Morphology and Wettability of [Bmim][PF6] Ionic Liquid on HOPG Substrate

We investigate the morphology and wettability of [Bmira][PF6] ionic liquid （IL） on a highly oriented pyrolitic graphite （HOPG） substrate using atomic force microscopy. Thin films, nanometer-sized droplets, and ＂drop-onlayer＂ structures of the IL are found on the substrate. Films with a thickness of up to 2nm （about 4 IL layers） show the solid-like behavior. In contrast, a dewetting phenomenon is observed for thicker IL films, indicating that the IL films retain liquid properties. The contact angle of a buck IL droplet on the HOPG is measured to be about 35°. The wettability of the bulk IL droplet on the HOPG is found to be quite different from that of IL films. These results indicate that the IL molecules can be organized into various micro-morphologies when they are confined to a solid substrate and show characteristic behavior at nanometer scales.     

Effect of temperature on the morphology of nanobubbles at mica/water interface

The great implication of nanobubbles at a solid/water interface has drawn wide attention of the scientific community and industries. However, the fundamental properties of nanobubbles remain unknown as yet. In this paper, the temperature effects on the morphology of nanobubbles at the mica/water interface are explored through the combination of AFM direct image with the temperature control. The results demonstrate that the apparent height of nanobubbles in AFM images is kept almost constant with the increase of temperature, whilst the lateral size of nanobubbles changes significantly. As the temperature increases from 28℃ to 42℃, the lateral size of nanobubbles increases, reaching a maximum at about 37℃, and then decreases at a higher temperature. The possible explanation for the size change of nanobubbles with temperature is suggested.

关键天体反应18Ne(α, p)21Na的实验研究

在X 射线暴高温高密度的环境中,18Ne( α, p)21Na 很可能是由热CNO 循环突破到rp 过程的一个重要反应。到目前为止,人们测得的反应率还存在很大的不确定性。实验中用CRIB(CNS RadioactiveIon Beam separator) 提供的21Na 放射性束轰击8.8 mg/cm2 的聚乙烯厚靶,利用放置在θlab = 14°,0°,14° 处的3 套硅条探测器望远镜阵列对反冲轻粒子进行鉴别和测量,测得在一段能区(Ex = 5:5  9:2MeV) 内21Na(p, p)21Na 的激发函数。通过对21Na(p, p) 共振弹性散射截面进行R矩阵拟合,得到了22Mg共振能级的自旋宇称以及质子宽度等信息,从而为计算18Ne( α,, p)21Na 反应率提供了实验参数。The 18Ne(α ,p)21Na reaction is thought to be one of the key breakout reaction from the hot CNO cycle to the rp-process in X-ray bursts. Over stellartemperatures achieved in XRBs, this rate has not been sufficiently determined.The experiment was performed using CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator) at the Center for Nuclear Study (CNS) of the University of Tokyo. An 89 MeV 21Na radioactive ion beam was produced and bombarded an 8.8 mg/cm2 thick polyethylene target. The recoiled light particles were detected with three Micron silicon ΔE-E telescopes centered at angles of θlab = 0°; +14° and 14°with respect to the beam direction, respectively. The 21Na+p elastic-scattering excitation functions were reconstructed with a thick-target method over energies Ex = 5:5  9:2 MeV. The resonance parameters have been determined through an R-matrix analysis,which will be used to evaluate the 18Ne( α, p)21Na reaction rate.     

兰州320kV高压平台低能核天体物理实验研究进展(英文)

在低温核天体物理环境下,如静态核稳定燃烧阶段的核反应都发生较低的能区,其伽莫夫窗口内的核反应截面非常小,这就需要加速器提供较强束流才能完成核反应截面的直接测量。最近在中国科学院近代物理的320 kV高压平台上建立了低能核天体物理实验室以及相应的研究平台。驱动该平台的是一个14.5 GHz的永磁铁型ECR离子源,它能够提供非常强的束流离子。对于质子和氦离子,离子源出口的最大流强可以达到100 eμA,在实验终端上可以获得大约30 eμA的流强。基于此强流加速器装置,我们建立了核天体物理实验测量装置,包括靶室以及带电粒子和伽玛射线探测器等设备。利用已知的核反应对探测器性能和实验方法进行了一系列测试。同时,展示了近年来取得的一些主要实验结果。最后,对该平台上开展工作的前景进行了展望,并指出基于该地面装置的低能核反应研究所积累的技术及经验对于我国锦屏深地核天体物理JUNA项目的重要意义。For the hydrostatic stable burning in stars, the Gamow window is well below the Coulomb barriers for the charged-particle-induced nuclear reaction involved. Such nuclear reaction occurs through the quantum-mechanics tunneling effect, and its cross section drops rapidly approaching the Gamow window. An accelerator which can provide intense beam current is thus required to directly measure the reactions at low energies. An experimental setup for low-energy nuclear astrophysics studies has been recently established at a 320 kV high-voltage platform of the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Lanzhou, China. The driver machine of this platform is a very strong ECR ion source employing all-permanent magnets, which can typically supply up to about 100 eμA proton, alpha and many other heavy ions, and ultimately about 30 eμA currents can be achieved at the experimental terminal. The experimental setup includes a target chamber, and the charged-particle and γ-ray HPGe detectors. This work describes the setup established, characteristics of detectors, methodologies, and test results of several reactions with known cross sections. Furthermore, some important results published are shown briefly. We believe that the experimental technologies developed and experiences accumulated at this above-ground platform will be extremely helpful for the Jinping Underground Nuclear Astrophysics laboratory (JUNA) project in China.     

1H(17F,α)14O反应截面测量

14O （α,p）17F是天体X射线暴中重要的突破反应。本工作通过厚靶方法测量其逆反应1H （17F,α）14O的反应截面来研究这一关键反应。本实验工作是在日本东京大学原子核科学研究中心（CNS）的低能次级束流线（CRIB）上完成的,后续的扣除本底实验是在兰州放射性束流线（RIBLL1）上完成的。CRIB实验是通过2H （16O,n）17F转移反应产生17F次级束,经过CRIB分离提纯之后,利用该次级束轰击氢气靶。在氢气靶后布置了三套望远镜探测器系统,用以探测不同实验角度的反冲α粒子,在数据处理的过程中经过动力学重构后得到了1H （17F,α）14O反应在质心系能区E_c.m.=2.7~3.4 MeV的反应截面。实验结果在3 MeV以上的高能区与前人的薄靶实验数据是一致的,在低能区本工作获得了新的实验数据,倾向于支持干涉相消的理论预言结果。The 14O(α, p)17F reaction is one of the important breakout reactions in type I X-ray burst. This work reported a new cross section measurement of its reverse reaction of 1H(17F,α)14O. The experiment was performed using the CNS radioactive ion beam separator (CRIB), located at the Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo. The sequent background measurement was carried out at Radioactive Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL1). 17F beam was produced via the transfer reaction of 2H(16O, n)17F, subsequently separated and purified by CRIB and bombarded a thick hydrogen H₂ gas target. The recoiling α particles were measured by three △E-E silicon telescopes at three different angles. The total cross sections of 1H(17F,α)14O have been derived at E_c.m.=2.7~3.4 MeV based on an isotropic angular distribution assumption. Our results are consistent with the previous ones in the energy region of E_c.m.>3 MeV, and we also obtained some new data in the low energy region, which partly support the destructive interference between the direct and resonant reaction mechanism predicted by the theory.     

Effects of Substrate Hydrophobicity/Hydrophilicity on Height Measurement of Individual DNA Molecules

Effects of substrate hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity on height measurement of individual ds-DNA molecules are investigated with tapping mode atomic force microscopy （TMAFM） and vibrating mode scanning polarization force microscopy （VSPFM）. The measured heights of ds-DNA on hydrophobic highly oriented pyrolytic graphite （HOPG） are remarkably less than those on hydrophilic bare mica and Ni^2＋ treated mica in both TMAFM and VSPFM. By analysing the results, we propose that the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of substrate can greatly influence the height measurement of DNA molecules.

Sr掺杂钙钛矿体系中高活性氧析出反应机制（英文）

析氧反应(oxygen evolutionreaction OER)是电催化分解水、二氧化碳还原、金属-空气电池以及燃料电池等能源转化及存储技术的关键过程,因此被广泛关注和研究.OER过程涉及四个电子转移,是动力学迟滞过程,具有较大的过电位,此外OER催化反应的同时也可能改变电极表面状态,故其机理的研究十分困难.设计和开发高效OER催化剂材料是提高电解水效率的关键.最近的研究发现反应后催化剂表面会发生重构,进而形成无定形层,该无定形层被认为会改善催化活性.我们的前期研究也发现了表面不饱和配位无定形层的存在,但对于重构机制尚没有明确的解释.本文在上述研究基础上,利用熔盐法合成了一系列具有多孔结构的不同Sr含量的LaCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ钙钛矿材料,通过电化学装置测试其催化活性,并采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)、比表面积测试(BET)和软硬X射线吸收谱技术等表征手段对其进行了深入探索.XRD测试结果表明,Sr掺杂LaCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ钙钛矿材料的主峰随着Sr含量增加向低角度偏移,这是由于Sr的离子半径较La的大.SEM和BET测试结果表明,不同Sr含量样品均表现出多孔的钙钛矿结构,并具有相似的比表面积,说明Sr含量变化不影响催化剂的形貌和比表面积.利用硬X射线吸收谱对体相Co和Fe元素的价态进行了研究,发现随着Sr含量的增加,Co和Fe离子的价态没有明显变化.类似地,利用软X射线吸收谱对表面层Co和Fe价态进行的研究发现,Co和Fe均表现出+3价,但在氧元素的K边吸收谱上观察到明显的氧空穴存在.电化学测试结果表明,催化剂的活性随Sr含量增加而增大.总之,随着Sr的掺杂,催化剂形貌及活性元素价态均无明显变化,但样品的电化学性能却发生了明显改善,这意味着尚有其它因素影响催化剂活性.利用HRTEM对OER反应前后的样品进行了形貌分析,发现在OER反应后Sr掺杂的催化剂表面出现了明显的无定形层,而无Sr掺杂的样品反应前后几乎未观察到表面形貌的变化.由此我们推断,Sr掺杂可诱导催化剂表面出现无定形层,进而提高OER反应活性.因此,在LaCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ钙钛矿材料体系中,Sr掺杂是影响OER催化剂表面重构和制约催化活性的关键.
