Effects of electron irradiation on poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) copolymers studied by solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

The effects of electron irradiation on the molecular chemical structure, conformation, mobility, and phase transition of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and trifluoroethylene (TrFE) copolymer have been investigated with variable‐temperature, solid‐state ¹⁹F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It has been found that electron irradiation converts all‐trans conformations of both VDF‐rich and TrFE‐containing segments into dynamically mixed trans–gauche conformations accompanied by a simultaneous ferroelectric‐to‐paraelectric (or amorphous) transition. The variable‐temperature ¹⁹F magic‐angle‐spinning spectra results show that the paraelectric phase melts at much lower temperatures in irradiated films than in an unirradiated sample. Moreover, ¹⁹F NMR relaxation data (spin–lattice relaxation times in both the laboratory and rotating frames) reveal that electron irradiation enhances the molecular motion in paraelectric regions, whereas the molecular motion in a high‐temperature amorphous melt (>100 °C) is more constrained in irradiated films. Besides these physical changes, electron irradiation also induces the formation of several CF₃ groups. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 44: 1714–1724, 2006     

大气光通信中大气闪烁时间平滑效应研究

利用大气闪烁的时间平滑效应,增加光电探测器曝光时间是克服大气闪烁对大气光通信的瞄准、捕获、跟踪链路影响的有效途径之一.基于科尔莫戈罗夫谱,导出了弱湍流起伏区无限平面波和球面波的大气闪烁时间平滑因子的一般表达式,并且用几何光学近似得到了在大孔径和小孔径接收情况下的时间平滑因子近似表达式.在孔径远大于菲涅耳区尺度时,平面波和球面波的时间平滑因子的近似表达式与精确表达式的误差分别小于6%和3%.分析结果表明,孔径越小,时间平滑效应越显著,并且菲涅耳区尺度对时间平滑效应影响的程度也随着孔径的增加而减弱.     

Liquid-crystal-based tunable high-Q directional random laser from a planar random microcavity

Temperature-tunable directional laser emission from a dye-doped liquid-crystal-based planar random cavity laser is presented. The optically pumped nematic liquid crystal infiltrated planar random microcavity produces an ultranarrow linewidth (0.03 nm, corresponding to Q>20,000), highly directional (1.4 degrees divergence angle) laser emission. By increasing the temperature from 27 degrees C to 34 degrees C, the wavelength of an emitted polarized laser can be tuned between 605.8 and 608.5 (ordinary light) and 631.3 and 624.9 nm (extraordinary light). A simulation result from the transfer matrix method that matches the experimental results well is also presented.

Hydrogen spillover in Pt-single-walled carbon nanotube composites: formation of stable C-H bonds

Using in situ electrical conductivity and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements, we have examined how the hydrogen uptake of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is influenced by the addition of Pt nanoparticles. The conductivity of platinum-sputtered single-walled carbon nanotubes (Pt-SWNTs) during molecular hydrogen exposure decreased more rapidly than that of the corresponding pure SWNTs, which supports a hydrogenation mechanism facilitated by "spillover" of dissociated hydrogen from the Pt nanoparticles. C 1s XPS spectra indicate that the Pt-SWNTs store hydrogen by means of chemisorption, that is, covalent C-H bond formation: molecular hydrogen charging at elevated pressure (8.27 bar) and room temperature yielded Pt-SWNTs with up to 16 ± 1.5 at. % sp(3)-hybridized carbon atoms, which corresponds to a hydrogen-storage capacity of 1.2 wt % (excluding the weight of Pt nanoparticles). Pt-SWNTs prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique exhibited the highest Pt/SWNT ratio and also the best hydrogen uptake.     

Surface basicity on bulk modified phosphorus alumina through different synthesis methods

Bulk modified phosphorus alumina samples were prepared by gel method (GPA) and hydrolysis of phosphide aluminum (HPA). The γ-Al(2)O(3) impregnated by phosphates precursor (IPA) was also compared. The basicity of the samples has been investigated through the CO(2) adsorption/desorption processes by in situ DRIFT and temperature programmed desorption experiments. It was found that the surface basicity can be adjusted by different location of phosphates species. For the GPA sample, the phosphates species tends to be located in the grain boundaries as they were not stable enough to overcome the structure rearrangement at high temperatures. In contrast, phosphorus was stably anchored in the crystal lattice of HPA sample. Considering the synthesis process of HPA samples, phosphorus changed its valence state from P(-3) to P(+5) and migrated from anion to cation sites. The anion vacancies left in the lattice facilitated the formation of unsaturated oxygen ions and results in the enhanced basicity.
