Structure of aqueous sodium metaborate solutions: X-ray diffraction study

A structural analysis of aqueous sodium metaborate solutions (NaBo₂ · nH₂O, n = 10, 15, 20) at 298 ± 0.5 K by a rapid liquid ??-?? X-ray diffractometry with a highly effective X??celerator detector is reported in present paper. The radial distribution functions (RDF) and theoretical partial radial distribution functions for B-O, O-O, Na-O, Na-B, and Na-Na atom pairs were obtained from precisely diffraction data processing. Structure of aqueous sodium metaborate solutions was given through model calculation and described in three different items: hydrated sodium ion, hydrated metaborate ion and ion association. Effects of concentration on the structure of the solutions were discussed in detail. The mechanisms of ion aggregation and the formation of crystal nuclei in the solution are proposed. The results show that a clear picture of the structure of aqueous sodium metaborate solution has been acquired.     

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry identification of imidacloprid photolysis products

Photolysis of imidacloprid by near ultraviolet (UV) radiation was investigated using reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS) operated in the positive ion mode. The decomposition of imidacloprid by near UV light is first order with a half life of 10.18 h. Photo-degradation products of imidacloprid identified in this study included imidacloprid urea, imidacloprid olefin, and imidacloprid desnitro. A degradation pathway is proposed for imidacloprid from an examination of the product decay curves obtained in this monitoring study which was performed in a batch test mode.

MOCVD水平式反应器中热泳力对沉积过程中反应前体浓度分布的影响分析及数值模拟

在MOCVD反应器中,针对GaN生长中的TMGa分子,推导出热泳力、热泳速度以及扩散速度的计算公式.在低温区,热泳速度大于扩散速度;在高温区则相反.影响热泳力的主要因素为温度梯度和分子直径.水平式反应器内,粒子同时受到热泳速度和扩散速度的影响.在只考虑组分输运以及包括化学反应等两种情况下,通过改变反应器上壁面温度,模拟得到水平式反应器中热泳力对沉积速率以及反应物粒子浓度分布的影响.并与文献中的实验数据对比,验证了模拟结果的正确性.结果显示,由于热泳力的影响,在相同操作条件下高温区H2等小直径粒子的质量分数增大、TMGa和NH3等大分子粒子的质量分数减小.从提高生长速率的角度,需减小上下壁面温度梯度;从沉积均匀性的角度,应使到达下游的反应粒子数增多,故需增大上下壁面温度梯度.

Molecular Simulation on Competitive Adsorption Differences of Gas with Different Pore Sizes in Coal

Micropores are the primary sites for methane occurrence in coal. Studying the regularity of methane occurrence in micropores is significant for targeted displacement and other yield-increasing measures in the future. This study used simplified graphene sheets as pore walls to construct coal-structural models with pore sizes of 1 nm, 2 nm, and 4 nm. Based on the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics theory, we simulated the adsorption characteristics of methane in pores of different sizes. The results showed that the adsorption capacity was positively correlated with the pore size for pure gas adsorption. The adsorption capacity increased with pressure and pore size for competitive adsorption of binary mixtures in pores. As the average isosteric heat decreased, the interaction between the gas and the pore wall weakened, and the desorption amount of CH₄ decreased. In ultramicropores, the high concentration of CO₂ (50–70%) is more conducive to CH₄ desorption; however, when the CO₂ concentration is greater than 70%, the corresponding CH₄ adsorption amount is meager, and the selected adsorption coefficient S_CO2/CH4 is small. Therefore, to achieve effective desorption of methane in coal micropores, relatively low pressure (4–6 MPa) and a relatively low CO₂ concentration (50–70%) should be selected in the process of increasing methane production by CO₂ injection in later stages. These research results provide theoretical support for gas injection to promote CH₄ desorption in coal pores and to increase yield.     

Parameter estimation of an asymmetric vocal-fold system from glottal area time series using chaos synchronization

In this paper, we apply an iterative parameter adaption scheme based on chaos synchronization to estimate system parameters of the asymmetric vocal folds from glottal area time series. The original asymmetric vocal-fold system associated with recurrent laryngeal paralysis shows chaotic vibrations with positive Lyapunov exponents. Aperiodic glottal area time series from the original system will be applied as the feedback variable coupling the simulative and the original vocal-fold systems. The parameter adaption technique based on chaos synchronization is employed to manipulate the simulative system parameters. The chaotic vibrations, system parameters, and the bifurcation diagram of the original vocal-fold system can be exactly reproduced in the simulative system, and the two chaotic systems can be synchronized. Furthermore, the effects of noise, sampling rate, and equation difference due to nonlinear spring terms on vocal-fold parameter estimations are investigated. Despite large noise perturbations, large equation differences, and low sampling rate, the parameter adaption scheme can effectively estimate the original vocal-fold system parameters. This study provides a theoretical base to apply chaos synchronization to estimate the vocal-fold system parameters from the glottal area data and show its potential application in laryngeal physiology.     

Experimental synchronization of independent entangled photon sources

We report the generation of independent entangled photon pairs from two synchronized but mutually incoherent laser sources. The quality of synchronization is confirmed by observing a violation of Bell's inequality with 3.2 standard deviations in an entanglement swapping experiment. The techniques developed in our experiment are not only important for realistic linear optical quantum-information processing, but also enable new tests of local realism.
