Dynamics of H2 in Intense Femtosecond Laser Field

Fragmentation of 1t2 in femtosecond laser field is studied by using velocity map ion imaging method and 70 fs laser at 405nm and 810nm from 0.3 to 3.0 × 10^14 W//cm^2. Angular distributions from Coulomb explosion are independent of the laser wavelengths and intensities, which means the explosion starts from the same electronic state. Angular distributions from dissociation channels in the 810 nm laser field broaden with the laser intensity. Lobe structures in angular distributions from Coulomb explosion and above threshold dissociation channels are reported. Fine structures in the distribution of internuclear distances are observed.     

交叉分子束方法研究H+CH4和H+CD4反应:CH3/CD3的振动激发态产物通道

We study the H+CH₄/CD₄→H₂/HD+CH₃/CD₃ reactions using the time sliced velocity map ion imaging technique. Ion images of the CH₃/CD₃ products were measured by the (2+1) resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) detection method. Besides the CH₃/CD₃ products in the ground state, ion images of the vibrationally excited CH₃/CD₃ products were also observed at two collision energies of 0.72 and 1.06 eV. It is shown that the angular distribution of the products CH₃/CD₃ in vibrationally excited states gradually vary from backward scattering to sideways scattering as the collision energy increases. Compared to the CH₃/CD₃ products in the ground state, the CH₃/CD₃ products in vibrationally excited states tend to be more sideways scattered, indicating that larger impact parameters play a more important role in the vibrationally excited product channels.     

Structural Deformation of CO22+ in Intense Femtosecond Laser Fields

The angular distributions of CO^＋ from the dissociation of CO2^2＋ and CO2^＋ in intense femtosecond laser fields （45 fs, about 5 × 10^15 W/cm^2） are studied at a laser wavelength of 800nm based on the time-of-flight mass spectra of CO^＋ fragment ions. The experimental results show that structural deformation occurs in the charge state of CO2^2＋ and the CO^＋ maintains linear geometrical structure.     

Intense green/yellow emission in Ca8Zn(SiO4)4Cl2:Eu, Mn through energy transfer for blue-LED lighting

Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ co-doped Ca₈Zn(SiO₄)₄Cl₂ phosphors have been synthesized by a high temperature solid state reaction. Energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ is observed. The emission spectra of the phosphors show a green band at 505 nm of Eu²⁺ and a yellow band at 550 nm of Mn²⁺. The excitation spectra corresponding to 4f⁷-4f⁶5d transition of Eu²⁺ cover the spectral range of 370-470 nm, well matching UV and/or blue LEDs. The shortening of fluorescent lifetimes of Eu²⁺ followed by simultaneous increase of fluorescent intensity of Mn²⁺ with increasing Mn²⁺ concentrations is studied based on energy transfer. Upon blue light excitation the present phosphor can emit intense green/yellow in comparison with other chlorosilicate phosphors such as Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ co-doped Ca₈Mg(SiO₄)₄Cl₂ and Ca₃SiO₄Cl₂, demonstrating a potential application in phosphor converted white LEDs.     

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.     

Measurements of nanoparticle size distribution produced by laser ablation of tungsten and boron-carbide in N2 ambient

Nanoparticles (NPs) were produced by ablating tungsten and boron-carbide (B₄C) target materials in atmospheric pressure nitrogen ambient using ArF excimer laser pulses. The size distributions of the NPs formed during the ablation were monitored—within a 7-133 nm size window—by a condensation particle counter connected to a differential mobility analyzer. The laser repetition rate was varied between 1-50 Hz, and the fluence was systematically changed in the range of 0.5-15 J/cm², for both materials, allowing a comparative study in an extended laser parameter regime. The multishot ablation threshold (Φ_th) of B₄C was determined to be ∼1.9 J/cm² for the laser used (ArF excimer, λ = 193 nm). Similarly to earlier studies, it was shown that the size distributions consist of mainly small nanoparticles (<∼20 nm) attributed to a non-thermal ablation mechanism below Φ_th. An additional broad peak appears (between 20 and 40 nm) above Φ_th as a consequence of the thermally induced macroscopic ablation. Chemical composition of deposited polydisperse nanoparticles was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showing nitrogen incorporation into the boron-carbide.

Above-Threshold Dissociation of HD+ in Femtosecond Laser Field

The above-threshold dissociation （ATD） of the HD＋ molecular ion in femtosecond laser field is investigated theoretically. The energy-dependent distribution of the dissociated fragments is calculated using an asymptoticflow expression in the momentum space. The calculations show that the ATD of HD＋ is sensitive to the initial vibrational level of ground electronic state. Multiphoton ATDs can be observed in the dissociation processes. The dynamics phenomena are interpreted by using the concept of light-dressed potential.     

Scattering of N2 from Ni(111)

A cold (T_rot<10 K) beam of N₂ with an initial translational energy of 0.40 eV strikes an Ni(111) surface at surface temperatures from 300 to 873 K at several incident angles from 15 to 60°. The rotational energy and angular distributions of the scattered molecules are probed using (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. Molecules scattered in the specular direction have mean rotational energies that are independent of surface temperature, whereas those scattered at angles far from the specular show a dependence on surface temperature, caused likely by multiple collisions with the surface before escape. A rotational rainbow, seen in systems such as CO–Ni(111) and N₂–Ag(111), is not seen in this system. For molecules that scatter close to the specular direction, approximately 10% of the initial translational energy is converted into rotational energy of the scattered N₂. For surface temperatures above room temperature, the angular distributions indicate that molecules that scatter into low-J states also tend to exit in a broad peak (10–20° FWHM) near the specular, and this peak is broadened with increasing incident angle. The molecules that scatter into high-J states have a much broader distribution, indicating that they are trapped rotationally during the initial collision and suffer multiple collisions before leaving the surface.     

Scanning tunneling microscopy of N2H4 on silicon surfaces

The chemistry of N₂H₄ on Si(100)2 × 1 and Si(111)7 × 7 has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy. At low coverages on Si(100)2 × 1 at room temperature the adsorption sites are distributed randomly on the surface and are imaged as dark spots in the dimer row by the STM. Upon annealing the substrate at 600 K, both isolated reaction products, as well as clusters of reaction products are formed on the surface. The STM images show that the majority of the isolated reaction products are adsorbed symmetrically across the dimers. Based on previous HREELS data, these are most likely NH_x groups. However, the clusters are not well resolved. Because of this we speculate that they are not simply symmetrically adsorbed NH_x groups, but likely have a more complicated internal structure. At higher coverages, the STM images show that the predominant pathway for adsorption is with the N---N bond parallel to the surface, in agreement with HREELS studies of this system. On Si(111)7 × 7, the molecule behaves in a manner which is similar to NH₃. That is, at low coverages the molecule adsorbs preferentially at center adatoms due to the greater reactivity of these sites, while at higher coverages it also reacts with the corner adatoms.     

N2-broadening coefficients in the ν2 and ν4 bands of PH3

N₂-broadening coefficients are measured for 61 transitions of PH₃ in the ^QR branch of the ν₂ band and the ^PP, ^RP, ^SP, and ^PQ branches of the ν₄ band, using a tunable diode-laser spectrometer. The recorded lines with J values ranging from 1 to 16 and K from 0 to 11 are located between 1008 and 1106 cm⁻¹. The collisional widths are determined by fitting each spectral line with a Voigt profile, a Rautian profile, and a speed-dependent Rautian profile. The latter models provide larger broadening coefficients than the Voigt model. These coefficients have also been calculated on the basis of a semiclassical model of interacting linear molecules by considering an atom-atom Lennard-Jones potential in addition to the electrostatic contributions. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data and reproduce the J dependence of the broadenings, but their decrease at high J values is overestimated for the ^QR (J, K) transitions.     

Second-order conditional moment closure modeling of a turbulent CH4/H2/N2 jet diffusion flame

The second-order CMC model for a detailed chemical mechanism is used to model a turbulent CH₄/H₂/N₂ jet diffusion flame. Second-order corrections are made to the three rate limiting steps of methane–air combustion, while first-order closure is employed for all the other steps. Elementary reaction steps have a wide range of timescales with only a few of them slow enough to interact with turbulent mixing. Those steps with relatively large timescales require higher-order correction to represent the effect of fluctuating scalar dissipation rates. Results show improved prediction of conditional mean temperature and mass fractions of OH and NO. Major species are not much influenced by second-order corrections except near the nozzle exit. A parametric study is performed to evaluate the effects of the variance parameter in log-normal scalar dissipation PDF and the constants for the dissipation term in conditional variance and covariance equations.     

Chemiluminescence from NaClO-H2O2 and enhanced by l-cysteine capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum-dots

Water-soluble l-cysteine capped Mn-doped ZnS@Si quantum-dots (QDs), a kind of sensitizer, were synthesized. It was found that this sensitizer could enhance chemiluminescence (CL) signals emitted from interaction of NaClO with H₂O₂ in basic medium. The CL mechanism was studied experimentally by singlet oxygen (¹O₂) quenching method, UV-vis spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectra, transmission electron microscopy studies and ESR spin-trapping spectra. The results demonstrated that the CL enhancement of NaClO-H₂O₂ originate from the catalysis of the sensitizer, which catalyzed the decomposition of H₂O₂, producing reactive intermediates hydroxyl radical (OH) and superoxide anion (O₂⁻). Then the resulting OH reacted with O₂⁻ to form ¹O₂ and oxygen excimer species (¹O₂)₂^?, which rapidly returned to its ground state by passing its energy to the sensitizer through an electron-transfer process. Finally, the sensitizer being in excited state, returned to the ground state through enhanced CL-emission.     

N2-broadening coefficients in the ν4 band of CH4 at room temperature

Using a diode laser spectrometer, we have studied with a great accuracy the N₂-broadening coefficients in the ν₄ band of methane. The experiments were performed at room temperature for lines in the P- and R-branches. We have measured 39 lines in the spectral range 1237–1373 cm⁻¹ with J values between 1 and 12. Each line under study was recorded at four different nitrogen pressures, ranging from 20 to 91 mbar. The collisional half-widths were obtained by fitting individually a theoretical profile on the experimental profile of each line at each N₂-pressure. We fitted the usual Voigt profile, but also the Rautian and Galatry lineshape models which take into account the collisional narrowing due to the molecular confinement (Dicke effect). The Rautian and Galatry fits are always better adjusted on the experimental profiles. For some lines, when the overlapping could not be disregarded, a fit of the blended profiles was performed using the same lineshape models. The collisional broadening coefficients obtained with Galatry and Rautian models are nearly equal and always higher than those derived from Voigt profile. Finally, we compare our results with previous determinations realized for several absorption bands.     

NMR: hyperfine interactions in MoO3, MoS2, MoSe2 Mo3Se4, MoSi2 and Mo2C

Nuclear hyperfine interactions have been obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for in a number of binary Mo compounds, both insulators and metals, which illustrate the interplay between nuclear quadrupole and chemical (Knight) shift terms. The insulating phases are characterised by nuclear spin lattice relaxation times greater than 100 s, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of indirect phonon Raman relaxation for these compounds.     

Luminescence and energy transfer in Eu, Mn co-doped Li4SrCa(SiO4)2 for white light-emitting-diodes

Li₄(Sr_0.96Eu_0.04)(Ca_1 − xMn_x)(SiO₄)₂ phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions and photoluminescence (PL) properties were investigated. These phosphors have intense absorption in n-UV region, which is suitable for excitation of UV LEDs. The orange-reddish emission of Mn²⁺ can be adjusted by changing the Mn²⁺/Eu²⁺ ratio. Energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ is observed. Li₄(Sr_0.96Eu_0.04)(Ca_1 − xMn_x)(SiO₄)₂ phosphors could be used in white LEDs.

为了探究VO₂薄膜受激光辐照的温度场分布,以及1 064 nm激光直接辐照100 s内至相变的激光功率密度阈值,并比较近红外和中红外波段透过率调制特性差异。首先基于COMSOL建立了薄膜受激光辐照的模型并进行了温度场仿真,然后分别测试了薄膜正反面被不同功率密度的1 064 nm激光辐照100 s内激光透过率随时间响应特性。实验中的VO₂薄膜利用分子束外延法在Al₂O₃基底上制备得到。仿真结果表明,激光功率密度为25 W·mm^-2时,50 nm厚薄膜在被辐照1 ms时间内即达到相变温度。经激光辐照实验发现:50 nm厚的VO₂薄膜正反面受1 064 nm激光直接辐照100 s内至相变的功率密度阈值分别为4.1 W·mm^-2和5.39 W·mm^-2。30 nm厚VO₂薄膜对1 064 nmn激光的透过率调制深度约为13%,对3 459 nm激光透过率调制深度约62%,说明VO₂薄膜对近红外透过率调制特性不明显。
