Time-resolved characteristics of a nanosecond pulsed multi-hollow needle plate packed bed dielectric barrier discharge

In this paper,self-designed multi-hollow needle electrodes are used as a high-voltage electrode in a packed bed dielectric barrier discharge reactor to facilitate fast gas flow through the active discharge area and achieve large-volume stable discharge.The dynamic characteristics of the plasma,the generated active species,and the energy transfer mechanisms in both positive discharge(PD)and negative discharge(ND)are investigated by using fast-exposure intensified charge coupled device(ICCD)images and time-resolved optical emission spectra.The experimental results show that the discharge intensity,number of discharge channels,and discharge volume are obviously enhanced when the multi-needle electrode is replaced by a multihollow needle electrode.During a single voltage pulse period,PD mainly develops in a streamer mode,which results in a stronger discharge current,luminous intensity,and E/N compared with the diffuse mode observed in ND.In PD,as the gap between dielectric beads changes from 0 to250μm,the discharge between the dielectric bead gap changes from a partial discharge to a standing filamentary micro-discharge,which allows the plasma to leave the local area and is conducive to the propagation of surface streamers.In ND,the discharge only appears as a diffusionlike mode between the gap of dielectric beads,regardless of whether there is a discharge gap.Moreover,the generation of excited states N_(2)^(+)(B^(2)∑_(u)^(+))and N2(C^(3)Π_(u))is mainly observed in PD,which is attributed to the higher E/N in PD than that in ND.However,the generation of the OH(A^(2)∑^(+))radical in ND is higher than in PD.It is not directly dominated by E/N,but mainly by the resonant energy transfer process between metastable N_(2)(A^(3)∑_(u)^(+))and OH(X^(2)Π).Furthermore,both PD and ND demonstrate obvious energy relaxation processes of electron-to-vibration and vibration-to-vibration,and no vibration-to-rotation energy relaxation process is observed.

Time-resolved measurement of atomic emission enhancement by fs-ns dual-pulsed laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Time-resolved measurement of atomic emission enhancement is performed by using a 500-fs KrF laser pulse incident upon a high density supersonic O2 gas jet, synchronized with an orthogonal ns frequency-doubled Nd：YAG laser pulse. The ultra-short pulse serves as an igniter of the gas jet, and the subsequent ns-laser pulse significantly enhances the atomic emission. Analysis shows that the contributions to the enhancement effect are made mainly by the bremsstrahlung radiation and cascade ionization.

Formation Mechanism and Emission Spectrum of AlO Radicals in Reaction of Laser-ablated Al Atom and Oxygen

The emission spectrum of AlO radicals was analyzed in 440-540 nm in the reaction of laser ablated Al beam and O 2. The carrier of spectrum was assigned to Δ ν =0, ±1, ±2 vibrational sequences of B 2Σ +-X 2Σ + transition of AlO radicals, the observed maximum vibrational quantum number was ν ′=6. The rotational and vibrational temperatures of B state were estimated at 3000 and 7500 K by spectrally simulating the rovibronic population distribution. There is a strong evidence that the production of excited Al( 2 S ) atoms is essential to the formation of excited AlO radicals.

Effect of cavity dissipation on the emission spectrum of an atom interacting with a field in the dispersive approximation

The emission spectrum of a two-level atom interacting dispersively with a single mode radiation field in the dissipative cavity is investigated. A general expression for the emission spectrum is derived. The numerical results for the initial field in coherent state are calculated. It is found that the spectrum structure is influenced significantly by the cavity damping constant k, and the spectrum structure is dependent on the interaction time r when the cavity dissipation is present. Only one peak located at wa appears in the atomic spectra for larger T.

Continuous Emission Spectrum Measurement for Electron Temperature Determination in Low-Temperature Collisional Plasmas

Continuous emission spectrum measurement is applied for the inconvenient diagnos- tics of low-temperature collisional plasmas. According to the physical mechanism of continuous emission, a simplified model is presented to analyze the spectrum in low temperature plasma. The validity of this model is discussed in a wide range of discharge parameters, including electron tem- perature and ionization degree. Through the simplified model, the continuous emission spectrum in a collisional argon internal inductively coupled plasma is experimentally measured to determine the electron temperature distribution for different gas pressures and radio-frequency powers. The inverse Abel transform is also applied for a better spatially resoluted results. Meanwhile, the result of the continuous emission spectrum measurement is compared to that of the electrostatic double probes, which indicates the effectiveness of this method.

Emission spectrum of a harmonically trapped Λ-type three-level atom

We theoretically investigate the emission spectrum for a A-type three-level atom trapped in the node of a standing wave. We show that the atomic center-of-mass motion not only directly affects the peak number, peak position, and peak height in the atomic emission spectrum, but also influences the effects of the cavity field and the atomic initial state on atomic emission spectrum.

Properties of Light Emission Spectrumof Double-barrier Tunnel Junction

Fabricated are the double-barrier light emission tunnel junctions successfully. Introduced are the fabrication process and light emission characteristics. The spectra of the junctions are measured and analyzed especially. Their spectrum wavelength including main wave peak(locates at 450 nm^500 nm) of the double-barrier junction shows a "blue shift" in comparison with that of the single-barrier Metal/Insulator/Semiconductor(MIS) or Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) junction(wave peak locates at 620 nm^740 nm). This phenomenon should be due to the occurrence of the electron resonant tunneling in the double-barrier junction.

Analysis of Dynamic Tensile Process of Fiber Reinforced Concrete by Acoustic Emission Technique

The fiber reinforced concrete has good dynamic mechanical properties. But corresponding research lacks the dynamic damage characteristics of the polypropylene fiber（fiber of low elastic modulus） and steel fiber（fiber of high elastic modulus） reinforced concrete under medium strain rate（10-6 s-1-10-4 s-1）. In order to study the effect of strain rate on the damage characteristics of fiber reinforced concrete during the full curve damage process, the real time dynamic acoustic emission（AE） technique was applied to monitor the damage process of fiber reinforced concrete at three strain rates. The AE wavelet energy spectrum in ca8 frequency band and average AE peak frequency at three strain rates were analyzed. With the accumulation of damage, the AE wavelet energy spectrum in ca8 frequency band increased first and then decreased, and the average AE peak frequency increased gradually. With the increase of strain rate, the AE wavelet energy spectrum in ca8 frequency band and average AE peak frequency decreased gradually. The polypropylene fiber content has more obvious effect on the Dynamic increase factor（DIF） of the peak stress than the steel fiber content. The theoretical basis was provided for the monitoring of dynamic damage of fiber reinforced concrete based on the AE technique.

Experimental study of ultralong wave band for electro－magnetic signals and acoustic emission during rock fracture

The electro-magnetic (EM) and acoustic emission (AE) in the fracture process of both dry and wet rock samples including gabbro, granite, sandstone and marble are studied in the experiment in the laboratory under uniaxial pressure. Signals during the test are detected in ultralow frequency band. The experimental results may be outlined as follows: original waveforms of the electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) and AE in the range of 0-20 kHz frequencies are obtained; the EMR's intensity in fracture process is related to some factors as rock type, content of water, fracture intensity of rocks, loading rates and fracture state etc.; the EMR'S rate is proportional to that of AE during fracture statistically. About 70% of maximum values of EMR rate and AE rate are corresponded with each other; furthermore, the EM signals (EMS) are generally more developed and longer duration than AE signals; the principal energy of EMS detected by copper coin antenna as sensor in power spectra are distributed in frequencies lower than 6 kHz and otherwise those detected by EMinduction coil are at about 10 kHz, and in contrast the major energies of AE are in frequencies less than3 kHz; another notable phenomenon is that distinct electro-magnetic signals are detected before AE occurrence. Since EMR and AE signals obtained in the process of rock fracture are better corresponded to eachother, therefore it'S reasonable to propose that the EMR anormalies observed prior to some earthquakes aremainly produced by fractures of rock in source region, as for the EMS occurred before AE may be related topiezoelectric and piezomagnetic effects.

Simultaneous measurements of global vibrational spectra and dephasing times of molecular vibrational modes by broadband time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectrography

In broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering （CARS） spectroscopy with supercontinuum （SC）, the simultaneously detectable spectral coverage is limited by the spectral continuity and the simultaneity of various spectral components of SC in an enough bandwidth. By numerical simulations, the optimal experimental conditions for improving the SC are obtained. The broadband time-resolved CARS spectrography based on the SC with required temporal and spectral distributions is realised. The global molecular vibrational spectrum with well suppressed nonresonant background noise can be obtained in a single measurement. At the same time, the measurements of dephasing times of various molecular vibrational modes can be conveniently achieved from intensities of a sequence of time-resolved CARS signals. It will be more helpful to provide a complete picture of molecular vibrations, and to exhibit a potential to understand not only both the solvent dynamics and the solute-solvent interactions, but also the mechanisms of chemical reactions in the fields of biology, chemistry and material science.

Multi-scale morphology analysis of acoustic emission signal and quantitative diagnosis for bearing fault

Monitoring of potential bearing faults in operation is of critical importance to safe operation of high speed trains.One of the major challenges is how to differentiate relevant signals to operational conditions of bearings from noises emitted from the surrounding environment.In this work,we report a procedure for analyzing acoustic emission signals collected from rolling bearings for diagnosis of bearing health conditions by examining their morphological pattern spectrum（MPS） through a multi-scale morphology analysis procedure.The results show that acoustic emission signals resulted from a given type of bearing faults share rather similar MPS curves.Further examinations in terms of sample entropy and Lempel-Ziv complexity of MPS curves suggest that these two parameters can be utilized to determine damage modes.

Modification of the spontaneous emission of quantum dots near the surface of a three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystal

This paper demonstrates experimentally and numerically that a significant modification of spontaneous emission rate can be achieved near the surface of a three-dimensional photonic crystal. In experiments, semiconductor coreshell quantum dots are intentionally confined in a thin polymer film on which a three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystal is fabricated. The spontaneous emission rate of quantum dots is characterised by conventional and time-resolved photoluminescence （PL） measurements. The modification of the spontaneous emission rate, which is reflected in the change of spectral shape and PL lifetime, is clearly observed. While an obvious increase in the PL lifetime is found at most wavelengths in the band gap, a significant reduction in the PL lifetime by one order of magnitude is observed at the short-wavelength band edge. Numerical simulation reveals a periodic modulation of spontaneous emission rate with decreasing modulation strength when an emitter is moved away from the surface of the photonic crystal. It is supported by the fact that the modification of spontaneous emission rate is not pronounced for quantum dots distributed in a thick polymer film where both enhancement and suppression are present simultaneously. This finding provides a simple and effective way for improving the performance of light emitting devices.

Characteristics of emissive spectrum and the removal of nitric oxide in N_2/O_2/NO plasma with argon additive

Although the approach using non-thermal plasma（NTP） for deNOx has been studied for over 15 years,how to achieve higher removal effciency with lower cost is still a barrier for its industrial application.In order to investigate the impact of the argon additive on electron density,energy and nitric oxide reduction process in plasma,the spectrum of the dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure in a coaxial reactor was measured using the monochromater with high resolution.The comparative experiments for NO reduction were carried out simultaneously in N2/O2/NO plasma stream with and without argon,respectively.The nitrogen molecular spectrum which is attributed to the energy level transition（C^3πu→ B^3πg） was compared in the wavelength range 300-480 nm and the electron density and temperature were determined based on the relative intensities and Stark broadening width of spectral lines.The spectrum results indicated that the argon additive could enhance the intensity of emissive spectrum of plasma,thus the electron concentration as well as the energy was increased,and finally prompted the ionization rate to produce active N,O and O3.The results of NO reduction showed that NO conversion effciency increased in the range of 10%-30% with 5% addition of argon in stream comparing with the condition without argon additive.This study will play a positive role in the industrial application of dielectric barrier discharge deNOx reactor.

Two-photon emission in coupled biexciton quantum dot–cavity system: Phonon-assisted model

We theoretically analyze the steady state emission spectrum and transient temporal dynamics in a coupled biexciton quantum dot（QD）–cavity system. For steady state, a phonon-assisted biexciton–exciton cascade model under continuous wave（CW） excitation is presented to explain the asymmetric QD–cavity emission spectrum intensities（intensities of cavity,exciton, and biexciton emission peak） in off-resonance condition. Results demonstrate that the electron–phonon process is crucial to the asymmetry of emission spectrum intensity. Moreover the transient characteristics of the biexciton–exciton cascade system under pulse excitation show abundant nonlinear temporal dynamic behaviors, including complicated oscillations which are caused by the four-level structure of QD model. We also reveal that under off-resonance condition the cavity outputs are slightly reduced due to the electron–phonon interaction.

Experimental Studies of Low-Pressure Plasma Jet by Means of Langmuir Probes and Emission Spectra

An investigation was made into the argon plasma jet that expanded in a low-pressure vacuum chamber. The spatial distributions of the parameters of the plasma jet with different supplied powers were measured using a ten-channel Langmuir probe array. The chemical species in the plasma jet were identified by emission spectroscopy. The electron excitation temperatures at two positions, 10 cm and 50 cm downstream from the nozzle exit were calculated, respectively, by the Boltzmann plot method.

Emission Spectra of Some Heteropolytungstates Containing Europium

The emission spectra of some heteropolytungstates containing europium, K.[Eu(XW11 O39)2](X = P, Ge, As, or Ga), K17[EuCAs2W17O61)2] and K16H9EuAs4W40O140 have been investigated and the structures of these compounds are discussed. The emission spectra at room temperature are very similar to each other in terms of both the number of bands and transition frequencies, showing that they have the similar structures to those of K16[Ce(P2W17O61)2] and K12[U(GeW11O39)2].

Effect of atomic initial phase difference on spontaneous emission of an atom embedded in photonic crystal

We investigate the effect of initial phase difference between the two excited states of a V-type three-level atom on its steady state behaviour of spontaneous emission. A modified density of modes is introduced to calculate the spontaneous emission spectra in photonic crystal. Spectra in free space are also shown to compare with that in photonic crystal with different relative positions of the excited levels from upper band-edge frequency. It is found that the initial phase difference plays an important role in the quantum interference property between the two decay channels. For a zero initial phase, destructive property is presented in the spectra. With the increase of initial phase difference, quantum interference between the two decay channels from upper levels to ground level turns to be constructive. Furthermore, we give an interpretation for the property of these spectra.
