大模场面积光子晶体光纤激光器展宽脉冲锁模域的束缚态运转

实验研究了大模面积光子晶体光纤飞秒激光器在近零色散点展宽脉冲锁模的束缚态运转.获得了双脉冲束缚态锁模,以及脉冲间隔不相等的多脉冲束缚态锁模,实验发现束缚态的子脉冲间距具有随机性.通过建立光纤锁模激光器的数值模型,分析了激光器束缚态锁模建立的动力学过程,在一定抽运强度下,激光器存在多个稳态,或者单脉冲运转,或者子脉冲间隔不相等的束缚态运转,这取决于锁模建立阶段半导体可饱和吸收镜(SESAM)对噪声信号的随机提取.并提出了抑制束缚态的方法,模拟得出此项技术可直接获得的最大单脉冲能量为19.6 nJ,考虑到40%左右的压缩损耗,可得到压缩至76 fs的最短脉冲,单脉冲能量为11.8 nJ.数值模拟结果能很好的与实验相符合.     

Improved Synthesis and Structure of 3-Carboxy-2-pyrazinecarbohydroxamic Acid

3-Carboxy-2-pyrazinehydroxamic acid was prepared by a one pot reaction starting from pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride with a high yield, and characterized by IR, Mass spectrum, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group Pī with a=4.8659(10), b=7.4233(15), c=11.602(2), α=96.904(2), β=92.422(3), γ=107.454(2)°, V=395.51(14)3 , Z=2, Dc=1.689g/cm3 , F(000)=208, μ(MoKα)=0.149 mm-1 , the final R=0.0473 and wR=0.1306 for 2853 observed reflections (I>2σ (I)). A three-dimensional framework was assembled through intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water and 3-carboxy-2-pyrazine-carbohydroxamic acid molecules.     

Pathways of liquefied petroleum gas pyrolysis in hydrogen plasma:A density functional theory study

A density functional theory(DFT) study has been conducted in this work to investigate the pyrolysis pathways of propane and n-butane,which are the main components of liquefied petroleum gas(LPG),for better understanding the pyrolysis behavior of LPG in hydrogen thermal plasma. Over 60 possible reactions are considered.The reaction enthalpies and activation energies of these reactions are calculated and analyzed with a Gaussian method of B3LYP and basic set of 6-31G(d,p).A most possible reaction pathway is brought up.According to this reaction pathway, the main products of LPG pyrolysis are acetylene,ethylene,methane,ethane and extra hydrogen.Acetylene mainly comes from the pyrolysis of propylene and ethylene,and hydrogen ion reactions are the main source of extra hydrogen gas.Active H·radicals are found to play a very important role in many reactions,and they can remarkably lower the energies needed for reactions.     

Comparison of the growth and degradation of poly(glycolic acid) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) brushes

The growth and degradation of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) brushes were compared. Using tin (octanoate) as the catalyst, optimal conditions were found for growth of each polyester brush from the hydroxy‐terminated silicon surface via ring‐opening polymerization. PCL brushes grew thicker at elevated temperatures but the thickest PGA brushes grew at room temperature. Unlike bulk polyesters that can degrade under both acidic and basic conditions, the confined surface polyester brushes only degraded under neutral or basic conditions. The degradation mechanism of grafted polyester brushes was probed through a blocking test. It was shown that the terminal hydroxy groups of these polyester brushes were essential to the degradation process indicating a preferential backbiting mechanism. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

An environmentally benign benzylic oxidation catalyzed by hypervalent iodine intermediate in water

An effective and environmentally benign benzylic oxidation for transition of alkylarenes into the corresponding carbonyl compounds was reported.Alkylarenes were mixed and stirred with potassium bromide,m-chloroperbenzoic acid and a catalytic amount of iodobenzene in water at 60 8C for several hours,a series of the corresponding carbonyl compounds was obtained in moderate to good yields.In the reaction,iodobenzene was first oxidized by m-chloroperbenzoic acid into the hypervalent iodine intermediate which then reacted with potassium bromide to form the key radical initiator for the benzylic oxidation.     

Pyrrole alkaloids from <Emphasis Type=Italic>Alhagi sparsifolia</Emphasis>

The novel pyrrole alkaloid alhagifoline A (1) together with the two known analogs pyrrolezanthine (2) and pyrrolezanthine-6-methyl ether (3) were isolated from the aerial part of Alhagi sparsifolia. Their structures were established based on spectral (HR-ESI-MS, ¹ H and ¹³C NMR, ¹ H–¹ H COSY, HSQC, HMBC) data. Compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from the genus Alhagi for the first time.     

Existence of Surface Waves and Band Gaps in Periodic Heterogeneous Half-spaces

We find a sufficient condition for the existence of surface (Rayleigh) waves based on the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method. When specialized to a homogeneous half-space, the sufficient condition recovers the known criterion for the existence of subsonic surface waves. A simple existence criterion in terms of material properties is obtained for periodic half-spaces of general anisotropic materials. Further, we numerically compute the dispersion relation of the surface waves for a half-space of periodic laminates of two materials and demonstrate the existence of surface wave band gaps.
