We study three blue-detuned magneto–optical trapping(MOT) schemes by using the Bayesian optimization method with the optical Bloch equations. We perform a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the force in the MOT and the velocities and positions of the Mg F molecules. Monte–Carlo simulations show that our MOT schemes can achieve a temperature as low as 28 μK and a density as high as 4.0 × 10^(8)cm^(-3) at the conditions of a ratio of two laser intensities of 2:7, a detuning of 3Γ and a polarization configuration of σ^(-)-σ^(+). These results provide a clear way for transferring a large number of Mg F molecules into a conservative trap to enhance the subsequent cooling such as evaporative or sympathetic cooling.展开更多

The assisting Gaussian laser beam can confine CaF molecules transversely owing to the optical Stark effect. Simulations suggest that the present scheme is superior to previous Stark decelerators. Under typical experimental conditions, when the assisting laser frequency is red-detuned to the molecular transition(λ～606.3 nm) by5.0 GHz and the laser power is about 5.6 W, the proposed decelerator can achieve a total number at the order of 10~4 CaF molecules with a number density at the order of 10~8 cm^(-3). The equivalent temperature of the obtained cold CaF molecules is 2.3 mK. Additionally, the desired assisting laser power can be as low as about 1.2 W if keeping the red-detuning value to be 1.0 GHz, which further suggests its experimental feasibility.展开更多

The extinction spectra and the electric field distribution profiles of the two dimers for various gap distances between two individual nanospheres are compared with those of the corresponding monomers to reveal the extent of plasmon coupling. It is found that with the interparticle distance decreasing, a strong plasmon coupling between two Al or Alcore/Al2O3shell nanospheres is observed accompanied by a significant red shift in the extinction spectra at the parallel polarization direction of the incident light related to the dimer axis, while for the case of the perpendicular polarization direction, a weak plasmon coupling arises characterized by a slight blue shift in the extinction spectra. The electric field distribution profiles show that benefiting from the dielectric Al2O3 shell, the gap distance of Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers can be tailored to 〈 1 nm scale and results in a very high electric field enhancement. The estimated surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factors suggests that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with the gap of 〈 1 nm gave rise to an enhancement as high as 8.1 × 10^7 for interparticle gap = 0.5 nm. Our studies reveal that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers may be promising substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep-ultraviolet region.展开更多

We use the average trace distance to describe how close the output state is to the input state to be teleported. Our results show that the average trace distance is a function of decoherence rates and angles of the analyzer performed by the controller in the single-particle projective measurement. Moreover, for a fixed value of the decoherence rate, one can adjust the analyzer angle to achieve the optimal average trace distance.展开更多

文摘We present the experimental study of modulation transfer spectroscopy of ytterbium atoms in a hollow cathode lamp.The dependences of its linewidth,slope and magnitude on the various experimental parameters are measured and fitted by the well-known theoretical expressions.The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction.We have observed the Dicke narrowing effect by increasing the current of the hollow cathode lamp.It is also found that there are the optimal current and laser power to generate the better modulation transfer spectroscopy signal,which can be employed for locking the laser frequency to the atomic transition.

文摘A distributed feedback laser with a wavelength of 2.8μm was used to measure the species produced by water vapor glow discharge.Only the absorption spectra of OH radicals and transient H2O molecules were observed using concentration modulation(CM)spectroscopy.The intensities and orientations of the absorption peaks change with the demodulation phase,but the direction of one absorption peak of H2O is always opposite to the other peaks.The different spectral orientations of OH and H2O reflect the increase or the decrease of the number of particles in the energy levels.If more transient species can be detected in the discharge process,the dynamics of excitation,ionization,and decomposition of H2O can be better studied.This study shows that the demodulation phase relationship of CM spectrum can be used to study the population change of molecular energy levels.

文摘Chalcogenide superlattices Sb_(2)Te_(3)-GeTe is a candidate for interfacial phase-change memory(iPCM) data storage devices.By employing terahertz emission spectroscopy and the transient reflectance spectroscopy together,we investigate the ultrafast photoexcited carrier dynamics and current transients in Sb_(2)Te_(3)-GeTe superlattices.Sample orientation and excitation polarization dependences of the THz emission confirm that ultrafast thermo-electric,shift and injection currents contribute to the THz generation in Sb_(2)Te_(3)-GeTe superlattices.By decreasing the thickness and increasing the number of GeTe and Sb_(2)Te_(3) layer,the interlayer coupling can be enhanced,which significantly reduces the contribution from circular photo-galvanic effect(CPGE).A photo-induced bleaching in the transient reflectance spectroscopy probed in the range of~1100 nm to~1400 nm further demonstrates a gapped state resulting from the interlayer coupling.These demonstrates play an important role in the development of iPCM-based high-speed optoelectronic devices.

文摘A near-resonant, red-detuning laser-assisted Stark deceleration scheme is proposed to slow CaF in its high-fieldseeking rovibronic ground state. The assisting Gaussian laser beam can confine CaF molecules transversely owing to the optical Stark effect. Simulations suggest that the present scheme is superior to previous Stark decelerators. Under typical experimental conditions, when the assisting laser frequency is red-detuned to the molecular transition(λ～606.3 nm) by5.0 GHz and the laser power is about 5.6 W, the proposed decelerator can achieve a total number at the order of 10~4 CaF molecules with a number density at the order of 10~8 cm^(-3). The equivalent temperature of the obtained cold CaF molecules is 2.3 mK. Additionally, the desired assisting laser power can be as low as about 1.2 W if keeping the red-detuning value to be 1.0 GHz, which further suggests its experimental feasibility.

文摘In-situ XRD,^(31)P NMR and ^(23)Na NMR were used to analyze the interaction behavior of Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3) at low voltage,and then a new intercalation model was proposed.During the transition from Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3) to Na_(4)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3),Na ions insert into M1,M2 and M3 sites simultaneously.Afterwards,during the transition of Na_(4)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)to Na_(5)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3),Na ions mainly insert into M3 site.

文摘1,3,5-Triazine molecules represent a class of molecules that may have been prebiotic information carriers in a primordial soup in early Earth and their excited state dynamics has received attention in recent years.In our previous study,one component with lifetime longer than100 ps was discovered in 2-amino-1,3,5-trainzine(2-AT),but its nature has not been revealed.In this study,excited state dynamics of 2-AT is studied in different solvents by using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption and fluorescence upconversion spectroscopy.Interestingly,an equilibrium state consisting of the brightππ^(*)and dark nπ^(*)states in 2-AT is directly observed in aqueous solution and its dynamics is solvent sensitive.The whole picture of the excited state deactivation mechanism of 2-AT is proposed based on our spectroscopy results.

文摘The localized surface plasmon resonance properties of Al and Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with Al and Al core nanosphere radii of 20 nm and Al2O3 shell of 2 nm in the deep-ultraviolet region have been studied using the finite difference time domain method. The extinction spectra and the electric field distribution profiles of the two dimers for various gap distances between two individual nanospheres are compared with those of the corresponding monomers to reveal the extent of plasmon coupling. It is found that with the interparticle distance decreasing, a strong plasmon coupling between two Al or Alcore/Al2O3shell nanospheres is observed accompanied by a significant red shift in the extinction spectra at the parallel polarization direction of the incident light related to the dimer axis, while for the case of the perpendicular polarization direction, a weak plasmon coupling arises characterized by a slight blue shift in the extinction spectra. The electric field distribution profiles show that benefiting from the dielectric Al2O3 shell, the gap distance of Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers can be tailored to 〈 1 nm scale and results in a very high electric field enhancement. The estimated surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factors suggests that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with the gap of 〈 1 nm gave rise to an enhancement as high as 8.1 × 10^7 for interparticle gap = 0.5 nm. Our studies reveal that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers may be promising substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep-ultraviolet region.

文摘We investigate controlled teleportation ofa qubit via a GHZ state with the influence of phase damping in the Bloch sphere representation. We use the average trace distance to describe how close the output state is to the input state to be teleported. Our results show that the average trace distance is a function of decoherence rates and angles of the analyzer performed by the controller in the single-particle projective measurement. Moreover, for a fixed value of the decoherence rate, one can adjust the analyzer angle to achieve the optimal average trace distance.

文摘As one of the biological endogenous pigments,biliverdin(BV)and its dimethyl ester(BVE)have extremely weak uorescence in solution with quantum yield less than 0.01%.However,the situation reverses with the addition of zinc ions.The strength for uorescence of BVE-Zn^2+ complex is greatly enhanced and uorescence quantum yield can increase to5%.Herein,we studied ultrafast excited state dynamics of BVE-Zn^2+ complex in ethanol,npropanol,and DMSO solutions in order to reveal the mechanism of uorescence quantum yield enhancement.The results show that BVE can form a stable coordination complex with zinc with 1:1 stoichiometry in solution.BVE is structurally and energetically more stable in the complex.Using picosecond time-resolve uorescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,we show that smaller non-radiative rate constant of BVE-Zn^2+ complex in DMSO is the key to increasing its uorescence quantum yield and the excited state decay mechanism is also revealed.These results provide valuable information about the uorescence property change after BVE binding to metal ions and may provide a guidance for the study of phytochromes or other uorescence proteins in which BV/BVE acts as chromophores.

文摘Optical frequency combbased Fourier transform spectroscopy has the features of broad spectral bandwidth,high sensitivity,andmultiplexed trace gas detection,which has valuable application potential in the fields of precision spectroscopy and trace gas detection.Here,we report the development of a mid-infrared Fourier transform spectrometer based on an optical frequency comb combined with a Herriott-type multipass cell.Using this instrument,the broadband absorption spectra of several important molecules,including methane,acetylene,water molecules and nitrous oxide,are measured by near real-time data acquisition in the 2800-3500 cm^(-1)spectral region.The achieved minimum detectable absorption of the instrument is 4.4×10^(-8)cm^(-1)·Hz^(-1/2)per spectral element.Broadband spectra of H_(2)0 are fited using the Voigt profile multispectral fitting technique and the consistency of the concentration inversion is 1%.Our system also enables precise spectroscopic measurements,and it allows the determination of the spectral line positions and upper state constants of N_(2)O in the(0002)-(1000)band,with results in good agreement with those reported by Toth[Appl.Opt.30,5289(1991)].
