High-efficiency double phase conjugation in a Ce-doped strontium barium niobate crystal
Abstract:
We describe a high-efficiency double-phase-conjugate mirror in a Ce-doped strontium barium niobate crystal by using a low-power He-Ne laser at a 633-nm wavelength. A phase-conjugate transmissivity of as high as 30% was observed. The dependence of the transmissivity on the incident angle was measured. It was also observed that the phase-conjugate signal varied with time pseudoperiodically with a period of approximately 35 min. This variation is due to the competition between the double phase conjugation and beam-fanning effects.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
