Use of elemental size distributions in identifying particle formation modes

The chemical composition of particles generated during pulverized coal combustion is the consequence of their formation processes. This work aims to use the size resolved elemental composition of coal-derived particles to identify their formation modes. A size-classified bituminous coal is burnt in a laboratory drop tube furnace at 1150, 1250, and 1350 °C, respectively. The elemental composition of the size-segregated particles from coal combustion is analyzed and the total mass fraction size distributions of Si and Al are obtained. Three particle formation modes are observed in these distribution profiles. The coarse mode has the highest value of the total mass fraction of Si and Al while the ultrafine mode has the lowest one. The total mass fraction of Si and Al in these two modes is nearly independent of particle size. It is believed that the coarse mode is formed by the mineral coalescence mechanism and the ultrafine mode by the vaporization–condensation mechanism. The difference in the total mass fraction of Si and Al between the central mode and the other two indicates that the central mode is formed by different mechanisms. Based on the observation that the total mass fraction of Si and Al in this mode increases with increasing particle size, heterogeneous condensation of vaporized species on existing fine residual ash particles is proposed to account for the formation of these particles. The study of the elemental composition of the three modes represented in five categories verifies the proposed formation mechanisms for them to some extent.

减小球差的环带透镜设计

根据光线经过折射面后像距和折射面参数之间的关系,将折射面划分为若干同心圆环,各圆环之间沿光轴有一定的轴向间隔。一束平行于光轴的光线入射后,经过不同部分光线的像点相互重叠从而使球差减小。根据上述思想用单透镜构造一个透镜称为环带透镜,然后以环数为2的透镜为例用CODE V进行像差分析。和双胶合透镜比较得出:环带透镜的球差、波像差以及轴上点的弥散斑优于胶合透镜,同时光学传递函数指标提高,接近衍射极限。     

Study for noise reduction in synchrotron radiation based scanning tunneling microscopy by developing insulator-coat tip

To solve difficulties of instability and inaccuracy in synchrotron radiation based scanning tunneling microscopy, a method to reduce noise was investigated. New insulator-coat tips were developed to shut out electrons coming from a wide area that damage the spatial resolution. By changing the exposed conductive area at the end of the insulator-coat tips, the effect of noise reduction was estimated. The tip with an exposure area of 50 nm in diameter was found to reduce noise effectively. Also a key discriminating condition was found to obtain the local signal, which is based on the modulation of the X-ray-induced tip current caused by excitation of the specific element.

圆锥透镜对偏轴球面波光束的衍射模式

球面波入射圆锥透镜产生的出射光束中心光斑直径较小且焦深长，适合通讯领域长距离测量和准直。针对实际操作中球面波光束入射时很可能与圆锥透镜的中心轴线发生偏移或倾斜，使衍射光场发生变化，着重研究圆锥透镜对偏轴球面波光束的衍射模式，并通过衍射理论和稳相法分析，研究其径向衍射光场的分布特性。使用半径为15mm，底角为1°的圆锥透镜进行计算机仿真和实验，最后将实验结果与理论分析和仿真结果相比较，证明球面波的曲率半径和出射光束的传输距离越小，偏轴对衍射模式的影响越小。该研究结果表明：在激光通讯等长距离通信中，使用曲率半径小的球面波光束代替平面波入射圆锥透镜，不仅可以扩展焦深，还可以降低偏轴对测量的影响。

Autostereoscopic display based on multi-layer lenticular lens

An autostereoscopic display based on a multi-layer lenticular lens was proposed. The autostereoscopic display is composed of a flat panel display and a multi-layer lenticular lens sheet, which includes a traditional single lenticular lens and an additional transparent layer. The focal length of the multi-layer lenticular lens can be changed by choosing the refractive index of the additional transparent layer to adjust the stereoscopic depth, and it is an easier and much more flexible way than changing lenticular lens's curvature radius. A 22-in. 9-view autostereoscopic display prototype was developed. The image crosstalk of the prototype is very small and it has good presentation to several viewers without wearing eyeglasses.     

Quantitative analysis of cement powder by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

Determination of elemental composition of cement powder plays an important role in the cement and construction industries. In the present paper, Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is used for measuring the concentration of cement ingredient. Cement powder samples are pressed into pellets. Laser pulses are focused on the surface of pellets. A microplasma is formed in the front of samples. The plasma emission contains information about the elemental composition of the samples. By assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and using several standard cement samples, a calibration curve is prepared for each element. The major and minor elements of cement such as Ca, Si, K, Mg, Al, Na, Ti, Mn and Sr are qualitatively and quantitatively determined. For verification of LTE conditions, plasma parameters such as plasma electron temperature and electron density are computed. According to the obtained results, the LIBS technique could be a suitable method for determination of elemental composition in the cement production industries.
