The interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with solid state targets is studied concerning the production of short X-ray pulses
with photon energies up to about 10 keV. The influence of various parameters such as pulse energy, repetition rate of the
laser system, focusing conditions, the application of prepulses, and the chirp of the laser pulses on the efficiency of this
highly nonlinear process is examined. In order to increase the X-ray flux, the laser pulse energy is increased by a 2nd multipass
amplifier from 750 μJ to 5 mJ. By applying up to 4 mJ of the pulse energy a X-ray flux of 4×1010 Fe K
α
photons/s or 2.75×1010 Cu K
α
photons/s are generated. The energy conversion efficiency is therefore calculated to η
Fe≈1.4×10−5 and η
Cu≈1.0×10−5. The X-ray source size is determined to 15×25 μm2. By focusing the produced X-rays using a toroidally bent crystal a quasi-monochromatic X-ray point source with a diameter
of 56 μm×70μm is produced containing ≈104 Fe K
α1 photons/s which permits the investigation of lattice dynamics on a picosecond or even sub-picosecond time scale. The lattice
movement of a GaAs(111) crystal is shown as a typical application. 相似文献

x-ray production with a high energy (110 mJ per pulse at 800 nm before compression/15 mJ at 400 nm after compression), high
repetition rate (100 Hz), and high pulse contrast (better than 10−9 at 400 nm) laser system. To develop laser-based x-ray sources for biomedical imaging requires to use high-energy and high-power
ultrafast laser system where compression is achieved under vacuum. Using this type of laser system, we demonstrate long-term
stability of the x-ray yield, conversion efficiency higher than 1.5×10−5 with a Mo target, and the x-ray spot size close to the optical focal spot. This high-repetition K

x-ray source can be very useful for x-ray phase-contrast imaging.

In order to investigate the effect of pulse width and solvent on the nonlinear properties of metal nanostructures, silver
nanowires were fabricated in a direct current electric field (DCEF) using a solid-state ionic method and characterized by
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The nonlinear refractive index (γ) of silver nanowires suspended in ethanol was measured using the Z-scan technique and laser radiation of various (femto-,
pico-, and nanosecond) pulse durations. Experimental results indicated that silver nanowires have obvious positive refractive
nonlinearities and γ (the Kerr-induced self-focusing) increases as the pulse duration increases from 7.4×10−8 cm2/GW at 110 fs to 1.6×10−4 cm2/GW at 8 ns, due to the additional influence of the atomic reorientational Kerr effect in the case of longer pulses. Due to
the solvent dependence of the nonlinear behavior of the silver nanowires, the nonlinear absorption and refraction of silver
nanowires suspended in de-ionized water are smaller than those of silver samples suspended in ethanol. The thermal nonlinearities
are insignificant in our experimental conditions. 相似文献

5/2 clock transition of the 88Sr+ optical frequency standard. The performance of the laser system is investigated with studies of its frequency drift rates
and with high resolution spectra of the 88Sr+ clock transition. The observed short-term drift rates are typically in the range of 10 to 23 mHz/s, and the current long-term
drift rate is 13.9(3) mHz/s. The laser stability, after subtraction of linear drifts, reaches 5×10−16 at an averaging time of 3000 s. This high level of stability is attributed for the most part to stabilization of the reference
cavity at the temperature where the coefficient of linear thermal expansion crosses zero. An upper bound for the laser linewidth
is given by the observation of a Fourier-transform limited resonance of 4.3 Hz (Δν/ν=1×10−14) on the 88Sr+ clock transition. The effective averaging time during the linewidth measurements was about 100 s. 相似文献

X-ray diffraction on a langatate crystal (La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14, LGT) modulated by a Λ=12 μm Rayleigh surface acoustic wave (SAW) was studied in a double axis X-ray diffractometer scheme at the BESSY synchrotron
radiation source. SAW propagation in the crystal causes sinusoidal modulation of the crystal lattice and the appearance of
diffraction satellites on the rocking curves, with their number, angular positions, and intensities depending on the wavelength
and amplitude of acoustic vibrations of the crystal lattice. Strong absorption of X-ray radiation in LGT enables the observation
of the diffraction spectra extinction at certain SAW amplitudes. X-ray diffraction spectra analysis makes it possible to determine
SAW amplitudes and wavelengths, to measure the power flow angles, and investigate the diffraction divergence in acoustic beam
in LGT. 相似文献

In this paper we develop an approach to soft scattering processes at high energies which is based on two elements: the Good–Walker
mechanism for low mass diffraction and multi-pomeron interactions for high mass diffraction. The principal idea, which allows
us to specify the theory for pomeron interactions, is that the so called soft processes occur at rather short distances (r
2
∝1/〈p
t
〉2
∝
α′ℙ≈0.01 GeV−2), where perturbative QCD is valid. The value of the pomeron slope α′ℙ is obtained from a fit to the experimental data. Using this theoretical approach, we suggest a model that fits all soft data
in the ISR-Tevatron energy range: total, elastic, single and double diffractive cross sections, as well as the t dependence of the differential elastic cross section, and the mass dependence of single diffraction. In this model we calculate
the survival probability of diffractive Higgs production, and we obtain a value for this observable that is smaller than 1%
at the LHC energy range. 相似文献

In this paper, a single crystal of 0.96Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.04BaTiO3 with dimensions of Φ 30×10 mm was grown by the top-seeded-solution growth method. X-ray powder diffraction results show that the as-grown crystal
possesses the rhombohedral perovskite-type structure. The dielectric, piezoelectric and electrical conductivity properties
were systematically investigated with 〈001〉, 〈110〉 and 〈111〉 oriented crystal samples. The room-temperature dielectric constants
for the 〈001〉, 〈110〉 and 〈111〉 oriented crystal samples are found to be 650, 740 and 400 at 1 kHz. The (T
m, ε
m) values of the dielectric temperature spectra are almost independent of the crystal orientations; they are (306°C, 3718),
(305°C, 3613) and (307°C, 3600) at 1 kHz for the 〈001〉, 〈110〉 and 〈111〉 oriented crystal. The optimum poling conditions were
obtained by investigating the piezoelectric constants d
33 as a function of poling temperature and poling electric field. For the 〈001〉 and 〈110〉 crystal samples, the maximum d
33 values of 146 and 117 pC/N are obtained when a poling electric field of 3.5 kV/mm and a poling temperature of 80°C were applied
during the poling process. The as-grown 0.96Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.04BaTiO3 crystal possesses a relatively large dc electrical conductivity, especially at higher temperature, having a value of 1.98×10−11 Ω−1⋅m−1 and 3.95×10−9 Ω−1⋅m−1 at 25°C and 150°C for the 〈001〉 oriented crystal sample. 相似文献

The NA60 experiment at the CERN SPS has measured muon pairs with unprecedented precision in 158 A GeV In–In collisions. A strong excess of pairs above the known sources is observed in the whole mass region 0.2<M<2.6 GeV. The mass spectrum for M<1 GeV is consistent with a dominant contribution from π

μ
− annihilation. The associated ρ spectral function shows a strong broadening, but essentially no shift in mass. For M>1 GeV, the excess is found to be prompt, not due to enhanced charm production, with pronounced differences to Drell–Yan pairs.
The slope parameter T
eff associated with the transverse momentum spectra rises with mass up to the ρ, followed by a sudden decline above. The rise for M<1 GeV is consistent with radial flow of a hadronic emission source. The seeming absence of significant flow for M>1 GeV and its relation to parton–hadron duality is discussed in detail, suggesting a dominantly partonic emission source
in this region. A comparison of the data to the present status of theoretical modeling is also contained. The accumulated
empirical evidence, including also a Planck-like shape of the mass spectra at low p
T
and the lack of polarization, is consistent with a global interpretation of the excess dimuons as thermal radiation. We conclude
with first results on ω in-medium effects. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline ZnO thin films have been deposited on rhenium and tungsten pointed and flat substrates by pulsed laser deposition
method. An emission current of 1 nA with an onset voltage of 120 V was observed repeatedly and maximum current density ∼1.3 A/cm2 and 9.3 mA/cm2 has been drawn from ZnO/Re and ZnO/W pointed emitters at an applied voltage of 12.8 and 14 kV, respectively. In case of planar
emitters (ZnO deposited on flat substrates), the onset field required to draw 1 nA emission current is observed to be 0.87
and 1.2 V/μm for ZnO/Re and ZnO/W planar emitters, respectively. The Fowler–Nordheim plots of both the emitters show nonlinear
behaviour, typical for a semiconducting field emitter. The field enhancement factor β is estimated to be ∼2.15×105 cm−1 and 2.16×105 cm−1 for pointed and 3.2×104 and 1.74×104 for planar ZnO/Re and ZnO/W emitters, respectively. The high value of β factor suggests that the emission is from the nanometric features of the emitter surface. The emission current–time plots
exhibit good stability of emission current over a period of more than three hours. The post field emission surface morphology
studies show no significant deterioration of the emitter surface indicating that the ZnO thin film has a very strong adherence
to both the substrates and exhibits a remarkable structural stability against high-field-induced mechanical stresses and ion
bombardment. The results reveal that PLD offers unprecedented advantages in fabricating the ZnO field emitters for practical
applications in field-emission-based electron sources. 相似文献

We demonstrate two different sources at 1.3 THz based on multiplier chains (72nd harmonic generation), which exhibit linewidths
at the level of 2×10−12 in relative units. The multiplication processes are shown not to contribute significantly to this linewidth. The phase noise
of one of the sources and the fractional power in the carrier (76%) were determined. The application of these sources as references
for quantum cascade THz lasers and for spectroscopy of ultracold molecules is suggested. Thus, rotational spectroscopy with
few Hz resolution at 1.3 THz is possible with the present easy-to-use sources. An approach for reducing the linewidth by a
factor on the order of 103 to the 1×10−15 level using optical technology is proposed. 相似文献

Present p-type ZnO films tend to exhibit high resistivity and low carrier concentration, and they revert to their natural n-type state
within days after deposition. One approach to grow higher quality p-type ZnO is by codoping the ZnO during growth. This article describes recent results from the growth and characterization
of Zr–N codoped p-type ZnO thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (0001) sapphire substrates. For this work, both N-doped and Zr–N
codoped p-type ZnO films were grown for comparison purposes at substrate temperatures ranging between 400 to 700 °C and N2O background pressures between 10−5 to 10−2 Torr. The carrier type and conduction were found to be very sensitive to substrate temperature and N2O deposition pressure. P-type conduction was observed for films grown at pressures between 10−3 to 10−2 Torr. The Zr–N codoped ZnO films grown at 550 °C in 1×10−3 Torr of N2O show p-type conduction behavior with a very low resistivity of 0.89 Ω-cm, a carrier concentration of 5.0×1018 cm−3, and a Hall mobility of 1.4 cm2 V−1 s−1. The structure, morphology and optical properties were also evaluated for both N-doped and Zr–N codoped ZnO films. 相似文献

Amorphous carbon thin films were deposited by laser ablation of a graphite target, using the fundamental line of a 5 ns Nd:YAG
laser. Deposition was carried out as a function of the plasma parameters (mean kinetic ion energy and plasma density), determined
by means of a planar probe. In the selected working regimes the optical emission from the plasma is mainly due to atomic species,
namely C+ (426.5 nm); however, there is also emission from other atomic species and molecular carbon. The hardness and resistivity
could be varied in the range between 10 and 25 GPa, and 108 and 1011 Ω cm, respectively. The maximum values were obtained at a 200 eV ion energy and 6×1013 cm−3 plasma density, where the maximum quantity of C–C sp3 bonds was formed, as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. 相似文献

Holographic phase conjugation is analyzed as a method to create a photo-refractive lens with high numerical aperture. For
this purpose a sub-wavelength hole is drilled into a metal surface directly on top of an iron-doped lithium niobate crystal.
An interference pattern generated by the light coming from this point source and a plane reference wave is recorded. By using
the phase-conjugated reference wave for read-out, a light wave being focused onto the former point source is reconstructed.
In principle, a focusing system close to the theoretical diffraction limit could be implemented by this method. The performance
of this arrangement is mainly determined by properties of the lithium niobate crystal, especially the crystal symmetry. Experimentally,
the tight holographic focusing is demonstrated. The focus width of the reconstructed wave is shown to be below 1.2 μm, which
is our spatial resolution. The diffraction efficiency obtained, however, is just 3×10−5 compared to 3×10−2 in the plane-wave case. This can be explained by experimental reasons, the inhomogeneous light intensity and limitations
originating from the crystal symmetry. We estimate that the diffraction efficiency for phase conjugation through a sub-wavelength
hole can be improved by three to four orders of magnitude by addressing the above-mentioned issues. 相似文献

An overview of recent advances in applications of currently the most energetic X-ray laser at 21 nm is given. The unique parameters
of this half-cavity based X-ray laser such as record output energy of 10 mJ, highly symmetric beam, robustness and reproducibility,
have made it possible to carry out a number of multidisciplinary scientific projects featuring novel applications of intense
coherent X-ray radiation. Selected results obtained in these experiments are reviewed, including X-ray laser probing of dense
plasmas, measurements of transmission of focused soft X-ray radiation at intensities of up to 1012 W cm-2, measurements of infrared laser ablation rates of thin foils, and ablative microstructuring of solids. 相似文献

The yield of muon pairs in the invariant mass region 1<M<2.5 GeV/c
2 produced in heavy-ion collisions significantly exceeds the sum of the two expected contributions, Drell-Yan dimuons and muon
pairs from the decays of D meson pairs. These sources properly account for the dimuons produced in proton-nucleus collisions.
In this paper, we show that dimuons are also produced in excess in 158 A GeV In-In collisions. We furthermore observe, by tagging the dimuon vertices, that this excess is not due to enhanced D meson
production, but made of prompt muon pairs, as expected from a source of thermal dimuons specific to high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The yield of
this excess increases significantly from peripheral to central collisions, both with respect to the Drell-Yan yield and to
the number of nucleons participating in the collisions. Furthermore, the transverse mass distributions of the excess dimuons
are well described by an exponential function, with inverse slope values around 190 MeV. The values are independent of mass
and significantly lower than those found at masses below 1 GeV/c
2, rising there up to 250 MeV due to radial flow. This suggests the emission source of thermal dimuons above 1 GeV/c
2 to be of largely partonic origin, when radial flow has not yet built up. 相似文献

We demonstrate n-type doping of pentacene with the powerful reducing molecule decamethylcobaltocene (CoCp2*). Characterization of pentacene films deposited in a background pressure of CoCp2* by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Rutherford backscattering confirm that the concentration of incorporated donor molecules
can be controlled to a level as high as 1%. Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy show Fermi level (E
F) shifts toward unoccupied pentacene states, indicative of an increase in the electron concentration. A 1% donor incorporation
level brings E
F to 0.6 eV below the pentacene lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. The corresponding electron density of ∼1018 cm−3 is confirmed by capacitance–voltage measurements on a metal–pentacene–oxide–silicon structure. The demonstration of n-doping
suggests applications of CoCp2* to pentacene contacts or channel regions of pentacene OTFTs. 相似文献

Soft-X-radiation in the “water-window” region (23.3–43.6 ?) mainly from carbon laser plasmas generated by subpicosecond (700 fs)
0.248-μm laser pulses is studied as a function of angle of incidence and intensity (up to 1018 W/cm2) for p-polarized laser light. Furthermore, comparison is made between plasmas generated from massive and foil targets. Numerical
calculations are performed using a hydrocode coupled to X-ray line and continuum emission calculations including radiation
transport. The optimized conditions to achieve maximum water-window X-ray emissivity and, in particular, carbon Lyman-α line
emission are investigated. In addition, analytical scalings are presented. These theoretical results are essentially confirmed
by previous experiments. It is found that at optimized conditions, picosecond or subpicosecond laser plasma X-ray sources
with a power of the order of 1–10 GW in a spectral window of 1 ? could be developed.
