Upconversion nanoparticles have led to various breakthrough applications in solar energy conversion, imaging, and biomedicine. One key impediment is the facilitation of such processes at the molecular scale in solution where quenching effects are much more pronounced. In this work we explore, for the first time, molecular solution-state cooperative luminescence (CL) upconversion arising from a Yb excited state and investigate the mechanistic origin behind cooperative sensitisation (CS) upconversion in Yb/ Tb systems. Counterintuitively, the best UC performances were obtained for Yb/Tb ratios close to parity, resulting in the brightest molecular upconversion complexes with an unprecedented quantum yield of 2.8 × 10-6 at a low laser power density of 2.86 W/cm2.

DLC and nanocrystalline diamond films were prepared by PLD process using 308 nm(XeCl) laser beam with high power(200-500 W) and high frequency(200-500 Hz). The effects of some parameters such as the laser power density, the repetition rate on the structures and characters of the DLC films under such extreme power and repetition rate conditions were studied for the first time. The results indicated that: (1) The microstructures of the films were varied from amorphous to nanocrystalline with the laser power density increased from 108 W/cm2 to 1010 W/cm2; (2) The properties of the films grew at 200 Hz and 300 Hz were better than that of the films grew at 500 Hz, with the laser power density remained constant at 1010 W/cm2.

Using a simple rate equation model, the laser power density Ic necessary to reach 50% of the saturation limited population of the excited atomic level under typical flame conditions is calculated. For Na atoms aspirated into the flame a saturating power density for irradiation with a narrow dye laser line (bandwidth 0.033 Å) of Ic ~ 0.4 kW/cm2 was determined. With the aid of a dye laser with an appropriate laser power density, analytical curves for Na were measured yielding a detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml. This sensitivity is comparable with the best results obtained by atomic emission flame spectrometry.

In the experiment, we use pulsed laser to conduct discrete scratching on Ni-containing stainless steel protective coatings to test residual stress situation after the matrix is scratched; then to analyze the the impact of the impact stress wave on coating - substrate bonding strength according to the test results, finally to infer the laser power density range within which it occurs coating failure. The study shows that: after laser discrete scratching, the residual stress of the center of the laser-loaded point on matrix surface gradually reduces when the pulsed laser power density increases. The matrix produces a corresponding residual compressive stress under the laser power density reaches a certain value. The actual failure threshold values are 12.006 GW/cm2, 11.829GW/cm2 and 12.193GW/cm2 measured by the three-dimensional topography instrument testing the discrete scratch point of three groups of samples and verified by using a microscope

Laser peen texturing (LPT) is a novelty way of surface texturing based on laser shock processing. One of the most important benefits of LPT is that it can not only fabricate surface textures but also induce residual compressive stress for the target material. However, the residual stress loss leads to partial loss of residual compressive stress and even causes residual tensile stress at the laser spot center. This phenomenon is not conducive to improving the mechanical properties of materials. In this study, a numerical simulation model of LPT was developed and validated by comparison of surface deformation with experiments. In order to investigate the phenomenon of residual stress loss quantitatively, an evaluation method of residual stress field was proposed. The effects of laser power density and laser spot radius on the residual stress, especially the residual stress loss, were systematically investigated. It is found that with the increase of laser power density or laser spot radius, the thickness of residual compressive layer in depth direction becomes larger. However, both the magnitude and the affecting zone size of residual stress loss will be increased, which implies a more severe residual stress loss phenomenon.

This paper reports the effect of laser power density on the evolving properties of laser metal deposited titanium alloy. A total of sixteen experiments were performed, and the microstructure, microhardness and surface roughness of the samples were studied using the optical microscope (OP), microhardness indenter and stylus surface analyzer, respectively. The microstructure changed from finer martensitic alpha grain to coarser Widmastätten alpha grain structure as the laser power density was increased. The results show that the higher the laser power density employed, the smoother the obtained surface. The microhardness initially increased as the laser power density was increased and then decreased as the power density was further increased. The result obtained in this study is important for the selection of proper laser power density for the desired microstructure, microhardness and surface finish of part made from Ti6Al4V.

ABSTRACTProtein thin film (mainly silk fibroin) was prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with 1064nm IR-beam and via colloid chemical routes. Thickness, surface roughness, and microstructures of the deposited film were examined by quartz crystal microbalance sensor, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM). The laser power density was varied systematically for PLD to control the microstructures of the film and the secondary structure (β-sheet, α-helix, or random coil) of the protein. Secondary structure of the target and film was examined by FT-IR. Films prepared by PLD comprise by agglomerated particles with their primary particle size around 30nm. The size of the primary particles was uniform, especially for the film prepared at low laser power density. At low laser power density, proportion of β-sheet increased and that of random coil decreased. Proportion of random coil was also increased by the wet colloidal process. PLD with low power density is most suitable to preserve the secondary structure in the protein thin film.

The X-ray emission from laser-produced plasmas at an X-ray wavelength of approximately 10.4 nm was measured for Al and Gd target materials. The laser power density on the target surface was varied between 1.5 × 1010 and 3 × 1012 W/cm2 to obtain different electron temperatures. The output from the plasma was measured using an X-ray reflecting Pd-C multilayer coating as a wavelength-selective element and a diamond photoconductive detector. The emission at 10.4 nm is strongest at the low end of the power density range investigated. A strong increase is found for Al targets due to a contribution of line radiation, which is not present in the Gd plasmas. The measured conversion efficiency for Al plasmas was (4.5 ± 1)% in a 3% bandwidth at an X-ray wavelength of 10.4 nm.

ABSTRACTDiamond like carbon (DLC) films are synthesized on various substrates using a pulsed KrF excimer laser ablation deposition technique. Variations of laser power density, substrate temperature, angle and distance between the substrate and target yield different sizes of porous surfaces of DLC films. Microscope is used to examine the surfaces. Raman scattering is used to characterize the samples, and the typical G and D bands have been identified. Intensities and profiles of the G and D bands closely depend on laser power density. The relationship between the deposition rate and the power density is also studied.
