The intermediate regime of light diffraction on acoustophotorefractive holographic gratings written in cubic photorefractive crystals according to the synchronous-detection mechanism is studied. It is shown that the diffraction efficiency in sillenite-type gyrotropic crystals only slightly depends on the incident light polarization and the external electric field. The highest diffraction efficiency in nongyrotropic crystals was achieved for p-polarized writing and reading light and at a considerable external electric field strength.  相似文献

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is an effective technique that can sterilize bacteria and viruses by UV light. Far UVC lamps of short wavelengths can prevent infectious diseases because they sterilize while minimizing cell damage in mammals. Here, E. coli inactivation by far UVC light with peak wavelength of 230 nm made of carbon nanotube (CNT) emitters and sapphire anode was studied. The κ-Al2O3 phase of sapphire with a direct band gap of 5.4 eV was excited with CNT-based cold cathode electron beam (C-beam) to generate far UVC light. It was confirmed that the inactivation of E. coli by far UVC light based on the C-beam was reduced by 5 log reduction within 60 s.  相似文献

Electron beam writing of regular domain structures in Z-cuts 0.75 mm thick of stoichiometric and close to stoichiometric LiNbO3 crystals has been carried out. Crystals have been grown by the Czochralski method from a melt with excess Li2O (58.6 mol %) and from a congruent-composition melt in the presence of 6 wt % K2O alkali solvent (flux). In both crystals, threshold charge doses required to form individual domains have been determined, and the optimal conditions of periodic structure patterning by sequential local irradiations have been found. Domain gratings of similar type (with periods of 6.5, 7, and 10 ??m) are formed in both types of stoichiometric crystals.  相似文献

A mathematical model of induced mutations in Escherichia coli bacterial cells upon ultraviolet irradiation is developed. The concentration dynamics of inducible protein complexes synthesized in the course of the SOS response of E. coli is described. The mutation induction at translesion synthesis is studied. The solutions to the model are based on experimental data concerning the expression of the main genes of the SOS system of E. coli bacteria.  相似文献

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film is one of the most widely used as transparent conductive electrodes in all forms of flat panel display (FPD) and microelectronic devices. Suspension of already crystalline conductive ITO nanoparticles fully dispersed in alcohol was spun, after modifying with coupling agent, on glass substrates. The low cost, simple and versatile traditional photolithography process without complication of the photoresist layer was used for patterning ITO films. Using of UV light irradiation through mask and direct UV laser beam writing resulted in an accurate linear, sharp edge and very smooth patterns. Irradiated ITO film showed a high transparency (∼85%) in the visible region. The electrical sheet resistance decrease with increasing time of exposure to UV light and UV laser. Only 5 min UV light irradiation is enough to decrease the electrical sheet resistance down to 5 kΩ□.  相似文献

Magnetic immuno‐nanorice particles were used for the capture and detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. The selectivity of the method was attained by attaching a specific anti‐E. coli antibody on the surface of the nanorice, binding exclusively to E. coli. The antibody attachment to the nanorice (60% sorption efficiency) took place through protein‐A molecules (82% uptake). Once E. coli was captured, the immuno‐nanorice‐bacteria complex was separated from the solution using the magnetic property of the nanorice. The detection of bacteria sorbed onto the immuno‐nanorice was accomplished using the ultra‐violet resonance Raman (UVRR) method, detecting single bacterial cells. Specific information concerning the aromatic residues tyrosine (Tyr), phenylalanine (Phe) and tryptophan (Trp) was derived. The discriminant function and cluster hierarchical analysis confirmed the specific and reliable bacteria‐detection capabilities. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

We report on electro-optic measurements of THz electric fields in the near-field of metal structures lying on GaP electro-optic sampling crystals. With (110) oriented crystals, the x or y component of the THz electric field is measured, whereas with a (001) oriented crystal, the z-component is measured. With an estimated spatial resolution of 20 μm, the technique allows us to map the field on a scale, orders of magnitude smaller than the spatial dimensions of these structures. We illustrate the technique by showing results of measurements of the THz electric field in a plane underneath a metal sphere and a single square hole in a metal foil. The technique provides us with a wealth of information on the time-evolution of light fields near metal structures. To cite this article: A.J.L. Adam et al., C. R. Physique 9 (2008).  相似文献

We have synthesized ZnO nanocrystals, such as nanowires, nanorods, and nanosheets, using a nanoparticle-assisted pulsed laser deposition (NAPLD) method. Recently, we achieved position-controlled growth of the ZnO nanocrystals by means of a ZnO buffer layer and laser irradiation without any catalyst. The periodic structure was formed on the ZnO buffer layer by multi-beam interference patterning, and then vertically aligned ZnO nanowalls, corresponding to the patterning, were grown on the buffer layer. It was found that the periodic ZnO nanowalls grew along the c-axis direction by X-ray diffraction measurement. The well-aligned ZnO nanowalls are expected to be utilized as building blocks for field emitters and UV LEDs. The proposed technique can be used as one of the effective methods to control the growth position of the ZnO nanocrystals because various structures can be easily fabricated by a laser writing and a spatial light modulator.  相似文献

The photovoltaic and diffusion fields in nominally pure single crystals of stoichiometric composition (R = Li/Nb = 1) grown from the melt with 58.6 mol % of Li2O (LiNbO3 stoich), in the nominally pure single crystals of congruent composition (LiNbO3), and in congruent single crystals doped with Cu2+, Zn2+, and Gd3+ are found from the parameters of the photoinduced light scattering indicatrix obtained with the use of a 60-mW He-Ne laser.  相似文献

New neutron-optics effects, which were predicted and discovered quite recently in noncentrosymmetric crystals and which can be used to study the fundamental properties of the neutron, are discussed. In particular, strong electric fields of strength up to 108 or 109 V/cm may act in such crystals on the neutron, and this provides new possibilities for measuring the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) by the crystal-diffraction method. It also becomes possible to perform searches for pseudomagnetic forces acting on neutrons and violating CP invariance. For the range of such forces that satisfies the condition λ A < 10?5 cm, the best constraints on the product of the scalar and pseudoscalar coupling constants have already been obtained for the interaction induced by the exchange of a light pseudoscalar (axion-like) particle. The present-day status and prospects of neutron-optics crystal-diffraction experiments aimed at searches for the neutron EDM and pseudomagnetic forces are considered.  相似文献

The model of tunable superparamagnetic photonic crystals self-assembled in colloidal magnetic fluids under externally applied magnetic fields is established. The mechanisms, which are in charge of the tunability of the band gaps with magnetic fields are clarified. The band structures of the triangularly-arrayed two-dimensional photonic crystals with limited heights of magnetic columns are calculated with the experimental data of structures and refractive indices in the literatures. The field-dependent properties of the first band gaps are gained for the z-odd and z-even modes, respectively. Simulation results indicate that the mid frequencies of the first band gaps of the z-odd modes can be easily tuned by the external magnetic fields, while those of the z-even modes bear relatively weak dependence on the external magnetic fields. Simultaneously, the first band gaps of both kinds of modes become wide along with the increase of the magnetic fields. The results presented in this work give a guideline for realizing the tunable photonic crystals with magnetically colloidal materials and magnetic stimuli.  相似文献

The results of the measurements are presented of the relative efficiency ε for 252Cf fast neutron detection by composite detectors based on stilbene crystalline grains. The effects of the grain size and height of the composite detector on its scintillation properties were studied. It is shown that the efficiency of fast neutron detection of stilbene composite scintillators ranges up to 60% of that of bulk single crystals. The results are also presented for relative light output measurements of stilbene composite detectors irradiated by gamma photons of 137Cs, as well as transmittance data of samples in the range of their transparency absorption.  相似文献

The operating conditions of X-Ray sources based on LiNbO3 crystals are investigated during heating-cooling cycles. It is demonstrated that the radiation intensity is unstable. The radiation is accompanied by electrical breakdowns in the Z plane of the crystals and emission of photon packets not described by the Poisson distribution. Visualization of the electron beam through the grid electrode by a luminescent screen showed that the electron beam is not uniform in the Z-plane of the crystal and greatly changes with temperature. It is found that, under definite conditions, the numerous redistributions of the intense emission zones occurred between different areas at Z-surface of the crystal. Possible reasons for the observed effects are examined. The obtained data are important for creating pyroelectric X-ray and neutron sources presuming the usage of strong electric fields whose strength reaches 105 V/cm.  相似文献

A practical approach to a well-known technique of laser micro/nano-patterning by optical near fields is presented. It is based on surface patterning by scanning a Gaussian laser beam through a self-assembled monolayer of silica micro-spheres on a single-crystalline silicon (Si) substrate. So far, the outcome of this kind of near-field patterning has been related to the simultaneous, parallel surface-structuring of large areas either by top hat or Gaussian laser intensity distributions. We attempt to explore the possibility of using the same technique in order to produce single, direct writing of features. This could be of advantage for applications in which only some areas need to be patterned (i.e. local area selective patterning) or single lines are required (e.g. a particular micro/nano-fluidic channel). A diode pumped Nd:YVO4 laser system (wavelength of 532 nm, pulse duration of 8 ns, repetition rate of 30 kHz) with a computer-controlled 3 axis galvanometer beam scanner was employed to write user-defined patterns through the particle lens array on the Si substrate. After laser irradiation, the obtained patterns which are in the micro-scale were composed of sub-micro/micro-holes or bumps. The micro-pattern resolution depends on the dimension of both the micro-sphere’s diameter and the beam’s spot size. The developed technique could potentially be employed to fabricate photonic crystal structures mimicking nature’s butterfly wings and anti-reflective “moth eye” arrays for photovoltaic cells.  相似文献

We show that photovoltaic fields are capable of efficiently reorienting liquid crystals, leading to new concepts of optically addressable light modulators. Using an arrangement consisting of a liquid-crystal layer between LiNbO3:Fe photovoltaic substrates, we observed spatial filtering due to self-phase modulation in a planar-oriented cell and nonlinear transmission between crossed polarizers in a twist-oriented cell. These processes do not require an external electric field. The substrates are arranged such that light propagates along the +c axis in each substrate, allowing a secondary process of power transfer to occur through contradirectional photorefractive two-beam coupling.  相似文献

Pineapple leaf was used in this study for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles based on the search for sustainable synthetic means. Indeed, this offered an economical and sustainable synthetic route relative to expensive and toxic chemical methods. The leaf extract was used and the corresponding nanoparticles obtained were subjected to UV–vis analysis at different times. The UV–vis was used to monitor the silver nanoparticle formation through sampling at time intervals. The formation of silver nanoparticles was apparently displayed within 2 min with evidence of surface plasmon bands (SPB) between 440 and 460 nm. The crystals was equally characterized using FTIR, X-ray diffraction methods and TEM. The different results obtained suggested the appearance of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) as determined by the process parameters with a particle size of 12.4 nm. The sample was further screened against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli using Gentamicin as control. From the results, there is evidence of inhibition towards bacteria growth. It can now be inferred from the studies that biosynthesis of nanoparticles could be a gateway to our numerous health issues.  相似文献

Careful observation of the diamagnetic shielding signal in small fields applied along the a-axis of deuterated (TMTSF)2ClO4 crystals reveal a systematic dependence of the diamagnetic susceptibility on the thickness (b- and c-dimensions) of the crystals, which we explain by a macroscopically large value of 0.004 cm for the London penetration depth.  相似文献

The action of intense laser pulses (λ = 0.53 μm) on E.coli cells is considered (the cells are transparent in this range). The transformation of laser radiation into UV light due to the high-harmonics generation on the protein molecules (the dipole moment is 100–1000 D) leads to the appearance of thymine dimers in bacterial DNA and results in a lethal effect for strains of E.coli which are highly sensitive to UV radiation.  相似文献

In sufficient concentrations, the pathogenic bacteria L. pneumophila can cause a respiratory illness that is known as the “Legionnaires” disease. Moreover, toxic Shiga strains of bacteria E. coli can cause life-threatening hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Because of the recent restrictions imposed on the usage of chlorine, outbreaks of these two bacterial species have become more common. In this study we have developed a novel rotation generator and its effectiveness against bacteria Legionella pneumophila and Escherichia coli was tested for various types of hydrodynamic cavitation (attached steady cavitation, developed unsteady cavitation and supercavitation). The results show that the supercavitation was the only effective form of cavitation. It enabled more than 3 logs reductions for both bacterial species and was also effective against a more persistent Gram positive bacteria, B. subtilis. The deactivation mechanism is at present unknown. It is proposed that when bacterial cells enter a supercavitation cavity, an immediate pressure drop occurs and this results in bursting of the cellular membrane. The new rotation generator that induced supercavitation proved to be economically and microbiologically far more effective than the classical Venturi section (super)cavitation.  相似文献

In the experiments, multifunctional nanocomposites with fluorescence, superparamagnetism, and bioactivity were synthesized to isolate and detect bacteria. Fluorescent-magnetic nanocomposites (FMNPs) (Fe3O4@SiO2@FITC–SiO2, core/shell) were first synthesized. Then, FMNPs were conjugated with N-hydroxysuccinimide-activated 4-oxo-4-(prop-2-ynyloxy) butanoic acid (NHS-activated ester) by the linker of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and alkyne-functionalized fluorescent-magnetic nanocomposites (FMNPs-alkyne) were produced. After 3′-azidopropyl-O-α-d-manno-pyranoside was grafted on the surface of FMNPs-alkyne by click chemistry, the final product—mannose derivatives-grafted fluorescent-magnetic nanocomposites (FMNPs-mannose) were obtained. Common techniques (Nuclear magnetic resonance, ESI mass spectra, etc.) indicated the successful synthesis of the target products. The results of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering showed that FMNPs with one or more magnetic cores have regular structure with a diameter around 100 nm. Fluorescence spectra and fluorescence microscopy indicated that those nanocomposites exhibited strong and stable fluorescence property. FMNPs-mannose have a saturation magnization of 6.88 emu/g at room temperature. FMNPs-mannose were applied to adhere to Escherichia coli ATCC25722 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538. The results showed that FMNPs-mannose were able to specifically adhere to E. coli ATCC25722. However, it had no effect with S. aureus ATCC6538. The obtained FMNPs-mannose will find its application in bacteria detection and separation.  相似文献
