Disappearance of modes in planar Bragg waveguides

We show how the forbidden bands of a Bragg reflector may shrink to points and how some classes of the guided modes of a planar Bragg waveguide may disappear altogether by shrinking with the forbidden bands. We derive the general conditions to determine the missing modes and explain these conditions with examples. It is possible, for example, to design a Bragg waveguide that rejects all antisymmetric modes and supports only symmetric modes for the TE polarization. We also highlight the effect of Brewster incidence on the interpretation of the missing modes for the TM polarization.     

Influence of network structure on rumor propagation

Rumor propagation in complex networks is studied analytically and numerically by using the SIR model. Analytically, a mean-field theory is worked out by considering the influence of network topological structure and the unequal footings of neighbors of an infected node in propagating the rumor. It is found that the final infected density of population with degree k   is ρ(k)=1−exp(−αk)$\rho (k)=1-\exp (-\alpha k)$, where α is a parameter related to network structure. The number of the total final infected nodes depends on the network topological structure and will decrease when the structure changes from random to scale-free network. Numerical simulations confirm the theoretical predictions.     

Singularities of Berry connections inhibit the accuracy of the adiabatic approximation

Adiabatic approximation for quantum evolution is investigated addressing its dependence on the Berry connections that are functions of a slowly-varying parameter R  . When the Berry connections have singularities of type 1/Rσ$1/R^{\sigma }$ with σ<1$\sigma <1$, the adiabatic fidelity converges to unit according to a power-law; When the singularity index σ becomes larger than one, adiabatic approximation breaks down. Two-level models are used to substantiate our theory.

ABC三嵌段共聚物胶束从多间隔结构到多核结构转变的Monte Carlo模拟

采用Monte Carlo模拟方法研究了疏水-亲水-疏水(H-P-H)型ABC三嵌段共聚物在B嵌段的选择性溶剂中的自组装行为. 模拟结果表明, 通过调节A嵌段和C嵌段的疏水性和二者之间的不相容性, 体系中可以形成多种形貌各异的胶束. 根据胶束中疏水核结构的特点, 这些胶束大体上可以被分为多核型胶束和多间隔型胶束两种类型. 通过增强疏水嵌段的疏水性或降低A嵌段和C嵌段间的不相容性, H-P-H型ABC三嵌段共聚物胶束能够发生从多核型胶束向多间隔型胶束的转变. 进一步分析胶束中聚合物的链构象等微观结构信息发现, A嵌段和C嵌段间的排斥作用和疏水作用之间存在竞争关系, 而这种竞争关系是影响体系中形成多核型胶束还是多间隔型胶束的决定性因素.     

固体核磁共振Multiple-CP定量技术的参数优化与应用研究

固体核磁共振Multiple-CP定量技术可实现对不同体系、 不同定量信息的检测. 然而, Multiple-CP对样品属性的宽容度较低, 其中有关样品属性的核磁共振参数包括氢的自旋晶格弛豫时间(T_1,H)、 交叉弛豫时 间(T_CH)和自旋锁定场下氢的自旋晶格弛豫时间(T_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}})等. 因而需要系统地掌握Multiple-CP各种实验参数与样品上述特性参数之间的关系, 从而确定Multiple-CP技术可适用的体系范围以及最优的实验参数范围. 基于此, 首先以L-丙氨酸为模型样品, 探讨在Multiple-CP实验中弛豫恢复时间(t_d)、 交叉极化接触时间(t_p)和交叉极化次数(n) 3种实验参数对分子中基团比例测量结果的影响规律. 并以L-缬氨酸、 L-丙氨酸/L-缬氨酸的混合物为模型样品, 探讨样品特性参数的差异性对Multiple-CP实验参数范围的影响. 实验结果表明, t_p受T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}}的影响较大. 对于纯净物或均相体系, T_CH是影响t_p参数设置的关键. 依据实验数据发现, 当样品中各基团T_CH差异度小于8%时, 实验对t_p的宽容度较高; 对于混合物体系, 需同时考虑混合物中组分\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度的影响. 当组分\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度为32%、 各基团T_CH差异度为21%时, Multiple-CP对t_p的宽容度高, 可在较宽的参数范围内实现定量检测. 而当T_CH差异度较大时, 获取定量结果时t_p的参数范围较小, 实验条件较苛刻. Multiple-CP定量方法更适用于T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度较小的样品体系的定量研究. 通过研究样品T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}对实验参数的影响, 总结了Multiple-CP方法所适用的样品体系特征, 为使用Multiple-CP进行定量检测提供可参考的参数设置方案.

Preparation of Low-dielectric Permittivity Polyimide Resins with High Surface Activity from Chemically Bonded Hyperbranched Polysiloxane

Thermosetting resin matrix is the key component of advanced wave-transparent composites,where low dielectric constant,excellent processability,high thermal stability,as well as good bonding ability are required for resins.Herein,we prepared a series of phenylethynyl terminated polyimide(PI)resins by grafting amine-functionalized hyperbranched polysiloxane(HBPSi)to PI chains during the in situ polymerization.The effects of HBPSi on the processability of oligomers,molecular packing,thermal stability,dielectric property and bonding ability to reinforce Kevlar fibers of the cured PI/HBPSi composite resins have been examined in detail.The dielectric constants of the cured composite resins were greatly reduced from 3.29 to 2.19 without compromising its processability and thermal stability.Meanwhile,the 10 wt％HBPSi-containing PI resin demonstrated better bonding ability to reinforce fibers with the interfacial shear strength(IFSS)of 37.64 MPa,compared with that of neat PI-6 matrix(27.34 MPa),and better adhesion to metal with the lap shear strength of 10.48 MPa,50％higher than that of neat resin PI-6(6.98 MPa).These resultant PI/HBPSi composite resins exhibit excellent comprehensive properties,indicating their great potential as low-dielectric constant resin matrix in radar radome.     

Synergic Enhancement of High-density Polyethylene through Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene and Multi-flow Vibration Injection Molding: A Facile Fabrication with Potential Industrial Prospects

General-purpose plastics with high strength and toughness have been in great demand for structural engineering applications. To achieve the reinforcement and broaden the application scope of high-density polyethylene(HDPE), multi-flow vibration injection molding(MFVIM) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) are synergistically employed in this work. Herein, the MFVIM has better shear layer control ability and higher fabrication advantage for complex parts than other analogous novel injection molding technologies reported.The reinforcing effect of various filling times and UHMWPE contents as well as the corresponding microstructure evolution are investigated.When 5 wt% UHMWPE is added, MFVIM process with six flow times thickens the shear layer to the whole thickness. The tensile strength and modulus increase to 2.14 and 1.39 times, respectively, compared to neat HDPE on the premise of remaining 70% impact strength. Structural characterizations indicate that the enhancement is attributed to the improvement of shish-kebab content and lamellae compactness, as well as related to the corresponding size distributions of undissolved UHMWPE particles. This novel injection molding technology with great industrial prospects provides a facile and effective strategy to broaden the engineering applications of HDPE materials. Besides, excessive UHMWPE may impair the synergistic enhancement effect, which is also reasonably explained.
