A new series of ion-pair complexes [Mo(dtc)4][Ln(dtc)4] (Ln=La-Er, exp. Pm) were synthesized from MoCl5, LnCl3 and Nadtc in anhydrous methanol. The crystal structures of the four complexes, [Mo(dtc)4][Ln(dtc)4] (Ln=Nd, Sm, Ho and Er) have been determined by X-ray diffraction.

A 100 kHz Narrow-Pulse-Width Mid-Infrared Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on PPMgLN Crystal

We report a narrow pulse width optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled MgO:LiNbO₃ (PPMgLN) with a high repetition rate under quasi-phase matched conditions. When the maximum pumping power of the 1,064-nm laser was 14.57 W, the acousto-optical (A-O) Q-switch repetition rate was 100 kHz, and the PPMgLN crystal grating period was 29.5 μm. A 1,474-nm signal light output power of 4.21 W and a 3,828 nm idler light output power of 1.547 W were obtained, corresponding to a pulse width of 9.52 ns and 9.65 ns, respectively. The overall optical–optical conversion efficiency was 39.5%. Additionally, by changing the temperature from 25°C to 150°C, a tunable signal wavelength of 1,474–1,499 nm and idler wavelength at 3,676–3,828 nm of the output laser were achieved.     

Direct electron transfer of cytochrome C and its electrocatalytic properties on multiwalled carbon nanotubes/ciprofloxacin films

In this study, stable and homogenous thin films of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were obtained on conducting surface using ciprofloxacin (CF, fluoroquinolone antibiotic) as an effective-dispersing agent. Further, MWCNTs/CF film modified electrodes (glassy carbon and indium tin oxide-coated glass electrode) are used successfully to study the direct electrochemistry of proteins. Here, cytochrome C (Cyt-C) was used as a model protein for investigation. A MWCNTs/CF film modified electrode was used as a biocompatible material for immobilization of Cyt-C from a neutral buffer solution (pH 7.2) using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Interestingly, Cyt-C retained its native state on the MWCNTs/CF film. The Cyt-C adsorbed MWCNTs/CF film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis) and CV. SEM images showed the evidence for the adsorption of Cyt-C on the MWCNTs/CF film, and UV–vis spectrum confirmed that Cyt-C was in its native state on MWCNTs/CF film. Using CV, it was found that the electrochemical signal of Cyt-C was highly stable in the neutral buffer solution and its redox peak potential was pH dependent. The formal potential (−0.27 V) and electron transfer rate constant (13 ± 1 s⁻¹) were calculated for Cyt-C on MWCNTs/CF film modified electrode. A potential application of the Cyt-C/MWCNTs/CF electrode as a biosensor to monitor H₂O₂ has been investigated. The steady-state current response increases linearly with H₂O₂ concentration from 2 × 10⁻⁶ to 7.8 × 10⁻⁵ M. The detection limit for determination of H₂O₂ has been found to be 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ M (S/N = 3). Thus, Cyt-C/MWCNTs/CF film modified electrode can be used as a biosensing material for sensor applications.     

Athermal metal-free planar waveguide concave grating demultiplexer

An athermal metal-free planar waveguide concave grating demultiplexer is proposed. We designed the dielectric mirror at the grating facet instead of coating with the metal on the back wall of the grating facet. The transfer-matrix method is introduced to design the dielectric mirror and the reflectance spectral responses of the 2D waveguide structure are simulated using the FDTD software (RSoft, Inc.). To reduce the temperature sensitivity of the device, the three-focal-point method is introduced. We use the design example to show the high-reflectance bandwidth of the dielectric mirror. The fabrication errors are also taken into consideration. By using the numerical model of the scalar diffraction theory, the flat-top spectral responses of the channels are simulated.

Narrow Linewidth Tm:YLF Laser with Volume Bragg Grating Dual-End-Pumped by Equidirectional-Polarization Fiber-Coupled Laser Diode

We demonstrate a narrow linewidth Tm:YLF laser with a volume Bragg grating (VBG) that was pumped by an equidirectional-polarization fiber-coupled laser diode using a dual-end-pumping configuration. For an optimized output coupler with a radius of curvature of 150 mm and transmission of 15% at a wavelength of 1.91 μm, the maximum output power was 15.6 W for an absorbed pump power of 51.7 W at 1,907.93 nm, and the output had a narrow linewidth of 0.22 nm. This corresponds to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 30.2% and the slope efficiency was 36.7%.     

Novel gold dendritic nanoflowers deposited on titanium nitride for photoelectrochemical cells

This study demonstrates the elaboration of a novel composite comprising gold dendritic nanoflowers (Au DNFs)/titanium nitride (TiN)/silicon (Si); this composite can be used for methanol oxidation reactions in alkaline electrolytes. Cyclic voltammograms showed that a thick (650 nm) Au DNFs/TiN/Si (L-DNFs-TiN) composite had double the oxidation current density of a thick (800 nm) Au DNFs/Si (L-DNFs-Si) composite in the presence of light illumination, whereas the oxidation current density for a thin (250 nm) Au DNFs/Si (S-DNFs-Si) composite and Au nanoparticles could not be determined. Chronoamperometry (CA) testing indicated that the L-DNFs-TiN could absorb light illumination more effectively than the L-DNFs-Si did. These results correspond to the broadband light absorption of TiN. Testing with continuous cyclic on/off light illumination showed a repeatable performance in CA, indicating that the proposed L-DNFs-TiN composite can be applied in photoelectrochemical cells in the future.     

测定植物油酸价国家标准方法引入实验教学的改进与实践*

国家标准中采用冷溶剂指示剂滴定法测定油脂酸价,具有实验仪器简单、试剂易得、操作方便的优点。将国家标准方法转化为探究性实验教学内容,有利于激发学生学习兴趣,提高自主学习能力,但是该方法直接应用在实验教学中存在一定的不足之处,因此进行了相应的改进,包括采用常见的常量滴定管代替微量滴定管,降低滴定剂浓度,利用更安全的环己烷作溶剂,通过临近滴定终点前加入去离子水的方式提高滴定终点的稳定性等。在教学实践中采用以学生为主体,以问题为导向的教学模式,培养学生知识整合和综合应用的能力,促进素质型、创新型人才培养。
