Functional Ag porous films prepared by electrospinning

Face-centered cubic Ag porous films have been prepared directly from the heat treatment of AgNO₃-doped poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) electrospun nanofibers. Using Rhodamine B (RB) as the probing molecule, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of Ag porous films was demonstrated. The antibacterial activity of Ag porous films was also studied in this work. The propagation and biological activity of yeast cells were effectively inhibited by Ag porous films. These functional Ag porous films were expected to be applied in many fields, such as catalysis, diagnostics, sensors and antibacterial, etc.

Thermal-induced nonlinear optical characteristics of ethanol solution doped with silver nanoparticles

The investigation of nonlinear optical characteristics of ethanol solution doped with is presented. A large thermal-induced third-order nonlinear refractive index up to silver nanoparticles 1.941× 10^-7 cm2/W is obtained from the mixed solution under 488-nm continue wave （CW） laser irradiation, which may result from surface plasmon resonance （SPR） enhancement effect of silver nanoparticles as well as high thermo-optic coefficient and low thermal conductivity of ethanol. Obvious spatial self-phase modulation and influence of thermal-induced negative lens effect are observed when a beam propagates through this solution, indicating promising applications such as optical limiting, beam flattening, and so on.     

Optical and mechanical properties of AlF3 films produced by pulse magnetron sputtering of Al targets with CF4/O2 gas

In this study, AlF₃ thin films were deposited by pulse magnetron sputtering of Al targets with different ratios of CF₄/O₂ gas and at different sputtering powers. The optical and mechanical properties of the AlF₃ thin films were analyzed. The transmittance spectra showed no obvious negative inhomogeneous refractive indices. Denser films with a low optical absorption were obtained when high sputtering powers were used (larger than 30 W). The lowest extinction coefficient (7.3 × 10⁻⁴ at 193 nm) of the films can be reached with 12 sccm O₂ flow rate and at 160W sputtering power. All of the residual stresses were compressive and their trends were consistent with the refractive indices. The lowest compressive stress (0.068 GPa) was obtained when the AlF₃ films were prepared at 160W sputtering power.     

Some issues in a gauge model of unparticles

We address in a recent gauge model of unparticles the issues that are important for consistency of a gauge theory, i.e., unitarity and the Ward identity of the physical amplitudes. We find that non-integrable singularities arise in physical quantities like the cross section and the decay rate from the gauge interactions of unparticles. We also show that the Ward identity is violated due to the lack of a dispersion relation for charged unparticles although the Ward–Takahashi identity for general Green functions is incorporated in the model. A previous observation that the contribution of the unparticle (with scaling dimension d) to the gauge boson self-energy is a factor (2−d) of the particle’s self-energy has been extended to the Green function of triple gauge bosons. This (2−d) rule may be generally true for Green functions for any number of points of the gauge bosons. This implies that the model would be trivial even as one that mimics certain dynamical effects on gauge bosons in which unparticles serve as an interpolating field.     

LPCVD法制备的高纯半绝缘4H-SiC晶体ESR谱特性

利用电子自旋共振波谱（ESR）仪,分析由低压化学气相沉积（LPCVD）法制备的高纯半绝缘4H-SiC材料本征缺陷.结果发现,在暗场条件下获得的缺陷信息具有碳空位（V_C）及其络合物的特征;谱线具有半高宽较大、峰谷明显不对称的特点.分析认为造成ESR谱线半高宽较大及峰谷不对称现象的主要原因是测试温度较高.同时,吸收谱中峰谷不对称现象及较大半高宽现象的出现还与不对称的晶格结构及缺陷浓度的不均匀分布有关.在110 K测试温度下,能级上的电子分布对ESR谱特性影响很小. 关键词： 低压化学气相沉积 高纯半绝缘4H-SiC 电子自旋共振 本征缺陷
