基于均值漂移实现非发射线天体光谱的谱线自动提取

非发射线天体的光谱是天体光谱谱线提取中最难处理的一种。针对非发射线天体,给出了一种基于均值漂移的谱线自动提取方法。首先,利用均值漂移总是指向局部密度最大点也即密度的模式点这一性质,提取出较为满意的伪连续谱;其次,均值漂移滤波同时工作在空间域和幅度域上,是一种非线性的边缘保持滤波方法,在去除噪声的同时,能够较好地保持特征谱线的信息,文章在连续谱归一化后,采用均值漂移去噪得到谱线光谱;最后,对谱线光谱设置局部阈值提取出特征谱线。通过对恒星、正常星系等的实验表明：该方法是有效的, 这将对后续的参数测量和基于谱线的光谱分类非常有利。     

基于原子和分子谱线分析的LIBS快速测量CO_2

作为温室气体的主要成分,CO_2的排放控制有利于应对全球气候变暖以及生态环境变化,对CO_2的快速检测具有重要意义。目前检测CO_2的方法有滴定法,电化学法,气相色谱法,红外吸收光谱法等,但对应用于工业现场的在线监测还存在着不足。激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)具有远程测量,无需或仅需简单预处理,多组分同步测量等优点,本文提出将其应用于CO_2在线监测,期望发展适用于工业过程碳排放的在线监测技术。利用质量流量控制器控制纯度为99.99%的CO_2和N2配比形成不同CO_2浓度的混合气体模拟烟气环境,经过混气瓶充分混合后送入密封样品池进行LIBS测量实验。研究不同延迟时间下C247.86nm和CN38.34nm谱线的演化规律,验证了等离子体形成过程中存在部分CO_2分子解离反应生成CN分子,在CO_2定量分析时应考虑CN分子谱线的影响,并获得同步测量C原子和分子谱线的最佳延迟时间为800ns。在此基础上,由于等离子体演化过程中,各种信息相互影响,分析指标与多个测量参数存在关系,综合考虑C原子、CN碎片及修正高浓度影响下的自吸收效应,采用多元回归分析方法建立了CO_2定量分析曲线,其拟合度R~2和斜率分别达到了0.978和0.981,结果表明相比单个指标直接定标,该方法提高了定量分析模型的可靠性,验证了LIBS技术快速测量CO_2的可行性。     

测定硅原子共振谱线精细结构相对强度

原子光谱实验应主要了解谱线波长和谱线强度两个问题。前者涉及原子能级结构,后者涉及原子能级之间跃迁概率;二者紧密联系,是了解原子结构的二个方面。原理共振谱线是指从最低激发态直接跃迁到基态的谱线。硅原子基态是[Ne]3s~23p~2[~3P],三重态的最低激发态是[Ne]3s~23p4s[~3P],共振跃迁如右图所示。当精细分裂不大时,温度对ν~4影响很小,则A可视为常数。对于L→L跃迁,精细结构强度的理论计算为经计算,获得的硅原子共振线精细结构强度列表如下。

Laser cooling of atoms, ions, or molecules by coherent scattering

We point out a laser cooling method for atoms, molecules, or ions at low saturation and large detuning from the particles' resonances. The moving particle modifies the field inside a cavity with a time delay characteristic of the cavity linewidth, while the field acts on the particle via the light shift. The dissipative mechanism can be interpreted as Doppler cooling based on preferential scattering rather than preferential absorption. It depends on particle properties only through the coherent scattering rate, opening new possibilities for optically cooling molecules or interacting atoms.     

Reference database of Raman spectra of biological molecules

Raman spectra of biological materials are very complex, because they consist of signals from all molecules present in cells. In order to obtain chemical information from these spectra, it is necessary to know the Raman patterns of the possible components of a cell. In this paper, we present a collection of Raman spectra of biomolecules that can serve as references for the interpretation of Raman spectra of biological materials. We included the most important components present in a cell: (1) DNA and RNA bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil), (2) amino acids (glycine, L ‐alanine, L ‐valine, L ‐serine, L ‐glutamic acid, L ‐arginine, L ‐phenylalanine, L ‐tyrosine, L ‐tryptophan, L ‐histidine, L ‐proline), (3) fatty acids and fats (lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, 12‐methyltetradecanoic acid, 13‐methylmyristic acid, 14‐methylpentadecanoic acid, 14‐methylhexadecanoic acid, 15‐methylpalmitic acid, oleic acid, vaccenic acid, glycerol, triolein, trilinolein, trilinolenin), (4) saccharides (β‐D ‐glucose, lactose, cellulose, D ‐(+)‐dextrose, D ‐(+)‐trehalose, amylose, amylopectine, D ‐(+)‐mannose, D ‐(+)‐fucose, D ‐(−)‐arabinose, D ‐(+)‐xylose, D ‐(−)‐fructose, D ‐(+)‐galactosamine, N‐acetyl‐D ‐glucosamine, chitin), (5) primary metabolites (citric acid, succinic acid, fumarate, malic acid, pyruvate, phosphoenolpyruvate, coenzyme A, acetyl coenzyme A, acetoacetate, D ‐fructose‐6‐phosphate) and (6) others (β‐carotene, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, glutathione). Examples of Raman spectra of bacteria and fungal spores are shown, together with band assignments to the reference products. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Recurrence spectra of He atoms in strong external fields

1 Introduction The photo-absorption phenomenon of high Rydberg atoms in strong external fields has attracted much attention in recent years. The semiclassical closed-orbit theory[1,2] developed by Du and Delos has been extensively used to explain this phenomenon. This theory has successfully calculated and interpreted the photo-absorption spectra of H- in various external fields[3,4] and has been applied to describe the photo-excitation, wave packet dynamics of some atoms and molecules such…     

Reactions of excited atoms and molecules with atoms and molecules

Penning electron distributions arising from the ionization of Na and K by He (1s 2s ^1,3 S)-metastables in thermal collisions, as well as the absolute cross section for Penning ionization of Na by He (2³ S) and relative cross sections for ionization of Na and K by He(2¹ S) and He(2³ S) are measured. It is shown that under fairly general conditions the well depth ε* of the interaction potential between the metastable and the target particle can be obtained directly from the measured electron distributions. ε*-values are reported for the moleules He(1s 2s ^1,3 S)-Na(² S), K(² S) (^2,2Ω), and for He(1s 2s ^1,3 S)-Hg(¹ S)(^1,3Ω). These latter values are obtained from previously published measurements and are to be considered preliminary. Further, additional evidence is given, that Penning ionization with metastables is an electron exchange process.     

Reactions of excited atoms and molecules with atoms and molecules

From a He-beam excited by electron impact we eliminated the He(2¹ S) component to better than 0.5% by irradiating light from a He discharge. The quenching process ishv(2¹ P→2¹ S)+He(2¹ S)→He(2¹ P)→He(1¹ S +hv) (2¹ P 1)¹ S. By measuring the ions produced in collisions of the He-metastables with various target gases in a mass spectrometer, singlet to triplet Penning-cross section ratios were obtained. These ratios are without exception close to one, which is taken as evidence for the previously proposed electron exchange mechanism of the Penning ionization. In the case that more ions are produced in the collision of He (2¹ S) and He(2³ S) with a target gas, separate relative production cross sections are obtained for the two metastables. For the rare gases the measurements are performed at two temperatures of the He-beam, 320 and 90 °K. It is found that the cross section ratio of associative — to Penning ionization increases considerably as the temperature is decreased for both, He(2¹ S) and He(2³ S), the effect being much more pronounced for He(2¹ S). The results of this work are found to confirm conclusions drawn from measured energy distributions of the electrons ejected in the Penning process.     

Reactions of excited atoms and molecules with atoms and molecules

Ionizing collisions of long lived excited particles with atoms and molecules are studied by a cross beam technique. For the first time reactions of atoms in high Rydberg states are included in the investigation. In this paper we report relative cross sections for the production of the ions RH⁺, RH ₂ ⁺ , and H ₂ ⁺ by collisions of excited rare gas atoms R^* with H₂. With HD as the target molecule the isotope effect for the production of RD⁺ and RH⁺ has been determined. In the case of argon and krypton, ions are produced only by the high Rydberg states, whereas in the case of helium and neon only the metastable states contribute to a measurable extent. The data indicate, that the reaction mechanism is different in principle for metastable and highly excited atoms. Simple models are proposed to explain the experimental results.     

Isolated atoms,molecules and clusters

The basic constituents of matter, namely, atoms molecules and small clusters can be isolated in a solid rare-gas-matrix (RGM) and be characterized by Mössbauer Spectroscopy (MS). Experiments can be conducted both by the absorption method using a co-evaporation method of Mössbauer isotopes or by emission spectroscopy where source nuclei are isolated in the RGM. Experimental aspects of both techniques are outlined. Examples of applications of RGMI-MS are described, namely,⁵⁷Fe clustering with noble-metals (Cu, Ag, Au); unusual electronic states of Fe following⁵⁷Co e.c. decay; species formed by the bonding of Fe⁰, in its ground state, to small molecules are compared with those formed by Fe in its various excited states; and finally, the characterization of atomic I⁰ and Te⁰ and Te^?1 embedded in a solid argon matrix.     

Coherent Raman and hyper-Raman spectroscopy of excited and autoionizing states of atoms and ions in laser-produced and electric-discharge plasma

Summary The experimental results on four-wave Raman and hyper-Raman scattering in a laser-produced and electric-discharge plasma are presented. It has been shown that in spectra of four-wave mixing processes resonances appear due to the Raman and hyper-Raman scattering on atomic and ionic excited states. The temporal behaviour of the scattered-signal intensity has been found to be connected with the population relaxation of atomic and ionic excited states. We have observed for the first time the resonance in the spectrum of coherent hyper-Raman scattering in electric-discharge plasma associated with the electron transition between the excited and autoionizing state of a copper atom. Paper presented at the ?XI European CARS Workshop?, Florence, Italy, 23–25 March, 1992.     

Thermal desorption spectra of chemisorbed atoms and molecules with lateral interactions and finite mobility: Nondissociatively adsorbed molecules

A model of thermal flash desorption of interacting chemisorbed atoms and molecules from a crystal surface is developed. The possibility of adatom diffusion along the surface is taken into account, but thermal equilibrium of the adatom system during the desorption process is not assumed. The whole range of adsorbate mobilities, including absolutely immobile species as well as adsorbates in thermal equilibrium, is investigated. The result is obtained in the form of a chain of differential equations for correlation functions of occupation numbers which is solved in various approximations. The numerical results differ from the results of previous calculations and are in better agreement with the experiments. The experimental thermal desorption spectrum of CO on W(210) is satisfactorily reproduced.
