Time-resolved laser-induced optical properties of didymium (a mixture of neodymium and praseodymium) doped zinc oxide phosphors have been studied using nitrogen laser as an excitation source at room as well as at liquid nitrogen temperatures. A comparison of optical properties (oscillator strength and dipole-moment) at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature has been done and is reported in this article. It is found that oscillator strength and dipole-moment values for doped ZnO are increasing with decreasing temperature. The increasing trend of the optical parameters obtained at liquid nitrogen temperature of the doped phosphors indicates increase in efficiency. 相似文献
In this paper an optical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with metamaterial for four and five layered structure is studied. The numerical results presented in this paper leads to a significant properties of metamaterials in sensing field. Computed results of SPR sensors using metamaterial are compared with conventional optical SPR sensors for four and five layered structure. It is seen that wider dynamic range or effective range of measurable refractive index increases when metamaterial layer is used. It is also verified that SPR sensor with metamaterial layer can dramatically enhance the resolution and reduce the reflectivity compared with conventional SPR. Validity of the magnetic field results is proved on the basis of smooth match of the fields in the different layers of the proposed optical SPR sensor. 相似文献
We present a detailed study to analyze the Dicke quantum phase transition within the thermodynamic limit for an optomechanically driven Bose-Einstein condensate in a cavity. The photodetection-based quantum optical measurements have been performed to study the dynamics and excitations of this optomechanical Dicke system. For this, we discuss the eigenvalue analysis, fluorescence spectrum and the homodyne spectrum of the system. It has been shown that the normal phase is negligibly affected by the mechanical mode of the mirror while it has a significant effect in the superradiant phase. We have observed that the eigenvalues and the spectra both exhibit distinct features that can be identified with the photonic, atomic and phononic branches. In the fluorescence spectra, we further observe an asymmetric coherent energy exchange between the three degrees of freedom of the system in the superradiant phase arising as a result of optomechanical interaction and Bloch-Siegert shift. 相似文献
We report here the total ionisation cross sections for CF3X and CF2X2 (X = H, Cl, Br and I) molecules by electron impact from ionisation threshold to 5 keV. The total inelastic cross section is obtained employing a quantum mechanical approach called spherical complex optical potential formalism. Then, using a semi-empirical complex scattering potential-ionisation contribution method, the ionisation cross section is derived from the inelastic cross section. The results obtained are compared with previous measurements and theoretical values, wherever available and a satisfactorily agreement is observed. The ionisation cross section values for CF2I2 molecule are reported for the first time. 相似文献
Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations offer a powerful means of understanding the microscopic characteristics of shock-propagation through solids and fluids, especially for the short spatial and temporal scales relevant to laser-driven shocks. First-principles molecular dynamics can be directly compared with time-resolved experimental measurements, and methods based on empirical (embedded-atom) potentials fitted to first-principles quantum-mechanical calculations are effective for MD simulations of shock propagation through many millions of atoms. In comparison, thermodynamic approaches based on free-energy considerations do not provide detailed information about mechanical-relaxation or phase-transformation processes within the shock front. We illustrate these ideas by way of embedded-atom simulations of shock-wave propagation through copper crystals of different orientation. 相似文献
A cunning and dangerous plan foiled! An enzyme‐specific molecular construct exploits the overexpression of β‐lactamase in several drug‐resistant bacteria. Specific photodynamic toxicity was detected towards β‐lactam‐resistant methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), whereby the usual mechanism for antibiotic resistance (cleavage of the β‐lactam ring) releases the phototoxic component from the prodrug (see picture; Q=quencher).
Sulphur containing compounds such as sodium thiosulphate (STS) and thioglycolic acid (TGA) inhibit the rate of cyanide substitution by nitroso-R-salt (NRS) in hexacyanoruthenate(II) catalysed by Hg(II) ions due to their strong binding tendencies with Hg(II) catalyst. This inhibitory effect of sodium thiosulphate and thioglycolic acid is used as the basis for their determination at micro levels. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at 525 nm (λmax of [Ru(CN)5NRS]3− complex) under optimised reaction conditions at 8.75 × 10− 5 M [Ru(CN)64−], 3.50 × 10− 4 M [NRS], pH 7.00 ± 0.02, ionic strength (µ) 0.1 M (KCl) and temp 45.0 ±0.1 °C. The modified mechanistic scheme is proposed to understand the inhibition caused by sulphur containing compounds (STS and TGA) on Hg(II) catalysed substitution of cyanide by NRS in [Ru(CN)6]4−. The range of analytical concentration of inhibitor depends upon two factors; the amount of Hg(II) catalyst present in the indicator reaction and the stability of the Hg(II)-inhibitor complex under consideration. Under optimum conditions STS and TGA have been determined in the range of 0.98-7.0 × 10− 6 M and 0.30-7.0 × 10− 6 M. The detection limits for STS and TGA were found to be 3.0 × 10− 7 M and 1.0 × 10− 7 M respectively. 相似文献
Two new phenol based macroacyclic Schiff base ligands, 2,6-bis({N-[2-(phenylselenato)ethyl]}benzimidoyl)-4-methylphenol (bpebmpH, 1) and 2,6-bis({N-[3-(phenylselenato)propyl]}benzimidoyl)-4-methylphenol (bppbmpH, 2) of the Se2N2O type have been prepared by the condensation of 4-methyl-2,6-dibenzoylphenol (mdbpH) with the appropriate (for specific reactions) phenylselenato(alkyl)amine. These ligands with Cu(II) acetate monohydrate in a 2:1 molar ratio in methanol form complexes of the composition [(C6H2(O)(CH3){(C6H5)CN(CH2)nSe(C6H5)}{(C6H5)CO}2Cu] (3 (n = 2), 4 (n = 3)) with the loss of phenylselenato(alkyl)amine and acetic acid. In both these complexes, one arm of the ligand molecule undergoes hydrolysis, and links with Cu(II) in a bidentate (NO) fashion, as confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography of complex 3. The selenium atoms do not form part of the copper(II) distorted square planar coordination sphere which has a trans-CuN2O2 core. The average Cu–N and Cu–O distances are, respectively, 1.973(3) and 1.898(2) Å. The N–Cu–N and O–Cu–O angles are, respectively, 167.4(11)° and 164.5(12)°. The compounds 1–4 have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, mass spectrometry, IR, electronic, 1H and 77Se{1H} NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The interaction of complex 3 with calf thymus DNA has been investigated by a spectrophotometric method and cyclic voltammetry. 相似文献
A spectrophotometric method for the determination of formaldehyde in air is described, based on the colour reaction of formaldehyde, p-aminoazobenzene and sulphur dioxide in hydrochloric acid medium. Beer's law is obeyed at 505 nm in the range 2-12 mug of formaldehyde per 25ml of final solution (0.08-0.48 ppm). Optimum conditions for colour development, and possible interferences, have been studied. 相似文献
