一种具有Goldbach性质的可换环上的二次同余

[1]—[3] 用模型论与数论方法讨论了整数环的某些扩环的数论性质,说明一些数论命题间的和谐性与相对独立性。[4]进一步研究了一种具有Golabach性质的可换环R,分析了R与整数环I的异同。[4]证明了R上有与I极不相同的二次同余性质。如R上存在8k±3形素元以2为平方剩余,也存在8k±1形素元不以2为平方剩余,等等。一个自然的问题是对任意非平方数a∈I,任意b,c∈I,若(b,c)=1,是否总存在bk+c形素元以a为

D-Proline capped gold nanoclusters for turn-on detection of serum Raltitrexed

Using D-proline (D-Pro) as the reducing agent and capper, D-Pro@AuNCs was rapidly constructed. Its fluorescence could be quenched by AuNPs. Due to the electrostatic interaction between anticancer drug Raltitrexed (RTX) and AuNPs induced fluorescence "turn-on" principle, the resultant fluorescent probe exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity for detecting RTX in rat serums.     

B0 ? ffB^0 \to \phi\phi decay in perturbative QCD approach

The rare decay can occur only via the penguin annihilation topology in the standard model. We calculate this channel in the perturbative QCD approach. The predicted branching ratio is very small: around 10^-8. We also give the polarization fractions, which show that the transverse polarization contribution is comparable to the longitudinal one, due to a big transverse contribution from factorizable diagrams. The small branching ratio in SM makes it sensitive to any new physics contributions.Received: 29 January 2005, Published online: 28 April 2005     

Growth of Cu2S ultrathin nanowires in a binary surfactant solvent

We demonstrate a facile solution-phase method for the synthesis of single-crystal, high aspect ratio, and ultrathin nanowires of hexagonal-phase Cu2S by thermal decomposition of CuS2CNEt2 in a mixed surfactant solvent of dodecanethiol and oleic acid at 160 degrees C. Cu2S nanowires can be controllably synthesized with a diameter as thin as 1.7 nm and length up to tens of micrometers; they are usually aligned in the form of bundles with a thickness of hundreds of nanometers. Based on the experimental results, the formation mechanism of the ultrathin nanowires has been properly proposed. Some key synthetic parameters, which have a significant effect on the sizes and shapes of the products, have also been investigated in detail. UV-vis spectroscopy measurement reveals that the resultant ultrathin nanowires show a strong quantum size effect.     

Microstructural prototyping of ceramics by kinetic engineering: applications of spark plasma sintering

The significance of kinetics on the development of microstructures in connection with sintering of ceramics is well recognized. In practice, however, it still remains a challenge to prepare designed microstructures via engineering the sintering kinetics because of an insufficient understanding of the different operative mechanisms that are in many cases overlapping. In this article the kinetic issues involved in sintering are described and discussed with respect to their potential for prototyping microstructures that yield desired properties. By exploiting and mastering the differences present in the kinetics of grain sliding, densification, chemical reactions, and grain growth, respectively, we have established processing principles for producing bulk ceramics with microstructures consisting of nano-sized grains, aligned grains, and/or non-equilibrium-phase constitutions, and for achieving radically improved superplasticity in brittle ceramics. Although the studies quoted in this article were mainly carried out by spark plasma sintering, more general implications of them are expected, including efficient particle sliding, deformation-induced dynamic ripening, superplastic deformation-induced dynamic ripening, and non-equilibrium integration.     

Polaronic behavior of undoped high-T(c) cuprate superconductors from angle-resolved photoemission spectra

We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data on undoped La2CuO4, indicating polaronic coupling between bosons and charge carriers. Using a shell model, we calculate the electron-phonon coupling and find that it is strong enough to give self-trapped polarons. We develop an efficient method for calculating ARPES spectra in undoped systems. Using the calculated couplings, we find the width of the phonon sideband in good agreement with experiment. We analyze reasons for the observed dependence of the width on the binding energy.     

Compensation for multimode fiber dispersion by adaptive optics

Adaptive optics is used to compensate for modal dispersion in digital transmission through multimode fiber (MMF). At the transmitter, a spatial light modulator (SLM) controls the launched field pattern. An estimate of intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by modal dispersion is formed at the receiver and fed back to the transmitter, where the SLM is adjusted to minimize ISI. Error-free transmission of 10 Gbit/s non-return-to-zero signals through standard 50 microm graded-index MMFs up to 11.1 km long is demonstrated. It is shown that a single SLM can compensate for modal dispersion across a 600 GHz bandwidth.
