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.     

基于激光雷达观测的大气边界层自动识别局部最优点算法

大气边界层高度是影响近地面大气物理运动的主要因素,同时也是影响地面污染物浓度的一个重要因素。地基激光雷达可以对大气气溶胶的垂直分布进行连续稳定的监测,应用激光雷达技术对大气边界层进行连续观测可以为环境监测与预报提供指导性的动态信息。针对存在残留层以及外来污染物输入情况时边界层高度变化检测的可靠性及计算效率问题,结合梯度法的物理意义与激光雷达时序图的图形图像学特征,提出了一种基于时空邻近度的边界层局部最优点识别算法。以江苏省无锡市新区偏振米散射激光雷达太湖观测站点的气溶胶垂直观测数据为例,通过对2012年底两次污染事件进行观测分析,分别使用梯度法和局部最优点法进行大气边界层高度的自动识别。实验结果表明,在静稳状态和污染混入后的情况下,梯度法与局部最优点识别法的结果较为接近,但梯度法在处理污染混入状态以及存在残留层的情况下误判率较高。基于时空邻近度的局部最优点算法通过对垂直特征值以及水平相关性的控制,有效地消除了在弱信号、噪声信号、低云以及存在残留层和外来污染等情况下导致的计算机误判现象,在减小算法时间复杂度的同时在计算机自动识别结果具有更高的稳定性,弥补了梯度法在自动化运行中的识别精度与计算效率的不足。

Spectral properties and energy transfer of Yb,Er:GdVO4 crystal

GdVO₄ single crystal co-doped with Yb³⁺ and Er³⁺ was grown by the Czochralski method. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of Yb,Er:GdVO₄ crystal confirms that the as-grown crystal is isostructural with pure GdVO₄ crystal. Its polarized absorption spectra and non-polarized fluorescence spectra were measured at room temperature. The absorption band at 984 nm for π-polarization has an FWHM of about 36 nm, which is favorable for InGaAs LD laser pumping. The spectrum properties of Er³⁺ in Yb,Er:GdVO₄ crystal were investigated based on Judd–Ofelt theory. There is strong energy transfer from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺ in this crystal. When excited with 980 nm radiation, this crystal emitted strong fluorescence at about 1529 nm and 552.5 nm. The total energy transfer rate and efficiency from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺ is 3.33 ms^-1 and 67%, respectively. The energy transfer between Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ ions is a multistep transfer process, and was investigated based on a random-walk model. The investigation result shows that there is strong cooperative-sensitization effect from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺, which is the main upconversion energy-transfer process in this crystal.

Direct mass measurements of neutron-deficient 152Sm projectile fragments at the FRS-ESR facility

The FRS-ESR facility at GSI provides one of the most efficient methods for direct mass measurements. In the present experiment, exotic nuclei were produced via fragmentation of ¹⁵²Sm projectiles in a thick beryllium target at 500-600 MeV/u, separated in-flight with the fragment separator FRS, and injected into the storage-cooler ring ESR. Time-resolved Schottky Mass Spectrometry was applied for mass measurements of stored and electron-cooled bare and few-electron ions. 373 different nuclides were identified by means of the spectra of their revolution frequencies. Masses for 18 nuclides (⁸⁴Zr, ⁹²Ru, ⁹⁴Rh, ^107,108,110Sb, ^111,112,114I, ¹¹⁸Ba, ^122,123La, ¹²⁴Ce, ¹²⁷Pr, ¹²⁹Nd, ¹³²Pm, ¹³⁴Sm, ¹³⁷Eu) have been determined for the first time. Masses for ^111,112I and ¹¹³Xe have been obtained via known α-decay energies. The experiment and first results will be presented.     

The investigation of photoluminescence centers in porous alumina membranes

To investigate the origin of blue photoluminescence (PL) in porous alumina membrane, we have prepared an anodic aluminum oxide film with a pore diameter of 40 nm in oxalic acid solution by a two-step anodization process. Our results show that the as-prepared alumina membrane is amorphous and exhibits a broad emission band peaking at around 452 nm with two sub-peaks located at 443 nm and 470 nm. As indicated by the PL excitation spectra, there are two excitation peaks which can account for the sub-peaks observed in the PL emission band. We have proposed that the broad emission band with two sub-peaks can be attributed to two luminescence centers in porous alumina membranes, namely, oxygen defects and oxalic impurities. Furthermore, we have rationalized that the two emission centers show similar influence on the PL band in the blue region based on a simple model. PACS 81.07.-b; 81.16.Dn; 79.60.Jv     

4.44 W of CW 515 nm green light generated by intracavity frequency doubling Yb:YAG thin disk laser with LBO

We demonstrate the generation of 515 nm green laser with diode-pumped Yb:YAG thin disk by intracavity frequency doubling of type-I phase-matched LiB₃O₅(LBO) in a V-type cavity at room temperature. A continuous-wave (CW) output power of 4.44 W at 515 nm was obtained. Optical-optical efficiency of 515 nm green laser is 14.6%. The fluctuation of green laser was 1.6% at the maximum output power in 0.5 h. Thermal lensing effects in Yb:YAG thin disk are investigated too.     

The modified propagation equation for TM polarized subwavelength spatial solitons in a nonlinear planar waveguide

The wave equation of TM polarized subwavelength beam propagations in a nonlinear planar waveguide is derived beyond the paraxial approximation. This modified equation contains more higher-order linear and nonlinear terms than the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The propagation of fundamental subwavelength spatial solitons is numerically studied. It is shown that the effect of the higher nonlinear terms is significant. That is, for the propagation of narrower beam the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation is more suitable than the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

Spin-polarized transport in one-dimensional waveguide structures with spatially-periodic electronic and magnetic fields

We investigate theoretically the spin-polarized transport in one-dimensional waveguide structure with spatially-periodic electronic and magnetic fields. The interplay of the spin-orbit interaction and in-plane magnetic field significantly modifies the spin-dependent transmission and the spin polarization. The in-plane magnetic fields increase the strength of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling effect for the electric fields along y axis and decrease this effect for reversing the electric fields, even counteract the Rashba spin-orbit coupling effect. It is very interesting to find that we may deduce the strength of the Rashba effect through this phenomenon.     

Simulation and fabrication of carbon nanotubes field emission pressure sensors

A novel field emission pressure sensor has been achieved utilizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the electron source. The sensor consists of the anode sensing film fabricated by wet etching process and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) cathode in the micro-vacuum chamber. MWNTs on the silicon substrate were grown by thermal CVD. The prototype pressure sensor has a measured sensitivity of about 0.17-0.77 nA/Pa (101-550 KPa). The work shows the potential use of CNTs-based field-emitter in microsensors, such as accelerometers and tactile sensors.
