Dipolar 1,3‐cycloaddition of arylnitriloxides on 1,2‐dihydroisoquinolines in a two‐phase medium

The 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of arylnitriloxides on 1,2‐dihydroisoquinoline derivatives led to new 3‐aryl, 3a‐8,9,9a‐tetrahydro[5,4‐c]‐isoxazoloisoquinoline adducts. The regioselectivity of the cycloaddition reactions is discussed on the basis of ¹H and ¹³C NMR data.     

Detecting Quantum Dissonance and Discord in Exact Dynamics of qubit Systems

In this paper, we evaluate the quantum and classical correlations in exact dynamics of qubit systems interacting with a common dephasing environment. We show the existence of a sharp transition between the classical and quantum loss of correlations during the time evolution. We show that it is possible to exploit a large class of initial states in different tasks of quantum information and processing without any perturbation of the correlations from the environment noisy for large time intervals. On the other hand, we include the dynamics of a new kind of correlation so-called quantum dissonance, which contains the rest of the nonclassical correlations. We show that the quantum dissonance can be considered as an indicator to expect the behavior of the dynamics of classical and quantum correlations in composite open quantum systems.     

Entanglement for a Two-Level Atomic System Interacting with Two-Mode Spin States

A key element in the architecture of quantum information processing is a reliable physical interface between fields and qubits. Here, we study the population transfer and entanglement for a two-level atomic system interacting with entangled spin coherent states (ESCSs) considering one- and two-mode interactions. The results show that decrease in the spin number provides a periodic behavior of the entanglement exhibiting the sudden death and birth phenomena. For large values of spin, the atom–field system stabilizes at high value of entanglement during the time evolution exhibiting maximum correlations for both cases of one- and two-mode interactions. Finally, we find an interesting correlation between the entanglement and the population transfer during the time evolution. In particular, we show that the population may be used as an indicator of nonlocal correlations in the system under consideration.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and dielectric properties of C6H18N2SbCl5

The result of the X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric studies on a new crystal material C₆H₁₈N₂SbCl₅ is presented. The new organic–inorganic compound has been synthesized and characterized by the X‐ray diffraction method at 296(2) K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group. The cell dimensions are: a = 5.8617(1) Å, b = 15.7069(2) Å, c = 16.6693(2) Å, β = 97.627(1)° and Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of a discrete ionic layer of (C₆H₁₈N₂)²⁺ cations and [SbCl₅]^2? anions linked via simple and bifurcated N―H · · · Cl hydrogen bonds. DSC analysis shows that this compound undergoes a phase transition at about (384 ± 2) K. AC and DC conductivities, complex dielectric permittivity ε*(ω) and complex electrical modulus M*(ω) were respectively studied as temperature and frequency functions. The combined data support each other and confirm the existence of a structural phase transition at about 384 K. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the DC conductivity and relaxation frequency followed the Arrhenius relation. The frequency dependence of the real part of the AC conductivity in both phases follows the Jonscher's universal dynamic law: . The behavior of s(T) with temperature suggests that the hopping over barrier model (CBH) and the small polaron tunneling mechanism (SPTM) prevail in phases I and II, respectively.

Investigations of information quantifiers for the Tavis–Cummings model

In this article, a system of two two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode quantized electromagnetic field in a lossless resonant cavity via a multi-photon transition is considered. The quantum Fisher information, negativity, classical Fisher information, and reduced von Neumann entropy for the two atoms are investigated. We found that the number of photon transitions plays an important role in the dynamics of different information quantifiers in the cases of two symmetric and two asymmetric atoms. Our results show that there is a close relationship between the different quantifiers. Also, the quantum and classical Fisher information can be useful for studying the properties of quantum states which are important in quantum optics and information.     

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering for Mixed Entangled Coherent States

By using the Born Markovian master equation, we study the relationship among the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering, Bell nonlocality, and quantum entanglement of entangled coherent states (ECSs) under decoherence. We illustrate the dynamical behavior of the three types of correlations for various optical field strength regimes. In general, we find that correlation measurements begin at their maximum and decline over time. We find that quantum steering and nonlocality behave similarly in terms of photon number during dynamics. Furthermore, we discover that ECSs with steerability can violate the Bell inequality, and that not every ECS with Bell nonlocality is steerable. In the current work, without the memory stored in the environment, some of the initial states with maximal values of quantum steering, Bell nonlocality, and entanglement can provide a delayed loss of that value during temporal evolution, which is of interest to the current study.     

Entanglement Degree of Finite-Dimensional Pair Coherent States

We study in detail the entanglement degree of finite-dimensional pair coherent states (PCSs) in terms of different parameters involved in the coherent states. Since these states are a type of correlated two-mode states in finite dimension, we use the D concurrence and linear entropy to quantify their amount of entanglement. We show that the maximum entanglement can be obtained for two and threedimensional (finite-dimensional) PCSs, and states with higher dimensions cannot attain this limit. We generalize the discussion to a superposition of two states of this class and give the maximum entangled states for even and odd finite-dimensional PCSs. In addition, we consider the entanglement degree of nonlinear finite-dimensional PCSs and survey the maximality condition. Finally, we discuss the entanglement for a class of mixed states defined as a statistical mixture of two pure finite-dimensional PCSs. Our observations may have important implications in exploiting these states in quantum information theory.     

Comportement Thermique du Polypropylene au Cours du Vieillissement

Several samples of polypropylene were studied by thermal analysis. The photo-oxidation and the aging of polypropylene films showed a mass loss more than 7% in heating from 20 to 220°C (5°C min-1), cooling to 20°C and reheating to 220°C. The authors observed also a decrease of the melting and crystallization temperatures. The non aged samples or these ones with preservatives are thermo-oxidised and presented an exothermic peak at about 200°C in DTA heating. The DTA-TG simultaneous apparatus is very useful in the study of polypropylene oxidation by making comparative trials according to a well definite procedure.

褐铁矿处理水中六价铬

Cr(VI)是土壤和水体中常见的有毒污染物,将Cr(VI)转化为毒性较低的Cr(III)是常用而有效的治理方法.本文采用褐铁矿对水中Cr(VI)进行处理研究,考察了褐铁矿投加量、Cr(VI)初始浓度、pH值、反应温度、铁矿石粒径大小以及添加不同物质等因素对褐铁矿去除效果的影响.结果表明,褐铁矿对Cr(VI)有很好的还原去除效果,Cr(VI)去除效率随褐铁矿用量的增加而增大,随Cr(VI)初始浓度的增加而减小,pH值越低越有利于反应的进行.铁矿石颗粒的直径越小,比表面积越大,也对反应越有利,而温度对Cr(VI)的去除影响不大.100目的褐铁矿颗粒去除Cr(VI)的能力为7.77 mg Cr(VI)/g.使用褐铁矿不仅可以将Cr(VI)还原为Cr(III),还能将Cr(VI)彻底从水中去除.
