4-乙烯基联吡啶金属配合物的光谱研究

采用水热合成法以4-乙烯基联吡啶（dpe）为有机配体与铜,锌和镉的硫酸盐合成了三种金属有机配合物,利用红外、拉曼、紫外-可见光谱对dpe及合成的配位化合物进行了对比研究,对主要红外和拉曼谱带进行了归属,讨论了配体dpe和配合物的特征谱带与其结构间的关系。红外吸收光谱上,dpe中C—C伸缩和C—N面内弯曲的复合振动,在Cu-dpe,Zn-dpe和Cd-dpe配合物中分别位移到较高的波数处。在拉曼光谱中,对于相应的C—N,CC, C—C和C—H键的振动频率也看到了相同的变化规律。在紫外-可见光谱中,Zn-dpe,Cd-dpe分别只有一个配体本身的跃迁吸收峰,而配合物Cu-dpe由于发生了d—d电子跃迁,产生两个吸收峰,分别归属为配体本身的跃迁吸收谱带和配位体场吸收谱带,可见同一种配体与不同的金属离子合成的配位化合物,由于金属离子核外电子分布的不同,其紫外-可见光谱有很大变化。     

Cluster structure of nanoporous carbon produced from silicon carbide

X-ray diffraction studies of nanoporous carbon synthesized from silicon carbide have been performed. The coordination shell radii and the coordination number in nanoporous carbon have been calculated using the Finback method. It has been shown that, when the coordination shell radii coincide, the distribution of carbon atoms over the coordination shells differs from that of hexagonal graphite. Based on an analysis of the interference functions and the results of the calculation, a model of atomic arrangement in the region of short-range ordering has been constructed. It has been demonstrated that the model cluster consists of seven graphene networks with different curvature radii.     

How bumps on whale flippers delay stall: an aerodynamic model

Wind tunnel experiments have shown that bumps on the leading edge of model humpback whale flippers cause them to "stall" (i.e., lose lift dramatically) more gradually and at a higher angle of attack. Here we develop an aerodynamic model which explains the observed increase in stall angle. The model predicts that as the amplitude of the bumps is increased, the lift curve flattens out, leading to potentially desirable control properties. We find that stall delay is insensitive to the wavelength of the bumps, in accordance with experimental observations.     

Delay time of electron wave packet through a two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructure

In this work, we systematically investigate the group delay time of an electron wave packet through a two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructure. It is shown that the lateral displacement, resulting from the angular spread of the electron wave packet, plays an important role in total delay time. In the propagating case, the group delay time can be negative due to the effect of lateral displacement, and is greatly enhanced by transmission resonances. In the evanescent case, the delay time saturates to a constant in the opaque limit, which is simply the Hartman effect observed for a two-dimensional situation.     

利用电光强度调制器频移特性实现可调延迟

针对光纤通信系统中数据同步处理时对脉冲可调延迟的要求,提出了一种可调延迟器的结构设计方案。对电光强度调制器(EOIM)的光频移特性进行了研究,基于EOIM对各级边带和强度的调制作用,利用EOIM对受激布里渊散射慢光装置中的泵浦光进行强度调节,从而实现延迟量可调。建立了可调延迟的数学模型,通过实验研究分别得出了在一定微波调制功率下EOIM调制深度和直流偏置电压随脉冲延迟量的变化关系。从实验结果中可以看出:在引起失真的主要因素为零的情况下,当直流偏置电压为半波电压的1/2时,脉冲相对群延迟随调制深度的增大逐渐减小;当调制深度为1.39时,脉冲相对群延迟随直流偏置电压的增大逐渐增大,延迟量最大可达到未调制情况下的1.106倍,实现了较大范围的延迟量调节。     

Water characteristics depend on the ionic environment. Thermodynamics and modelisation of the aquo ions

We have characterized the aquo ion in solution by five parameters: the charge q and the corresponding crystallographic radius R_c of the ion with the coordination number N, the radius R_w of the water molecule in the aquo complex and the number H of water molecules in the second hydration shell. A consistent set of these parameters has been derived from literature data. From an analysis of experimental determinations of the cation-oxygen distance and evaluation of electrostriction phenomena, we have concluded that the radius R_w of the water molecule depends on the charge of the central ion and on its crystallographic radius.

The different ion-water interactions and previous models are discussed, and we propose an ionic model and a general relation which gives the free hydration energy, ΔG(hyd), of a monatomic ion with ionic character. It depends on the five fundamental characteristics of the aquo ion and reproduces the experimental data with standard deviation less than 0.3%. In the case of lanthanides, it is shown that the model including average values of the oxygen-cation distance, or different distances, taking into account the local structure of the aquo ion, gives similar thermodynamic data. The proposed model gives also the possibility to deduce properties of the ions such as consistent values of the coordination numbers.     

Electron Transfer Between Molecules: Study with Langevin Equations

In this paper, we investigate the electron transfer （ET） in donor-acceptor model. The Langevin equation with random forces is used. The oscillations of the primary states observed in experimental data have been shown with this approach. And other features on the dependence of the rate of ET on temperature, free energy, and reorganization energy have also been clearly shown.     

IONIZATION POTENTIALS OF NICKEL CLUSTERS

The mean coordination numbers of some nickel clusters have been calculated for some proposed geometric structures for them, and their ionization potentials are obtained using an effective coordination-number model. It is shown that the mean effective-coordination number of all atoms of a cluster should be taken as a parameter to describe the d-band width of the cluster instead of mean effective coordination number of surface atoms.     

Monojets in the standard model

In a previous analysis it was shown that in the standard model the number of events with large missing transverse energy in pp̄ collision can be experimentally important. Now this analysis is refined to confront the sample of monojet events recently reported by the UA1 collaboration. It is shown how an absolutely normalized calculation based on simple parton level cross sections — which gives good agreement with the production cross sections for observed W and Z events — appears to satisfactory describe the monojet sample. The various sources of uncertainty in the calculation are emphasized.     

Oscillatory Critical Amplitudes in Hierarchical Models and the Harris Function of Branching Processes

Oscillatory critical amplitudes have been repeatedly observed in hierarchical models and, in the cases that have been taken into consideration, these oscillations are so small to be hardly detectable. Hierarchical models are tightly related to iteration of maps and, in fact, very similar phenomena have been repeatedly reported in many fields of mathematics, like combinatorial evaluations and discrete branching processes. It is precisely in the context of branching processes with bounded off-spring that T. Harris, in 1948, first set forth the possibility that the logarithm of the moment generating function of the rescaled population size, in the super-critical regime, does not grow near infinity as a power, but it has an oscillatory prefactor (the Harris function). These oscillations have been observed numerically only much later and, while the origin is clearly tied to the discrete character of the iteration, the amplitude size is not so well understood. The purpose of this note is to reconsider the issue for hierarchical models and in what is arguably the most elementary setting—the pinning model—that actually just boils down to iteration of polynomial maps (and, notably, quadratic maps). In this note we show that the oscillatory critical amplitude for pinning models and the Harris function coincide. Moreover we make explicit the link between these oscillatory functions and the geometry of the Julia set of the map, making thus rigorous and quantitative some ideas set forth in Derrida et al. (Commun. Math. Phys. 94:115–132, 1984).     

Spectral estimators in elastography

Like velocity, strain induces a time delay and a time scaling to the received signal. Elastography typically uses time delay techniques to indirectly (i.e. via the displacement estimate) measure tissue strain induced by an applied compression, and considers time scaling as a source of distortion. More recently, we have shown that the time scaling factor can also be spectrally estimated and used as a direct measure of strain. Strain causes a Doppler-like frequency shift and a change in bandwidth of the bandpass power spectrum of the echo signal. Two frequency shift strain estimators are described that have been proven to be more robust but less precise when compared to time delay estimators, both in simulations and experiments. The increased robustness is due to the insensitivity of the spectral techniques to phase decorrelation noise. In this paper we discuss and compare the theoretical and experimental findings obtained with traditional time delay estimators and with the newly proposed spectral methods.     

The Paradox of Time in Dynamic Causal Systems

Recent work has shown that people use temporal information including order, delay, and variability to infer causality between events. In this study, we build on this work by investigating the role of time in dynamic systems, where causes take continuous values and also continually influence their effects. Recent studies of learning in these systems explored short interactions in a setting with rapidly evolving dynamics and modeled people as relying on simpler, resource-limited strategies to grapple with the stream of information. A natural question that arises from such an account is whether interacting with systems that unfold more slowly might reduce the systematic errors that result from these strategies. Paradoxically, we find that slowing the task indeed reduced the frequency of one type of error, albeit at the cost of increasing the overall error rate. To explain these results we posit that human learners analyze continuous dynamics into discrete events and use the observed relationships between events to draw conclusions about causal structure. We formalize this intuition in terms of a novel Causal Event Abstraction model and show that this model indeed captures the observed pattern of errors. We comment on the implications these results have for causal cognition.     

A Novel Implementation Technique of Conical Scan Radar Using A Programmable Phased Array

In radar, planar phased array antenna plays vital role in electronic scanning in the azimuth and elevation direction to the horizon. In most operations using planar phased array both the coordinates of azimuth and elevation, are steered electronically. In this paper a conceptual schematic of a phased array antenna with programmable time delay units has been presented. It is shown that by suitably exploiting the time delay matrix one can have electronic beam rotation around the target axis as required in conical scan. Thus both the elevation and azimuth motors in conical scan system are replaced by electronic scanning. Heuristically, we have selected eight consecutive points for beam rotation in a polygon shape and can also be extended almost circular shape by increasing number of array elements and phase shifter (delays) in the delay matrix. The array requires dual control of phase gradient and individual phase values. The whole array is controlled by micro-controller. This presents exciting possibilities in radar operation.     

Competition between BCS and FFLO States in Magnetic Superconductors in a Cryptoferromagnetic Phase

The possibility of appearance of inhomogeneous superconducting Fulde—Ferrell—Larkin—Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states in magnetic superconductors in a cryptoferromagnetic phase with helical magnetic ordering has been analyzed. The dependence of the critical temperature on the angle between the wave vectors of the spatial modulation of the FFLO state and helical magnetic structure has been calculated within the proposed model. It has been shown that their mutually perpendicular orientation corresponds to the most energetically favorable state. The numerical calculations have also shown the existence of a tricritical point on a line separating the Bardeen—Cooper—Schrieffer and FFLO phases on the phase diagram of states. Furthermore, FFLO states can appear in a magnetic superconductor even at fairly strong exchange fields because of the difference between the effective masses of conduction electrons in different spin subbands and the anisotropy of the Fermi surface.

Initiating a Mexican wave: An instantaneous collective decision with both short- and long-range interactions

An interesting example for collective decision-making is the so-called Mexican wave during which the spectators in a stadium leap to their feet with their arms up and then sit down again following those to their left (right) with a small delay. Here we use a simple, but realistic model to explain how the combination of the local and global interactions of the spectators produces a breaking of the symmetry resulting in the replacement of the symmetric solution—containing two propagating waves—by a single wave moving in one of the two possible directions. Our model is based on and compared to the extensive observations of volunteers filling out the related questionnaire we have posted on the Internet. We find that, as a function of the parameter controlling the strength of the global interactions, the transition to the single-wave solution has features reminiscent of discontinuous transitions. After the spontaneous symmetry breaking the two directions of propagation are still statistically equivalent. We also investigate how this remaining symmetry is broken in real stadia by a small asymmetrical term in the perception of spectators.     

Calculation of the vapour-liquid coexistence curve for a fluctuating point charge water model

Recent studies of the phase behaviour of several polarizable water models have shown that typically the inclusion of polarizability into current non-polarizable, rigid models of water actually decreases the accuracy of their predictions of the liquid-vapour coexistence curve. Most of the polarizable models examined so far have been shown to characteristically over-predict the saturation pressure and correspondingly under-predict the critical temperature. It is the purpose of this Research Note to report the results of a Gibbs—Duhem integration of the liquid—vapour coexistence curve for the TIP4P-FQ water model and to discuss the possible reasons behind the lack of improvement of polarizable water models over their non-polarizable counterparts.     

聚乙烯吡咯烷酮与苯磺酸铕相互作用研究

用变温红外光谱法和荧光光谱法研究了聚乙烯吡咯烷酮与苯磺酸铕的相互作用。聚乙烯吡咯烷酮的酰胺基团可与苯磺酸铕中的铕离子发生络合配位作用,导致聚乙烯吡咯烷酮的酰胺Ⅰ带发生红移。这种络合配位作用,使原本不溶于氯仿的苯磺酸铕可溶于含聚乙烯吡咯烷酮的氯仿溶液。在苯磺酸铕固体的发射光谱中,只能观察到铕离子的f—f跃迁特征发射峰,而在苯磺酸铕浓水溶液的荧光光谱中,亦可观测到苯磺酸根的π*→π跃迁峰,说明苯磺酸铕在水溶液中存在解络合现象。苯磺酸铕在溶液中的解络合行为使铕离子周围的可配位空间增大,这为PVP的酰胺基团与铕离子发生络合配位作用创造了条件。
