以六水合硝酸镉为镉源,硝酸锌为锌源,通过硼氢化钠还原硒单质制得NaHSe,并作为硒源,通过胶体化学法制备了一系列具有不同组分的水溶性Cd1-xZnxSe三元量子点。利用X射线粉末衍射仪(XRD)和高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)分析所制得的Cd1-xZnxSe的晶体结构和形貌,表明所制得三元量子点为立方结构,呈规则球状,平均粒径约为4nm。通过改变三元量子点的Cd和Zn元素的配比,调节Cd1-xZnxSe的能带结构,有效调控其光谱学性质;与ZnSe和CdSe等二元量子点相比,Cd1-xZnxSe的紫外可见光吸收光谱及荧光发射光谱都发生明显的红移。采用直接浸渍法,制备Cd0.5Zn0.5Se三元量子点敏化TiO2纳米管(TNTs)复合材料(Cd0.5Zn0.5Se@TNTs)。TEM结果显示Cd0.5Zn0.5Se三元量子点紧密结合在纳米管表面,红外谱图表明TiO2和Cd0.5Zn0.5Se之间形成Ti—Se键,有利于提高复合材料的稳定性。相对于纯TNTs,复合材料的紫外可见光吸收光谱在可见光区的吸收明显增强,吸收带边从400nm红移至700nm左右;同时,复合Cd0.5Zn0.5Se三元量子点后,可以有效地抑制光生电子-空穴对的复合,提高复合材料在可见光区域的光催化效率。可见光照射60 min后,催化剂Cd0.5Zn0.5Se@TNTs对罗丹明B(RhB)光降解率可达到100%,分别约为纯TNTs和纯Cd0.5Zn0.5Se的3.3倍和2.5倍。

采用密度泛函理论研究了一系列含磷配体(OPH_3、OPH_2Me、OPHMe_2和OPMe_3)对量子点(ZnX)_3(X=S、Se、Te)结构和性质的影响.Zn原子与配体中的O原子生成新的Zn-O配位键,使量子点的结构、吸附能、电荷分布、吸收光谱和HOMO-LUMO轨道等性质随着配体中甲基数目逐渐增多发生规律性的改变.计算结果表明:有机配体三甲基氧膦(OPMe_3)是阻止小尺寸(ZnX)_3量子点聚集,保护此类量子点的较为有效的配体.     

压强对GaSb/GaAs量子点形貌各向异性的影响

采用低压金属有机物化学气相沉积(LP-MOCVD)技术在Ga As(001)衬底上制备Ga Sb量子点,研究了反应室压强对改善Ga Sb/Ga As量子点形貌各向异性的影响。通过Sb表面处理方法,在Ga As衬底上形成低表面能的Sb-Sb浮层,实现以界面失配(IMF)生长模式对Ga Sb量子点诱导生长。用原子力显微镜(AFM)对各样品的量子点形貌进行了表征,结果表明Ga Sb量子点形貌各向异性明显且沿[110]方向拉长。在压强条件为10 k Pa时,IMF生长模式导致不对称岛的长宽比大于3,由于低能量(111)侧面的存在,Ga Sb量子点优先沿[110]方向生长而不是与之垂直的[110]方向。压强降低至4 k Pa时量子点密度增大为8. 3×109cm-2,量子点形貌转变为对称的半球形且长宽比约为1。低的压强降低了吸附原子的扩散激活能从而增大了扩散长度,可以有效改善Ga Sb量子点的各向异性。     

核壳型量子点(ME)4@(ME)28(M=Cd/Zn，E=Se/S)核壳间相互作用研究

采用密度泛函理论和自然键轨道理论结合的方法对核壳型量子点团簇(ME)4@(ME)28(M=Cd/Zn,E=Se/S)的几何结构、范德华体积、分子轨道和核层与壳层间的轨道占据进行模拟,分析不同核壳团簇结构中核与壳之间的相互作用。结果显示,核层金属原子与壳层非金属间距离大于核层非金属原子与壳层金属原子间距离,相同壳层时,Zn-Se/S键长小于Cd/Zn-Se键长,孤立的核和壳体积之和大于相应核壳构型的体积;核壳间的相互作用主要源于壳层非金属原子Se的sp杂化轨道和核层金属原子Cd/Zn的s、p及少量的d轨道相互作用。研究表明,一方面,核内原子和壳上的原子之间存在很强的化学键的作用;另一方面,在核与壳之间存在着显著的边界,表明核、壳构型有差异,核壳构型中的核与壳之间存在相互作用且二者相互影响。

Cd1-x ZnxTe晶体退火条件的选择及Zn压对退火晶体质量的影响

采用传统Bridgman方法和加入accelerated crucible rotation technique的Bridgman(缩写为ACRT-B)方法生长的Cd1-xZnxTe(x=0.04)晶体中存在有点缺陷、位错、杂质和Te沉淀等缺陷.为了减少甚至消除这些缺陷,必须将生长后的CdZnTe晶片在Cd气氛下退火.从Cd-Te和Cd0.96Zn0.04Te的P-T相图出发,详细讨论了CdZnTe晶体的气-固平衡条件,并以此为依据选择退火条件,对ACRT-B法生长的Cd0.96Zn0.04Te晶体进行了退火实验研究.实验结果表明,气氛中的Zn压在一定程度内高于平衡压力有利于晶体中多余Te向晶体表面扩散,即有利于消除Te沉淀.但过高的Zn压会使晶体表面成分偏离原始的化学配比.此时,晶体表面与气氛强烈的原子交换,将造成严重的表面损伤,形成一层结晶质量很差的表面层.同时,Zn原子向晶内的扩散,抑制了退火过程中晶内杂质向晶体表面的扩散.因此,在较低的Zn压下退火(但仍处于气-固平衡范围内),能排除晶内杂质.通过仔细研究不同条件下退火后晶片的结晶质量和断面成分分布,可以认为CdZnTe晶体的退火可分为去沉淀相退火、去杂质退火和均匀化退火几种,最佳的退火工艺应是多步骤、多阶段的组合退火工艺.     

CdSeS量子点的光吸收谱亚结构和光致发光激发谱分析

用光致发光激发(PLE)谱分析吸收谱的亚结构。实验样品是共熔法制备的CdSeS量子点玻璃,量子点的生长时间分别为2h和4h,高分辨透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)分析得到样品中量子点的平均直径分别为3．6nm和3．8nm。在室温下对样品进行了光吸收谱和光致发光激发谱研究。光吸收谱显示了量子尺寸效应,光致发光激发谱中低能端有两个明显的峰。考虑价带简并以及电子与空穴之间的相互作用,通过理论分析和数值计算,得到1S3/2-1Se和2S3/2-1Se的跃迁能量及其随量子点半径的变化,由此确认光致发光激发谱中的两个峰分别为1S3/2-1Se和2S3/2-1Se跃迁。     

较高浓度PbSe量子点硅酸盐玻璃的制备及光学表征

采用高温熔融-热处理法,以ZnSe作为PbSe量子点的硒源,成功制备了较高浓度的PbSe量子点硅酸盐玻璃。透射电子显微镜(TEM)测试表明,量子点在玻璃基质中的体积比高达2%～4%,高于采用Se作为硒源时的掺杂体积比。X射线衍射(XRD)测试表明,PbSe量子点呈立方晶体结构。光致发光(PL)光谱测试表明,量子点有强烈的荧光发射,发光波长半峰全宽(FWHM)覆盖1400～2600nm,其PL峰值强度和FWHM均大于以Se为硒源时的情形。以ZnSe代替Se作为PbSe量子点的硒源,可有效避免Se组分的高温挥发,同时,残余Zn形成的ZnO有利于玻璃中PbSe量子点的析晶,从而提高了PbSe量子点在玻璃中的含量。该PbSe量子点玻璃,可用来进一步制备成超带宽、高增益的红外光纤放大器。     

非层状二维CdSe的制备及厚度对带隙的影响

二维半导体材料的天然带隙有望弥补石墨烯的零带隙缺陷,打破后者在场效应晶体管、开关器件、逻辑电路等领域的应用瓶颈.相较于层状半导体材料,非层状半导体材料多以较强的离子键/共价键结合,且各向同性,因此要获取其二维结构存在一定挑战.本论文通过化学气相沉积法实现了非层状Cd Se在云母衬底上的二维各向异性生长.详细表征了二维Cd Se的微观形貌、晶体结构和光学特性等.结果表明,样品具有显著的光致发光(PL)效应,说明厚度减薄至纳米级时不会破坏Cd Se的直接带隙属性.此外,随着厚度减小,样品的PL峰逐渐蓝移.为了进一步解释该现象,采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,研究了不同厚度的Cd Se的能带结构,结果显示均为直接带隙,且随厚度减小,带隙值增大,与实验现象吻合.由此可知,通过生长参数调控二维Cd Se的厚度,即可实现对其带隙的有效调控,这对相关光电器件的性能提升具有指导意义.     

CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS多壳层结构量子点的制备与表征

展示了一种简捷的多壳层量子点合成路线。在含有过量Se源的CdSe体系中直接注入Zn源,"一步法"合成了CdSe/ZnSe量子点;进一步以CdSe/ZnSe为"核",表面外延生长ZnS壳层制备了核/壳/壳结构CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS量子点。相对于以往报道的多壳层结构量子点的制备方法,该方法通过减少壳层的生长步骤有效地简化了实验操作,缩短了实验周期,同时减少对原料的损耗。对量子点进行高温退火处理,能够大幅提高CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS量子点的发光量子产率。透射电镜、XRD以及光谱研究表明:所制备的量子点接近球形,核与壳层纳米晶均为闪锌矿结构,最终获得的CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS量子点的光致发光量子产率达到53％。为了实现量子点的表面生物功能化,通过巯基酸进行了表面配体交换修饰,使量子点表面具有水溶性的羧基功能团,并且能够维持较高的光致发光量子产率。     

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.     

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

Resonance scattering of canonical elastic shells in absorbing fluid medium

Resonance scattering of elastic spherical shell and cylindrical shell while the surrounding fluid medium has absorption is studied. The normal mode solution derived using exact elastic theory and the separation of variables is still applicable. However, the scattering form function has to be modified for the absorbing medium, otherwise the unreasonable result would be obtained. The backscattering form function in the absorbing medium is redefined, and the form function of elastic spherical and cylindrical shell with vacuum or solid matter filled is calculated in various absorption conditions. The results show that the absorption of surrounding fluid leads to notable attenuation of the coincidence resonances in the mid-frequency, but it has a little influence on the low-frequency resonance scattering induced by the filler inside the shell.     

Single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensor with high detection resolution

A versatile and low-cost single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensing system with ultra-high resolution performance is presented.The system exhibits a root-mean-square phase fluctuation of ±0.0028.over a period of 45 min.i.e.a resolution of±5.2×10-9 refractive index units.The enhanced performance has been achieved through the incorporation of three design elements:a true single-beam configuration enabling complete self-referencing so that only the phase change associated with SPR gets detected,a differential measurement scheme to eliminate spurious signals not related to the sensor response,and the elimination of retardation drifts by incorporating temperature stabilization in the liquid crystal phase modulato .Our design should bring the detection sensitivity of non-labeling SPR biosensing closer to that achievable by conventional fluorescence-based techniques.     

Influences of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 films

Ta2O5 films are prepared on BK7 substrates with conventional electron beam evaporation deposition.The effects of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the films are investigated.The results show that SiO2 protective layers exert little influence on the electric field intensity(EFI)distribution,microstructure and microdefect density but increase the absorption slightly.Annealing iS effective on decreasing the microdefect density and the absorption of the films.Both SiO2 protective layers and annealing are beneficial to the damage resistance of the films and the latter is more effective to improve the LIDT.Moreover,the maximal LIDT of Ta2O5 films is achieved by the combination of SiO2 protective layers and annealing.     

A stereo matching algorithm using multi-peak candidate matches and geometric constraints

Gray cross correlation matching technique is adopted to extract candidate matches with gray cross correla- tion coefficients less than some certain range of maximal correlation coefficient called multi-peak candidate matches. Multi-peak candidates are extracted corresponding to three closest feature points at first. The corresponding multi-peak candidate matches are used to construct the model polygon. Correspondence is determined based on the local geometric relations between the three feature points and the multi-peak candidates. The disparity test and the global consistency checkout are applied to eliminate the remaining ambiguous matches that are not removed by the local geometric relational test. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and accurate.     

Fiber Modal Index Measurements Based on Fiber Gratings

A novel method based on fiber gratings for measuring the effective indices of fiber modes is proposed. The effective index difference between the core mode and a cladding mode was obtained by analyzing the interference fringe of a pair of cascaded long-period fiber gratings. In order to extract the core mode index from the measured index difference, an index matching oil immersion method is proposed. By analyzing the interaction between the cladding mode and the oil applied on the cladding surface, the mode order and the effective index of the involved cladding mode might be calculated. Experimental results about the interference fringe shifts induced by the oil index and the oil-applied length are also presented.     

Optical Pulse Compression Schemes That Use Nonlinear Bragg Gratings

Nonlinear optical pulse compression of picosecond pulses typically requires long lengths of optical fiber and multiple components. Periodic structures, such as fiber Bragg gratings, are highly dispersive at wavelengths outside of the photonic bandgap. This implies that such gratings can be used as very short all-fiber compressors. In this paper a number of such compression schemes are reviewed involving uniform and nonuniform fiber Bragg gratings, relying on both soliton and nonsoliton compression principles. Experimental results supporting the corresponding underlying theory are also presented. Finally, an extension of one of the compression schemes is shown, which allows the generation of adjustable high-repetition rate soliton trains.
