Soft X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering spectroscopy below 100 eV: probing first‐row transition‐metal M‐edges in chemical complexes

X‐ray absorption and scattering spectroscopies involving the 3d transition‐metal K‐ and L‐edges have a long history in studying inorganic and bioinorganic molecules. However, there have been very few studies using the M‐edges, which are below 100 eV. Synchrotron‐based X‐ray sources can have higher energy resolution at M‐edges. M‐edge X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering (RIXS) could therefore provide complementary information to K‐ and L‐edge spectroscopies. In this study, M_2,3‐edge XAS on several Co, Ni and Cu complexes are measured and their spectral information, such as chemical shifts and covalency effects, are analyzed and discussed. In addition, M_2,3‐edge RIXS on NiO, NiF₂ and two other covalent complexes have been performed and different d–d transition patterns have been observed. Although still preliminary, this work on 3d metal complexes demonstrates the potential to use M‐edge XAS and RIXS on more complicated 3d metal complexes in the future. The potential for using high‐sensitivity and high‐resolution superconducting tunnel junction X‐ray detectors below 100 eV is also illustrated and discussed.

Performance characteristics of single photon pulse ranging system using Monte Carlo simulation

Single photon pulse ranging system with extremely high sensitivity has been widely used in distance measurement and 3D imaging. To analyze the factors that affect the measurement precision and accuracy will help to improve system performance. According to system structure and principle, we mainly discussed the following factors: laser intensity, pulse width, detection efficiency and time jitter. A simulation model based on Monte Carlo stochastic method was constructed in this paper, and we get the specific influence of factors on measurement precision and accuracy by simulation. Finally, we set up laboratory experiment system and took effective experiments on ranging precision and accuracy.     

Effects of Soret diffusion on the laminar flame speed and Markstein length of syngas/air mixtures

The effects of Soret diffusion on premixed syngas/air flames at normal and elevated temperatures and pressures are investigated numerically including detailed chemistry and transport. The emphasis is placed on assessing and interpreting the influence of Soret diffusion on the unstretched and stretched laminar flame speed and Markstein length of syngas/air mixtures. The laminar flame speed and Markstein length are obtained by simulating the unstretched planar flame and positively-stretched spherical flame, respectively. The results indicate that at atmospheric pressure the laminar flame speed of syngas/air is mainly reduced by Soret diffusion of H radical while the influence of H₂ Soret diffusion is negligible. This is due to the facts that the main reaction zone and the Soret diffusion for H radical (H₂) are strongly (weakly) coupled, and that Soret diffusion reduces the H concentration in the reaction zone. Because of the enhancement in the Soret diffusion flux of H radical, the influence of Soret diffusion on the laminar burning flux increases with the initial temperature and pressure. Unlike the results at atmospheric pressure, at elevated pressures the laminar flame speed is shown to be affected by the Soret diffusion of H₂ as well as H radical. For stretched spherical flame, it is shown that the Soret diffusion of both H and H₂ should be included so that the stretched flame speed can be accurately predicted. Similar to the laminar flame speed, the Markstein length is also reduced by Soret diffusion. However, the reduction is found to be mainly caused by Soret diffusion of H₂ rather than that of H radical. Moreover, the influence of Soret diffusion on the Markstein length is demonstrated to decrease with the initial temperature and pressure.

Non-Gaussian water diffusion kurtosis imaging of prostate cancer

Purpose

To evaluate the non-Gaussian water diffusion properties of prostate cancer (PCa) and determine the diagnostic performance of diffusion kurtosis (DK) imaging for distinguishing PCa from benign tissues within the peripheral zone (PZ), and assessing tumor lesions with different Gleason scores.

Materials and Methods

Nineteen patients who underwent diffusion weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging using multiple b-values and were pathologically confirmed with PCa were enrolled in this study. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was derived using a monoexponential model, while diffusion coefficient (D) and kurtosis (K) were determined using a DK model. Differences between the ADC, D and K values of benign PZ and PCa, as well as those of tumor lesions with Gleason scores of 6, 7 and ≥ 8 were assessed. Correlations between parameters D and K in PCa were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. ADC, D and K values were correlated with Gleason scores of 6, 7 and ≥ 8, respectively.

Results

ADC and D values were significantly (p < 0.001) lower in PCa (0.79 ± 0.14 μm²/ms and 1.56 ± 0.23 μm²/ms, respectively) compared to benign PZ (1.23 ± 0.19 μm²/ms and 2.54 ± 0.24 μm²/ms, respectively). K values were significantly (p < 0.001) greater in PCa (0.96 ± 0.20) compared to benign PZ (0.59 ± 0.08). D and K showed fewer overlapping values between benign PZ and PCa compared to ADC. There was a strong negative correlation between D and K values in PCa (Pearson correlation coefficient r = − 0.729; p < 0.001). ADC and K values differed significantly in tumor lesions with Gleason scores of 6, 7 and ≥ 8 (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively), although no significant difference was detected for D values (p = 0.325). Significant correlations were found between the ADC value and Gleason score (r = − 0.828; p < 0.001), as well as the K value and Gleason score (r = 0.729; p < 0.001).

Conclusion

DK model may add value in PCa detection and diagnosis. K potentially offers a new metric for assessment of PCa.
