Preparation and photoelectrochemical performance of PbSe/BaTiO3/TiO2 composite film

By dipping-lifting in sol–gel solution and reducing process, the TiO₂ composite film on the glass plate was first prepared. Then, the PbSe/BaTiO₃/TiO₂ composite film was fabricated by interface reaction with BaTiO₃ and PbSe on the surface of TiO₂ composite film. The characterization results show that the uniform porous TiO₂ film is made up of the anatase crystal, and the PbSe/BaTiO₃/TiO₂ composite film is constructed by doping or depositing BaTiO₃ and PbSe nanoparticles on the surface of TiO₂ film. The photoelectrochemical measurement results indicate that the PbSe/BaTiO₃/TiO₂ composite film has an interesting photoelectrochemical conversion property.     

模板剂缓释法合成分子筛大单晶

在分子筛的合成中,通过使用四咪唑基取代的硼类化合物(四咪唑硼钠)作为模板剂,在溶剂热条件下,成功得到了磷酸铝盐分子筛AlPO₄-11的大单晶。电喷雾质谱、¹⁹F和¹¹B NMR等研究结果表明,在溶剂热条件下四咪唑硼钠起到了缓释剂的作用,其自身经历缓慢分解,持续释放低浓度咪唑分子的过程。由其释放出来的咪唑分子起到事实上的模板作用。因其浓度较低,限制了分子筛结晶过程中晶核形成的数量,从而易于导向分子筛大单晶的生成。通过引入不同种类的四取代硼类化合物作为模板剂,这种分子筛大单晶的合成策略可潜在应用于其它分子筛材料。     

Effect of clustering on attack vulnerability of interdependent scale-free networks

In order to deeply understand the complex interdependent systems, it is of great concern to take clustering coefficient, which is an important feature of many real-world systems, into account. Previous study mainly focused on the impact of clustering on interdependent networks under random attacks, while we extend the study to the case of the more realistic attacking strategy, targeted attack. A system composed of two interdependent scale-free networks with tunable clustering is provided. The effects of coupling strength and coupling preference on attack vulnerability are explored. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that interdependent links between two networks make the entire system much more fragile to attacks. Also, it is found that clustering significantly increases the vulnerability of interdependent scale-free networks. Moreover, for fully coupled network, disassortative coupling is found to be most vulnerable to random attacks, while the random and assortative coupling have little difference. Additionally, enhancing coupling strength can greatly enhance the fragility of interdependent networks against targeted attacks. These results can not only improve the deep understanding of structural complexity of complex systems, but also provide insights into the guidance of designing resilient infrastructures.     

An Extra-Large-Pore Pure Silica Zeolite with 16×8×8-Membered Ring Pore Channels Synthesized using an Aromatic Organic Directing Agent

Extra-large-pore zeolites for processing large molecules have long been sought after by both the academia and industry. However, the synthesis of these materials, particularly extra-large-pore pure silica zeolites, remains a big challenge. Herein we report the synthesis of a new extra-large-pore silica zeolite, designated NUD-6, by using an easily synthesized aromatic organic cation as structure-directing agent. NUD-6 possesses an intersecting 16×8×8-membered ring pore channel system constructed by four-connected (Q⁴) and unusual three-connected (Q³) silicon species. The organic cations in NUD-6 can be removed in nitric acid to yield a porous material with high surface area and pore volume. The synthesis of NUD-6 presents a feasible means to prepare extra-large pore silica zeolites by using assembled aromatic organic cations as structure-directing agents.     

Influence of substrate temperature on surface textured ZnO:Al films etched with NaOH solution

Transparent conducting Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al, AZO) thin films with good optical and electrical characteristics were prepared by direct current pulse magnetron sputtering. Textured surfaces of AZO films were obtained by etching with NaOH solution successfully and the effect of substrate temperature on the surface texture was investigated. The surface is covered with craters after etching with 5% NaOH solution, and the crater diameter decreases gradually as substrate temperature increases. For AZO film deposited at 270, the crater diameters is 0.5-1 μm, which is an effective surface texture for light trapping.     

Using permutations to detect dependence between time series

In this paper, we propose an independence test between two time series which is based on permutations. The proposed test can be carried out by means of different common statistics such as Pearson’s chi-square or the likelihood ratio. We also point out why an exact test is necessary. Simulated and real data (return exchange rates between several currencies) reveal the capacity of this test to detect linear and nonlinear dependences.

Singularly perturbed reaction diffusion equations with time delay

Abstract A class of initial boundary value problems of differential-difference equations for reaction diffusion with a small time delay is considered. Under suitable conditions and by using the stretched variable method, a formal asymptotic solution is constructed. Then, by use of the theory of differential inequalities, the uniform validity of the solution is proved.
