Studies on the structural unit and suspending terminal groups in the quasi-one-dimensional periodic system

Quasi-one-dimensional periodic systems were investigated by the new proposed extrapolation method. The effect of the selection of the different structural units and their spin states on the periodic system was also studied. A quantum chemical calculation investigation of a 28 quasi-one-dimensional periodic system with MNDO (UHF ) and EHMO /ASED –EHCO /ASED was undertaken. Quantum chemical calculation results with the MNDO (UHF ) method showed that the proposed new method could be applied in the situation of the more precise semiempirical method. The selection of the different structural units and their spin states do not affect the extrapolated structural unit energy. The energy of suspending terminal group is generally higher for those with a higher bond order. The interaction energy between the suspending terminal groups generally decreases with the chain length. Comparison between the extrapolation results of EHMO /ASED and those from the crystal orbital calculation of EHCO /ASED indicates their equivalence, thus confirming the validity of the proposed method. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Solid-state 13C NMR characterization of molecular orientation of hot drawn nylon 6

Two-dimensional cross polarization (CP), magic angle spinning (MAS) rotor synchronization NMR spectroscopy has been used to determine quantitatively the molecular orientational distribution function on hot-drawn Nylon 6. Both films and fibers are studied that had been thermally deformed at temperature above T_g, from 60 to 175°C at draw ratios in the range of 1-5.5. In the two-dimensional NMR spectrum, the sidebands that intrinsically originate from the chemical shift anisotropy reveal the degree of molecular orientational order. No preferential orientational order is detected for the sample without thermal deformation, and the highest degree of order is observed for samples which have been hot drawn above T_g at ratios ca. 5. Based on the aggregate model the maximum achievable order parameters are determined. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Thermal conductivity of NbSe3

The thermal conductivity, κ, of NbSe₃ has been measured by novel self-heating techniques that allowed the electric field dependence of κ to also be measured. Measurements were made from 35 K to room temperature. Above the charge density wave transitions, the phonon thermal conductivity is 4–7 times the electron thermal conductivity, and it rises smoothly below the transitions, indicating that phonon-phonon scattering predominates. Phonon mean free parths have been estimated at 187 A° at 60 K and 60 A° at 150 K. No clear anomalies were observed at the phase transitions, giving upper limits to changes in the phonon mean free path. No field dependence of κ was observed.     

Study of a magnetic alloy-loaded RF cavity for bunch compression at the CSR

The Heavy Ion Research Facility and Cooling Storage Ring(HIRFL-CSR)accelerator in Lanzhou offers a unique possibility for the generation of high density and short pulse heavy ion beams by non-adiabatic bunch compression longitudinally,which is implemented by a fast jump of the RF-voltage amplitude.For this purpose,an RF cavity with high electric field gradient loaded with Magnetic Alloy cores has been developed.The results show that the resonant frequency range of the single-gap RF cavity is from 1.13 MHz to 1.42 MHz,and a maximum RF voltage of 40 kV with a total length of 100 cm can be obtained,which can be used to compress heavy ion beams of 238U72+ with 250 MeV/u from the initial bunch length of 200 ns to 50 ns with the coaction of the two single-gap RF cavity mentioned above.     

Iterations of anti-selfdual Lagrangians and applications to Hamiltonian systems and multiparameter gradient flows

Anti-selfdual Lagrangians on a state space lift to path space provided one adds a suitable selfdual boundary Lagrangian. This process can be iterated by considering the path space as a new state space for the newly obtained anti-selfdual Lagrangian. We give here two applications for these remarkable permanence properties. In the first, we establish for certain convex–concave Hamiltonians on a–possibly infinite dimensional–symplectic space H ², the existence of a solution for the Hamiltonian system that connects in a given time T > 0, two Lagrangian submanifolds. Another application deals with the construction of multiparameter flows, including those generated by vector fields that represent superpositions of skew-adjoint operators with gradients of convex potentials. Our methods are based on the new variational calculus for anti-selfdual Lagrangians developed in [5–7].     

Quinoline-based molecular clips for selective fluorescent detection of Zn2+

New selective Zn2+ fluorescent sensors, di(2-quinoline-carbaldehyde)-2,2'-bibenzoyl-hydrazone (QB1) and di(2-quinolinecarbaldehyde)-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid hydrazone-2,2'-bipyridine (QB2), have been designed and prepared. Both QB sensors exhibit an emission band centered at 405 nm (excitation at 350 nm) with low quantum yield. Zinc binding not only red-shifts the emission band to 500 nm, but also enhances the fluorescence intensity by an order of magnitude based on the deprotonization strategy via self-assembly. These probes are highly selective for Zn2+ over biologically relevant alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and the first row transition metals such as Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ in buffered aqueous DMSO solution.     

Inverse problems with partial data for a Dirac system: A Carleman estimate approach

We prove that the material parameters in a Dirac system with magnetic and electric potentials are uniquely determined by measurements made on a possibly small subset of the boundary. The proof is based on a combination of Carleman estimates for first and second order systems, and involves a reduction of the boundary measurements to the second order case. For this reduction a certain amount of decoupling is required. To effectively make use of the decoupling, the Carleman estimates are established for coefficients which may become singular in the asymptotic limit.     

Stability Estimates for Coefficients of Magnetic Schrödinger Equation from Full and Partial Boundary Measurements

In this paper we establish a log log-type estimate which shows that in dimension n ≥ 3 the magnetic field and the electric potential of the magnetic Schrödinger equation depends stably on the Dirichlet to Neumann (DN) map even when the boundary measurement is taken only on a subset that is slightly larger than half of the boundary ?Ω – a notion made more precise later. Furthermore, we prove that in the case when the measurement is taken on all of ?Ω one can establish a better estimate that is of log-type.
