The sonolysis of an aqueous solution of Fe(CO)(5) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate leads to the formation of a stable hydrosol of amorphous Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles. The amorphicity of iron oxide nanoparticles was determined by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The nanoparticles were characterized by elemental analysis, EDX, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and spot test. 相似文献
We study the filling invariants at infinity divk for Hadamard manifolds defined by Brady and Farb [ Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 350(8) (1998), 3393–3405]. Among other results, we give a positive answer to the question they posed: whether these invariants
can be used to detect the rank of a symmetric space of noncompact type. 相似文献
Simultaneous visual observation and monitoring of the ultrasonic signals show that acoustic emission (AE) produced as Pb5Ge3O11c-plate crystals undergo the ferroelectric hysteresis cycle results from domain wall nucleation and collapse. AE activity takes place predominantly at applied electric fields large enough to bring a crystal substantially towards its saturation polarisation. A notable feature observed in Pb5Ge3O11 and Pb5?xBaxGe3O11 alloys is the existence of an abrupt threshold electric field, denoted by E∞ in the high gain limit, for production of AE: as the electric field is increased beyond the threshold value, the amount of AE observed increases by several orders of magnitude. E∞ depends linearly on the inverse of the c-plate sample thickness (1/d) and also upon sample temperature—falling to a minimum at about 70°C for Pb5Ge3O11 and then rising steeply as the Curie temperature (178°C) is approached. E∞ is also dependent on the rate of change of the applied electric field and as this is increased extrapolates to the high frequency limit of the coercive field. Measurements of crystal polarisation indicate a one-to-one correspondence between AE and the electrical Barkhausen pulses which occur during polarisation reversal—further evidence for domain nucleation and collapse as the source of AE. Optical and AE studies made simultaneously on gadolinium molybdate add confirmation that these particular processes are responsible for the AE produced by ferroelectric crystals. 相似文献
Guanine is determined at the 5.0×10–10 –2.0×10–7 mol/l level by differential-pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode using the reduction peak of its copper (II) complex at –0.21 V vs. Ag-AgCl electrode. The optimum analytical conditions were found to be Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH 4.8), an accumulation potential of 0.0 V and an accumulation time of 3 min. Under these conditions, the detection limit is 5.0×10–10 mol/l and the relative standard deviation 2.6% for 1.0×10–7 mol/l guanine. The method is compared with the previous voltammetric methods. The presence of some purine derivatives does not interfere. 相似文献
The use of decatungstate in combination with silanes to generate silyl radicals under green fluorescence bulb irradiation as well as sunlight exposure is described. The mechanisms are investigated by ESR and laser flash photolysis experiments. The high potential of this reaction is evidenced here when using a decatungstate/silane/diphenyl iodonium salt combination as an initiating system for the ring opening photopolymerization of epoxides.
This paper presents new dynamical behavior, i.e., the coexistence of 2N domains of attraction of N-dimensional nonautonomous neural networks with time-varying delays. By imposing some new assumptions on activation functions and system parameters, we construct 2N invariant basins for neural system and derive some criteria on the boundedness and exponential attractivity for each invariant basin. Particularly, when neural system degenerates into periodic case, we not only attain the coexistence of 2N periodic orbits in bounded invariant basins but also give their domains of attraction. Moreover, our results are suitable for autonomous neural systems. Our new results improve and generalize former ones. Finally, computer simulation is performed to illustrate the feasibility of our results. 相似文献
Cyclic [n]paraphenyleneacetylenes ([n]CPPAs) are potentially useful compounds for molecular electronics. In this article, a homodesmotic reaction scheme coupled with density functional theory has been used to estimate theoretically strain energies and heats of formation of [n]CPPAs. Calculations have been done for a series of [n]CPPAs, containing up to ten phenylacetylene units. Strain energies of [n]CPPAs decrease, while heats of formation increase steadily with the increase in the number of phenylacetylene units using homodesmotic reaction schemes. B3LYP and mPW1PW91 functionals have been used with the Pople basis set 6-31G* to analyze the trends. The results are sensitive to the scheme of homodesmotic reaction chosen, thereby necessitating careful chemical consideration before spending considerable computational resources for higher [n]CPPAs not considered here. Computational estimates for the ring diameter of [n]CPPAs and absolute entropy have also been obtained here. The HOMO-LUMO gaps of the belt shaped [n]CPPAs show an odd–even difference. In addition, the HOMOs of the [3]CPPA, [5]CPPA, [7]CPPA and [9]CPPA are doubly degenerate. 相似文献
Considerable changes were observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern of ammonium zinc chloride after doping with Sr2+ in different concentrations and after irradiating with γ rays at different doses. The effect of γ-radiation and Sr2+ content on optical parameters of (NH4)2ZnCl4: x Sr2+ single crystals (x?=?0.00, 0.020, 0.039, 0.087 or 0.144?wt.%) has been investigated. The transmittance near the absorption edge of unirradiated crystals and crystals irradiated with different γ-doses has been measured, hence the absorption coefficient (α) was calculated. The values of α at room temperature increased under the influence of γ-irradiation. The rate by which α increases with photon energy just before the absorption edge is strongly inhibited by higher γ-doses. The type of intraband transition in (NH4)2ZnCl4: x Sr2+ single crystals was found to be of the allowed indirect transition, and γ-irradiation had no effect on the type of transition. The values of the optical energy gap (Eg) were calculated as a function of γ-dose. The effect of γ-irradiation was found to be more pronounced on samples doped with x?=?0.087 or 0.144?wt.% Sr2+. The results can be discussed on the basis of γ-irradiation-induced defects and Sr2+ concentration. A diagram representing probable transitions to the created bands due to irradiation could be constructed. 相似文献
This study evaluates the effects of gamma radiation on structure, electrochemical corrosion behavior and Vickers hardness of commercial dental Nikkeli–Kromi–Polttosekoitus [Ni65.2Cr22.5Mo9.5X2.8 (X=Nb, Si, Fe and Mn)] alloy. The corrosion rate of Ni65.2Cr22.5Mo9.5X2.8 (X=Nb, Si, Fe and Mn) alloy with 0.5 M HCl is increased with increasing the exposure rate of gamma radiation. The corrosion resistance of Ni65.2Cr22.5Mo9.5X2.8 (X=Nb, Si, Fe and Mn) is varied and reaches a minimum value at 30 KGy. The corrosion potential value also is varied and reaches its highest value at 30 KGy. The Vickers hardness value of Ni65.2Cr22.5Mo9.5X2.8 (X=Nb, Si, Fe and Mn) alloy is decreased by increasing the gamma radiation dose. Also it is obvious from our results that the effects of gamma radiation at the surface are much higher as compared with deeper parts and the structure of the alloy is changed due to its exposure to gamma radiation. 相似文献
