Influence of the Grain Boundaries on the Heat Transfer in Laser Ceramics

Grain boundaries play a key role in determining several key properties of polycrystalline laser ceramics. Heat transfer measurements at low temperature constitute a good tool to probe grain boundaries. We review the results of heat transfer measurements in polycrystalline Y₃Al₅O₁₂ garnets as well as Y₂O₃ and Lu₂O₃ sesquioxide materials obtained by self-energy-driven sintering of nano-particles. The average phonon mean free path in Y₃Al₅O₁₂ was found to be significantly larger than the average grain size and to scale with temperature as T ⁻² at low temperature. Existing models describing the interaction between phonons and grain boundaries are reviewed. Correct temperature dependence of the mean free path and order of magnitude of scattering rates were found by assuming the existence of a grain boundary layer having acoustic properties different from those of the bulk. A different temperature dependence of phonon mean free path was found for the sesquioxides and was ascribed to the stronger elastic anisotropy of these materials. The thermal resistance associated to the grain boundaries of laser ceramics was found to be lower than in other dense polycrystalline ceramic materials reported in the literature.     

Tribological properties of diamond-like carbon films deposited by pulsed laser arc deposition

A novel method, pulsed laser arc deposition combining the advantages of pulsed laser deposition and cathode vacuum arc techniques, was used to deposit the diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanofilms with different thicknesses. Spectroscopic ellipsometer, Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and multi-functional friction and wear tester were employed to investigate the physical and tribological properties of the deposited films. The results show that the deposited films are amorphous and the sp$^{2}$, sp$^{3}$ and C--O bonds at the top surface of the films are identified. The Raman peak intensity and surface roughness increase with increasing film thickness. Friction coefficients are about 0.1, 0.15, 0.18, when the film thicknesses are in the range of 17--21~nm, 30--57~nm, 67--123~nm, respectively. This is attributed to the united effects of substrate and surface roughness. The wear mechanism of DLC films is mainly abrasive wear when film thickness is in the range of 17--41~nm, while it transforms to abrasive and adhesive wear, when the film thickness lies between 72 and 123~nm.

Proton induced thermal stress-wave measurements using a Laser Doppler Vibrometer

Thermal stress-waves are generated in the solid target material when the proton beam interacts. These stress waves excite natural oscillations of the target or cause plastic deformations. Hence, an experimental setup with a laser Doppler vibrometer [CITE] was developed to investigate free surface vibrations of cylindrical targets. The target configurations for RIB and conventional neutrino beams (CNGS project) were investigated to analyze proton induced thermal stress-wave generation and propagation.     

Combination of LFP‐TRIR spectroscopy and DFT computation as a tool to determine the intermediate during the photooxidation of triarylphosphine

Laser flash photolysis‐time‐resolved infrared spectroscopy (LFP‐TRIR) was performed on an acetonitrile or dichloromethane solution of triarylphosphines, Ar₃P, in air. A transient spectrum consisting of several absorption bands appeared in the region of 1050–1300 cm^?1 on the TRIR on a microsecond timescale, which disappeared on a millisecond timescale. To identify the observed transient intermediate, the IR spectra of possible intermediates of the photoreaction were simulated by theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The IR spectrum simulated for the phosphine peroxidic radical cation, Ar₃P⁺OO^?, well predicted the observed IR spectrum, showing that Ar₃P⁺OO^? is formed as a transient intermediate upon the LFP of Ar₃P in air.

The geometric phase of a two-level atom in a narrow-bandwidth squeezed vacuum

In this paper, we derive the time dependent solution of the effective master equation for the reduced density matrix operator of a two level atom driven by a coherent laser field and damped by a finite bandwidth squeezed vacuum. The results show that the initial state setting, detuning parameter and Rabi frequency play important roles in the evolution of the system dynamics and geometric phase. We present a useful way for controlling the geometric phase variation for the system under consideration.

横向划痕对光场调制的近场模拟

熔石英亚表面划痕对入射激光的近场调制是导致光学元件低阈值损伤的主要因素之一. 用三维时域有限差分方法研究了连续横向划痕的近场分布, 对比了尖锐截面与光滑截面场调制的差异, 着重探讨了光场调制与划痕宽深比R的关系. 研究表明: 酸蚀后的光滑截面有助于减弱近场调制, 这类划痕的R>10.0时调制较弱且相互接近, R<5.0时调制显著增强. 当R取1---3时, 亚表面的调制达最大值, 最大电场幅值为入射波幅值的4.3倍. 当R取1.0---3.5时, 缺陷附近有80%以上取样点的最大电场幅值超过入射波幅值的2倍. 随着深度的增大, 强场区具有明显的"趋肤效应": 位于划痕正下方的强场区首先往左右两侧移动, 然后移向抛物口界面以及水平界面, 同时衍生出的多条增强线诱导整个亚表面层的光场增强.
