Photonic bandgap properties of 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals

The bandgap properties of 2D 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals (PQCs) composed of a set of rods are numerically investigated for various fill factors, dielectric constants and propagation angles using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Some interesting properties are found besides the known results: (i) the central frequency of the bandgap shifts to low frequency as r/a increases; (ii) an optimum fill factor to obtain the largest gap width exists, which decreases with increasing dielectric constant; (iii) compared with the behavior for a given fill factor, the variation of bandgap width for the optimum fill factor increases much more significantly with the dielectric constant. Selection guidelines for 8-fold symmetric PQC designs are provided for optimum fill factors and variation of the relative bandgap width at different dielectric constants.     

Picosecond stimulated Raman scattering of BaWO4 crystal

In single-pass configuration, a picosecond pulse laser was used to investigate the stimulated Raman scattering in different BaWO₄ crystals. Using the thresholds for the first Stokes line along the a- and c-axis, the Raman gain coefficients of the BaWO₄ crystals were calculated along their respective direction. The higher Stokes (fourth) and anti-Stokes (third) lines were observed. Compared with other well-known Raman crystals, such as KGd(WO₄)₂ and Ba(NO₃)₂, BaWO₄ has favorable properties for scattering the pump radiation with picosecond pulse duration. The Raman gain coefficients of BaWO₄ are different, but do not vary for different transmission directions, which means that this Raman material can be selected more freely.     

用于光学相干层析成像设备点扩散函数测量的模体制作与使用方法研究

点扩散函数一般用于成像光学系统的分辨率评价,而掺杂微球的模体经常被用于获取光学相干层析成像(OCT)系统的点扩散函数。采用一种简单快速的基于表面硅烷化处理的加工工艺,制作出掺杂直径为1μm聚苯乙烯微球的聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)点扩散函数模体,该工艺无需任何打磨与抛光即可得到光洁度优良的模体表面。使用一台谱域OCT系统对该模体进行检测,通过处理OCT图像得到点扩散函数并计算得到OCT系统的轴向与横向分辨率,分别为6.8 mm和14.3 mm,与理论预测值十分接近,证明了点扩散函数模体评价方法的有效性。     

Comparison of microbiological loads and physicochemical properties of raw milk treated with single-/multiple-cycle high hydrostatic pressure and ultraviolet-C light

The effects of ultraviolet-C radiation (UV-C, 11.8?W/m²), single-cycle and multiple-cycle high hydrostatic pressure (HHP at 200, 400 or 600?MPa) on microbial load and physicochemical quality of raw milk were evaluated. Reductions of aerobic plate count (APC) and coliform count (CC) by HHP were more than 99.9% and 98.7%, respectively. Inactivation efficiency of microorganisms increased with pressure level. At the same pressure level, two-cycle treatments caused lower APC, but did not show CC differences compared with single-cycle treatments. Reductions of APC and CC by UV-C were somewhere between 200?MPa and 400/600?MPa. Both HHP and UV-C significantly decreased lightness and increased pH, but did not change soluble solids content and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances’ values. Two 2.5?min cycles of HHP at 600?MPa caused minimum APC and CC, and maximum conductivity. Compared with HHP, UV-C markedly increased protein oxidation and reduced darkening.     

Quantum corrections to the conductance of AlGaAs/GaAs-based quasiballistic quantum wires

Quantum conductance corrections (QCCs) due to weak localization and interaction effects of quantum quasiballistic wires are investigated for the first time. At temperatures in the range 2 K<T<12 K a crossover of these corrections from one-dimensional behavior to zero-dimensional behavior is observed. It is shown that the phase coherence length in the wires studied is less than the length L _T =(ℏD/kT)^1/2 at all temperatures. It is found that the conventional theory of QCCs describes correctly the experimental temperature dependence of the QCCs but gives a much lower value than the experimental one. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

KCaA型分子筛制备及其对CO2吸附性能的研究

采用离子交换法,在CaA型分子筛中加入氯化钾水溶液,并搅拌一定时间,将功能K+引入到CaA型分子筛结构中,以调控CaA型分子筛的孔径和增加它的吸附活性位点.考察了离子交换时间和气体吸附压力等条件对制备的KCaA型分子筛的结构、形貌和CO2吸附性能的影响.通过X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜和CO2吸附等温线等表征手段,结果发现:获得的KCaA型分子筛具有与CaA型分子筛相同的结构与形貌;增大气体吸附压力,分子筛对CO2的吸附量增大;但随着离子交换时间的增长,分子筛对CO2的吸附能力先增大后减小;在室温及1bar气压下对CO2气体的吸附性能比原CaA型分子筛提高了26.7%.

Modelling of spreading process: effect from hydrogen bonds

Lubricant spreading on solid substrates has drawn considerable attention not only for the microscopic wetting theory but also for the dramatic application in head-disk interface of magnetic storage drive systems. Molecular dynamic simulation based on a coarse-grained bead-spring model has been used to study such a spreading process. The spreading profiles indicate that the hydrogen bonds among lubricant molecules and the hydrogen bonds between lubricant molecules and polar atoms of solid substrates will complicate the spreading process in a tremendous degree. The hydrogen bonds among lubricant molecules will strengthen the lubricant combination intensity, which may hinder most molecules from flowing down to the substrates and diffusing along the substrates. And the hydrogen bonds between lubricant molecules and polar atoms of solid substrates will confine the lubricant molecules around polar atoms, which may hinder the molecules from diffusing along the substrates and cause precursor film to vanish.

A biosensor based on graphene nanoribbon with nanopores: a first-principles devices-design

A biosensor device,built from graphene nanoribbons(GNRs) with nanopores,was designed and studied by firstprinciples quantum transport simulation.We have demonstrated the intrinsic transport properties of the device and the effect of different nucleobases on device properties when they are located in the nanopores of GNRs.It was found that the device’s current changes remarkably with the species of nucleobases,which originates from their different chemical compositions and coupling strengths with GNRs.In addition,our first-principles results clearly reveal that the distinguished ability of a device’s current depends on the position of the pore to some extent.These results may present a new way to read off the nucleobases sequence of a single-stranded DNA(ssDNA) molecule by such GNRs-based device with designed nanopores
