Separation of spin angular momentum in space-variant linearly polarized beam

We show that the spin angular momentum (SAM) flux in a space-variant linearly polarized beam can be separated in the focal plane. Such a beam carries only orbital angular momentum (OAM) and develops a net SAM flux upon focusing. The radial splitting of the SAM flux density is mediated by the phase vortex (or OAM) and can be controlled by the topological charge of the phase vortex. Optical trapping experiments verify the separation of the SAM flux density. The proposed approach enriches the manipulation of the angular momentum of light fields and inspires more designs of focus engineering, which would benefit optical micromanipulation of microscopic particles.     

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of magnetic samarium-doped mesoporous titanium dioxide at the decomposition of methylene blue under visible light

Preparation of samarium-doped mesoporous titanium dioxide (Sm/MTiO₂) coated magnetite (Fe₃O₄) photocatalysts (Sm/MTiO₂/Fe₃O₄) and their activities under visible light were reported. The catalysts with Sm/MTiO₂ shell and a Fe₃O₄ core were prepared by coating photoactive Sm/MTiO₂ onto a magnetic Fe₃O₄ core through the hydrolysis of tetrabutyltitanate (Ti(OBu)₄, TBT) with precursors of Sm(NO₃)₃ and TBT in the presence of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. The morphological, structural and optical properties of the prepared samples were characterized by BET surface area, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The effect of Sm ion content on the photocatalytic activity was studied. The photocatalytic activities of obtained photocatalysts under visible light were estimated by measuring the decomposition rate of methylene blue (MB, 50 mg/L) in an aqueous solution. The results showed that the prepared photocatalyst was activated by visible light and used as effective catalyst in photooxidation reactions. In addition, the possibility of cyclic usage of the prepared photocatalyst was also confirmed. Moreover, Sm/MTiO₂ was tightly bound to Fe₃O₄ and could be easily recovered from the medium by a simple magnetic process. It can therefore be potentially applied for the treatment of water contaminated by organic pollutants.     

Photocatalytic Activity of Fe and Ce Co‐doped Mesoporous TiO2 Catalyst under UV and Visible Light

The catalysts of un‐doped, single‐doped and co‐doped mesoporous titanium dioxide (MTiO₂) were prepared by a template method with tetrabutyltitanate (Ti(OC₄H₉)₄) as a Ti source material and Pluronic P123 as a template. The photo‐absorbance of the obtained catalysts was measured by UV‐vis absorption spectroscopy, and the photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples under UV and visible light were estimated by measuring the degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) (50 mg/L) in an aqueous solution. It was shown that the co‐doped MTiO₂ could be activated by visible light and could thus be used as an effective catalyst in photo‐oxidation reactions. The effect of Fe and Ce co‐dopants on the material properties was investigated by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N₂ adsorption‐desorption isotherm measurement. The characterizations indicated that the photocatalysts possessed a homogeneous pore diameter of ca. 10 nm with high surface area of ca. 150 m²/g. The photocatalytic activity of MTiO₂ co‐doped with Fe and Ce was markedly improved due to the synergistic actions of the two dopants.

Radical copolymerization of maleimide with ethyl α‐ethylacrylate and α‐ethylacrylic acid via RAFT

The copolymerization of maleimide (MI) with α‐ethylacrylic acid (EAA) and with ethyl α‐ethylacrylate (EEA) in the presence of 2‐phenylprop‐2‐yl dithiobenzoate (PPDB) was investigated. The copolymerization of MI and EAA was difficult to conduct with the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mechanism because reinitiation of expelled radicals by fragmentation chain transfer was inhibited by the association of EAA in polar solvent and the strong interaction of the imino of MI with the carboxyl of EAA between the propagation chains. When the carboxylic group of EAA was esterified, then the copolymerization went well via RAFT, and alternating copolymers with controlled molecular weight were obtained. Combining by electron spin resonance showed a different result. It was found that before 30% of the comonomer conversion had occurred, the copolymer poly(EEA‐co‐MI) showed increasing molecular weight with the conversion and a rather narrow molecular weight distribution; then the molecular weight of the copolymer began to retard. This phenomenon of retardation was aggravated at high temperature. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 3828–3835, 2004     

On S-Shaped Bifurcation Curves for a Class of Perturbed Semilinear Equations

By making use of bifurcation analysis and continuation method, the authors discuss the exact number of positive solutions for a class of perturbed equations. The nonlinearities concerned are the so-called convex-concave functions and their behaviors may be asymptotic sublinear or asymptotic linear. Moreover, precise global bifurcation diagrams are obtained.
