High Resolution B-Type Delayed Fluorescence of Dibenzanthracene in PMMA

B-Type delayed fluorescence of 1,2,3,4-dibenzanthracene in PMMA was experimentally observed for the first time. Dibenzanthracene molecules were exerted in a two-step process. In the first step, an excited singlet S₁ is created, which undergoes intersystem crossing to T₁ then T-T absorption creates an excited triplet dibenzanthracene molecule, which returns to the first exerted singlet level by intersystem crossing. The recreated first excited singlet of dibenzanthracene decays back to the ground state by emitting this new type of delayed fluorescence.     

Persistence and coexistence of infinite attractors in a fractal Josephson junction resonator with unharmonic current phase relation considering feedback flux effect

Josephson junction resonators are the devices which exhibit complex behaviours as a consequence of their inductive properties. Even though the insulating medium between Josephson junctions (JJs) is normally considered homogeneous, the fact that lithography is used to form the layer, it has fractal substrates. Such JJs are identified as fractal Josephson junctions (FJJs). In this paper, a new chaotic oscillator based on memristor and FJJ has been investigated. Superconductor properties can dramatically change its operating points especially voltage and heat that are related to Josephson tunnelling. Some changes in the operating points can cause the Josephson tunnelling junctions to oscillate in different oscillation modes in very high frequencies. This can be achieved by considering the potential across the junction with its flux feedback. In order to model the magnetic flux effect, we use a memristor whose memductance function is considered as an exponential function. By varying the type of the bias current, we could observe the property of infinitely coexisting attractors in the memristor-fractal Josephson junction oscillator, which is considered as a rare phenomenon in physical circuits. The proposed Josephson-Memristor circuit model is developed, and its equilibrium points, bifurcation and Lyapunov exponents are computed. As an engineering application, modelling the trajectories of the moving object has been realized. First, the SURF algorithm, which is not affected by the scale and rotations of the object, is used in the images to identify an object that tracks the states of the proposed Josephson-Memristor circuit. In this way, the coordinates of the orbits on which the object moves were determined on the image. In order to reproduce the orbits of the specified object, the coordinate information of the object has been trained to the artificial neural network model and the orbits of the object have been reproduced.

     

Laser induced excited state properties of rubreneperoxide in solution

A number of photophysical properties of rubreneperoxide have been measured for the first time including the two-photon absorption, fluorescence, delayed fluorescence, and triplet-triplet absorption spectra. Singlet and triplet decay parameters of this molecule have also been measured. Three different photoperoxides of rubrene are formed. The results are discussed and compared to those of molecules.     

Laser-induced temperature dependent triplet state lifetime of rubreneperoxide

A number of photophysical properties of three different types of rubreneperoxides have been measured experimentally by flash spectroscopy technique, including the two-photon absorption, fluorescence, delayed fluorescence and temperature dependent triplet-triplet absorption spectra. Excited singlet and triplet state lifetimes are temperature dependent. Lowest triplet state lifetimes were measured from 77 K to 50 degrees C. Experimental observations showed that as we decreased the temperature of rubreneperoxides, most of the molecules migrate to the lowest vibrational and rotational energy levels of the ground electronic state. Similar migration is also observed for the lowest triplet state. Therefore at 77 K, we can get the clean absorption an emission spectra and decay curves for the lowest triplet state. At 50 degrees C, due to the P- and/or E-type of delayed fluorescences, decay of T(1) state, in other words disappearance of the T(1) state is becoming faster than at low temperature (below room temperature).     

Spectral image adaptation and visual experience of DBA/PMMA

High resolution S0-->Sn and T1-->Tn electronic absorptions and B-type delayed fluorescence of 1,2,7,8-dibenzanthracene in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) were experimentally observed by flash and laser flash photolysis technique. Dibenzanthracene (hereafter DBA) molecules were excited in a two-step process. In the first step, an excited singlet is created, which undergoes intersystem crossing to triplet state, then T-T absorption creates an excited triplet dibenzanthracene molecule, which returns to the first excited singlet level by intersystem crossing. The re-created first excited singlet of dibenzanthracene decays back to the ground state by emitting B-type of delayed fluorescence, which was observed at the same emission band of prompt (normal) fluorescence, and R-, E-, P-types of delayed fluorescences. For normal fluorescence, S1 state is decaying to S0 ground state. For E- and P-type of delayed fluorescences, T1 state is decaying to S0 via S1 state, and for B-type of delayed fluorescence, T2 state is decaying to S0 via S1 state. The spectrum image showing the absorption/emission bands mentioned was also examined by image processing techniques in order to improve the visual experience of each band by localizing to a specific region of interest (ROI). Experimental results illustrate how the exact location of emission/absorption bands was clearly extracted from the spectral image and further improvements in the visual detection of absorption/emission bands.     

Magnetic response of split-ring resonators in the far-infrared frequency regime

We report on the fabrication, through photolithography techniques, and the detailed characterization, through direct transmission measurements, of a periodic system composed of five layers of photolithographically aligned micrometer-sized Ag split-ring resonators (SRRs). The measured transmission spectra for propagation perpendicular to the SRRs plane show a gap around 6 THz for one of the two possible polarizations of the incident electric field; this indicates the existence of a magnetic resonance, which is verified by detailed theoretical analysis. To our knowledge this is the first time that a system of more than one layer of micrometer-sized SRRs has been fabricated. The measured optical spectra of the Ag microstructure are in very good agreement with the corresponding theoretical calculations.     

Optical T-T absorption of salicylidene-p-toluidine in solution

The observation of triplet-triplet absorption of salicylidene-p-toluidine, is complicated by the possible colored isomer formation during the optical pumping. The short-lived (singlet-singlet) and long-lived (triplet-triplet) absorption spectra were recorded phographically by microsecond flash and nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques. Salicylidene-aniline complexes were purified by repeated recrystallisation until further recrystallisation produced no further changes for X-ray diffraction pattern and optical absorption, emission properties.     

Theoretical study of left-handed behavior of composite metamaterials

We investigate numerically the transmission properties of 1D and 2D composite metamaterials (CMM) consisting of periodically arrangements of circular split-ring resonators (SRR) and wires. The theoretical methods used are the commercially available code Microwave Studio for transmission calculations and a retrieval procedure which gives the effective electric permittivity, , and magnetic permeability, μ, of the system. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with experimental data.
