An efficient method for the synthesis of gem-difluoroolefins

A series of gem-difluoroolefin derivatives were synthesized in moderate to good yields by the reaction of α,α-difluoro-β-carbonyl benzothiazol-2-yl sulfones (DFBTs) with various carbon nucleophiles. Using dl-proline as organocatalyst, the reaction of DFBT with acetone gave a tertiary alcohol, which could be further converted to the corresponding difluoroolefin by LDA.     

Optimal orientation field to manufacture magnetostrictive composites with high magnetostrictive performance

Magnetostrictive properties have relationship with the applied orientation field during the preparation of giant magnetostrictive composites. To understand the dependence of the optimal orientation field on particle volume fraction, composites with 20%, 30% and 50% particles by volume were fabricated by distributing Terfenol-D particles in an unsaturated polyester resin under various orientation fields. Their magnetostrictive properties were tested without pre-stress at room temperature. The results indicate that as the particle volume fraction increases, the optimal orientation field increases. The main reason for this phenomenon is the packing density for the composites with higher particle volume fraction is larger than that for those with lower particle content.     

Loss of atom interference due to a random phase

We suggest a model where the influence of an environment on the atom interference is associated with a random phase. The model consists of sending a two-level state atom through two cavities, both containing a standing wave field in the Bragg regime and Raman–Nath regime, respectively. In view of this model, we can visualize the loss of interference fringes if the randomness of the phase increases, and the restoration of the pattern when it decreases, as which-path information. Then, the controllable random noise acts as a decoherence that would destroy the quantum features.     

Almost periodic solutions for shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks

In this paper, shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with continuously distributed delays are considered. Without assuming the global Lipschitz conditions of activation functions, some new sufficient conditions for the existence and exponential stability of the almost periodic solutions are established.     

Investigation on cell biocompatible behaviors of polyaniline film fabricated via electroless surface polymerization

Considering for the potential application in tissue engineering, polyaniline (PANi) film was fabricated via a two-step route: a self-assembled monolayer of C₆H₅NHC₃H₆Si(OMe)₃ was firstly formed on the single-crystal Si substrate; the conducting PANi film was then prepared through electroless surface polymerization of the aniline molecules on the aniline monolayer-bearing silane surface in an acidic aqueous solution. The formation of PANi film on Si surface was confirmed by characterizations of X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) and specular reflectance Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) spectrum, etc. At last, the proliferation behaviors of PC-12 cells on the PANi film surface were studied by the [3-(4,5-dimethyldiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] (MTT) colorimetric assays, acridine orange fluorometric staining, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, etc. The results demonstrate that the as-prepared PANi film provides high ability for cell proliferation, exhibiting promising potentials as surface coating to cultivate neuronal cells for applications in the tissue engineering.     

Advances in wide bandgap SiC for optoelectronics

Silicon carbide (SiC) has played a key role in power electronics thanks to its unique physical properties like wide bandgap, high breakdown field, etc. During the past decade, SiC is also becoming more and more active in optoelectronics thanks to the progress in materials growth and nanofabrication. This paper will review the advances in fluorescent SiC for white light-emitting diodes, covering the poly-crystalline doped SiC source material growth, single crystalline epitaxy growth of fluorescent SiC, and nanofabrication of SiC to enhance the extraction efficiency for fluorescent SiC based white LEDs.     

掺杂PVK薄膜的荧光谱及电荷转移

根据PVK掺杂后荧光谱的变化，说明掺杂PVK薄膜的电致发光存在着从基质分子向掺杂分子的能量传递，用一个由单链模型扩展到包括杂质的哈密顿量进行数值求解，结果表明：在PVK和杂质分子之间有效的能量传递是源于它僮之间的电荷转移，且随着杂质浓度的变化，其荧光谱峰位的移动与掺杂前后系统总能量的改变及荧光谱强度与掺杂后转移的电荷数之间分别存在对应关系。该模型较好地解释了有关的实验结果。

Existence of homoclinic solution for the second order Hamiltonian systems

An existence theorem of homoclinic solution is obtained for a class of the nonautonomous second order Hamiltonian systems , ∀t∈R, by the minimax methods in the critical point theory, specially, the generalized mountain pass theorem, where L(t) is unnecessary uniformly positively definite for all t∈R, and W(t,x) satisfies the superquadratic condition W(t,x)/|x|²→+∞ as |x|→∞ uniformly in t, and need not satisfy the global Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.
