结合傅里叶变换合成法设计均匀薄膜

基于傅里叶变换合成法的基本原理,合成了一个K9基底上的负滤光片,合成的渐变折射率薄膜具有期望光学特性,但实际制备难度很大,因此将其细分为足够多层离散折射率的均匀薄膜,由于实际薄膜材料种类有限,不能获得任意折射率膜层,鉴于两层高低折射率薄层可近似为一层中间折射率膜层的思想,将膜系转化成一个可实际制备的膜系结构:膜系采用ZrO2和SiO2两种膜料,膜层总数为183层,经单纯形调法优化后,膜层总厚度为7.09 μm,通带和截止带内平均透射比分别为97.56%和3.13%,其结果优于直接采用傅里叶方法合成的非均匀膜系,与期望透射比曲线吻合更好.说明通过这种思想设计任意光谱特性的膜系是可行的,也使傅里叶变换合成法设计的薄膜实际制备成为可能.     

Rapid fabrication of terahertz lens via three-dimensional printing technology

We design a plano-convex lens working in the terahertz(THz) frequency range and fabricate it using threedimensional(3D) printing technology. A 3D field scanner is used to measure its focal properties, and the results agree well with the numerical simulations. The refractive index and absorption coefficient measurements via THz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS) reveal that the lens material is highly transparent at THz frequencies. It is expected that this inexpensive and rapid 3D printing technology holds promise for making various THz optical elements.     

A multi-functional polymer coating that is heat-resistant,hydrophobic and transparent

A multi-functional polymer film with high hydrophobicity and transparency was formed by simple casting of a polycarbonate solution onto a substrate having micro-scale roughness.The high hydrophobicity was heat-resistant,which can be retained up to 390 ℃.The polymer film may have potentially wide-ranging applications in industry and high technology.     

Generally applicable and efficient esterification of aldehydes with alcohols catalyzed by cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine

The palladacycle‐catalyzed esterification of a variety of aldehydes with alcohols was developed. This reaction allows formation of esters in moderate to excellent yields not only for various aldehydes but also alcohols. In addition, the esterification could proceed well under mild conditions with a low catalyst loading of 0.0625 mol%. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Growth of Hydrophilic CuS Nanowires via DNA‐Mediated Self‐Assembly Process and Their Use in Fabricating Smart Hybrid Films for Adjustable Chemical Release

Facile growth of CuS nanowires through self‐assembly and their application as building blocks for near‐infrared light‐responsive functional films have been demonstrated. It is found that DNA is a key factor in preparing the CuS material with defined nanostructure. An exclusive oriented self‐aggregate growth mechanism is proposed for the growth of the nanowires, which might have important implications for preparing advanced, sophisticated nanostructures based on DNA nanotechnology. By employing the hydrophilic CuS nanowire as an optical absorber and thermosensitive nanogel as guest reservoir inside alginate film, a new platform for the release of functional molecules has been set up. In vitro studies have shown that the hybrid film possesses excellent biocompatibility and the release rate of chemical molecules from the film could be controlled with high spatial and temporal precision. Our novel approach and the resulting outstanding combination of properties may advance both the fields of DNA nanotechnology and light‐responsive devices.     

Consistency check on the fundamental and alternative flux operators in loop quantum gravity

There are different constructions of the flux of triad in loop quantum gravity, namely the fundamental and alternative flux operators. In parallel to the consistency check on the two versions of operator by the algebraic calculus in the literature, we check their consistency by the graphical calculus. Our calculation based on the original Brink graphical method is obviously simpler than the algebraic calculation. It turns out that our consistency check fixes the regulating factor κreg of the Ashtekar-Lewandowski volume operator as1/2, which corrects its previous value in the literature.     

Absolute crystal structure of (−)-N N-dimethylamphetamine methiodide

(–)-N,N-Dimethylamphetamine methiodide, C₁₂H₂₀N⁺,I^– crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁ with unit-cell dimensionsa = 5.999(2),b = 8.330(3),c = 13.161(3) Å, = 94.03(2) °, andZ = 2. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method from CuK. intensities visually estimated from Weissenberg films, but refined on data measured with MoK radiation on a Rigaku-AFC four-circle diffractometer. Full-matrix least-squares refinement of the nonhydrogen atoms with anisotropic temperature factors, has yielded a finalR index of 0.045 for the 1124 observed terms. The absolute configuration has been defined by Bijvoet's technique.
