Enhancement and Suppression of Four-Wave Mixing in a Four-Level Atomic System

We report observations of the enhancement and suppression of four-wave mixing （FWM） in an electromagnetically induced transparency window in a Y-type ^85 Rb atomic system. The results show the evolution of the dressed effects （from pure enhancement to partial enhancement/suppression, and finally into pure suppression） in the degenerate-FWM processes. Moreover, we use the perturbation chain method to describe the FWM process. Finally, we observe the polarization dependence of the enhancement and suppression of the FWM signal.     

Superferromagnetic state of α-Fe in Fe implanted Co6Ag94 studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy

After having introduced by ion implantation ⁵⁷Fe to a local concentration of 7 at% into Co₆Ag₉₄, we observed it by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy in the as-prepared state and after isochronal annealing. A superferromagnetic state is inferred, which is correlated with the ordering of the magnetic moments on the Fe clusters through chain-like or dendritic Co/Fe linear structures. The magnetic moment disordering temperature lies above 473 K.

Electronic properties of iron arsenic high temperature superconductors revealed by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)

We present an overview of the electronic properties of iron arsenic high temperature superconductors with emphasis on low energy band dispersion, Fermi surface and superconducting gap. ARPES data is compared with full-potential linearized plane wave (FLAPW) calculations. We focus on single layer NdFeAsO_0.9F_0.1 (R1111) and two layer Ba_1?xK_xFe₂As₂ (B122) compounds. We find general similarities between experimental data and calculations in terms of character of Fermi surface pockets, and overall band dispersion. We also find a number of differences in details of the shape and size of the Fermi surfaces as well as the exact energy location of the bands, which indicate that magnetic interaction and ordering significantly affects the electronic properties of these materials. The Fermi surface consists of several hole pockets centered at Γ and electron pockets located in zone corners. The size and shape of the Fermi surface changes significantly with doping. Emergence of a coherent peak below the critical temperature T_c and diminished spectral weight at the chemical potential above T_c closely resembles the spectral characteristics of the cuprates, however the nodeless superconducting gap clearly excludes the possibility of d-wave order parameter. Instead it points to s-wave or extended s-wave symmetry of the order parameter.     

Dome效应对四孔大气相干长度仪系统性能的影响

以水平方向距仪器1 000 m的卤钨灯为光源,通过同步对比实验探究了两台四孔大气相干长度仪的系统性能。实验结果表明,由它们测得的大气相干长度的大小和总体变化趋势能够较好吻合,相关性系数均在0.94以上,具有较好的一致性。在此基础上,进一步研究了Dome效应对该系统性能的影响。该效应的影响主要表现在使大气相干长度变小,其强度则由系统沿光路方向移动的距离决定。当移动距离小于15 cm时,Dome效应较弱,不会对实验结果产生明显影响;在距离从15 cm增至55 cm的过程中,其强度不断增加,并在55 cm处达到最强,此后则不再随距离的增加而变化。在整个实验过程中,实验结果的相关系数始终在0.9以上,即Dome效应对大气相干长度的总体变化趋势没有明显影响。     

枪晶石变温拉曼光谱及其固液相微结构研究

枪晶石在传统冶金连铸保护渣中起着十分重要的作用。采用紫外激光光源和电荷耦合器件(CCD)探测器,测定了枪晶石晶体和高温拉曼光谱(温度范围:298~1 723 K),观察了其在变温状态(升温和降温过程)下的特征谱变化。谱图结果显示,枪晶石熔态微结构单元与固态的相比更为多元化,表明熔体状态下多种团簇结构共存。同时,利用枪晶石晶胞结构模型,通过Dmol3密度泛函(DFT)理论计算了其分子振动频率,将其与实验值相结合,确定了特征谱峰的归属,为进一步采用拉曼光谱法原位研究保护渣中枪晶石的结构变化与行为特征提供了重要依据。     

Structural and elastic properties of Ce2O3 under pressure from LDA+U method

We investigate the structural and elastic properties of hexagonal Ce₂O₃ under pressure using LDA+U scheme in the frame of density functional theory (DFT). The obtained lattice constants and bulk modulus agree well with the available experimental and other theoretical data. The pressure dependences of normalized lattice parameters a/a ₀ and c/c ₀, ratio c/a, and normalized primitive volume V/V ₀ of Ce₂O₃ are obtained. Moreover, the pressure dependences of elastic properties and three anisotropies of elastic waves of Ce₂O₃ are investigated for the first time. We find that the negative value of C ₄₄ is indicative of the structural instability of the hexagonal structure Ce₂O₃ at zero temperature and 30 GPa. Finally, the density of states (DOS) of Ce₂O₃ under pressure is investigated.

Difference-frequency ultrasound generation from microbubbles under dual-frequency excitation

The difference-frequency (DF) ultrasound generated by using parametric effect promises to improve detection depth owing to its low attenuation, which is beneficial for deep tissue imaging. With ultrasound contrast agents infusion, the harmonic components scattered from the microbubbles, including DF, can be generated due to the nonlinear vibration. A theoretical study on the DF generation from microbubbles under the dual-frequency excitation is proposed in formula based on the solution of the RPNNP equation. The optimisation of the DF generation is discussed associated with the applied acoustic pressure, frequency, and the microbubble size. Experiments are performed to validate the theoretical predictions by using a dual-frequency signal to excite microbubbles. Both the numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the optimised DF ultrasound can be achieved as the difference frequency is close to the resonance frequency of the microbubble and improve the contrast-to-tissue ratio in imaging.
