Design of a PXR experiment based on the NCEL

Parametric X-ray Radiation （PXR） can be used as a novel, quasi-monochromatic energy-tunable and high-yield X-ray source. It is produced at the Bragg angle by a relativistic electron beam passing through the periodic structure of crystal materials. This article concerns the PXR experiment using low energy electrons （10 MeV） from NCEL （Novel Compact Electron-Linac）. The difficulty of the experiment is to distinguish the PXR photons form the background. The design of the experiment relies mainly on the yield of PXR, the Bremsstrahlung background of the X-rays and the capability of the detector.     

Photonic Band Gap Properties of Three-Dimensional SiO2 Photonic Crystals

Three-dimensional SiO2 photonic crystals （PhCs） are fabricated on quartz substrates by the vertical deposition method. Scanning electron microscopy measurement reveals that the samples exhibit an ordered close-packed arrangement of SiO2 spheres. It is found that the position of the [111] photonie band gap （PBG） shifts to a long wavelength （red shift） with increasing sphere size. Gap broadening effects are observed due to the presence of defects in the samples. Moreover, the optical properties of the PBG are very sensitive to the annealing temperature. Our results indicate that the optical properties of the PBG can be easily tuned in the visible region by appropriate experimental parameters, which will be useful for practical applications of PhC optical devices.     

Theoretical Study on a Cluster-Seven-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber with High Nonlinearity and High-Power Endurance

We present a novel cluster-seven-core photonic crystal fiber which possesses high nonlinearity and supports the high-power pumping. Its nonlinearity coefficient and effective mode area are calculated by the full vector multipole method. Compared with the single core PCF, the cluster-seven-core photonic crystal fiber can support high-power beam transmitting in the core, and simultaneously has high nonlinearity. This kind of photonic crystal fiber can be applied to the photoelectron-device field.     

Time-Domain Measurement of Optical True-Time Delay in Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Waveguides

We report on the realization of optical true-time delay （TTD） by a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide （PCWG）. Design and fabrication of the PCWG are investigated. The spectral dependence of the group delay is measured by detecting the phase shifts of a 10 GHz modulating signal, and a maximum delay of 25±2.5 ps is obtained.     

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Flexural Wave Propagating in a Periodic Pipe with Fluid-Filled Loading

Based on the Bragg scattering mechanism of phononic crystals （PCs）, a periodic composite material pipe with fluid loading is designed and studied. The band structure of the flexural wave in the periodic pipe is calculated with the transfer matrix （TM） method. A periodic piping experimental system is designed, and the vibration experiment is performed to validate the attenuation ability of the periodic pipe structure. Finally, a finite-element pipe model is constructed using the MSC-Actran software, and the calculated results match well with the vibration experiment. The errors between the theoretical calculation results and the vibration experimental results are analyzed.     

Inhomogenous Dislocation Nucleation Based on Atom Potential in Hexagonal Noncentrosymmetric Crystal Sheet

By introducing internal degree, the deformation of hexagonal noncentrosymmetric crystal sheet can be described by the revised Cauchy-Born rule based on atomic potential. The instability criterion is deduced to investigate the inhomogeneous dislocation nucleation behavior of the crystal sheet under simple loading. The anisotropic characters of dislocation nucleation under uniaxial tension are studied by using the continuum method associated with the instability criterion. The results show a strong relationship between yield stress and crystal sheet chirality. The results also indicate that the instability criterion has sufficient ability to capture the dislocation nucleation site and expansion. To observe the internal dislocation phenomenon, the prediction of the dislocation nucleation site and expansion domain is illustrated by MD simulations. The developed method is another way to explain the dislocation nucleation phenomenon.     

Slow Light Effect and Multimode Lasing in a Photonic Crystal Waveguide Microlaser

The slow light effect in a photonic crystal waveguide is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical calculation indicates that there is a slow light region for the even mode, from which the resonance and lasing in a microcavity would benefit. A photonic crystal waveguide microlaser is fabricated, which is related to the group velocity of c/120.6.     

White Emitting ZnS Nanocrystals： Synthesis and Spectrum Characterization

Spherical organic-bonded ZnS nanocrystals with 4.0 4-0.2 nm in diameter are synthesized by a liquid-solid-solution method. The photoluminescence spectrum of sample （[S^2-]/[Zn^2＋] = 1.0） shows a strong white emission with a peak at 490nm and - 170 nm full widths at half maximum. By Gauss fitting, the white emission is attributed to the overlap of a blue emission and a green-yellow emission, originating from electronic transitions from internal S^2- vacancies level to valence band and to the internal Zn^2＋ vacancy level, respectively. After sealingZnS nanocrystals onto InGaN chips, the device shows CIE coordinates of （0.29,0.30）, which indicates their potential applications for white light emitting diodes.
