The atomic structure and mechanism of growth, thermal desorption and dissolution of ultra-thin silver layers deposited in ultra-high vacuum on low-index faces of copper and nickel crystals were investigated with the use of AES, LEED, directional Auger (DAES) and elastic (DEPES) electron spectroscopies, and isothermal desorption. On (111) and (001) faces of copper and nickel the growth of (111) oriented silver islands was observed with epitaxial relations different for particular faces, while for (011) faces a parallel epitaxy occured for the first silver layer. Different mechanisms of growth (Frank — van der Merwe, Stranski — Krastanov, and duolayer) were found for particular substrates using the analysis of Auger peak kinetics basea on comparison of the substrate Auger peak height at the beginning of adsorption and at the first and second breaks of its kinetics. Annealing of the deposited layers leads to dissolution of silver in the copper substrate and to its evaporation from the nickel substrate. Binding energy of silver atoms in the first and second layers of silver on the (001) nickel face was determined using isothermal desorption kinetics. 相似文献
The energy distributions and relative intensities of protons, deutrons, tritons and α-particles emitted along the fission axis during thermal neutron fission of 235U were measured simultaneously with both fission fragment energies. The mass distributions of fragments, the total kinetic energy (TKE), the dependence of the mean TKE on the fragment mass, as well as the mean kinetic energy dependence of polar particles on the fragment mass and energy were subsequently deduced from these data. Although some experimental results agree remarkably well with the hypothesis that polar particles are evaporated in flight from fission fragments, the general conclusion is that these particles are emitted according to some other mechanism. 相似文献
Alpha particles, tritons, deuterons and protons accompanying 252Cf fission were registered in coincidence with both fission fragments by means of a system containing two-dimensional position-sensitive silicon detectors. Angular distributions, kinetic energy spectra of light charged particles as well as mass distributions of fission fragments in coincidence with light charged particles were measured. The experimental results are compared with some theoretical models. 相似文献
In the present paper, we provide the conditions guaranteeing the generalization of so-called diauxic behaviour of solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This behaviour was described by Monod in 1949 in the context of bacterial growth. Then, a similar behaviour was observed and described referring to dynamic of CDK1 protein activity during cell cycle. The diauxic behaviour is described in terms of inflection points. 相似文献
We present an exact solution to the governing equations for equatorial geophysical water waves which admit a constant underlying zonal current and a variable meridional current in the f-plane approximation. The solution is three-dimensional, nonlinear and explicit in Lagrangian formulation. We provide an analysis of the mean flow velocities and the related mass transport. 相似文献
Demand for long‐lasting antifouling surfaces has steered the development of accessible, novel, biocompatible and environmentally friendly materials. Inspired by lubricin (LUB), a component of mammalian synovial fluid with excellent antifouling properties, three block polymers offering stability, efficacy, and ease of use were designed. The bottlebrush‐structured polymers adsorbed strongly on silica surfaces in less than 10 minutes by a simple drop casting or online exposure method and were extremely stable in high‐salinity solutions and across a wide pH range. Antifouling properties against proteins and bacteria were evaluated with different techniques and ultralow fouling properties demonstrated. With serum albumin and lysozyme adsorption <0.2 ng cm?2, the polymers were 50 and 25 times more effective than LUB and known ultralow fouling coatings. The antifouling properties were also tested under MPa compression pressures by direct force measurements using surface forces apparatus. The findings suggest that these polymers are among the most robust and efficient antifouling agents currently known. 相似文献
Despite many advances in therapy, glioblastoma (GB) is still characterized by its poor prognosis. The main reason for this is unsuccessful treatment, which slightly extends the duration of remission; thus, new regimens are needed. One of many types of chemotherapeutics that are being investigated in this field is topoisomerase inhibitors, mainly in combination therapy with other drugs. On the other hand, the search for new anti-cancer substances continues. Neobavaisoflavone (NBIF) is a natural compound isolated from Psoralea corylifolia L., which possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NBIF in human U-87 MG glioblastoma cells in comparison to normal human NHA astrocytes, and to examine if it influences the activity of irinotecan, etoposide, and doxorubicin in this in vitro model. We demonstrated that NBIF decreases U-87 MG cells viability in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, we found that it inhibits cell growth and causes glutathione (GSH) depletion more intensely in U-87 MG cells than in astrocytes. This study also provides, for the first time, evidence of the potentialization of the doxorubicin effect by NBIF, which was shown by the reduction in the viability in U-87 MG cells. 相似文献
Traditional wastewater purification processes are based on a combination of physical, chemical, and biological methods; however, typical electrochemical techniques for removing pollutants require large amounts of electrical energy. In this study, we report on a process of wastewater purification, through continuous anodic dissolution of iron anode for aerated Cu/Fe galvanic cell in synthetic Na2SO4 wastewater solution. Electrochemical experiments were conducted by means of a laboratory size electrolyzer, where electrocoagulation along with electrooxidation phenomena were examined for wastewater containing Acid Mixture dye. The above was visualized through the employment of electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance spectroscopy techniques) along with instrumental spectroscopy analyses. 相似文献
Substitutional, continuous solid solution of the general formula Y2–xYbxO3 was obtained from the mixture of Y2O3 and Yb2O3 oxides, for the first time by the mechanochemical method in a high-energy ball milling. The monophasic samples of nanocrystalline solid solution for x?>?0.00 and x?<?2.00 were examined by the methods: XRD, DTA, SEM, IR and UV–Vis–DR. As follows from the results, the solid solution crystallizes in cubic system and is isostructural with Y2O3 and Yb2O3. The solution is stable in the air atmosphere up to at least 900°C, and its decomposition temperature decreases with the increase in x, that is, with decreasing number of Yb3+ ions replacing Y3+ ions in the crystal lattice of Y2O3. The energy band gap estimated for the solid solution varies from?~?5.30 eV for x?=?0.50 to?~?4.90 eV for x?=?1.50, which means that it is an insulator.
