PCL/SiO2杂化纳米相微结构与晶态成核生长特性

应用扫描电子显微镜、广角X射线衍射和差示扫描量热手段研究了有机高分子/无机组分间以物理次价力(氢键)键合的高分子量PCL/SiO2杂化材料纳米相微结构和PCL高分子链在该微结构环境中的结晶成核生长特性及其影响因素.研究结果表明:杂化体系中高分子/无机组分间的微相分离尺度在纳米数量级,高分子微区的平均相畴尺寸在70nm左右,无机相形态呈现不规则的颗粒状.两相均匀分布程度与体系中组分间的氢键键合强度有关.PCL杂化后结晶度减小,对应的微晶尺寸明显改变,平衡熔点随无机组成含量的增加而下降.高分子链在晶核表面折叠形成结晶结构所需的能量增加.这一结果归因于无机非晶SiO2和键合强度的影响.

Coherence Measurement of White Light Emission from Femtosecond Laser Propagation in Air

Strong white light emission is observed from femtosecond laser propagation in air. The divergence angle of the white light emission is measured to be about 5mrad. Young＇s double-slits and a Michelson interferometer are used to investigate the coherence. The wavelength components of the white light emission are identified to have a good spatial coherence and a coherence time of about 0.5ps.     

Gd替代对La0.6-xGdxSr1.4MnO4磁性和输运性质的影响

随着x的增加，多晶La0.6-xGdxSr1.4MnO4（x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6）的零场冷却 曲线从类自旋玻璃型转变成顺磁型，并且每条零场冷却 曲线都有一在20K的拐点。这一行为可以从Gd和Mn各自对材料总磁性的不同贡献来理解。另外，在所有的样品中，从100K到室温，都观察到了热激活导电行为。由于Mn-Mn间强的反铁磁耦和，直到外场达到50 kOe，都没有观察到明显的磁电阻效应。     

Low temperature growth and dimension- dependent photoluminescence efficiency of semiconductor nanowires

Low temperature growth and dimension dependent photoluminescence (PL) efficiency of semiconductor nanowires were investigated with CdS as a model system. The CdS nanowires were prepared with a simple, low temperature metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process via the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism. The low growth temperature of 360 °C was made possible with a newly developed single-source precursor of CdS and by using sputtered Au as the catalyst for the VLS growth. The length and diameter of the nanowires were adjusted by reaction time and sputtering conditions of Au, respectively. Nanowires of up to several μm in length and 20 to 200 nm in diameter were obtained. The PL quantum yield of the nanowires was found to decrease with increasing wire length, but to increase with decreasing wire diameter. This dimension-dependent PL efficiency of one-dimensional nanostructure, unlikely resulting from the quantum size confinement effect, appears to be a new observation that carries application significance.

Failure of Kak quantum key distribution protocol

Kak’s quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol provides not only the distribution but also the integrity of secret key simultaneously in quantum channel. Consequently the additional exchange of information, used to check whether an eavesdropper exists, is unnecessary. In this comment, we will point out the failure of Kak’s protocol and show that Kak’s protocol does not have the joint distribution and integration that the author declares in [1].     

The structure and optical properties of AlN nanocrystals prepared by Schlenk techniques at atmospheric pressure and low temperature

AlN nanocrystals were prepared in organic solvent at atmospheric pressure and low temperature by the Schlenk technique. Both hexagonal and cubic AlN nanocrystals were obtained. The hexagonal nano-AlN powder possessed a wurtzite structure with a=3.124 Å, c=5.024 Å, the average grain size was about 2 nm. The lattice constant of the cubic nano-AlN was a=9.171 Å, the average grain size was about 4 nm. The structural and optical properties of the obtained AlN were analyzed. The emission related to deep-level defects was investigated by using temperature-dependent photoluminescence.     

Some new constructions of bivariate Weibull models

In this article, several approaches are advanced towards the construction of bivariate Weibull models from the consideration of failure behaviors of the components of a two-component system. First, a general method of construction of bivariate life models is developed in the setting of random environmental effects. Some new bivariate Weibull models are derived as special cases and added insights are provided for some of the existing ones. In the course of model formulation in terms of the dependence structure, a new bivariate family of life distributions is constructed so as to incorporate both positive and negative quadrant dependence in the same parametric setting, and a bivariate Weibull model is obtained as a special case. Finally, some distributional properties are presented for a bivariate Weibull model derived from the consideration of random hazards.     

Optical characterization and composition of abdominal wall muscle from rat

Complete optical characterization of biological tissue is desirable to develop clinical methods using optical technologies. Particularly, to develop optical clearing methods in biological tissues, it is necessary to know the composition of the tissue, the percentage of each constituent and corresponding refractive indexes. To obtain such information for rat muscle, we used a simple method to characterize tissue constituents for both content percentage and refractive index. The study consisted on measuring mass with a precision weighting scale and the refractive index with an Abbe refractometer during tissue dehydration. With the collected data, we used a theoretical model to calculate the refractive index and percentage for both interstitial fluid and solid part of the rat muscle. The results obtained are in good agreement with data published by other authors, and were considered of vital information for the optical clearing studies that we planned to perform.
