基于冲击光谱测量的氧化铝晶体高压相变诊断技术

氧化铝晶体是一种优良的光学透明窗口材料,更是地球内部的重要组成物质.利用气炮加载结合冲击光谱测量,不仅能够获得其发光特征,并且根据光谱分布特征得到高压结构相变信息.在自主搭建的冲击光谱动态测试平台上,结合多通道辐射高温计以及ICCD瞬态光谱测试技术在40~120 GPa的压力区间,研究了c切向氧化铝晶体的辐射发光效应.在可见光波段400~700 nm区间获得了氧化铝晶体的发光光谱和辐射温度结果,证实了光谱的结构特征和表观温度值与该压力下氧化铝的结构相变存在明显的关联性.     

Setting local rank constraints by orthogonal projections for image resolution analysis: Application to the determination of a low dose pharmaceutical compound

Raman chemical imaging provides chemical and spatial information about pharmaceutical drug product. By using resolution methods on acquired spectra, the objective is to calculate pure spectra and distribution maps of image compounds. With multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares, constraints are used to improve the performance of the resolution and to decrease the ambiguity linked to the final solution. Non negativity and spatial local rank constraints have been identified as the most powerful constraints to be used.     

The Effect of the Spacer of Bis(biurea) Ligands on the Structure of A2L3‐type (A=anion) Phosphate Complexes

By tuning the length and rigidity of the spacer of bis(biurea) ligands L, three structural motifs of the A₂L₃ complexes (A represents anion, here orthophosphate PO₄^3?), namely helicate, mesocate, and mono‐bridged motif, have been assembled by coordination of the ligand to phosphate anion. Crystal structure analysis indicated that in the three complexes, each of the phosphate ions is coordinated by twelve hydrogen bonds from six surrounding urea groups. The anion coordination properties in solution have also been studied. The results further demonstrate the coordination behavior of phosphate ion, which shows strong tendency for coordination saturation and geometrical preference, thus allowing for the assembly of novel anion coordination‐based structures as in transition‐metal complexes.     

基于响应面法的直拉硅单晶生长工艺参数优化方法

在直拉法制备硅单晶的过程中,要得到优质的晶体必须建立合理的温度分布,而单晶炉内热场的分布与工艺参数的设定密切相关.其中以晶体转速、坩埚转速和拉速等三个工艺参数对热场分布的影响尤为显著.为了确定最佳热场分布下晶转、埚转及拉速的设定值,本文采用响应面算法通过方程拟合、回归分析等步骤求解这三个工艺参量与温度梯度之间的最佳函数模型,并在该模型下同时对这三个工艺参量进行优化分析,且通过仿真实验和拉晶实验表明该方法的有效性.     

Immobilizing redox enzymes at mesoporous and nanostructured electrodes

Three key challenges are stimulating intensive research in the development of productive direct electron transfer mode enzyme electrodes: proper enzyme orientation, high enzyme loading, and full retention of enzyme activity. In this review, we summarize some significant advances that have been reported in the last years on the design of mesoporous and nanostructured electrodes as enzyme scaffolds and of innovative methodologies for wiring enzymes to electrodes. Particular attention is given to investigations on physical factors that determine a favorable enzyme immobilization, to provide rational guidelines for the design of productive enzymatic electrodes. Finally, some emerging trends focused on the spatial organization of either single enzymes or enzyme cascades are also briefly addressed.     

Selective Catalytic Isomerization of β-Pinene Oxide to Perillyl Alcohol Enhanced by Protic Tetraimidazolium Nitrate

A series of tetraimidazolium salts with different anions was prepared and applied in the isomerization of β-pinene oxide. After examining the activity of different catalysts, a remarkable enhancement of the selectivity of perillyl alcohol (47 %) was obtained over [PEimi][HNO₃]₄ under mild reaction conditions and using DMSO as the solvent. Furthermore, noncovalent interactions between solvent molecules and the catalyst were found by FT-IR spectroscopy and confirmed by computational chemistry. The homogeneous catalyst showed excellent stability and was reused up to six times without significant loss.     

12β-Acetyloxyperforatin,a New Limonoid from Harrisonia Perforata

A new A, D-seco limonoid, named 12-acetyloxyperforatin (1), along with three known ones, were isolated from the leaves of Harrisonia perforata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including extensive NMR techniques and computational modelling. These compounds showed no inhibitory activity against the 11β-HSD1 enzyme.
