Inversionless light amplification and optical switching controlled by state-dependent alignment of molecules

We propose a method to achieve amplification without population inversion by anisotropic molecules whose orientation by an external electric field is state-dependent. It is based on decoupling of the lower-state molecules from the resonant light while the excited ones remain emitting. The suitable class of molecules is discussed, the equation for the gain factor is derived, and the magnitude of the inversionless amplification is estimated for the typical experimental conditions. Such switching of the sample from absorbing to amplifying via transparent state is shown to be possible both with the aid of dc and ac control electric fields.Comment: AMS-LaTeX v1.2, 4 pages with 4 figure

Optical properties, electron-phonon coupling, and Raman scattering of vanadium ladder compounds

The electronic structure of two V-based ladder compounds, the quarter-filled NaV$_2$O$_5$ in the symmetric phase and the iso-structural half-filled CaV$_2$O$_5$ is investigated by ab initio calculations. Based on the bandstructure we determine the dielectric tensor $\epsilon(\omega)$ of these systems in a wide energy range. The frequencies and eigenvectors of the fully symmetric A$_{g}$ phonon modes and the corresponding electron-phonon and spin-phonon coupling parameters are also calculated from first-principles. We determine the Raman scattering intensities of the A$_g$ phonon modes as a function of polarization and frequency of the exciting light. All results, i.e. shape and magnitude of the dielectric function, phonon frequencies and Raman intensities show very good agreement with available experimental data.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure

Effect of transient pinning on stability of drops sitting on an inclined plane

We report on new instabilities of the quasi-static equilibrium of water drops pinned by a hydrophobic inclined substrate. The contact line of a statically pinned drop exhibits three transitions of partial depinning: depinning of the advancing and receding parts of the contact line and depinning of the entire contact line leading to the drop's translational motion. We find a region of parameters where the classical Macdougall-Ockrent-Frenkel approach fails to estimate the critical volume of the statically pinned inclined drop

Characteristic length for pinning force density in Nb3SnNb{_3}Sn

The pinning force density $F{_p}(J{_c},B)=J{_c} \times B$ (where $J_c$ is the critical current density, $B$ is applied magnetic field) is one of main quantities which characterizes the resilience of a superconductor to carry dissipative-free transport current in applied magnetic field. Kramer (1973 J. Appl. Phys. 44 1360) and Dew-Hughes (1974 Phil. Mag. 30 293) proposed a widely used scaling law for the pinning force density amplitude: $F{_p}(B)=F{_{p,max}}((p+q){^{(p+q)}}/({p^p}{q^q}))(B/B_{c2}){^p}(1-B/B{_{c2}})^q$, where $F{_{p,max}}$, $B{_{c2}}$, $p$, and $q$ are free-fitting parameters. Since late 1970-s till now, several research groups reported experimental data for the dependence of $F_{p,max}$ on the average grain size, $d$, in $Nb{_3}Sn$-based conductors. Godeke (2006 Supercond. Sci. Techn. 19 R68) proposed that the dependence obeys the law $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|=A \times log(1/d)+B$. However, this scaling law has several problems, for instance, the logarithm is taken from a non-dimensionless variable, and $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|< 0$ for large grain sizes and $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|\rightarrow \infty$ for $d \rightarrow 0$. Here we reanalysed full inventory of publicly available $|F{_{p,max}}(d)|$ data for $Nb{_3}Sn$ conductors and found that the dependence can be described by $F_{p,max}(d)= F_{p,max}(0)exp(-d/{\delta})$ law, where the characteristic length, ${\delta}$, is varying within a remarkably narrow range, i.e. ${\delta}=(175 \pm 13) nm$, for samples fabricated by different technologies. The interpretation of the result is based on an idea that the in-field supercurrent is flowing within a thin surface layer (the thickness of ${\delta}$) near the grain boundary surfaces. Alternative interpretation is that ${\delta}$ represents characteristic length for the exponentially decay flux pinning potential from dominant defects in $Nb{_3}Sn$ superconductors, which are grain boundaries.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figure

Charge ordering in quarter-filled ladder systems coupled to the lattice

We investigate charge ordering in the presence of electron-phonon coupling for quarter-filled ladder systems by using Exact Diagonalization. As an example we consider NaV2O5 using model parameters obtained from first-principles band-structure calculations. The relevant Holstein coupling to the lattice considerably reduces the critical value of the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion at which formation of the zig-zag charge-ordered state occurs, which is then accompanied by a static lattice distortion. Energy and length of a kink-like excitation on the background of the distorted lattice are calculated. Spin and charge spectra on ladders with and without static distortion are obtained, and the charge gap and the effective spin-spin exchange parameter J are extracted. J agrees well with experimental results. Analysis of the dynamical Holstein model, restricted to a small number of phonons, shows that low frequency lattice vibrations increase the charge order, accompanied by dynamically produced zig-zag lattice distortions.Comment: 11 pages, 17 figures, revised version as to appear in Phys.

Electrochemical synthesis of nickel-aluminium oxide system from metals obtained by ore processing

Separate and combined electrochemical oxidation of aluminium and nickel has been conducted by alternating current of industrial frequency. Concentration increase of electrolyte solution (sodium chloride) in the range from 3 to 25 wt. % and current density from 0.5 to 1.5 A/cm{2} was found to result in the increasing metal oxidation rate, excluding aluminium oxidation which oxidation rate is independent of the electrolyte solution concentration. At the current density of 1.5 A/cm{2} the products of separate oxidation of nickel and aluminium are nickel oxyhydroxides, nickel hydroxides and aluminium oxyhydroxide (boehmite), respectively. In addition to these compounds, the nickel-aluminium oxide hydrate is included in the products of nickel and aluminium co-oxidation. Its content grows with the increasing electrolyte solution concentration. Varying the concentration and current density within the limits indicated, the nickel-aluminium oxide system with nickel oxide content from 3 to 10 wt. % is produced

The Galactic 26Al Problem and The Close Binary SNIb/c Solution?

The origin of the long-lived radioactive 26Al, which has been observed in the Galactic interstellar medium from its 1.809 MeV decay gamma-ray line emission, has been a persistent problem for over twenty years. Wolf-Rayet (WR) winds were thought to be the most promising source, but their calculated 26Al yields are not consistent with recent analyses of the 1.809 MeV emission from the nearest WR star and nearby OB associations. The expected 26Al yield from the WR star exceeds by as much as a factor of 3, that set by the 2-sigma upper limit on the 1.809 MeV emission, while the WR yields in the OB associations are only about 1/3 of that required by the 1.809 MeV emission. We suggest that a solution to these problems may lie in 26Al from a previously ignored source: explosive nucleosynthesis in the core collapse SNIb/c supernovae of WR stars that have lost most of their mass to close binary companions. Recent nucleosynthetic calculations of SNIb/c suggest that their 26Al yields depend very strongly on the final, pre-supernova mass of the WR star, and that those with final masses around 6 to 8 solar masses are expected to produce as much as 0.01 solar masses of 26Al per supernova. Such binary SNIb/c make up only a small fraction of the current SNIb/c and only about 1% of all Galactic core collapse supernovae. They appear to be such prolific sources that the bulk of the present 26Al in the Galaxy may come from just a few hundred close binary SNIb/c and the intense 1.809 MeV emission from nearby OB associations may come from just one or two such supernova.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letters, 611,10 August 200
