Wide-Angle Ultra-Broadband Metamaterial Absorber with Polarization-Insensitive Characteristics

An ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is developed,which is polarized-insensitive and angular-stable.Three layers of square resistive films comprise the proposed metamaterial.The optimal values of geometric parameters are obtained,such that the designed absorber can achieve an ultra-broadband absorption response from 4.73 to 39.04 GHz(relative bandwidth of 156.7%)for both transverse electricity and transverse magnetic waves.Moreover,impedance matching theory and an equivalent circuit model are utilized for the absorption mechanism analysis.The compatibility of equivalent circuit calculation results,together with both full-wave simulation and experimental results,demonstrates the excellent performance and applicability of the proposed metamaterial absorber.     

大口径氘化磷酸二氢钾晶体离线亚纳秒激光预处理技术

大口径氘化磷酸二氢钾(DKDP)晶体抗激光损伤性能偏低严重地制约着大型高功率激光装置输出水平.本研究利用离线亚纳秒激光预处理技术有效地提升了大口径DKDP晶体抗激光损伤性能.实际使用情况表明,采用离线亚纳秒激光预处理后,DKDP晶体在9 J/cm²激光通量辐照下的表面平均损伤密度得到大幅下降,由未处理前的5.02 pp/cm²(1pp表示1个百分点)降至0.55 pp/cm²,降幅为一个数量级.同时,激光预处理对晶体损伤尺寸具有一定的抑制作用,预处理后晶体损伤点尺寸分布曲线向尺寸减小的方向平移,尺寸分布峰值由预处理前的25μm降至预处理后的18—20μm.

Thermodynamics analysis of indium iodide polycrystal synthesis

According to the thermodynamics analysis, the molar enthalpy change, the molar entropy increase, the Gibbs free energy change and the balance constant of indium iodide polycrystal synthesis reaction were calculated in order to evaluate the feasibility of reaction temperature on 653 K. After the temperature 653 K was applied in the synthesis experiment, indium iodide polycrystal was successfully obtained by the two‐zone vapor transporting method. The result of X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates the temperature 653K can be used for indium iodide polycrystal synthesis.     

Synthesis of polysubstituted 5-hydroxyhydantoins via ring-opening of isatins

A simple and efficient tandem reaction approach was developed for the synthesis of 5-hydroxyhydantoins from one-pot reaction of isatins, phthalic anhydride or succinic anhydride, and 1,3-dimethylurea (1,3-diethylurea). The products were gained through the ring-opening of isatins process. The advantages of this report are simple operation, mild reaction conditions, good yields and easily available raw materials. It was very important for us to obtain the intermediate product and that provided a solid basis for the correct interpretation of the reaction mechanism.     

NMR and theoretical study on the linking properties of peroxovanadium(V) complexes with the 3-aminomethyl-pyridine derivatives

To understand the substitution effects of 3-aminomethyl-pyridine on the reaction equilibrium, the interactions between a series of 3-aminomethyl-pyridine derivatives and peroxovanadium(V) complex [OV(O₂)₂(D₂O)]^?/[OV(O₂)₂(HOD)]^? in solution were explored by the combined use of multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ⁵¹V) magnetic resonance spectroscopy together with HSQC in 0.15 M NaCl ionic medium for mimicking the physiological conditions. Some direct NMR data are given for the first time. The relative reactivity among the 3-aminomethyl-pyridine derivative ligands are N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)acetamide (1) ≈ N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)propionamide (2) > N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)pivalamide (3) > t-butyl(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)carbamate (4). The competitive coordination results in the formation of a series of new six-coordinate peroxovanadium species [OV(O₂)₂L]^? (L = 1–4). The results of density functional calculations indicated that the solvation effects play an important role in these reactions, providing a reasonable explanation on the relative reactivity of the 3-aminomethyl-pyridine derivatives.     

Pd(II)-catalyzed cascade Heck/intramolecular C(sp2)–H amidation reaction: An efficient route to 4-aryl-2-quinolinones

A Pd(II)-catalyzed cascade Heck/intramolecular C(sp²)–H amidation reaction is described for the synthesis of 4-aryl-2-quinolinone derivatives. Substituted cinnamamide containing 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanamine unit reacts with aryl iodide to form intermediate by Heck reaction. Then, the intermediate takes place intramolecular amidation via C(sp²)–H activated process promoted by orientation group.     

A tantalum electrode coated with graphene nanowalls for simultaneous voltammetric determination of dopamine,uric acid,L-tyrosine,and hydrochlorothiazide

The authors describe a voltammetric sensor for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), L-tyrosine (Tyr), and the diuretic drug hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). The assay is based on the use of graphene nanowalls deposited on a tantalum substrate. The nanowalls are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The nanowalls are vertically grown on the substrate by direct-current arc plasma jet chemical vapor deposition. The modified electrode is shown to enable simultaneous differential pulse voltammetric determination of DA, UA, Tyr, and HCTZ. The graphene nanowalls display a large specific surface, high conductivity, and a large number of catalytically active sites for oxidation of analytes. Simultaneous detection is performed best at a pH value of 7.0 and at peak potentials of 0.124 V (vs. SCE) for DA, 0.256 V for UA, 0.536 V for Tyr and 0.708 V for HCTZ. The respective detection limits are 0.04 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.6 μM and 0.4 μM. The results show that this graphene wall modified electrode is a promising tool for the design of sensitive, selective, and stable sensors.
