The photolysis of silane (SiH4) was carried out using the third harmonic of a Nd: YAG laser at 355 nm, at a fixed SiH4 pressure of 350 Torr, varying the laser energy fluence in the range of 30–300 Jcm-2. The emission spectra indicates that the photofragments formed are SiH2, SiH, Si, H2, and H. The (A1B1-X1A1) transitions at 552.7 nm, 525.3 nm, 505.6 nm, and 484.7 nm of SiH2 are due to a two photon absorption process. The (A2Δ-X2π) transitions of SiH at 425.9 nm, 418 nm, 414.2 nm, 412.8 nm and 395.6 nm are due to a three photon absorption process. The brownish white deposit on the cell windows indicates the presence of amorphous silicon (a:Si-H). The two atomic lines of Si(4s1P0→ 3p21D2) at 288.1 nm, and (4s3Pj→ 3P3Pj) at 251.6 nm are observed. The atomic Si transitions are due to a three photon absorption. We observed seven transitions due to molecular hydrogen at wavelengths 577.5 nm, 565.5 nm, 534.4 nm, 542.5 nm, 471 nm, 461.7 nm, and 455.4 nm. These bands are due to a four photon absorption proc6ss. In addition to the molecular bands we also observed hydrogen atomic lines Hβ, Hγ and Hδ.

Ionization Rates

Optical Beam Induced Current (OBIC) measurements are performed on 4H-SiC avalanche diodes with a very thin and a highly doped active region. A pulsed green laser, with a wavelength of 532 nm, illuminates a reverse biased diode leading to generate electron-hole pairs in the space charge region. Comparison between the 4H-SiC bandgap and the incident photon energy shows that single photon absorption process can be neglected and two-photon absorption process dominates in this case. Ionization rates are then extracted from multiplication curve in a high electric field range (3 to 5 MV.cm–1). Results are in good agreement with previous ones obtained on the same diodes using single photon absorption process.

Computational Strategy

ABSTRACTRuthenium-nitrosyl (RuII(NO)) complexes are stable in the dark, but exhibit a unique photoreactivity which can lead either to a solid state isomerization from RuII(NO) to RuII(ON), or to a nitric oxide (NO·) release in solution. From our recent discovery of a high yield of isomerization (> 92%) in [RuII(py)4Cl(NO)](PF6)2, we have developed a computational strategy aimed at designing switchable nonlinear optical (NLO) material with high contrast (large difference in the on / off NLO response) in the solid state. Our synthetic targets are terpyridine based RuII chromophores in which various substituents can be introduced to adjust the NLO response which, at best, should be vanishing in the off state. Alternatively, these complexes can undergo a photo-induced NO· release in solution, a possibility which becomes increasingly appealing in relation to the discovery of the numerous biological roles of NO·, in the context of the emergence of the photodynamic therapy. A promising fluorene-terpyridine RuII(NO) complex was investigated, which could find an additional interest in relation to its capability for releasing NO· by a two-photon absorption process.
