Absorption properties of a driven Doppler—broadened ladder system with hyperfine structure

We have studied the absorption spectrum of a Doppler-broadened ladder system,where the highest level is coupled into two middle hyperfine sublevels by a strong coherent field.We find that,when the system is considered as homogeneous,either two or three spectral components are observed,depending on the detuning of the coherent field.but when the velocity distribution of atoms is considered,we can always observe one electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) window with high dispersion.So the atomic hyperfine structure cannot be an impediment for obtaining EIT.     

Study of absorption and re-emission processes in a ternary liquid scintillation system

Liquid scintillators are widely used as the neutrino target in neutrino experiments.The absorption and emission of different components of a ternary liquid scintillator （Linear Alkyl Benzene （LAB） as the solvent,2,5-diphenyloxazole （PPO） as the fluor and p-bis-（o-methylstyryl）-benzene （bis-MSB） as wavelength shifter） are studied.It is shown that the absorption of this liquid scintillator is dominant by LAB and PPO at wavelengths less than 349 nm,and the absorption by bis-MSB becomes prevalent at the wavelength larger than 349 nm.The fluorescence quantum yields,which are the key parameters to model the absorption and re-emission processes in large liquid scintillation detectors,are measured.     

Molecular orientation of thiol-derivatized tetraphenylporphyrin on gold studied by XPS and NEXAFS

Tetraphenylporphyrins bearing four linkers consisting of thioacetyl-functionalized carbon chains were immobilized on a gold surface via thiolate-gold bonds using two different preparation routes. The structure of these molecular layers was characterized in detail with synchrotron radiation based core-level spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. The results show that the geometry of the molecular layers and the number of linkers that bind to the gold surface depends on the preparation schemes. The deprotection of the linkers through removal of the terminal acetyl group before the molecular adsorption (deprotected systems) resulted in porphyrins bound to the gold surface with on the average three linkers, their normal axis being tilted ∼38° with respect to the surface normal. On the other hand, porphyrin layers prepared directly with the acetyl group still in place on the linkers (protected systems) are made of molecules bound to the gold surface via two linkers on the average. The resulting orientation is more upright, with the normal axis of the porphyrin plane tilted ∼50° with respect to the surface normal. Moreover, NEXAFS measurements revealed that the acetyl deprotected porphyrin layers have a higher degree of ordering than the protected systems.     

A study of the interaction between perylene and the TiO2(1 1 0)-(1 × 1) surface-based on XPS, UPS and NEXAFS measurements

The interaction between a semi-large aromatic hydrocarbon compound (perylene) and the TiO₂(1 1 0)-(1 × 1) surface under ultra high vacuum conditions has been probed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) methods. UPS measurements of the adsorbate system have been compared with an experimental UPS spectrum of perylene in the gas phase and a calculated spectrum obtained by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods. NEXAFS results of perylene molecules adsorbed on TiO₂(1 1 0)-(1 × 1) were compared with data from an α-phase perylene single crystal. A novel analysis of the valence data has been employed to show that no strong chemical interaction takes place between perylene and the TiO₂(1 1 0)-(1 × 1) surface. Furthermore, angle-dependent NEXAFS measurements and the growth curve results suggest that the perylene molecules are oriented flat down onto the TiO₂ substrate due to weak van der Waals interactions.     

极化子效应对ZnS/CdSe核壳量子点光吸收系数的影响

在有效质量近似下,利用量子力学密度矩阵理论,从理论上研究了考虑极化子效应后核壳量子点中线性、三阶非线性以及总的光吸收系数在不同条件下随入射光能量变化的关系。通过数值计算,分析了电子-LO声子和电子-IO声子相互作用对ZnS/CdSe柱型核壳结构量子点光吸收系数的影响。结果表明,极化子效应对光吸收系数有很大影响,不同声子模式对光吸收系数影响大小不同。考虑电子-LO声子后,光吸收系数被大大提高。另外,入射光强和弛豫时间对系统的吸收系数也有很大影响。     

反演波段对DOAS测量大气中O3的性能影响研究

臭氧(O3)浓度通常被认为是一个地方污染水平的基准,所以其绝对值的准确性至关藿要.在差分光学吸收光谱技术(DOAS)对O3的测量过程中,光谱反演波段的选择可直接决定O3浓度的测量准确度.文章主要研究了在不同光谱波段O3特征吸收结构和差分光学厚度(D')的不同,在不同光谱波段O3浓度反演的干扰来源以及影响程度,确定了实际检测时大气消光对不同波段光强的影响,最后通过对多种污染物标准气体进行了同时临测,计算出标准气体在不同光谱分辨率不同O3浓度时的测量误差,确定了对O3的最适用光谱波段范围.在此波段既能够实现对痕量气体的准确定性定量,又能达到测量所需要的高灵敏度,强选择性和适用的时间分辨率.     

Determination of Organic Chlorine by Aluminium Monochloride Molecular Absorption Spectrometry Using Lead Atomic Line

The present study was conducted to investigate the molecular absorption by AlCl in a carbon rod furnace for determination of chlorine in organic compounds, by using the lead atomic line at 261.418 nm emitted from a Pb-hollow cathode lamp. A deuterium lamp was used for the simultaneous background correction. The method enables rapid and accurate determination of trace chlorine in varying organic samples with good precision. The method was tested on different organic chloro-coumpounds and α-pinene products.

Cu(L-glu)(bpy)(L-glu = L-glutamato; bpy = 2, 2′-bipyridine) was prepared. Its electronic absorption spectrum and photoacoustic spectrum were recorded at room temperature. They were compared with each other and compared quantitatively with ligand field theory(LFT) and the radical wave function of non-free ions^[1–3]. Therefore, the electronic structure was also investigated with its spectrum behaviors and PLFT^[1–3].

Absorption of shocked benzene

Abstract

We used absorption spectroscopy to observe decomposition of benzene (C₆H₆) subjected to the passage of strong shock waves generated by projectile impact. These measurements were made using a recently developed double-beam, double-pass, fiber-optic-coupled apparatus. Near 13 GPa, we observe absorption throughout most of the visible region, with strong absorption occurring for wavelengths below 400 nm. The absorption is most likely due to a combination of molecular absorption and Mie scattering from carbon particles formed as a result of shock decomposition.
