Electromagnetic shielding efficiency in Ka-band: carbon foam versus epoxy/carbon nanotube composites
2012
The wide application of microwaves stimulates searching for new materials with high electrical conductivity and electromagnetic (EM) interference shielding effectiveness (SE). We conducted a comparative study of EM SE in K a -band demonstrated by ultra-light micro-structural porous carbon solids (carbon foams) of different bulk densities, 0.042 to 0.150 g/cm 3 , and conventional flexible epoxy resin filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in small concentrations, 1.5 wt.%. Microwave probing of carbon foams showed that the transmission through a 2 mm-thick layer strongly decreases with decreasing the pore size up to the level of 0.6%, due to a rise of reflectance ability. At the same time, 1 mm…
Er3+-doped GeGaSbS glasses for mid-IR fibre laser application: Synthesis and rare earth spectroscopy
2008
International audience; With an infrared transparency extended to 10 µm, low multiphonon relaxation rates and suitable rare earth solubility, sulphide glasses in the Ge-Ga-Sb-S system allow radiative emission from rare earth ions in the mid-IR range. The Er3+ ion, widely studied in glass fibres for optical amplification at 1.5 µm, presents an interesting transition for mid-IR applications around 4.5 µm (4I9/2→ 4I11/2). Thus, the aim of this work is to evaluate the Er3+-doped Ge20Ga5Sb10S65 glass as a potential fibre laser source operating in the 3-5 µm mid-IR spectral region. For that purpose, absorption and emission spectra were recorded from visible to mid-IR and the radiative lifetimes o…
Performance Study of Split Ferrite Cores Designed for EMI Suppression on Cables
2020
The ideal procedure to start designing an electronic device is to consider the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) from the beginning. Even so, EMC problems can appear afterward, especially when the designed system is interconnected with external devices. Thereby, electromagnetic interferences (EMIs) could be transmitted to our device from power cables that interconnect it with an external power source or are connected to another system to establish wired communication. The application of an EMI suppressor such as a sleeve core that encircles the cables is a widely used technique to attenuate EM disturbances. This contribution is focused on the characterization of a variation of this cable …
Application of AC and DC magnetic field for surface wave excitation to enhance mass transfer
2020
Abstract Refining the metallic melts and removal of contaminants from the free surface may be sped up by increasing the surface area of mass exchange interface. It is relevant to both the case of volatile impurity evaporation in a vacuum as well as the case of chemical reactions when the continuous crust of reaction products should be interrupted. Previously proposed low-frequency AC magnetic field excitation of intense surface waves is limited by skin-effect. The induced sign-alternating forcing at high dimensionless frequency values becomes dominantly pulsing at considerably higher than unity values, delivering time-averaged stirring without intense surface waves. Superimposing DC magneti…
Luminescence Center Excited State Absorption in Calcium and Zinc Tungsates
2002
The tungstate crystals are well known scintillators. The mechanism of luminescence center formation and the luminescence center model are under discussion today. The results of time-resolved spectroscopy of luminescence center in ZnWO4 and CaWO4 in wide temperature regions was presented. The luminescence and induced absorption under pulsed electron beam excitation (pulse duration 10 ns, 0.26 MeV) were studied. The experimental equipment used allows one to obtain the transient absorption spectra, luminescence decay kinetics and transient absorption relaxation times.
Excitons in SiO2: a review
1992
Abstract In this paper, excitonic properties of crystalline and glassy SiO 2 are reviewed. Experimental spectroscopic data (optical absorption and reflection spectra, as well as spectra of luminescence and its excitation), luminescence decay kinetics at different temperatures, and photoelectric properties — photoconductivity and photoelectron emission — were used to determine excitons in SiO 2 . Information on migration of excitons was obtained on the basis of energy transport to impurity luminescence centers, the latter being detectors of quasiparticles. Determination of excitonic properties in glassy SiO 2 was based on the comparison of the observed phenomena in crystalline and glassy mat…
Optical properties of wurtzite and rock-salt ZnO under pressure
2005
Abstract This paper reports on the pressure dependence of the optical absorption edge of ZnO in the wurtzite and rock-salt phase, up to 14 GPa. Both vapor-phase monocrystals and pulsed-laser-deposition thin films have been investigated. In both types of samples the wurtzite to rock-salt transition is observed at 9.7±0.2 GPa. The absorption tail of the fundamental gap, as measured in monocrystals, exhibits a pressure coefficient of 24.5±2 meV/GPa. The evolution under pressure of the full absorption edge of the wurtzite phase is studied with thin film samples, yielding a slightly lower pressure coefficient (23.0±0.5 meV/GPa for the A–B exciton). Rock-salt ZnO is shown to be an indirect semico…
Phonon contribution to the absorption of ultrasound in amorphous solids at moderately low temperatures
1998
Abstract Sound absorbtion in amorphous solids is considered to be due to the scattering of sound waves from the thermal phonons. It is shown that the dependence of the absorption coefficient on the temperature displays a maximum in the interval 10≲T≲100 K . The frequency dependence of the absorption coefficient is investigated. Numerical calculations for amorphous Mg and Zn illustrate the theoretical results.
Transmission properties at microwave frequencies of two-dimensional metallic lattices
1999
The transmission properties of different metallic photonic lattices (square and rectangular) have been experimentally studied. A numerical algorithm based on time domain finite differences has been used for simulating these photonic structures. The introduction of defects in the two-dimensional metallic lattice modifies its transmission spectrum. If metal rods are eliminated from (or added to) the lattice, extremely narrow peaks are observed at some particular frequencies below (or above) the band pass edge.

Direct temporal reconstruction of picosecond pulse by cross-correlation in semiconductor device
2012
Cross-correlation measurements using the two-photon absorption process in a semiconductor is experimentally demonstrated for two pulses of different wavelengths (shifted by ~200 nm) and durations (20 times ratio). These measurements were found to be highly repeatable and fully suitable for the determination of the temporal intensity profile of picosecond (ps) pulses.
