Optical properties of Dy ions in sodium gadolinium tungstates crystal

Dy³⁺-doped NaGd(WO₄)₂ crystal with sizes of about Φ20×40 mm² was grown by the Czochralski technique along the (0 0 1) orientation. Polarized absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence decay curve of Dy³⁺-doped NaGd(WO₄)₂ have been recorded at room temperature. Based on the Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory, the intensity parameters from the measured line strengths were evaluated. The J-O parameters were used to predict radiative transition probabilities, radiative lifetimes and branching ratios for various excited levels of Dy³⁺-doped NaGd(WO₄)₂ crystal. The luminescent quantum efficiency of the ⁴F_9/2 level was determined to be approximately 63% for this material. The emission cross-section of the ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 transition was estimated by using the Füchtbauer-Ladengurg method.     

NO dissociation pathways on Rh(1 0 0), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1) surfaces: A comparative density functional theory study

The chemisorption and dissociation pathways of NO on the Rh(1 0 0), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1) surfaces are studied by the plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) with CASTEP program. In addition, the electronic and geometrical effects that affect the NO dissociation reactions have been investigated in detail. The calculation results are presented as following: The effective activation energies of the best NO dissociation pathways on the Rh(1 0 0), the Rh(1 1 0), and the Rh(1 1 1) are 0.63, 0.66 and 1.77 eV, respectively. The activity of the Rh planes for NO dissociation is in the order of Rh(1 0 0) ≈ Rh(1 1 0) > Rh(1 1 1). The low dissociation barrier for Rh(1 0 0) and Rh(1 1 0) is associated with the existence of a lying-down NO structure which acts as a precursor for dissociation. By Mulliken population analysis and structure analysis, both electronic and geometrical effects are found to affect the NO dissociation reactions, but the geometrical effect exceed the electronic. The energy decomposition scheme has been used to provide further insight into the NO dissociation reactions. Based on the calculations, the interaction energy between N and O in the transition state on the Rh(1 1 1) is found much larger than that on the Rh(1 0 0) and the Rh(1 1 0). The major differences of should originate from the variation of the bonding competition effect.     

Global synchronization of general delayed complex networks with stochastic disturbances

In this paper, global synchronization of general delayed complex networks with stochastic disturbances, which is a zero-mean real scalar Wiener process, is investigated. The networks under consideration are continuous-time networks with time-varying delay. Based on the stochastic Lyapunov stability theory, It?'s differential rule and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization technique, several delay-dependent synchronous criteria are established, which guarantee the asymptotical mean-square synchronization of drive networks and response networks with stochastic disturbances. The criteria are expressed in terms of LMI, which can be easily solved using the Matlab LMI Control Toolbox. Finally, two examples show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronous conditions.     

Growth,spectroscopic and laser properties of Yb<Superscript>3<Emphasis Type="Bold">+</Emphasis></Superscript>-doped GdAl<Subscript>3</Subscript>(BO<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>4</Subscript> crystal: a candidate for infrared laser crystal

Yb³⁺:GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ (hereafter Yb³⁺:GAB) crystals with large sizes and good optical quality have been grown by the top-seed solution growth (TSSG) method. The polarized absorption and emission spectra have been investigated at room temperature. For the σ-polarization, the intensities of both absorption and emission spectra are stronger than those for the π-polarization, the σ-absorption cross section of Yb³⁺ in GAB being 3.43×10^-20 cm² at 977 nm, and the σ-emission cross section being 0.98×10^-20 cm² at 1045 nm. The fluorescence lifetime of the ² F _5/2→² F _7/2 transition was measured to be 800 μs in the 5% doped sample used for our laser experiments, 993 μs in a 10% doped sample and 569 μs in a 0.5% doped sample. The laser parameters were estimated as: β_min=0.022, I_sat=10.4 kW/cm² and I_min=0.23 kW/cm². About 0.4 W laseroutput at the wavelength of 1043 nm was achieved when the Yb³⁺:GAB crystal was pumped by a 974 nm laser diode, with 27.4% slope efficiency.

二维颗粒气体在堆积过程中的能量耗散

通过高速摄像的方法观测了玻璃颗粒组成的准二维气态颗粒流的冷凝耗散过程,并和理想情况下的均匀耗散的颗粒流体理论作了比较,实验发现气态颗粒部分在耗散堆积过程中近似地满足高斯分布;从动能的结果来看,实际耗散过程和流体理论所预测的不同.实验发现冷凝分为两个阶段：当动能的贡献以气体颗粒为主时,发现颗粒以恒定的速度堆积,动能耗散主要由其中以气态分布的颗粒的沉积速率α,颗粒温度T和气态部分的平动速度ν_g决定;当气态颗粒数目趋向于0,能量耗散主要来自于密堆颗粒的表面层部分 关键词： 离散体系 耗散性

Effect of the Scanning Step on the Surface Quality of Microdevices in Femtosecond-Laser Micromachining and its Optimization

Direct writing technique is usually used in femtosecond-laser two-photon micromachining. The size of the scanning step has important influence on the surface quality and machining efficiency of microdevices. According to the mechanism of two-photon polymerization combining the distribution function of the light intensity and the free-radical-concentration theory, we establish the mathematical model of coverage of solidification unit and analyze the effect of coverage on the machining quality and efficiency of microdevices. Using the principle of exposure equivalence, we also obtain the analytic expression of the relationship between the surface-quality characteristic parameters of microdevices and the scanning step and carry out the numerical simulation and experiment. The results show that the scanning step has little influence on the surface quality of the line when it is much smaller than the size of the solidification unit. However, when the scanning step is gradually increasing, the smoothness of the line surface is reduced rapidly, and the surface quality becomes worse drastically. For stereo-device processing with different slopes, we propose a kind three-dimensional continuous-variable scanning method and provide the calculation expression of the scanning step. From the experimental example of fabricating a spherical structure, we show that, compared with the fixed-step scanning method, the continuous-variable scanning-step method should be used to improve the surface quality of microdevices.
