Electron Impact Excitation of Xenon from the Ground State and the Metastable State to the 5p57p Levels

Electron impact excitation cross sections from the ground state and the lowest metastable state 5p56s J=2 to the excited states of the 5p57p configuration of xenon are calculated systematically using the fully relativistic distorted wave method. Special attention is paid to the configuration interaction effects in the wave-function expansion of target states. The results are in good agreement with the recent experimental data by Jung et al. [Phys. Rev. A 80 （2009） 062708] over the measured energy range. These accurate theoretical results can be used in the modeling and diagnosis of plasmas containing xenon.     

Polarization and Angular Distribution of Ll X-Ray Following Inner-Shell 2p3/2 Photoionization of Magnesium-Like Ions

The inner-shell 2pa/2 photoionization and the subsequent decay of Mg-like Fe^14＋, Cd^36＋, W^62＋ and U^80＋ ions are studied theoretically within the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method and the density matrix theory. Special attention is paid to exploring the influence of the non-dipole terms which arise from the multipole expansion of the electron-photon interaction in the photoionization process. The results show that the non-dipole contribution to the total cross section, the magnetic sublevels cross section of the photoionization process, the degree of linear polarization and angular distribution of the subsequent characteristic x-ray radiation become more important with the increase of photons energy and atomic nuclear Z. Especially for the cross section and the degree of linear polarization, the non-dipole contribution arrives at 50% for U^80＋ at four time energy threshold units. However, for the angular distribution, the maximum contribution does not exceed 4%, even for U^80＋ ions.     

Evaluation of an oral carrier system in rats: bioavailability and gastrointestinal absorption properties of curcumin encapsulated PBCA nanoparticles

A new oral delivery system, polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles (PBCNs), was introduced to improve the oral bioavailability of curcumin (CUR), a poorly soluble drug. The formulation was optimized by orthogonal design and the optimal PBCNs loading CUR exhibited a spherical shape under transmission electron microscopy with a range of 40?C400?nm. Physicochemical state of CUR in PBCN was investigated by X-ray diffraction and the possible structure changes occurring in CUR after conjugating with polybutylcyanoacrylate were studied with FTIR. The results indicated that CUR in PBCN was in a non-crystalline state and CUR was encapsulated in PBCN without chemical reaction. The oral pharmacokinetic study was conducted in rats and the relative bioavailability of CUR encapsulated PBCNs to the crude CUR was more than 800%. The in situ absorption experiment in rat intestine indicated the absorption was first order with passive diffusion mechanism. The absorption results in various segments of intestine showed that the main absorption sites were ileum and colon. It can be concluded that PBCNs as an oral carrier can significantly improve the oral absorption of a poorly soluble drug.     

Entanglement dynamics and Bell violation of three-qubit states coupled to an XY spin chain with Dzyaloshinski–Moriya interaction

We investigate the entanglement dynamics and Bell violation of three-qubit quantum states under an environment consisting of an XY spin chain with Dzyaloshinski–Moriya (DM) interaction. From the results, we find that the entanglement dynamics depends not only on the DM interaction, the magnetic field, and the anisotropy parameter but also on the number of the freedom degrees of the environment. The decoherence-free subspaces of our model have been identified and the Bell violation of quantum states is also discussed.

Scintillation index of astigmatic annular beams in a turbulent atmosphere

The scintillation properties of astigmatic annular beams in a weak turbulent atmosphere are investigated. Expression for the on-axis scintillation index of an astigmatic annular beam is derived. It is found that the scintillation index of an astigmatic annular beam can be smaller than that of a Gaussian beam, an elliptical Gaussian beam and a stigmatic annular beam in a weak turbulent atmosphere under certain conditions. The scintillation properties of astigmatic annular beams are closely controlled by its beam parameters.     

Large Positive and Negative Lateral Shifts from an Anisotropic Metamaterial Slab Backed by a Metal

The lateral shift of a light beam at the surface of an anisotropie metamaterial （AMM） slab backed by a metal is investigated. Analytical expressions of the lateral shifts are derived using the stationary-phase method, in the case that total reflection does and does not occur at the first interface. The sign of the lateral shift in two situations is discussed, and the necessary conditions for the lateral shift to be positive or negative are given. It is shown that the thickness and physical parameters of the AMM slab and the incident angle of the light beam strongly affect the properties of the lateral shift. Numerical results validate these conclusions. The lossy effect of the metamaterial on the lateral shift is also investigated.     

FTIR结合生理特性研究镉胁迫对果灰藓的影响

苔藓植物可作为监测环境中重金属污染的指示植物。以苔藓植物果灰藓为实验材料,用不同浓度的重金属镉处理7 d后,借助傅里叶红外光谱法(FTIR)分析重金属镉胁迫下果灰藓各化学成分的变化,同时测定可溶性糖(SS)、可溶性蛋白(Pr)、丙二醛(MDA)含量在镉胁迫下的生理指标。结果表明：随着镉处理浓度的升高,可溶性糖含量和可溶性蛋白含量呈现先上升后下降的趋势,丙二醛含量先下降后上升。FTIR与果灰藓响应重金属镉胁迫的各生理指标变化趋势较一致,且FTIR比传统的生理指标测定更敏感、便捷。因此,FTIR可以作为研究苔藓植物应用于环境重金属污染监测的一种快速、有效的方法。     

Charge-orbital density wave and superconductivity in the strong spin-orbit coupled IrTe2:Pd

Using transmission electron microscopy, the anomalies in resistivity and magnetic susceptibility at ~262 K in IrTe2 are found to accompany the superlattice peaks with q[over q=(1/5,0,-1/5). The wave vector is consistent with our theoretical calculation for the Fermi surface nesting vector, indicating that the ~262 K transition is of the charge-orbital density wave (DW) type. We also discovered that both Pd intercalation and substitution induce bulk superconductivity with T(c) up to ~3 K, which competes with DW in a quantum critical pointlike manner.
