A line-broadening analysis model for the microstructural characterization of nanocrystalline materials from asymmetric x-ray diffraction peaks

Nanograin sizes and crystal lattice microstrains in nanocrystalline materials are typically evaluated from the broadening of their x-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks under the assumption of symmetrical diffraction profiles. Since this assumption is not entirely satisfactory, we formulate a line-broadening analysis model of a single peak that considers explicitly the XRD peak asymmetry. The model is a generalization of the variance method in which the shape of the XRD peaks is idealized through asymmetrical split pseudo-Voigt functions. The model is validated on two nanocrystalline powders.

针对大口径非球面主反射镜（简称主镜）的装调要求,对比分析常用大口径非球面面形检测方法,提出该类主镜检测面形的最佳方案。在主镜的装调过程中,通过对主镜的固定方式和主镜变形补偿这2个关键环节的阐述,总结主镜固定的难点及主镜变形的原因,提出一套全新的装调方案,以旋转消重力法进行检测,并用专用工装实时定心调节,再用辅料焊接法固定主镜与中心轴,最后采用辅助支撑对主镜组件进行最终固定修正。装调结果表明:对于大口径非球面反射镜,装调完成后的主镜面形精度Rms0.03（＝632.8 nm）。     

Experimental investigation on the competition between wideband stimulated Brillouin scattering and forward stimulated Raman scattering in water

The utilization of a simple focused optical cell to bring to light the competition between wideband stimulated Brillouin scattering (WSBS) and forward stimulated Raman scattering (FSRS) is investigated experimentally. A pulsed, wide bandwidth second-harmonic Nd:YAG laser is used as the pump source. We found that, the competition between WSBS and FSRS is an alternate process, which one dominated depends on the linewidth and energy of the pump laser, focal length, and optical breakdown.

Spin disorder scattering in magnetic metallic alloys

Anomalous behavior of the resistivity at or just below the Néel temperature in antiferromagnetic metals is usually attributed to the formation of superzone gaps. However, we find that RMn12-xFex alloys which have no such gaps exhibit a similarly anomalous resistivity. We show that electron scattering by substitutional spin disorder can account for such behavior of itinerant magnets. This mechanism, which has not been studied before, leads to a relaxation rate that is proportional to x(12-x)m(2), where m is the staggered magnetization. Together with spin fluctuations, phonon, and impurity scattering, it accounts well for the resistivity data we obtain for HoMn12-xFex, for 0< or =x< or =9, in the temperature range of 4 to 400 K.     

Energy band structure of spin-1 condensates in optical lattices

The energy band structure of spin-1 condensates with repulsive spin-independent and either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic spin-dependent interactions in one-dimensional (1D) periodic optical lattices is discussed. Within the two-mode approximation, Bloch bands of spin-1 condensates are presented. The results show that the Bloch bands exhibit a complex structure as the atom density of m F=0 hyperfine state increases: bands splitting, reversion, intersection and loop structure are excited subsequently. The complex band structure should be related to the tunneling and spin-mixing dynamics.     

Three-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals of titania hollow spheres at visible wavelengths

A non-close-packed three-dimensional photonic crystal of titania hollow spheres has been fabricated. The fabricated process is based on the silica template technique, thermal sintering, and the sol–gel process. The band-structure calculations and optical measurements both indicate that a quasi-full three-dimensional photonic bandgap located at the visible wavelength has been presented between the eighth and ninth bands. This indicates that the non-close-packed structure of titania hollow spheres was easier to open the complete photonic bandgaps than other face-centered cubic structures made by self-assembling methods at the visible region.     

Facile method for CLSM imaging unfunctionalized Au nanoparticles through fluorescent channels

The microscopic visualization of metal nanoparticles has become a useful tool for the investigation of their applications in cell labeling and the study of their bio-effects. In the current study, we have developed a facile method with confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) to observe unfunctionalized Au nanoparticles through fluorescent channels. The sharp reflected signal and photostable property of the metal nanoparticles makes the present method very ideal for fluorescent co-localization, real-time imaging, and further quantitative analysis.

New type of Y-branch power splitter and beam expander based on eliminating anomalous reflection effect

We propose a new type of Y-branch power splitter and beam expander with scales of microns in two- dimensional （2D） photonic crystals （PCs） by drilling air holes in a silicon slice. Its functionality and performance are numerically investigated and simulated by finite-difference time-domain （FDTD） method. Simulation results show that the splitter can split a TE polarized light beam into two parallel sub-beams and the distance between them is tunable by changing the parameters of the splitter, while the expander can expand a narrow beam into a wider one, which is realized in an integrated optical circuit. The proposed device is based on the avoiding of anomalous reflection effect and the coupling transmission of defect modes of the interfaces.
