Large three-photon absorption and intramolecular charge transfer of the bis-donor fluorene-based molecules

Three-photon absorption (3PA) of two fluorene-based molecules with D-pi-D structural motifs (abbreviated as BPAF and BCZF) has been determined by using a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser pumped with 38 ps pulses at 1064 nm in DMF. The measured 3PA cross-sections are 222 and 140 x 10(-78) cm(6) s(2) for BPAF and BCZF, respectively. AM1 calculations show that attaching different donors changes the charge density distribution of the fluorene skeleton, and it is observed that the 3PA cross-section can be enhanced with increasing intramolecular charge transfer character, measured by the parameter Delta p(1)/Delta p(2)/Delta p(1)'.

A new strategy of enhancing two-photon absorption in benzothiazole-containing fluorene molecules: Introduction of auxiliary donor-acceptor effects

A series of benzothiazole-containing fluorene molecules have been designed and their one- and two-photon absorption properties have been investigated theoretically by using the ZINDO method. The effects of electron-excessive/deficient heterocyclic bridges as auxiliary donors (auxD)/acceptors (auxA) on TPA cross-sections were studied. The results show that the molecules with D-pi-auxA-A, D-aux D-pi-A, or D-auxD-pi-auxA-A structure types have large TPA cross-section, which can be a valuable strategy in the design of two-photon absorption materials. Also, a linear relationship between the first hyperpolarizability and the TPA cross-section is observed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Theoretical investigation on the one- and two-photon absorption properties for a series of symmetrical charge transfer fluorene-phenylene and fluorene-thiophene derivatives

One- and two-photon absorption properties of a series of fluorene derivatives with symmetrical charge transfer D-IT-D and A-IT-A structural motifs have been theoretically investigated with ZINDO/S method. The optimized structures and the characterization of frontier molecular orbitals were obtained by using AMI calculations. Two-photon absorption properties of molecules have been studied using three-state model. The calculation results have shown that fluorene-thiophene derivatives exhibit larger two-photon absorption cross-section as compared with other studied molecules. To illustrate the results, the crucial effects of thiophene ring on fluorenethiophene derivatives and the net charge changes on the pi-conjugated bridges are analyzed theoretically.

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques Volume 8, Issue 5, 27 May 2015, Pages 2183-2193 Estimating reflectivity values from wind turbines for analyzing the potential impact on weather radar services (Article) Angulo, I.a, Grande, O.a, Jenn, D.b, Guerra, D.a, De La Vega, D.a a University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Bilbao, Spain b Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, United States View references (28) Abstract The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has repeatedly expressed concern over the increasing number of impact cases of wind turbine farms on weather radars. Current signal processing techniques to mitigate wind turbine clutter (WTC) are scarce, so the most practical approach to this issue is the assessment of the potential interference from a wind farm before it is installed. To do so, and in order to obtain a WTC reflectivity model, it is crucial to estimate the radar cross section (RCS) of the wind turbines to be built, which represents the power percentage of the radar signal that is backscattered to the radar receiver.

For the proposed model, a representative scenario has been chosen in which both the weather radar and the wind farm are placed on clear areas; i.e., wind turbines are supposed to be illuminated only by the lowest elevation angles of the radar beam.

This paper first characterizes the RCS of wind turbines in the weather radar frequency bands by means of computer simulations based on the physical optics theory and then proposes a simplified model to estimate wind turbine RCS values. This model is of great help in the evaluation of the potential impact of a certain wind farm on the weather radar operation.

Distribuição espacial dos foraminíferos no perfil transversal ao manguezal da margem da baía de Sepetiba-RJ: habitat e paleoambiente

Os foraminíferos de zona entre-marés são amplamente utilizados como na reconstituição paleoambiental holocênica. Entretanto, a despeito dos manguezais, estudos com foraminíferos são relativamente escassos. A estrutura do habitat e seu grau de exposição atuam na distribuição espacial das espécies de zona entre-marés. Em um perfil transversal ao manguezal que margeia a baía de Sepetiba (RJ), foi investigada a influência parâmetros estruturais do habitat e da riqueza na distribuição espacial dos foraminíferos do manguezal. Os parâmetros escolhidos neste estudo foram serapilheira, litologia, matéria orgânica total, microtopografia, zonação botânica, espécies botânicas, altura média das árvores e densidade de árvores. Um testemunho de 144 cm também foi descrito em termos da sua litologia, matéria orgânica total, composição biogênica, incluído foraminíferos. O perfil apresentou textura silte argilosa, matéria orgânica total concentrada por todo manguezal e a serapilheira acumulada principalmente no mangue superior. Os forminíferos (24) ocorreram apenas no manguezal, com predomínio de aglutinantes e presença significativa de formas calcárias. A densidade de testas se concentrou no mangue superior. A. beccarii f. tepida, E. excavatum, A. mexicana, Q. seminulum e T. inflata foram as espécies mais constantes. A diversidade não apresentou variabilidade espacial significativa e foi marcada pela baixa dominância e alta equitabilidade. Notou-se diferença significativa da riqueza de foraminíferos entre habitats expostos e protegidos. A riqueza específica apresentou moderada correlação com a serapilheira e densidade de árvores. A. mexicana e H. wilberti apresentaram moderada correlação com a riqueza. Q. seminulum apresentou significativa correlação com a matéria orgânica total e altura média das árvores. T. inflata apresentou significativa correlação com a riqueza e serapilheira. Em relação ao testemunho, foi possível identificar três paleoambientes de baía restrita: infralitoral, mesolitoral e supralitoral. O manguezal este presente entre o nível 124 62 cm e a planície hipersalina a partir do nível 24 cm.

Effect of network modifiers on spectroscopic properties of erbium-doped phosphate glasses

The integrated absorption cross section Sigma(abs), I peak emission cross section sigma(cmi), Judd-Ofeld intensity parameters Omega(iota) ( t = 2,4,6), and spontaneous emission probability A(R) of Er3+ ions were determined for Erbium doped alkali and alkaline earth phosphate glasses. It is found the compositional dependence of sigma(emi) 5 almost similar to that of Sigma(abs), which is determined by the sum, of Omega(1) (3 Omega(2) + 10 Omega(4) + 21 Omega(6)). In addition, the compositional dependence of Omega(1) was studied in these glass systems. As a result, compared with. Omega(4) and Omega(6) the Omega(2) has a stronger compositional dependence on the ionic radius and content of modifers. The covalency of Er-O bonds in phosphate glass is weaker than that in silicate glass, germanate glass, aluminate glass, and tellurate glass, since Omega(6) of phosphate glass is relatively large. A(R) is affected by the covalency of the Er3+ ion sites and corresponds to the Omega(6) value.
