超导临界温度理论(Ⅰ)

本文求出了Eliashberg方程在T=T_c时的解,得到了下面的临界温度级数表示式: 其中α₀(μ^*),α₁(μ^*)等系数是μ^*的函数.此式表明,T_c不仅依赖于λ,〈ω²〉和μ^*,而且依赖于有效声子谱α²F(ω)的各级矩〈ω²n〉.这是区别于前人的T_c公式最重要的一点。这说明像McMillan以及Allen和Dynes的T_c公式不仅是近似的,而主要是他们没有能正确地概括出α²F(ω)对T_c的影响.     

Study of a market model with conservative exchanges on complex networks

Many models of market dynamics make use of the idea of conservative wealth exchanges among economic agents. A few years ago an exchange model using extremal dynamics was developed and a very interesting result was obtained: a self-generated minimum wealth or poverty line. On the other hand, the wealth distribution exhibited an exponential shape as a function of the square of the wealth. These results have been obtained both considering exchanges between nearest neighbors or in a mean field scheme. In the present paper we study the effect of distributing the agents on a complex network. We have considered archetypical complex networks: Erdös–Rényi random networks and scale-free networks. The presence of a poverty line with finite wealth is preserved but spatial correlations are important, particularly between the degree of the node and the wealth. We present a detailed study of the correlations, as well as the changes in the Gini coefficient, that measures the inequality, as a function of the type and average degree of the considered networks.     

Reversible Clustering of Gold Nanoparticles under Confinement

A limiting factor of solvent‐induced nanoparticle self‐assembly is the need for constant sample dilution in assembly/disassembly cycles. Changes in the nanoparticle concentration alter the kinetics of the subsequent assembly process, limiting optical signal recovery. Herein, we show that upon confining hydrophobic nanoparticles in permeable silica nanocapsules, the number of nanoparticles participating in cyclic aggregation remains constant despite bulk changes in solution, leading to highly reproducible plasmon band shifts at different solvent compositions.     

On the definition of the excess permittivity of a fluid mixture

It is shown that under the assumption of no intermolecular interaction, the permittivity of a homogeneous linear and isotropic fluid mixture is the sum of the individual permittivities weighted with the mole fractions of the components. For definiteness, a proof is given for gasses under standard temperature and pressure; it is, however, easy to generalize it to other conditions, as well as to liquids, as long as the assumption of no intermolecular interaction is retained. Also, although the proof is given for a binary mixture, it is a simple exercise to extend it to any multicomponent mixture.     

Two-dimensional hybrid germanium zeotype formed by selective coordination of the trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane isomer to the ge atom: heterogeneous acid-base bifunctional catalyst

[C 6H 10(NH 2) 2Ge 3O 6] ICMM9 is a two-dimensional germanate in which the metallic atoms are covalently bonded to chelating diamines. Its layered structure having some similitude with that of the pyroxene mineral, presents a totally new topology with two 4-c nodes. The solvothermal synthesis reaction allows the separation in situ of the two 1,2-diaminocyclohexane isomers by selective coordination of the trans isomer to octahedral Ge atoms of the ICMM9 framework. This material behaves as an active and selective heterogeneous acid-base bifunctional catalyst.     

Synthesis of Ir Catalysts Featuring Amide-functionalized NHC Ligands and Survey of their Activity on Formic Acid Dehydrogenation

2 a and 2 b , [Ir(CI)(COD)(NHC)] (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene), have been prepared via transmetallation from NHC−Ag complexes. [Rh(CI)(COD)(NHC)] ( 4 ) was prepared analogously. [Ir({κ-C,N-(NHC-acetamide−1H)}(COD)] ( 3 c ) has been synthesized via transmetallation from the deprotonated NHC−Ag complex. [IrCp*({κ-C,N-(NHC-acetamide−1H)}] ( 5 ) (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), has been obtained analogously. [Ir(CI)(CO)₂(NHC)] ( 6 ) and [Ir({κ-C,N-(NHC-acetamide−1H)}(CO)₂] ( 7 ) have been prepared by carbonylation of 2 b and 3 c , respectively. The catalytic activity of these complexes has been evaluated in the dehydrogenation of formic acid, under solventless conditions, in the presence of water as a cosolvent, and in a 5 : 2 HCOOH/Et₃N mixture, with the best TOF values being obtained in the case of the latter. Stoichiometric experiments suggest COD hydrogenation as the preactivation step.     

Gear transmission dynamics: Effects of index and run out errors

This work describes a non-linear dynamic model for the study of the vibration signals generated by gear transmissions. The developed model considers both the parametric excitations due to the variable compliance of bearings and gears, can handle changes in the transmitted torque and allows the integration of the dynamic equations quickly and accurately. This model has been developed previously by the authors to assess the profile deviations on the dynamic behavior of gear transmissions and its influence on the transmitted torque. It also includes the presence of gear defects as cracks and pitting during the calculation of meshing forces. In this paper, the model has been enhanced in order to include two common defects such as index errors and run out or eccentricity errors. Index errors occur as a result of a non-uniform angular distribution of the tooth profiles along the pitch circle. Run out appears due to the displacement of the geometric center of the gear with respect to the center of rotation of the shaft on which it is mounted. Although both errors are caused by different reasons, sometimes they have been confused because of their similitudes. The procedure for including both kinds of errors in the model is described and simulations under several transmitted torques are presented. The results are assessed and compared focusing the attention on certain transmission parameters and magnitudes as transmission error, load forces in the tooth flanks and demodulation techniques on the resulting vibratory signals.     

Use of enriched <Superscript>74</Superscript>Se and <Superscript>77</Superscript>Se in combination with isotope pattern deconvolution to differentiate and determine endogenous and supplemented selenium in lactating rats

A quantitative methodology has been developed to differentiate between endogenous and supplemented selenium in lactating rats using two enriched selenium isotopes. Lactating rats were fed for 2 weeks with formula milk containing one enriched Se isotope, ⁷⁷Se, as the metabolic tracer. The isotopic composition of selenium in serum and urine samples was then measured by collision cell ICP-MS after the addition of a solution containing another enriched isotope, ⁷⁴Se, as quantitation tracer, before analysis. Isotope pattern deconvolution allowed the transformation of measured Se isotopic abundances into concentrations of natural abundance (endogenous) selenium and enriched ⁷⁷Se (supplemented) present in the samples. The proposed methodology was validated using serum and urine reference materials spiked with both ⁷⁷Se and ⁷⁴Se. The obtained results are discussed in terms of selenium exchange and half-life in lactating rats (11–12 days) and selenium levels in serum in comparison with non-supplemented rats and control rats after maternal feeding.     

Dearomatizing anionic cyclization of N-alkyl-N-benzyl(dinaphthyl)phosphinamides. A facile route to gamma-(amino)dihydronaphthalenylphosphinic acids

The dearomatizing anionic cyclization of N-alkyl-N-benzyldi(n-naphthyl)phosphinamides (n = 1, 2) and subsequent trapping with a series of electrophiles (MeOH, MeI, CF3SO3Me, Me3O+BF4-, AllylBr, and PhCH2Br) have been accomplished. Optimized reaction conditions (base, temperature, reaction time) allow for synthesizing tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[1,2-c][1,2]-azaphosphole 1-oxides 13 and 18 and tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,1-c][1,2]azaphosphole 3-oxides 16 and 27-29 in high yield and diastereoselectivity. Appropriate selection of the base proved to be critical for promoting anionic cyclization of 2-naphthyl derivatives. The dearomatized heterocycles are transformed quantitatively into gamma-(N-alkylamino)phosphinic acids by acid hydrolysis of the P-N linkage. Bioactivity assays on five human tumor cell lines for one of these amino acids revealed growth inhibition factors (GI50) at a micromolar scale. Additionally, evidence for the feasibility of intermolecular nucleophilic dearomatization and sequential nucleophilic attack to both aromatic rings of dinaphthylphosphinamides have been obtained.
