利用蝴蝶型纳米结构下的极化门方案输出单个阿秒脉冲

理论研究了在蝴蝶型纳米结构下运用多周期极化门方案驱动He原子输出高次谐波以及阿秒脉冲的特点.结果表明,由于纳米结构表面的等离子共振增强现象,谐波截止能量得到延伸.同时,由于激光场呈现空间非均匀性,长量子路径对谐波的贡献被减弱.并且,在极化门控制下,谐波平台区的贡献只来源于单一的谐波辐射能量峰,进而形成一个147 eV的超长平台区.最后,通过叠加平台区的谐波,可获得一个持续时间在30 as的超短脉冲.     

晶体级联方式的宽带三倍频方案分析

 讨论了入射基频光频谱宽度、两块和频晶体失谐角对KDP晶体Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅱ类角度失谐级联方式的三倍频光功率谱分布的影响,分析了影响三倍频效率的因素。研究结果表明,第二块和频晶体得到的三倍频光的功率谱分布与基频光功率谱分布及失谐角有关,三倍频光频谱宽度近似为基频光的3倍,采用该方案的三倍频可有效抑制由于基频光时间相位调制导致的三倍频光强随时间分布的不均匀,并能有效提高大带宽条件下的三倍频转换效率。同时,采用该方案的三倍频,对级联的两块和频晶体厚度及失谐角调整精度要求不高,在实验上有很大的可操作性。     

表面光学声子对柱形量子线中三次谐波振荡的影响

本文利用密度矩阵方法研究了表面光学声子对柱形量子线中三次谐波振荡的影响,并且导出了三次谐波振荡的表达式。然后,以GaAs柱形量子线为例作了数值计算。研究表明,当柱形量子线的横向半径d非常小时,电子和表面光学声子之间的耦合强度就非常大,表面光学声子对三次谐波振荡的影响就更强。     

在不同激光脉宽下的高次谐波

用数值计算方法计算了不同强激光脉冲宽度下高次谐波的产生.我们发现对于激光场强度不高,不能有效电离初态的激光场,长脉冲宽度可以更有效产生高次谐波;而对于高场强的激光场,由于它能够在几个光学周期之内把原子的初态全部电离,所以短脉冲的激光场能够更有效产生高次谐波.     

相干振动动力学和高分辨非线性光谱学：空气/二甲亚砜液体界面的比较

研究了空气/二甲亚砜界面C?H伸缩振动的自由诱导衰减的相干振动动力学和亚波数高分辨宽带和频振动光谱．对于特定分子体系,频率域光谱测量和时间域动力学测量原则上应获得相同的信息．但对具有耦合或者重叠在一起的若干振动模式的分子体系,通过时域或者频域测量以获取光谱和动力学信息细节均非易事．对于振动光谱并非过于复杂的空气/二甲亚砜界面,基于亚波数高分辨宽带和频振动光谱的频域测量较超快时域测量更有益于获取界面结构和相干动力学定量信     

原子层沉积技术沉积的FeOx包裹层显著提高Pd/C催化剂在甲酸分解放氢反应中的催化活性

Hydrogen generation from formic acid (FA) has received significant attention.The challenge is to obtain a highly active catalyst under mild conditions for practical applications.Here atomic layer deposition (ALD) of FeO_x was performed to deposit an ultrathin oxide coating layer to a Pd/C catalyst,therein the FeO_x coverage was precisely controlled by ALD cycles.Transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction measurements suggest that the FeO_x coating layer improved the thermal stability of Pd nanoparticles (NPs).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement showed that deposition of FeO_x on the Pd NPs caused a positive shift of Pd3d binding energy.In the FA dehydrogenation reaction,the ultrathin FeO_x layer on the Pd/C could considerably improve the catalytic activity,and Pd/C coated with 8 cycles of FeO_x showed an optimized activity with turnover frequency being about 2 times higher than the uncoated one.The improved activities were in a volcanoshape as a function of the number of FeO_x ALD cycles,indicating the coverage of FeO_x is critical for the optimized activity.In summary,simultaneous improvements of activity and thermal stability of Pd/C catalyst by ultra-thin FeO_x overlayer suggest to be an effective way to design active catalysts for the FA dehydrogenation reaction.

Utilization of inverse approach in the design of materials over nano‐ to macro‐scale

In the light of recent developments in computer technology, a promising and efficient way to design a material with a desired property would be to solve the inverse problem: use a physical property to predict structure. Here, we discuss the basic idea and mathematical foundation of the inverse approach, and proposed strategies for its utilization in the design of materials over nano‐ to macro‐scales. At the nano‐scale, analyzed strategies include scanning of a high‐dimensional space of chemical compounds for those compounds that have a targeted property, and identification of correlations in large databases of materials. However, unlike utilization of inverse approach at nano‐scale where full structural information ‐ atoms and their positions‐ is linked to targeted properties, at the meso‐ and macro‐scale, only partial structural information, manifested via structural motifs or representative volume elements, is available. We discuss the role of partial structural information in the inverse approach to the design of materials at those scales. Risks and limitations of the inverse approach are analyzed and dependence of the approach on factors such as structure parametrization, approximations in theoretical models, and feedback from structural characterization, is addressed.

     

The Effects of a Third Generation Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill on the Classical Singing Voice

The success of professional operatic singers depends upon the quality of their vocal mechanism. This is known to be sensitive to changes in the endocrine environment. Despite a widespread belief among singers that vocal quality changes according to the stage of the menstrual cycle, this has received little attention. In particular, the possibility that use of the contraceptive pill might stabilize vocal quality by "dampening" hormonal fluctuations has not previously been studied systematically. Here, we show that drospirenone containing oral contraceptive pill (Yasmin, Schering AG, West Sussex, UK) with antiandrogenic and antimineralocorticoid properties demonstrates a significant reduction in the irregularity of the pattern of vibration of the vocal folds during the performance of highly trained classical singers. This study constitutes the first double blind, randomized placebo controlled trial to assess the effects of the contraceptive pill on the patterns of vibration of the vocal folds during the performance of Western classical singing repertoire.
