Virtual Source of a Swallowtail Beam

By applying a virtual source method, the exact and the paraxial solutions of the Swallowtail beams (SBs) that are governed by the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation are introduced. The paraxial SBs generated experimentally possess both self-accelerating and self-focusing features. The parameters controlling the field distributions are discussed in theory. From the spectral representation of the Swallowtail wave, in the appropriate limit, the first four terms of the nonparaxial correction series for the (1+2)-dimensional Swallowtail waves that simplify to the SBs are obtained.     

电流变液中的双折射现象观察

本文研究了电流变液(ER流体)可调节的双折射现象,激光束垂直于电场方向,利用He-Ne激光器对SiO₂、季戊四醇和硅油组成的ER流体进行测量.发现当一对偏振片互相正交,不加电场时,没有光线射出;当施加电场时,就有光线射出,透射光强度随电场增大.对于相同材料的ER流体,低浓度的ER流体双折射现象更加明显,电流变液双折射现象起因于颗粒在电场作用下排列成链状或柱状结构.

锥形光纤中光波传输特性的蒙特卡罗模拟

为了分析锥形光纤中光子流的传输特性和空间分布特性,采用了蒙特卡罗算法对其进行了模拟仿真,得到了大量光子经过锥形光纤后的光子分布图.模拟实验结果表明,通过锥形光纤的大量光子集中在探测器中心,到达探测器某一位置的光子数随着该位置到探测器中心距离的增加而减少,并且在锥形光纤锥度比一定的条件下,改变锥形光纤长度,光强度随着长度的增加而下降,但通过锥形光纤的光子分布是一样的.这些研究结果对锥形光纤的设计和实际应用提供了重要依据.     

Lewis Acid Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Hydrogen Activation: Structures,Mechanisms, and Reactivities

As a new type of bifunctional catalyst, the Lewis acid transition-metal (LA-TM) catalysts have been widely applied for hydrogen activation. This study presents a mechanistic framework to understand the LA-TM-catalyzed H₂ activation through DFT studies. The mer(trans)-homolytic cleavage, the fac(cis)-homolytic cleavage, the synergetic heterolytic cleavage, and the dissociative heterolytic cleavage should be taken as general mechanisms for the field of LA-TM catalysis. Four typical LA-TM catalysts, the Z-type κ⁴-L₃B-Rh complex tri(azaindolyl)borane-Rh, the X-type κ³-L₂B-Co complex bis-phosphino-boryl (PBP)-Co, the η²-BC-type κ³-L₂B-Pd complex diphosphine-borane (DPB)-Pd, and the Z-type κ²-LB-Pt complex (boryl)iminomethane (BIM)-Pt are selected as representative models to systematically illustrate their mechanistic features and explore the influencing factors on mechanistic variations. Our results indicate that the tri(azaindolyl)borane-Rh catalyst favors the synergetic heterolytic mechanism; the PBP-Co catalyst prefers the mer(trans)-homolytic mechanism; the DPB-Pd catalyst operates through the fac(cis)-homolytic mechanism, whereas the BIM-Pt catalyst tends to undergo the dissociative heterolytic mechanism. The mechanistic variations are determined by the coordination geometry, the LA-TM bonding nature, the electronic structure of the TM center, and the flexibility or steric effect of the LA ligands. The presented mechanistic framework should provide helpful guidelines for LA-TM catalyst design and reaction developments.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Remote C(sp3)−H Borylation of Silyl Enol Ethers

A rhodium-catalyzed remote C(sp³)−H borylation of silyl enol ethers (SEEs, E/Z mixtures) by alkene isomerization and hydroboration is reported. The reaction exhibits mild reaction conditions and excellent functional-group tolerance. This method is compatible with an array of SEEs, including linear and branched SEEs derived from aldehydes and ketones, and provides direct access to a broad range of structurally diverse 1,n-borylethers in excellent regioselectivities and good yields. These compounds are precursors to various valuable chemicals, such as 1,n-diols and aminoalcohols.     

Electrical properties of Ca3-xSmxCo4O9+δceramics prepared under magnetic field

We fabricate Sm-doped Ca3Co4O9+δ(CCO)bulk materials in magnetic field during both processes of chemical synthesis and cold pressing.The structure and electrical performance of the samples are investigated.With the increasing Sm concentration,the electrical conductivity 1/ρ decreases and the Seebeck coefficientαincreases.As a result,the power factor(PF=α^2/ρ)is raised slightly.After applying magnetic field,the extent of texture,grain size and density of all the bulk materials are improved obviously,thereby an enhanced electrical conductivity can be gained.Additionally,the degeneracy of Co^4+ state in the CoO2 layer of CCO is also increased as the magnetic field is used in the preparing process,which results in an enhancedα.The Ca2.85Sm0.15Co4O9+δ prepared in magnetic field shows the largest power factor(0.20 mW·m^-1·K^-2 at 1073 K).
