High-power high-stability Q-switched green laser with intracavity frequency doubling of diode-pumped composite ceramic Nd:YAG laser

We successfully obtain high-average-power high-stability Q-switched green laser based on diode-side-pumped composite ceramic Nd:YAG in a straight plano-concave cavity. The temperature distribution in composite ceramic Nd:YAG crystal is numerically analyzed and compared with that of conventional Nd:YAG crystal. By use of a composite ceramic Nd:YAG rod and a type-II high gray track resistance KTP (HGTR-KTP) crystal, a green laser with an average output power of 165 W is obtained at a repetition rate of 25 kHz, with a diode-to-green optical conversion of 14.68%, and a pulse width of 162 ns. To the best of our knowledge, both the output power and optical-to-optical efficiency are the highest values for green laser systems with intracavity frequency doubling of this novel composite ceramic Nd:YAG laser to date. The power fluctuation at around 160 W is lower than 0.3% in 2.5 hours.     

Combined effect of demagnetizing field and induced magnetic anisotropy on the magnetic properties of manganese-zinc ferrite composites

This work is devoted to the analysis of factors responsible for the high-frequency shift of the complex permeability (μ^?) dispersion region in polymer composites of manganese-zinc (MnZn) ferrite, as well as to the increase in their thermomagnetic stability. The magnetic spectra of the ferrite and its composites with polyurethane (MnZn-PU) and polyaniline (MnZn-PANI) are measured in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 3 GHz in a longitudinal magnetization field of up to 700 Ое and in the temperature interval from −20 °С to +150 °С. The approximation of the magnetic spectra by a model, which takes into account the role of domain wall motion and magnetization rotation, allows one to determine the specific contribution of resonance processes associated with domain wall motion and the natural ferromagnetic resonance to the μ^?. It is established that, at high frequencies, the μ^? of the MnZn ferrite is determined solely by magnetization rotation, which occurs in the region of natural ferromagnetic resonance when the ferrite is in the “single domain” state. In the polymer composites of the MnZn ferrite, the high-frequency permeability is also determined mainly by the magnetization rotation; however, up to high values of magnetizing fields, there is a contribution of domain wall motion, thus the “single domain” state in ferrite is not reached. The frequency and temperature dependence of μ^? in polymer composites are governed by demagnetizing field and the induced magnetic anisotropy. The contribution of the induced magnetic anisotropy is crucial for MnZn-PANI. It is attributed to the elastic stresses that arise due to the domain wall pinning by a polyaniline film adsorbed on the surface of the ferrite during in-situ polymerization.

Retrospective correction for T1-weighting bias in T2 values obtained with various spectroscopic spin-echo acquisition schemes

Localized tissue transverse relaxation time (T₂) is obtained by fitting a decaying exponential to the signals from several spin-echo experiments at different echo times (TE). Unfortunately, time constraints in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) often mandate in vivo acquisition schemes at short repetition times (TR), that is, comparable with the longitudinal relaxation constant (T₁). This leads to different T₁-weighting of the signals at each TE. Unaccounted for, this varying weighting causes systematic underestimation of the T₂'s, sometimes by as mush as 30%. In this article, we (i) analyze the phenomenon for common MRS spin-echo T₂ acquisition schemes; (ii) propose a general post hoc T₁-bias correction for any (TR, TE) combination; (iii) show that approximate knowledge of T₁ is sufficient, since a 20% uncertainty in T₁ leads to under 3% bias in T₂; and consequently, (iv) efficient, precision-optimized short TR spin-echo T₂ measurement protocols can be designed and used without risk of accuracy loss. Tables of correction for single-refocusing (conventional) spin-echo and double refocusing, such as, PRESS acquisitions, are provided.

Ni、Co/AAO纳米有序阵列复合结构光吸收特性的比较研究

在多孔阳极氧化铝(AAO)模板中分别沉积金属镍(Ni)、钴(Co),制备了Ni／AAO和Co／AAO纳米有序阵列复合结构,对其光吸收特性进行了比较研究。实验结果表明．相同结构参量的模板中,Ni、Co纳米粒子的表观形状随沉积时间的变化规律基本一致．但Co/AAO及Ni／AAO复合结构的光吸收特性却有较大差异。Ni／AAO复合结构表现出间接带隙半导体的光学特征．而Co／AAO复合结构具有直接带隙半导体的光学特征。同时,随金属沉积量的增加,Ni／AAO吸收边的红移量仅约为13nm．而Co/AAO复合结构的吸收边红移量却超过了80nm。用Maxwell-Garnett(M-G)理论分析了导致二者光吸收特性存在较大差异的主要原因。     

Carbon nanotube-epoxy composites: The role of acid treatment in thermal and electrical conductivity

Wet acid oxidation treatment methods have been widely reported as an effective method to purify and oxidize the surface of industrial multi-walled carbon nanotubes. This work examines the use of a concentrated HNO₃/H₂SO₄ mixture in an attempt to optimize the purification procedure of industrial multi-walled carbon nanotubes with diameter distribution statistics. It is shown that acid treatments of several hours are enough to purify the nanotubes. The electrical and thermal conductivities of epoxy composites containing 0.05–0.25 wt% of an acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotube have been studied. The electrical conductivity of the composites decreases by more than three orders, whereas the thermal conductivity of the same specimen increases very modestly as a function of the filler content.
