Ce^4+-doped Ca2SnO4 with a one-dimensional structure, which emits bright blue light, is prepared by using a solid-state reaction method. The x-ray diffraction results show that the Ce^4+ ions doped in Ca2SnO4 occupy the Sn^4+ sites. The excitation and emission spectra of Ca2Sn1-xCexO4 appear to have broad bands with peaks at - 268nm and -442nm, respectively. A long excited-state lifetime (-83μs) for the emission from Ca2Sn1-xCexO4 suggests that the luminescence originates from a ligand-to-metal Ce^4+ charge transfer (CT). The luminescent properties of Ca2Snl_xCexO4 have been compared with those of Sr2CeO4, which is the only material reported so far to show Ce^4+ CT luminescence. More interestingly, it is observed that the emission intensity of Ca2Sn1-xCexO4 with a small doping concentration (x - 0.03) is comparable to that of Sr2CeO4 in which the concentration of active centre is 100%. 相似文献
We present a preferential attachment growth model to obtain the
distribution P(K) of number of units K in the classes which may
represent business firms or other socio-economic entities. We found
that P(K) is described in its central part by a power law with an
exponent ϕ = 2+b/(1-b) which depends on the probability of entry of new
classes, b. In a particular problem of city
population this distribution is equivalent to the well known Zipf
law. In the absence of the new classes entry, the
distribution P(K) is exponential.
Using analytical form of P(K) and assuming proportional growth
for units, we derive P(g), the distribution of business firm
growth rates. The model predicts that P(g) has a Laplacian cusp
in the central part and asymptotic power-law tails with an exponent
ζ = 3. We test the analytical expressions derived using
heuristic arguments by simulations. The model might also explain the
size-variance relationship of the firm growth rates. 相似文献
The wake of a streamwise oscillating cylinder is presently investigated. The Reynolds number investigated is 300, based on
the cylinder diameterd. The cylinder oscillates at an amplitude of 0.5d and a frequencyfe/fs=1.8, wherefe is the cylinder oscillating frequency andfs is the natural vortex shedding frequency of a stationary cylinder. Under these conditions the flow is essentially two dimensional.
A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) scheme has been developed to calculate the flow. The DNS results display
a street of binary vortices, each containing two counter-rotating vortical structures, symmetrical about the centerline, which
is in excellent agreement with measurements. The drag and lift on the cylinder have been examined. The time averaged drag
and lift are 1.4 and 0, respectively, which are the same as those on a stationary cylinder at the sameRe. However, the fluctuating drag was high, about 2.68. It has been found that, being symmetrically formed about the centerline,
the binary vortices induce an essentially zero fluctuating lift, which may have a profound implication in flow control and
engineering. 相似文献
Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs, Ar′ = 3,4-(HO)2(C6H3) are abundant natural products found in agricultural and forestry waste such as pine bark, grape seeds, and the peels of mangosteen. We have demonstrated that the OPCs can be converted into small molecule chiral ligands by using proper nucleophiles for acid depolymerization of the OPCs. The chiral ligands may have potential for sustainable asymmetric catalysis. 相似文献
In this paper, UV–vis spectroscopy and fluorescence were combined to study the binding of Calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) with the anthacycline antibiotic drug pirarubicin (THP). Ethidium bromide (EB) as the fluorescence probe was used to study the competitive binding interactions of THP with DNA by excitation -emission fluorescence matrices (EEFMs) coupled with the parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and the alternating normalization-weighted error algorithm (ANWE) with the second-order advantage. All the results conformed that THP mainly bound with DNA by intercalation. Meanwhile, the two second-order calibration methods have been successfully applied to quantify THP in urine samples. Figures of merit were applied to compare the performance of the two methods. The results presented in this work showed that both the PARAFAC and ANWE methods were the convincing way to be applied in the complex biological systems even in the presence of uncalibrated interferences. 相似文献
Assembly of Sn on Cu Nanorods as anode for Li-ion microbatteries was prepared by a two-step electrodeposition design. Firstly, Cu nanorods arrays were grown on copper substrate by anodic aluminum oxide template-assisted growth method. Then, Sn was deposited onto Cu nanorods arrays by galvanostatic deposition. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy measurements reveal that Cu nanorod arrays are covered with Sn. Electrochemical performances of prepared electrodes were evaluated by charge/discharge cycle measurement. The assembly of Sn on Cu nanorods electrode exhibited highly reversible specific capacity and superior capacity retention resulting from the three-dimensionally nano-architectured design, which exhibits a large surface area, shortened Li-ion diffusion distance, Cu–Sn alloying, and can accommodate the volume expansion of Sn during cycling. Deposition time is an important parameter for fabricating the assembly of Sn on Cu nanorods electrode with suitable structure and morphology.
