COHERENT OPTICAL PHONON EXCITATION BY FEMTOSECOND LASER PULSE IN YBa2Cu3O7-δ THIN FILMS

With a correlation of nonequilibrium carriers relaxation and coherent phonons displacive excitation, the coherent optical phonon oscillations in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ thin films excited by femtosecond laser pulse are simulated theoretically. It is revealed that as the oxygen concentration decreases, the coherent phonon oscillations become easier to be observed due to the decrease of the local coupling between the carriers and the lattice vibrations in the CuO₂ plane.

Facility for preparation of gas mixture in muon catalyzed fusion experiments

A facility is described that allows safe handling of high tritium gas activity as dozens kilocuries in a regular laboratory environment. It is used to make and deliver into the target a mixture of specific isotopic composition with the contamination requirement of 10^-7 v.f. for Z>1 elements, and recover it upon completion of operation. With this facility, efforts have been accomplished to investigate into the muon catalyzed fusion on two targets – liquid tritium and high-pressure tritium types. Also, the operation range was 0.1–120 MPa for pressure and 20–800 K for temperature and the amount of tritium used was about 100 kCi. The facility showed reliability in operation without indications of radiation beyond the safety level. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Highly sensitive room-temperature method of non-invasive in vivo detection of magnetic nanoparticles

Methods of non-invasive in vivo quantification of magnetic nanoparticles (MP) have been proposed and realized. The methods are based on non-linear MP magnetization at two frequencies and measuring the response at combinatorial frequencies. The first method is developed for real-time study of MP dynamics and their clearance from the blood system of animals. High sensitivity of 3 ng of Fe₃O₄ in 0.1 ml was achieved for MP detection in mice tail veins. The second technique is proposed for MP detection inside animal tissues by an external probe. The proposed methods could essentially widen capabilities of biomedical research which involves magnetic nanoparticles.     

Magnetic and Electrical Transport Properties of Sr1-xLaxRuO3 (0≤x≤0.10)

We investigate the lightly doped polycrystalline Sr1-χLaχRuO3 （χ = 0, 0.02, 0.08 and 0.10）. With La doping, the ferromagnetism in the system has been suppressed. The transition temperature is T＇c at which the long-range ferromagnetism establishes and the magnetization under 3 T at 5 K decreases with increasing χ. In contrast to Sr1-χCaχRuO3, the samples remain with the PM-FM transition at 162K, which might be attributed to the valency change of Ru.
