THERMODYNAMIC AND PARTICLE-DYNAMIC STUDIES ON SYNTHESIS OF SILICA NANOPARTICLES USING MICROWAVE-INDUCED PLASMA CVD

1. Introduction1.1 Silica nanoparticles and synthesis methods Silica (SiO2) nanoparticles are widely used in industry asan active filler for polymer reinforcement, a rheologicaladditive in fluids, a free flow agent in powders, and anagent for chemical mechanical polishing during IC (inte-grated circuit) fabrication (Sniegowski & de Boer, 2000).Silica powder is also used for producing silicon carbide(Koc & Cattamanchi, 1998) or opaque silica aerosols (Leeet al., 1995). Many methods can …     

Sm~(3+),Sr~(2+)共掺杂对CeO_2基电解质性能影响的密度泛函理论+U计算

Sm~(3+),Sr~(2+)共掺杂CeO_2的离子电导率被证实可高达Sm~(3+)掺杂CeO_2离子电导率的近两倍,然而,共掺杂对CeO_2电导率的作用机理尚不明确.本文利用第一性原理计算的密度泛函理论+U方法,对Sm~(3+)和Sr~(2+)共掺杂的CeO_2进行了系统的研究,对比Sm~(3+)或Sr~(2+)单掺杂的CeO_2体系,计算并分析了共掺杂体系的电子态密度、能带结构、氧空位形成能以及氧空位迁移能等微观属性.计算结果表明,Sm~(3+),Sr~(2+)的共掺杂对CeO_2基电解质性能的提高具有协同效应,二者的共掺杂不仅能协同抑制CeO_2体系的电子电导率,还能在单掺杂CeO_2的基础上进一步降低氧空位形成能,Sm~(3+)的存在还有助于降低Sr~(2+)对氧空位的俘获作用,而Sr~(2+)的加入则能够在Sm~(3+)掺杂CeO_2的基础上进一步降低最低氧空位迁移能,爬坡式弹性能带方法计算表明共掺杂体系的氧空位迁移能最低可达0.314/0.295 eV,低于Sm~(3+)掺杂CeO_2的最低氧空位迁移能.研究揭示了Sm~(3+),Sr~(2+)共掺杂对CeO_2电导率的协同作用机理,对进一步研发其他高性能的共掺杂电解质材料具有重要的指导意义.     

OFDMA中继系统中基于QoS保证的资源分配算法

研究了 OFDMA 中继下行链路通信系统中的动态资源分配问题,提出了一种可以保证用户最低 QoS 需求的资源分配算法.首先在简化资源优化问题的过程中,采用等功率分配方法以降低算法复杂度,然后通过拉格朗日松弛优化方法推导出了子载波分配和中继选择最优解,并在此基础上引入用户速率权衡因子,根据速率权衡因子越大的用户,越具有选择子载波和中继的优先权这一准则进行子载波分配和中继选择.仿真结果表明:新算法能够获得较高的系统容量,同时也能很好地保证不同用户的最低速率需求.     

Synthesis and gelation behaviors of five new dimeric cholesteryl derivatives

Five new diacid amides of di-cholesteryl L-glycinates were designed and prepared.The compounds with linkers containing 0,1, 2,3,or 4 methylene units are denoted as 1,2,3,4,and 5,respectively.Their gelation behaviors in 25 solvents were tested as novel low-molecular-mass organic gelators(LMOGs).It was shown that the length of the linker connecting the two-cholesteryl residues in a gelator plays a crucial role in the gelation behavior of the compound.1 gels 11 of the 25 solvents tested at a concentration lowe...     

Influence of Solid-liquid Interaction and Temperature on the Dynamic Dewetting of a Thin Polymer Film:A Molecular Dynamics Study

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the dewetting behavior of a polymer thin film on partial wetting solid surface at the early stage of the dewetting process. Spontaneous dewetting is initiated by removing a band of strip from both the ends of the liquid polymer film which has achieved equilibrium. The solid-liquid interaction and temperature were varied to show their influence on the dewetting dynamics during dewetting as well as the shape evolution of the liquid ...
