Nanoscaled ZnO films used as enhanced substrates for fluorescence detection of dyes

The ability of nanoscaled ZnO films to enhance fluorescence was studied. We found that the fluorescence intensities of Cy5, rhodamine 6G, and fluorescein can be enhanced about 10-fold on nanoscaled ZnO films as compared to that on glass substrates. The lifetimes of all samples were measured, and no obvious change in lifetime was observed for dyes on different substrates. The mechanism for the nanoscaled ZnO film enhanced fluorescence appears to be different from that for the metal-fluorophore systems.     

Theoretical Studies on Photoionization Cross Sections of Solid Gold

Accurate expression for photoabsorption (photoionization) cross sections of high density system proposed recently is used to study the photoionization of solid gold. The results show that the present theoretical photoionization cross sections have good agreement both in structure and in magnitude with the experimental results of gold crystal. The studies also indicate that both the real part ε' and the imaginary part ε" of the complex dielectric constant ε, and the dielectric influence function of a nonideal system have rich structures in low energy side with a range about 50 eV, and suggest that the influence of particle interactions of surrounding particles with the photoionized particle on the photoionization cross sections can be easily investigated using the dielectric influence function. The electron overlap effects are suggested to be implemented in the future studies to improve the accuracy of theoretical photoionization cross sections of a solid system.

Calix[n]arenes 1 - 3 (n = 4, 6 and 8) were alkylated with alkyl chlorides in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride in chloroform by Friedel-Crafts reaction to give p-alkylcalix[n]arenes 5 - 7 (n = 4, 6 and 8) in good to excellent yields.     

Simulation and Experimental Research of a Novel Vircator

A new configuration of an axially-extracted vircator with three resonant cavities is put forward and optimized by simulation with the PIC code. The output power of over 1 GW is obtained at around 4.1 GHz in the experiment, in agreement well with the PIC simulation results. The beam to wave power conversion efficiency is more than 6.6%.     

Investigation of an X-band magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator

An X-band magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator （MILO） is designed and investigated numerically and experimentally for the first time. The X-band MILO is optimized in detail with KARAT code. In simulation, the X-band MILO, driven by a 720 kV, 53 kA electron beam, comes to a nonlinear steady state in 4.0 ns. High-power microwaves （HPM） of TEM mode is generated with an average power of 4.1 GW, a frequency of 9.3 GHz, and power conversion efficiency of 10.870 in durations of 0-40 ns. The device is fabricated according to the simulation results. In experiments, when the voltage is 400 kV and the current is 50 kA, the radiated microwave power reaches about 110 MW and the dominating frequency is 9.7GHz. Because the surfaces of the cathode end and the beam dump are destroyed, the diode voltage cannot increase continuously. However, when the diode voltage is 400 kV, the average power output is obtained to be 700 MW in simulation. The impedance of the device is clearly smaller than the simulation prediction. Moreover, the duration of the microwave pulse is obviously shorter than that of the current pulse. The experimental results are greatly different from the simulation predictions. The preliminary analyses show that the generations of the anode plasma, the cathode flare and the anode flare are the essential cause for the remarkable deviation of the experimental results from the simulation predictions.     

Superhydrophobic surfaces via controlling the morphology of ZnO micro/nano complex structure

ZnO micro/nano complex structure films, including reticulate papillary nodes, petal-like and flake-hole, have been self-assembled by a hydrothermal technique at different temperatures without metal catalysts. The wettability of the above film surfaces was modified with a simple coating of heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxy-silane in toluene. After modifying, the surface of ZnO film grown at 50~${^\circ}$C was converted from superhydrophilic with a water contact angle lower than 5$^{\circ}$ to superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of 165$^{\circ}$. Additionally, the surface of reticulate papillary nodes ZnO film grown at 100~${^\circ}$C had excellent superhydrophobicity, with a water contact angle of 173$^{\circ}$ and a sliding angle lower than 2$^{\circ}$. Furthermore, the water contact angle on the surface of petal-like and flake-hole ZnO films grown at 150~${^\circ}$C and 200~${^\circ}$C were found to be 140$^{\circ}$ and 120$^{\circ}$, respectively. The wettability for the samples was found to depend strongly on the surface morphology which results from the growth temperature.     

MnFePo.45Aso.55材料中的相变研究

利用不同的测量方法,研究了MnFeP1-xAsx(0.32＜x＜0.66)材料巡游电子变磁性转变附近一级相变与其他物理性质变化的关系.可以发现,材料的一级相变是一个温度滞后为10K,但持续发生在至少66K的一个很大的温度区间的结构相变.磁性相变与一级相变的温度点并不对应.晶格突变与居里温度和一级相变温度点并不一一对应,属于磁致伸缩的机制,来源于磁弹性耦合.实验指出,顺磁-铁磁转变是在一级相变的过程中,由于晶格的连续变化,导致了a-b面内最近邻Fe-Fe原子间的距离增大,而非观察到的晶格突变所引起.
