X-ray spectra induced by slow highly charged Ar q + ions in collision with Nb surface

The X-ray spectra of Nb surface induced by Ar ^q+ (q = 16,17) ions with the energy range from 10 to 20 keV/q were studied by the optical spectrum technology. The experimental results indicate that the multi-electron excitation occurred as a highly charged Ar¹⁶⁺ ion was neutralized below the metal surface. The K shell electron of Ar¹⁶⁺ was excited and then de-excited cascadly to emit K X-ray. The intensity of the X-ray emitted from K shell of the hollow Ar atom decreased with the increase of projectile kinetic energy. The intensity of the X-ray emitted from L shell of the target atom Nb increased with the increase of projectile kinetic energy. The X-ray yield of Ar¹⁷⁺ is three magnitude orders larger than that of Ar¹⁶⁺. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos.10774149 and 10405025)     

Rheological Characterization of Poly(3,3′-Diaminodiphenylsulfone Terephthaloylchloride) Solutions in Dimethylsulfoxide

Steadyshear and oscillatory shear rheological measurements were performed to characterize the solution rheological behavior of poly(3,3′-diaminodiphenylsulfone terephthaloylchloride) (P(3,3′-DDS-TPC)) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The effects of temperature, concentration, and weight-average molar mass () on the rheological properties were investigated. From the temperature dependence of zero-shear viscosity, the flow activation energies, E_η, of P(3,3′-DDS-TPC)/DMSO solutions were calculated. Both the overlap concentration, C*, and the entanglement concentration, C_e, were determined from the concentration dependence of the specific viscosity η_sp. All the P(3,3′-DDS-TPC) solutions, we studied, can be separated into three regimes: the dilute, semidilute-unentangled, and entangled regime with slopes of 1, 1.3, and 3.9, of concentration versus η_sp plots, respectively, which are consistent with scaling predictions for flexible polymers in a good solvent.     

Zirconium-doped hybrid films patterned by soft lithography for distributed-feedback lasers

Zirconium (Zr)-doped hybrid films containing Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) were prepared by spin-coating on glass substrates with different Zr–Si molar ratio. Second-order distributed-feedback (DFB) resonators with large surface-relief modulation depth over 160 nm could be fabricated by soft lithographic technique using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica. Optically pumped by a pulsed frequency-doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, the emission wavelength of the DFB-lasers can be tuned over 16 nm by changing the grating period. With the optimization of the Zr–Si molar ratio, low laser threshold of 3 μJ/mm² was obtained.     

Combined prostate diffusion tensor imaging and dynamic contrast enhanced MRI at 3T — quantitative correlation with biopsy

The purpose of this work was to compare diagnostic accuracy of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) and their combination in diagnosing prostate cancer. Twenty-five patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer underwent MRI, prior to transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies. MRI data were correlated to biopsy results. Logistic regression models were constructed for the DTI parameters, DCE MRI parameters, and their combination. The areas under the receiver operator characteristic curves (AUC) were compared between the models. The nonparametric Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for statistical analysis. The sensitivity and specificity values were respectively 81% (74–87%) and 85% (79–90%) for DTI and 63% (55–70%) and 90% (85–94%) for DCE. The combination “DTI or DCE MRI” had 100% (97–100%) sensitivity and 77% (69–83%) specificity, while “DTI and DCE MRI” had 44% (37–52%) sensitivity and 98% (94–100%) specificity. The AUC for DTI+DCE parameters was significantly higher than that for either DTI (0.96 vs. 0.92, P=.0143) or DCE MRI parameters (0.96 vs. 0.87, P=.00187) alone. In conclusion, the combination of DTI and DCE MRI has significantly better accuracy in prostate cancer diagnosis than either technique alone.     

Theoretical studies on the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in parabolic quantum dots in the presence of electric and magnetic fields

The optical absorption coefficients and the changes in the refractive index in GaAs/AlGaAs parabolic quantum dots(QDs) with applied electric and magnetic fields are studied in detail. Analytical expressions for the linear and nonlinear intersubband absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are obtained by using a compact density matrix approach and an iterative procedure. Finally, the calculated results show the incident optical intensity, the frequencies of the confined potential of the QDs and the applied electric and magnetic fields have a great influence on the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in this system.     

Centrally controlled quantum teleportation

Through designing a quantum communication network, we propose a protocol for the teleportation between multiple senders and multiple receivers via only one controller. In order to rationally employ the quantum entanglement resources, the controller shares the entangled state with every sender, while there is no directly shared entanglement link between sender and receiver. The security is analyzed in detail. Moreover, this protocol reduces the classical communication cost in the public channel by means of the coding.     

Quantitative correlation between (1)H MRS and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of human breast cancer

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H MRS) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide functional information, including vascular volume, vascular permeability and choline (Cho) metabolism. In this study, we applied these two imaging modalities to quantitatively characterize 36 malignant breast lesions in 32 patients and analyzed the correlation between them. Cho concentration was quantified by single-voxel ¹H MRS using water as an internal reference. The measured Cho levels ranged from 0.32 to 10.47 mmol/kg, consistent with previously reported values. In 25 mass-type lesions, the Cho concentration was significantly correlated with tumor size (r=.69, P<.0002). In addition, the Cho level was found to be significantly higher in lesions presenting as mass-type lesions compared to non-mass-type diffuse enhancements (P=.035). The enhancement kinetics from tissues covered within each MRS voxel were measured and analyzed with a two-compartmental model to obtain pharmacokinetic parameters K^trans and k_ep. A significant correlation was found between the Cho level and the pharmacokinetic parameter k_ep (r=.62, P<.0001), indicating that tissues with a high Cho level have higher wash-out rates in DCE MRI. The results suggest a correlation between Cho metabolism and angiogenesis activity, which might be explained by the association of Cho with cell replication and angiogenesis required to support tumor growth.     

层状钙钛矿La1.3Sr1.7Mn2-xCuxO7的磁性及电特性

通过固相反应烧结法成功制备了层状钙钛矿La1.3Sr1.7Mn2-xCuxO7多晶,主要研究了其磁电特性.结果表明,样品为Sr3Ti2O7型钙钛矿结构.随着温度的降低,其磁性经历了一个很复杂的转变过程.当x=0时,在T*=231 K出现二维短程铁磁有序,在Tc=114 K出现三维长程铁磁有序,在TN=56 K出现倾斜的反铁磁转变.当x=0.05时,Cu替代使得T*,Tc和TN减小.其电特性表明,La1.3Sr1.7Mn2-xCuxO7多晶呈现出双峰现象,这是由于钙钛矿结构锰氧化物共生现象造成的.虽然5%Cu替代,降低了金属一绝缘体转变温度,但是却增强了磁电阻效应.
