Structural deformation of nitro group of nitromethane molecule in liquid phase in an intense femtosecond laser field

The structural deformation of NO_2 group induced by an intense femtosecond laser field of liquid nitromethane(NM)molecule is detected by time-and frequency-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy(CARS) technique with the intense pump laser. Here, we present the mechanism of molecular alignment and deformation. The CARS spectra and its FFT spectra of liquid NM show that the NO_2 torsional mode couples with the CN symmetric stretching mode and that the NO_2 group undergoes ultrafast structural deformation with a relaxation time of 195 fs. The frequency of the NO_2 torsional mode in liquid NM(50.8±0.3 cm~(-1)) at room temperature is found. Our results prove the structural deformation of two groups in liquid NM molecule occur simultaneously in the intense laser field.     

超短脉冲激光烧蚀石墨产生的喷射物的时间分辨发射光谱研究

本文使用不同激光能流(18 J/cm²–115 J/cm²)和脉冲宽度(50 fs–4 ps)的超短脉冲激光在真空中(4×10^-4 Pa)烧蚀高定向热解石墨. 通过测量烧蚀喷射物的时间分辨发射光谱研究喷射物的超快时间演化. 在喷射物发射光谱中, 观察到了C₂基团的天鹅带光谱系统, 416 nm附近C₁₅基团的由电子能级¹Σ_u⁺ 和¹Σ_g⁺之间的振动跃迁产生的光谱峰以及连续谱. 50 fs, 115 J/cm²的脉冲激光烧蚀产生的喷射物的连续谱的强度衰减分为快速下降和慢速下降两个阶段(以20 ns时间延迟为分界). 这表明连续谱是由两种不同的组分贡献的. 快速下降阶段, 连续谱主要由碳等离子体通过韧致辐射产生; 慢速下降阶段, 连续谱主要由烧蚀后期产生的大颗粒碳簇的热辐射贡献. 实验结果还揭示了激光能流的提高, 会明显增加喷射物中碳等离子体和激发态C₂的含量, 但对质量稍大的C₁₅的影响较小; 此外, 50 fs脉冲激光烧蚀产生的连续谱的存在时间会随着激光能流的减小而增大, 这说明低能流更有利于在烧蚀后期产生碳簇. 脉宽主要影响喷射物连续谱的时间演化. 4 ps脉冲激光烧蚀产生的连续谱的整个时间演化过程明显慢于50 fs脉冲产生的连续谱.     

Surface damage threshold and structuring of dielectrics using femtosecond laser pulses: the role of incubation

We present results on the surface damage threshold of a-SiO₂ and YLF after single and multiple laser pulse irradiation at a pulse duration of 100 fs and radiation wavelength of 800 nm. The surface damage threshold drops dramatically after the first laser shots until reaching an almost constant level. The threshold reduction at low shot numbers is attributed to laser induced defect formation. This has important consequences for applications, such as laser machining and the lifetime of optical components. As an example of relevance to applications, we discuss the generation of high quality micro pockets in a-SiO₂ and YLF.     

Laser-induced phase conversion of n-type SnSe2 to p-type SnSe

We report a facile phase conversion method that can locally convert n-type SnSe₂ into p-type SnSe by direct laser irradiation. Raman spectra of SnSe₂ flakes before and after laser irradiation confirm the phase conversion of SnSe₂ to SnSe. By performing the laser irradiation on SnSe₂ flakes at different temperatures, it is found that laser heating effect induces the removal of Se atoms from SnSe₂ and results in the phase conversion of SnSe₂ to SnSe. Lattice-revolved transmission electron microscope images of SnSe₂ flakes before and after laser irradiation further confirm such conversion. By selective laser irradiation on SnSe₂ flakes, a pattern with SnSe₂/SnSe heteostructures is created. This indicates that the laser induced phase conversion technique has relatively high spatial resolution and enables the creation of micron-sized in-plane p-n junction at predefined region.     

Induction of superconductivity in pulsed laser ablated La2CuO4 thin films by post-deposition fluorination

Pulsed laser ablation has been used to fabricate La₂CuO₄ thin films. Superconducting properties have been successfully induced in the films by an ex-situ, post-ablation annealing process in F₂ gas resulting in a T_c (onset) of 36 K. The presence of two slightly different c-axis expanded phases in the X-ray diffraction data of the fluorinated films implies a degree of inhomogeneity in F₂ uptake. Critical current densities (J_c) and the irreversibility line have been established from hysteresis cycles. A J_c of 10⁶ A cm⁻² for a typical film was observed at 10 K in zero field.

Intrinsic luminescence centers in γ- and θ-alumina nanoparticles

In this study, we investigate the photoluminescence(PL) properties of γ and θ-alumina nanoparticles synthesized by the chemical wet method followed by annealing. The obtained experimental results indicate the presence of some favorable near ultraviolet(NUV)-orange luminescent centers for usage in various luminescence applications, such as oxygen vacancies(F, F~+_2, F~(2+)_2, and F_2centers), OH related defects, cation interstitial centers, and some new luminescence bands attributed to trapped-hole centers or donor–acceptor centers. The energy states of each defect are discussed in detail. The defects mentioned could alter the electronic structure by producing some energy states in the band gap that result in the optical absorption in the middle ultraviolet(MUV) region. Spectra show that photoionazation of F and F_2 centers plays a crucial role in providing either free electrons for the conduction band, or the photoconversions of aggregated oxygen vacancies into each other, or mobile electrons for electrons-holes recombination process by the Shockley–Read–Hall(SRH)mechanism.     

Theoretical and experimental study of KrF fluorescence in amultimicrosecond longitudinal discharge

Multimicrosecond KrF (B→X) fluorescence characteristics were measured using KrF laser mixtures pumped by a low-pressure longitudinal stable discharge to make clear the mechanism of the premature termination of the KrF laser. Using the experimental setup with a seven-stage pulse-forming network (PFN), a KrF fluorescence pulse with a pulse duration of 2.0 μs was obtained at a total pressure of 75 torr, whose gas mixture was F₂/Kr/He=0.1/7.5/92.4(%). The pulse width (FWHM) of KrF fluorescence was decreased from 1400 ns to 500 ns with increasing F₂ concentration from 0.1 to 1.5%. The theoretical analysis made it clear that this termination mechanism was strongly due to the KrF fluorescence kinetics

Photothermal imaging by F–Z2 colour centre conversion in KCl doped with gadolinium

A new scheme for photonic information storage based on photothermal F to Z₂ colour centre conversion is presented. Z₂ centres are formed by F-band bleaching in the temperature range 300 to 500 K in additively coloured crystals of KCl doped with gadolinium. The variation of the optical density in the F-band is studied as a function of the logarithm of exposure in order to obtain the Hurter-Driffield characteristics of the storage medium. The ideal parameters of storage are arrived at and the writing sensitivity of the medium for the proposed process is determined. Photonic information storage using a helium-neon laser is demonstrated and the results are compared with other reported schemes.     

The relationship among voice onset, voice quality, and fundamental frequency: a dynamical perspective

In dynamical motor theory, skill acquisition occurs as a modification of preexisting coordination patterns or attractor states. The purpose of this study was to assess how different levels of voice onset, voice quality, and fundamental frequency (F₀) combine to form the attractor states common to voice motor control. Three levels of voice onset (glottal, simultaneous, and breathy), voice quality (modal speech, mixed, and falsetto), and fundamental frequency (low, mid, and high) were manipulated by vocally untrained, female subjects. Percent correct of acquisition trials and self-report of effort were used as measures of stable phonations indicative of an attractor state. Using intensity as a covariate, the results provided support for two of the three predicted triads representing attractor states in female speakers: (1) glottal onset/modal speech quality/low F₀; and (2) breathy onset/falsetto quality/high F₀. The results of this study suggest that certain parameters of voice motor control, such as onset, quality, and F₀, exist as part of a dynamical system that can be identified and manipulated in voice motor acquisition and learning.

Calculation of the Gluon Distribution Function Using Alternative Method for the Proton Structure Function

A calculation of the proton structure function F2(x,Q^2) is reported with an approximation method that relates the reduced cross section derivative and the F2(x, Q^2) scaling violation at low x by using quadratic form for the structure function. This quadratic form approximation method can be used to determine the structure function F2 (x, Q^2) from the HERA reduced cross section data taken at low x. This new approach can determine the structure functions F2(x,Q^2) with reasonable precision even for low x values which have not been investigated. We observe that the Q^2 dependence is quadratic over the full kinematic covered range. To test the validity of our new determined structure functions, we find the gluon distribution function in the leading order approximation with our new calculation for the structure functions and compare them with the QCD parton distribution functions.     

Bandwidth expansion and pulse shape optimized for 10 PW laser design via spectral shaping

We demonstrated a scheme of bandwidth expansion and pulse shape optimized to afford 10 PW laser design via spectral shaping, which uses the existing Nd:glass amplifier chain of the SG PW laser. Compared to the amplified pulse with a gain-narrowing effect, the required parameters of injected pulse energy, spectral bandwidth, and shape are analyzed, together with their influence on the system B-integral, energy output capability, and temporal intensity contrast. A bandwidth expansion to 7 nm by using LiNbO₃ birefringent spectral shaping resulted in an output energy of 2 kJ in a proof-of-principle experiment. The results are consistent with the theoretical prediction which suggests that the amplifier chain of SG PW laser is capable of achieving 6 kJ at the bandwidth of 7 nm and the B-integral < π . This will support a 10 PW laser with a compressed pulse energy of 4.8 kJ (efficiency=80%) at 480 fs.     

Calculations of the Spin-Lattice Coupling Coefficients Fij and Zij for MgO:Co2+ Crystal

According to a uniform and simple method of calculating spin-lattice coupling coefficients and the perturbation formulas of g_i factors and hyperfine structure constants A_i based on the cluster approach for 3d⁷ ions in cubic, tetragonal and trigonal octahedral crystal fields, the spin-lattice coupling coefficients F_ij (F₁₁, F₁₂, F₄₄), Z_ij (Z₁₁, Z₁₂, Z₄₄) and also g factor and hyperfine constant A for MgO:Co²⁺ are calculated by using the parameters obtained from the optical spectra without adjustable parameters. The calculated results show good agreement with the observed values. The difficulty in explaining the coefficients F_ij and Z_ij is therefore removed.
