Amount of valence charge of Al- and Zn-based quasicrystals and related approximant crystals evaluated by chemical shift observations and Bader analysis

The amounts of decreased charge at Al sites of Al-based (Al–Pd–Cr–Fe, Al–Si–Mn, and Al–Re–Si) and at Zn sites of Zn-based (Zn–Mg–Zr) quasicrystals and approximant crystals were estimated. The evaluation was done by comparisons between chemical shifts experimentally observed by soft-X-ray emission spectroscopy and the amount of valence charge obtained by Bader analysis for first principle calculations of reference materials (Al, α-Al₂O₃, Zn, and ZnO). Decreased charges at Al sites of Al-based quasicrystals and at Zn sites of Zn-based quasicrystals were evaluated to be 1.0–2.5 e^–/atom and 1.1–1.2 e^–/atom, respectively. A covalent bonding nature alloy of Al–Re–Si also showed a decrease in valence charge at Al sites.

A new proposal for PCRR-based channel drop filter using elliptical rings

In this paper using elliptical resonant ring we proposed a channel drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 647. We also investigated the optical properties of different configurations of the proposed photonic crystal ring resonator such as vertical ring, dual ring and triple ring structures. According to the results different configurations show different optical properties, so for vertical, double and triple ring configurations the quality factor will be 387, 865 and 1559, respectively.     

Ultrawide low frequency band gap of phononic crystal in nacreous composite material

The band structure of a nacreous composite material is studied by two proposed models, where an ultrawide low frequency band gap is observed. The first model (tension-shear chain model) with two phases including brick and mortar is investigated to describe the wave propagation in the nacreous composite material, and the dispersion relation is calculated by transfer matrix method and Bloch theorem. The results show that the frequency ranges of the pass bands are quite narrow, because a special tension-shear chain motion in the nacreous composite material is formed by some very slow modes. Furthermore, the second model (two-dimensional finite element model) is presented to investigate its band gap by a multi-level substructure scheme. Our findings will be of great value to the design and synthesis of vibration isolation materials in a wide and low frequency range. Finally, the transmission characteristics are calculated to verify the results.     

Evaluation of polychromatic image quality of a birefringent lens by means of optical transfer function

Polychromatic or white-light optical transfer function (OTF) is put forward as a criterion to evaluate the performance of a uniaxial birefringent lens sandwiched between two linear polarizers. The optic axis of the birefringent crystal is perpendicular to the lens axis. The results show that the same system may be adapted for both enhanced resolution and apodization just by rotating any of the polarizers included in the system even under broadband illumination. The proposed system may also be exploited for image processing applications under polychromatic input illumination.

X-ray difffraction studies on samarium up to one megabar pressure

Abstract

High—pressure crystal structure studies have been performed on Sm up to 100 GPa using synchrotron x-radiation and a diamond anvil cell. The structural sequence Sm-dhcp-fcc-dist.fcc has been confirmed. There is no evidence of any volume collapse. The bulk modulus and its pressure derivative have been determined (B₀ = 30.7 GPa, B₀’ = 2.5).     

Ultra-thin film growth of titanium dioxide on W(1 0 0)

We have employed low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to follow the epitaxial growth of thin films of TiO₂ on W(1 0 0). The films were grown both by metal vapour deposition of titanium onto the substrate in UHV with subsequent annealing in a low partial pressure of oxygen, and by metal vapour deposition in a low partial pressure of oxygen. LEED patterns showed the characteristic patterns of (1 1 0) oriented rutile. A systematic spot splitting was observed and attributed to a stepped surface. The calculated step height was found to be in good agreement with that expected for rutile TiO₂(1 1 0), 3.3 Å. Titanium core level shifts were used to identify oxidation states as a function of film thickness allowing the interpretation in terms of a slightly sub-stoichiometric interface layer in contact with the substrate. In combination with the LEED patterns, the film structure is therefore determined to be (1 1 0) oriented rutile with a comparable level of stoichiometry to UHV prepared bulk crystals. The ordered step structure indicates considerable structural complexity of the surface.     

Pressure Effects on Spectra of Tunable Laser Crystal GSGG:Cr3+ I: Theory

A theory for shifts of energy spectra due to electron-phonon interaction (EPI) has been developed. Both thetemperature-independent contributions and the temperature-dependent ones of acoustic branches and optical brancheshave been derived. It is found that the temperature-independent contributions are very important, especially at lowtemperature. The total pressure-induced shift (PS) of a level (or spectral line or band) is the algebraic sum of its PSwithout EPI and its PS due to EPI. By means of both the theory for shifts of energy spectra due to EPI and the theoryfor PS of energy spectra, the total PS of R1 line of tunable laser crystal GSGG:Cr3+ at 70 K as well as the ones of itsR1 line, R2 line and U band at 300 K will be successfully calculated and explained in this series of papers.
