Study on the separation of 100 TeV γ-rays from cosmic rays for the Tibet ASγ experiment

A γ/hadron separation analysis is described for the observed air shower events with primary energy above 100 TeV based on the Tibet AST detector configuration. The shower age and size parameters are fitted from the measured lateral density distribution and used as discrimination variables. According to the MC simulation while taking into account the systematic uncertainty estimated from data and MC comparison,it is found that 70% of the cosmic ray (CR) background can be rejected while more than 78% of the γ-rays can be retained. Sensitivity for 100 TeV γ-rays observation can thus be improved by at least 40%.     

Influence of annealing treatment on as-grown Ib-type diamond crystal at a high temperature and high pressure

In this paper,we report on the influence of annealing treatment on as-grown Ib-type diamond crystal under high pressure and high temperature in a china-type cubic anvil high-pressure apparatus.Experiments are carried out at a pressure of 7.0 GPa and temperatures ranging from 1700 C to 1900 C for 1 h.Annealing treatment of the diamond crystal shows that the aggregation rate constant of nitrogen atoms in the as-grown Ib-type diamond crystal strongly depends on diamond morphology and annealing temperature.The aggregation rate constant of nitrogen remarkably increases with the increase of annealing temperature and its value in octahedral diamond is much higher than that in cubic diamond annealed at the same temperature.The colour of octahedral diamond crystal is obviously reduced from yellow to nearly colorless after annealing treatment for 1 h at 1900 C,which is induced by nitrogen aggregation in a diamond lattice.The extent of nitrogen aggregation in an annealed diamond could approach approximately 98% indicated from the infrared absorption spectra.The micro-Raman spectrum reveals that the annealing treatment can improve the crystalline quality of Ib-type diamond characterized by a half width at full maximum at first order Raman peak,and therefore the annealed diamond crystals exhibit nearly the same properties as the natural IaA-type diamond stones of high quality in the Raman measurements.     

Mixed symmetry states and electromagnetic transition in the N=Z nucleus ^28Si

The interacting boson model with isospin （IBM-3） has been used to study mixed symmetry states and electromagnetic transitions at low-lying states for a ^28Si nucleus. The theoretical calculations show that the 24^＋ state is the lowest mixed symmetry state in ^28Si and the 43＋ state is also a mixed symmetry state.     

Highly efficient SERS test strips

We present a facile production approach to highly efficient SERS test strips by physical vapor deposition of silver on paper, which contains natural wrinkle and fibril structures. The SERS test strips open the door to highly sensitive (e.g., 10(-10) M) SERS detection in a convenient fashion.     

Substituent effects in double-helical hydrogen-bonded AAA-DDD complexes

Two series of DDD and AAA hydrogen-bond arrays were synthesized that form triply-hydrogen-bonded double-helical complexes when combined in CDCl(3) solution. Derivatization of the DDD arrays with electron-withdrawing groups increases the complex association constants by up to a factor of 30 in those arrays examined. Derivatization of the AAA arrays with electron donating substituents reveals a similar magnitude effect on the complex stabilities. The effect of substitution on both types of arrays are modeled quite satisfactorily (R(2) > 0.96 in all cases) as free energy relationships with respect to the sums of their Hammett substituent constants. In all, the complex stabilities can be manipulated over more than three orders of magnitude (>20 kJ mol(-1)) using this type of modification.

铌对钨中氦行为影响的第一性原理研究

采用第一性原理计算方法系统研究了合金化元素铌(Nb)对钨(W)中氦(He)溶解和扩散行为的影响.研究发现,Nb的存在显著降低了He在W中的溶解能,Nb可以作为W中He捕陷中心,在最稳定位置处Nb对He的捕陷能达到0.37 eV.通过电荷分析发现,这主要是因为Nb的存在引起了W中电荷密度的重新分布.而He在W中的扩散能垒将随着He—Nb间距离的缩小逐渐降低,这从动力学上表明He被Nb捕陷是可行的.因此,Nb的存在将有利于W中He的聚集成泡.
