Vacuum ultraviolet 178.7 nm emission in sodium vapour under two-photon resonance excitation

We have observed a fixed wavelength emission at 178.7 nm in sodium vapour under 578.7 nm two-photon resonance excitation. The proposed non-linear wave mixing scheme is described by _{178.7 nm} = 2_L + _{465.7 nm}; where _178.7 is the 178.7 nm photon frequency, _L is the laser-photon frequency, and _465.7 is the 465.7 nm photon frequency. This 465.7 nm emission comes from another six-wave mixing process involving two hyper-electronic Raman scattering photons. The excitation spectrum of the 178.7 nm emission has a typical multiwave mixing pattern with a competing effect appearing at higher temperatures under two-photon resonance excitation. Numerical analysis indicates that this vacuum ultraviolet emission has a poor phase-match condition that will depress the emission intensity to a certain extent. This makes the observation more difficult compared with other reported four-wave mixing generated emissions. Fortunately, on the one hand, it is enhanced by quasi-auto-ionization resonance when the 3s–5s transition is coupled to the sodium continuum by a 330.2 nm photon. On the other hand, its wavelength sits so close to the sodium Cooper minimum that weak absorption will not suppress this vacuum ultraviolet emission further.     

Time-weighted average sampling of airborne n-valeraldehyde by a solid-phase microextration device

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) device was used as a time-weighted average sampler for n-valeraldehyde. The SPME device was first modified to improve the wearer's acceptance as a passive sampler. Then a poly(dimethylsiloxane)-divinylbenzene fiber was used and O-2,3,4,5,6-(pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBHA) was loaded onto the fiber. Vapors of known concentrations around the threshold limit values time-weighted average of n-valeraldehyde and specific relative humidities (RHs) were generated by syringe pumps in a dynamic generation system. n-Valeraldehyde vapors in gas bags were also generated. An exposure chamber was designed to allow measurement of face velocities, temperatures, exposing vapor concentrations, and RHs. Gas chromatography with flame ionization detection was used for sample analysis. The appropriate adsorption time for SPME coating PFBHA was determined to be 2 min and the desorption time for oxime formed after sampling was optimized to be 2 min. The experimental sampling constant was found to be (3.86+/-0.13) x 10(-2) cm3/min and face velocity was not expect to have effect on the sampler.     

用红外光谱研究苯乙烯-4(甲基丙烯酸)2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶醇酯共聚物的序列结构

<正> 苯乙烯(简称St)-4(甲基丙烯酸)2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶醇酯(简称MTMP)共聚物(简称PDS)是七十年代发展起来的一种新型高效光稳剂。本文用IR研究了一系列自由基聚合的PDS共聚物,找出了MTMP对序列结构敏感的吸收峰,发现MTMP的1152.5厘米~(-1)峰位置与三单元序列分布F_(SMS)值有一定线性关系,还对通过测量MTMP羰基伸缩振动ν_(C=O)峰位置来计算二单元序列分布P_(mm)的关系进行了讨论。
