Strontium barium niobate thin films were prepared by sol-gel method on various substrates using an improved process, two-step heating process. The two-step heating process applies an additive heat-treatment before crystallization for enhancement of the densification and the nucleation of films. Also, highly c-axis oriented SBN thin films with various compositions were obtained on MgO(100) and Pt(100)/MgO(100) substrates. Their optical and electrical properties such as optical propagation loss, refractive index, P-E hysteresis, and dielectric constant, were characterized as a function of the film composition. 相似文献
The magnetoelectric properties of a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite BiFe0.7Mn0.3O3 are reported. An anomaly in the dielectric constant, related to enhanced thermal fluctuations around the antiferromagnetic transition, was induced near room temperature by the substitution of Mn for Fe in BiFeO3. This substitution also brings about non-trivial magnetocapacitance effects at room temperature. 相似文献
It is a classical result that the number of primes ? for which τ(?) vanishes has Dirichlet density 0, where τ(?) is the Ramanujan τ function. We study an analogous question that arises in studying the Λ-adic representation whose image is full. In particular, we show that the set of primes ? for which the trace of the Frobenius at ? has positive μ-invariant has Dirichlet density 0. We also discuss the analogous Dirichlet densities related to λ-invariants. 相似文献
In this study, a Pd catalyst was prepared with promoters such as CeO2, BaO and SrO in a washcoated form on a metallic monolith for autothermal reforming of methane to syngas for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. A reactor was installed with an electric heater in the form of the metallic monolith as a start-up device instead of a burner with which stable and fast start-ups (within 4 min) were achieved. Gas hourly space velocity and O2/CH4 governed, methane conversion, while H2O/CH4 controlled H2/CO ratio. A methane conversion of approx. 96%, H2+CO selectivity of approx. 85%, and H2/CO of approx. 2.6 were obtained under the conditions of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) at 103000 h?1, O2/CH4=0.7 and H2O/CH4=0.35. 相似文献
A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assay was developed and validated for the quantification of lurasidone, an atypical antipsychotic drug, in rat plasma, bile, and urine. Rat plasma, bile, or urine samples were processed by liquid–liquid extraction and injected onto an LC-MS system for the quantification of lurasidone and ziprasidone (an internal standard). Lurasidone and ziprasidone were separated from endogenous substances using a Gemini C6-Phenyl column with mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1 % formic acid (80:20, v/v) as the mobile phase. Quantification was performed using the selected ion monitoring mode at m/z 493 for lurasidone and m/z 413 for the IS. The detector response was specific and linear for lurasidone in the concentration range 5–5,000 ng mL−1 The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision of the method were determined to be within the acceptable criteria for assay validation guidelines. In addition, lurasidone was stable under a variety of processing and handling conditions. Lurasidone concentrations could be readily measured in rat plasma, bile, and urine samples up to 24 h after an intravenous or oral administration, suggesting that the assay can be used in pharmacokinetic studies of lurasidone in rats.
In this study, five microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) grades were physically characterized and their extrusion-spheronization behaviours were characterized in terms of water requirements and pellet shape profiles. It was found that the MCC grades differed significantly in the physical properties investigated. Physical properties of MCC were found to influence the water requirement for extrusion-spheronization. MCC grades of higher bulk densities, lower porosities and water retentive capacities required less water to produce pellets of equivalent size. These MCC grades were also found to produce pellets of lower sphericity and wider shape distributions. Packing of MCC particles within the agglomerate played a role in determining amount of water retention and pellet rounding during spheronization. However, there was a limit to the influence of packing density on the rate of pellet rounding because poor packing resulted in higher water retentive capacity, which also limited the rate of rounding. 相似文献
