X-ray absorption investigation of the site occupancies of the copper element in nominal Cu_3Zn(OH)_6FBr

With Zn substitution to the three-dimensional antiferromagnetically ordered barlowite Cu_4(OH)_6 FBr,Cu_3 Zn(OH)_6 FBr shows no magnetic phase transition down to 50 mK,and the system is suggested to be a two-dimensional kagome quantum spin liquid [Chin.Phys.Lett.34 077502(2017)].A key issue to identify such phase diagram is the exact chemical formula of the substituted compound.With Cu L-edge x-ray absorption spectrum(XAS) combined with the MultiX XAS calculations,we evaluate the Cu concentration in a nominal Cu_3 Zn(OH)_6 FBr sample.Our results show that although the Cu concentration is 2.80,close to the expected value,there is 34% residual Cu occupation in intersite layers between kagome layers.Thus the Zn substitution of the intersite layers is not complete,and likely it intrudes the kagome layers.     

Optimization of Cockpit Ventilation for Polar Cruise Ships in Combination with Windscreen Defogging and Cabin Comfort Considerations

Polar cruise ships are exposed to extreme external conditions during voyages, resulting in cockpit windscreens that are prone to fogging and frosting, seriously affecting the driver’s vision and even threatening navigation safety. However, the current research mainly focuses on cabin comfort, ignoring the coupling of defogging and comfort. Accordingly, this paper combines cockpit-windshield-defogging design and cockpit comfort considerations, and proposes 108 orthogonal-ventilation design parameters based on the four basic ventilation methods. The effects of different air supply parameters on comfort and anti-fog characteristics are investigated by using fluid dynamics simulation methods. The entropy weight–TOPSIS algorithm is employed to find the optimal ventilation parameters. The results show that the “Down-supply up-return type vertical jet” air supply method corresponding to an air supply velocity of 1 m/s, an air supply temperature of 297 K, and an air supply relative humidity of 30% has the smallest Euclidean distance di+ from the positive ideal solution, and the largest Euclidean distance di− from the negative ideal solution; thus, it obtains a higher ci and the highest priority. This air supply method provides the best thermal comfort for the drivers, as well as the best anti-fogging and defogging effect. The results can be useful to provide suggestions for the future design of the air-conditioning systems in polar cruise ships.

The Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions of a Class of Evolution Equations

In this paper, a class of evolution equations which have special boundary conditions is discussed. The spectrum properties of an operator which is associated with this class of equations arc provided, and the existence and uniqueness of solutions of this class of equations is proved by the theory of pertu rbation of C_0-semigroups. In the last part of this paper, a condition which ensures the solutions to be non-negative is given. Some results of the time-independent population systems in [1-5] are our examples.     

激光微织构硬质合金表面润湿性

为了研究硬质合金表面激光微织构对其表面润湿性的影响,利用光纤激光不同功率（3,5,7,9,10 W）及不同加工次数（1,2,3,4,5）加工微凹坑,采用VHX1000c超景深三维显微镜、光学显微镜分析微凹坑形貌,利用CAM 200光学接触角仪测量表面微织构（微凹坑直径、深度和织构密度）与润湿性之间的关系。结果表明：随着激光功率的增大,微凹坑深度增加,直径变化不明显;硬质合金表面的亲水性能随着微凹坑深度的增加而减小;随着微凹坑直径的增大,亲水性增强;随着微织构密度的增加,亲水性出现极值。     

The synthesis and photolysis mechanisms of 8‐nitroquinoline‐based photolabile caging groups for carboxylic acid

Photolabile protecting groups have been extensively studied and applied for protection of small biological molecules, which make it convenient to detect the biological processes of the caged compounds. In this study, a series of 8‐nitroquinoline‐based photolabile caging groups for carboxylic acid were synthesized with improved photolysis efficiency. Among them, 6‐bromo‐8‐nitro‐1, 2‐dihydroquinolinyl chromophore was proven the best derivative on account of its longest absorption wavelength (345 nm), highest caging ability, and quantum yield (Φ = 0.003). Moreover, density functional theory calculations were performed in order to study the photolysis mechanisms. Theoretical calculations revealed that the reaction was kinetically inert under general mild condition with the high barrier height of 34.3 kcal/mol at carbonyl migration step, while under the photolysis condition, because of the large energy gap (64.5 kcal/mol) between S₀ and S₁ states, the reaction should be accessible in the triplet ground state (T₁) through successive excitation of S₀ → S₁ states, subsequent intersystem crossing of S₁ → T₁ states, and finally returned to the stable S₀ state for product via potential energy surface crossing between T₁ and S₀ states.

Magnetocaloric effect and transition order of Mn5Ge3 ribbons

Single phase Mn₅Ge₃ ribbons were successfully synthesized by single roller melt-spinning method followed by an annealing procedure at 800 °C for 1 h. The magnetocaloric effect and transition order were investigated by dc magnetization measurement. A maximum entropy change of 4.92 J/kg K and a refrigerant capacity of 201.3 J/kg were observed at an external field change of 30 kOe. The Banerjee criterion was adopted to discriminate the order of the transition, indicating a second order transition. The calculated entropy changes were also obtained by Landau theory, which are in agreement with the experimental values at the temperature region above the Curie temperature. This phenomena implies a potential transition of the magnetic interaction in the vicinity of the Curie temperature. Universal behavior was also indicated in that all of the experimental entropy change curves collapse into one universal curve, which is consistent with the Banerjee criterion.     

The luminescence and energy transfer in Pr3+–Ce3+ co-doped Lu0.8Sc0.2BO3 crystals

Lu_0.8Sc_0.2BO₃ crystals doped with 1 at%Ce³⁺ and co-doped 0.1 at% and 0.5 at%Pr³⁺ were grown by the Czochralski method. The concentrations of Pr³⁺ and Ce³⁺ in crystals were measured by the ICP-AES method. Absorption spectra, VUV–UV spectra, fluorescence decay time and X-ray excitation luminescence spectra were investigated at room temperature. The excitation luminescence spectra of Ce³⁺ emission and decay curves from the lower excited state levels of the 4f¹5d¹ and 5d¹ electronic configurations of the Pr³⁺ and Ce³⁺ conspicuously indicated the non-radiative energy transfer from Pr³⁺ to Ce³⁺. The detailed pathways were shown in the energy level diagram of the respective Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ in Lu_0.8Sc_0.2BO₃ host. In addition, the scintillation efficiency data indicated that the energy transfer effect is directly associated with the Pr³⁺ concentration.
