Growth of deuterium clusters in a gas jet and ion energy spectrum of clusters in ultra-short laser field

Large deuterium clusters are generated using a cryogenic pulse valve with a cone nozzle (21 mm long, 4° open angle). Rayleigh scattering experiment is carried out to obtain the scaling relation between scattering signal SR and backing pressure P0. A method using the Coulomb explosion model is proposed to verify that the clusters continue to grow after their leaving the nozzle. Our experiments suggest a tentatively optimized position for laser cluster interaction.     

Experimental Study on Coherence Time of a Light Field with Single Photon Counting

The second-order degree of coherence of pseudo-thermal light and coherence time are experimentally studied via the Hanbruy-Brown-Twiss （HBT） scheme. The system consists of two non-photon-number-resolving single- photon-counting modules （SPCMs） operating in the Geiger mode. We investigate the coherence time of the incident beam for different spot sizes on a ground glass a~d speeds of a rotating ground glass. The corresponding coherence time can be obtained from Gaussian fitting for the measured second-order degree of coherence. The results show that the coherence time of measured pseudo-thermal light depends on the spot sizes and the rotating speeds of the ground glass. The maximum value of the second-order degree of coherence is reduced as the rotating speed decreases. This result can be well explained by the model of mixed thermal and coherent fields with different ratios.

Taiwankadsurins A, B, and C, three new C19 homolignans from Kadsura philippinensis

[structures: see text] Three novel C19 homolignans, designated taiwankadsurins A (1), B (2), and C (3), were isolated from the aerial parts of Taiwanese medicinal plant Kadsura philippinensis. The structures of 1-3, which have a 3,4-{1'-[(Z)-2'-methoxy-2'-oxo-ethylidene]}-pentano(2,3-dihydro-benzo[b]furano)-3-(2'-methoxycarbonyl-2'-hydroxy-2',3'-epoxide) skeleton, were determined by spectroscopic analyses, especially 2D NMR techniques (HMBC and NOESY).

Structures and catalytic properties of PtRu electrocatalysts prepared via the reduced RuO2 nanorods array

Structures and properties of PtRu electrocatalyts, derived from the aligned RuO2 nanorods (RuO2NR), are investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry toward COads and methanol oxidation. The catalytic activity of methanol oxidation and the CO tolerance are promoted significantly by reducing RuO2 into Ru metal before decorating with Pt. Reduction of RuO2NR was carried out by either thermal decomposition at 650 degrees C in vacuum or H2-reduction at 130 degrees C in low-pressure hydrogen. Reduction assisted by hydrogen allows infiltrating decomposition at low temperature and produces an array of nanorods with rugged walls featuring small Ru nuclei and larger surface area. Pt-RuNR, whose surface Pt:Ru ratio=0.58:0.42 was prepared by decorating with 0.1 mg cm(-2) Pt on the H2-reduced array containing 0.39 mg cm(-2) Ru, demonstrates a favorable combination of CO tolerance and high methanol oxidation activity superior to other RuO2NR-derived catalysts. When compared with a commercial electrocatalyst of PtRu (1:1) alloy (<4 nm), the activity of Pt-RuNR in methanol oxidation is shown to be somewhat lower at potential<0.48 V and higher at potential>or=0.48 V.
