过冷度对液体冷媒除霜的影响

在结霜质量为3kg的条件下,分别测量了库温为-5℃、-15℃和-20℃时液体冷媒除霜系统的过冷度的变化曲线;并且理论计算了有无过冷度时,系统制冷量的变化。实验表明,制冷剂得到过冷度最大的时刻是除霜开始,最小是除霜结束。过冷度带来的系统制冷量的增加,随蒸发温度的降低而增大。理论计算表明,当库温为-20℃时制冷量增加了43%,库温为0℃时制冷量增加了30%。因此,虽然除霜过程蒸发面积减半,制冷系统仍能输出较大的制冷量,减小库温波动。

三水合醋酸钠是一种具有较高的储能密度和热导率的储热相变材料,但是在凝固过程中的过冷和相分离现象限制了它的应用,需要寻求有效的成核剂和增稠剂来克服过冷和相分离的问题。本文实验分析了几种纳米材料（AIN、Si₃N₄、ZrB₂、SiO₂、BC₄、SiB₆）的成核效果,结果表明质量分数5%或4%的Si₃N₄、10%ZrB₂、5%AlN在自然分散下就能够消除三水合醋酸钠过冷度,质量分数2%的SiO₂在熔化的三水合醋酸钠中经磁力搅拌和超声分散后能够消除其过冷度。结合纳米材料的粒度分析结果,表明粒度分布在几十纳米到300纳米左右的纳米材料有较好的成核效果。     

Effect of Ni doping on the structural and magnetic properties of FePt nanoparticles

A serial of FePtNi nanoparticles were investigated on their crystal structure and magnetic properties. The FePtNi nanoparticles were synthesized simultaneously by the reduction of iron (III) acetylacetonate, platinum (II) acetylacetonate and nickel (II) acetylacetonate with 1,2-hexadecanediol as the reducing agent. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the addition of 8, 12, 17 at% Ni in FePt nanoparticles suppressed the transformation of the particles from disorder face-centered cubic to order face-centered tetragonal L1₀-phase under annealing treatment. However, further increasing Ni contents to 21 at%, the nanoparticle transformed to L1₂ phase. Doping of Ni into the FePt compound system may decrease coercivity and crystal anisotropy energy. A maximum coercivity of 7 KOe at room temperature was obtained for (Fe₅₂Pt₄₈)₉₂Ni₈ nanoparticles after annealing at 600 °C for 30 min.     

Thermoelectric properties of pressed bismuth nanoparticles

Theory predicts a substantial increase in the dimensionless figure of merit as the dimensionality and characteristic size of a material are decreased. We explore the use of bismuth nanoparticles pressed into pellets as potential increased efficiency thermoelectric materials. The figure of merit of these pellets is determined by independently measuring the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. The results from the nanoparticle sample are compared to microparticle-based samples. Both sample types show a slight reduction in thermal conductivity relative to bulk bismuth and a Seebeck coefficient near or slightly larger in magnitude than bulk bismuth. These changes are dwarfed by a hundred-fold decrease in the electrical conductivity due to porosity and an oxide layer on the particles. The low conductivity leads to figures of merit at least two orders of magnitude smaller than bulk bismuth. Oxide layer removal and reduced pellet porosity will be required to increase the figure of merit.     

Effect of unfolding on the thickness of the hydration layer of a protein

Properties of water in the hydration layer around a protein is intimately correlated with its function. A knowledge of the thickness of the hydration layer is important to understand its role in guiding the folding-unfolding of the protein. We have performed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the folded native and a partially unfolded molten globule structure of the villin headpiece subdomain or HP-36 in aqueous solution to estimate the effect of unfolding on the thickness of hydration layer around different segments of the protein. In particular, several dynamic properties of water around different segments of the folded native and the unfolded structure have been calculated by varying the thickness of the hydration layers. It is found that unfolding of a segment of the protein is correlated with the dynamics of water around it, i.e., within the first hydration layer. The effect of unfolding on water properties has been found to diminish when water molecules present beyond the first hydration layer were included in the calculations.      

Raman properties of silicon nanoparticles

The Raman spectra of silicon nanoparticles in the size range between d=3.5– have been studied experimentally. Scattering processes up to second order are being observed. The experimental results are analyzed in the framework of the phonon confinement model. While this model describes qualitatively the observations for first-order scattering processes, it is not applicable for scattering processes of higher order. From the analysis of second-order scattering, we determine a redshift of the TO phonon at the X and L points.     

Preparation and optical properties of ZnO@PPEGMA nanoparticles

The poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether monomethacrylate) (PPEGMA) grafted zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were successfully prepared via the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerizations (ATRP) from the surfaces functionalized ZnO nanoparticles. The 2-bromoisobutyrate (BIB) was immobilized onto the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles through the reaction between 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) and the hydroxyl groups on nanoparticles, serving as the initiator to induce the ATRP of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA). Well-defined polymer chains were grown from the surfaces to yield hybrid nanoparticles comprised of ZnO cores and PPEGMA polymer shells having multifunctional end groups. The structure and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The optical properties of the nanoparticles were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The results showed that the dispersion and near-band edge (NBE) emission of ZnO nanoparticles could be improved by the grafted PPEGMA polymer segments.     

Optical properties of citrate-stabilized CdS nanoparticles

Citrate-stabilized CdS nanoparticles of size 4 nm are obtained by varying the sulfide:citrate ion concentration in a simple aqueous synthesis method. The optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of the nanoparticles are studied. The size of the crystallites is found to be less affected by sulfide:citrate ratio. At lower concentrations of S²⁻, trap state emission is favoured and at higher concentrations excitonic transition is predominant as shown by optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra. Effective surface capping and optimum concentration of S²⁻ leads to the quenching of surface-defect-related emission. Increase in citrate ion concentration is found to increase the intensity of photoluminescence band arising from trap state emission revealing the role of sulfide:citrate ratio on surface modification of CdS nanocrystals. The nanoparticles are hexagonal as shown by the X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction pattern.
