Characteristics of perfluorinated amine media for stimulated Brillouin scattering in hundreds of picoseconds pulse compression at 532 nm

The characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) in perfluorinated amine media and the experimental structure used in hundreds of picoseconds pulse compression at 532 nm are demonstrated. A two-stage SBS pulse compression structure is adopted for this work. The compact double-cell SBS compression structure and the scattering media FC-70 are chosen to compress the incident light from 9.5 to about 1 ns in the first stage. Then,the light is used as the pumping source for the second pulse compression. In the second stage, using a single-cell SBS structure in a pulse compression system, perfluorinated amine media with different phonon lifetimes, such as FC-3283, FC-40, FC-43, and FC-70, are chosen to run the comparative experimental study. The narrowest compressed pulse times obtained are 294, 274, 277, and 194 ps; they respectively correspond to the above listed media. The average width of the compressed pulse width is 320 ps for FC-3283, with a fluctuation range of87 ps. For FC-40, the average pulse width is 320 ps, with a fluctuation range of 72 ps. And for FC-43, the average pulse width is 335 ps, with a fluctuation range of 88 ps. However, the average pulse width is only 280 ps for FC-70, with a fluctuation range of 57 ps. The highest energy reflectivity is more than 80% for all of the media. The experimental results show that a two-stage SBS pulse compression system has lower pump energy requirements, thus making it easier to achieve a compressed pulse waveform. The results also show that the shorter the phonon lifetime of the medium, the narrower the obtained compressed pulse width.

Identification of pore size in porous SiO2 thin film by positron annihilation

Positron annihilation lifetime and Doppler broadening of annihilation line techniques have been used to obtain information about the small pore structure and size of porous SiO2 thin film produced by sputtered A1-Si thin film and etched Al-Si thin film. The film is prepared by an Al/Si 75:25 at.-% (A175Si25) target with the radiofrequency (RF) power of 66 W at room temperature. A 5 wt.-% phosphoric acid solution is used to etch the A1 cylinders. All the Al cylinders dissolved in the solution after 15 h at room temperature, and the sample is subsequently rinsed in pure water. In this way, the porous SiO2 on the Si substrate is produced. From our results, the values of all lifetime components in the spectra of Al-Si thin film are less than 1 ns, but the value of one of the lifetime components in the spectra of porous SiO2 thin film is T = 7.80 ns. With these values of lifetime, RTE (Rectangular Pore Extension) model has been used to analyze the pore size.

Size-dependent optical properties and carriers dynamics in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots

Size-dependence of optical properties and energy relaxation in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots （QDs） were investigated by two-colour femtosecond （fs） pump-probe （400/800 nm） and picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence （ps TRPL） experiments. Pump-probe measurement results show that there are two components for the excited carriers relaxation, the fast one with a time constant of several ps arises from the Auger-type recombination, which shows almost particle sizeindependence. The slow relaxation component with a time constant of several decades of ns can be clearly determined with ps TRPL spectroscopy in which the slow relaxation process shows strong particle size-dependence. The decay time constants increase from 21 to 34 ns with the decrease of particle size from 3.2 to 2.1 nm. The room-temperature decay lifetime is due to the thermal mixing of bright and dark excitons, and the size-dependence of slow relaxation process can be explained very well in terms of simple three-level model.     

Temperature dependent effects on luminescence polarization and recombination lifetime in serpentine superlattice quantum wire arrays

We have measured photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and radiative lifetimes as functions of temperature for serpentine superlattice quantum-wire arrays. The (Al, Ga)As arrays have lateral periods near 10 nm, and lateral confining potentials of 120 meV in the conduction band. At low temperature the excitons are strongly localized within potential fluctuations along the wires. The radiative lifetime of these localized states is 340 ps at 2 K. The degree of exciton localization decreases with increasing temperature, from which we estimate the strongly-localizing potential fluctuations to be approximately 10 meV deep. Above 80 K the excitons have sufficient thermal energy for motion along the wires. The radiative lifetimes increase with temperature, to 20 ns for free carriers at 325 K. The lateral potential barriers inhibit diffusion to non-radiative recombination sites.     

Photophysics of polymer-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are successfully dispersed in two conjugated polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) and poly[2-methoxy-5- (2’-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEHPPV) solutions. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in the near-infrared and visible spectral regions are used to study the interaction of the dispersed carbon nanotube and the wrapped polymer in the nano-hybrids. The SWNTs infrared emission is the signatures of the separation of single semiconducting tubes, the lifetime of the photoluminescence of these tubes is bi-exponential with the first component varying from 6 ps (in MEHPPV wrapped SWNTs) to 14 ps (in PFO wrapped SWNTs), while the second component of the decay for all samples is in the range of 30-40 ps, revealing the intrinsic lifetime of the SWNTs. The study of the photoluminescence of the nano-hybrids in the visible spectral range shows, in the case of the PFO, a relatively strong quenching, the photoluminescence lifetime for the hybrid is more than 100 ps shorter than the one of the pristine polyfluorene solution. For the MEHPPV-SWNT hybrid an opposite behavior is revealed with the photoluminescence lifetime surprisingly longer than the polymer solution. The possible mechanism for the interaction of the two conjugated polymers and the SWNTs is discussed in terms of their electronic band structure.     

The intrinsic lifetime of low-frequency zone-centre phonon modes in silicon nanowires and carbon nanotubes

Estimates of the intrinsic lifetime of low-frequency zone-centre phonon modes in silicon nanowires and carbon nanotubes have been presented from the application of Fermi’s golden rule formula based upon an elastic continuum model for cubic anharmonicity. In particular, results have been presented for the lowest non-zero mode in both nanostructures, and also the breathing mode in the nanotube. Except for the ultrathin nanowire, the lifetime increases with size and decreases with an increase in temperature. Typically, these modes have a lifetime of the order of nanoseconds, almost a thousand times larger than the lifetimes of optical phonon modes in the corresponding bulk materials. Also, at room temperature the lifetime of the lowest non-zero mode is nearly an order of magnitude larger in the (20,20) nanotube than in the nanowire of similar thickness (width 2.2 nm).

Measuring the thermal conductivity of a single carbon nanotube

Although the thermal properties of millimeter-sized carbon nanotube mats and packed carbon nanofibers have been readily measured, measurements for a single nanotube are extremely difficult. Here, we report a novel method that can reliably measure the thermal conductivity of a single carbon nanotube using a suspended sample-attached T-type nanosensor. Our experimental results show that the thermal conductivity of a carbon nanotube at room temperature increases as its diameter decreases, and exceeds 2000 W/mK for a diameter of 9.8 nm. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity for a carbon nanotube with a diameter of 16.1 nm appears to have an asymptote near 320 K. The present method is, in principle, applicable to any kind of a single nanofiber, nanowire, and even single-walled carbon nanotube.

Helium bubbles in neutron-irradiated copper-boron studied by positron annihilation

The influence of helium, introduced by the ¹⁰B(n, α)⁷Li reaction, on the evolution of defect structure in copper containing a few hundred ppm boron has been studied by detailed positron lifetime and two-photon angular correlation measurements, supplemented by TEM studies. In the as-irradiated state of Cu-B, two lifetime components have been resolved. The shorter lifetime, τ₁, = 167 ps of 97% intensity, has been understood as due to positron trapping at small helium-vacancy complexes, while the longer lifetime τ₂ = 450 ps of 3% intensity is explained as due to helium-free voids. Marked changes in the annihilation characteristics observed at 670 K are interpreted in terms of the nucleation of microbubbles, controlled by thermally activated helium migration to vacancy traps. Corroborative evidence for the onset of helium clustering is obtained from the change in the average size of positron traps as deduced from the smearing of the measured angular correlation spectra. Helium bubbles and helium-free voids coexisting in the system have been distinguished by a three-component analysis of the lifetime spectra. Bubbles are found to be stable beyond the temperature of dissociation of voids. The size and concentration of bubbles, determined independently by TEM measurements, are in accordance with the positron annihilation results in the growth stage. The observed positron lifetime at higher annealing temperatures has been analysed by relating the annihilation rate to helium atom density and helium pressures in bubbles evaluated. These pressures are in satisfactory agreement with the estimates of equilibrium pressures, leading to the conclusion that bubble relaxation occurs by the mechanism of thermal vacancy condensation.     

Continuum generation in water and carbon tetrachloride using a picosecond Nd-YAG laser pulse

We have measured the continuum generated in two non-linear media, distilled water and carbon tetrachloride, pumped by a 36 ps Neodymium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser pulse operating at 1.06 μm. We show that the induced spectral broadening extends from 400 nm to 850 nm in both media. However, we find that continuum spectra of carbon tetrachloride exhibit an oscillatory structure with an energy range of about 445 cm⁻¹ which corresponds to the fundamental Raman component. This behaviour is due to a spectral non-overlapping of the Raman anti-Stokes components photoinduced in this medium.     

Positron lifetime study of vacancy-type defects in amorphous and polycrystalline nanometer-sized alumina

2 O₃ and nanocrystalline Al₂O₃ specimens. The short-lifetime (170±20 ps), intermediate-lifetime (410±20 ps) and long-lifetime components correspond to three different kinds of defects: monovacancy-like free volumes, microvoids, and larger voids. The appearance of lifetimes in the range 1–5 ns indicates the formation of positronium. The influence of thermal annealing from 873 K to 1373 K on positron lifetime parameters was also analyzed. The components with lifetimes τ₁=170 ps and τ₂=410 ps persisted even after the grains had grown to 100 nm in size, while the long-lifetime component declined significantly when grain sizes exceeded 10 nm. The interface characteristics of polycrystalline nano-Al₂O₃ prepared by the two methods were compared by analyzing the variations of the positron-lifetime parameters with grain growth.
