Temperature behavior of implanted and pulsed laser irradiated GaAs

Recent studies have shown that the Low-Power Pulsed-Laser Annealing (LPPLA) of ion-implanted GaAs specimens can be realized in a power-density window in which a complete structural reordering is guaranted. As the experimentally employed conditions allow us to describe the theoretical problem in an unidimensional space domain, we describe here a method to investigate the in-depth temperature behavior during the low-power pulsed-laser irradiation of ion-implanted semiconductors. The application of this method to GaAs specimens shows that the upper limit of the energy density window is connected with the exceeding of the critical temperature T _c below which the As evaporation rate is negligible.

Positron annihilation in gamma irradiated crystals

The angular correlation between the two gamma-quanta arising from positron annihilation in untreated and gamma-irradiated alkali halides is reported. For low level gamma irradiation the percentage of positrons annihilating with F-centre electrons is not very significant. When the F-centre concentration is increased to as much as 1.5 × 10¹⁷ per cm³, about 15 per cent of positrons annihilate with F-centre electrons. The angular correlation curve becomes progressively narrower with increase in F-centre concentration. Positrons annihilating in gamma-irradiated crystals reduce the F-centre considerably. The results of a systematic investigation on F-centre bleaching by positron annihilation are reported.     

Thermoluminescence in gamma irradiated fibre optics

Thermolliminescence has been observed in short lengths of fibre optics irradiated using Co60 gamma rays. Aspects of the nature of this thermoluminescence may be related to the effects of gamma radiation on the optical performance of the fibres. Some applications are suggested.     

Thermal behavior of thin metal films irradiated by shaped femtosecond pulse sequences laser

A numerical solution of the two-temperature model has been performed up to the shaped femtosecond pulse sequences heated metal target. The two-temperature model is used to analyze the shaped femtosecond pulse sequences with the following major conclusions. We confirm the distinctly different results on the different shaped femtosecond pulse sequences. As the number of shaped femtosecond pulses increases, the nonequilibrium state between electrons and phonons gradually disappears, the highest transient electron temperature is lowered and the thermolization time is prolonged, the electron heat conductivity remains higher because of the effect of incubation on the electron temperature, which preserves the advantages of ultrashort lasers. The shaped femtosecond pulse sequences can increase the efficiency in ablation and micromachining.     

Spectroscopic and thermal studies of gamma irradiated polypropylene polymer

Thin films of polypropylene have been irradiated with different doses of gamma radiation from a ⁶⁰Co source. IR, UV-VIS spectra of this polymer before and after irradiation have been recorded and from the spectral data some modifications in the properties have been investigated. The spectra indicated that polypropylene film was oxidised at the dose of 10⁶ Gy. Due to the removal of additives, total destruction of the polymer takes place at this dose. Isotactic arrangement of the polymer is no longer present after irradiation. Growth of carbon cluster takes place above a gamma dose of 10² Gy. Thermal stability of the polymer changes due to irradiation and the polymer seems to decompose in four different steps at the highest dose of 10⁶ Gy.     

Optical and electrical properties of gamma irradiated PADC detector

PADC (Polyallyldiglycol carbonate) detector subjected to gamma rays undergoes change in optical and electrical properties. The optical band-gap is determined using Tauc's plot. The band-gap is found to be unchanged up to the dose of 10³ Gy, and then starts decreasing with increasing dose. The band-gap is lowered from 4.04 eV for the pristine material to 2.46 eV for the highest dose (10⁶ Gy). The dielectric constant of the detector is influenced due to the gamma exposure. At lower doses (up to 10⁴ Gy), the detector seems to be not polarised, so no change in dielectric constant is observed. But at the dose of 10⁵ Gy, the value is increased slightly while at the highest dose (10⁶ Gy), the dielectric constant of the detector is found to be enhanced significantly. The results indicated a decrease in track registration sensitivity with increase in gamma dose.     

Modeling of fast phase transitions dynamics in metal target irradiated by pico- and femtosecond pulsed laser

We investigate laser pulse influence on aluminum target in irradiance range 10⁹ to 10¹⁶ W/cm², pulse duration between 10⁻⁸ and 10⁻¹⁵ s, Gaussian time profile with wavelength of 0.8 μm. For all computations energy density was 10 J/cm². Plasma in the evaporated material is generated at the energy density above 10 J/cm²as the modeling showed.Long and short laser pulses distinguish by the mechanisms of energy transformation. For short laser pulses there is volumetric energy absorption, together with rapid phase transitions it lead to overheating in solid and liquid states, overheated solid temperature rises up to (6-8)T_m. Under influence of the energy saved in overheated solid, duration of the phase transitions becomes nanosecond, which is several orders of magnitude longer than laser pulse.

NMR studies of electron and gamma irradiated CoFeNiSiBC amorphous alloy

NMR spectra were obtained by spin-echo technique in the frequency interval of 40--I40 MHz at the temperature 4.2 K. Samples of the investigated amorphous ribbon of the composition Co--12.6%Ni-6.1%Fe-4.6%B-6.3%Si-0.018%C were prepared by rapid quenching from the melt. After electron and gamma irradiation the NMR spectrum main lines widths are decreased and the frequencies of the main peaks are shifted. The observed changes of the spectrum can be interpreted as irradiation-induced changes in Co₂B and Co₃B short-range order and as destruction of crystal nuclei. These findings are confirmed by increase of the crystallization temperature controlled by thermomagnetic analysis.     

Spectroscopic study of laser irradiated chromatin

Antiprotonic helium is a metastable three-body neutral atom consisting of an antiproton, a helium nucleus and an electron, which we serendipitously discovered some 20 years ago. The antiproton, which normally annihilates within a few picoseconds when injected into matter, can be “stored” in this system for up to several microseconds, and laser spectroscopy is possible within this time window. From the laser transition frequency, the antiproton-to-electron mass ratio can be deduced to high precision. Recent progress at CERN’s antiproton decelerator (AD) will be discussed.     

The emergence of chaos in a laser irradiated spherical absorber

We show in this paper that the simple system of a spherical absorber immersed in water can exhibit complex and chaotic behavior upon absorption of laser energy. We report on computer experiments performed on this simple system. We present power spectra and calculate Lyapunov exponents that show that for increasing laser pulse durations and increasing laser energy the pressure response of the system changes from periodic to a regime displaying spatiotemporal chaos. This is important from a theoretical point of view because the complex behavior displayed in this simple system makes it an excellent choice for investigations into the nonlinear dynamics of fluids and the complicated transition to turbulence. This is also important for people using these systems for various applications in material science and biomedicine.     

Preliminary spectroscopic investigation of some PVA membranes gamma irradiated

The UV-VIS absorption property and the structural modification of PVA membranes gamma irradiated were investigated by XRD, UV-VIS and Raman spectroscopies. The increase of UV absorbance is observed after irradiation. This behavior is correlated with the scission effect and local ordering of the polymeric chain induced by irradiation. These effects were probed by XRD and Raman spectroscopy.     

Electron Spin Resonance study of gamma irradiated MA-AMPS copolymer

Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectra of gamma irradiated methylacrylamide-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulphonic acid (MA-AMPS) are recorded to identify the radical species formed during the irradiation of the copolymer. The ESR spectrum observed for irradiated MA-AMPS copolymer at liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) (77 r K) is an asymmetric triplet; while the spectrum observed at room temperature (RT) is a quintet. The intensity distribution of both the spectra deviated appreciably from the expected theoretical values. Computer simulations are employed to analyze the ESR spectra observed at different temperatures. The triplet spectrum observed at LNT is simulated to be a superposition of component spectra arising from macroradicals of the type～CH 2 - \dot {\rm C} H-CH 2 ～ (I), radicals of the type \dot {\rm C} H 2 SO 3 H (II), and peroxy radicals (III). In contrast, the RT spectrum is simulated to be a superposition of component spectra arising due to radicals I, II, III together with the component quartet assigned to methyl radicals ( \dot {\rm C} H 3 ). The formation of such free radicals in irradiated copolymer is discussed.     

Photo-EPR study of gamma and neutron irradiated SI GaAs:Cr

The photo-EPR study of semi-insulating GaAs:Cr is reported. For non-irradiated samples the temperature dependence of Cr EPR signal amplitude was measured and the abnormal increasing of the Cr⁴⁺ EPR signal at the time the illumination was stopped was discovered. The neutron irradiation suppressed the Cr⁴⁺ EPR signal, but had almost no influence on the Cr²⁺ signal. The gamma irradiation induced a new spectrum.     

Filamentation on laser irradiated spherical targets

Filamentary structures have been observed in the corona plasma of spherical targets irradiated uniformly at intensities of 10¹²-10¹⁴ W cm^-2 by a 1.5 ns Nd glass laser pulse and probed by a 50 ps (FWHM) Raman shifted second harmonic probe pulse.     

Luminescence studies on gamma irradiated KCl: Ce crystals

This paper reports thermoluminescence(TL), optical absorption and TL emission studies that are made on Ce³⁺ doped KCl single crystals irradiated at room temperature. The glow curve and optical absorption studies indicate the participation of Ce³⁺ ions in the TL process. The TL study suggests the presence of low concentration of Ce³⁺ ions which reduces the TL efficiency with respect to pure KCl samples. On F bleaching γ irradiated crystals Z₁ centers are observed. A broader and strongly intense violet blue emission at 290, 370, 423 and 488 nm has been observed with 240 nm excitation. This emission has been attributed due to the transition from 5d(2D) excited energy level to the 4f¹ ground stable energy level (2F_5/2 and 3F_7/2) of Ce³⁺ doped KCl crystals.
