Ce^(3+)/Tb^(3+) co-doped and Ce^(3+)/Tb^(3+)/Eu^(3+) tri-doped β-NaYF_(4) photoluminescent microcrystals using oleic acid as surfactant were synthesized using the solvothermal method.Their microstructural characteristics and photoluminescence properties were investigated in detail.They have the shape of hexagonal prism bipyramids with uniform particle size,which decreases with the concentrations of Tb^(3+) and Eu^(3+).The energy transfer processes of both the Ce^(3+)→Tb^(3+) and the Ce^(3+)→Tb^(3+)→Eu^(3+) were systematically studied.Compared with Eu^(3+) or Tb^(3+) single-doped β-NaYF_(4) microcrystals,the sensitization by Ce^(3+) for the photoluminescence of Tb^(3+) and Eu^(3+) leads to a broad excitation spectral bandwidth in the ultraviolet (UV) range.Meanwhile,the corresponding optical absorption efficiency is greatly enhanced.High energy transfer efficiencies have been observed from Ce^(3+) to Tb^(3+) and from Tb^(3+) to Eu^(3+).

Study on VUV and UV Excitation Spectrum of GdVO_4∶Eu^( 3+)

The photoluminescence spectra and excitation spectra in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and ultraviolet (UV) spectra region of GdVO 4∶Eu 3+ were reported. The excitation and emission spectra indicate that GdVO 4∶Eu 3+ is a highly efficient phosphor for the excitation in the VUV and UV spectrum region. The excitation band in the VUV and UV spectrum region of 60～350 nm consists mainly of the absorption of host, which has obvious absorption of 4f n-1 5d of Eu 3+ and Gd 3+ . In GdVO 4∶Eu 3+ , there is the energy transfer: VO 4 3- →Eu 3+ , Gd 3+ →Eu 3+ and Gd 3+ →VO 4 3- →Eu 3+ . Through the last two procedures, maybe the quantum cutting of Gd 3+ -Eu 3+ occurs.

Energy Spectrum of Ground State and Excitation Spectrum of Quasi-particle for Hard-Core Boson in Optical Lattices

We investigate the energy spectrum of ground state and quasi-particle excitation spectrum of hard-core bosons, which behave very much like spinless noninteracting ferrnions, in optical lattices by means of the perturbation expansion and Bogoliubov approach. The results show that the energy spectrum has a single band structure, and the energy is lower near zero momentum; the excitation spectrum gives corresponding energy gap, and the system is in Mort-insulating state at Tonks limit. The analytic result of energy spectrum is in good agreement with that calculated in terms of Green＇s function at strong correlation limit.

Excitation Spectrum of Spin-1 Bosonic Atoms in an Optical Lattice with High Filling Factors

The Green＇s function and the higher-order correlation functions of spin-1 cold atoms in an optical lattice are defined. Because we consider the problem of spin-1 Bose condensed atoms in an optical lattice with high filling factors, i.e., the number density of Bose condensed atoms no is large, the fluctuation of them can be neglected and we take mean-field approximation for the higher-order terms. The excitation spectra for both the polar case and the ferromagnetic case are obtained and analyzed.

Spin excitation spectra of spin–orbit coupled bosons in an optical lattice

Spin-wave excitation plays important roles in the investigation of the magnetic phases. In this paper, we study the spin-wave excitation spectra of two-component Bose gases with spin-orbit coupling in a deep square optical lattice using the spin-wave theory. We find that, while the excitation spectrum of the vortex crystal phase is gapless with a linear dispersion in the vicinity of the minimum point, the spectra of the commensurate spiral spin phase and the skyrmion crystal phase are gapped. Significantly, the spin fluctuations strongly destabilize the classical ground state of the skyrmion phase with the appearance of an imaginary part in the eigenfrequencies of spin excitations. Such features of the spin excitation spectra provide further insights into the exotic spin phases.

Triple three-dimensional MS/MS spectrum facilitates quantitative ginsenosides-targeted sub-metabolome characterization in notoginseng

Although serving as the workhorse,MS/MS cannot fully satisfy the analytical requirements of quantitative sub-metabolome characterization.Because more information intrinsically correlates to more structural and concentration clues,here,efforts were devoted to comprehensively tracing and deciphering MS/MS behaviors through constructing triple three-dimensional(33D)-MS/MS spectrum.Ginsenosides-targeted metabolomics of notoginseng,one of the most famous edible medicinal plants,was employed as a proof-of-concept.Serial authentic ginsenosides were deployed to build the correlations between 33D-MS/MS spectra and structure/concentration features.Through assaying ginsenosides with progressive concentrations using QTOF-MS to configure 1st 3D spectrum,the generations of MS1 spectral signals,particularly multi-charged multimer anions,e.g.,[2Me2H]2e and[2Mt2HCOO]2e ions,relied on both concentration and the amount of sugar chains.By programming progressive collision energies to the front collision cell of Qtrap-MS device to gain 2nd 3D spectrum,optimal collision energy(OCE)corresponding to the glycosidic bond fission was primarily correlated with the masses of precursor and fragment ions and partially governed by the glycosidation site.The quantitative relationships between OCEs and masses of precursor and fragment ions were utilized to build large-scale quantitative program for ginsenosides.After applying progressive exciting energies to the back collision chamber to build 3rd 3D spectrum,the fragment ion and the decomposition product anion exhibited identical dissociation trajectories when they shared the same molecular geometry.After ginsenosides-focused quantitative metabolomics,significant differences occurred for sub-metabolome amongst different parts of notoginseng.The differential ginsenosides were confirmatively identified by applying the correlations between 33D-MS/MS spectra and structures.Together,33D-MS/MS spectrum covers all MS/MS behaviors and dramatically facilitates sub-metabolome characterization from both quantitative program development and structural identification.

A tetragonal tungsten bronze-type photocatalyst:Ferro-paraelectric phase transition and photocatalysis

Although ferroelectrics have potential applications in photocatalysis due to their highly efficient charge separation, their mechanism of charge separation is still unknown. A ferroelectric Sr0.7Ba0.3Nb2O6 （SBN‐70） semiconductor with a low ferro‐paraelectric phase transition （65℃） was studied. The photocatalytic activity for H2 production by ferroelectric and paraelectric SBN‐70 was examined. The spontaneous polarization in the ferroelectric phase strongly affected the photocata‐lytic performance and parallel ferroelectric domains significantly promoted photogenerated charge separation to result in better photocatalytic H2 production. This knowledge provides an important basis for the fabrication of ferroelectric photocatalysts with improved charge separation ability.

Luminescent Properties of Tb^(3+) Doped CaMoO_4 Phosphor for UV White Light Emitting Diode

A novel yellowish green phosphor Tb3+ doped calcium molybdate (CaMoO4) was synthesized at 800 ℃ by conventional solid state reaction method and their crystal structure and luminescent properties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) showed that they were simple crystalloid of CaMoO4∶Tb3+. Monitored at 550 nm, the excitation spectrum consisted of two bands and the two excitation peaks located at 305 and 380 nm respectively. The emission spectrum excited by 380 nm UV light was composed of four narrow bands. The strongest emission was located at 540 nm corresponding to 5D4-7F5 transition. The appropriate concentration of Tb3+ was 5%(mole fraction) for the highest emission intensity at 550 nm. These results showed that this Tb3+-activated CaMoO4 was a promising yellowish green phosphor for near-ultraviolet (NUV) InGaN-based white LED.

More than thirty out of thetotal fifty spectral lines were observed for 5D0→7F0,1,2,3,4 transitions. The Eu3+ ions occupy twokinds of the Y3+ sites with the lowsymmetry in this crystal. The difference of the wavelengths of thetwo Eu3+ sites for 7F0→5D0 transition is about 0. 2 nm. It was foundthat the two sites were nonequivalent optical ones at room temperature. Crystal lattice constants a,b, c, and β of Eu3+: Y2SiO5 werealso measured by the X-ray diffraction method. The results show thatthe lattice constants a, b, and cof the crystal doped Eu3+ ions isvery close to those of the Y2SiO5crystal undoped Eu3+ ions.

Phase diagram and collective modes in Rashba spin–orbit coupled BEC: Effect of in-plane magnetic field

We studied the system of pure Rashba spin–orbit coupled Bose gas with an in-plane magnetic field. Based on the mean field theory, we obtained the zero temperature phase diagram of the system which exhibits three phases, plane wave（PW） phase, striped wave（SW） phase, and zero momentum（ZM） phase. It was shown that with a growing in-plane field,both SW and ZM phases will eventually turn into the PW phase. Furthermore, we adopted the Bogoliubov theory to study the excitation spectrum as well as the sound speed.

High-excited-state splitting and multimode vibrational coupling in Mn^(4+)-activated fluoride phosphor

Excited-states play a crucial role in the optical absorption and luminescence of solids and hence their accurate information is highly desired. Herein, we attempt to seize the excited-states information of Mn^(4+)ions in K_(2)SiF_(6) microcrystals via measuring and calculating their variable-temperature photoluminescence excitation(PLE) spectra. At cryogenic temperatures, an unpredicted splitting of the high-excited-state is observed. Moreover, the two-split high-excited-state levels are further revealed to primarily couple with the two hyperfine split modes of quasi-localized ν2 vibration in the distorted Mn-F_(6) octahedral configuration,whereas the coupling strengths are found to be substantially different from each other. The slightly split vibrational mode is firmly supported by the low-temperature Raman spectra. Jahn-Teller lattice distortion is believed to be responsible for the observed splitting of the electronic high-excited-state and the quasi-localized vibrational mode.

Excitation spectra of one-dimensional spin-1/2 Fermi gas with an attraction

Using an exact Bethe ansatz solution,we rigorously study excitation spectra of the spin-1/2 Fermi gas(called Yang–Gaudin model)with an attractive interaction.Elementary excitations of this model involve particle-hole excitation,hole excitation and adding particles in the Fermi seas of pairs and unpaired fermions.The gapped magnon excitations in the spin sector show a ferromagnetic coupling to the Fermi sea of the single fermions.By numerically and analytically solving the Bethe ansatz equations and the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations of this model,we obtain excitation energies for various polarizations in the phase of the Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov-like state.For a small momentum(long-wavelength limit)and in the strong interaction regime,we analytically obtained their linear dispersions with curvature corrections,effective masses as well as velocities in particle-hole excitations of pairs and unpaired fermions.Such a type of particle-hole excitations display a novel separation of collective motions of bosonic modes within paired and unpaired fermions.Finally,we also discuss magnon excitations in the spin sector and the application of Bragg spectroscopy for testing such separated charge excitation modes of pairs and single fermions.
