Radiation Conversion

A series of experiments is described which were conducted to measure the absolute spectral irradiances of laser plasmas created from metal targets over the wavelength region of 123–164 nm by two separate 1.0 μm lasers, i.e., using 100 Hz, 10 ns, 2–20 kHz, 60–100 ns full-width-at-half-maximum pulses. A maximum radiation conversion efficiency of ≈ 3%/2πsr is measured over a wavelength region from ≈ 125 to 160 nm. A developed collisional-radiative solver and radiation-hydrodynamics simulations in comparison to the spectra detected by the Seya–Namioka-type monochromator reveal the strong broadband experimental radiations which mainly originate from bound–bound transitions of low-ionized charges superimposed on a strong continuum from a dense plasma with an electron temperature of less than 10 eV.

AbstractMoyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic, steno-occlusive cerebrovascular disorder of unknown etiology. Surgical treatment is the only known effective method to restore blood flow to affected areas of the brain. However, there are lack of generally accepted noninvasive tools for therapeutic outcome monitoring. As dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the standard MR perfusion imaging technique in the clinical setting, we investigated a dataset of nineteen pediatric MMD patients with one preoperational and multiple periodic DSC MRI examinations for four to thirty-eight months after indirect revascularization. A rigid gamma variate model was used to derive two nondeconvolution-based perfusion parameters: time to peak (TTP) and full width at half maximum (FWHM) for monitoring transitional bolus delay and dispersion changes respectively. TTP and FWHM values were normalized to the cerebellum. Here, we report that 74% (14/19) of patients improve in both TTP and FWHM measurements, and whereof 57% (8/14) improve more noticeably on FWHM. TTP is in good agreement with Tmax in estimating bolus delay. Our study data also suggest bolus dispersion estimated by FWHM is an additional, informative indicator in pediatric MMD monitoring.

Time Period

The profiles of 001 and 002 reflections have been measured at 1173 K as a function of time by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on tensile-creep deformed specimens of single crystal superalloy SC16. Decrease in line width (full width at half maximum: FWHM) by about 7 % and increase in peak position by about 3x10-4 degrees was detected after 8.5x104 s. Broadening of the 002 peak profile indicated a more negative value of the lattice misfit after the same time period. The results are discussed in the context of the anisotropic arrangement of dislocations at the γ/γ’ interfaces during creep and their rearrangement during the thermal treatment at 1173 K.

The effect of spectrometer resolution on the peak intensity and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a Lorentzian spectrum is obtained by evaluating the convoluted line shapes. Spectrometer resolution functions (SRF) having Gaussian and triangular profiles are considered separately. Empirical relations to estimate the true peak intensity and the FWHM from the observed parameters are suggested. These relations are valid over an extended range of parameters with an accuracy better than that of other methods suggested earlier. As an application, the true FWHM's and peak intensities of the main component of the Raman active Ag mode of sulphate ion in potash alum at low temperatures are evaluated.

Y2o3 Buffer Layer

Highly c-axis oriented aluminum nitrade (AlN) films were successfully deposited on flexible Hastelloy tapes by middle-frequency magnetron sputtering. The microstructure and piezoelectric properties of the AlN films were investigated. The results show that the AlN films deposited directly on the bare Hastelloy substrate have rough surface with root mean square (RMS) roughness of 32.43[Formula: see text]nm and its full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the AlN (0002) peak is [Formula: see text]. However, the AlN films deposited on the Hastelloy substrate with Y2O3 buffer layer show smooth surface with RMS roughness of 5.46[Formula: see text]nm and its FWHM of the AlN (0002) peak is only [Formula: see text]. The piezoelectric coefficient d[Formula: see text] of the AlN films deposited on the Y2O3/Hastelloy substrate is larger than three times that of the AlN films deposited on the bare Hastelloy substrate. The prepared highly c-axis oriented AlN films can be used to develop high-temperature flexible SAW sensors.

In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction was used to study a deformed Cu-0.88 Fe-0.24 P alloy during heating process. The measurements were performed at room temperature and also at high temperatures up to 893 K in order to determine the recovery, ageing and recrystallization process. With the increase of temperature, the angles of copper matrix peaks moved left and the FWHM (full width at half maximum) decreased slightly. Fe3P precipitates were first detected at 533 K, reached the maximum at 673 K, and re-dissolved into matrix at 853 K. A dramatic decrease in FWHM was observed accompanied by the precipitation of Fe3P phases, indicating the reduction of lattice distortion of copper matrix.

The optical absorption spectra of arsenic and phosphorus donor impurities in silicon have been studied under conditions of improved resolution. Absorption lines due to transitions from the impurity ground state to the excited states 2p0, 2p±, 3p0, 3p±, 4p0, 4 p±, and 5p0, and 5p± have been observed at 4.2° K. The relative intensities of some of these absorption lines are compared with existing experimental and theoretical estimates. The contribution of instrumental broadening to the observed line widths is assessed and natural line widths are estimated. The estimates indicate values for the natural line widths which are much less than those previously reported. For phosphorus impurity, the natural line widths are estimated to be less than 0.08 × 10−3 electron volts full width at half-maximum. The possibility of concentration broadening is discussed in connection with the arsenic data.

Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance sensor utilizing chromium and gold nanofilms is ideal for label-free biomedical sensing. In this work, Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array method was used to optimize the effects of three control factors and noise factor, which are the incident optical wavelength, chromium and gold nanofilm thicknesses, and their root-mean-square surface roughness, on the performance of the Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance sensor. The control factors were varied at three levels for a novel multi-response optimization of the Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance sensor for the minimum reflectivity, the full-width-at-half-maximum, and the sensitivity of 3% glucose detection, executed using Lumerical’s two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. Using Taguchi method, the best control factor setting in air was A3B2C2 corresponding to 785 nm optical wavelength, 0.5 nm chromium, and 50 nm gold layer thickness, respectively, with minimum reflectivity of 0.0017%, full-width-at-half-maximum of 0.4759°, and glucose-sensing sensitivity of 106.73°·RIU−1. The detection accuracy and quality factor were 0.01 and 224.26 RIU−1, respectively. It was also indicated that chromium nanofilm thickness of 0.5–3 nm and its root-mean-square surface roughness has a negligible factor effect compared to other control factors. Taguchi method’s factor effect analysis showed that for chromium layer thickness of 1–3 nm, the minimum reflectivity values are predominantly determined by the gold layer thickness with 75% factor effect, followed by optical wavelength with 11%. Factor effect of full-width-at-half-maximum is determined by optical wavelength (57%), followed by gold layer thickness (38%). Sensitivity is 88% determined by optical wavelength and 10% determined by gold layer thickness. The Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance glucose sensor with the best glucose-sensing sensitivity was at optical wavelength of 632.8 nm with a higher sensitivity value of 163.415°·RIU−1 but lower detection accuracy and quality factor values of 0.001 and 24.86 RIU−1, respectively, compared to near-infrared wavelength of 785 nm. In conclusion, finite-difference time-domain and Taguchi method is suitable for multi-response optimization of control and noise factors of Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance sensors.
