Study on the optical limiting properties of the mixed liquid of carbon black suspensions and green tea solution by multi-pulse laser

The optical limiting properties of the mixed liquid of carbon black suspensions (CBS) and green tea solution were studied by using an 8 ns laser pulse at 532\,nm. The optical limiting effects of the CBS and mixed liquid have been compared between 5 and 10\,Hz repetition frequencies with nanosecond laser pulse. The experimental results indicate that the optical limiting threshold of the sample with the incidence laser at 10\,Hz repetition frequency is lower than at 5\,Hz repetition frequency. The possible reasons for the influence of the repetition frequency on the samples are discussed. And by observing the optical radiant distributions when the laser pulse passing through different samples, a possible mechanism for the observed effects is suggested. At the same time, the result shows that the optical limiting of CBS is the dominant factor to optical limiting of the mixed liquid.

Investigation of patch antennas based on drilled PBG structure

The method of finite-difference-time domain (FDTD) was used to study the characteristics of the patch antenna based on drilling air holes in the PBG substrate. The results obtained show that the waves propagating along the substrate surface can be suppressed by the drilled photonic crystal band gap (PBG) structure due to the influence of its forbidden band. The energy of the electromagnetic waves is concentrated mainly in the substrate. As a result, patch antennas based on drilling air holes in the PBG substrate have lower return losses (S11) in comparison with the conventional patch antennas; thus, a high gain is reached and the performance is improved. Due to such the advantages, the use of patch antennas can be extended to such fields as mobile communication, satellite communication, aviation, etc.     

Theoretical Investigation of Transparent (3–5 μm) and High Reflective (1.3 μm) Filter by Sol-Gel Process

When designing a cut-off interference filter, extra layers are needed to add on each side of periodic symmetrical multilayer to match the incident medium and the substrate. In this paper, we use sol-gel film with adjustable refractive index as the match layer. The influence of the refractive index and thickness of the match layer on the film system is discussed in detail. As an example, a special filter which is transparent (>80%) at the wavelength 3–5 m and high reflective (>90%) at the wavelength 1.3 m is designed. Finally a series of optimized film parameters are presented. The whole design process is a good reference to the other multilayer special filter made by sol-gel process.     

Gene expression profiling using advanced mass spectrometric approaches

In the era of systems biology, computational and high-throughput experimental biological approaches are increasingly being combined to provide global snapshots of entire genomes and proteomes under tissue- and disease-specific conditions. The aim is to identify proteins changing in concentration and/or post-translational state and/or location, and develop a better molecular level understanding of the operation of biological systems. Here we describe an approach for comparative proteomics that builds upon the combination of high-performance nano-scale separations with the high-mass measurement accuracy, mass-resolving power and sensitivity of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to provide broad dynamic range, comprehensive and quantitative proteome measurements.     

Regiospecific synthesis of bicyclo- and heterobicyclo-gem-difluorocyclobutenes using functionalized fluoroallenes and a novel Mo-catalyzed intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction

The first synthesis of functionalized gem-difluoroallenes 4 served as platform for an unprecedented molybdenum-catalyzed intramolecular allene-alkyne [2 + 2]-cycloaddition that produced 6, a hitherto unknown class of bicyclo- and heterobicyclo-CF2-containing cyclobutenes.     

Anomalous momentum dependence of the quasiparticle scattering rate in overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8

The question of the anisotropy of the electron scattering in high temperature superconductors is investigated using high resolution angle-resolved photoemission data from Pb-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) with suppressed superstructure. The scattering rate of low energy electrons along two bilayer-split pieces of the Fermi surface is measured (via the quasiparticle peak width), and no increase of scattering towards the antinode (pi,0) region is observed, contradicting the expectation from Q=(pi,pi) scattering. The results put a limit on the effects of Q=(pi,pi) scattering on the electronic structure of this overdoped superconductor with still very high T(c).     

Nature of the high-pressure transition in Fe2O3 hematite

We present a new method to separate the crystallographic and electronic phase transitions in hematite using x-ray emission spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Our observations, based on the behavior of a metastable high-pressure phase in the stability domain of the low-pressure phase, show that the electronic transition is preempted by the crystallographic transition. The former occurs only afterwards in the high-pressure phase, possibly as a result of a Mott transition. The idea that the electronic transition drives the transition in hematite is therefore invalidated. Such methods should help elucidate the mechanics and the driving forces behind a number of first-order high-pressure phase transitions.     

Electronic structure of the trilayer cuprate superconductor Bi(2)Sr(2)Ca(2)Cu(3)O(10+delta)

The low-energy electronic structure of the nearly optimally doped trilayer cuprate superconductor Bi(2)Sr(2)Ca(2)Cu(3)O(10+delta) is investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The normal state quasiparticle dispersion and Fermi surface and the superconducting d-wave gap and coherence peak are observed and compared with those of single- and bilayer systems. We find that both the superconducting gap magnitude and the relative coherence-peak intensity scale linearly with T(c) for various optimally doped materials.     

Ion-implanted Nd:YVO(4) planar waveguide: refractive-index characterization and propagation mode reduction

We report for what is believed to be the first time planar waveguide formation and propagation mode reduction in Nd:YVO(4) crystal, which were achieved by 3.0-MeV silicon-ion implantation followed by annealing under specific conditions. After the implantation, an enhanced refractive-index region was formed with a width of ~2microm beneath the sample surface to act as a waveguide structure. We found that there were four propagation modes for the as-implanted Nd:YVO(4) waveguide, whereas after annealing at 240-360 degrees C for several hours the number of modes could be reduced to three, two, and one. After annealing at 400 degrees C for 1 h the monomode waveguide was destroyed completely, and no mode was observed in the sample.
