Temperature memory effect and its stability revealed via differential scanning calorimetry in ethylene‐vinyl acetate within glass transition range

In this article, we reveal the temperature memory effect (TME) in a commercial thermoplastic polymer, namely ethylene‐vinyl acetate (EVA), within its glass transition range via a series of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) tests. In addition, we investigate the influence of heating holding time and also compare the observed TME in current study with that of shape memory alloys (SMAs). It is concluded that the TME via DSC (without any macroscopic shape change) is achievable within the glass transition range of a polymer. Conversely, although the observed TME shares the many similar features as those in SMAs, due to the nature of micro‐Brownian motion in the glass transition of polymers, the resulted TME is strongly affected by the heating holding time. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

环境友好型纳米生物传感器能够提高传统生物分子传感器的检测性能，在实际应用中具有重要的应用价值。本研究以胆碱氧化酶（ChOx）为模板，在室温（25 ℃）下通过矿化作用制备了一种ChOx功能化的室温磷光（RTP）量子点（QDs）（ChOx RTP QDs）纳米生物传感器，并利用ChOx与氯化胆碱的特异性酶-底物反应和光诱导的电子转移（PIET）实现了对氯化胆碱（Cho）的RTP定量检测。该纳米生物传感器对氯化胆碱检测的线性范围为0.05~20 mmol/L，检出限为0.02 mmol/L。该方法基于QDs的RTP性质，可以有效地避免生物样品背景荧光的干扰，且无需复杂的样品前处理过程，因此该方法较适合于生物样品中氯化胆碱的定量检测。     

High-temperature fluorescence of low- and high concentration aqueous ATP solution

Abstract

The results of an experimental study of luminescence of an aqueous solution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at room temperature are presented. High-temperature fluorescence of low- and high-concentrated solution was experimentally detected and analyzed. The shape of the fluorescence spectrum, the excited state lifetime and the temperature behavior of the emission intensity indicate the formation in the high-concentrated solution of rather stable dimer-like complexes, which can form excimer states.     

NaGd(WO 4)2∶Yb^3+,Ho^3+,Cr^3+微米晶的上转换发光与温度特性

采用水热法制备了NaGd(WO4)2(NGW)∶Yb^3+,Ho^3+,Cr^3+微米晶。研究了Cr^3+离子掺杂浓度对样品的晶体结构、微观形貌、上转换发光及温度传感特性的影响。在980 nm激光激发下,所有样品均发射以546 nm为中心的较弱绿光和以660 nm为中心的强红光,分别对应于Ho^3+离子的5F4,5S2→5I8和5F5→5I8能级跃迁。随Cr^3+离子掺杂量增加,绿光发射峰强度逐渐减弱,而红光发射先增大后减小,在10%时达到最大,样品色坐标逐渐向红色区域偏移。样品的变温光谱表明,NGW∶Yb^3+,Ho^3+,10%Cr^3+微米晶具有很好的温度特性,其测温灵敏度在486 K时达到最大,约为0.0337 K^-1,比NGW∶Yb^3+,Ho^3+的灵敏度提高近1倍。     

Metastable states in high carbon C–(Fe,Ni, Co) films obtained by three-electrode ion-plasma sputtering

Abstract

The effect of ion-plasma deposition on the structure of high-carbon films (at. %) Fe–(20–84) % С, Co–(5–52) % С, Ni–(7–61) % С was investigated. The lattice periods and crystallite sizes of nonequilibrium phases in the as-deposited state and after heating are determined. The temperatures of the beginning and end of the decay of metastable phases during heating at a constant speed are established. The transition from an amorphous to an equilibrium crystalline state in Fe–C films passes through the stage of formation and subsequent decomposition of an intermediate, metastable hcp phase of variable composition. The electrical and hysteretic magnetic properties of the films were measured in the as-deposited state and after heat treatment. The compositions and conditions for producing films with low values of the temperature coefficient of electrical resistance and high coercive force are established. Thus, high-carbon films of Ni–61% C in the as-depoteted state and Fe–69% C films after heating to 900?K are characterized by small TCR values (± 10^?6 К^?1) over a wide temperature range.     

Time-resolved photoluminescence study of excited states in nanostructured melanin

Abstract

Time resolved emission spectra (TRES), 3D maps of photoluminescence excitation-emission (PLE maps), 3D maps of TRES, and kinetics of photoluminescence (PL) spectra of natural and synthetic melanin, as well as melanin composites with surfactant, sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate, have been studied. The kinetics of PL and TRES for the melanin and the composites were investigated at low temperatures that allowed to discuss melanin’s intermolecular complexation, nano-aggregation and formation of charge transfer states. Particularly, the radiation of Frenkel excitons from fragments of different degrees of conjugation that are the parts of molecular nanodisks of melanin is observed. Furthermore, charge transfer excitons (CT-excitons) can be formed and observed at both room and helium temperatures. Some bands in the PL spectra of melanin, depending on temperature, behave like excimer radiation. The studies are aiming to understand the electronic properties of various melanins, particularly natural ones.     

Monte Carlo study of the critical and the compensation behaviors of the double perovskite Sr2CrIrO6

The phase diagrams and magnetic properties of double perovskite $S{r}_{2}CrIr{O}_6$ have been studied by using Monte Carlo simulation based on the heat bath algorithm. The ground-state diagrams of the compound $S{r}_{2}CrIr{O}_6$ have been calculated for different combinations of system parameters. The diagrams obtained are very rich and they give an idea of all the most stable configurations. The effects of the exchange interactions and the crystal field on the phase diagrams and magnetic properties of the system have been examined. A number of interesting phenomena have been observed such as the compensation temperature, the first and second order phase transitions, the critical triple point and the terminal critical point.
