Insights into the nature of X(3872) through B meson decays

We study the \begin{document}$ B_{c,u,d}\to X(3872)P $\end{document} decays in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, involving the puzzling resonance \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document}, where P represents a light pseudoscalar meson (K or π). Assuming \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document} to be a \begin{document}$ 1^{++} $\end{document} charmonium state, we obtain the following results. (a) The branching ratios of the \begin{document}$ B^+_c\to X(3872)\pi^+ $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ B^+_c\to X(3872) K^+ $\end{document} decays are consistent with the results predicted by the covariant light-front approach within errors; however, they are larger than those given by the generalized factorization approach. (b) The branching ratio of the \begin{document}$ B^+\to X(3872)K^+ $\end{document} decay is predicted as \begin{document}$ (3.8^{+1.1}_{-1.0})\times10^{-4} $\end{document}, which is smaller than the previous PQCD calculation result but still slightly larger than the upper limits set by Belle and BaBar. Hence, we suggest that the\begin{document}$ B^{0,+}\to X(3872)K^{0,+} $\end{document} decays should be precisely measured by the LHCb and Belle II experiments to help probe the inner structure of \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document}. (c) Compared with the \begin{document}$ B_{u,d}\to X(3872)K $\end{document}decays, the \begin{document}$ B_{u,d}\to X(3872)\pi $\end{document} decays have significantly smaller branching ratios, which drop to values as low as \begin{document}$ 10^{-6} $\end{document}. (d) The direct CP violations of these considered decays are small (\begin{document}$ 10^{-3}\sim 10^{-2} $\end{document}) because the penguin contributions are loop suppressed compared to the tree contributions. The mixing-induced CP violation of the \begin{document}$ B\to X(3872)K^0_S $\end{document} decay is highly consistent with the current world average value \begin{document}$ \sin2\beta=(69.9\pm1.7)$\end{document}%. Experimentally testing the results for the branching ratios and CP violations, including the implicit \begin{document}$S U(3)$\end{document} and isospin symmetries of these decays, helps probe the nature of \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document}.

Effects of metal oxides on intumescent flame‐retardant polypropylene

Variable amounts of transition metal oxides (MO), such as MnO₂, ZnO, Ni₂O₃, etc., were incorporated into blends of polypropylene (PP)/ammonium polyphosphate (APP)/dipentaerythritol (DPER) with the aim of studying and comparing their effects with main‐group MO on intumescent flame retardance (IFR). The PP/IFR/MO composites were prepared using a twin‐screw extruder, and the IFR behavior was evaluated through oxygen index and vertical burning tests. The progressive enhancement of flame retardancy has proved to be strongly associated with the interaction between APP and MO. With the aid of thermogravimetry (TG) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and scanning electron microscopy, Ni₂O₃ has been shown to be the most effective among the aforementioned three MO. The flame‐retardant mechanism of the IFR system is also discussed in terms of catalytic charring, which relates to complex formation through the d‐orbitals of the transition metal elements. It is considered that the melt viscosity of a PP/APP/DPER blend containing Ni₂O₃ corresponds well to the gas release with increasing temperature. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of Dioxygen on Small Pt-Pd Clusters

1 INTRODUCTION The bimetallic nanoclusters are of standing inte- rest since they can exhibit catalytic, electronic and optical properties distinct from those of corre- sponding pure nanoclusters[1～4]. Palladium and pla- tinum, well known for their catalytic properties, are often used as the catalyst in different fuel cells[5～8]. Several experimental results illustrate that for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is one of the primary reactions taking place in many fuel cells and…     

Orientation control of perovskite thin films on glass substrates by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets

Orientation control of perovskite compounds was investigated by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets. An aqueous suspension of oxide nanosheets was prepared by the exfoliation of a layered compound of KCa₂Nb₃O₁₀ oxide grains. A seed layer composed of (TBA)Ca₂Nb₃O₁₀ nanosheets (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) was formed on a glass substrate by simply dip coating it in the suspension. Two kinds of perovskite compounds, LaNiO₃ (LNO) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) with a preferred orientation of (00l) were successfully grown on this seeded glass substrate. In this study, the relation between lattice mismatch and electrical properties is investigated. A large, oriented PZT film with a size of 5 ×4 cm shows an improved P-E hysteresis behavior by use of this orientation control.     

Effect of additives on the stereochemical integrity and reactivity of alpha-alkoxycarbonyl alkenylcopper intermediates. Optimal conditions for the synthesis of isomerically pure tetrasubstituted alkenes

A systematic study on the effect of additives on the isomerizability of 1-alkoxycarbonyl alkenylcopper(I) intermediates revealed that the lithium chelator 12-crown-4 is significantly more efficient than HMPA at retarding isomerization. On the other hand, 12-crown-4 alone is unable to promote effective coupling with alkyl halides. The combination of 12-crown-4 and a reduced amount of HMPA, however, led to an improved procedure for the preparation of useful, isomerically pure tetrasubstituted alkenes such as allylation reagents and skipped dienes.     

Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) for phosphodiesterase (PDE) IV inhibitors

A comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) for phosphodiesterase (PDE) IV inhibitors has been performed to correlate their chemical structures with their observed biological activity. In this study, CoMFA model based on docking mode for active site of PDE IV can describe the relative change in magnitude of the steric and electrostatic fields as a function of the compounds. Pyridine N-oxide and pyridine group of each compound are aligned toward the metal ion in S2-sub pocket of PDE IV. The study provided a statistically valid model with good correlation and predictive power, and consequently we identified some key features that may be used to design new derivatives.
