Thermal analysis of glasses in TeO2-BaF2-LaF3 systems

Divalent metal fluorides MF2 (M=Sr, Mg, Ca) in oxyfluoride tellurite glasses TeO2-BaF2-LaF3 were synthesized. The densities, refractive indices and characteristic temperatures of synthesized glasses were measured. The influence of divalent metal fluorides MF2 (M=Sr, Mg, Ca) on the thermal stability of oxyfluoride tellurite glasses TeO2-BaF2-LaF3 were studied. Results show that the replacement of BaF2 by SrF2 and MgF2 can enhance the thermal stability against crystallization of the glass. A glass system with good thermal stability was produced, which could be a potential candidate for the host materials of the fiber devices.

First-principles study of the electronic structures and absorption spectra for the PbMoO4 crystal with lead vacancy

The electronic structures and absorption spectra for the perfect PbMoO4 crystal and the crystal containing lead vacancy V-Pb(2-) with lattice structure optimized are calculated using density functional theory code CASTEP. The calculated absorption spectra of the PbMoO4 crystal containing V-Pb(2-) exhibit three absorption bands peaking at 2.0 eV (620 nm), 3.0 eV (413 run) and 3.3 eV (375 nm), which are in good agreement with experimental values. The theory predicts that the 390 nm, 430 nm and 580 run absorption bands are related to the existence of V-Pb(2-) in the PbMoO4 crystal.

Design and properties analysis of multi-layer dielectric used in pulse compressor gratings

Used in chirped-pulse amplification system and based on multi-layer thin film stack, pulse compressor gratings (PCG) are etched by ion-beam and holographic techniques. Diffraction efficiency and laser-induced damage threshold rely on the structural parameters of gratings. On the other hand, they depend greatly on the design of multi-layer. A theoretic design is given for dielectric multi-layer, which is exposed at 413.1 nm and used at 1053 nm. The influences of coating design on optical characters are described in detail. The analysis shows that a coating stack of H3L (H2L) (boolean AND) 9H0.5L2.01H meets the specifications of PCG well. And there is good agreement of transmission between experimental and the theoretic design. (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Characteristics of high reflection mirror with an SiO2 top layer for multilayer dielectric grating

The high reflection (HR) mirror composed of dielectric stacks with excellent spectrum characteristics and high damage resistant ability is critical for fabricating multilayer dielectric (MLD) grating for pulse compressor. The selection of the SiO2 material as the top layer of the HR mirror for grating fabrication is beneficial for improving the laser-induced damage threshold of MLD grating as well as minimizing the standing-wave effect in the photoresist during the exposure process. Based on an (HLL) H-9 design comprising quarter-waves of HfO2 ( H) and half-waves of SiO2 ( L), we obtain an optimal design of the HR mirror for MLD grating, the SiO2 top layer of which is optimized with a merit function including both the diffraction efficiency of the MLD grating and the electric field enhancement in the grating. Dependence of the performance of the MLD grating on the fabrication error of the dielectric mirror is analysed in detail. The HR mirror is also fabricated by E-beam evaporation, which shows good spectral characteristics at the exposure wavelength of 413 nm and at the operation wavelength of 1053 nm and an average damage threshold of 10 J cm(-2) for a 12 ns pulse.

Optimization of thin-film design for multi-layer dielectric grating

Thin-film design used to fabricate multi-layer dielectric (MLD) gratings should provide high transmittance during holography exposure, high reflectance at use wavelength and sufficient manufacturing latitude of the grating design making the MLD grating achieve both high diffraction efficiency and low electric field enhancement. Based on a (HLL)H-9 design comprising of quarter-waves of high-index material and half-waves of low-index material, we obtain an optimum MLD coating meeting these requirements by inserting a matching layer being half a quarter-wave of Al2O3 between the initial design and an optimized HfO2 top layer. The optimized MLD coatings exhibits a low reflectance of 0.017% under photoresist at the exposure angle of 17.8 degrees for 413 nm light and a high reflectance of 99.61% under air at the use angle of 51.2 degrees for 1053 nm light. Numerical calculation of intensity distribution in the photoresist coated on the MLD film during exposure shows that standing-wave patterns are greatly minimized and thus simulation profile of photoresist gratings after development demonstrates smoother shapes with lower roughness. Furthermore, a MLD gratings with grooves etched into the top layer of this MLD coating provides a high diffraction efficiency of 99.5% and a low electric field enhancement ratio of 1.53. This thin-film design shows perfect performances and can be easily fabricated by e-beam evaporation. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

稻属Oryza rufipogon和Oryza nivara的遗传多样性和居群分化研究

普通野生稻(Oryza rufipogon Griff.)和尼瓦拉野生稻(O. nivara Sharma et Shastry)是亚洲栽培稻的最近缘野生种，是亚洲栽培稻育种和遗传改良的重要基因库。由于人类的破坏、生境片段化及亚洲栽培稻的遗传渐渗等因素，这两种野生稻处于濒危状态而急需保护。本文用微卫星标记研究中国普通野生稻居群的遗传多样性和居群分化，用核基因序列研究了全分布区的普通野生稻和尼瓦拉野生稻的遗传变异及模式，同时发现了巴布亚新几内亚普通野生稻的特殊分子变异。主要结果如下： 取自中国普通野生稻四个主要分布区的12个天然居群，共237份个体材料，利用10对微卫星引物对遗传多样性进行比较研究。结果表明这些居群的遗传多样性处于中高水平，其中每个位点的等位基因数之在2至18之间不等，平均10.6个，多态位点比率P从最低40.0%最高100%，平均为83.3%。观察杂合度在 (HO) 0.163-0.550变化，平均为0.332, 期望杂合度(HE) 在0.164- 0.648，平均 0.413，从地区来看，广西居群的遗传多样性水平是最高的，其次是广东、海南居群，江西的最低。这些结果与以前用其他分子标记得到的结果基本一致。但是本研究得到的居群间遗传分化却相对较高，分化系数RST为 0.5199，θ为 0.491，这表明一半左右的遗传变异存在于居群之间。两两居群之间的分化系数(pairwise θ)与地理距离呈正相关(r = 0.464)，这表明中国普通野生稻居群之间的遗传分化是由于地理的隔离造成的。造成目前这种遗传结构和分化模式的主要原因在于普通野生稻生境的破坏和生境的片段化。 选择6个普通野生稻居群，5个尼瓦拉野生稻居群共11个居群105个个体材料为研究对象，取样覆盖两个野生稻的主要分布区，用核基因片段Lhs1研究了这两种野生稻的序列水平的变异，探讨了它们的遗传结构和基因流方向。结果表明，普通野生稻的核苷酸多样性，无论在居群还是物种水平上，均显著高于尼瓦拉野生稻的。在居群水平上，普通野生稻的核苷酸多样性(Hd = 0.712; θsil = 0.0017)是尼瓦拉野生稻的2-3倍(Hd = 0.306; θsil = 0.0005)。AMOVA的结果表明，尼瓦拉野生稻居群之间的遗传分化(78.2%)显著高于普通野生稻居群间的分化(52.3%)。造成这种不同层次的遗传多样性和完全不同的遗传分化模式的原因在于这两种野生稻差异显著的生活史和交配系统。普通野生稻是多年生、异交的野生种，营养与有性繁殖混合，尼瓦拉野生稻为一年生的自交种，靠种子繁殖。模拟分析表明，二者之间的基因流方向是单向的，明显是从自交的尼瓦拉野生稻到异交的普通野生稻，基因流在这两个野生 稻遗传多样性模式的形成上，扮演至关重要的角色。 对于稻属A基因组物种的进化和多样性来说, 巴布亚新几内亚(PNG)是个很重要的地方。我们用两个核基因和一个叶绿体基因，对巴布亚新几内亚的普通野生稻样品进行了序列分析，结果发现来自巴布亚新几内亚北部Sepik河谷的普通野生稻样品在核基因Os0053位点和叶绿体基因序列上与其他地区的样品有很大的差异。巴布亚新几内亚北部的普通野生稻在Os0053位点上杂合的，其中一条等位基因与普通野生稻基本一致，另一条等位基因则与A基因组的另一个物种O. meridionalis基本一致，证明巴布亚新几内亚北部的普通野生稻实际上是亚洲典型普通野生稻与澳洲野生稻O. meridionalis种间进行天然渐渗杂交的后代。这个结果从分子序列上验证了前人有关巴布亚新几内亚北部的普通野生稻是比较特殊的观点。
