Design and fabrication of 2 kHz nematic liquid crystal variable retarder with reflection mode

ABSTRACT

This study proposes a simple method of designing a high-speed liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) with reflection mode. First, a series of simple formulas is provided for analysing the effects of tilt incidence and birefringence of the liquid crystal on the phase retardation and response time of the LCVR. Then, a reflective LCVR is fabricated to validate the theoretical analysis. Measured results show that the response speed can reach 2.7 kHz with a phase retardation of 1 λ. Furthermore, the theoretical curve is close to the measured curve while the incident angle is less than 10°. However, the theoretical and measured values show a considerable difference under a large incident angle. This problem is discussed, and a modified method is given. This work is helpful for the design and fabrication of high-speed LCVR.     

On the copolymerization of acrylates in the modified microemulsion process

Copolymerization of methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, and butyl acrylate in turn was performed in the modified microemulsion polymerization process, i.e., continuous addition of monomer to a preemulsified system. It was found that the particle size of the copolymer microlatex did not change distinctly with the monomer composition. The estimation of emulsifier coverage on the microlatex particles indicated that the process switched from a traditional microemulsion to a normal seeded emulsion polymerization very soon after monomer dropping began. Therefore, a longer dropping time is needed to produce a microlatex with narrow dispersed particle size. Besides, in the modified microemulsion polymerization less emulsifier is needed to produce a stable microlatex. This behavior is related to the mechanism of normal seeded emulsion polymerization during monomer dropping.     

流动注射—在线分离富集与原子光谱检测联用技术

现代分析化学发展的重要特征之一是分析方法从离线/手动操作向在线/自动操作方向转化。流动注射(FI)作为非均匀和非平衡状态下的溶液处理和微量进样技术,是实现上述转化的有力工具。FI可与不同的分离富集和检测手段结合,具有很强适应性和实用性。在众多联用技术中,FI—在线分离富集与原子光谱检测联用技术特别受到分析化学界的青睐。这种联用不仅可以克服常规离线操作费时、污染环境和试样/试剂消耗大的缺点,而且可大大提高分析效率,显著改善分析方法的灵敏度与选择性,进行多种成分同时检测(对ICP—AES,DCP—AES     

Anomalous behavior of the Nd1.84Ce0.16CuO4 superconductor

The as-prepared electron-doped system Nd_2–xCe_xCuO₄ (where x0.16) is not superconducting. It becomes superconducting only after removal of a minuscule amount of extraneous oxygen (0.02 of O per unit formula). Mössbauer effect studies were carried out for oxygenated and deoxygenated Nd_2–xCe_xCu(⁵⁷Co)O₄ with x=0.14, 0.16, and 0.18. The spectra show evidence of oxygen anions attaching to the probe⁵⁷Co in apical positions, to form 5- and 6-coordinated species. A conventional procedure for deoxygenation brings about little change in the Mössbauer spectra both above and below the optimal superconducting concentration; however, for x=0.16, a dramatic change is observed—a major fraction of the magnetically split five-coordinated species manifests itself as a paramagnetically relaxed doublet upon deoxygenation, which costitutes a microscopic measure of the superconducting volume fraction. This apparently anomalous behavior at x0.16, where the extraneous oxygen is more readily desorbed, may be related to an electronic and/or local structural change in the CuO₂ plane.     

The Direct Resolution of the Enantiomers of Four Chiral Pesticides

Thin-layer chromatography combined with diode laser desorption/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry

The desorption of an analyte by a continuous wave diode laser from a porous surface of a thin-layer plate covered with a graphite suspension is presented. The thermally desorbed analyte molecules are ionized in the gas phase by a corona discharge at atmospheric pressure. Therefore, both essential processes--the desorption and the ionization of analyte molecules, which are often performed in one step--are separated. The target preparation is easy and fast since no additional extraction process is required. The mass spectrometric background signal was mostly limited to the low mass range showing no interference with typical compounds of interest. In this study, the calmative and antihypertensive drug reserpine was chosen as model analyte, which is often used for specification of mass spectrometers. No fragmentation was observed because of efficient collisional cooling under atmospheric pressure. The influence of diode laser power and the composition of the graphite suspension were investigated, and a primary optimization was performed.
