Centrality dependence of direct photon production in (square root)S(NN) = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions

The first measurement of direct photons in Au + Au collisions at (square root)S(NN) = 200 GeV is presented. The direct photon signal is extracted as a function of the Au + Au collision centrality and compared to next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations. The direct photon yield is shown to scale with the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions for all centralities.     

多层氧化石墨烯-水泥基复合材料的力学性能与微观结构

研究了大片径多层氧化石墨烯(Graphene Oxide,GO)对水泥砂浆力学性能和微观结构的影响。发现掺入多层GO对水泥砂浆的抗压强度和抗折强度增强效果明显。随着GO掺量的增加,水泥砂浆的抗压强度和抗折强度呈现出先增大后减小的趋势。通过SEM观察其微观结构,发现GO作为载体,促使花状晶体和针状晶体等水化产物的生成,并且调节水泥的水化产物规则生长,形成致密结构。此外,GO纳米片可以形成阻止裂纹扩展的屏障,抑制裂纹在水泥砂浆中的传播,增强水泥砂浆的力学性能。相比于小片径薄层GO,大片径多层GO对水泥基材料性能的增强效果明显,经济实用性更高。     

Pure and Sn-, Ga- and Mn-doped ZnO gas sensors working at different temperatures for formaldehyde,humidity, NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>, toluene and CO

ZnO and Sn-, Ga- and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by a coprecipitation method, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectra (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra. The gas sensing properties were studied using formaldehyde, relative humidity, NH₃, toluene and CO as the probes. The results show that all particles have wurtzite ZnO phase, though Sn–ZnO has a relatively smaller particle (and crystallite) size than the other three samples. Gas sensing property tests reveal that the temperature where the gas sensing maximum is gained (T _M) is changed by different dopants: Sn–ZnO and Mn–ZnO have relatively lower T _M (∼100°C lower) compared with that of pure ZnO, while Ga–ZnO has the same T _M as pure ZnO except in CO sensing. Thermoluminescence (TL) spectra were used to investigate the mechanism of T _M change. The peak positions of Ga–ZnO and ZnO are the same at 300–350°C, while that of Sn–ZnO shifts to 250–300°C, which might contribute to the same T _M of Ga–ZnO and pure ZnO and relatively lower T _M of Sn–ZnO. In the case of Mn–ZnO, the luminescence emission is evidently limited by its black color.     

Antibacterial evaluation of some Schiff bases derived from 2-acetylpyridine and their metal complexes

A series of Schiff bases derived from 2-acetylpyridne and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectral studies. The complexes were screened for anti-bacterial activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Acinetobacter baumanni (AC), Klebsiella pneumonie (KB) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) using the disc diffusion and micro broth dilution assays. Based on the overall results, the complexes showed the highest activities against MRSA while a weak antibacterial activity was observed against A. baumanii and P. aeruginosa.     

Electromagnetic scattering from two-layered rough interfaces with a PEC object: vertical polarization

Electromagnetic(EM) scattering from a stack of two rough interfaces separating a homogeneous medium with a perfectly electric conducting(PEC) object has been calculated through the method of moments for vertical polarization.Theoretical formulations of EM scattering from multi-layered rough interfaces with a PEC object have been derived in detail and the total fields and their normal derivatives on the rough interfaces are solved.The two-layered model is a special case.In this work,a Gaussian rough surface was applied to simulate the rough interface.A cylinder was located above,between or below the two-layered rough interfaces.Through numerical simulations,the validity of this work is demonstrated by comparing it with existing scattering models,which are special cases that include a PEC object located above/below a single-layered rough interface and two-layered rough interfaces without an object.Subsequently,the influences of characteristic parameters,such as the relative permittivity of the medium,as well as the average height between the two rough surfaces,on the bistatic scattering coefficient are discussed.     

利用歧化反应的逆反应合成C_5H_5LnCl_2·2LiCl·5THF配合物(Ln=La,Nd)

由于镧系收缩和配位不饱和性,导致长期不能合成轻稀土环戊二烯基氯化物。陈文启等借严格控制氯化稀土与环戊二烯基钠的摩尔比为1:0.5,制备了环戊二烯基轻稀土二氯化物(Pr、Ce、Nd),但即使将这一摩尔比调整为1:0.25也不能得到类似的镧的化合物。李毅等以LnCl_3—LiCl(Ln=La、Nd)的四氢呋喃溶液和等摩尔的C_5H_5Na反应,以比较高的收率制备了[Li(THF)_2]_2(μ-Cl)_4C_5Ln·THF,并测定了其晶体结构。我们

采用水热合成法制备出Fe₂(MoO₄)₃样品, 并用高温X-射线衍射、热重和差示扫描量热同步热分析仪对其进行表征, 发现样品在510 ℃附近发生低温单斜相和高温正交相之间的可逆相变, 且正交相表现出负膨胀特征. 采用第一性原理计算了正交相Fe₂(MoO₄)₃ 的原子、电子结构以及声子谱、声子态密度, 并和可获得的实验结果进行了系统的比较. 结果显示正交相Fe₂(MoO₄)₃中MoO₄四面体较之FeO₆八面体具有更强的刚性. 发现最低频的光学支处具有最负的格林乃森(Grüneisen)系数, MoO₄四面体和FeO₆ 八面体相连的桥氧原子的横向振动、FeO₆八面体柔性扭曲转动以及MoO₄四面体的刚性翻转共同导致了Fe₂(MoO₄)₃负膨胀现象的发生.     

Measurement of identified and inclusive photon second-harmonic parameter and implications for direct photon production in [FORMULA: SEE TEXT] Au+Au

The azimuthal distribution of identified pi0 and inclusive photons has been measured in [FORMULA: SEE TEXT] Au+Au collisions with the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). The second-harmonic parameter (nu2) was measured to describe the observed anisotropy of the azimuthal distribution. The measured inclusive photon is consistent with the value expected for the photons from hadron decay and is also consistent with the lack of direct photon signal over the measured pT range 1-6 GeV/c. An attempt is made to extract nu2 of direct photons.
