The effect of the polarization electric field on helix-unwinding in a planar chiral smectic C liquid-crystal cell

The effect of the polarization electric field on helix-unwinding in a thin planar chiral smectic C liquid-crystal cell is studied by using the nematic-like expression for the elastic deformation free-energy density. It is found that the elongation of the helical pitch when the cell thickness decreases is greater when the spontaneous polarization is larger. This is due to the Coulomb repulsion between polarization charges concentrated at ± 2π disclinations.

Assessment of doped ceria as electrolyte

A model describing the performance of a fuel cell based on 10 mol% gadolinia-doped ceria, Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95−x (CG10), was formulated. The total electrical conductivity of CG10 was measured under very reducing conditions in the temperature range of 753 K to 948 K. Oxygen permeation experiments were carried out to measure the leak current through a ceria electrolyte. The results of the measurements are compared with predictions of the formulated model. Furthermore, the response of a fuel cell to changing operating conditions such as external load, temperature, electrode polarization resistances, and defect chemistry is investigated using the model. It is found that the maximum achievable efficiency of a CG10-based fuel cell is increased when (1) the temperature is decreased, when (2) the electrolyte thickness is increased, or when (3) the cathode polarization resistance is decreased. The efficiency can also in certain circumstances be increased by an increase of anode polarization resistance. Finally, the efficiency is reduced if the vacancy formation enthalpy is decreased to the level of fine-grained CG10. The performance of a CG10-based cell is evaluated by comparing it with a state-of-the-art zirconia-based cell. At 873 K, the efficiency of a fuel cell with a 10-μm CG10 electrolyte was limited to 0.74, whereas a cell with a perfect electrolyte would have an efficiency of 1. The power output of the CG10 cell at this efficiency is, however, four times larger than the zirconia-based cell at the same efficiency. This is due to the much lower cathode polarization resistance of -CG10 cathodes on CG10 compared to the (La_0.75Sr_0.25)_0.95MnO₃ cathodes on stabilized zirconia.     

Symmetrical solid oxide fuel cell with strontium ferrite-molybdenum electrodes

The work contains the results of studies of a promising composite material of Sr₂Fe_1.5Mo_0.5O₆ + Ce_0.8Sm_0.2O_1.9 for electrodes of symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells. It is shown that conductivity of the composite at 800°C is about 10 and 15 S/cm, for air and humid hydrogen, respectively, and polarization resistance of the electrodes in contact with the electrolyte based on doped lanthanum gallate under the same conditions is about 0.26 and 0.12 Ohm cm². Tests of a symmetrical fuel cell with a planar design and the supporting gallate electrolyte with the thickness of 300 μm show that the cell can develop the power of about 0.5 W/cm² at 800°C when air is supplied to the cathode and humid hydrogen is supplied to the anode. Analysis of polarization losses shows that the polarization of the oxygen electrode considerably exceeds the polarization of the anode.

Polarization dependence of transition intensities in double resonance experiments: unresolved spin doublets

The polarization dependence of transition intensities in multiple resonance spectroscopic experiments can provide information useful for making rotational assignments. A formalism to describe the polarization dependence of transition intensities in multiple resonance experiments, particularly for cases when two rotational/fine structure quantum numbers are needed to specify the state of the system, is presented. The formalism is presented in a form usable both when the transitions between the underlying fine structure components are experimentally resolved, as well as when they are unresolved, to form composite lines. This sort of treatment is necessary for cases when the two quantum numbers that specify the fine structure differ significantly, such as is the case at low N, when the difference between J and N becomes comparable to the value of J. Ratios of transition intensities in different experimentally convenient polarization arrangements are evaluated for the case of composite N transitions formed by combining the spin components of a doublet system. The formalism is expressed in a form easily extendable to accommodate experimental cases of more than two excitation steps, or a combination of excitation steps and an external static electric field. This polarization diagnostic has been experimentally applied to assign spectral features in double resonance Rydberg spectra of CaF.     

Detection of non‐small cell lung cancer cells based on microfluidic polarization microscopic image analysis

In early diagnosis of lung cancer, a polarization microscopy is a powerful tool to obtain the optical information of biological tissues. In this paper, a new microfluidic polarization imaging and analysis method was proposed for the detection and classification of cancer‐associated fibroblasts and the two kinds of non‐small cell lung cancer cells, A549 and H322. A polarizing microscopy system was constructed based on a commercial microscope to obtain 3*3 Mueller matrix of cells. Based on the Muller matrix decomposition algorithm and analysis in spatial domain and frequency domain, appropriate classification parameters were selected for the characterization of different polarization characteristics of cells. Finally, the logistic regression models based on machine learning were applied to determine optimal feature parameters and classify cells. This method integrated the morphological information of the cells, and the polarization characteristics of the cells in different polarization states. It is for the first time that the polarization microscopic image analysis method has been applied to the detection and classification of non‐small cell lung cancer cells. The results show that the presented microfluidic polarization microscopic image analysis method could classify cells effectively. Compared with the Muller matrix measurement and calculation methods, the method proposed in this paper was greatly simplified in both the acquisition of polarized images and the analysis and processing of polarized images.

Coherent optical transients observed by polarization switching

A transient signal analogous to the optical free induction decay is observed when a laser beam tuned to an absorption line of I₂ is switched from left to right circular polarization. The polarization transient amplitude decays at a rate equal to twice the usual transverse decay rate, and can be detected with sensitivity similar to that achieved in polarization spectroscopy.     

Activation,microstructure, and polarization of solid oxide fuel cell cathodes

Activation effect can be defined as the enhancement of the electrochemical performance or activity of the solid oxide fuel cell cathodes such as Sr-doped LaMnO₃ (LSM) with the polarization/current passage treatment under fuel cell operation conditions. In this paper, the activation effect of the cathodic polarization/current passage on the O₂ reduction reaction of the LSM-based cathodes is reviewed. In addition to the activation effect, cathodic polarization/current passage also has a significant effect on the microstructure of the LSM electrodes and the morphology between the LSM electrode and Y₂O₃-ZrO₂ electrolyte interface. A mechanism involving the incorporation of SrO species into the LSM lattice and the formation of oxygen vacancies is proposed for the activation effect of the polarization.     

Operation of an Oxygen Gas Diffusion Electrode in a Hybride Fuel Cell

The paper is devoted to the operation of a hybride fuel cell (i.e. in the course of simultaneous electrosynthesis of a chemical product), in particular, the polarization characteristic of an oxygen electrode and the ratio of the produced electric energy to the amount of the produced target product. An equation for the dependence of the polarization of an oxygen gas diffusion hydrophobized electrode of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell on the concentration of the produced electroactive soluble product H₂O₂ in an inner-kinetic regime is suggested. It is established that the polarization variation does not depend on its initial magnitude but does depend on the concentration of the target product and the ratio between currents of the side and target reactions. The ratio of the produced electric energy to the amount of the produced target product is found to depend on the concentration of the produced target product, the electrode polarization, and the ratio between exchange currents of the side and target reactions.

Bax Sr1-x TiO3 精细结构的第一性原理研究

In order to study the changing process of Barium strontium titanate (BaxSr1-xTiO3, BST) from cubic phase to the tetragonal phase with Ba doping and the ferroelectric characteristic of BST, the total energy of BST with different mole ratio of Ba/Sr when Ba doped was calculated and the fine structure determined, based on general gradient approximation, by means of ultrasoft pseudopotentials plane wave method. It is demonstrated that in BST, the cell volume expands and the value of c to a increases when Ba doped, which cartributed to the separation of positive and negative ions and self polarization. The tetragonal Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 behaved as ferroelectric when the off center displacement of Ti was up to 8 pm along \001\ direction.
