Design and construction of a compact end-station at NSRRC for circular-dichroism spectra in the vacuum-ultraviolet region

A synchrotron‐radiation‐based circular‐dichroism end‐station has been implemented at beamline BL04B at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) in Taiwan for biological research. The design and performance of this compact end‐station for measuring circular‐dichroism spectra in the vacuum‐ultraviolet region are described. The linearly polarized light from the beamline is converted to modulated circularly polarized light with a LiF photoelastic modulator to provide a usable wavelength region of 130–330 nm. The light spot at the sample position is 5 mm × 5 mm at a slit width of 300 µm and provides a flux greater than 1 × 10¹¹ photons s^?1 (0.1% bandwidth)^?1. A vacuum‐compatible cell made of two CaF₂ windows has a variable path length from 1.3 µm to 1 mm and a temperature range of 253–363 K. Measured CD spectra of (1S)‐(+)‐10‐camphorsulfonic acid and proteins demonstrated the ability of this system to extend the wavelength down to 172 nm in aqueous solution and 153 nm in hexafluoro‐2‐propanol.     

Structures and electronic properties of stoichiometric hydrogenatedaluminum clusters

The lowest-energy geometries and electronic-structure properties have been obtained for Al_nH_n (n=1-10) clusters within the density-functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange correlation potential. The resulting geometries show that the hydrogen atoms tend to occupy outside positions and no hollow positions are found. The subunit Al_n of Al_nH_n (n=1-5) have little distortion, in comparison with corresponding pure Al_n cluster, whereas the subunit Al_n have large distortion from n=6. The stability has been investigated by analyzing the binding energy per atom and the second difference in energy, indicating that Al₈H₈ exhibit higher stability than others. The bonding property has been analyzed by calculating the Mulliken charges and Al–H distances. The calculated energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO), the vertical ionization potential, and the vertical electron affinity also confirm that Al₈H₈ is a stable cluster. The density of states (DOS) shows that Al_nH_n exhibit changes from molecular-like (Al₁H₁) to band-like structure (Al₁₀H₁₀) as n increases.     

A strain-induced birefringent double-clad fiber Bragg grating

A strain-induced birefringence double-clad (DC) fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated.The grating is fabricated in the core of rectangular inner cladding double clad fiber by using phase mask method. By applying lateral strain on the grating, the birefringence is induced. In order to detect the birefringent effect of the grating, we use it as the output mirror of a laser. When lateral strain is applied,the grating becomes birefringent. Therefore, one reflection peak of double-clad fiber Bragg grating becomes two peaks and the laser also lases in two wavelengths. The wavelength spacing of the laser can be tuned from 0 to 0.8 nm. The absolute wavelengths for the two polarizations can be tuned 1.2 and 2.0 nm,respectively.     

Raman probe studies of Nd: YAlG laser generated non-equilibrium excitations in GaAs

A survey is presented of the non-equilibrium excitations in GaAs that can be probed by Raman scattering. Intense Q-switched Nd:YAlG laser pulses are used both for generating the non-equilibrium excitations at low temperature, and for in-situ Raman scattering probe measurements. Particular emphasis is placed on the search for non-equilibrium, zone-edge slow TA phonons. We discovered that the difference frequency combination spectrum involving slow TA phonons is surprisingly coincident with the acceptor excitation line spectrum for the Zn impurity. The discrimination between the non-equilibrium phonon population and a non-equilibrium hole population on minority acceptors in n-GaAs is discussed.     

Nonlinear stability of circular vortex patches

This paper proves that circular vortex patches in the plane are stable for the nonlinear dynamical system generated by the Euler equations of incompressible fluids. This is achieved by establishing a relative variational principle in terms of either energy or angular momentum. Thus, we exploit and extend Arnold's idea in (1965, 1969) to a nonsmooth setting as well.Research partially supported by DOE contract DE-AT03-82ER12097 to the University of California, Berkeley
