Cl-Nd (chlorine-neodymium)

Diagnostics of inductively coupled chlorine plasmas : Measurement of Cl 2 ¿ and Cl ¿ densities

The absolute densities of positive ions ~Cl2 1 and Cl! are obtained over a 2–20 mTorr pressure range and 5–1000 W input radio-frequency rf power range in a transformer-coupled Cl2 plasma. The relative number density of Cl2 1 is measured by laser-induced fluorescence. These laser-induced fluorescence data are calibrated by Langmuir-probe measurements of total positive-ion density at low powers t...

Experimental lifetime determination in neutral praseodymium (Pr I) and neodymium (Nd I)

Radiative lifetime measurements have been performed, with a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique, for 18 even-parity levels of Pr I and 15 odd-parity levels of Nd I. The new results are compared with the few experimental data available in the literature and good agreement is found. However, fragmentary knowledge of the spectra prevents reliable calculation of branching fractions a...

Influence of neodymium concentration on excitation and emission properties of Nd doped gallium oxide nanocrystalline films

In vitro Evaluation of Dentin Surface Irradiated by Neodymium-doped: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser (Nd: YAG) Using Scanning Electron Microscopy

Introdouction: Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most painful chronic problems reported in dental offices. Various methods have been applied for the treatment of DH. However, majority of them are either ineffective or last for a short period of time. It has been reported that lasers, particularly Neodymium- doped: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet laser (Nd: YAG), can be helpful in the treatme...

The optoelectronic role of chlorine in CH3NH3PbI3(Cl)-based perovskite solar cells

Perovskite photovoltaics offer a compelling combination of extremely low-cost, ease of processing and high device performance. The optoelectronic properties of the prototypical CH3NH3PbI3 can be further adjusted by introducing other extrinsic ions. Specifically, chlorine incorporation has been shown to affect the morphological development of perovksite films, which results in improved optoelect...
