Microstructures and Optical Properties of LiNbO₃ Sequentially Implanted with Ag and Cu Ions

Abstract

CorrPower is a cross-correlation-based algorithm to be used in the LIGO burst analysis. The code looks for excesses of coherent power in multiple interferometers, unifying techniques previously implemented in the LIGO triggered and untriggered burst searches. CorrPower performs three functions:(1) a continuous scan of the data, (2) an r-statistic waveform consistency test on candidates produced by the burst event analysis (Cadonati L 2004 Class. Quantum Grav. 21 S1695-703, LIGO Scientific Collaboration 2005 Preprint gr-qc/0505029), and (3) a search around the time of external triggers, a natural evolution of the analysis used for the gravitational-wave signature of GRB030329 (LIGO Scientific Collaboration 2005 Phys. Rev. D 72 042002, Mohanty S et al 2004 Class. Quantum Grav. 21 S1831-7, Mohanty S et al 2004 Class. Quantum Grav. 21 S765-74).

Correlation between damage evolution, cluster formation and optical properties of silver implanted lithium niobate

“…Thus, for a clear correlation of the cluster sizes, the crystal structure and the optical properties, it is necessary to measure the cluster size distribution and the degree of damage in lithium niobate for various annealing temperatures. There are some results of TEM studies of Ag clusters in lithium niobate in literature [11,12], but hardly any information on the cluster size distribution can be found. The lattice recovery during annealing was investigated by Poker and Thomas [13] using RBS channeling measurements with 2 MeV He + ions.…”

Shape manipulation of ion irradiated Ag nanoparticles embedded in lithium niobate

“…Metal nanoparticles embedded in different host materials have been widely studied in the last decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. These particles are of particular interest because of their special optical properties.…”

“…These particles are of particular interest because of their special optical properties. One example thereof is the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) [5,10,12]. Applications of embedded metallic nanoparticles range from optical filters [14] to the enhancement of nonlinear optical effects [15].…”
