Effect of the InAlAs and InGaAs combination strain-reducing layer on 1.3 mu m emission self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) with differing deposition thicknesses covered by InxAl1-xAs (x = 0.2, 0.3) and In0.2Ga0.8As combination strain-reducing layers (CSRLs) were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Their structural and optical properties were investigated by atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy, respectively. The emission peak position of InAs QDs capped by CSRL can reach 1.34 mum at room temperature with a relatively larger energy splitting of 93 meV between the ground and first excited states.

Color center conversion by femtosecond pulse laser irradiation in LiF : F-2 crystals

We report the observation of intense spontaneous emission of green light from LiF:F-2:F-3(+) centers in active channel waveguides generated in lithium fluoride crystals by near-infrared femtosecond laser radiation. While irradiating the crystal at room temperature with 405 nm light from a laser diode, yellow and green emission was seen by the naked eye. Stripe waveguides were fabricated by translating the crystal along the irradiated laser pulse, and their guiding properties and fluorescence spectra at 540 nm demonstrated. This single-step process inducing a waveguide structure offers a good prospect for the development of a waveguide laser in bulk LiF crystals.

聚丙烯酸钠对3种土壤持水能力及作物产量的影响

在离心机模拟不同水吸力条件下,研究了聚丙烯酸钠(sodium polyacrylate记作SP)5种使用浓度(占干土质量0,0.01%,0.08%,0.2%与1%)对3种土壤(砂土、壤土、黏土)持水能力的影响;采用大田试验研究了地表撒施2 g/m2SP对冬小麦与下季玉米产量及WUE影响。结果表明:3种土壤在0.01 MPa至1.5 MPa水吸力下的持水能力随着SP用量的增加而增加,砂土的作用效果较壤土、黏土更显著;3种土壤适宜浓度为0.08%~0.2%,最佳用量为0.2%,此用量条件下砂土、壤土、黏土的最大毛管持水量分别较对照增加了138.61%,7.22%,62.70%;不灌水条件下,SP处理较不施用SP冬小麦增产4%,WUE增加5.7%,灌浆期灌水28.5 mm条件下SP处理较不施用SP增产1%,WUE降低1%;SP处理的玉米产量较对照降低0.5%,WUE提高3%,效果明显低于对冬小麦效果。
