Thermal effect mechanism of magnetoresistance p-type diamond films

Based on the analysis and the discussion of the influence of thermal ionization energy and various scatterings on magnetoresistance（MR） of p-type diamond films, a revised model of valence band split-off over temperature is put forward, and a corresponding calculation formula is given for the MR of p-type diamond films （Corbino discs）. It is shown that the theoretical calculation that the MR of diamond films changes with temperature is consistent with the experiment. The influence of Fermi energy level on MR of diamond films is discussed. Additionally, the thermal effect mechanism of MR in p-type diamond films is also explored.     

Photoluminescent,liquid‐crystalline,and electrochemical properties of para‐phenylene‐based alternating conjugated copolymers

Novel liquid‐crystalline alternating conjugated copolymers [ P(P(6)CN‐alt‐Cz) and P(P(6)CN‐alt‐MeP) ] with phenylene and carbazolylene or phenylene with methyl substitution onto the main chain have been synthesized through palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions. The influence of the incorporation of carbazolylene and the substituted phenylene into the main chain on the thermal, mesomorphic, and luminescent properties has been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), and cyclic voltammetry. These polymers show highly thermal stability, losing little of their weights when heated to 360 °C. The conjugated copolymers exhibit liquid crystallinity at elevated temperature. The existence of the chromophoric terphenyl core endows the copolymers with high PL and the polymer P(P(6)CN‐alt‐Cz containing carbazolylene unit can emit more pure blue light. All the copolymer films with low band gaps about 2.3–2.4 eV undergo reversible oxidation and reduction processes, significantly lower than the band gap of poly(p‐phenylene). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparative enrichment and separation of astragalosides from Radix Astragali extracts using macroporous resins

The enrichment and separation of astragalosides I–IV (AGs I–IV) were studied on eight macroporous resins in the present study. SA‐3 resin offered the best adsorption and desorption capacities for AGs I–IV than other resins. The models of adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to elucidate the mechanism of adsorption. The pseudo‐second‐order model was the better choice than the pseudo‐first‐order model to describe the adsorption behavior of AGs I–IV onto SA‐3 resin. The equilibrium experimental data were well fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. SA‐3 resin adsorption chromatography tests were carried out to optimize the separation process of AGs I–IV from Radix Astragali extracts. With the optimum parameters for adsorption and desorption, the contents of AGs I–IV were 8.78‐, 11.60‐, 10.52‐ and 11.28‐fold increased with the recovery yields being 65.88, 90.92, 84.25 and 94.17%, respectively. The preparative enrichment and separation of AGs I–IV from Radix Astragali extracts can be easily and effectively achieved by SA‐3 resin adsorption chromatography. The developed methodology can also be referenced for the separation of other active constituents from herbal materials and manufacture of Radix Astragali products.     

Super-resolution reconstruction face recognition based on multi-level FFD registration

Super-resolution (SR) reconstruction is an effective method to solve the problem, that the face image resolution is too low to be recognized in video, but the non-rigid change of deformed face and expression changes greatly affect the accuracy of registration and reconstruction. To solve these problems, a method of multi-level model free form deformation (FFD) elastic registration algorithm based on B spline is proposed. It first use low-resolution FFD grid for global registration, to emphasize the contribution of edge information for registration, we introduce edge registration measure into the sum of squared difference (SSD) criterion. Then divide the global registration image and reference image into a series of corresponding sub-image pairs and calculate the correlation coefficient of each pair; at the same time, we do local registration with high-resolution FFD grid to the small value correlation coefficient sub-image pairs. In the registration process of optimization, the paper uses adaptive step length gradient descent method algorithm based on chaotic variables to improve optimization efficiency. After registration, the algorithm of project onto convex sets (POCS) is used to reconstruct SR face image through several low resolution image sequences, and then recognized these SR face images by support vector machines (SVM) classifier. Experimental results from standard video database and self-built video database show that this method can register and reconstruct face image accurately in the condition of great face deformation and expression change, while the face recognition accuracy is also improved.     

对毛细管电动力学色谱中t0和tmc测定方法的考察

在同系物方法测定胶束迁移速度（ｌ／ｔｍ ｃ ） 的基础上提出了一种同时求算电渗流速率（ｌ／ｔ０） 的ｔ０ 和ｔｍ ｃ 的新方法， 该法在选择同系物标记物较为适当时， 可以得到更为准确的结果。同时可以减少由ｔ０ 测定而带来的误差。 实验结果表明， 采用甲醇等标记物测定电渗流速率时， 由于其在胶束中的溶解使得实测结果较真值偏大，而由此计算得到的ｔｍ ｃ 值偏低。ｔ０ 、ｔｍ ｃ 皆与缓冲液的种类和浓度有关， 这可能是由于缓冲液组成的变化不仅使得离子强度改变， 也使柱管壁和胶束表面的ξ势发生变化所致。同系物标记物的选择对ｔ０ 、ｔｍｃ 测定精度影响的讨论也为实际分析系统ｔ０ 、ｔｍｃ 的测定和分析分离条件的优化选择提供了必要的理论依据。     

The growth of Si/SiGe/Si structures for heterojunction bipolar transistor by gas source molecular beam epitaxy

Three n–p–n Si/SiGe/Si heterostructures with different layer thickness and doping concentration have been grown by a home-made gas source molecular-beam epitaxy (GSMBE) system using phosphine (PH₃) and diborane (B₂H₆) as n-and p-type in situ doping sources, respectively. Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) have been fabricated using these structures and a current gain of 40 at 300 K and 62 at 77 K have been obtained. The influence of thickness and doping concentration of the deposited layers on the current gain of the HBTs is discussed.     

The spin dynamics of the random transverse Ising chain with a double-Gaussian disorder

The dynamical properties of one-dimensional random transverse Ising model （RTIM） with a double-Gaussian disorder is investigated by the recursion method. Based on the first twelve recurrences derived analytically, the spin autocorrelation function （SAF） and associated spectral density at high temperature were obtained numerically. Our results indicate that when the standard deviation σg （or OrB） of the exchange couplings Ji （or the random transverse fields Bi） is small, no long-time tail appears in the SAE The spin system undergoes a crossover from a central-peak behavior to a collectivemode behavior, which is the dynamical characteristics of RTIM with the bimodal disorder. However, when σJ （or σB） is large enough, the system exhibits similar dynamics behaviors to those of the RTIM with the Gaussian disorder, i.e., the system exhibits an enhanced central-peak behavior for large σJ or a disordered behavior for large σB. In this instance, SAFs exhibit a similar long-time tail, i.e., C（t） ~ t ^-2 for large t. Similar properties are obtained when Ji （or Bi） satisfy the double-exponential distribution or the double-uniform distribution. Besides, when both the standard deviations and the mean values of the exchange couplings are small, the effects of the Gaussian random bonds may drive the system undergo two crossovers from a triplet state to a doublet state, and then to a collective-mode state.
