研究了退火温度对Se0.70Ge0.15Sb0.15薄膜的影响.通过热蒸发技术,在300K温度下将大块无定形Se0.70Ge0.15Sb0.1s沉积在石英和玻璃衬底上.研究发现,未经过退火处理的薄膜结构和在300K,1.33×10-5Pa下退火1小时后的薄膜结构都是无定形结构,而在同样气压470K温度下退火1小时的薄膜有结晶现象.通过在300 2 500nm范围内垂直入射光方向上透射率和反射率的测试,研究了薄膜的一些光学参数,如消光系数(k),折射系数(n)和吸收系数(a).研究发现,n和k同热处理温度有关.通过光学数据的分析,得到了不同条件下薄膜的间接带隙宽度(Enong),未经过热处理薄膜的Enong是1.715±0.021eV,300K下退火薄膜的Enong是1.643±0.021eV,470K下退火的Enong是1.527±0.021eV.退火温度降低了带隙宽度Enong,但增加了带尾eo这种效应可以根据Mott和Davis提出的多晶体系中态密度来解释.     

All-optical logic AND-NOR gate with three inputs based on cross-gain modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier

We report the realization of a novel all-optical logic AND-NOR gate based on cross-gain modulation (XGM). The used scheme requires only one SOA to perform the logic gate with three input signals. A 8.5 dB dynamic extinction ratio with a switching time of about 650 ps for the rise time and 100 ps for the fall time.     

High-power all-normal-dispersion femtosecond pulse generation from a Yb-doped large-mode-area microstructure fiber laser

We report on an all-normal-dispersion mode-locked fiber laser based on a large-mode-area Yb-doped microstructure fiber and using a high nonlinear modulation depth semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The laser delivers 3.3 W of average output power with positively chirped 5.5 ps pulses at a center wavelength of 1033 nm. The pulse repetition rate is 46.4 MHz, which results in an energy per pulse of 71 nJ. These pulses are extracavity dechirped down to 516 fs by using bulk gratings. The average power of the dechirped pulses is 2.3 W, which corresponds to a peak power of more than 96 kW.     

Possible spectroscopic manifestation of the angular group induced bond alteration (AGIBA) effect in toluene

The most obvious consequence of the concept of aromaticity is the common confidence that in aromatic compounds, bond lengths do not alternate and are between typical to the single and double ones. However, in 1994, performing crystal structure investigations of substituted pyridines and their salts, Krygowski and co‐workers have discovered a very surprising angular group induced bond alteration (AGIBA) effect: It appears that some angular substituents, like methoxy or nitrozo groups, can induce bond alternation in aromatic rings. Crystal studies do not allow one to operate with liquids that are more common in organic chemistry. This paper presents the first possible evidence of spectroscopic manifestations of the AGIBA effect. Raman spectra of the liquid toluene are analyzed. It is found that instead of being single, the line corresponding to the ring breathing vibrations is clearly split by 1.0–1.4 cm^?1, thus indicating the presence of two (cis‐ and trans‐) AGIBA isomers. The energy difference between these isomers estimated in temperature dependent Raman studies is found equal to 6.68 kJ mol^?1. The low‐wavenumber line therefore corresponds to the cis‐AGIBA isomer and the high‐wavenumber line to the trans‐AGIBA isomer stabilized by the AGIBA effect.

Proper general decomposition (PGD) for the resolution of Navier–Stokes equations

In this work, the PGD method will be considered for solving some problems of fluid mechanics by looking for the solution as a sum of tensor product functions. In the first stage, the equations of Stokes and Burgers will be solved. Then, we will solve the Navier–Stokes problem in the case of the lid-driven cavity for different Reynolds numbers (Re = 100, 1000 and 10,000). Finally, the PGD method will be compared to the standard resolution technique, both in terms of CPU time and accuracy.     

Entropy growth and degradation of entanglement due to phase decoherence in ion traps

We study how phase decoherence through intrinsic decoherence leads to growing entropy and a strong degradation of the maximum generated entanglement as a measure of information content of ionic state due to ion-laser interaction with a trapped ion. We calculate the partial entropy of the particle (atom or trapped ion) and field subsystems as well as the total entropy. The total entropy is shown to increase with time. Thus, the partial field or atomic entropy cannot be used as a direct measure of the particle–field entanglement. We find that, at least qualitatively, the difference between the total entropy and the sum of field and atom partial entropies can be used as an entanglement measure, when compared with an established entanglement measure based on the negativity of the eigenvalues of the partially transposed density matrix. We find a very strong sensitivity of the maximum generated entanglement on the decoherence and the chosen intrinsic decoherence parameter.
