Optical Spectra of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposites with a Layered Subwave Structure

The results of theoretical and experimental investigations of the optical spectra of layer-periodic nanocomposites consisting of alternating tightly packed monolayers of silver nanoparticles and separating KCl layers of subwave thickness are presented. The characteristic features of the spectral dependence of the transmission and reflection coefficients of this type of nanocomposites have been analyzed for the case where the photon forbidden bands are located near the plasmon-absorption band. Experimental samples were prepared by successive thermal evaporation of silver and KCl in vacuum. Theoretical calculations were carried out using the quasi-crystalline approximation of the theory of multiple scattering of waves. It is shown that the spectral position, shape, and intensity of absorption and reflection bands can be regulated by changing the optical thickness of the intermediate dielectric films in a layered metal-dielectric composite.     

Effect‘s of Cross-Correlation Between Real and Imaginary Parts of Colored Pump Noise in Transient Process of Single-Mode Laser

A two-dimensional single-mode laser model with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the colored quadric pump noise is investigated. A novel laser amplitude Langevin equation is obtained, in which the cross-correlation λp between the real and imaginary parts of the pump noise appears. The mean, variance, and skewness of first-passage-time are calculated. It is shown that the mean, variance, and skewness of first-passage-time are strongly affected by λp.     

Luminescence of Thin Bismuth Germanate Films Having the Structure of Eulitine and Benitoite

The luminescence and luminescence excitation spectra of thin films of Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ and Bi₂Ge₃O₉ were investigated. The spectra were decomposed into elementary components by the Alentsev-Fok method. It has been established that the luminescence spectra of thin Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ and Bi₂Ge₃O₉ films have a similar structure and that each contains three luminescence bands with maxima at 2.70, 2.40, and 2.05 eV and at 2.73, 2.40, and 1.95 eV, respectively. Comparison of the results obtained with the well-known results of investigation of the luminescence of Bi₁₂GeO₂₀ and Bi₂O₃ suggests that the luminescence in the compounds considered is caused by the radiation processes that proceed in structural complexes of similar configuration that contain the bismuth ion in the nearest oxygen environment. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 3, pp. 377–380, May–June, 2005.     

Steady-State Analysis of a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Colored Pump Noise with Cross-Correlation Between Real and Imaginary Parts of Quantum Noise

Applying the method of the unified colored noise approximation and phase lock, we study in this paper the stationary intensity distribution of the single-mode laser driven by colored pump noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise. We present a thorough discussion of how the cross-correlation λq between the realand imaginary parts of the quantum noise and the self-correlation time τ of the pump noise determine the behaviors of the stationary distribution Qst(I), the mean (I), and the variance λ2(0) of the laser intensity. It is shown that cross-correlation intensity λq of the complex quantum noise can induce a first-order-like transition. When the pump noise is colored noise (τ≠ 0), improving the pump parameters monotonously will make the curves of Qst(I)exhibit reentrant phase transition. The fluctuations of laser intensity are strongly influenced by λq and τ when the laser is operated near or below threshold. Especially when τ≠ 0, the heights of the peaks of the curves of λ2(0)-a0 and λ3(0)-a0, (here a0 is the net gain coefficient) go up as λq increases. However the entire curves of λ2(0)-a0 and λ3(0)-a0are abruptly suppressed when λq = 1, in similarity to phase transition of stationary intensity distribution.     

Luminescence of Thin Films of Lead and Bismuth Tungstates

The luminescence spectra of thin films of PbWO₄ and Bi₂WO₆ were investigated. It is shown that these spectra are similar and that they consist of three individual bands in the blue (2.80 eV PbWO₄ and 2.93 eV Bi₂WO₆), green (2.35 eV PbWO₄ and Bi₂WO₆), and red (1.75 eV PbWO₄ and 1.90 eV Bi₂WO₆) spectral regions. The differences in the nature of the absorption centers of excitation energy are established. The distinguishing features displayed by the temperature dependences of the individual emission bands in the PbWO₄ films are explained by energy migration between emission centers via transfer of free carriers through the conduction and valence bands.

Electron Transitions of Cadmium Oxide

The bands, densities of states, and spectrum of the permittivity ₂ of a CdO crystal have been calculated by the FP–LMTO method. The ₂, ₁, –Im ^–1, and Re ^–1 spectra for the CdO crystal in the range 1–30 eV have been obtained on the basis of the experimental spectrum of reflection. The spectra were decomposed into elementary components and their main parameters were calculated. The obtained spectrum of the transverse components was compared with the theoretical spectrum of ₂.     

Analysis of the Electronic Vibrational Spectra of Bisanthene by Calculating Normal Modes

At 4.2 K, the quasiline fluorescence and fluorescence-excitation spectra (in the region of the S ₁ S ₀- and S ₂ S ₀ transitions) of bisanthene in n-hexane have been obtained. Using the MO/M8ST method, the calculation of the A _g normal modes in the S ₀, S ₁, and S ₂ electronic states was carried out for the bisanthene molecule; the relative intensities of the transitions in the corresponding vibronic spectra were also calculated. The analysis of the results of calculations and experiment made it possible to draw conclusions on the form of the modes for a number of normal vibrations which are active in the bisanthene vibronic spectra.

Exciton Reflection Spectra and the Structure of the Valence Band of Arsenic Chalcogenides

The polarized reflection spectra of arsenic sulfide crystal have been measured with high accuracy. The identical character of the triplet structures of the reflection spectra of As₂S₃ and As₂Se₃ has been established. On the basis of the well-known theoretical calculations of the bands of As₂Se₃, it is suggested that the three uppermost valence bands of both compounds are caused by the p states of arsenic, rather than sulfur, and are split into 0.1 and 0.2 eV. Underneath (about 0.4 eV) there are bands attributable to spin-orbital splitting of the p states of arsenic.     

Optical properties of silver selenium indate films obtained by the method of pulse laser vaporization

The spectra of transmission and reflection are measured in the region of 0.4–2.5 μm on thin silver selenium indate films obtained by means of pulse laser vaporization. The magnitudes of the refractive index and absorption coefficient are calculated. The energies of interband transitions and the values of crystalline and spin-orbit splitting are determined. The experimental results for the AgInSe₂ films agree with the data for bulk crystals. Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 67, No. 4, pp. 512–514, July–August, 2000.     

Modeling of the Kinetics of Intramolecular Processes and Transient Spectra with Allowance for Nonradiative Transitions

It has been shown that the kinetics of intramolecular processes and time-resolved spectra with allowance for the quantum beats of the resonant states of isomers or isolated subsystems of levels of one isomeric form can be described with the use of a molecular model interpreting the effect of beats as a nonradiative transition. We have obtained an expression for the nonradiative transition probability, which is directly proportional to the beat frequency and depends oscillatorily on time, thus modeling the effect of beats. The parameter of the molecular system model is the beat frequency directly related to the parameter characterizing the intramolecular interisomeric interactions (the corresponding nondiagonal element of the energy matrix) rather than the value of the nonradiative transition probability. The character of the change in the level populations and, accordingly, in the band intensities in the spectra in the proposed model is in good agreement with the experiment, including the fine structure of the time dependences — oscillations of the line intensities. In analyzing the temporal experiment with a high resolution, it is necessary to take into account the instrument function leading to quantitative and qualitative changes in the time dependences. The traditional model of nonradiative transitions with a constant probability value has a very limited range of applicability — very high beat frequencies compared to the probability of optical transitions.     

d2,8电子体系共价效应对光谱的影响

在含过渡金属离子的半磁半导体的光学和磁学性质研究中,由于体系的共价性较强,d轨道不再是纯d轨道,而是混合轨道t2g或eg。相应地,需要引入两个共价因子Nt和Ne。建立在混合轨道上的含有共价因子的能量矩阵称为广义能量矩阵。建立了d2,8电子体系的(45×45)阶广义能量矩阵。在广义能量矩阵中,拉卡(Racah)参量A不再是相加常量,同时,d8电子体系不能简单地视为互补的d2空穴体系,因为它们的能量矩阵形式不同。Nt和Ne虽然是属于两个不同轨道的不同的共价因子,但在数值上不能有大的差别,因为考虑进共价效应后,拉卡静电参量A对能级计算有极大的影响。这意味着在通常的光谱拟合中所采用的BCΔ方案是好的近似。以上结论被应用于ZnS∶Ni2 的d-d跃迁谱,计算结果与实验符合。     

Optical and electrical properties of hydrogenated yttrium nanoparticles

We studied the effect of hydrogen in yttrium nanoparticles on a quartz substrate, using optical spectroscopy and electrical resistance measurements. Pulsed laser deposition is used to obtain the Y clusters in an UHV environment. We show, that these clusters are highly sensitive to monoatomic H₁ produced from ambient hydrogen gas pressures, ranging from 10^-5 to 50 mbar with our experimental arrangement. The changes of optical and electrical properties due to the chemical reaction within the particles are sufficient to consider this material as a possible sensor for low concentrations of hydrogen.

Reflection and Absorption Spectra of Fluorite in the UV Spectral Region

We have calculated the R(E) and ₁(E) spectra from the theoretical ₂(E) spectra of five models in the region 8–27 eV and the ₂(E) and ₁(E) spectra from the experimental R(E) spectrum in the region 6–35 eV. The results are compared with the known theoretical ₂(E) spectra of five models. The basic features of all of the R(E), ₂(E), and ₁(E) spectra have been revealed. It is established that the experimental R(E) spectrum and the ₂(E) and ₁(E) spectra calculated with the use of experimental data are in good agreement with the results of theoretical calculations for the models of ₂(E). On the basis of the known theoretical calculations of the fluorite zones, a scheme of the nature of the principal maxima of R(E) and ₂(E) is suggested.     

Structure of the Absorption and Fluorescence Spectra of Solutions of Silico-Organic Polymers

The spectroscopic characteristics of new -linked polymers, whose main chain contains tetracoordinated silicon, acetylene groups, and 1,4-biphenyl or 2,7-fluorene, in chloroform have been investigated. It has been established that the spectral features of the absorption, fluorescence, fluorescence excitation, and fluorescence polarization spectra of these polymers are due to the inhomogeneous broadening of the electronic states of the centers of two types formed in the disordered polymer chain.

A comparison of the experimental and theoretical absorption spectra calculated for different models of the molecules is carried out.
