Nanoparticle-doped chiral nematic liquid-crystal composite and its effect in magnetic-response and electric-response flexible display

A composite system of Fe3O4 nanoparticle-doped chiral nematic liquid crystals (N*LC) with flexible display performance was proposed. Fe3O4 nanoparticle and the nanoparticle-doped N*LC composite were detailed prepared and investigated. The influence of nanoparticle doping amount and chiral compound content on the magnetic performance as well as electrical performance of the flexible device had been studied in detail. The most suitable N*LC composites for magnetic-driven display had been found. With the characteristics of simple preparation, good stability and high resolution, the Fe3O4 nanoparticle-doped N*LCs had promising applications for power-free magnetic-driven flexible LC paper or display board.     

Theoretical study of anharmonic force field and spectroscopic constants for 1-chlorophosphaethene,CH2PCl and CD2PCl

The anharmonic force field and spectroscopy constants for CH₂PCl are determined using CCSD(T), VPT2, and density functional theory employing cc-pVQZ basis sets. The molecule structure, rotational spectroscopic constants, and vibrational wave numbers are compared with the available experimental data. Anharmonicity constants, vibration-rotation interaction constants and cubic force constants are predicted. Vibrational wave numbers and rotational constants for CD₂PCl are also determined using the same levels. The isotopic shifts of vibrational wave numbers are remarkable by D atom substitution for 1-chlorophosphaethene.

Effects of flame‐retardant ramie fiber on enhancing performance of the rigid polyurethane foams

Ramie fiber (RF) with excellent tensile strength was treated by a flame retardant and obtained the modified RF (MRF) that is incombustible. Then, MRF was used to improve the performance of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF). The mechanical properties of the composite were investigated by compressive strength test and shear stress test. The fire characteristics were studied using a cone calorimeter. And the thermal decomposition and flammable properties were further evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis and limiting oxygen index. The results showed that MRF improve the mechanical properties of RPUF and eliminate the harm of flammability of RF on the RPUF.     

Discovery of a nuclear isomer in 65Fe with penning trap mass spectrometry

A new long-lived isomeric state in (65)Fe has been discovered with Penning trap mass spectrometry and high-precision mass measurements of the neutron-rich isotopes (63-65)Fe and (64-66)Co have been performed with the Low-Energy Beam and Ion Trap Facility at the NSCL. For the new isomer in (65)Fe an excitation energy of 402(5) keV has been determined from the measured mass difference between the isomeric and ground states. The mass uncertainties of all isotopes have been reduced by a factor of 10-100 compared to previous results. In the case of (64)Co the previous mass value was found to deviate by about 5 standard deviations from the new measurement.     

Thermoluminescence characteristics of rare-earth-doped LiCaBO3 phosphor

LiCaBO₃ was synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The influence of different rare earth dopants, i.e. Dy³⁺, Tb³⁺, Tm³⁺ and Ce³⁺, on thermoluminescence (TL) of LiCaBO₃ phosphor was discussed. We studied the TL properties and some dosimetric characteristics of Ce³⁺-activated LiCaBO₃ phosphor in detail. The effect of the concentration of Ce³⁺ on TL was investigated, the result of which showed that the optimum Ce³⁺ concentration was 1 mol%. The TL kinetic parameters of LiCaBO₃:0.01Ce³⁺ were studied by computer glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) method. The three-dimensional (3D) TL emission spectra were also studied, peaking at 431 and 474 nm due to the characteristic transition of Ce³⁺. We also studied the linearity, annealing condition, reproducibility, fading and different heating rate of the LiCaBO₃:0.01Ce³⁺ phosphor.
