Upconversion luminescence of Tm^3＋/Yb^3＋ codoped oxyfluoride glasses

Novel oxyfluoride glasses are developed with the composition of 30SiO2-15Al2O3-28PbF2-22CdF2-0.1TmF3 - xYbF3 - （4.9 - x） AlF3（x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0） in tool fraction, Furthermore, the upconversion luminescence characteristics under a 970nm excitation are investigated. Intense blue, red and near infrared luminescences peaked at 453nm, 476nm, 647nm and 789nm, which correspond to the transitions of Tm^3＋： ^1D2 →^3F4, ^1G4 →^3H6, ^1G4 →^3F4, and ^3H4 →^3H6, respectively, are observed. Due to the sensitization of Yb^3＋ ions, all the upconversion luminescence intensities are enhanced considerably with Yb^3＋ concentration increasing. The upconversion mechanisms are discussed based on the energy matching rule and quadratic dependence on excitation power. The results indicate that the dominant mechanism is the excited state absorption for those upconversion emissions.     

First-principles calculations for transition phase and thermodynamic properties of GaAs

The transition phase of GaAs from the zincblende (ZB) structure to the rocksalt (RS) structure is investigated by ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method, and the thermodynamic properties of the ZB and RS structures are obtained through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. It is found that the transition from the ZB structure to the RS structure occurs at the pressure of about 16.3\,GPa, this fact is well consistent with the experimental data and other theoretical results. The dependences of the relative volume V/V₀ on the pressure P, the Debye temperature \Th and specific heat C_V on the pressure P, as well as the specific heat C_V on the temperature T are also obtained successfully.     

The acoustic characteristics of clause, sentence and paragraph boundaries in Chinese Putonghua

The acoustic and perceptive characteristics of discourse units, including clauses, simple sentences, compound sentences and paragraphs, were studied. The acoustic characteristics were based on the analysis of a speech corpus consisted of ten monologues. The Perceived Boundary Strength (PBS) of the monologues was labeled on a five-point scale by 25 participants. The main results are as follows: (1) There is a significant difference in the PBS of clauses (corresponding to intonational phrase), sentences (including simple sentences and compound sentences) and paragraphs. But the PBS of simple sentences and compound sentences is the same, and the pitch reset and pause are also not significantly different between these two kinds of boundaries. (2) The pitch-based cue used to distinguish clauses, sentences and paragraphs appears to be the difference between pre- and post-boundary syllables, but not simply the pitch value of either syllable alone. (3) Declination mainly occurs within intonational phrases, whereas there is no consistent global declination in sentences or in paragraphs. (4) Pauses are longer and more varied at the boundary of larger discourse units. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between pause duration and degree of pitch reset at clause boundaries, but not at sentence or paragraph boundaries.     

EIT介质中光场噪声特性研究

在原子相干效应条件下，场与原子之间的相干耦合过程不仅导致原子能态发生相干叠加，同时也会使与之作用场的光场特性发生变化。我们对电磁感应透明（EIT）介质中量子化光场的噪声谱特性进行了研究，实验和理论结果均表明，在光场与原子发生相干作用过程中，由于EIT过程的吸收减小，色散增强效应，导致作用场的位相噪声被转化为输出场的强度噪声，因而使输出场的强度噪声由三部分所决定，输入光场的强度噪声、位相噪声以及由原子而引入的额外噪声。并分析了噪声随探测光失谐、分析频率等的变化关系以及总噪声谱不对称的原因，实验与理论结果定性吻合。     

变频率压缩态光场与原子的相互作用

研究了频率随时间变化的压缩态光场与二能级原子的相互作用，主要讨论了光场频率随时间作正弦调制和脉冲调制两种典型情况下，原子布居数反转随时间的演化特性。当光场频率随时间作正弦调制时，不仅光场频率调制，而且压缩态的压缩系数和压缩相位均对原子布居数反转的崩塌—回复过程有影响。当光场频率随时间作脉冲调制时，在原子布居数反转随时间演化过程中诱导出新的崩塌—回复过程，尤其在脉冲出现的区间内，原子布居数反转表现出持续的小幅快速振荡，这与压缩态的压缩系数无关。

采用sol-gel法制备了Zn2 掺杂的锐钛矿相纳米TiO2薄膜电极.通过光电流作用谱和电流-电位(I-U)曲线研究了掺杂不同浓度Zn2 的TiO2薄膜电极的光电特性.由光电流作用谱可知,Zn2 的掺杂可显著影响薄膜电极的光电流大小,且掺杂的最佳浓度与薄膜晶粒尺度有关.在320nm单色光照射下,掺杂浓度(摩尔浓度)为0.1%的薄膜电极光电流最大,与未掺杂的本征薄膜电极相比增幅达40%.I-U曲线表明,光照下,随电极电位由正到负逐渐降低,不同掺杂浓度的TiO2薄膜电极中均出现了阳极电流向阴极电流转换的现象,且Zn2 掺杂浓度可影响电极阳极电流的初始电位.另外,无光照的暗态下,各薄膜在负电位区域观察到了相似的随电位降低而迅速增大的阴极暗电流.     

A New Type of Terahertz Waveguides

A new type of THz waveguides, which employs a solid polyethylene rod as the core and polyethylene tubes in a periodic array of square lattice as the cladding, is proposed. Optical properties of this new THz waveguide, especially in dispersion, confinement loss and single mode property, are investigated in detail with the plane wave expansion method and the beam propagation method. Numerical results demonstrate that the new THz waveguide can reach not only low dispersion but also low confinement loss at single mode propagation. Therefore, the square lattice structure is a better candidate as THz waveguides than the triangular ones.
