Coordination Chemistry of Lanthanides at “High” pH: Synthesis and Structure of the Pentadecanuclear Complex of Europium(III) with Tyrosine

A five-coordinate chloride ion is believed to template the assembly of a pentadecanuclear lanthanide complex of europium(III ). This cluster (see picture) has been prepared by coordination of europium(III ) perchlorate with tyrosine at about pH 6. Single crystal X-ray analysis established an unprecedented structure in which 15 constituent europium(III ) ions are organized into three parallel pentagonal layers.     

Ultrafast Saturable Absorption of Core/Shell Colloidal Quantum Dots

Ultrafast saturable absorption (SA) materials that are capable of blocking the optical absorption under strong excitation have extensive applications in photonic devices. This work presents core/shell colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) which have the quantized energy levels, excellent band gap tunability, and possess significant SA performance. When the band gap is close to the pump pulse energy, the CQDs show significant resonant SA response. At the same excitation conditions, the core/shell CQDs dispersions show better SA response than graphene dispersions, and comparable to the recently reported molybdenum disulfide. The carrier dynamics of the SA of the CQDs is analyzed systematically. The research has also found that the two‐photon absorption of the CQDs show nearly cubic power law of the band gap, while the SA performance keeps almost the same in the nonresonant regime. Further, superior passive Q‐switched laser behavior is observed using the CQDs as a saturable absorber. The results directly reveal the physical processes of this basic problem and broaden the applications of CQDs in photonic devices.     

Sine Hollow Solitons and Breathers in Nonlocal Media

The nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NNLSE) describes the propagation dynamics of optical beams in nonlinear media with a spatial nonlocal response. Based on NNLSE, we obtain the generalized sine hollow solitons and breathers and show that the transverse intensity evolutions of them are always periodical. However, if the incident power takes a critical value, the beam width can remain invariant during the propagation, just like the solitons. Otherwise, the beam width varies periodically, just like the breathers. We investigate the evolution characteristics for both cases analytically and numerically in detail.     

橡胶弹性支座动态承载特性及其影响因素分析

基于复刚度理论,采用正交实验法,对风力发电机橡胶弹性支座进行动态性能实验,研究载荷频率、载荷幅值、预载荷诸因素对弹性支座动态性能的影响规律. 实验结果表明,橡胶材料的动态性能与载荷频率和幅值具有显著的相关性. 频率增加,橡胶弹性元件的弹性刚度和阻尼因子明显增大;幅值增加,弹性刚度减小,阻尼因子却逐渐增大. 对实验数据进行方差分析,表明载荷频率对动态性能的影响最大,其次是载荷幅值,预加载因素影响非常有限.     

Control of the switch between optical multistability and bistability in three-level V-type atoms

We theoretically investigated a hybrid absorptive-dispersive optical bistability and multistability behaviour in a three-level V-type system using a microwave field driving a hyperfine transition between two upper excited states inside a unidirectional ring cavity. We find that the intensity and the frequency detuning of the coupling field as well as the intensity of the microwave field can affect the OM behaviour dramatically, which can be used to control the transition from OM to OB or vice versa without need to resort the effect of the quantum interference. The effects of the phase, the quantum interference and the atomic cooperation parameter on the OM are also studied. Our scheme may be used for building more efficient all-optical switches and logic-gate devices for optical computing and quantum information processing.     

一种考虑静水压力和偏应力共同作用的相变临界准则

同时考虑静水压力和偏应力的影响,分别建立了“应力诱发”和“形变诱发”相变的临界准则．准则在主应力空间中给出的相变临界曲面呈现明显的拉压不对称性．在弹性阶段,偏应力对相变总是起促进作用．塑性屈服后,偏应力通过塑性功产生的温升影响相变临界面,从而对高温相到低温相转变起阻碍作用,反之起促进作用．静水压力对相变可能起促进作用,也可能起阻碍作用,取决于相变时材料的体积是膨胀还是收缩．建立的相变临界准则对准静态加载条件下的Fe-20％Ni-0．5％合金和Fe-30％Ni合金和一维应变冲击条件下的Fe-32％Ni-0．035％。C合金中的γ-α相变进行了拟合和预测,预测与实验结果有较好的吻合。在主应力空间中柱形屈服面可能与锥形相变临界面相交,从而在一定条件下将发生“形变诱发”相变和“应力诱发”相变间的转变,这一推论有待实验的验证。

Green synthesis and characterization of polymer-stabilized silver nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were synthesized using a facile green chemistry synthetic route. The reaction occurred at ambient temperature with four reducing agents introduced to obtain nanoscale Ag-NPs. The variables of the green synthetic route, such as acidity, concentration of starting materials, and molar ratio of reactants were optimized. Dispersing agents were employed to prevent Ag-NPs from aggregating. Advanced instrumentation techniques, such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), and phase analysis light scattering technique (ZetaPALS) were applied to characterize the morphology, particle size distribution, elemental composition, and electrokinetic behavior of the Ag-NPs. UV–vis spectra detected the characteristic plasmon at approximately 395–410 nm; and XRD results were indicative of face-centered cubic phase structure of Ag. These particles were found to be monodispersed and highly crystalline, displaying near-spherical appearance, with average particle size of 10.2 nm using citrate or 13.7 nm using ascorbic acid as reductants from particle size analysis by ZetaPALS, respectively. The rapid electrokinetic behavior of the Ag was evaluated using zetapotential (from −40 to −42 mV), which was highly dependant on nanoparticle acidity and particle size. The current research opens a new avenue for the green fabrication of nanomaterials (including variables optimization and aggregation prevention), and functionalization in the field of nanocatalysis, disinfection, and electronics.

A POSTERIORI ERROR ESTIMATES OF A NON-CONFORMING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR PROBLEMS WITH ARTIFICIAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

An a posteriori error estimator is obtained for a nonconforming finite element approximation of a linear elliptic problem, which is derived from a corresponding unbounded domain problem by applying a nonlocal approximate artificial boundary condition. Our method can be easily extended to obtain a class of a posteriori error estimators for various conforming and nonconforming finite element approximations of problems with different artificial boundary conditions. The reliability and efficiency of our a posteriori error estimator are rigorously proved and are verified by numerical examples.
