Organophosphine/phosphite‐stabilized silver(I) complexes bearing N‐acetylbenzamide ligand: synthesis,characterization and potential application in metal organic chemical vapor deposition

New N‐silver(I) acetylbenzamide complexes of type L_n?AgNC₉H₈O₂ (L = PPh₃; n = 1, 2a; n = 2, 2b; n = 3, 2c; L = P(OEt)₃; n = 1, 2d; n = 2, 2e; n = 3, 2f) were prepared. These complexes were obtained in high yields and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C{H} NMR, ³¹P{H} NMR and IR spectroscopy, respectively. The molecular structure of 2b has been determined by X‐ray single‐crystal analysis in which the silver atom is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry and crystallizes as cis–trans. New N‐silver(I) acetylbenzamide complexes have a four‐membered ring, which could influence their chemical and physical properties and modulate volatility. Metal organic chemical vapor deposition experiments were carried out successfully at 400°C and 450°C using 2e as precursor for the deposition of silver films, respectively. The high‐purity silver film obtained at 400°C is dense and homogeneous. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Theoretical study of the thermal rearrangement of chloromethylsilanes, and its mechanism

The thermal rearrangement reactions of chloromethylsilane, (chloromethyl)dimethylsilane, and (chloromethyl)vinylsilane have been studied by use of the density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) level. The structures of the reactants, transition states, and the products were determined and fully optimized. The geometries of the different stationary points and the harmonic vibrational frequencies were calculated at the same level. The results showed that thermal rearrangement of the chloromethylsilanes occurred via one pathway. The chlorine atom migrated from the carbon atom to the silicon atom, and the hydrogen atom migrated simultaneously from the silicon atom to the carbon atom through a double-three-membered-ring transition state, forming methylchlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, and vinylmethylchlorosilane. The energy barriers of the three rearrangements calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) level were 217.4, 201.6, and 208.7 kJ mol^?1, respectively. The effects of alkyl substituents on silicon atom are discussed. Changes of thermodynamic functions, equilibrium constant, and reaction rate constant were calculated in accordance with Eyring transition-state theory over the temperature range 400–1,500 K.     

Homogenization of layered elastoplastic composites: Theoretical results

Exact closed-form solutions are derived that completely characterize the effective behavior of a composite material made of elastic-perfectly plastic parallel plane layers perfectly bonded together. The derivation is framed within a rigorous theory of homogenization for elastoplastic composites, and based on the fundamental fact that the in-plane part of the strain tensor and the out-of-plane part of the stress tensor are uniform throughout the composite provided no free-edge effects occur. The obtained expressions are coordinate-free and valid in the general anisotropic case. As an example, a layered composite material with isotropic constituents is examined in detail.     

Discontinuous crack-bridging model for fracture toughness analysis of nacre

Studying the structure–property relation of biological materials can not only provide insight into the physical mechanisms underlying their superior properties and functions but also benefit the design and fabrication of advanced biomimetic materials. In this paper, we present a microstructure-based fracture mechanics model to investigate the toughening effect due to the crack-bridging mechanism of platelets. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates the crucial contribution of this mechanism to the high toughness of nacre. It is found that the fracture toughness of nacre exhibits distinct dependence on the sizes of platelets, and the optimized ranges for the thickness and length of platelets required to achieve higher fracture toughness are given. In addition, the effects of such factors as the mechanical properties of the organic phase (or interfaces), the effective elastic modulus of nacre, and the stacking pattern of platelets are also examined. Finally, some guidelines for the biomimetic design of novel materials are proposed based on our theoretical analysis.     

H^＋注入锗酸铋晶体表面层的性质

Ｈ＾＋注入锗酸铋（Ｂｉ４Ｇｅ３Ｏ１２或ＢＧＯ）晶体引起某些效应，如辐射损伤，光学吸收和近表层区域的晶体分解。经Ｈ＾＋注入后，ＢＧＯ晶体的颜色变成棕色，但实验中证实不了该变化是由色心的产生所引起。此外，实验中也示观察到Ｈ＾＋注入ＢＧＯ晶体中有离子束诱发的光学活性变化。可见在注入过程中，未发生从Ｂｉ４Ｇｅ３Ｏ１２转变到Ｂｉ１２ＧｅＯ２０的结构相变，由此预见，注入过程中可能发生离子束引起的晶体分解。Ｈ＾     

On the ε-expansion procedure in the RNG theory of turbulence

Rescaling the equations of eliminating small scales, the physical justification for the-expansion procedure in the RNG theory of turbulence is proposed, in terms of that the inertial effects are small comparing with the viscous effects at the vicinity of the Kolmogorov dissipation wavenumber.We are grateful to Professor Chao-Hao Gu for numerous helpful suggestions. We would also like to acknowledge Professor Ke-Lin Wang and Bing-Hong Wang for many stimulating discussions of these problems.

相位—啁啾调控对高次谐波光谱的影响

理论研究了在激光相位和啁啾调控共同影响下高次谐波光谱的变化。结果表明：当激光相位为0时,一阶啁啾调控使谐波能量延伸。二阶啁啾调控会呈现高强度谐波平台区。当激光相位为0.5π时,一阶啁啾调控可以获得连续平台区,但是强度较弱。在二阶啁啾调控下,谐波能量得到明显增大。通过谐波时频分析给出了不同激光波形下产生高次谐波光谱的原因。     

多周期激光相位对H2+谐波频移的影响

理论研究了多周期激光相位角对H2+谐波频移的影响。结果表明,在多周期激光驱动下H2+谐波光谱在零相位时呈现蓝移现象。随着激光相位增大,谐波光谱由蓝移转向红移。随着激光相位进一步增大,谐波红移减弱。理论分析表明谐波频移是由激光上升和下降区域谐波辐射强度变化引起的。并且谐波辐射强度变化对激光相位比较敏感。
