The development of information storage materials — How microscopy can help?

The response of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) devices depends critically on the film microstructure, with parameters such as layer thickness and interfacial abruptness being crucial. This paper presents results obtained using high resolution electron microscopy (HREM), chemical mapping and atom probe microanalysis. Local variations in the magnetic properties are induced by the microstructure and also when the films are patterned to form small elements. These lead to changes in the magnetization reversal mechanism. Some results of the studies of the magnetization reversal carried out using in situ in Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) magnetizing experiments are also included.

泵浦光对固体激光器光束质量的影响

利用有泵浦增益时的谐振腔衍射积分方程,研究了二极管泵浦固体激光器中泵浦光对振荡光场的影响,分析了泵浦光分布和泵浦光半径对振荡光场的影响。结果表明当泵浦光分布分别为均匀分布和高斯分布及椭圆高斯分布时,最佳的泵浦分布为高斯分布;对于高斯光束泵浦,泵浦半径的变化会引起振荡光场的尺寸和形态的变化。定量分析结果表明泵浦半径在一定范围内变化时,振荡光斑半径均随泵浦光半径的增大而减小。在实际的DPL设计中需要根据对振荡光的要求进行泵浦光的优化设计。     

新型锂离子电池正极材料LiVOPO4的制备与表征

Novel lithium-ion battery cathode material LiVOPO₄ was synthesized by sol-gel method using lithium hydroxide, ammonium metavanadate, phosphoric acid and citric acid as raw materials. The microstructure, surface morphology and electrochemical properties were characterized by various electrochemical methods in combination with thermogravimertric (TG) analysis and differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results show that the sample obtained by calcinating at 650 ℃ for 6 h is made up of uniform particles with size of 2～3 μm. The first discharge, charge capacity and columbic efficiency of LiVOPO₄ is 137.1 mAh·g^-1, 146.1 mAh·g^-1 and 93.8%, respectively. After 80 cycles the discharge capacity is kept at 130.4 mAh·g^-1, which is 95.1% of the first discharge capacity, and the capacity loss per cycle was only 0.061%, suggesting the LiVOPO₄ derived by this method is a promising cathode material for lithium ion batteries.

Molecular torus group

Generally speaking, the highest symmetry of M?bius cyclacene molecule possesses the C₂ symmetry based on the theory of point group according to the previous works. However, based on the topology principle, the fundamental group of M?buis strip is an infinite continuous cyclic group and its border is made up of twice of the generator. Of course, the M?bius strip-like molecule is associated with a finite discrete cyclic symmetry group. For the cyclacene isomers constructed by several (n) benzene rings, these isomers include: the common cylinder Hückel cyclacene (HC-[n]) molecules, the M?bius cyclacene (MC-[n]) molecules by twisting the linear precursor one time (180°), and the multi-twisted M?bius strip-like cyclacene (M ^m C?[n]) molecules by twisting the linear precursor m times (m × 180°). The relevant results suggest that in addition to the point symmetry, there is a new kind of symmetry called the torus screw rotation (denoted as TSR). In this article, we take the M ^m C?[n] molecules as examples to discuss their TSR group and point group symmetry, and the relative symmetry adaptive atom sets as well as their atomic orbital (AO) sets. Here, the Cartesian coordinates is not quite fit for the investigation of these AOs, so it is replaced by either the torus orthogonal curvilinear coordinates (for M ^m C?[n] molecule) or the cylinder orthogonal curvilinear coordinates (for HC-[n] molecule). According to the features of cyclic group, the character table of the irreducible representation of the TSR group could be constructed easily. Some other relevant point-group symmetries maybe also belong to the molecule, so its symmetry maybe called as the torus group symmetry. For multi-twisted M?bius strip-like molecule, there are some correlations in topology characteristics.

钯催化芳烃/烯烃与烯丙酯的氧化Heck交叉偶联反应的最新研究进展

芳烃与烯烃通过两分子sp2-C—H键脱氢偶联,构建多取代烯烃的反应称之为氧化Heck反应或脱氢Heck反应,也叫Fujiwara-Moritani反应.在过去的几十年里,由于此类反应直接通过C—H键官能团化形成C—C键而备受关注.然而,绝大多数的此类转化只能适用于缺电子烯烃.富电子烯烃如烯丙酯或烯丙醚类化合物参与的氧化Heck偶联很少被报道.近几年来,我们课题组以及其他研究小组发展了一些十分高效的钯催化芳烃/烯烃与烯丙酯/烯丙醚的氧化脱氢偶联新方法.本文将概述这些有趣的、原子经济的氧化偶联反应的最新研究进展.     

Synthesis,characterization and release profiles of nanoparticles self‐assembled from poly (PEGMA‐co‐MMA‐co‐acryloyl‐β‐CD) copolymers

A novel amphiphilic copolymer was synthesized from poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA950), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acryloyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (acryloyl‐β‐CD) using the composites of (NH₄)₂S₂O₈/NaHSO₃ as the oxidation–reduction initiators. The successful fabrication of poly(PEGMA‐co‐MMA‐co‐acryloyl‐β‐CD) copolymers was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), ¹H‐nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectra. The amphiphilic copolymer could self‐assemble into nanoparticles (NPs), and their morphology and particle size distribution were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. Ibuprofen (IBU) was encapsulated in the novel NPs, and the release profiles of IBU were investigated. FTIR and ¹H NMR spectra illustrated that the poly(PEGMA‐co‐MMA‐co‐acryloyl‐β‐CD) copolymers were synthesized without any residual monomers and initiators. TEM and AFM photographs suggested that the obtained NPs were spherical, and the DLS results indicated that the diameter of blank NPs was 157.3 ± 32.7 nm. The IBU release profile showed that the IBU‐loaded NPs had certain pH responsibility. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
