AbstractIt is well known that the scattering of ultrashort pulses (USPs) of an electromagnetic field in the X-ray frequency range can be used in diffraction analysis. When such USPs are scattered by various polyatomic objects, a diffraction pattern appears from which the structure of the object can be determined. Today, there is a technical possibility of creating powerful USP sources and the analysis of the scattering spectra of such pulses is a high-precision instrument for studying the structure of matter. As a rule, such scattering occurs at a frequency close to the carrier frequency of the incident USP. In this work, it is shown that for high-power USPs, where the magnetic component of USPs cannot be neglected, scattering at the second harmonic appears. The scattering of USPs by the second harmonic has a characteristic diffraction pattern which can be used to judge the structure of the scattering object; combining the scattering spectra at the first and second harmonics therefore greatly enhances the diffraction analysis of matter. Scattering spectra at the first and second harmonics are shown for various polyatomic objects: examples considered are 2D and 3D materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and hybrid structures consisting of nanotubes. The theory developed in this work can be applied to various multivolume objects and is quite simple for X-ray structural analysis, because it is based on analytical expressions.

The lack of available table-top extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources with high enough fluxes and coherence properties has limited the availability of nonlinear XUV and x-ray spectroscopies to free-electron lasers (FELs). Here, we demonstrate second harmonic generation (SHG) on a table-top XUV source by observing SHG near the Ti M2,3 edge with a high-harmonic seeded soft x-ray laser. Furthermore, this experiment represents the first SHG experiment in the XUV. First-principles electronic structure calculations suggest the surface specificity and separate the observed signal into its resonant and nonresonant contributions. The realization of XUV-SHG on a table-top source opens up more accessible opportunities for the study of element-specific dynamics in multicomponent systems where surface, interfacial, and bulk-phase asymmetries play a driving role.

A numerical study of the effect of betatron oscillations on the second harmonic generation in free-electron lasers (FELs) is presented. Analytical expressions for the effective coupling strength factors are derived that clearly distinguish all contributions in subharmonics and each polarization of the radiation. A three-dimensional time-dependent numerical FEL code that takes into account the main FEL effects and the individual contribution of each electron to the second harmonic generation is presented. Also, the X- and Y-polarizations of the second harmonic are analyzed. The second harmonic was detected in experiments at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Low Energy Undulator Test Line (LEUTL) and Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) in the soft X-ray regime. The approach presented in the article can be useful for a comprehensive study and diagnostics of XFELs. In the paper, the LCLS and Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free-Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) experiments are modeled. The simulation results are in a good agreement with the experimental data.

A four hour balloon observation of HERC X-l during the 'On-state' in the 35 day cycle was performed on May 3rd, 1976. The 1.24 second pulsations show a pulsed fraction of 58 ± 8% in the 18-31 KeV interval. A pulsed flux (1.24 sec) was discovered in the 31-88 KeV interval with a pulsed fraction of 51 ± 14%. The spectrum of the pulsed flux can be represented up to 50 KeV by an exponential distribution with KT approximately 8 KeV. At approximately 58 KeV a strong and narrow line feature occurs which we interpret as electron cyclotron emission (ΔN = 1 Landau transition) from the polar cap plasma of the rotating neutron star. The corresponding magnetic field strength is approximately 5 x 1012 Gauss, neglecting gravitational red shift. There is evidence for a second harmonic at approximately 110 KeV (ΔN = 2 ).The astrophysical application of this discovery will be discussed in some detail.

ABSTRACTMetalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was used to deposit epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films on (100) MgO substrates at 600°C. The metalorganic precursors employed in the deposition experiments were hydrated Ba(thd)2 (thd = C11H19O2) and titanium isopropoxide. The films were analyzed by means of transmittance spectroscopy, wavelength dispersive x-ray spectrometry, secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiling, x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, nanoscale energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry and second harmonic generation measurements. There was no evidence for interdiffusion between the film and substrate. The x-ray and electron diffraction studies showed that the films were oriented with the a-axis normal to the substrate surface, whereas second harmonic generation measurements showed that the films had some c-axis character.

KTiOPO4 nanoparticles are known as the best candidate to utilize for second-harmonic generation in multiphoton microscopes and bio labels. Size and shape are important and effective parameters to control the properties of nanoparticles. In this paper, we will investigate the role of capping agent concentration on the size and shape control of KTP nanoparticles. We synthesized KTP nanoparticles by the co-precipitation method. Polyvinyl alcohol with different mole ratios to titanium ion (1:3, 1:2, 1:1) was used as a capping agent. Products were examined by X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy analyses. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the formation of the KTP structure. The biggest (56.36nm) and smallest (39.42nm) grain size were obtained by 1:3 and 1:1 mole ratios of capping agent, respectively. Dumbly, spherical and polyhedral forms of KTP nanoparticles were observed by the change in capping agent mole ratio. The narrowest size distribution of KTiOPO4 nanoparticles was obtained at 1:1 mole ratio of capping agent. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2020-01-04-06 Full Text: PDF
