Influence of ion bombardment induced radiation damages in the crystal lattice on the angular regularlties in ion scattering

The paper examines the angular, spatial and energy distribution of ions scattered by various faces of silicon and germanium single crystals. It is shown that, due to the orderly arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice, the orientation effects in the angular, spatial and energy distributions are observed at temperatures exceeding the annealing temperature of ion bombardment induced radiation damage. At high temperatures of the sample a reduction of the anisotropy in the angular, spatial and energy distributions of scattered ions was observed which is due to the changing transparency of the crystal resulting from the thermal vibrations of atoms in the lattice.

Results of investigations testify to the possibility of using the orientation dependences of phenomena occurring during the interaction of ions with crystals for determining the annealing temperature of ion bombardment damage and for studying the kinetics of the process of ion bombardment. It is shown that further studies along the same lines as conducted by the authors of this paper could develop a technique for the quantitative estimation of ion bombardment damage in crystals and also in thin epitaxial films.

Advanced Mechanics and General Relativity,by J. Franklin

Ion Coulomb crystals, formed by atomic ions at low temperatures in radiofrequency and Penning ion traps, are structures that have remarkable properties and many applications. Images of Coulomb crystals are striking and reveal the crystal structure, which arises from a balance between the trapping forces acting on the ions and their mutual Coulomb repulsion. Applications of these structures range from frequency standards and quantum simulation through to measurement of the cross-sections of chemical reactions of ions.     

Photoluminescence of focused ion beam implanted Er3+:Y2SiO5 crystals

Erbium‐doped low symmetry Y₂SiO₅ crystals attract a lot of attention in perspective of quantum information applications. However, only doping of the samples during growth is available up to now, which yields a quite homogeneous doping density. In the present work, we deposit Er³⁺‐ions by the focused ion beam technique at yttrium sites with several fluences in one sample. With a photoluminescence study of these locally doped Er³⁺:Y₂SiO₅ crystals, we are able to evaluate the efficiency of the implantation process and develop it for the highest efficiency possible. We observe the dependence of ion activation after the post‐implantation annealing on the fluence value. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Structure of Mg<Subscript>n</Subscript> and Mg<Stack><Subscript>n</Subscript><Superscript>+</Superscript></Stack> clusters up to n = 30

We present structure calculations of neutral and singly ionized Mg clusters of up to 30 atoms, as well as Na clusters of up to 10 atoms. The calculations have been performed using density functional theory (DFT) within the local (spin-)density approximation, ion cores are described by pseudopotentials. We have utilized a new algorithm for solving the Kohn-Sham equations that is formulated entirely in coordinate space and, thus, permits straightforward control of the spatial resolution. Our numerical method is particularly suitable for modern parallel computer architectures; we have thus been able to combine an unrestricted simulated annealing procedure with electronic structure calculations of high spatial resolution, corresponding to a plane-wave cutoff of 954 eV for Mg. We report the geometric structures of the resulting ground-state configurations and a few low-lying isomers. The energetics and HOMO-LUMO gaps of the ground-state configurations are carefully examined and related to their stability properties. No evidence for a non-metal to metal transition in neutral and positively charged Mg clusters is found in the regime of ion numbers examined here.     

Prediction and observation of crystal structures of oppositely charged colloids

We studied crystal structures in mixtures of large and small oppositely charged spherical colloids with size ratio 0.31 using Monte Carlo simulations and confocal microscopy. We developed an interactive method based on simulated annealing to predict new binary crystal structures with stoichiometries from 1 to 8. Employing these structures in Madelung energy calculations using a screened Coulomb potential, we constructed a ground-state phase diagram, which shows a remarkably rich variety of crystals. Our phase diagram displays colloidal analogs of simple-salt structures and of the doped fullerene C60 structures, but also novel structures that do not have an atomic or molecular analog. We found three of the predicted structures experimentally, which provides confidence that our method yields reliable results.     

后处理对离子交换磷酸盐玻璃平面光波导的影响

研究了退火和二次离子交换对Er3+/Yb3+共掺的磷酸盐玻璃平面光波导传输特性的影响。在退火过程中，由于热效应和波导层Ag+离子的浓度差使得Ag+离子重新分布；随着退火时间的延长和温度的升高，光波导模式数目逐渐增加，波导层深度加深，且波导表面折射率与玻璃基质折射率差减小，退火扩散深度与退火时间的平方根成正比。电子探针结果显示在二次离子交换后形成了掩埋式的光波导，Ag+离子浓度接近二次方分布，而掩埋式的光波导有助于降低光波导的传输损耗。     

The study of damage and optical properties in LiNbO3 implanted by MeV Er and He ions

Abstract

Two LiNbO₃ (X and Y cut) crystals from different companies were implanted by 3.0 MeV Er ions to a dose of 7.5 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm² and 3.5 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm² with different beam current densities, respectively. After annealing at 1060°C in air for 2 hours, one LiNbO₃ sample was implanted by 1.5 MeV He ions to a dose of 1.5 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm². The Rutherford backscattering/channeling and prism coupling method have been used to study the damage and optical properties in implanted LiNbO₃. The results show: (1) the damage in LiNbO₃ created by 3.0 MeV Er ions depends strongly on the beam current density; (2) after annealing at 1060°C in air for 2 hours, a good Er doped LiNbO₃ crystal was obtained; (3) there is waveguide formation possible in this Er-doped annealed LiNbO₃ after 1.5 MeV He ion implantation. It is suggested that annealing is needed to remove the damage created by MeV Er ions before the MeV He ion implantation takes place, to realize the waveguide laser for Er doped LiNbO₃.     

离子通道的非均匀分布对环链神经元网络电活动的影响

在电位耦合条件下,利用Morris-Lecar神经元模型构造环链神经元网络,研究了离子通道分布不均匀情形下神经元网络群体电活动的演化和转变问题. 在数值研究中通过改变局部区域的离子通道电导值模拟离子通道的非均匀分布,并对其可能的机制进行了分析. 还研究了网络中局部区域的钙离子电导的差异性和钾离子电导的差异性如何逐渐激发周边神经元,以及诱发的行波如何依赖于神经元之间的耦合强度. 研究发现,增大钙离子电导到一定程度或减小钾离子电导到一定程度可以诱发周围神经元产生兴奋并产生稳定的行波;相反,减小钙离子电导或增大钾离子电导则会减缓或阻断行波的传递. 在同时改变钙离子电导和钾离子电导的情况下,行波的诱发和传播完全依赖于钙离子电导的增量和钾离子电导的减量. 关键词： Morris-Lecar神经元 离子通道的非均匀分布 环链网络

Low-frequency variable charge solitary waves in a collisionless dusty plasma with a Cairns-Gurevich ion velocity distribution

In this paper, the problem of large amplitude dust acoustic (DA) solitons has been addressed in a charge varying dusty plasma with ions following a Cairns-Gurevich distribution. Based on the orbit motion limited approach, the correct Cairns-Gurevich ion charging current is presented for the first time. The expression relating the variable dust charge to the plasma potential is given in terms of the Lambert function and we take advantage of this transcendental function to, carefully, analyse DA solitons in a charge varying dusty plasma with trapped nonthermal ions. Our results show that the spatial patterns of the variable charge solitary wave are significantly changed due to the presence of ion population modelled by the Cairns-Gurevich distribution. An addition of a small concentration of trapped nonthermal ions makes the solitary structure less spiky, grows the net negative charge residing on the dust grain surface, and contributes to the electron depletion. Finally, our investigation is extended to highlight the effect of the grain dust charge variation. We have shown that under certain conditions, the impact of dust charge fluctuation may furnish an alternate physical mechanism rasing anomalous dissipation, which becomes more strong and may predominate over the dispersion as the nonthermal character of ions following the Cairns-Gurevich distribution increases.

Cold ion chemistry within Coulomb crystals

Coulomb crystals are ordered structures of spatially-localised ions, held within an ion trap and exhibiting very low translational temperatures. The many advantages of studying the spectroscopic, kinetic and dynamic properties of gas phase ions in Coulomb crystals – such as the ability to manipulate and detect single ions under ultrahigh vacuum conditions – have seen their adoption in an ever-expanding range of fields. This article provides an overview of recent developments, where Coulomb crystals have been utilised for precision measurements, for the study of controlled ion-neutral reactions and in the implementation of quantum information science.     

Micro‐ and submicrometric waveguiding structures in optical crystals produced by ion beams for photonic applications

Energetic ion beams with diverse energies, species and beam dimensions have been extensively utilized to modify the properties of materials to achieve versatile applications in many aspects of industry, agriculture and scientific research. In optics, the ion‐beam technology has been applied to fabricate various micro‐ and submicrometric guiding structures on a wide range of optical crystals through the efficient modulation of the refractive indices or structuring of the surface, realizing various applications in many branches of photonics. The ion‐beam fabricated optical waveguides and other photonic structures have shown good guiding performance as well as properties related to the materials, suggesting promising potential for many aspects of photonics.

Study on the Relation Between Discharge Voltage and Magnetic Field Topography in a Hall Thruster Discharge Channel

The relation between magnetic field topography and operating voltage is investigated in a 1kW Hall thruster discharge channel in order to focus the ion beam effectively and optimize the performance. The curvature of magnetic field line (α) is introduced to characterize the differences of topologies. The optimized magnetic field distribution under each operating voltage is obtained by experiment. Through the curvature transformation, we find that the area of (α > 1) in the channel gradually decreases with the increase of the operating voltage. In response to the results above, two dimensional plasma flows are simulated employing Particle‐in‐Cell method. The distributions of the electric potential, ion density and ion radial velocity are calculated to understand the important influence of the relation above on ion beam focusing. The numerical results indicate that magnetic field curvature and thermal electric field control the ion beam in the ionization and acceleration zone, respectively. The magnetic field topography and discharge voltage interact with each other and together form the focusing electric field. The ion radial mobility is suppressed effectively and the ion beam is focused to the channel centerline. In addition, for a given voltages, when the area of (α > 1) is larger than the optimal scope, the electric potential lines excessively bend to the anode causing ion over focus; contrarily, the electric potential lines will bend to the exit and defocus ions. All these results suggest the relation between magnetic field topography and discharge voltage is important to the ion radial flow control and performance optimization of the Hall thruster (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

γ射线辐照与O2退火对Bi∶CdWO4单晶体光谱性能的影响

用500和800℃,在氧气下,对掺Bi钨酸镉晶体进行热退火处理,测定了处理后晶体的吸收光谱与发射光谱。随退火处理温度的升高晶体的吸收强度降低,吸收边带发生蓝移。在373与980nm的光激发下,分别观察到发光中心为528nm的CdWO4晶体本征发光与发光中心为1 078nm的Bi 5+发光。晶体样品通过高温氧气处理,发光中心为528nm的荧光带强度增强,但发光中心为1 078nm的荧光带强度变弱。这可能是由于氧退火使Bi 5+转化成Bi 3+所致。经退火处理后,晶体的颜色逐渐变浅,透光率明显提高,这是由于晶体中氧空位减少所致。经γ射线辐照处理后,528nm处的发光增强,而1 078nm处的发光减弱,这可能是由于γ射线辐照后导致Bi 5+变成Bi 3+。
