Productivity of Concentration-Dependent Conversion of Substitutional Nitrogen Atoms into Nitrogen-Vacancy Quantum Emitters in Synthetic-Diamond by Ultrashort Laser Pulses.

Tightly focused 515-nm, 0.3-ps laser pulses modify in a laser filamentation regime the crystalline structure of an Ib-type high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) synthesized diamond in a thin-plate form. The modified microregions (micromarks) in the yellow and colorless crystal zones, possessing different concentrations of elementary substitutional nitrogen (N) impurity atoms (C-centers), exhibit their strongly diminished local IR absorption (upon correction to the thickness scaling factor).

Nanoscale Vacancy-Mediated Aggregation, Dissociation, and Splitting of Nitrogen Centers in Natural Diamond Excited by Visible-Range Femtosecond Laser Pulses.

Natural IaA+B diamonds were exposed in their bulk by multiple 0.3 ps, 515 nm laser pulses focused by a 0.25 NA micro-objective, producing in the prefocal region (depth of 20-50 μm) a bulk array of photoluminescent nanostructured microtracks at variable laser exposures and pulse energies.

Up/Down-Scaling Photoluminescent Micromarks Written in Diamond by Ultrashort Laser Pulses: Optical Photoluminescent and Structural Raman Imaging.

Elongated photoluminescent micromarks were inscribed inside a IaAB-type natural diamond in laser filamentation regime by multiple 515 nm, 0.3 ps laser pulses tightly focused by a 0.25 NA micro-objective.

Petroleum Coke Combustion in Fixed Fluidized Bed Mode in the Presence of Metal Catalysts.

Petroleum coke is one of the waste products generated in the oil refining industry that can be used as fuel in energetics. However, the low volatile matter content and graphite-like structure of petroleum coke are the reasons for its high ignition temperature and combustion complexity. In this research, petroleum coke combustion and oxidation kinetics in the presence of metal catalysts were investigated.
