Channel-Resolved Ultrafast Dissociation Dynamics of NO2 Molecules Studied via Femtosecond Time-Resolved Ion Imaging

The ultrafast dissociation dynamics of NO₂ molecules was investigated by femtosecond laser pump-probe mass spectra and ion images. The results show that the kinetic energy release of NO⁺ ions has two components, 0.05 eV and 0.25 eV, and the possible dissociation channels have been assigned. The channel resolved transient measurement of NO⁺ provides a method to disentangle the contribution of ultrafast dissociation pathways, and the transient curvesof NO⁺ ions at different kinetic energy release are fitted by a biexponential function. The fast component with a decay time of 0.25 ps is generated from the evolution of Rydberg states. The slow component is generated from two competitive channels, one of the channel is absorbing one 400 nm photon to the excited state A²B2, which has a decay time of 30.0 ps, and the other slow channel is absorbing three 400 nm photons to valence type Rydberg states which have a decay time less than 7.2 ps. The channel and time resolved experiment present the potential of sorting out the complex ultrafast dissociation dynamics of molecules.     

Convergence of the fractional step Lax-Friedrichs scheme and Godunov scheme for the isentropic system of gas dynamics

A convergence theorem of the fractional step Lax-Friedrichs scheme and Godunov scheme for an inhomogeneous system of isentropic gas dynamics (1<5/3) is established by using the framework of compensated compactness. Meanwhile, a corresponding existence theorem of global solutions with large data containing the vacuum is obtained.Partially supported by U.S. NSF Grant # DMS-850403

ZnS中Te等电子中心的时间分辨光谱研究

用时间分辨光谱研究了很大的Te组分范围内的ZnS_1-xTe_x（x=00 05—085）合金的发光动力学特性，结果表明：不同形态的Te等电子中心具有不同的辐射复 合寿命，从几个ns到几十个ns的范围内变化，当x＝015左右时，寿命达到最大值（约 40ns）.其物理机理源于不同的Te等电子中心具有不同的局域化特性.当Te组分较小时，等 电子中心从Te₁逐渐演变到Te₂，Te₃或Te₄ 时，相应发光寿命增加，表现出不断增强 的激子发光局域化特性；而当Te组分较大时，Te原子团变得较大，其局域势与基体原子势的 相互作用增强，等电子中心的局域化特性减弱，而基体价带扩展态特征变得明显起来，相应 发光寿命逐渐减小.还研究了激子束缚能随Te组分的变化以及发光强度随温度的变化关系， 所得结果进一步支持了时间分辨光谱研究所得到的结论. 关键词： ZnS 等电子中心 时间分辨光谱 局域态     

Determination of the surface states from the ultrafast electronic states in a thermoelectric material

We reveal the electronic structure in Yb Cd₂Sb₂,a thermoelectric material,by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)and time-resolved ARPES(tr ARPES).Specifically,three bulk bands at the vicinity of the Fermi level are evidenced near the Brillouin zone center,consistent with the density functional theory(DFT)calculation.It is interesting that the spin-unpolarized bulk bands respond unexpectedly to right-and left-handed circularly polarized probe.In addition,a hole band of surface states,which is not sensitive to the polarization of the probe beam and is not expected from the DFT calculation,is identified.We find that the non-equilibrium quasiparticle recovery rate is much smaller in the surface states than that of the bulk states.Our results demonstrate that the surface states can be distinguished from the bulk ones from a view of time scale in the nonequilibrium physics.     

Optical bistability of a composite system induced by a broadband squeezed vacuum

A composite system consisting of a degenerate optical parametric oscillator （DOPO） and N two-level atoms interacting with a broadband squeezed vacuum （SV） centred at frequency cas and an input monochromatic pumping field with a frequency ωp is analysed. The corresponding explicit analytical steady-state solutions in the central mode ωp = ωs are derived, and the result displays optical bistability （OB）. In addition, the influence of the broadband SV on the bistable behaviour is analysed in detail.     

Mechanism for the reaction of 2-naphthol with N-methyl-N-phenyl-hydrazine suggested by the density functional theory investigations

For the first time the computed mechanisms for the novel reaction of 2-naphthol with N-methyl-N-phenylhydrazine, leading to 1-amino-2-naphthol (Tang et al., J Am Chem Soc 2008, 130, 5840), have been investigated using the density functional theory. Four distinct possible pathways were evaluated: two amination mechanisms with the attack of NH(2) group respectively at the α-position C1 and β-position C3 atoms of 2-naphthol (pathways 1 and 2) as well as two rearrangement processes with displacement of the phenolic hydroxyl group followed by the benzidine-like rearrangement at the α-position C1 and β-position C3 atoms of 2-naphthol, respectively (pathways 3 and 4). Solvent effect has been tested based on the optimized geometries of the stationary points in solution at the B3LYP/PCM/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory with an averaged dielectric constant of binary solvent. Single-point energies of the optimized structures have been calculated using three hybrid density functionals, B3LYP, MPW3LYP, and B3PW91 with the 6-311++G(3df,2p) basis set. Our computed results clearly manifest that pathway 1 (α-amination) has the highest possibility to occur, with the Gibbs free energies being lower by 6 to 20 kcal/mol compared with the other three pathways, which leads to 1-amino-2-naphthol and N-methylaniline as products. It is in excellent agreement with the experimental observation.

Determination of amoxicillin residues in animal tissues by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

Trace levels of amoxicillin residues were determined in animal tissues by liquid chromatography (LC) with fluorescence detection. An improved solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure requiring less flammable solvent (diethyl ether) was developed for sample preparation. Muscle samples of beef, pork, chicken, and tilapia were extracted with a phosphate buffer followed by the modified SPE procedure for cleanup and concentration prior to the LC-fluorescence analysis. Average recoveries of fortified amoxicillin at 5, 10, and 20 micrograms/kg ranged from 83.9 to 85.8% in beef, 86.1 to 88.1% in pork, 81.7 to 82.9% in chicken, and 92.5 to 95.4% in tilapia. Relative standard deviations were < 4%.
