AbstractThe possibility of the nonresonance phase conjugation of light in an excited semiconductor medium is shown theoretically and experimentally. In epitaxial GaN films pumped with a nitrogen laser at room temperature, the induced phase conjugation of light in the visible and infrared spectral regions is detected for the first time. The dependences of the phase-conjugation signal intensity on the photon energy and laser-pumping intensity are studied. An interpretation of the effect as a result of the absorption and refraction of light at laser-induced free charge carriers in the semiconductor medium is proposed.

AbstractThe effect of the secondary light illumination of hv = 0.9 eV on the photoquenched and the enhanced states in semi-insulating GaAs are investigated by using piezoelectric photoacoustic (PPA) measurements at 80 K. It is found that the secondary light causes an optical recovery from EL2* to EL2° and this is in agrezment with the result reported by using infrared optical absorption measurements. We observed a broad peak around 0.9 eV after the secondary light illumination for the first time. The most important finding is that the PPA spectra after the secondary light illumination on the quenched and the enhanced states are the same in the whole photon energy region. We concluded that the secondary light of hv = 0.9 eV induces both an optical recovery and generation of metastable state of the EL6 level. The difference of the transformation rates of these two processes explains well the observed complex natures of the PPA signal under the secondary light illumination.

We report some preliminary differential cross section results for the γ d → KSΛ(p) reaction using a circularly-polarized photon beam and an unpolarized LD2 target. The data was collected at the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. For this study the photon energy ranged from 1.3 to 2.53 GeV, which covers from the reaction threshold through the nucleon resonance regimes. The acceptance- and flux-corrected yields show peaks at the center-of mass energies W = 1.7 and W = 1.9 GeV. These first-time results will aid in unraveling the spectrum of non-strange excited baryons.

The photoionization and dissociative photoionization of toluene have been studied using synchrotron radiation vacuum ultraviolet light with photon energy in the range of 8.50–25.50 eV. The ionization energies (8.82 eV) and double ionization energies (23.80 eV) of toluene as well as the appearance energies for its major fragments C7H7+ (11.17/10.71 eV), C6H5+ (13.73 eV), C5H6+ (13.58/12.50 eV), C5H5+ (16.23 eV), C4H5+ (15.64 eV), C4H4+ (16.10 eV) and C4H3+ (17.11 eV) are determined, respectively by using photoionization efficiency spectrometry. With the help of experimental and theoretical results, seven dissociative photoionization channels have been proposed: C7H7+ + H, C6H5+ + CH3, C5H6+ + C2H2, C5H5+ + C2H2 + H, C4H5+ + C3H3, C4H4+ + C3H4 and C4H3+ + C3H4 + H. In addition, the geometries of the intermediates, transition states and products involved in these photoionization and dissociative photoionization processes have been performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) level. The mechanisms of dissociative photoionization of toluene and the intermediates and transition states involved are discussed in detail. Generally speaking, the experimental results are in agreement with theoretical calculations in this work and published literature results. Especially the mechanisms of dissociative photoionization to C4H5+, C4H4+ and C4H3+ were discussed for the first time in this work. This investigation may provide useful information on understanding the photoionization and dissociative photoionization of toluene.

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) emerged as promising antitumor radiosensitizers. However, the complex dependence of GNPs radiosensitization on the irradiation conditions remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the impacts of the dose rate and photon energy on damage of the pBR322 plasmid DNA exposed to X-rays in the presence of 12 nm, 15 nm, 21 nm, and 26 nm GNPs. The greatest radiosensitization was observed for 26 nm GNPs. The sensitizer enhancement ratio (SER) 2.74 ± 0.61 was observed at 200 kVp with 2.4 mg/mL GNPs. Reduction of X-ray tube voltage to 150 and 100 kVp led to a smaller effect. We demonstrate for the first time that the change of the dose rate differentially influences on radiosensitization by GNPs of various sizes. For 12 nm, an increase in the dose rate from 0.2 to 2.1 Gy/min led to a ~1.13-fold increase in radiosensitization. No differences in the effect of 15 nm GNPs was found within the 0.85–2.1 Gy/min range. For 21 nm and 26 nm GNPs, an enhanced radiosensitization was observed along with the decreased dose rate from 2.1 to 0.2 Gy/min. Thus, GNPs are an effective tool for increasing the efficacy of orthovoltage X-ray exposure. However, careful selection of irradiation conditions is a key prerequisite for optimal radiosensitization efficacy.

The threshold photoelectron spectrum of t-butylamine, recorded between 8 and 28 eV, is reported for the first time. The spectrum was compared to orbital ionization energies calculated at the OVGF/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The adiabatic and vertical ionization energies of the outermost orbital (made up primarily of the nitrogen p orbital) are 8.48 ± 0.02 and 9.40 ± 0.02 eV, respectively. Threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectra were recorded between 8.5 and 35 eV, and appearance energies for 15 fragment ions were obtained. The lowest energy dissociation is the loss of a methyl group to form the (CH3)2CNH2+ ion. RRKM fitting of this dissociation leads to a ΔfH298 for (CH3)2CNH2+ of 603 ± 3 kJ mol–1. This value is ~10 kJ mol–1 higher than the previously derived value of Lossing et al. (based on an electron ionization appearance energy value) and the G3B3 estimate. Together with the proton affinity value of 932.3 kJ mol–1, the present ΔfH298 leads to a ΔfH298 for 2-propanimine (CH3)2C=NH of 5.3 kJ mol–1, which can be compared to a value of –5.7 kJ mol–1 (based on the Lossing et al. (CH3)2CNH2+ ΔfH298) and a G3B3 value of –0.3 kJ mol–1. At photon energies above 26 eV, there is evidence for the dissociative double ionization of t-butylamine forming either the singlet or triplet state of the dication.

Abstract A large basis set ab initio configuration interaction study of S 8 has yielded a satisfactory assignment of the first 5 IP's of the UV-photoelectron spectrum for the first time. The ionisation potential order (low to high) is 2A1, 2E3, 2E2, 2E1 ≪2B2 and follows the orbital ordering of our recent large basis spd calculation, via the application of Koopmans' theorem.

Auger electron spectra were studied by scanning the photon energy near the L 3 threshold of krypton. Two resonant transitions were observed in the photon energy region 1673–1678 eV for the first time. They were identified to be the resonant 3d -2 5s and 3d -2 4d states originating in the 2p 3/2-1 5s and 2p 3/2-1 4d excitations, respectively.
