DRAG ON SUBMICRON NANOPARTICLE AGGREGATES

A new procedure was developed for estimating the effective collision diameter of an aggregate composed of primary particles of any size. The coagulation coefficient of two oppositely charged particles was measured experimentally and compared with classic Fuchs theory, including a new method to account for particle non-sphericity. A second set of experiments were performed on well-defined nanoparticle aggregates at different stages of sintering, i.e. from the aggregate to the fully sintered stage. Here, electrical mobility was used to characterize the particle drag. The aggregates are being built from two different size-fractionated nanoparticle aerosols, the non-aggregated particles are discarded by an electrofilter and then they are passed through a furnace at concentrations low enough not to induce coagulation.     

ON THE EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE ENTIRE SOLUTIONS FOR SINGULAR p-LAPLACE EQUATIONS

In this paper N-dimensional singular, p-Laplace equations of the following form are considered, where p ≥N, β > 0, and f : [0,∞)×(0,∞)×[0, ∞)→[0,∞) is a continuous function. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of infinitely many radially positive entire solutions of the equation which are asymptotic to positive constant multiples of |x|(p-N)/(p-1) for p > N or log|x| for N = p as |x|→∞.

MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SPIN—VALVE MULTILAYERS BY X—RAY ANOMALYOUS DIFFRACTION TECHNIQUE

It is impossible to directly analyze the microstructure of spin-valve multilayers based on Ni,F,Cu and Mn by a conventional X-ray diffraction technique because the lattice parameter and atomic sattering factor sof them are very close.To solve this problem, we use an x-ray anomalous diffraction technique to characterize the microstructures of the [Ni80Fe20/Fe50Mn50]15 and [Ni80Fe20/Cu]15 superlattice systems.The results show that more diffraction peaks and higher internsity in the reflectivety profile are observed when the incident energy is close to the absorption edge of the lighter element(Mn) in [Ni80Fe20/Fe50Mn50]15 multilayer systems and to the absorption edge of the heavier element (Cu) in the [Ni80Fe20/Cu]15 multilayer systems.The interface and periodic structure of [Ni80F20/Fe50Mn50]15 are more perfect than that of the [Ni80Fe20/Cu]15 superlattices.The above results are disussed in this paper.     

Study on mode-filtered light sensor for methane detection

A novel mode-filtered light gas sensor has been reported.It was constructed by inserting an optical fiber deposited by a thin silicone cladding of cryptophane A into a fused-silica capillary.When different concentration of methane gas was introduced to the sensor,the phenomenon that mode-filtered light intensity decreased with the increasing concentration of methane was observed. And a linear relationship was obtained within the methane concentration range of 0.0-16.0%(v/v).The detection limit was 0.06% ...
