High-Order Above-Threshold Ionization of H2+ in Intense Laser Field

The nonperturbative quantum electrodynamies method proposed by Fu et al. [Phys. Rev. A 75 （2007） 063419] is employed to study the high-order above-threshold ionization （ATI） of a diatomic molecule. Based on this frequency-domain theory, the high-order ATI process can be regarded as ATI followed by laser-assisted collision, where the total transition amplitude is the coherent summation of the contributions from each ATI channel. The angular-resolved ATI spectrum, which agrees with the results by Becket et al. based on the time-domain method, is obtained by this frequency domain theory. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the interference characteristics representing the molecular structure in the ATI spectrum originates from the recollision of the electron with two-centre ion in each ATI channel.     

Photodetachment of HF- in an Electric Field

Photdetachment of a negative HF^- ion in an electric field is studied by using the two-centre model and the closed orbit theory. An analytic formula is presented for the electron flux of HF^- in the presence of an electric field. The results show that the oscillation in the electron flux distribution is caused by the rescattering effect of the molecular ion core and the interference between the two nuclei. In addition, the interference between the orbits passing through the given spatial point also plays an important role in the electron flux distribution. This study provides a new understanding of the photodetachment of polar molecules in the presence of external field.     

Improvement of the basis for the solution of the Dirac equation in Cassini coordinates

We propose an improvement of the basis for the solution of the stationary two-centre Dirac equation in Cassini coordinates using the finite-basis-set method presented in our earlier article [J. Phys. B 43, 235207 (2010)]. For the calculations in the above article, we constructed the basis for approximating the energy eigenfunctions by using smooth piecewise defined polynomials, called B-splines. In the present article, we report that an analysis of the employed representation of the Dirac matrices shows that the above approximation is not efficient using B-splines only. Therefore, we include basis functions which are defined using functions with step-like behavior instead of B-splines. Thereby, we achieve a significant increase of accuracy of results.     

Cs^＋-K^＋ Exchange in Z-Cut KTiOPO4 Crystal Covered with Chromium Masking Layer

Cs^＋-K^＋ ion exchanges are performed on z-cut KTiOPO4 crystals with chromium coating covered. The temperature of ion exchange is 430℃, and the time range from 15min to 30min. The dark mode spectra of the samples are measured by the prism coupling method. The channel structures on the samples are observed by a microscope and the near field pattern of the channel waveguides are measured by the end-fire coupling method. The refractive index of the samples increases and the increments at surface are modulated due to the existence of Cr film. In the region covered by Cr film, the refractive index of the samples at the surface increases dramatically in a shallow layer. The results of energy dispersive x-ray spectra indicate that in the region covered with Cr film, Cr ions participate in the ion exchange process, and enhance the refractive index. The results may provide a possibility that achieves index enhancement and Cr doping synchronically.     

Correlation between Zero-Field Splitting and Site Distortions of Cr^3＋ Ions in NH4Cl：Cr^3＋ System： a Complete Energy Matrix Study

A theoretical method for investigating the inter-relation between the electronic and molecular structures of 3d^3 configuration ions in a tetragonal ligand field is established on the basis of the 120 × 120 complete energy matrices. Using this method, the local structure parameters of two tetragonal Cr^3＋ centers in the NH4 Cl：Cr^3＋ system are determined, Furthermore, the relations between the molecular symmetry and the ligand field symmetry are discussed.     

Sylvester theorem and the multichannel transfer matrix method for arbitrary transverse potential profile inside a wave guide

Based on the Sylvester and Frobenius theorems, we drastically enhance the feasibility of the transfer-matrix approach to deal with problems involving a large number of propagating and interfering modes, which require the solution of coupled differential equations and the evaluation of functions of matrix variables. We report closed formulas for the spectral decomposition of this type of functions. As specific example, besides the calculation of simple and well-known 1D one channel transfer matrices, we derive the multi-channel transfer matrix for an electron gas in the presence of a transverse electric field.     

Non-perturbative Quark Propagator and the Study of the Non-trivial Q2 Dependence in the Nucleon Structure Functions

In consideration of the lowest order non-perturbative effect due to the quark condensate <qq>and gluon condensate on the quark propagator,we calculate QCD non-pertubative quark propagator under the chain approximation.Using the obtained non-perturbative quark propagator,we analyse the non-perturbative effect in the nucleon structure functions and show the non-trivial Q²-dependence in the nucleon structure functions.     

Photodetachment of H^- near a Partially Reflecting Surface-Ⅰ

Theoretical and interpretative study on the subject of photodetachment of H^- near a partially reflecting surface is presented, and the absorption effect of the surface is investigated on the total and differential cross sections using a theoretical imaging method. To understand the absorption effect, a reflection parameter K is introduced as a multiplicative factor to the outgoing detached-electron wave of H^- propagating towards the wall. The reflection parameter measures, how much electron wave would reflect from the surface; K = 0 corresponds to no reflection and K = 1 corresponds to the total reflection.     

Relativistic Energies and Auger Widths of High-Lying Doubly-Excited States 1s^23lnl′ ^1De in Be-Like O^4＋ Ions

The saddle-point variational method and restricted variational method are used to calculate energies of doublyexcited singlet states 1s^23lnl′ （n =3-.） ^1 De in Be-like O^4＋ ions, including the mass polarization and relativistic corrections. The saddle-point complex-rotation method is used to compute the Auger widths and Auger transition rates. These results are compared with other theoretical and experimental data in the literature.     

Photodetachment of H- near Elastic Surface in Parallel Electric and Magnetic Fields

The photodetachment cross section of H^- in parallel electric and magnetic fields near an elastic surface is derived and calculated by using the closed orbit theory. It is found that the elastic surface can produce some interesting effects. Besides the closed orbits previously found by Peters et al. for the H^- in parallel electric and magnetic fields, some additional closed orbits are produced due to the effect of the elastic surface. The results show that the cross section oscillation is much more complicated in comparison with the cross section of H^- in parallel external fields without surface. Each peak in the Fourier transformed cross section corresponds to the period of one detached electron closed orbit. This study provides a new understanding of the photodetachment of negative ions in the presence of external fields and surface.     

Interesting Features of n2D Rydberg Series Fine-Structure Splittings along the Sodium-Like Isoelectronic Sequence

Using a simplified multi-configuration Dirac-Fock （SMCDF） scheme based on the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock （MCDF） theory, we study the systematic variations of the fine-structure splittings of n^2 D3/2,5/2 Rydberg series along the sodium-like isoelectronic sequence, i.e. the fine-structure orderings vary with increasing atomic number Z. The competition between the spin-orbit interactions and the exchange interactions due to relativistic effects of the nd orbital wavefunctions well explain such variations. Furthermore, the effect of Breit interactions which plays the secondary role is studied.     

Double-Exponentially Decayed Photoionization in CREI Effect： Numerical Experiment on 3D H2^＋

On the platform of the 3D H2^＋ system, we perform a numerical simulation of its photoionization rate under excitation of weak to intense laser intensities with varying pulse durations and wavelengths. A novel method is proposed for calculating the photoionization rate： a double exponential decay of ionization probability is best suited for fitting this rate. Confirmation of the well-documented charge-resonance-enhanced ionization （CREI） effect at medium laser intensity and finding of ionization saturation at high light intensity corroborate the robustness of the suggested double-exponential decay process. Surveying the spatial and temporal variations of electron wavefunctions uncovers a mechanism for the double-exponentially decayed photoionization probability as onset of electron ionization along extra degree of freedom. Henceforth, the new method makes clear the origins of peak features in photoionization rate versus internuclear separation. It is believed that this multi-exponentially decayed ionization mechanism is applicable to systems with more degrees of motion.     

Auger process in CdS/ZnS core-shell quantum dots

Auger processes are investigated for CdS/ZnS core-shell quantum dots. Auger recombination (AR) lifetime and electron relaxation inside the core are computed. Using the effective-mass theory and by solving a three-dimension Schrödinger equation we predict the dependence of Auger relaxation on size of core-shell nanocrystals. We considered in this work different AR processes: the excited electron (EE), excited hole (EH), multiexciton AR type. Likewise, Auger multiexciton recombination rates are predicted for biexciton. Our results show that biexciton AR type is more efficient than the other AR process (excited electron (EE) and excited hole (EH)). We also found that electron Auger relaxation P→S is very efficient in core-shell nanostructures.

合成并表征了1-羟乙基-3,3-二甲基-6′,8′-二叔丁基吲哚啉苯并螺吡喃配体1及其衍生物配体2。由于苯并螺吡喃6′,8′-二叔丁基斥电子基团的电子效应,开环体部花菁酚氧负离子上的负电荷难以分散,使其结构不稳定,配体1在紫外光照射下不直接开环,只有在极性较强的甲醇溶剂中受适当金属离子诱导才能形成有色开环体部花菁结构形式。配体1能较好地选择识别Hg2+,Cr3+和Ag+。当其相互作用时,不但紫外可见光谱及荧光光谱有明显“turn-on”变化,而且体系颜色明显地由无色变成黄色,目视识别效果直观明显。其他金属离子的存在对Ag+,Cr3+和Hg2+的识别几乎没有干扰。配体1与Ag+,Cr3+和Hg2+络合的化学计量比均为1∶1,检出限分别是：7.435 8×10-6, 6.126 8×10-6, 3.452 4×10-6 mol·L-1。通过配体2进一步证明了配体1和金属离子识别的结合模式。即螺吡喃结构中N1位取代侧链上的羟基,和其开环体酚氧负离子相互协调并与金属离子结合。     

Back doping design in delta-doped AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors

In this paper, we investigate theoretically the electron transport in AlGaN/GaN single-barrier and in AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN double-barrier heterostructures, aimed to operate as high-power and high-temperature field-effect transistors. The presence of spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations as well as the heterointerface polarity are evoked and taken into account in the modelling part. Delta-doping is used as a source of electrons for the channel quantum well. Calculations of the electron-band parameters are made by using self-consistent solutions of coupled Schrodinger-Poisson equations. It is found that the polarization fields act to significantly increase the two-dimensional sheet charge concentration. Moreover, the AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with higher Al compositions are found to be favourable for higher electron densities. On the other hand, the employment of a back doping with delta-shaped profiles is shown to improve further the electrical behaviour of the field-effect transistors studied.

First-Principles Studies on Electronic Structures and Absorption Spectra of PbWO4 Crystals with Defect [V^2- Pb-V^2＋ o-V^2- Pb]^2-c

Electronic structures and absorption spectra for perfect PbW04 （PWO） crystals and the crystal containing aggregated defect [V^2- Pb-V^2＋ o-V^2- Pb]^2-have been calculated using density functional theory code CASTEP with the lattice structure optimized. The calculated absorption spectra of the PWO crystal containing the aggregated defect [V^2- Pb-V^2＋ o-V^2- Pb]^2-exhibit two absorption bands peaking at 1.90eV （65Onto） and 3.02eV （41Onto）. It is predicted that the 420 and fiSOnm absorption bands are related to the existence of the aggregated defect [V^2- Pb-V^2＋ o-V^2- Pb]^2-in the PWO crystal.     

Luminescence Spectra of YGG：RE^3＋, Bi^3＋ （RE = Eu and Tb） and Energy Transfer from Bi^3＋ to RE^3＋

We investigate the luminescence properties of Bi^3＋ and RE^3＋ （RE = Tb or Eu） in a Y3Ga5O12 （YGG） host system. The additional doping of Bi^3＋ can enhance the luminescence of Th^3＋ or Eu^3＋ in this host. Energy transfer from Bi^3＋ to Tb^3＋ and Eu^3＋ is observed and the mechanism of energy transfer is investigated. Mechanism of energy transfer can be explained as electric multipole interaction since the Bi^3＋ emission band and Tb^3＋ or Eu^3＋ excitation band overlaps and the Bi^3＋ emission intensity decreases while the intensity of Tb^3＋ or Eu^3＋ increases with the increase of Tb^3＋ or Eu^3＋ concentration. Therefore, Bi^3＋ ion is a kind of efficient sensitizer to the Tb^3＋ and Eu^3＋ activators in the Y3Ga5O12 host.     

Efficient Fibre Amplifiers Based on a Highly Er3＋/Yb3＋ Codoped Phosphate Glass-Fibre

Highly Er3＋ /yb3＋-codoped single-mode phosphate glass fibre is fabricated by the rod-in-tube technique. The performances of high-concentration Er3＋ /yb3＋-codoped phosphate glass fibre amplifiers are investigated and discussed. An efficient optical fibre amplifier with a gain of 12.6 dB based on a 3.0 cm long Era＋ /ybe＋-codoped phosphate glass fibre is demonstrated under a dual-pump configuration with two 976 nm fibre-pigtail laser diodes, which make it attractive for compact Er3＋-doped fibre amplifiers. The obtedned noise figures of signal wavelength from 1525 to 1565nm are less than 6.0dB. Gain saturation behaviour at 1535nm is also investigated, and the obtained saturation output power is larger than 10 dBm.     

Stochastic resonance in an ion channel following the non-Arrhenius gating rate

Stochastic resonance (SR) is a novel cooperative phenomenon occurring in nonlinear systems due to coupling of an ambient noise and an external signal. Biological systems may use SR mechanism to detect the signal efficiently from an external environment. A number of studies have addressed the SR in artificial ion channels considering external voltages as noises. More important than these external noises is the internal, thermal noise which changes the channel conformations essential for biological functions. In this work, we consider that the channel gating rates follow a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence derived from experimental data of a real biological channel. Using the Monte-Carlo simulations, we find that in this channel SR occurs near a physiological temperature in a very distinctive manner compared with that for the Arrhenius gating model.
