Determination of anions using monolithic capillary column ion chromatography with end-to-end differential contactless conductometric detectors under resonance approach

An end-to-end differential measurement approach with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) was applied to anion-exchange monolithic capillary column ion chromatography. The column was prepared by thermally initiated radical polymerization of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) in a fused-silica capillary of 320 μm i.d. and modified by quaternary ammonium latex surface coating. Two C(4)Ds were placed near both ends of the capillary column and the output difference between them was measured. With 15 mM potassium hydrogen phthalate used as the eluent, good separation of a mixture of inorganic anions (F(-), Cl(-), NO(2)(-), NO(3)(-)) was achieved. The detection limits of conventional C(4)D are 1.6, 0.28, 0.53, and 0.47 mg L(-1) for F(-), Cl(-), NO(2)(-), and NO(3)(-), respectively. To further enhance the sensitivity, the capacitive impedance from C(4)D was neutralized by an inductive impedance from a piezoelectric resonator. An increase in sensitivity by a factor of 7-8 was achieved in the resonating C(4)D in comparison with the conventional C(4)D. The detection limits of the resonating C(4)D are 0.23, 0.041, 0.065, and 0.059 mg L(-1) for F(-), Cl(-), NO(2)(-), and NO(3)(-), respectively. The response of the resonating C(4)D was analyzed based on an equivalent circuit model.     

Efficient and wide spectrum half-cylindrical hyperlens with symmetrical metallodielectric structure

We propose a half-cylindrical hyperlens with symmetrical metallodielectric structure which consists of five periods of the symmetrical GaP/Ag/GaP films. Such hyperlens can transfer subwavelength information to the output surface (about one wavelength) due to the flat dispersion. Compared with the half-cylindrical hyperlens composed of the resonant Ag/GaP structure, the symmetrical GaP/Ag/GaP metallodielectric structure shows higher transmission and resolution for the propagating waves and evanescent waves, which is also confirmed by the transfer matrix method. In addition, subwavelength imaging can be realized when the incident wavelength varies from 550 nm to 650 nm.     

Experimental study on characteristics of nanosecond-pulse surface dielectric barrier discharge

在常规大气环境条件下,基于单极性纳秒脉冲电源对表面介质阻挡放电特性进行了实验研究.结果表明:纳秒脉冲表而介质阻挡放电的本质是丝状放电,放电集中在电压脉冲的上升沿;激励电压和脉冲重复频率越大,放电越强烈,越接近均匀放电,但电压的作用更侧重于均匀性,而频率的作用则侧重于放电的强度;电极间隙的优化可以使表面介质阻挡放电特性最好;玻璃作为阻挡介质时容易发生沿面闪络.     

全固态高重复频率磁脉冲压缩发生器

设计制作了全固态高重复频率磁脉冲压缩发生器,最高重复频率5 kHz,脉宽70 ns,通过调节初始储能电容上的电压可在500 阻性负载上获得4~40 kV连续可调的输出电压。通过分析简化的磁压缩末级回路,分析了预脉冲产生的过程,得出了预脉冲的电压表达式,选取适当的磁芯相对磁导率,经过求解,得出在磁开关未饱和电感一定时预脉冲随负载阻值变化的曲线簇,从曲线中可以看出:随着负载的阻值的增大,预脉冲的峰值绝对值也增大;在负载恒定的情况下,增大磁开关未饱和电感的大小可以显著地减小负载两端预脉冲的峰值绝对值,这要求磁开关磁芯有更高的相对磁导率。

Solution-processed white organic light-emitting diodes with mixed-host structures

Efficient white light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) were fabricated with a solution-processed single emission layer composed of a molecular and polymeric material mixed-host (MH). The main host used was a blue-emitting molecular material of 4,4′-bis(2,2′-diphenylvinyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (DPVBi) and the assisting host used was a hole-transport-type polymer of poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK). By co-doping 4,4′-bis[2-(4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)vinyl]biphenyl and 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphacene into the MH, the performances of the fabricated devices made with different mixing ratio of host materials were investigated, and were to depend on the mixing ratios. Under the optimal PVK:DPVBi ratio (3:7), we achieved a maximum luminance of 14 110 cd/m² and a maximum current efficiency of 9.5 cd/A. These improvements were attributed to the MH structure, which effectively improved the thermal stability of spin-coated film and enhanced the hole-injection/transporting properties of WOLEDs.     

In-situ TiC particle reinforced Ti–Al matrix composites: Powder preparation by mechanical alloying and Selective Laser Melting behavior

Mechanical alloying of Ti–Al–graphite elemental powder mixture was performed to synthesize nanocomposite powder with Ti(Al) solid solution matrix reinforced by in-situ formed TiC particles. The evolutions in phases, microstructures, and compositions of milled powders with the applied milling times were investigated. It showed that with increasing the milling time, the starting irregularly shaped powder underwent a successive change in its morphology from a flattened shape (10 h) to a highly coarsened spherical one (15 h) and, eventually, to a fine, equiaxed and uniform one (above 25 h). The prepared TiC/Ti(Al) composite powder was nanocrystalline, with the estimated average crystallite size of 12 nm and of 7 nm for Ti(Al) and TiC, respectively. Formation mechanisms behind the microstructural development of powders were elucidated. The Ti(Al) solid solution is formed through a gradual and progressive solution of Al into Ti lattice. The formation of TiC is through an abrupt, exothermic, and self-sustaining reaction between Ti and C elements. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of as-prepared TiC/Ti(Al) composite powder was performed. The TiC particle reinforced TiAl₃ (a major phase) and Ti₃AlC₂ (a minor phase) matrix composite part was obtained after SLM. Although a slight grain growth occurred as relative to as-milled powder, the SLM processed composites still exhibited a refined microstructure.
