The room temperature structure of perovskite CeAlO3 has been reinvestigated by X-ray powder diffraction. The Rietveld refinement has confirmed the tetragonal symmetry; but revealed a super cell, a=5.32489(6) Å and c=7.58976(10) Å, with the space group I4/mcm. In CeAlO3, the distortion from the ideal cubic perovskite is caused by the cooperative tilting of the AlO6 octahedra around the primitive cubic [001]p-axis. 相似文献
We show that the optomechanical coupling between an optical cavity mode and two movable cavity mirrors is able to entangle
two different macroscopic oscillation modes of the mirrors. This continuous variable entanglement is maintained by the light
bouncing between the mirrors and is robust against thermal noise. In fact, it could be experimentally demonstrated using present
technology.

The influence of the substrate temperature Tsub (20–360°C) and the oxygen pressure P(O2) (5 × 10−3−0.13 Pa) in an evaporation chamber on the structure and phase composition of films prepared through laser sputtering of a vanadium target is investigated by electron diffraction and in situ transmission electron microscopy (with the use of the bend extinction contour technique for determining the bending of the crystal lattice). It is demonstrated that the oxygen content in the films increases with an increase in the oxygen pressure P(O2) at a fixed substrate temperature Tsub and decreases with an increase in the substrate temperature Tsub at a fixed oxygen pressure P(O2). The conditions responsible for the formation and composition of the crystalline (VO0.9) and amorphous (V2O3) phases in the films are determined. It is established that the phase composition of the film depends on the angle of condensation of the vapor-plasma flow. The crystallization of the V2O3 amorphous phase is accompanied by an increase in the density by 9.2%. It is revealed that the V2O3 spherulites growing in the amorphous film have a bent crystal lattice. The bending of the crystal lattice can be as large as ∼42 deg/μm.
A synthetic form of the mineral hewettite was prepared via a new route in aqueous medium, starting either from the crystalline compound Li1.1V3O8, or from its amorphous precursor. The anhydrous, crystalline derivative Ca0.5V3O8 was obtained by heating the synthetic hewettite at 250°C under dynamic vacuum. The diffraction studies show that the 2D structure of Ca0.5V3O8 involves the same V3O8 layers as in the hewettite or in Li1+αV3O8. The stacking of the layers is similar to that in the metahewettite. A structural model is proposed, where the Ca2+ ions occupy octahedral sites in the interlayer space. The electrochemical behavior of Ca0.5V3O8 vs. lithium insertion is presented. It is original and reveals particularly good performances in terms of stability during cycling at C/5 rate. The homologues obtained with Mg or Ba, instead of Ca, are briefly presented. 相似文献
Organometallic compounds Cp2TiCl2, (EtC5H4)2NbCl2, and (PriC5H4)2WCl2 were assessed as additives that control polymer chain growth in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. In the presence of compounds mentioned in amounts comparable with that of the initiator, a uniform process with no gel-effect occured and respective linear increase in the molecular weight of the polymer up to high degrees of the monomer conversion was observed. 相似文献
The {1/2, 0, 1/2} nuclear superstructure in an La0.93Sr0.07MnO3 manganite orthorhombic crystal is revealed using thermal-neutron diffraction. It is demonstrated that this superlattice belongs to the class of distortion-type structures and is directly associated with a 1/16-type ordering of Mn4+ and Mn3+ ions in a collinear ferromagnetic phase of the La0.93Sr0.07MnO3 manganite. 相似文献
The PARRNe facility has been used to produce neutron-rich isotopes 83,84Gaby the ISOL method. Their decay has been studied, and β-γ coincidence and γ-γ coincidence data were collected as a function of time. The first two excited levels in 83Ge and the first excited level in 84Ge have been measured for the first time. 相似文献
This article describes a comprehensive literature review of liquid entrainment in horizontal pipes with vertical-up branches. Deficiencies in the available data and correlations were identified. The Air–water Test Loop for Advanced Thermal–hydraulic Studies (ATLATS) was constructed and entrainment onset and steady-state data were collected for a wide range of flow conditions. Using new insights gained from experimental testing, the authors developed a model for predicting the onset of entrainment and steady-state entrainment rate. Previously published correlations, along with the new model, are compared against all available data. The new model shows very good agreement with the onset data, but is not very good at predicting branch quality at high liquid flow rates. 相似文献
