Optical, thermal, electrical, damage, and phase-matching properties of lithium selenoindate
2010
Lithium selenoindate (LiInSe2) is a new nonlinear chalcogenide biaxial crystal, related to LiInS2 and transparent from 0.54 to 10 μm at the 50% level (10 mm thickness), which has been successfully grown in large sizes and with good optical quality. We report on what we believe to be new physical properties that are relevant for laser and nonlinear optical applications and summarize all relevant characteristics, both from the literature and as measured in the present work. With respect to AgGaS(e)2 ternary chalcopyrite materials, LiInSe2 displays a nearly isotropic thermal expansion behavior with three- to five-times-larger thermal conductivities associated with high optical damage threshold…
Capillary condensation in the two-dimensional lattice gas: A Monte Carlo test of fluctuation corrections to the Kelvin equation
1997
A two-dimensional lattice gas model with nearest-neighbour attractive interaction confined in a strip of width L between two parallel boundaries at which an attractive short-range force acts is studied by Monte Carlo simulations, for cases where the system is in the wet phase near the critical wetting transition line for . We study the shift of the chemical potential of the transition in the strip as a function of L by thermodynamic integration methods, , and also obtain the thickness of the wetting film at the chemical potential at which capillary condensation occurs. In the range the data are consistent with a variation according to the Kelvin equation, , as well as with a shifted Kelvin …
Influence of oxygen ion elementary diffusion jumps on the electron current through the conductive filament in yttria stabilized zirconia nanometer-si…
2021
Abstract The structure of the electron current through an individual filament of a nanometer-sized virtual memristor consisting of a contact of a conductive atomic force microscope probe to an yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film deposited on a conductive substrate is investigated. Usually, such investigation is performed by the analysis of the waveform of this current with the aim to extract the random telegraph noise (RTN). Here, we suggest a new indirect method, which is based on the measurement of the spectrum of the low-frequency flicker noise in this current without extracting the RTN, taking into account the geometrical parameters of the filament. We propose that the flicker no…
Diffraction-efficiency oscillations in amorphous As_2S_3 films
1999
An experimental study of the holographic gratings recorded in nonannealed, thermally with time relaxed amorphous As2S3 films by 514.5-nm light in the presence of 632.8-nm readout light is carried out. The dependences of the maximal first-order diffraction efficiency on the holographic grating period was studied in a wide range of periods, from 0.40 to 70.0 µm. A peculiar oscillatory diffraction-efficiency temporal behavior occurring under certain conditions is reported. The obtained results are discussed in terms of photoinduced structural changes, relaxational structural changes, photoinduced anisotropy, and photoinduced recharging of the localized states in the bandgap. The diffraction-ef…
ANNEALING EFFECT ON COERCIVITY AND MICROHARDNESS IN SINTERED (Nd, Tb)15(Fe, Co, Al)78B7 MAGNETS
1999
The variation of the coercivity and microhardness with annealing (475–1150°C/3.6 ks) of sintered (Nd, Tb) 15 (Fe, Co, Al) 78 B 7 permanent magnet have been investigated. The data indicate that the coercivity reaches the mininum and the maximum at 600°C and 775°C, respectively. Optical and scanning electron microscopy and magnetic domain structure observations give no hints to any change in microstructure. Fitting of the Mössbauer spectra of permanent magnets for different coercivity ( i H c ) values revealed that magnetic hyperfine fields (B Hf ) on all Fe sites are reduced with the increase in i H c value and the higher value of the i H c corresponds to the higher value of the Mössbauer l…
RANDOM SEQUENTIAL ADSORPTION ON A LINEAR LATTICE: EFFECT OF DIFFUSIONAL RELAXATION
1992
In this paper, the authors offer phenomenological arguments, supported by numerical Monte Carlo data, suggesting that the asymptotic large-time behavior of the coverage in the 1D lattice deposition of k-mers with k {gt} 3, accompanied by k-mer diffusion, is governed by the same mean-field dynamics as the lattice chemical reaction kA {yields} inert. The latter reaction is considered to occur with partial probability. The coverage in the deposition process approaches full saturation for any nonzero diffusion rate, and the void fraction decreases according to the power-law t{sup {minus}1/(k{minus}1)}.
Nonlinear Disorder Mapping via Three Wave Mixing in Poled Lithium Tantalate
2010
We introduce and test a simple approach for the characterization of domain distribution in bulk quadratic ferroelectric crystals, such as periodically poled Lithium Tantalate with random mark-to space ratio.
High-power pulsed dye laser with Fourier-limited bandwidth
1986
A high-peak-power, narrow-linewidth light source with a homogeneous beam profile has been constructed by modifications to a commercially available pulsed-dye-laser system. Output pulses of up to 10 mJ were generated with linewidths of about 50 MHz for 12-nsec pulses. The pulse-to-pulse frequency stability was better than the linewidth, and the center frequency could be scanned over a frequency range of 142.5 GHz at a wavelength of 600 nm. The performance of the system was demonstrated by observing the 6s2 1S0–6s7s1S0 transition in atomic mercury at 2λ = 312.8 nm and the 6s2S1/2–8s2S1/2 transition in atomic gold at 2λ = 308.9 nm using up to 1 mJ of frequency-doubled output for two-photon non…
COOLING RATE DEPENDENCE AND DYNAMIC HETEROGENEITY BELOW THE GLASS TRANSITION IN A LENNARD–JONES GLASS
1999
We investigate a binary Lennard-Jones mixture with molecular dynamics simulations. We consider first a system cooled linearly in time with the cooling rate gamma. By varying gamma over almost four decades we study the influence of the cooling rate on the glass transition and on the resulting glass. We find for all investigated quantities a cooling rate dependence; with decreasing cooling rate the system falls out of equilibrium at decreasing temperatures, reaches lower enthalpies and obtains increasing local order. Next we study the dynamics of the melting process by investigating the most immobile and most mobile particles in the glass. We find that their spatial distribution is heterogene…
Spiking dynamics of frequency up-converted field generated in continuous-wave excited rubidium vapours
2020
We report on spiking dynamics of frequency up-converted emission at 420 nm generated on the 6P3/2-5S1/2 transition in Rb vapour two-photon excited to the 5D5/2 level with laser light at 780 and 776 nm. The spike duration is less than the natural lifetime of any excited level involved in the interaction with both continuous and pulsed pump radiation. The spikes at 420 nm are attributed to temporal properties of the directional emission at 5.23 {\mu}m generated on the population inverted 5D5/2-6P3/2 transition. A link between the spiking regime and cooperative effects is discussed. We suggest that the observed stochastic behaviour is due to the quantum-mechanical nature of the cooperative eff…
