  • 층 성장 방향으로 정전기장을 걸어준 GaAs/AlGaAs 초격자 반도체에서, 두 개의 100 fs 광학 펄스에 의해 생성된 four-wave-mixing(FWM) 신호의 dephasing 현상을 반도체 블록 방정식을 사용해서 분석하고자 한다. 이 FWM 신호의 이완은 전하-전하와 전하-포논 충돌과 같은 phase-breaking 충돌 과정들에 의해서 야기되는 비선형적인 광분극의 dephasing에 의해서 결정되어 진다.$^{(1)}$ 이 비선형적인 광분극은 펄스들에 의해서 동시에 여기되어 나타나는 자유전하 분극과 엑시톤 분극으로 구성되는데, 이 두 분극의 이완시간 특성은 서로 다른 거동을 보인다.$^{(2,3)}$ GaAs/AlGaAs 초격자 반도체에서 이 자유 전하 분극의 dephasing이 엑시톤 분극의 dephasing 보다 훨씬 빠르게 일어나고, 엑시톤이 자유 전하의 특성을 갖게 될수록, 즉 온도가 높을수록 또 엑시톤이 3차원의 특성을 가질수록 이 dephasing은 빠르게 일어난다.$^{(4)}$ (중략)

  • A theory in which the Enskog hard sphere collisional dynamics complements the hydrodynamic theory is applied to the fast modulation dephasing dynamics in liquids which leads to homogeneous line broadening in the isotropic Raman spectra. The dephasing times of several molecules in pure liquids and in trace solutions in the solvent $CCl_4$ are calculated and these are compared with experimental values. The temperature dependence of the dephasing time of liquid acetonitrile and the isothermal density dependence of the dephasing time of liquid methyl iodide are also investigated.

  • Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a source of strong spin dephasing in two- and three-dimensional semiconducting systems. We report that spin dephasing in a two-dimensional electron gas can be suppressed by introducing a quantum point contact. Surprisingly, this suppression was not limited to the vicinity of the contact but extended to the entire two-dimensional electron gas. This facilitates the electrical control of the spin degree of freedom in a two-dimensional electron gas through spin-orbit coupling.

  • Molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to study density effects on vibrational dephasing. Because of difficulty due to large time scale difference between vibrational motion and vibrational relaxation, we adopt adiabatic approximation in which the vibrational motion is assumed to be much faster than translational and rotational motion. As a result, we are able to study vibrational dephasing by simulating motion of rigid molecules. It is shown that the dephasing time is decreased as density increases and the contribution to this result is mainly due to the mean-squared frequency fluctuation.

  • The propagation of an intense laser pulse through an upward density-gradient plasma in a self-modulated laser wakefield acceleration (SM-LWFA) is investigated by using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. In the fully relativistic and kinetic PIC simulations, the relativistic and kinetic effects including Landau damping enhance the electron dephasing. This electron dephasing is the most important factor for limiting the energy of accelerated electrons. However, the electron dephasing, which is enhanced by relativistic and kinetic effects in the homogeneous plasma, can be forestalled through the detuning process arising from the longitudinal density gradient. Simulation results show that the detuning process can effectively maintain the coherence of the laser wake wave in the spatiotemporal wakefield pattern, hence considerable energy enhancement is achievable. The spatiotemporal profiles are analyzed for the detailed study on the relativistic and kinetic effects. In this paper, the optimum slope of the density gradient for increasing electron energy is presented for various laser intensities.

  • We investigate transmission of light in nanoscale structures. We present spatial and temporal domain measurements of the dephasing of surface plasmon excitations in metal films with periodic nano-hole arrays. By probing coherent spatial SP propagation lengths of a few f1. $\mu$m and an ultrafast decay of the SP polarization on a 10 fs timescale, we demonstrate that the SP transmission peaks are homogeneously broadened by the SP radiative lifetime. The pronounced wavelength and hole size dependence of the dephasing rate shows that the microscopic origin of the conversion of SP into light is a Rayleigh-like scattering by the periodic hole array. We have experimentally studied the dephasing of surface plasmon excitations in metallic nano-hole arrays. By relating nanoscopic SP propagation, ultrafast light transmission and optical spectra, we demonstrate that the transmission spectra of these plasmonic bandgap structures are homogeneously broadened. The spectral line shape and dephasing time are dominated by Rayleigh scattering of SP into light and can varied over a wide range by controlling the resonance energy and/or hole radius. This opens the way towards designing SP nano-optic devices and spatially and spectrally tailoring light -matter interactions on nanometer length scales.

  • Aneurysm-mimicking findings were frequently visualized due to hemodynamical causes of dephasing effects around area of A-com artery during magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) and these kind of phenomena have not been clearly known yet. We investigated the hemodynamical patterns of dephasing effect around area of the A-com artery that might be a cause of false intracranial aneurysms on MRA. For experimental study, We used hand-made silicon phantoms of the asymmetric A-com artery as like a bifurcation configuration. In a closed circulatory system with UHDC computer driven cardiac pump system. MRA and fast digital subfraction angiography(DSA) involved the use of these phantoms. Flow patterns were evaluated with axial and coronal imaging of MRA(2D-TOF, 3D-TOF) and DSA of Phantoms constructed from an automated closed-type circulatory system filled with glycerol solution [circulation fluid(glycerol:water = 1:1.4)]. These findings were then compared with those obtained from computational fluid dynamic(CFD) for inter-experimental correlation study. Imaging findings of MRA, DSA and CFD on inflow zone according to the following: a) MRA demonstrated high signal intensity zone as inflow zone on silicon phantom; b) Patterns of DSA were well matched with MRA on trajectory of inflow zone; and c) CFD were well matched with MRA on the pattern of main flow. Imaging findings of MRA. DSA and CFD on turbulent flow zone according to the following: a) MRA demonstrated hyposignal intensity zone at shoulder and axillar zone of main inflow; b) DSA delineated prominent vortex flow at the same area. The hemodynamical causes of signal defect, which could Induce the false aneurysm on MRA, turned out to be dephasing effects at axilla area of bifurcation from turbulent flow as the results of MRA, DSA and CFD.

  • Purpose: To develop a novel combination of controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA) with integrated SSFP (CAIPI-iSSFP) for accelerated SSFP imaging without banding artifacts at 3T. Materials and Methods: CAIPI-iSSFP was developed by adding a dephasing gradient to the balanced SSFP (bSSFP) pulse sequence with a gradient area that results in $2{\pi}$ dephasing across a single pixel. Extended phase graph (EPG) simulations were performed to show the signal behaviors of iSSFP, bSSFP, and RF-spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) sequences. In vivo experiments were performed for brain and abdominal imaging at 3T with simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) acceleration factors of 2, 3 and 4 with CAIPI-iSSFP and CAIPI-bSSFP. The image quality was evaluated by measuring the relative contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and by qualitatively assessing banding artifact removal in the brain. Results: Banding artifacts were removed using CAIPI-iSSFP compared to CAIPI-bSSFP up to an SMS factor of 4 and 3 on brain and liver imaging, respectively. The relative CNRs between gray and white matter were on average 18% lower in CAIPI-iSSFP compared to that of CAIPI-bSSFP. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that CAIPI-iSSFP provides up to a factor of four acceleration, while minimizing the banding artifacts with up to a 20% decrease in the relative CNR.

  • This work provides an alternative derivation of third order response functions in four wave mixing spectroscopy of multichromophoric macromolecular systems considering only single exciton states. For the case of harmonic oscillator bath linearly and diagonally coupled to exciton states, closed form expressions showing all the explicit time dependences are derived. These expressions can provide more solid physical basis for understanding 2-dimensional electronic spectroscopy signals. For more general cases of system-bath coupling, the quantum master equation (QME) approach is employed for the derivation of multistep time evolution equations for Green function-like operators. Solution of these equations is feasible at the level of 2nd order non-Markovian QME, and the new approach can account for inter-exciton coupling, dephasing, relaxation, and non-Markovian effects in a consistent manner.
