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.

A novel apparatus was designed to couple 2.45-GHz microwave radiation into a gas discharge. Using this apparatus, continuous-wave 222-nm B → X fluorescence of the KrF excimer system was observed in a binary mixture of chlorine and krypton. The effects of gas composition and total pressure on the fluorescence intensity at a wavelength of 222 nm was investigated. Spectra over the wavelength region of 200–320 nm were recorded for various gas compositions near the optimum total pressures for excimer fluorescence. The 222-nm B → X KrCl excimer transition was apparent in all cases and had a full-width half-maximum (FWHM) of 3 nm. In addition, the 258-nm Cl2 excimer transition was also evident with a FWHM of 5 nm. Both the center frequencies and widths of these transitions were constant for the conditions tested.

Layer I

The optoelectric properties of GaInP p-i-n solar cells with different intrinsic layer (i-layer) thicknesses from 0.25 to 1 μm were studied. Both emission intensity and full width at half maximum features of the photoluminescence spectrum indicate that the optimum i-layer thickness would be between 0.5 and 0.75 μm. The integrated current results of photocurrent experiment also point out that the samples with 0.5 to 0.75 μm i-layer thicknesses have optimum value around 156 nA. Electroreflectance measurements reveal that the built-in electric field strength of the sample gradually deviates from the theoretical value larger when i-layer thickness of the sample is thicker than 0.75 μm.I-Vmeasurements also confirm crystal quality for whole samples by obtaining the information about short currents of photovoltaic performances. A series of experiments reflect that thicker i-layer structure would induce more defects generation lowering crystal quality.

Luminescent Centers

Infrared (IR) luminescence covering 1.1 to ∼1.6 μm wavelength region was observed from bismuth-doped barium silicate glasses, excited by a laser diode at 808 nm wavelength region, at room temperature. The peak of the IR luminescence appears at 1325 nm. A full width half-maximum (FWHM) and the lifetime of the fluorescence is more than 200 nm and 400 μs, respectively. The fluorescence intensity increases with Al2O3 content, but decreases with BaO content. We suggest that the IR luminescence should be ascribed to the low valence state of bismuth Bi2+ or Bi+, and Al3+ ions play an indirect dispersing role for the infrared luminescent centers.

We report on ultrabroad infrared (IR) luminescences covering the 1000–1700-nm wavelength region, from Bi-doped 75GeO2–20RO–5Al2O3–1Bi2O3(R = Sr, Ca, and Mg) glasses. The full width at half-maximum of the IR luminescences excited at 980 nm increases (315 → 440 → 510 nm) with the change of alkaline earth metal (Mg2+→ Ca2+→ Sr2+). The fluorescence lifetime of the glass samples is 1725, 157, and 264 μs when R is Sr, Ca, and Mg, respectively. These materials may be promising candidates for broad-band fiber amplifiers and tunable laser resources.

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.

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.

AbstractAn anti-resonance pulse forming network (PFN) has been designed, analyzed, and tested for its application in generating quasi-square pulses. According to the circuit simulations, a compact generator based on two/three-section network was constructed. Two-section network is applied in the generator due to its compact structure, while three-section network is employed for generating pulses with higher quality. When two-section network is applied in the generator, the full-width at half-maximum of the load pulse is 400 ns, at the same time, its rise time, flat top and fall time are 90, 180 and 217 ns, respectively. When the three-section network is applied with the same pulse width of the load pulse, the rise time of the output decreases to 60 ns, while the flat top increases to 240 ns and the fall time reduces to 109 ns. Meanwhile, this kind of network could be used to shape the output pulses of generators whose equivalent circuit is LC series discharge network, such as MARX generator, into quasi-square pulses. And the preliminary experiment demonstrates that anti-resonance network could work well on four-stage Marx generators. A sine pulse generated by the four-stage Marx generator is shaped into a quasi-square pulse with voltage of 11.8 kV and pulse width about 110 ns based on two-section anti-resonance network.

AbstractErbium films are evaporated on crystalline silicon substrates and are thermally diffused into silicon in an Ar+02 or H2 flow. Very sharp Er3+-related luminescence peaks are observed around 1.54 μ m.The main peak as well as the fine structures of the luminescence spectra depend on the annealing atmosphere, suggesting different luminescence centers. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peaks is ≤ 0.5nm at 20K. Thermal diffusion with Al films on top of the Er films is found to increase the intensity of the Er3+-related peaks greatly. The temperature dependence between 20 K and room temperature is relatively small, and a strong luminescence is obtained at room temperature.

Supershort Avalanche Electron Beam

AbstractThis paper reports on the properties of a supershort avalanche electron beam generated in the air or other gases under atmospheric pressure and gives the analysis of a generation mechanism of supershort avalanche electron beam, as well as methods of such electron beams registration. It is reported that in the air under the pressure of 1 atm, a supershort (<100 ps) avalanche electron beam is formed in the solid angle more than 2π steradian. The electron beam has been obtained behind a 45 µm thick Al-Be foil in SF6 and Xe under the pressure of 2 atm, and in He, under the pressure of about 15 atm. It is shown that in SF6 under the high pressure (>1 atm) duration (full width at half maximum) of supershort avalanche electron beam pulse is about 150 ps.

Spontaneous Magnetic Moment

AbstractThe interplay between chirality and magnetism generates a distinct physical process, the magneto-chiral effect, which enables one to develop functionalities that cannot be achieved solely by any of the two. Such a process is universal with the breaking of parity-inversion and time-reversal symmetry simultaneously. However, the magneto-chiral effect observed so far is weak when the matter responds to photons, electrons, or phonons. Here we report the first observation of strong magneto-chiral response to excitons in a twisted bilayer tungsten disulfide with the amplitude of excitonic magneto-chiral (ExMCh) anisotropy reaches a value of ~4%. We further found the ExMCh anisotropy features with a spectral splitting of ~7 nm, precisely the full-width at half maximum of the excitonic chirality spectrum. Without an externally applied strong magnetic field, the observed ExMCh effect with a spontaneous magnetic moment from the ferromagnetic substrate of thulium iron garnet at room temperature is favorable for device applications. The unique ExMCh processes provide a new pathway to actively control magneto-chiral applications in photochemical reactions, asymmetric synthesis, and drug delivery.
