Low-field magnetoresistance of Ag-substituted perovskite-type manganites

A series of bulk polycrystalline Nd_1−xAg_xMnO₃ samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction processing, for x between 0.1 and 0.5. The structure, magnetism, and magnetoresistance (MR) of the samples are investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the x=0.1 sample is a single perovskite structure, while x0.167, samples consist of a ferromagnetic perovskite phase and two nonmagnetic phases, Ag and Mn₃O₄. The MR of Nd_1−xAg_xMnO₃ is enhanced by increasing the composition of Ag. Compared with the sample of x=0.1, the x=0.5 sample has a significantly larger value of low-field MR. The enhanced low-field MR is related to the spin-dependent scattering of spin-polarized electrons at the interfaces between the perovskite grains and silver granules.     

High-resolution photorefractive gratings in nematic liquid crystals sandwiched with photoconductive polymer film

Photorefractive gratings with high grating resolution were observed in the 20 μm thick low-molar-mass nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cell with a separate photoconductive (PC) poly(N-vinylcarbazole) layer. An orientational grating with a grating spacing of 1.9 μm was produced. It is believed that a space–charge field with small fringe spacing forms in the PC layer and its evanescent component penetrates into the NLC layer. The penetrated evanescent field drives the NLC to reorient, and consequently the orientational grating forms. The model indicates that the modulated field exists in several hundred nanometers near the surface, and thus the orientational grating is not full of the NLC film, which is consistent with the observed phenomena of the multiple diffractions. Besides, asymmetric two-beam coupling of 11.2% was achieved for the grating with a grating spacing of 1.9 μm, and a net gain coefficient of larger than 62 cm⁻¹ was obtained.     

Transmission property for a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing a subwavelength layer and a nonlinear layer

Using the transfer matrix method, we investigate the transmission property of a one-dimensional photonic crystal doped with a linear subwavelength layer and a Kerr-type nonlinear layer. We find that a thin film of subwavelength layer can significantly modify the characteristic of optical bistability. We also find that the sequence of the thin film and the nonlinear layer has a major impact on the hysteretic behavior. With the investigations to the linear defect mode and the electric field distribution in the nonlinear material, we explain these phenomena.

Facile liquid phase deposition of thick reflective GeO2 film for hollow waveguide delivery of CO2 laser radiation

A new idea of using LPD (liquid phase deposition) to prepare a GeO₂ thick reflective film for hollow waveguide delivery of CO₂ laser radiation was investigated in this work. The LPD process was achieved by designedly adding acid to GeO₂–aqueous ammonia. The addition of acid could induce the transformation of germanate ions into GeO₂ solutes, leading to the deposition of a GeO₂ ceramic film when the concentration of GeO₂ solute is higher than its saturation solubility. It was found that the highest film growth rate occurred at a pH value of 3, while a film with low surface roughness and good adhesion to the substrate was produced at a pH value of 2 and the film could be converted to a smooth, compact hexagonal GeO₂ film by heat treatment at 1120 °C for 30 min. Two abnormal dispersion bands within 7.6–9 μm and 9.6–11.2 μm were mainly caused by the silica glass substrate and the GeO₂ film, respectively. The film was thick enough to achieve the total reflectance of the CO₂ laser radiation. The use of this GeO₂ film in a hollow waveguide structure for CO₂ laser radiation delivery is discussed based on the transmission loss and the feasibility of the deposition of the GeO₂ film inside silica capillary tubes. The results show that the hollow waveguides with low transmission loss are most likely fabricated at a low cost using the LPD-derived GeO₂ reflective film.

Fluorinated nanoporous SiO2 films with ultra-low dielectric constant

Fluorinated nanoporous silica (denoted as SiO₂:F) thin films with low dielectric constant were prepared by a sol-gel method and spin coating technique. The leakage current densities of the SiO₂:F thin films were 10⁻⁸ and 3 × 10⁻⁶ A/cm² respectively for the as-deposited films and for those subjected to annealing at a temperature of 450 °C. These currents are more than one order of magnitude lower than those of the common SiO₂ films. Photoluminescent results showed strong blue-light emission and a small blue shift in the SiO₂:F films that were related to the increment of the porosity. The dielectric properties were also characterized and the k value of the annealed SiO₂:F film was found to be about 1.67. The hole size in the films is small and the size distribution is uniform for the annealed SiO₂:F samples due to the effects of fluorination. The underlying mechanism for fluorination is discussed in this paper.
