Mechanism transition of self-pumped phase conjugation in KTa1 −xNbxO3:Fe crystals

Mechanism transitions of Self-Pumped Phase Conjugation (SPPC) with wavelength and doping concentration are observed in KTN:Fe (KTa_{1 –x} Nb _x O₃:Fe with _x = 0.48) crystals. The SPPC mechanism in KTN: Fe (0.4 wt. %) crystal transforms from Stimulated Photorefractive Backscattering and Four-Wave Mixing (SPB-FWM) to cat (or total internal reflection) as the wavelength increases from 514.5 nm to 620 nm. SPPC at 514.5 nm is formed with the cat mechanism in a 0.2 wt. % doped KTN:Fe crystal, while with the SPB-FWM mechanism in a 0.4 wt. % doped one. These mechanism transitions are discussed with respect to the dependence of the backscattering gain coefficient of the crystals on wavelength and doping concentration.     

Sensitivity analysis of the greatest eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix via the ɛ-subdifferential of the associated convex quadratic form

LetA(·) be ann × n symmetric affine matrix-valued function of a parameteruR ^m , and let (u) be the greatest eigenvalue ofA(u). Recently, there has been interest in calculating (u), the subdifferential of atu, which is useful for both the construction of efficient algorithms for the minimization of (u) and the sensitivity analysis of (u), namely, the perturbation theory of (u). In this paper, more generally, we investigate the Legendre-Fenchel conjugate function of (·) and the -subdifferential (u) of atu. Then, we discuss relations between the set (u) and some perturbation bounds for (u).The author is deeply indebted to Professor J. B. Hiriart-Urruty who suggested this study and provided helpful advice and constant encouragement. The author also thanks the referees and the editors for their substantial help in the improvement of this paper.     

Modular synthesis of chiral homo- and heterotrisoxazolines. Improving the enantioselectivity in the asymmetric Michael addition of indole to benzylidene malonate

A simple approach to a diverse set of chiral trisoxazolines is described. Deprotonation of bisoxazolines 2, followed by treatment of 2-chloromethyloxazolines 3, affords chiral trisoxazolines, including chiral homo- and hetero-trisoxazolines in good to high yields. These trisoxazolines are successfully applied in the asymmetric reaction of indole with benzylidene malonate, and ee's up to 93% were obtained.

Unprecedented double C-C bond cleavage of a cyclopentadienyl ligand

Double C-C bond cleavage of a cyclopentadienyl ligand proceeded to titanacyclopentadienes when 2 equiv of nitriles were added and the resulting two-carbon unit and three-carbon unit were converted into a benzene derivative and a pyridine derivative, respectively, in one-pot.
