采用AlOOH/Sr(NO3)2/SiO2/Eu复合胶体喷雾工艺制备了D50=3.83μm球形Sr2Al2SiO7∶Eu2 梯次结构荧光粉。复合胶体喷雾过程形成雾滴,雾滴中纳米粒子组分在表面张力及毛细管力作用下自组装形成梯次结构干凝胶粉。干凝胶粉经1300℃灼烧得到梯次结构Sr2Al2SiO7∶Eu2 荧光粉。X射线衍射(XRD)分析及晶格常量计算结果表明,Eu2 离子部分取代Sr2 格位进入Sr2Al2SiO7晶格。Sr2Al2SiO7∶Eu2 荧光体激发谱由峰值位于326 nm附近的宽带构成,属于Eu2 的4f→5d跃迁吸收带;发射光谱峰值波长位于约500 nm处,属于Eu2 离子4f65d到4f7跃迁导致的宽带发射。     

Eu(III)在北山花岗岩上的吸附作用

用电位滴定法研究了甘肃北山花岗岩(BS03,600m)的酸、碱性质,用批式法研究了Eu(III)在该花岗岩上的吸附行为.实验结果表明:在离子强度I=0.1M的NaCl溶液中,北山花岗岩的pHPZNPC为9.4,当I增大至0.4M时,pHPZNPC为9.0.不同离子强度下花岗岩的电位滴定曲线与类似条件下蒙脱石的相仿.Eu(III)在北山花岗岩上的吸附分配比(Kd)随pH、离子强度和Eu(III)浓度的变化而变化.在低pH范围,Eu(III)的Kd值随离子强度的增大显著减小,而在高pH值范围,离子强度对Kd的影响甚微.用模型定量解释了Eu(III)在北山花岗岩上的吸附随pH、离子强度和Eu(III)浓度而变化的实验数据,该模型包含Eu3+与花岗岩发生的阳离子交换反应以及Eu(III)与花岗岩表面羟基发生两个内层表面配合反应(inner-sphere surface complexation reactions).用所建模型对离子强度为0.1M时Eu(III)在北山花岗岩上的吸附行为作了预测,并与文献报道的类似条件下Am(III)在北山花岗岩上的吸附实验数据作了比较.     

Synthesis of amphiphilic tri-block copolymerpoly(vinylpyrrolidone)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(vinylpyrrolidone) for the modification of polyethersulfone membrane

Well-defined amphiphilic tri-block copolymer PVP-b-PMMA-b-PVP was prepared for the first time via successive reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization using carboxyl-terminated trithiocarbonate as the RAFT agent.The structure of the copolymer was characterized using FTIR,GPC and ~1H NMR.The block copolymer could be directly blended with polyethersulfone(PES) as a macromolecule additive using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP) as the solvent to prepare membranes. The water contact angles for the modified membranes decreased obviously,and therefore,the protein adsorption amount on the membrane surface decreased.     

Radical cation salts induced domino reaction of anilines with enol ethers:Synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives

A domino reaction of anilines with cyclic and acyclic enol ethers induced by catalytic amounts of TBPA^·+（5 mol%） was investigated and a series of 2,4-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines were synthesized.Different from cyclic enol ethers, when acyclic enol ethers were used in the reaction,they serve as surrogates of acetaldehyde,producing a series of 2-methyl-4- anilino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines.A single electron transfer mechanism was proposed to rationalize the products formation.     

Chiral metal-containing ionic liquid:Synthesis and applications in the enantioselective cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides

A series of novel chiral metal-containing ionic liquids(CMILs) consisting of the cation of crown ether-chelated potassium/sodium and the anion of chiral amino acids were designed and synthesized.These new CMILs were used to catalyze the enantioselective cycloaddition of epoxides and carbon dioxide incorporating with the salenCo(OOCCCl3) to generate corresponding chiral cyclic carbonates under mild conditions.These new catalysts can be recycled at least five times without significant loss of activity and ena...     

A TOF-PET prototype with position sensitive PMT readout

A prototype of time-of-flight positron emission computed tomography (TOF-PET) has been developed for acquiring the coincident detection of 511 keV γ-rays produced from positron annihilation. It consists of two 80.5 mm×80.5 mm LYSO scintillator arrays (composed of 35×35 pixel finger crystals) with the position sensitive photomultiplier tubes R2487 as the readout. Each array is composed of 2 mm×2 mm×15 mm finger crystals and the average pixel pitch is 2.30 mm. The measured results indicate that the TOF information has the potential to significantly enhance the image quality by improving the noise variance in the image reconstruction. The best spatial resolution (FWHM) of the prototype for the pairs of 511 keV γ-rays is 1.98 mm and 2.16 mm in the x and y directions, respectively, which are smaller than the average pixel pitch of 2.30 mm.     

Thermal analysis of DTL in the SSC-LINAC

A linear accelerator as a new injector for the Separated Sector Cyclotron at the Heavy Ion Research Facility of LAN Zhou is being designed. The Drift-Tube-Linac (DTL) has been designed to accelerate ²³⁸U³⁴⁺ from 0.140 MeV/u to 0.97 MeV/u [1]. The 3D finite element analysis of thermal behavior is presented in this paper. During operation, the cavity will produce Joule heat. The cavity will not work normally due to the high temperature and thermal deformation will lead to frequency drift. So it is necessary to perform thermal analysis to ensure the correct working temperature is used. The result of the analysis shows that after the water cooling system is put into the cavity the temperature rise is about 20 degrees and the frequency drift is about 0.15%.     

Performance of the low pressure MWPCs for f ission fragments under a high background

Two couples of low pressure multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPC) were located in the target chamber to detect fission fragments in a hypernuclei producing experiment at Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (Jlab). In the experiment, a continuous wave (CW) electron beam was applied to form hypernuclei by electromagnetic interaction. In the target chamber, the high energy (1.853 GeV) and high intensity (500 nA) primary electron beam caused a high particle background, which influenced the detection of the fission fragments. This report described the design of the MWPCs and studied the fission-fragment detecting performance of them under such a high background. The efficiency of the MWPCs was given with the help of a high resolution kaon spectrometer. At the same time, the background particles were discussed with a Monte Carlo code based on GEANT4.     

Preliminary design and simulation of a 162.5 MHz high-intensity proton RFQ for an accelerator driven system

A new procedure for the design and simulation of a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator has been developed at the Argonne National Laboratory. This procedure is integrated with the beam dynamics design code DESRFQ and the simulation code TRACK, which are based on three-dimensional field calculations and the particle-in-cell mode beam dynamics simulations. This procedure has been applied to the development of a 162.5 MHz CW RFQ which is capable of delivering a 10 mA proton beam for the Accelerator Driven System (ADS) of the CAS. The simulation results show that this RFQ structure is characterized by the stable values of the beam acceleration efficiency for both the zero current beam and space charge dominated beam. For an average beam current of 10 mA, there is no transverse rms emittance growth, the longitudinal rms emittance at the exit of RFQ is low enough and there is no halo formation. The beam accelerated in the RFQ could be accepted easily and smoothly by the following super-conducting linear accelerator.
