Recombination luminescence in aluminum nitride ceramics
2013
Photoluminescence (PL) and afterglow luminescence (AGL) produced by UV laser irradiation with varied intensity were studied in AlN ceramics in the 10–300 K temperature range. Luminescence spectra of AlN ceramics contain the UV–blue band built up of two components – the UV (3.18 eV) and Blue (2.58 eV) bands, which are presumably ascribed to recombination luminescence involving oxygen-related centers in the bulk and on the surface of AlN, correspondingly. It was found that position of the emission band maximum of AlN ceramics depends on such factors as excitation density, temperature, and delay time after excitation ceasing – in the case of AGL. In PL spectra, the excitation density growth pr…
Optical properties of ultrathin Al2O3/ZnO nanolaminates
2015
Abstract Because of their high resistance against ultraviolet and high energy particles, ultrathin amorphous nanolaminates can be very attractive for aerospace application. Here we report on the optical and structural properties of ultrathin Al2O3/ZnO nanolaminates deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition. Structural properties of nanolaminates were studied by GIXRD and AFM. Optical characterization was performed by transmittance, spectroscopic ellipsometry and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Regression analysis of ellipsometric spectra has shown that absorption peak decreases and blue shifted with the decrease of bilayer thickness in the stack. On the basis of the analysis of structural a…

Resonant Raman scattering in self-assembledGaN∕AlNquantum dots
2006
Self-assembled $\mathrm{Ga}\mathrm{N}∕\mathrm{Al}\mathrm{N}$ quantum dots have been investigated by means of Raman scattering. A resonant enhancement of the Raman peaks has been observed when the excitation is tuned above the GaN band-gap energy. The polar mode nature, either quasiconfined or interfacial, has been assigned after comparing with the polar optical modes of spheroidal dots calculated within the framework of the anisotropic dielectric continuum model. The built-in strain of the GaN dots induced a substantial blueshift of the nonpolar ${E}_{2H}$ Raman mode frequency. A theoretical model that analyzes the three-dimensional strain distribution in the quantum dots has been employed …
Spectral anomalies in supercontinuum focused waves
2006
The diffraction-induced spectral anomalies in the focal plane of an apertured spherical wave with supercontinuum flat-top power spectrum are investigated. Coherent broadband radiation (also incoherent white light) demonstrates a strong blue shift in the vicinity of the optical axis, and discrete spectral gaps with overall red shift arise out of this central region. Unlike narrow-band light, the spectral switch effect fades away with ultra-broad spectra.
Fluctuating laser field that induces a blueshift in harmonic generation
1998
The spectrum of a two-level atom in the presence of a multimode laser pulse is calculated. The field is allowed to fluctuate in amplitude or in phase; the emitted spectrum has richer emission lines than in the case of the nonfluctuating field and shows peaks shifted toward the blue with respect to the traditional harmonic peaks. The position of the lines is predicted by the formula ω2n+1=(2n+1)(1+Δ)ωL with Δ being a parameter that can be found numerically. In this way the fluctuations seem to result in an effective increase of the laser frequency.
Chandra X-ray spectroscopy of a clear dip in GX 13+1
2014
The source GX 13+1 is a persistent, bright Galactic X-ray binary hosting an accreting neutron star. It shows highly ionized absorption features, with a blueshift of $\sim$ 400 km s$^{-1}$ and an outflow-mass rate similar to the accretion rate. Many other X-ray sources exhibit warm absorption features, and they all show periodic dipping behavior at the same time. Recently, a dipping periodicity has also been determined for GX 13+1 using long-term X-ray folded light-curves, leading to a clear identification of one of such periodic dips in an archival Chandra observation. We give the first spectral characterization of the periodic dip of GX 13+1 found in this archival Chandra observation perfo…

Effect of t-BuS vs. n-BuS on the topology, Cu⋯Cu distances and luminescence properties of 2D Cu4I4/RS(CH2)4SR metal–organic frameworks
2011
CuI reacts with RS(CH2)4SR (R = n-Bu (L1); t-Bu (L2)) to afford the 2D coordination polymers [Cu4I4{μ-RS(CH2)4SR}2]n (R = n-Bu (1); t-Bu (2)). Their grid networks exhibit nodal Cu4(μ3-I)4 clusters interconnected by dithioethers with mean Cu⋯Cu distances of 2.7265(10) and 2.911(2) A for 1 and 2, respectively. This difference translates in a blue shift of the solid state emission bands and a decrease in emission lifetimes when trading R = n-Bu to the bulky t-Bu.
From linear quaterthiophene to sulflower: A comparative theoretical study
2009
Abstract In this paper, we report a theoretical study of four types of thiophene-based oligomers showing the same number of C C double bonds and very different molecular structures. The comparative study has been performed on the basis of B3LYP/6-31G∗∗ calculations. The way the thiophene rings are linked together has a remarkable influence on the molecular and electronic properties. Linear quaterthiophene and heptathienoacene show similar aromatic structures but a loss of π-conjugation is detected for the latter due to the condensation of thiophene rings. A blue shift of the most intense electronic transition is predicted for fused heptathienoacene compared with non-fused quaterthiophene. C…
