spectrum induced by 3.48?eV light is presented and compared with the TRMC transient.     

Multiphoton Spectroscopy

Abstract

Absorption and cmission spectroscopies, which are widely utilized by chemists, can be classified as one–photon spectroscopy. A molecule is excited from its ground state of energy E₀ to thc excited state of E_e by the absorption of one photon of frequency given by the Bohr's condition (hω=E_e-E₀). The reverse transition is accompanied by the emission of one photon of the same frcquency. Therefore, the molecular state energies can be directly obtained by the photon encrgies absorbed or emitted. Infrared, microwave, electronic absorption, and emission spectroscopies belong to this category of one–photon spectroscopy.

The vapor-phase infrared and Raman spectra of p-difluorobenzene (h4) and (d4)

This new study of the vapor-phase infrared and Raman spectra of p-difluorobenzene (h₄) and (d₄) includes assignments from the high-resolution electronic spectrum, from fluorescence spectra, and one assignment from the two photon electronic spectrum. A new set of frequencies and assignments has been made for the fundamentals of this important intermediate-sized molecule. The most important changes concern the assignments previously made for the lowfrequency a_u mode (ν₈), two members of the b_2u class (ν₁₉ and ν₂₀), and one very important change for the lowest frequency fundamental of the b_3u (out-of-plane) class (ν₃₀), which has been observed directly in the far infrared. The results are all corroborated by the assignments of the perdeuterated analog where changes in previous assignments of Fermi resonance pairs have also been made. Some interesting differences between the Raman spectra of the vapor and the liquid perproto compounds have not been adequately explained in this study.     

Comparison between different models for quantum jump superoperators in cavity QED experiments

We propose an experimental scheme to probe the mathematical form of quantum jump operators used in the theory of continuous photodetection and quantum trajectories in cavities. For this aim, we propose two main steps to be followed in an experimental design: (1) pass an atom through a high-Q cavity containing an electromagnetic field prepared in a thermal or coherent state, in order to enforce the absorption of one or more photons and (2) subsequently produce a measurement of the photon statistics in the new field state arising after the photon absorption. Then, comparing the probabilities of finding zero and one photon in the initial and final states of the field, one can draw conclusions on the form of the quantum jump operators. This scheme can be readily applied in a QED microwave cavity with the present-day technology, and it allows experimental investigations of the theory of quantum jumps due to different kinds of hypothetical reservoirs.     

苝四甲酸二酐薄膜电子结构的同步辐射共振光电子能谱研究

利用基于同步辐射的近边X射线吸收精细结构谱(NEXAFS)和共振光电子谱(RPES)研究了苝四甲酸二酐分子(PTCDA)薄膜的电子结构.碳K边NEXAFS谱中能量小于290 eV的四个峰对应于PTCDA分子不同化学环境碳原子1s电子到未占据分子轨道的共振跃迁.RPES谱中观察到共振光电子发射和共振俄歇电子发射导致的共振峰结构,以及二次谐波激发的碳1s信号.根据电子动能对入射光能量的依赖性分别对三类峰结构进行了归属.同时,发现PTCDA分子轨道共振光电子峰的强度具有光子能量依赖性.这种能量选择性共振增强效应是由于PTCDA分子轨道空间分布差异导致的.共振俄歇峰主要源于高结合能(4.1 eV)分子轨道能级电子参与的退激发过程.明确RPES实验谱图中各个峰结构的起源有助于准确利用基于RPES的芯能级空穴时钟谱技术定量估算有机分子/电极异质界面处电子从分子未占据轨道到电极导带的超快转移时间.     

Investigation of Rhodamine 6G in oleic acid solution fluorescence under high pressure

Interesting behavior has been observed in the absorption spectra of the solution of Rhodamine 6G [C₂₈H₃₁N₂O₃Cl] in oleic acid [C₁₈H₃₄O₂] [K. Wieja et al., Pressure-induced changes in electronic absorption spectrum in oleic acid, High Press. Res. 30 (2010), pp. 130–134]. Application of high pressures to the solution has caused the reshaping of the absorption spectra curve, and the maximum of absorption has been shifted towards the longer wavelength. One of the most possible explanations of the changes in the absorption spectra is the formation of charge-transfer complexes in the solution. Pressure-induced changes of the VIS absorption spectrum in the mixture of Rhodamine 6G and oleic acid have been observed in comparison with the absorption spectrum of the mixture of Rhodamine 6G in ethanol. Moreover, changes have been observed in the fluorescence spectrum of the examined mixture, which indicated a fluorescent electronic band of a CT complex.     

Dispersion theory and the low-energy constants for neutral-pion photoproduction

The relativistic amplitudes of pion photoproduction are evaluated by dispersion relations at t = const. The imaginary parts of the amplitudes are taken from the MAID model covering the absorption spectrum up to center-of-mass energies W = 2.2GeV. For sub-threshold kinematics the amplitudes are expanded in powers of the two independent variables ν and t related to energy and momentum transfer. Subtracting the loop corrections from this power series allows one to determine the counter terms of covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The proposed continuation of the amplitudes into the unphysical region provides a unique framework to derive the low-energy constants to any given order as well as an estimate of the higher-order terms by global properties of the absorption spectrum.     

超二代像增强器多碱阴极光电发射特性研究

通过测量超二代像增强器多碱阴极的光谱反射率和透射率,根据能量守恒定律计算得到了多碱阴极的光谱吸收率.结果表明,只有当光子的能量大于1.333 eV以后,多碱阴极的吸收率才开始快速增大.这说明多碱阴极的光谱吸收存在一个1.333 eV的长波吸收限,入射光的光子能量如果小于该吸收限,多碱阴极将不吸收.在多碱阴极的表面电子亲合势进一步降低的情况下,多碱阴极光电发射的长波理论阈值由长波吸收限所决定.多碱阴极在吸收光子之后的电子跃迁过程中,跃迁电子的能量增加小于所吸收入射光子的能量,即存在一个"能量损失".光子的能量越高,所激发的跃迁电子所处的能级越高,能量损失越大.同时光子的能量越高,跃迁电子所处的能级越高,电子跃迁的几率越低.多碱阴极的量子效率由吸收率、跃迁几率和跃迁能级、扩散过程中的能量损失等因素共同决定,因此多碱阴极的量子效率存在长波阈的同时也存在短波阈.多碱阴极的量子效率在2.11 eV达到最大值之后,随着光子能量的增加而单调减小,在3.6 eV时,量子效率减小到零.多碱阴极在3.6 eV时的吸收系数仍然很高,但由于电子跃迁的几率低,同时电子扩散过程中的能量损失大,导致尽管多碱阴极对短波具有较高的吸收系数,但量子效率仍然较低.因此对多碱阴极所吸收的光子能量中,转换成为光电导、晶格热振动等其他非光电发射形式能量的比例而言,短波较长波高,对光电发射的贡献率而言,短波较长波低.     

硅的间接跃迁双光子吸收系数谱

利用皮秒Nd:YAG脉冲激光器作为激发光源,测量出光子能量介于1.36 μm (0.912 eV)—1.80 μm (0.689 eV)之间的硅间接跃迁双光子吸收系数谱.尽管此波段范围内的激光光子能量小于硅间接带隙,但当激光辐照在硅基光电二极管受光面时,在二极管两电极端仍然探测到了显著的脉冲光伏信号.光伏信号峰值强度与入射光强呈二次幂函数关系,表明其是双光子吸收过程.采用pn结等效结电容充放电模型,将光伏响应信号峰值与入射光强相关联,从中提取出硅的间接跃迁双光子吸收系数,改变入射波长得到系数谱.研究表明:

Zweiquantenabsorption bei freien Exzitonen in Zinkoxid

The two photon absorption spectrum at the intrinsic absorption edge of ZnO is measured with various directions and modes of polarization of the incident light beams. Several peaks are observed, corresponding to the 2P _0,±1-exciton states of the 3 seriesA, B, C (which occur on account of the threefold upper valence band). The anisotropy of the product of reduced effective mass times dielectric constant determined from the line positions is compatible with theoretical predictions. The lack ofS-exciton states in the two quantum absorption spectrum of ZnO is discussed in detail.
