Analytic inner shell internal conversion coefficients for screened Coulomb potentials

An analytic method is presented for evalution of internal conversion coefficients (ICC) in inner shells of neutral or ionized atoms. Analytic formulas for ICC are given which include electron screening and static nuclear size effects. Predictions have also been obtained from these formulas for point Coulomb ICC or for screening effects included only in bound state normalization. Very good agreement with full numerical calculations is found, except in those cases where the formation region of the ICC is not well inside the atom. While the discussion in this paper concerns mediumZ elements (30<Z<80) and not too low energy, the method can be extended to other situations. The method is suited also for ICC of the inner shells of ionized atoms, even for very high degree of ionization.     

Nonequilibrium laser-produced plasma of volume-structured media and inertial-confined-fusion applications

We review the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the properties of a nonequilibrium plasma produced from volume-structured media, containing micro- and nano-size internal elements, under laser-pulse irradiation. We consider two types of materials, i.e., regularly and stochastically structured materials. The first type is either a set of flat layers or cylindrical and spherical shells of micrometer thickness, and the second type is either foams of light elements or light foams containing clusters of heavy elements with dimensions in the range of 10–100 nm. We study the properties of high-temperature laser-produced plasmas of such materials and applications directed to developing the design of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets and creating powerful sources of thermonuclear neutron and soft X-ray emission initiated by the laser pulse. The foam materials can be used as absorbers capable of providing homogeneity of laser-energy absorption by the target. A neutron yield up to 1014−1015 DT neutrons per shot can be achieved by heating regularly structured materials using a laser pulse in the regime of the consequent thermal explosions of solid elements containing isotopes of hydrogen. Laser-radiation conversion into soft X-ray emission with the efficiency controlled in a wide range may be realized in laser-produced plasmas of porous media doped with clusters of heavy elements. In particular, such a material can be used as an absorber–converter of laser radiation in inertial confinement fusion targets. Under direct irradiation of an ICF target by a laser pulse, such a converter can provide transformation of 20–30% of the absorbed laser energy into the energy of X-ray radiation transferred to thermonuclear capsules.     

Design of X-ray super-mirrors using simulated annealing algorithm

An adaptive local search-based simulated annealing (ALSA) algorithm is proposed for the design of the wide band-pass multilayer optical elements operating in the hard and soft X-ray wavelength ranges. At present the SA algorithm has been kept as simple as possible and its performance is being studied before a series of modifications are made to tailor the SA algorithm to optimize super-mirror for particular applications. The algorithm has also been developed with two specific areas in mind: a W/C broad angle super-mirror for hard X-ray applications and a Mo/Si wide band super-mirror operating at normal incidence in the EUV spectral region. The design results show that the ALSA algorithm method has the flexibility to design a wide range of multilayer structures and in comparison to other techniques has good results although computationally more intensive.     

Influence of high-energy X-ray irradiation on the optical properties of tetraphenylporphyrin thin films

Tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) thermally evaporated films were irradiated by different doses (0.5–2.5 kGy) of X-ray with energy 6 MeV. The optical properties for TPP were investigated using spectrophotometric measurements of the transmittance and reflectance at normal incidence of light in the wavelength range from 200 to 1100 nm. The absorption spectra recorded in the UV-VIS region of spectra showed different absorption bands, namely four Q-bands in the visible region of the spectrum and a more intense band termed as the Soret band in the near-UV region of the spectrum. Two other bands labeled N and M appear in the UV region. The Soret band showed Davydov splitting. Increasing X-ray irradiation dose influences the optical properties of TPP films. All absorption bands show a continuous blue shift in position and a decrease in intensity with increasing X-ray dose. At 2.5 kGy the B, N, and M bands disappeared. The reduction in the absorbency was calculated as a function of X-ray dose. The energy gap was determined and the type of optical transition was found to be an indirect allowed transition.

Band gap variation in co-evaporated AgInSe2 thin films with 1.26 MeV He+ ion irradiation

Polycrystalline AgInSe₂ thin films have been prepared by co-evaporation of individual elements on glass substrate at a high temperature. The samples were subjected to the irradiation of 1.26 MeV helium ions (He⁺). Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction and optical studies have been carried out from transmittance and reflectance measurements. The effect of irradiation on the structural and optical properties has been investigated for different doses of He⁺ ions. It is observed that the band gap of silver indium selenide thin films decreases gradually from 1.25 eV to 1.07 eV with irradiation dose.     

Magnetic microstructures and their dynamics studied by X-ray microscopy

Full-field soft X-ray microscopy in combination with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism as contrast mechanism is a powerful technique to image with elemental specificity magnetic nanostructures and multilayered thin films at high lateral resolution down to 15nm by using Fresnel zone plates as X-ray optical elements. Magnetization reversal phenomena on a microscopic level are studied by recording the images in varying external magnetic fields. Local spin dynamics at a time resolution below 100ps can be addressed by engaging a stroboscopic pump-and-probe scheme taking into account the time pattern of synchrotron storage rings. Characteristic features of magnetic soft X-ray microscopy are reviewed and an outlook into future perspectives with regard to increased lateral and temporal resolution is given.     

Facile synthesis of group-I elements (K,Li and Na)-doped nanostructured CdO films

In this study, we report an application of facile and low-cost successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method to investigate nanostructured CdO films. We have tried to enhance some physical properties of nanostructured CdO films by group-I (K, Li and Na) elements doping. The crystal structures, morphology, absorption, transmittance, reflectance behaviour and optical band gap values of CdO films were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy techniques. XRD analysis reveals formation of CdO cubic crystalline structure. From these characterizations, it was seen that there are important distinctions in the structural, morphological and optical properties of undoped and K-, Li- and Na-doped nanostructured CdO films.     

Pressure induced heavy electron states in TmTe

We performed a spectromicroscopic measurement on TmTe single crystal with fractured surface in THz to visible regions (25 meV to 2.5 eV) at 300 K and at pressures up to 6 GPa by using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) at the spectromicroscopy station (BL43IR) of SPring-8 in the THz region and also at Kobe University in the IR–visible regions. At pressures above around 1 GPa, a prominent Drude-like structure due to the appearance of the conduction electrons was resolved in the reflection spectra. From the analysis of the spectra by a simple Drude model, we found that the pressure-induced metallic state behaves as a heavy electron system.     

Optical characteristics of light-emitting diodes with high transparent conductive film at low temperatures

In this paper, we report the synthesis and transmittance of a titanium–indium–tin oxide (TITO) film, fabricated through a low-temperature process. The TITO film was fabricated by incorporating a 2-nm-thick titanium barrier at the bottom of an ITO film. The transmittance characteristics of the TITO film were examined for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of various wavelengths at different post-annealing temperatures. A saturated high transmittance was observed at a temperature of 550 °C, which is relatively low when compared to that in the case of a conventional ITO film. Photoluminescence studies demonstrated that a 450-nm-thick TITO film, fabricated at 550 °C, was highly effective in improving the performance of the LED, when compared to conventional ITO films. The X-ray diffraction peaks, scanning electron microscopy images, and transmittance electron microscopy images confirmed that titanium atoms could improve the crystallization of ITO. It was found that non-crystallization in ITO was effectively activated by the titanium barrier. Furthermore, the optical bandgap (3.77 eV for the conventional ITO film) was improved to 3.92 eV in the TITO film. An infrared LED fabricated with a TITO film displayed 70% higher light output power than that with a conventional ITO film. These results suggest that using a titanium barrier is essential to effectively improve inactive nucleation sites in ITO films grown at low temperatures.     

A super-resolution Fresnel zone plate and photon sieve

Realizing a smaller or sharper diffractive center spot is a valuable research aim in soft X-ray focus and other related research applications. Fresnel zone plates (FZP) and photon sieves (PS) are often used to focus the X-rays or other wavelength light at present. Here, we show that combination of a super-resolution phase mask (SPM) and an FZP (or PS) as one diffractive optical element can realize a smaller or sharper diffractive center spot without significantly increasing the fabrication difficulty. All these diffractive phase elements can be applied to beam shaping, mask-less lithography, energy congregation in high power lasers, soft X-rays focus, and any other field that requires a smaller or sharper diffractive center spot.

Hybrid recoil mass analyzer at IUAC — First results using gas-filled mode and future plans

Hybrid recoil mass analyzer (HYRA) is a unique, dual-mode spectrometer designed to carry out nuclear reaction and structure studies in heavy and medium-mass nuclei using gas-filled and vacuum modes, respectively and has the potential to address newer domains in nuclear physics accessible using high energy, heavy-ion beams from superconducting LINAC accelerator (being commissioned) and ECR-based high current injector system (planned) at IUAC. The first stage of HYRA is operational and initial experiments have been carried out using gas-filled mode for the detection of heavy evaporation residues and heavy quasielastic recoils in the direction of primary beam. Excellent primary beam rejection and transmission efficiency (comparable with other gas-filled separators) have been achieved using a smaller focal plane detection system. There are plans to couple HYRA to other detector arrays such as Indian national gamma array (INGA) and 4π spin spectrometer for ER tagged spectroscopic/spin distribution studies and for focal plane decay measurements.     

Computer-generated holographic optical elements produced by photolithography

We report the creation of novel computer-generated holographic optical elements. The method of computing diffraction gratings producing a continuous focal pattern in the form of a line and also gratings that have N orders in a row of equal energy is described. The method has also been developed for coding the filter-complex transmittance functions in order to form and analyze the transverse modes. All the above elements are realized as glass-substrate binary-phase refractive holograms by projection photolithography by using photoreduction. The minimum line width is 2·5 mkm. These elements may also be fabricated as reflective holograms.

Phot-masks and the results of an investigation of the intensity distribution produced by the elements are presented. The investigation results confirm the synthesized elements' high quality.
