The most widely used method for achieving ultrafast electron sources involves irradiating metal tips by ultrashort laser pulses, causing electron beam emission via the photoelectric effect [including photon-driven(quantum) or field-driven(classical) emission]. However, the thermionic electrons emission process due to the heating effect of ultrashort lasers, particularly its dynamic aspects, has rarely been addressed in previous studies. In this paper, we improved the signal-to-noise ratio of a two-pulse correlation measurement on the tip electron emission by nearly two orders of magnitude using a delay time modulation method. This allowed us to obtain information on the temperature evolution of hot electrons and phonons in a non-equilibrium state, and to extract characteristic time scales for electron-phonon and phonon-phonon scattering. Our findings indicate that the thermionic electrons emission, unlike the instantaneous photoelectric effect, causes electron emission to lag behind the laser pulse by tens of picoseconds, thus significantly affecting the detection of ultrafast dynamics of samples. Furthermore, such a lagging effect was found to be sensitive to the local structure of the metal tip, offering new insights into the improved design of ultrafast electron sources.展开更多

The transverse plasma jet was created by arc discharge in a small cylindrical cavity with a 2 mm diameter orifice. Three group tests with different actuator arrangements in the spanwise or streamwise direction upstream from the ramp were respectively studied to compare their disturbances to the shock wave. As shown by a time-resolved schlieren system, an unsteady motion of the shock wave by actuation was found: the shock wave was significantly modified by the plasma jet with an upstream motion and a reduced angle. Compared to spanwise actuation, a more intensive impact was obtained with two or three streamwise actuators working together. From shock wave structures, the control effect of the plasma jet on the shock motion based on a thermal effect, a potential cause of shock modification, was discussed. Furthermore, we performed a numerical simulation by using the Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation(IDDES) method to simulate the evolution of the transverse plasma jet plume produced by two streamwise actuators. The results show that flow structures are similar to those identified in schlieren images. Two streamwise vortices were recognized, which indicates that the higher jet plume is the result of the overlap of two streamwise jets.展开更多

文摘THz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS)is used to study the THz-optical properties of a single crystal bismuth ferrite BiFeO3(BFO).It can be found that the anisotropy of BiFeO3 is strongly dependent on the temperature.A giant birefringence up to around 3.6 is observed at 1 THz.The presence of a spatially modulated cycloidal antiferromagnetic structure leads to spin cycloid resonances(SCR)ψandΦ,corresponding to the out-of-plane and in-plane modes of the spin cycloid,respectively.We distinguish the SCR with respect to their response to orthogonal polarizations of the electric fields of the incident THz beam.In addition,we observe a resonance appearing below 140 K,which might be interpreted as an electromagnon mode and related to a spin reorientation transition.Our present observations present that the temperature and polarization,as the external control parameters,can be used to modulate the THz optical properties of BFO single crystal.

文摘A wide range of techniques has been developed to image biological samples at high spatial and temporal resolution.In this paper,we report recent results from deep-UV confocal fAuorescence microscopy to image inherent emission from fuorophores such as tryptophan,and structured ilumination microscopy(SIM)of biological materials.One motivation for developing deep-UV fhuorescence imaging and SIM is to provide methods to complement our measurements in the emerging field of X-ray coherent diffractive imaging.

文摘Time-resolved volumetric fluorescence imaging over an extended duration with high spatial/temporal resolution is a key driving force in biomedical research for investigating spatial-temporal dynamics at organism-level systems,yet it remains a major challenge due to the trade-off among imaging speed,light exposure,illumination power,and image quality.Here,we present a deep-learning enhanced light sheet fluorescence microscopy(LSFM)approach that addresses the restoration of rapid volumetric time-lapse imaging with less than 0.03%light exposure and 3.3%acquisition time compared to a typical standard acquisition.We demonstrate that the convolutional neural network(CNN)-transformer network developed here,namely U-net integrated transformer(UI-Trans),successfully achieves the mitigation of complex noise-scattering-coupled degradation and outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning networks,due to its capability of faithfully learning fine details while comprehending complex global features.With the fast generation of appropriate training data via flexible switching between confocal line-scanning LSFM(LS-LSFM)and conventional LSFM,this method achieves a three-to five-fold signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)improvement and~1.8 times contrast improvement in ex vivo zebrafish heart imaging and long-term in vivo 4D(3D morphology+time)imaging of heartbeat dynamics at different developmental stages with ultra-economical acquisitions in terms of light dosage and acquisition time.
