MEASUREMENT OF LOW MAGNETIC FIELD DISTRIBUTION OF A β SPECTROMETER

The low magnetic field distribution of an iron-core double-focusing low-energy β spectrometer is measured with a second harmonic magnetic flux gate magnetometer, the relative measuring precision is better than ±0.05%. The field strength of the spectrometer is about 10G. This spectrometer is used to measure the β spectrum from tritium β decay for estimating the rest mass of electron antineutrion.     

Dopant-modulated pair interaction in cuprate superconductors

A comparison of recent experimental STM data with single-impurity and many-impurity Bogoliubov-de Gennes calculations strongly suggests that random out-of-plane dopant atoms in cuprates modulate the pair interaction locally. This type of disorder is crucial to understanding the nanoscale electronic inhomogeneity observed in BSCCO-2212, and can reproduce observed correlations between the positions of impurity atoms and various aspects of the local density of states such as the gap magnitude and the height of the coherence peaks. Our results imply that each dopant atom modulates the pair interaction on a length scale of order one lattice constant.     

Chemisorption of 1,1-dichloroethene on the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface

Chemisorption of 1,1-dichloroethene (Cl₂CCH₂) to a Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface was studied by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, recording chlorine 2p and carbon 1s spectra. For carbon 1s, spectral assignment of the chemisorbed species is based on quantum chemical calculations of chemical shifts in model compounds.The results confirm the identity of covalently bonded 1-chlorovinyl (-CClCH₂) and vinylidene (CCH₂) adspecies. Upon chemisorption at room temperature it was found that about one-third of the molecules break one C-Cl bond while about two-thirds of the adsorbates break two C-Cl bonds. We do not, however, find evidence for isomerization of CCH₂ to di-bonded vinylene (-CHCH-).     

Second-harmonic generation of 405-nm light using periodically poled KTiOPO4 pumped by external-cavity laser diode with double grating feedback

A frequency-doubled laser diode system for generation of blue–UV light is described. The system is based on an external-cavity high-power laser diode with double feedback from the zeroth and the first orders of a diffraction grating. Light at 405 nm is generated in a single-pass configuration using periodically poled KTiOPO₄. We show that the double grating feedback improves the second harmonic conversion efficiency by several orders of magnitude as compared to the freely running laser. The conversion efficiency may be improved further such that higher second-harmonic powers may be generated.     

Partial least squares for discrimination in fMRI data

Multivariate methods for discrimination were used in the comparison of brain activation patterns between groups of cognitively normal women who are at either high or low Alzheimer's disease risk based on family history and apolipoprotein-E4 status. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was preceded by dimension reduction using principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares (PLS) or a new oriented partial least squares (OrPLS) method. The aim was to identify a spatial pattern of functionally connected brain regions that was differentially expressed by the risk groups and yielded optimal classification accuracy. Multivariate dimension reduction is required prior to LDA when the data contain more feature variables than there are observations on individual subjects. Whereas PCA has been commonly used to identify covariance patterns in neuroimaging data, this approach only identifies gross variability and is not capable of distinguishing among-groups from within-groups variability. PLS and OrPLS provide a more focused dimension reduction by incorporating information on class structure and therefore lead to more parsimonious models for discrimination. Performance was evaluated in terms of the cross-validated misclassification rates. The results support the potential of using functional magnetic resonance imaging as an imaging biomarker or diagnostic tool to discriminate individuals with disease or high risk.

为了在常温下鉴定新鲜植物样品的挥发性物质,且避免繁杂前期样品的制备过程,将新鲜样品切细后置入顶空瓶中,用注射器抽取顶空瓶上方的挥发性物质注入用微波法制备的纳米银溶胶中,用R-3000便携式拉曼光谱仪进行SERS的测量。获得了葱属植物大蒜、韭菜、葱的挥发性物质的表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)。大蒜的SERS谱中较强的峰出现在307,399,569,711,1 182,1 287,1 397,1 622 cm-1处。韭菜的SERS谱中最强的峰出现在672 cm-1,较弱的峰出现在274,412,575,1 185,1 289,1 396,1 618 cm-1处。葱的SERS谱中最强的峰出现在693 cm-1,次强峰出现在372,888,1 023 cm-1处,较弱的峰出现在1 088,1 211,1 322 cm-1。获得二烯丙基二硫(diallyl disulfide)、烯丙基甲基硫醚(allylmethyl sulfide)、1-丙硫醇(1-Propanethiol)的液态、气态的SERS谱。经对比研究得出：吸附在银表面的大蒜、韭菜、葱的主要挥发性物质分别是二烯丙基二硫(diallyl disulfide)、烯丙基甲基硫醚(allyl methyl sulfide)、1-丙硫醇(1-Propanethiol)。同是葱属植物但不同种大蒜、韭菜、葱其吸附在银表面的主要的挥发性物质不一样,吸附在银表面的各种葱的主要挥发性物质都是1-丙硫醇。该实验结果表明顶空与SERS结合,不需要复杂的提取过程,可直接用于新鲜植物的挥发性物质快速检测。
