Low-temperature heat capacities and standard molar enthalpy of formation of N-methylnorephedrine C11H17NO（s）

This paper reports that low-temperature heat capacities of N-methylnorephedrine C11H17NO（s） have been measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from T=78K to T=400K. A solid to liquid phase transition of the compound was found in the heat capacity curve in the temperature range of T=342-364 K. The peak temperature, molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion of the substance were determined. The experimental values of the molar heat capacities in the temperature regions of T=78-342 K and T=364-400 K were fitted to two poly- nomial equations of heat capacities with the reduced temperatures by least squares method. The smoothed molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of N-methylnorephedrine C11H17NO（s） relative to the standard refer- ence temperature 298.15 K were calculated based on the fitted polynomials and tabulated with an interval of 5 K. The constant-volume energy of combustion of the compound at T=298.15 K was measured by means of an isoperibol precision oxygen-bomb combustion calorimeter. The standard molar enthalpy of combustion of the sample was calculated. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compound was determined from the combustion enthalpy and other auxiliary thermodynamic data through a Hess thermochemical cycle.

ZnSe相变、电子结构的第一性原理计算

基于第一性原理平面波赝势(PWP)和广义梯度近似(GGA)方法,对闪锌矿结构(ZB)和岩盐结构(RS)的ZnSe在0—20GPa高压下的几何结构、态密度、能带结构进行了计算研究,分析了闪锌矿结构ZnSe和岩盐结构ZnSe的几何结构.在此基础上,研究了ZnSe的结构相变、弹性常数、成键情况以及相变压强下电子结构的变化机理.结果发现:通过焓相等原理得到的ZB相到RS相的相变压强为15.3GPa,而由弹性常数判据得到的相变压强为11.52GPa,但在9.5GPa左右并没有发现简单立方相的出现;在结构相变过程中,sp3轨道杂化现象并未消除,Zn原子的4s电子在RS相ZnSe的导电性中起主要贡献.     

A new method for high-energy pulsed Gamma measurement within intense background x-rays

The accelerator-generating 6.13~MeV pulsed Gamma by ¹⁹F(p, αγ )¹⁶⁰ reaction usually synchronizes with an intense bremsstrahlung x-ray which has a maximum energy of 1~MeV. This paper proposes a new method, named the scattering and absorbing method, to diagnose the 6.13~MeV Gamma. This method includes two parts: the detector and a scatterer placed in front of the detector. The detector converts the Gamma to electrons and then collects the electrons by a scintillator. In order to restrain the interference of the low-energy background, the scintillator collects the electrons at a small angle. The scintillator is wrapped with electro-absorbing material to absorb the low-energy electrons generated by background x-rays. The theoretical sensitivity ratio of 6.13~MeV Gamma to 1~MeV x-rays is greater than 150. The scatterer is a pretreatment tool to scatter some background x-rays away from the radial beam before they enter the detector. By varying the length, the scatterer can reduce the background x-rays to an acceptable level for the detector.     

有耗孤子的最小作用量原理及其在二维光子带隙结构中的应用

采用变分方法对于二维矩形光子带隙结构中X点孤子的耗散以及相干作用进行了动力学分析.通过对由作用量原理得到的孤子参量联立方程组的分析可知，除了耗散作用导致孤子的幅度衰减，并引起孤子横向的展宽以外，同向孤子的相互作用负势函数为耗散作用所减弱，从而使得孤子在x方向的束缚态被削弱.孤子中心间距随x的增加呈现出增幅变化且波动周期增大，当纵向距离增大到一定值后，孤子中心间距将一直增大下去.     

温度对潜望式激光通信终端SiC反射镜性能影响

分析了温度梯度和均匀温度对潜望式激光通信终端反射镜形变的影响,利用椭圆域上的Zernike多项式对椭圆反射镜的波前进行拟合,计算由于热形变导致的波前畸变误差,给出了星间激光通信终端反射镜均方根值、发射光束瞄准误差、接收端光强随温度梯度和均匀温度的变化关系。结果表明:温度梯度对反射镜的影响只是引起峰值光强的漂移和少许下降,当温度梯度为14 ℃/m时瞄准误差达2.1 μrad。均匀温度会引起接收端的光强分布变化,从而导致很大的瞄准误差和光强衰减,当均匀温度与参考温度的差值小于0.6 ℃时,由波前畸变误差引起的瞄准误差小于1 μrad,当差值大于0.6 ℃时,瞄准误差突然增大到几μrad,接收端光强分布发生变化,此时反射镜热形变引起的像散项对光强分布起重要作用。     

Accurate correction of arbitrary spin fermion quantum tunneling from non-stationary Kerr-de Sitter black hole based on corrected Lorentz dispersion relation

According to a corrected dispersion relation proposed in the study on the string theory and quantum gravity theory, the Rarita-Schwinger equation was precisely modified, which resulted in the Rarita-Schwinger-Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Using this equation, the characteristics of arbitrary spin fermion quantum tunneling radiation from non-stationary Kerr-de Sitter black holes were determined. A number of accurately corrected physical quantities, such as surface gravity, chemical potential, tunneling probability, and Hawking temperature, which describe the properties of black holes, were derived. This research has enriched the research methods and enabled increased precision in black hole physics research.     

Paraxial propagation of cosh-Airy vortex beams in chiral medium

Propagation dynamics of the cosh-Airy vortex(CAiV) beams in a chiral medium is investigated analytically with Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral formula. The results show that the CAiV beams are split into the left circularly polarized vortex(LCPV) beams and the right circularly polarized vortex(RCPV) beams with different propagation trajectories in the chiral medium. We mainly investigate the effect of the cosh parameter on the propagation process of the CAiV beams.The propagation characteristics, including intensity distribution, propagation trajectory, peak intensity, main lobe's intensity, Poynting vector, and angular momentum are discussed in detail. We find that the cosh parameter affects the intensity distribution of the CAiV beams but not its propagation trajectory. As the cosh parameter increases, the distribution areas of the LCPV and RCPV beams become wider, and the side lobe's intensity and peak intensity become larger. Besides, the main lobe's intensity of the LCPV and RCPV beams increase with the increase of the cosh parameter at a farther propagation distance, which is confirmed by the variation trend of the Poynting vector. It is significant that we can vary the cosh parameter to control the intensity distribution, main lobe's intensity, and peak intensity of the CAiV beams without changing the propagation trajectory. Our results may provide some support for applications of the CAiV beams in optical micromanipulation.     

Surface profile optimization of antireflection gratings for solar cells

The solar cell efficiency can be improved by antireflection gratings. In this paper, the antireflection gratings with different symmetrical surface profiles are investigated by numerical simulations based on the Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis. Simulated results show that the antireflection performance of sharp profile such as quadratic profile has a significant improvement compared with triangular and parabolic profiles, while the top cutoff in the grating tip will severely influence the antireflection performance. Meanwhile, proper length of flat region between grating features in the nonclose-packed triangular antireflection grating can have better antireflection performance than the close-packed counterpart for the same grating period and height. Such antireflection gratings with different surface profiles may offer attractive solutions to current commercial silicon solar cell, as well as organic and other semiconductor material based solar cells.     

Cooling of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Λ</Emphasis>-type three-level atom in a high-finesse optical cavity

A theoretical study is carried out for the cavity cooling of a Λ-type three-level atom in a high-finesse optical cavity driven by a weakly field. Analytical expressions for the friction, diffusion coefficients and the equilibrium temperature are obtained by using the Heisenberg equations, then they are calculated numerically and shown graphically as functions of the controlling parameters. For a suitable choice of these parameters, the dynamics of the cavity field interaction with the Λ-type three-level atom introduces a sisyphus cooling mechanism yielding lower temperature than the one of the two-level atom, avoiding the problems induced by spontaneous emission.
