Localized states in wide-gap oxide glasses
1997
Localized states manifest themselves by light absorption at the optical gap of a glass and by luminescence excited there with Stoke's shift. They are created by the minority structural motifs of one or many structural modifications in which a material can exist, and which can provide electronic states absorption at the optical gap. Their wavefunctions overlapping determine the luminescence intensity dependence on the temperature [I(T)on the order of magnitude exp(- T/T 0 )] and power law (t -1 ) of luminescence decay kinetics, which include intra-center processes due to triplet-singlet transitions and recombination processes due to a tunnel and overbarrier transitions, as well as a fast com…
Evidence for reverse pathways and equilibrium in singlet energy transfers between an artificial special pair and an antenna
2013
A dyad, 1, built on an artificial special pair (bis(meso-nonyl)zinc(II)porphyrin), [Zn2], a spacer (biphenylene), a bridge (1,4-benzene), and an antenna (di-meso-(3,5-di(t-butyl)phenyl)porphyrin free base), FB, is prepared by Suzuki coupling and is analyzed by absorption and steady state, and time-resolved emission spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K. Using bases from the Förster theory, evidence for two pathways for S 1 energy transfer, FB* → [Zn2], and [Zn2]* → FB, along with their respective rates, k ET ( S 1)1 and k ET ( S 1)-1, are extracted from the comparison of the fluorescence decays monitored at the emission maximum. At 77 K, the unquenched (1.79 ([Zn2]) and 10.6 ns (FB)) and quenched c…
A new interpretation for the structure of the VN bands of ethylene
1971
Abstract Potential surfaces for CC stretch and CH2 twisting of ethylene obtained by the combined SCF CI method lead to the prediction that non-vertical transitions are responsible for the absorption maximum in the VN bands and that the broad diffuse nature of the spectrum in this region could well be caused by the proximity of two states of the same symmetry of the twisted molecule.
Effect of Mn Doping on the Optical Properties of Chalcogenide Compounds ZnS and ZnTe
2020
In this paper, the influence of the addition of Mn on the optical properties of the binary compounds ZnS and ZnTe deposited by a close-spaced vacuum sublimation method onto nonoriented glass at different substrate temperatures was considered. The spectral dependences of the transmittance T (λ), reflectance R (λ) and the absorption α (λ), as well as the bandgap for each material (Eg) were measured and calculated.
Optical properties of lithium niobate single crystals
2005
Studies of thermal and γ-irradiation effects on the optical properties in congruous lithium niobate single crystals containing Y, Mg, Gd, B, and Zn dopants including samples with double dopants Y, Mg and Gd, Mg are reported. Formation of defects at irradiation and thermal treatment of the samples is explored by electron absorption spectra. Considerable increase of absorption with the dose of γ-radiation is observed at 500 nm. The changes of absorption examined under different conditions are explained by creation and destruction of Nb 4 + defects.
Optical absorption of zinc selenide doped with cobalt (Zn1−xCoxSe) under hydrostatic pressure
2000
Abstract The optical absorption of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1−xCOxSe (x = 0.02) has been measured at room temperature under hydrostatic pressure up to 14GPa in a membrane diamond-anvil cell. We found two absorption features: (i) an absorption structure in the energy range 1.6−1.8eV, with a negligible pressure shift (i.e., 0.45 ± 0.05 meV/GPa) which we have identified as the Co2+(3d7) internal transition 4A2(F)→+4T1(P) and (ii) an onset in the energy range 2−2.7eV which redshifts with pressure (−8.1±0.6meV/GPa). We have attributed such absorption edge to charge transfer between the ZnSe valence band and the Co2+(3d7) levels.
Synthesis and Electronic Spectra of Substitutedp-Distyrylbenzenes for the Use in Light-Emitting Diodes
2000
The influence of substitution on the absorption and Luminescence spectra of oligo(phenylenevinylene)s has been studied using distyrylbenzene (DSB) as a model compound. The degree, character, and pattern of substitution was varied systematically, altering the electronic properties of the DSB, the wavelength of the emitted light could be tuned over a range of 100 nm. The syntheses of 6b—h were performed by twofold Wittig Horner-olefinations of bisphoshonates 1a, b with substituted benzaldehydes 2a—i, 6ivia Heck-reaction of the dibromosulfonylbenzene 3, 6k by Siegrist-reaction of 4 with N-phenylbenzaldimine and the Knoevenagel-reaction of benzyl cyanide with 5 led to 6l.
High-contrast sub-Doppler absorption spikes in a hot atomic vapor cell exposed to a dual-frequency laser field
2017
International audience; The saturated absorption technique is an elegant method widely used in atomic and molecular physics for high-resolution spectroscopy, laser frequency standards and metrology purposes. We have recently discovered that a saturated absorption scheme with a dual-frequency laser can lead to a significant sign reversal of the usual Doppler-free dip, yielding a deep enhanced-absorption spike. In this paper, we report detailed experimental investigations of this phenomenon, together with a full in-depth theoretical description. It is shown that several physical effects can support or oppose the formation of the high-contrast central spike in the absorption profile. The physi…
Energy transfer in diiodoBodipy-grafted upconversion nanohybrids.
2015
Steady-state and time-resolved emission studies on nanohybrids consisting of NaYF4:Yb,Er and a diiodo-substituted Bodipy (UCNP-IBDP) show that the Yb(3+) metastable state, formed after absorption of a near-infrared (NIR) photon, can decay via two competitive energy transfer processes: sensitization of IBDP after absorption of a second NIR photon and population of Er(3+) excited states.
Multipactor radiation analysis within a waveguide region based on a frequency-domain representation of the dynamics of charged particles
2009
[EN] A technique for the accurate computation of the electromagnetic fields radiated by a charged particle moving within a parallel-plate waveguide is presented. Based on a transformation of the time-varying current density of the particle into a time-harmonic current density, this technique allows the evaluation of the radiated electromagnetic fields both in the frequency and time domains, as well as in the near- and far-field regions. For this purpose, several accelerated versions of the parallel-plate Green's function in the frequency domain have been considered. The theory has been successfully applied to the multipactor discharge occurring within a two metal-plates region. The proposed…
