Nanostructure and conductivity study of yttria doped zirconia films deposited on samaria doped ceria

Yttrium doped zirconia (YSZ) film was deposited on poly-crystalline 10 at.% samaria doped ceria (SDC) and YSZ plate (doped with 8 at.% yttria) by electron beam evaporation deposition. For electrolyte application in solid oxide fuel cells, YSZ can be used with SDC and act as an electron barrier. The conductivity of YSZ and SDC was measured after sintering at 1000 °C. Results indicated that YSZ film became columnar structure, and a new layer formed between the YSZ film and SDC, due to the inter-diffusion between zirconium ions and cerium ions.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic and luminescence properties of KEuGe2O6: a europium cyclogermanate containing infinite chains of edge-sharing Eu-O polyhedra

A new Eu(III) germanate, KEuGe2O6, has been synthesized by both the flux-growth method and the high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound contains parallel zigzag chains of edge-sharing Eu-O polyhedra, which are in turn linked by sharing vertices and edges with three-membered single ring Ge3O9(6-) germanate anions to form a 3-D framework structure. The magnetic and luminescence properties were also investigated. The observed chiMT value at 300 K is 4.53 emu K mol(-1), which is in good agreement with the calculated value for three Eu3+ ions. The sharp peaks in the room-temperature emission spectrum are assigned. The number of lines in the region of the 5D0-->7F0 transition and the relative intensities of the 5D0-->7F1 and 5D0-->7F2 transitions confirm the presence of two local Eu3+ environments and strongly distorted Eu3+-ligand surroundings. The reasons for the very short emission life time is discussed. The Sm and Tb analogues have also been synthesized.     

Rb2REGaSi4O12 (RE = Y, Eu, Gd, Tb): luminescent mixed-anion double layer silicates containing chains of edge-sharing REO7 pentagonal bipyramids

Four new rare earth gallosilicates, Rb 2REGaSi4O12 (RE = Y, Eu, Gd, and Tb, denoted as REGS-1), have been synthesized under high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They are the first examples of rare earth gallosilicates that contain individually occupied tetrahedral Ga(3+) and Si(4+) centers. The unique structure is formed of two 1D and one 2D substructural units: unbranched achter single chains which are seldom observed in silicates, the PaCl 5-type infinite chains formed of edge-sharing REO7 petagonal bipyramids and the unprecedented mixed-anion double layers with the composition [GaSi4O12]. The photoluminescence properties of EuGS-1 and TbGS-1 have been studied. The Y(3+) ion in YGS-1 can be partially replaced by Eu(3+) and Tb(3+) to yield luminescent materials.     

Flux synthesis, crystal structure, and luminescence properties of a new europium fluoride-silicate: K5Eu2FSi4O13

The crystal structure and luminescence properties of flux-grown crystals of a new europium(III) fluoride-silicate, K5Eu2FSi4O13, are reported. The structure consists of octahedral dimers of the composition [Eu2O10F], which are linked by unbranched tetrasilicate chains to form a 3-D framework with 5- and 6-ring channels parallel to the b axis where the K+ cations are located. The sharp peaks in the room-temperature emission spectrum are assigned. The number of lines in the region for the 5D0-->7F0 transition and the relative intensities of the 5D0-->7F1 and 5D0-->7F2 transitions confirm the presence of two local Eu3+ environments and strongly distorted Eu3+-ligand surroundings. The room-temperature fluorescence decay curves are well fit by a single-exponential function yielding a lifetime value of about 2.0 ms. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P21/m, a=7.1850(2) A, b=5.7981(2) A, c=18.1675(6) A, beta=92.248(2) degrees , and Z=2.     

Mixed-valence uranium germanate and silicate: Cs(x)(U(V)O)(U(IV/V)O)2(Ge2O7)2 (x = 3.18) and Cs4(U(V)O)(U(IV/V)O)2(Si2O7)2

A new mixed-valence uranium germanate and the silicate analogue have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions at 600 °C and 165 MPa. Their crystal structures contain infinite -U(V)-O-U(IV/V)-O-U(IV/V)-O-U(V)- chains that are connected by Ge(2)O(7) or Si(2)O(7) groups to form a 3D framework with six-ring channels where the Cs(+) cations are located. Two of the Cs sites in the germanate are partially occupied. Bond-valence-sum calculation and an U 4f X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study confirm the valence states of the uranium.     

质子辐照下Mo/Si多层膜反射镜的微观结构状态

利用透射电子显微镜对质子辐照前后空间太阳望远镜Mo/Si多层膜的微观结构进行了表征, 并对其辐照前后反射率的变化进行了测量.研究表明, Mo/Si多层膜经质子辐照后形成了一些缺陷结构,局部区域Mo/Si的周期性遭到破坏, Mo层与Si层的宽度发生了变化,多层膜层与层之间的界面也比辐照前更为粗糙,部分层状结构由于质子辐照发生了明显的扭曲和折断等现象;此外,质子辐照导致了Mo/Si多层膜反射率的下降,这些微观缺陷的形成是光学性能降低的直接诱因. 关键词： 空间太阳望远镜 Mo/Si多层膜 微观结构 反射率     

α稳定噪声环境下过阻尼系统中的参数诱导随机共振现象

本文采用随机模拟方法, 研究了过阻尼振子系统在α稳定噪声环境下的参数诱导随机共振现象. 结果表明, 在α噪声环境下, 调节系统参数能够诱导随机共振现象; 而且调节非线性项参数时, 随机共振效果随α稳定噪声的指数的减小而减弱, 但当调节线性项参数时, 随机共振效果则随着α稳定噪声的特征指数的减小而增强. 本文的结论在α稳定噪声环境下, 利用参数诱导随机共振原理进行弱信号检测方面具有重要的理论意义, 并有助于理解不同α稳定噪声对一般随机共振系统的共振效果的影响.     

A molecular mechanics (MM2) study of Furan,Thiophene, and related compounds

The molecular mechanics calculations reported earlier for nitrogen heterocycles have now been extended to include the title compounds, and related molecules. It is in general possible to calculate these structures with an accuracy that compares favorably with experiment.     

Asymptotic normality of cumulant spectral estimates

The paper considers higher-order cumulant spectral estimates obtained by directly Fourier transforming weighted cumulant estimates. Such estimates computationally are different from those based on the finite Fourier transform. These estimates can be looked at continuously as well as directly on submanifolds. The estimates of cumulants are based on unbiased moment estimates. Asymptotic normality is obtained for these estimates and is based on a strong mixing condition and only a finite number of cumulant summability conditions.
