An apatite fission track study of crystalline rocks underlying sedimentary basins in northeastern Brazil indicate that crustal blocks that occur on opposite sides of a geological fault experienced different thermal histories. Samples collected on the West block yielded corrected fission-track ages from 140 to 375 Ma, whereas samples collected on the East block yielded ages between 90 and 125 Ma. The thermal models suggest that each block experienced two cooling events separated by a heating event at different times. We concluded that the West block moved downward relative to the East block ca. 140 Ma ago, when sediments eroded from the East side were deposited on the West side. This process represents the early stage of sedimentary basin formation and the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean in the region. Downward and upward movements related to heating and cooling events of these crustal blocks at different periods until recent times are proposed. 相似文献
We discuss the excitation spectrum, electronic susceptibilities,
and possible electronic instabilities in graphene and graphene stacks. The
corrections due interactions of Landau levels in graphene are analyzed. At
low dopings, and for
sufficiently low couplings, single layer graphene is stable against
ferromagnetism. On the other hand, a graphene bilayer, and
infinite graphite, are unstable towards ferromagnetism and
antiferromagnetism. 相似文献
In order to solve linear programs with a large number of constraints, constraint generation techniques are often used. In
these algorithms, a relaxation of the formulation containing only a subset of the constraints is first solved. Then a separation
procedure is called which adds to the relaxation any inequality of the formulation that is violated by the current solution.
The process is iterated until no violated inequality can be found. In this paper, we present a separation procedure that uses
several points to generate violated constraints. The complexity of this separation procedure and of some related problems
is studied. Also, preliminary computational results about the advantages of using multiple-points separation procedures over
traditional separation procedures are given for random linear programs and survivable network design. They illustrate that,
for some specific families of linear programs, multiple-points separation can be computationally effective. 相似文献
We demonstrate that the electronic gap of a graphene bilayer can be controlled externally by applying a gate bias. From the magnetotransport data (Shubnikov-de Haas measurements of the cyclotron mass), and using a tight-binding model, we extract the value of the gap as a function of the electronic density. We show that the gap can be changed from zero to midinfrared energies by using fields of less, approximately < 1 V/nm, below the electric breakdown of SiO2. The opening of a gap is clearly seen in the quantum Hall regime. 相似文献
A new mechanism of photosensitized formation of thymine (Thy) dimers is proposed, which involves generation of a delocalized triplet excited state as the key step. This is supported by chemical evidence obtained by combining one benzophenone and two Thy units with different degrees of freedom, whereby the photoreactivity is switched from a clean Paternò–Büchi reaction to a fully chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective [2+2] cycloaddition. 相似文献
Laser desorption ionization using time-of-flight mass spectrometer afforded with quadrupole ion trap was used to study As2Ch3 (Ch = S, Se, and Te) bulk chalcogenide materials. The main goal of the study is the identification of species present in the plasma originating from the interaction of laser pulses with solid state material. The generated clusters in both positive and negative ion mode are identified as 10 unary (Sp+/– and Asm+/–) and 34 binary (AsmSp+/–) species for As2S3 glass, 2 unary (Seq+/–) and 26 binary (AsmSeq+/–) species for As2Se3 glass, 7 unary (Ter+/–) and 23 binary (AsmTer+/–) species for As2Te3 material. The fragmentation of chalcogenide materials was diminished using some polymers and in this way 45 new, higher mass clusters have been detected. This novel approach opens a new possibility for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry analysis of chalcogenides as well as other materials.
We present a form of the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) for a continuous function f between metric spaces, connecting it with the possibility to choose the relation of f in a homeomorphic way. We also compare our formulation of the MVT with the classic one when the metric spaces are open subsets of Banach spaces. As a consequence, we derive a version of the Mean Value Propriety for measure spaces that also possesses a compatible metric structure. 相似文献
We report on the structures exhibited by two different diblock poly(styrene)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) copolymers in water, a selective solvent. Using a combination of X-ray scattering and freeze fracture-transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM), we show that these structures can be widely swollen while retaining their initial morphology and a high degree of long-range order. The analysis of the FF-TEM pictures also evidences the presence of water crystallites of regular size and shape within the confined water domains. We relate the growth of these crystallites to the high local ionic strength of the water swelling the PAA brushes. Moreover, the confinement of the crystallites growth shows that the swollen phases have a very robust structure, potentially useful for confining colloidal particles. 相似文献
