Resonant subband Landau level coupling in symmetric quantum well

Subband structure and depolarization shifts in an ultrahigh mobility GaAs/Al0.24Ga0.76As quantum well are studied using magnetoinfrared spectroscopy via resonant subband Landau level coupling. Resonant couplings between the first and up to the fourth subbands are identified by well-separated antilevel-crossing split resonance, while the hy-lying subbands were identified by the cyclotron resonance linewidth broadening in the literature. In addition, a forbidden intersubband transition (first to third) has been observed. With the precise determination of the subband structure, we find that the depolarization shift can be well described by the semiclassical slab plasma model and the possible origins for the forbidden transition are discussed.

Magnetospectroscopy of bound phonons in high purity GaAs

Far infrared magnetophotoconductivity performed on high purity GaAs reveals the existence of fine structures in the resonant magnetopolaron regions. The fine structures are attributed to the presence of bound phonons due to multiphonon processes. We demonstrate that the magnetopolaron energy spectrum consists of bound phonon branches and magnetopolaron branches. Our results also indicate that different phonons are bound to a single impurity, and that the bound phonon in Si-doped GaAs is a quasilocalized mode.

A study of isomeric diglycosyl flavonoids by SORI CID of Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass Spectrometry in negative ion mode

High-resolution Sustained off resonance irradiation (SORI) CID was employed to distinguish four pairs of isomeric diglycosyl flavonoids in the negative mode using the electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FTICR MS). All of these isomers can be distinguished via MS/MS data. For these diglycosyl flavones and flavanones, the deprotonated alpha 1-->6 linkage diglycosyl flavonoids produce fewer fragments than the alpha 1-->2 linkage type compounds and the Retro-Diels-Alder (RDA) reaction in MS/MS only takes place when the aglycone is a flavanone and glycosylated with an alpha 1-->2 intersaccharide linkage disaccharide. The deprotonation sites after collisional activation are discussed according to the high mass accuracy and high-resolution data of tandem spectrometry. Some of these high-resolution SORI CID product ions from alpha 1-->2 linkage diglycosyl flavonoids involve multibond cleavages; the possible mechanism is discussed based on the computer modeling using Gaussian 03 program package at the B3LYP/6-31G level of theory. Unambiguous elementary composition data provides fragmentation information that has not been reported previously.

Electron transfer between Eu3+ and Tb3+ in BaB4O7 matrix

The BaB4O7:Eu, Tb phosphors are first synthesized in air atmosphere. We investigate their luminescent properties, and find that europium(II) and europium(III) can coexist in the BaB4O7:Eu phosphor. We observed that the relative intensity of europium(II) is increased when terbium(III) is incorporated. The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra are carried out. The intensity of ESR peaks corresponding to europium(II) is also increased when terbium(III) is increased, so the valency state of europium is influenced by terbium(III). We explain these phenomena by an electron transfer mechanism. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

ELECTRON-TRANSFER BETWEEN EU AND TB IN COMPLEX FLUORIDES

Europium (II) and europium (III) have been observed in MMgF(4):xEu, yTb (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) phosphors using their typical photoluminescence spectra when are synthesized in Ar or an Ar/H-2 stream. The valence state of Eu is influenced by terbium. It is notable that the intensities of the electron spin resonance peaks corresponding to Eu2+ change in a regular way when terbium ions are incorporated which can be explained by an electron transfer mechanism.

MAGNETIC-RESONANCE EXPERIMENTS ON UNDOPED AND DOPED POLY(PARA-PHENYLENE)

We investigated the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of undoped, FeCl3- and iodine-doped poly(para-phenylene) (PPP) prepared by the method of Kovacic. EPR measurements are used to characterize electronic states relevant for carrier transport in doped PPP. We found a novel dependence of room temperature linewidth (DELTAH(pp)) and spin density (N(spin)) on the dopant concentrations for iodine-doped PPP, namely, DELTAH(pp) first decreased and increased, and then decreased and increased again with increasing iodine concentration in the iodine-doped PPP. The corresponding value of N(spin) first increased and decreased, and then increased and decreased again with increasing iodine concentration in PPP. However, the changes in DELTAH(pp) and N(spin) with FeCl3 concentration in FeCl3-doped PPP differ from those of iodine-doped PPP. We explain the different EPR properties in FeCl3-doped and iodine-doped PPP.

Characterization of iron atoms in the framework of MFI-type zeolites by UV resonance Raman spectroscopy

Silicalite-I, ZSM-5, and Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites prepared from two different silicon sources are characterized by UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron spin resonance (ESR), and UV/visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV/Vis DRS). A new technique for investigating zeolitic structure, UV resonance Raman spectroscopy selectively enhances the Raman bands associated with framework iron atoms incorporated into MFI-type zeolites, and it is very sensitive in identifying the iron atoms in the framework of zeolites, while other techniques such as XRD, ESR, and UV/Vis DRS have failed in uncovering trace amounts of iron atoms in the framework of zeolites.

Codoping Na+ to modulate the spectroscopy and photoluminescence properties of Yb3+ in CaF2 laser crystal

kinds of Yb3+- and Na+-codoped CaF2 laser crystal with different Na:Yb ratios of 0, 1.5, and 10 are grown by the temperature gradient technique. Room-temperature absorption, photoluminescence spectra, and fluorescence lifetimes belonging to the transitions between ground state F-2(7/2) and excited state F-2(5/2) of Yb3+ ions in the three crystals are measured to study the effect of Na+. Experimental results show that codoping Na+ ions in different Na:Yb ratios can modulate the spectroscopy and photoluminescence properties of Yb3+ ions in a CaF2 lattice in a large scope.

飞秒激光辐照K9玻璃引起的暗化和折射率变化

对不同辐照条件下近红外飞秒激光在K9玻璃内部诱导产生的暗化现象和永久性折射率改变进行了实验研究。通过辐照前后的显微镜图片、吸收光谱、电子自旋共振谱(ESR)以及激光衍射实验，分析了K9玻璃中暗化现象产生的微观过程，发现暗化是由诱导产生的空穴型色心引起的。暗化程度和折射率改变随激光强度、扫描速度、扫描行间距变化而变化。光致色心的形成与非线性电离有关。对折射率永久性改变进行了简单说明，其机理仍在探索中。

Sites structure and spectroscopic properties of Yb-doped and Yb, Na-codoped CaF2 laser crystals

For the first time, the effect of Na+ on crystal structure, valence state of Yb ions, spectroscopic properties of YbF3-doped CaF2 system was systematically studied. Na+ can greatly suppress the deoxidization of Yb3+ to Yb2+. Absorption and emission spectra showed codoping Na+ with different Na:Yb ratios can modulate the spectroscopy and photoluminescence properties of Yb3+ ions in CaF2 lattice in a large scope. The emission lifetime and quantum efficiency of Yb3+ in CaF2 were greatly enhanced by the codopant of Na+. The potential laser performances of the new Yb, Na-codoped CaF2 crystals were predicted.

Photoreduction of Ag+ in aluminoborate glasses induced by irradiation of a femtosecond laser

We report on photoreduction of Ag+ in aluminoborate glasses induced by irradiation of a femtosecond laser. Novel fluorescence was observed in the femtosecond laser irradiated glass when excited by a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp. Optical absorption, emission, and electron spin resonance spectra of the glass samples demonstrated that after the laser irradiation, portions of silver ions near the focused part of the laser beam inside the glass were reduced to silver atoms, which resulted in the formation of the characteristic fluorescence. The observed phenomenon may have promising applications in the fabrication of functional optical devices.

利用DSC和EPR技术研究杜仲种子的贮藏条件

种子贮藏稳定性对于种质资源的长期保存具有重要意义，目前关于种子贮藏的最新理论为玻璃态理论，该理论认为种子的玻璃化有利于种子的长期贮藏。当种子处于玻璃态时，玻璃化物质的高度粘滞性降低了种子细胞内分子流动性，阻止了细胞质中分子的扩散，从而减少老化过程中细胞结构的损伤和化学组分的变化，延缓种子老化劣变反应速率，延长贮藏寿命。评价玻璃态的一个重要指标是玻璃化转变温度，当种子贮藏于玻璃化温度或以下10℃～30℃范围内时，种子具有最佳的贮藏稳定性。因此，检测种子的玻璃化转变温度对于种子的长期有效贮藏具有重要指导意义。 本研究将差示量热扫描技术（DSC）与电子顺磁共振波谱仪技术（EPR）应用于杜仲种子玻璃化转变温度方面的研究。在DSC方法中，选用4.4%～31.6%含水量范围的杜仲种胚分别进行了DSC图谱扫描。EPR方法选用3-羧基-2,2,5,5-四甲基吡咯烷-1-氧（3-carboxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl，CP）和2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶（4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy，TEMPO）作为探针标记杜仲种胚， 利用EPR技术测定不同含水量杜仲种胚的分子运动，通过对EPR图谱参数的分析计算，最终确定不同含水量杜仲种胚的玻璃化转变温度。 DSC实验结果显示，含水量为22.3%、28.0%、31.6%的杜仲种胚在0℃ 左右出现了一个水的熔融峰。该熔融峰的面积代表了自由水含量的多少，随着种胚含水量的降低该熔融峰面积减小。4.4%～31.6%含水量范围的杜仲种胚在-28℃左右还出现了一个熔融峰，推测此峰为杜仲种胚中某类物质熔融所形成的熔融峰。然而在此曲线上我们未观察到标志玻璃化转变的“台阶”出现。 CP-EPR实验的结果表明，利用EPR测定得到含水量为4.4%～11.6%的杜仲种胚在-110℃～20℃温度范围内，同一含水量的杜仲种胚随着温度的升高，分子运动速率加快;在同一温度条件下，高含水量的种胚比低含水量种胚的分子运动速率快。通过CP-EPR波谱两外缘峰最大距离（2Azz）的测定和数据统计分析，得到含水量为4.4%、5.7%、8.6%、10.3%、11.6%杜仲种胚的玻璃化转变温度分别约为44℃、25℃、4℃、-31℃、-43℃。可以把测定的杜仲种胚的这几个含水量的玻璃化转变温度与杜仲种子贮藏相结合，用于指导杜仲种子的贮藏。 TEMPO-EPR实验测定分析得到含水量为2.1%、3.4%、4.8%、8.3%、11.2% 的杜仲种胚的玻璃化转变温度分别为-21℃、-18℃、-24℃、-20℃、-27℃，玻璃化转变温度随含水量升高其变化的规律不明显，这与CP-EPR实验测得的结果有着较明显的差别。通过分析，认为对于脂质含量较高的杜仲种胚，随着含水量的降低，作为标记化合物的TEMPO随着脱水进入脂相，从而不能真实反映出不同含水量种胚的分子运动情况。与TEMPO标记相比，CP标记可能能够更真实地反映不同含水量杜仲种胚细胞质分子运动的情况，根据其分子运动情况得到的玻璃化转变温度更准确。

Transmission properties through a double quantum dot with a wave packet

The transmiss on time and tunneling probability of an electron through a double quantum dot are studied using the transfer matrix technique. The time-dependent Schrodinger equation is applied for a Gaussian wave packet passing through the double quantum clot. The numerical calculations are carried out for a double quantum clot consisting of GaAs/InAs material. We find that the electron tunneling resonance peaks split when the electron transmits through the double quantum dot. The splitting energy increases as the distance between the two quantum dots decreases. The transmission time can be elicited from the temporal evolution of the Gaussian wave packet in the double quantum dot. The transmission time increases quickly as the thickness of tire barrier increases. The lifetime of the resonance state is calculated tram the temporal evolution of the Gaussian-state at the centers of quantum dots.

Radiation hardness improvement of separation-by-implantation-of-oxygen/silicon-on-insulator material by nitrogen ion implantation

In our work, nitrogen ions were implanted into separation-by-implantation-of-oxygen (SIMOX) wafers to improve the radiation hardness of the SIMOX material. The experiments of secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis showed that some nitrogen ions were distributed in the buried oxide layers and some others were collected at the Si/SiO2 interface after annealing. The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) suggested the density of the defects in the nitrided samples changed with different nitrogen ion implantation energies. Semiconductor-insulator-semiconductor (SIS) capacitors were made on the materials, and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were carried out to confirm the results. The super total dose radiation tolerance of the materials was verified by the small increase of the drain leakage current of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor with n-channel (NMOSFETs) fabricated on the materials before and after total dose irradiation. The optimum implantation energy was also determined.
