ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE STUDIES OF SINGLE CRYSTAL SODIUM HEXAMOLYBDOCHROMATE (Ⅲ)Cr~(3+)/Na_3(AlMo_6O_(24)H_6)·8H_2O

An X-band EPR study on a Na_3(CrMo_6O_(24)H_6)·8H_2O single crystal diluted by its isomor-phic compound Na_3(AlMo_6O_(24)H_6)·8H_2O at room temperature is reported. Using the least squares-fitting method to simulate the EPR data for principal planes, the Hamiltonian parameterswere obtained. The principal values of the g tensors are g_(ZZ) = 1.904, g_(XX)= 1.973, g_(YY)=1.933. The zero field splitting tensor parameters are D = 0.275 cm~(-1), E = 0.05 cm~(-1). The fielddependence of Cr~(3+) energy levels with field at different angles from the principal axes whenthe field is along the principal planes is calculated based on these experimental parameters.The isofrequency plots of calculated field vs. angle are also shown. They agree well with theexperimental results.     

Analysis of highly resolved x‐ray photoelectron Cr 2p spectra obtained with a Cr2O3 powder sample prepared with adhesive tape

By using modern XPS systems it is possible to obtain spectra with well‐resolved spin orbit, multiplet and field splitting even with powder samples mounted using adhesive tape. Measurement of Cr₂O₃ powder with the latest generation of XPS spectrometers, which are able to analyse non‐conductive powders with ultimate energy resolution, revealed multiplet splitting features and satellite emission in the Cr 2p spectrum. Therefore, peak‐fit analysis of Cr 2p XPS spectra of Cr(III) compounds requires a more appropriate approach and common practice has to be reconsidered. One possible way to analyse this spectrum is proposed, based on the experimental and theoretical work of other authors. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

非自治刚性随机微分方程正则EM分裂方法的收敛性和稳定性

本文研究了数值求解非自治随机微分方程的正则Euler-Maruyama分裂（CEMS）方法,该方程的漂移项系数带有刚性且允许超线性增长,扩散项系数满足全局Lipschitz条件.首先,证明了CEMS方法的强收敛性及收敛速度.其次,证明了在适当条件下CEMS方法是均方稳定的.进一步,利用离散半鞅收敛定理,研究了CEMS方法的几乎必然指数稳定性.结果表明,CEMS方法在漂移系数的刚性部分满足单边Lipschitz条件下可保持几乎必然指数稳定性.最后通过数值实验,检验了CEMS方法的有效性并证实了我们的理论结果.     

几乎各向同性的高维空间分数阶扩散方程的分块快速正则Hermite分裂预处理方法

一类空间分数阶扩散方程经过有限差分离散后所得到的离散线性方程组的系数矩阵是两个对角矩阵与Toeplitz型矩阵的乘积之和.在本文中,对于几乎各向同性的二维或三维空间分数阶扩散方程的离散线性方程组,采用预处理Krylov子空间迭代方法,我们利用其系数矩阵的特殊结构和具体性质构造了一类分块快速正则Hermite分裂预处理子.通过理论分析,我们证明了所对应的预处理矩阵的特征值大部分都聚集于1的附近.数值实验也表明,这类分块快速正则Hermite分裂预处理子可以明显地加快广义极小残量(GMRES)方法和稳定化的双共轭梯度(BiCGSTAB)方法等Krylov子空间迭代方法的收敛速度.     

Convergence of splitting and Newton methods for complementarity problems: An application of some sensitivity results

This paper is concerned with two well-known families of iterative methods for solving the linear and nonlinear complementarity problems. For the linear complementarity problem, we consider the class of matrix splitting methods and establish, under a finiteness assumption on the number of solutions, a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of the sequence of iterates produced. A rate of convergence result for this class of methods is also derived under a stability assumption on the limit solution. For the nonlinear complementarity problem, we establish the convergence of the Newton method under the assumption of a pseudo-regular solution which generalizes Robinson's concept of a strongly regular solution. In both instances, the convergence proofs rely on a common sensitivity result of the linear complementarity problem under perturbation.This work was based on research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant ECS-8717968.     

PHOTOCATALYTIC HYDROGEN EVOLUTION FROM WATER SPLITTING UNDER VISIBLE LIGHT IRRADIATION ON NOVEL PHOTOCATALYST FULLENES-PVP-ZN0.999NI0.001S

Fullerenes (C60/C70) linked up to Ni-doped ZnS through the medium of an amphalic polymer polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to form a new kind of photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution from aqueous Na2S/Na2SO3 solution under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic activities of this novel photocatalyst C60/C70-PVP-Zn0.999Ni0.001S are 3-5 fold higher compared with that of precurse catalyst Zn0.999Ni0.001S. This result could be attributed to Schottky barrier layer built between C60/C70 and Zn0.999Ni0.001S due to the electro-negativity of C60 and characteristic of being used as a multiple electron acceptor. C60 or C60/C70, its moiety, with its low energy first excited singlet state, is a good energy acceptor and in addition readily accepts multiple electrons, making it a potential electron accumulate as we know, which could protect the separation between electrons and holes against combination. This is an important reason for the marked increase of amount of H2 evolution during the photocatalytic process for the composite system C60/C70-PVP-Zn0.999Ni0.001S.

对一个大单轴磁各向异性镍(Ⅱ)配合物中的磁跃迁的直接观察

最近Ruamps和同事发现三角双锥构型的Ni（Ⅱ）配合物[Ni（Me₆tren）Cl]ClO₄（1，Me₆tren=tris（2-（dimethylamino）ethyl）amine）具有大的单轴磁各向异性（J.Am.Chem.Soc.，2013，135：3017-3026）。他们利用HF-EPR研究获得横向零场分裂（ZFS）参数E=1.56（5）cm^-1但未能确定轴向零场分裂参数D。在本工作中，我们利用0~17.5 T和5 K的变磁场远红外光谱（FIRMS）来检测自旋基态S=1中的M_S=±1和M_S=0态之间的磁跃迁。在FIRMS中直接观察到Zeeman分裂态之间的跃迁，得出轴向ZFS参数D=-110.7（3）cm^-1。我们对1的晶体结构进行了Hirshfeld表面分析，揭示了1分子中的阳离子与阴离子之间以及分子之间的相互作用。     

Band splitting in overloaded isocratic elution chromatography I. The experimental evidence

A series of samples of increasing volume (from 0.001 to 4.0 cm3), containing the same constant concentration (40 g/l) of two simple compounds, ethylbenzoate and 4-tert.-butylphenol were injected on a Kromasil-C18 column with methanol-water (62:38. v/v) as the mobile phase. Complex band profiles were observed when the volume of the sample became large enough and strong band interference took place. The analysis of the fractions collected during the elution of the mixed band demonstrates that, for samples larger than 2 cm3, the band of 4-tert.-butylphenol is split into two separate bands, one eluted before and the other eluted after the band of ethylbenzoate. Such a phenomenon has never been observed yet in RPLC, under isocratic elution conditions.
