Nonlinear optical properties of mushroom-shaped CdSe/CdS coreshells
Abstract:
The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of mushroom-shaped CdSe/CdS coreshells as a function of concentration have been investigated using polarization- and concentration-resolved degenerate four-wave mixing in a resonant region. The effective third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities, /chi(3)xxxx/ and /chi(3)xyyx/ of CdSe/CdS coreshells were estimated to be approximately 1.86 x 10(-21)-1.03 x 10(-20) m2/V2, and approximately 0.45 x 10(-21)-6.15 x 10(-21) m2/V2, respectively, for various concentrations of approximately 0.64 x 10(-3)-4.95 x 10(-3) mol/m3. The second hyperpolarizabilities, /

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
