The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) in even-A Cd isotopes has been studied by inelastic α -scattering at 100 MeV/u and at extremely forward angles, including 0°. The asymmetry term in the nuclear incompressibility extracted from the ISGMR in Cd isotopes is found to be Kτ=−555±75 MeV, confirming the value previously obtained from the Sn isotopes. ISGMR strength has been computed in relativistic RPA using NL3 and FSUGold effective interactions. Both models significantly overestimate the centroids of the ISGMR strength in the Cd isotopes. Combined with other recent theoretical effort, the question of the “softness” of the open-shell nuclei in the tin region remains open still. 相似文献
The inhibitive effect of 2-aminoquinoline-6-carboxylic acid (AQC) against mild steel corrosion in 1?M HCl solutions was investigated using conventional weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. The weight loss results showed that AQC is an excellent corrosion inhibitor since its efficiency increased with the concentration to attain 91.8?% at 500?mg?l?1. Electrochemical polarization measurements revealed that AQC acted as a mixed-type inhibitor and the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have shown that the change in the impedance parameters, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance, with the change in concentration of the inhibitor is due to the adsorption of the molecule leading to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of mild steel. The adsorption was assumed to occur on the steel surface through the active centers of the molecule. The inhibition action of AQC was discussed in view of Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Density functional theory calculations of quantum parameters were used to explain efficiency in relation with molecular structure. 相似文献
We have predicted high pressure structural behavior and elastic properties of alkaline earth tellurides (AETe; AE = Ca, Sr,
Ba) by using two body interionic potential approach with modified ionic charge (Zme). This method has been found quite satisfactory in case of the rare earth compounds. The equation of state curve, structural
phase transition pressure from NaCl (B1) to CsCl (B2) phase and associated volume collapse at transition pressure of alkaline
earth tellurides (AETe) obtained from this approach, so have been compared with experimentally measured data reveal good agreement.
We have also investigated bulk modulus, second and third order elastic constants and pressure derivatives of second order
elastic constants at ambient pressure which shows predominantly ionic nature of these compounds. First time, we have calculated
the Poisson ratio, Young and Shear modulus of these compounds.

Spectral phase in a white-light interferogram contains information about the absolute optical path difference (OPD) in the interferometer. Evaluation of spectral phase is therefore important in applications such as profilometry with white light. In spectrally resolved white-light interferometry (SRWLI) the white-light interferogram is spectrally decomposed by a spectrometer in order to determine this phase. Several single-frame techniques in SRWLI have been proposed for the evaluation of the phase including Fourier transform, Hilbert transform, spatial phase shifting, windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform. In this paper we present a comparative study of these techniques in this application in relation to the temporal phase-shifting technique which is a multi- frame method. Further, we also propose a modified method to remove the influence of source spectrum modulation in Hilbert transform procedure. 相似文献
We demonstrate a simple one‐step method for synthesizing noble metal nanoparticle embedded free standing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite films. The process involves preparing a homogenous mixture of metal salt (silver, gold and platinum), silicone elastomer and the curing agent (hardener) followed by curing. During the curing process, the hardener crosslinks the elastomer and simultaneously reduces the metal salt to form nanoparticles. This in situ method avoids the use of any external reducing agent/stabilizing agent and leads to a uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the PDMS matrix. The films were characterized using UV‐Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy. The nanoparticle‐PDMS films have a higher Young's modulus than pure PDMS films and also show enhanced antibacterial properties. The metal nanoparticle‐PDMS films could be used for a number of applications such as for catalysis, optical and biomedical devices and gas separation membranes.
Misalignment is one of the common faults observed in rotors. Effect of misalignment on vibration response of coupled rotors is investigated in the present study. The coupled rotor system is modelled using Timoshenko beam elements with all six dof. An experimental approach is proposed for the first time for determination of magnitude and harmonic nature of the misalignment excitation. Misalignment effect at coupling location of rotor FE model is simulated using nodal force vector. The force vector is found using misalignment coupling stiffness matrix, derived from experimental data and applied misalignment between the two rotors. Steady-state vibration response is studied for sub-critical speeds. Effect of the types of misalignment (parallel and angular) on the vibration behaviour of the coupled rotor is examined. Along with lateral vibrations, axial and torsional vibrations are also investigated and nature of the vibration response is also examined. It has been found that the misalignment couples vibrations in bending, longitudinal and torsional modes. Some diagnostic features in the fast Fourier transform (FFT) of torsional and longitudinal response related to parallel and angular misalignment have been revealed. Full spectra and orbit plots are effectively used to reveal the unique nature of misalignment fault leading to reliable misalignment diagnostic information, not clearly brought out by earlier studies. 相似文献
The binding of two model photodynamic therapy drugs, chlorin p 6 and purpurin 18, with surfactants has been studied using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. The surfactants used are amphiphilic nonionic surfactant (Tween 80 and Tween 40) and zwitterionic surfactant (HAPS). These have applications in drug delivery. The studies have been performed at pH 7 and 5 for chlorin p 6 and at pH 7 for purpurin 18. The binding constants have been estimated from the change in fluorescence parameters and have been compared with those for Cremophor EL and human serum albumin. Chlorin p 6 is found to bind to the surfactants to a greater extent at pH 5 than at pH 7. The same ionic species of chlorin p 6 is found to exist at the maximum concentrations of the surfactants. 相似文献
Herein, we report a mechanistic investigation of an enantioselective tandem Mukaiyama aldol reaction, consisting of a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction and a silylation protection step in which the enantioselectivity results exclusively from the silylation step. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a Lewis base paired with a chiral quarternary ammonium salt. Mechanistic studies indicate that the enantioselectivity of the silylation step is a kinetic resolution of the aldolate intermediate. The effects of sterics and electronics on the aldehyde starting material are also presented. 相似文献
