Direct observation of self-focusing with subdiffraction limited resolution using near-field scanning optical microscope
The self-focusing effect in As2S3 glass has been studied using a near-field scanning optical microscope. Optical images of fine features in the self-focused beam were directly measured at the self-focus with approximately 100 nm spatial resolution. Because of the unusually large nonlinear refractive index at 690 nm, filaments with minimum size of 0.3 &mgr;m were observed in a 1.6 mW beam propagating through the 1.7 &mgr;m thin film. A qualitative analysis of our experimental results is presented. We show that nonparaxiality is responsible for arresting self-focusing, as predicted by recent theories.
Modeling of the Permeate Flux during Microfiltration of BSA-Adsorbed Microspheres in a Stirred Cell.
A study on the variation of the permeate flux was performed in a stirred cell charged with microspheres, to investigate the effects of the stirrer speeds (300, 400, and 600 rpm) and the BSA concentration (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g/L) under constant pressure. The permeate flux increased over time before the saturation point, but it began to decrease after that point. An increase of the BSA concentration and the stirrer speed resulted in the rapid increase of the permeate flux. This is contrary to the observation of the conventional filtration experiments using a stirred cell. A resistance-in-series model was employed for the modeling of the permeate flux. The cake resistance (R(c), induced by the concentration polarization of microspheres) and the fouling resistance (R(f), induced by the adsorption of BSA inside the membrane pore) must be considered simultaneously for the modeling. These modeling results were in good agreement with the experimental data. These can be applied to the special system considering both R(c) and R(f) as well as the general filtration systems using a stirred cell. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
Magnetic breakdown at high fields: semiclassical and quantum treatments
The effects of finite temperature and noninteracting spins on magnetic breakdown (MB) in a quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor have been determined by computing the field-dependent free energy using a realistic crystal structure with no adjustable parameters. The de Haas-van Alphen oscillation spectra, including the MB phenomena, are thereby obtained microscopically. Within the range of computed magnetic field, from 170 to 1400 T, we find remarkable agreement between the predictions of the semiclassical and quantum treatment. We also find that the Zeeman effect leads to splitting of a frequency corresponding to the fundamental orbit.
Search for a 33.9 MeV/c(2) neutral particle in pion decay
The E815 (NuTeV) neutrino experiment has performed a search for a 33. 9 MeV/c(2) weakly interacting neutral particle produced in pion decay. Such a particle may be responsible for an anomaly in the timing distribution of neutrino interactions in the KARMEN experiment. E815 has searched for this particle's decays in an instrumented decay region; no evidence for this particle was found. The search is sensitive to pion branching ratios as low as 10(-13).
Photoalignment of liquid crystals by liquid crystals
We observed light-induced alignment of the nematic liquid crystal, 4, 4(')-n-pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), on a fused quartz. Irradiation of the adsorbed layer with polarized ultraviolet light produced homogeneous alignment in a 5CB-filled liquid crystal cell with the easy orientation axis perpendicular to the polarization direction. The measured anchoring energy increases with illumination up to 10(-4) erg/cm (2). Phase retardation and pretilt measurements confirmed near homogeneous alignment of the LC in a cell, while the polarization dependence of second harmonic generation suggested a near normal alignment of the adsorbed layer. We believe that light-induced rearrangement or phototransformation of the adsorbed layer causes the observed phenomenon.
Phase-separated composite films: experiment and theory
A different phase-separation process is capable of producing a composite system consisting of a very thin layer of liquid crystal in contact with a similarly thin layer of polymer. The morphology of the polymer depends on the composition of the prepolymer-liquid crystal mixture and the rate of polymerization. A simple one-dimensional theory is able to describe the essential features of this process.
Preparation of Nanosize Tin Oxide Particles from Water-in-Oil Microemulsions.
Nanoparticles of tin oxide (SnO2) have been prepared from water-in-oil microemulsions consisting of water, AOT (surfactant), and n-heptane (oil). Precursor hydroxides were precipitated in the aqueous cores of water-in-oil microemulsions and then calcined at 600 degrees C for 2 h to form tin oxide powder. The formation of phase pure tin oxide was confirmed by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. The tin oxide powder was found to be less than 40 nm in particle diameter and to have a higher specific surface area, about 73 m2/g, when compared with tin oxide powder prepared through the conventional precipitation method (19 m2/g).
