Adsorption of CO, NH3 and O2 on Fe site of La0.875Sr0.125FeO3 (0 1 0) surface by density function theory calculation

The adsorption of CO, NH₃ and O₂ gas molecules on Fe site of La_0.875Sr_0.125FeO₃ (0 1 0) surface has been investigated based on the density functional theory (DFT) with the spin polarized generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The optimal adsorption orientations as well as the adsorption energies for these molecules adsorption on Fe site of La_0.875Sr_0.125FeO₃ (0 1 0) surface are derived. Results show that adsorption configurations with C-down for CO, N-down for NH₃ are stable. For the O₂ molecule adsorption, the mode with an angle about 120° between the oxygen molecule and La_0.875Sr_0.125FeO₃ (0 1 0) surface is stable.     

Effect of post heat treatment on microstructure and photocatalytic activities of TiO2 nanoribbons

Low-dimensional TiO₂ nanoribbons were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The TiO₂ nanoribbons were calcined over the temperature range 200-800 °C in order to enhance their photocatalytic properties by altering their crystal phase and increasing crystallization. Effects of hydrothermal temperature, calcinated temperature and calcination time on the formation of nanostructures have been observed and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The (BET) specific surface area of the samples which with different post treatments were determined by N₂ absorption-desorption experiment. In addition, photocatalytic activities of the nanoribbons were evaluated by photodegradation of organic dyes methyl orange under the radiation of UV light. The results reveal that the post-treatments have great effects on the microstructures and the photocatalytic activities of TiO₂ nanoribbons.     

Evolution of Zn based high purity phases under NH3 gas atmosphere and their PL properties

We report here the evolution of zinc based high purity phases with novel morphologies such as Zn₃N₂ hollow structures, ZnO nanowires and nanopowders, as well as metallic Zn layered hexagonal microparticles at progressively increased reaction temperature of 600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C under NH₃ gas atmosphere using Zn powder precursor and keeping all other experimental parameters unchanged. Growth mechanism for Zn₃N₂ obtained by nitridation, ZnO by oxidation and Zn microparticles via thermal evaporation & condensation process are discussed briefly. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Photoluminescence (PL) studies have revealed very interesting and infrequently observed emission bands at 378 and 661 nm for Zn₃N₂, 359 and 396 nm for ZnO as well as 389 nm for Zn polyhedral microparticles.     

Preparation and electroactive properties of a PVDF/nano-TiO2 composite film

In the present study, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/nano-TiO₂ electroactive film was prepared by coating a substrate with an acetone/DMF solution, which was evaporated at a high temperature (110 °C). The crystallisation behaviour, dynamic mechanical properties and electroactive properties of this PVDF/nano-TiO₂ electroactive film were investigated. The cross-section and surface of the film were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the film containing the PVDF β phase, the desired ferroelectric phase, was obtained by crystallising the mixed solution of nano-TiO₂ and PVDF at 110 °C, while the film containing the α phase was obtained from the crystallisation of the pure PVDF solution at the same temperature. It was found that the storage modulus, the room-temperature dielectric constant and the electric breakdown strength of the composite films were much higher than those of a pure PVDF film. TiO₂ improved the mechanical properties and electroactive properties of the film. The results indicate that PVDF/nano-TiO₂ composite films can be applied to the fabrication of self-sensing actuator devices.

Piezoelectric coefficients of cross-linked polypropylene films stretched at elevated temperatures

Cross-linked polypropylene (XPP) foams are modified by a hot-stretching process and charged to be piezoelectric. The results show that a piezoelectric d₃₃ -coefficient of 308pC/N is obtained for sample with an elongation ratio of 200%. The dynamic d₃₃ value is smaller than the quasi-static value, which is probably due to the rise of Young’s modulus with increasing frequency. All the samples show pressure-independent d₃₃ in the range up to 30 kPa. Improved d₃₃ was obtained in the sample rough surface exposed to the corona during charging. Compared to linear PP, the stretched XPP shows pressure independence of d₃₃ in larger range.     

Integrating neighborhoods in the evaluation of fitness promotes cooperation in the spatial prisoner’s dilemma game

A fundamental question of human society is the evolution of cooperation. Many previous studies explored this question via setting spatial background, where players obtain their payoffs by playing game with their nearest neighbors. Another undoubted fact is that the environment plays an important role in the individual development. Inspired by these phenomena, we reconsider the definition of individual fitness which integrates the environment, denoted by the average payoff of all individual neighbors, with the traditional individual payoffs by introducing a selection parameter u. Tuning u equal to zero returns the traditional version, while increasing u bears the influence of environment. We find that considering the environment, i.e., integrating neighborhoods in the evaluation of fitness, promotes cooperation. If we enhance the value of u, the invasion of defection could be resisted better. We also provide quantitative explanations and complete phase diagrams presenting the influence of the environment on the evolution of cooperation. Finally, the universality of this mechanism is testified for different neighborhood sizes, different topology structures and different game models. Our work may shed light on the emergence and persistence of cooperation in our life.     

Evolution of cooperation among mobile agents with heterogenous view radii

In this paper, we study cooperative behavior among mobile agents; the agents have heterogenous view radii and they play the prisoner’s dilemma game with those being within their vision fields. It is found that the cooperation level is remarkably promoted when the heterogeneity of view radii is considered, and the degree distribution of the system is investigated to explain this interesting phenomenon. Moreover, we report that the cooperative behavior is best favored by low density, moderate view radius, and small moving speed. Our findings may be helpful in understanding cooperative behavior in natural and social systems consisting of mobile agents.

提出了一种利用偏最小二乘回归系数矩阵筛选光谱波段的算法。该算法利用偏最小二乘回归系数作为筛选光谱波长的依据,参考(root-mean-squares error of cross-validation,RMSECV)曲线,使初选波长数大大降低。在此基础上通过循环选择将无效信息光谱波长剔除,同时增强了所建模型的预测精确性。通过生产过程的Raman光谱数据验证,该算法比传统的利用回归系数筛选波长的算法更好地提高了模型的精确性,同时降低了模型的复杂程度,是一种高效实用的算法。
