The third-order optical nonlinear properties of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and CdSe - C 60 QDs are investigated by Z-scan technique with picosecond pulses at the wavelength of 800 nm. The value of the nonlinear absorption coefficient β of CdSe - C 60 QDs is measured to be 2.9 cm/GW, which is about two times larger than that of CdSe QDs. The nonlinear refraction index γ of CdSe - C 60 QDs is -2.8 × 10-3 cm 2/ GW , which is about seven times larger than that of CdSe QDs. Presence of C 60 contributes to the larger optical nonlinearity of CdSe - C 60 QDs comparing with CdSe QDs.

In this work, we report preliminary results obtained for methacrylic polymers incorporating azobenzene side-group as nonlinear optical (NLO) active molecule. The trans-cis isomerization properties are discussed. The third-order non-resonant nonlinear refractive index (n2) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) are measured using the Z-scan technique at 1064 nm in the picosecond regime. The influence of different electron-acceptor groups in azobenzene moieties on the nonlinear properties is investigated.

Tuning the third-order nonlinear properties of graphene by hybrid method is of great significance in nonlinear optics research. ZrO2/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites with different ZrO2 concentrations were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure show that ZrO2 nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the surface of graphene nanosheets. The nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics of composites with different ZrO2 concentrations were studied by the Z-scan technique of 532 nm picosecond pulsed laser. The results showed that ZrO2/RGO composites had saturated absorption and positive nonlinear refraction characteristics. Meanwhile, the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the ZrO2/RGO composite with a 4:1 mass ratio of ZrO2 to graphene oxide could reach 23.23 × 10−12 esu, which increased tenfold compared to RGO, and the nonlinear modulation depth reached 11.22%. Therefore, the NLO characteristics could be effectively adjusted by controlling the concentration of ZrO2, which lays a foundation for further research on the application of ZrO2/RGO composites in NLO devices.

A small electron probe has many applications in many fields and in the case of the STEM, the probe size essentially determines the ultimate resolution. However, there are many difficulties in obtaining a very small probe.Spherical aberration is one of them and all existing probe forming systems have non-zero spherical aberration. The ultimate probe radius is given byδ = 0.43Csl/4ƛ3/4where ƛ is the electron wave length and it is apparent that δ decreases only slowly with decreasing Cs. Scherzer pointed out that the third order aberration coefficient always has the same sign regardless of the field distribution, provided only that the fields have cylindrical symmetry, are independent of time and no space charge is present. To overcome this problem, he proposed a corrector consisting of octupoles and quadrupoles.

As a general index of language development, the recall of first through fourth order approximations to English was examined in four, five, six, and seven year olds and adults. Data suggested that recall improved with age, and increases in approximation to English were accompanied by increases in recall for six and seven year olds and adults. Recall improved for four and five year olds through the third order but declined at the fourth. The latter finding was attributed to deficits in semantic structures and memory processes in four and five year olds. The former finding was interpreted as an index of the development of general linguistic processes.
