Crystal’s temperature tuning curves are precisely measured using concept of the equivalent temperature. Both optical absorption and heat transfer coefficients of the crystal are measured employing kinetics of the crystal equivalent temperature.展开更多

The equilibrium lattice constants, density of states, Mulliken population, bond lengths, bond angles as well as the pressure dependence of the band gap are presented. Analysis of the simulated high pressure band structure suggests that borate Li4CaB2O6 can be used as the semi-conductor optical material. Based on the Mulliken population analysis, it is found that the electron transfer of the Li atom is very different from that of other atoms in the studied range of high pressures. The charge populations of the Li atom decrease with the pressure up to 60 GPa, then increase with the pressure.展开更多

Both the compounds exhibit TPA properties, and the TPA values determined by z-scan measurement are 10 GM and 39 GM for SK-G1 and NT-G1, respectively, at wavelength 80Ohm. Time-resolved spectroscopic techniques are employed to further explore the excited state dynamics of NT-G l with larger TPA cross section. The research results show that there is an ultrafast intraband energy transfer process （about 3ps） before the formation of charge transfer state with a relatively long lifetime.展开更多
