Modeling of the blocking temperature of a system of core/shell nanoparticles

A theoretical study was conducted on the size dependence of the blocking temperature T_b of a system of interacting core/shell nanoparticles. A method for estimating the blocking temperature of interacting core/shell nanoparticles is presented, which allows T_b to be calculated more precisely than using the “Neel relation”. It was shown that with an increase in the intensity of the magnetostatic interaction (concentration of nanoparticles), the blocking temperature increases, while the growth of the external magnetic field leads to the opposite effect. Moreover, the T_b of large nanoparticles changes more significantly. Comparing different approaches, we identify a precise method for determining the blocking temperature from ZFC and FC magnetization curves.     

Functionally graded piezoelectric cantilever beam under load

Summary In the present paper, the problem of a functionally graded piezoelectric cantilever beam subjected to different loadings is studied. The piezoelectric beam is characterized by continuously graded properties for one elastic parameter and the material density. A pair of stress and induction functions in the form of polynomials is proposed and determined. Based on these functions, a set of analytical solutions for the beam subjected to different loadings is obtained. As particular cases, series of solutions for some canonical problems can be directly obtained from the solutions of the present paper, such as for the problems of a piezoelectric cantilever beam with constant body force or without body forces, etc.This research work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (50272003).

A Simplified Optimal Control Method for Homoclinic Bifurcations

A simplified optimal control method is presented for controlling or suppressing homoclinic bifurcations of general nonlinear oscillators with one degree-of-freedom. The simplification is based on the addition of an adjustable parameter and a superharmonic excitation in the force term. By solving an optimization problem for the optimal amplitude coefficients of the harmonic and superharmonic excitations to be used as the controlled parameters, the force term as the controller can be designed. By doing so, the control gain and small optimal amplitude coefficients can be obtained at lowest cost. As the adjustable parameter decreases, a gain of some amplitude coefficient ratio is increased to the highest degree, which means that the region where homoclinic intersection does not occur will be enlarged as much as possible, leading to the best possible control performance. Finally, it is shown that the theoretical analysis is in agreement with the numerical simulations on several concerned issues including the identification of the stable and unstable manifolds and the basins of attraction.

Exploring Reversible Quenching of Fluorescence from a Pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline Derivative by Protonation

Pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline derivatives are reported to be highly efficient organic fluorescent materials suitable for applications in light‐emitting devices. Although their fluorescence remains stable in organic solvents or in aqueous solution even in the presence of H₂O, halide salts (LiCl), alkali (NaOH) and weak acid (acetic acid), it suffers an efficient quenching process in the presence of protic acid (HCl) in aqueous or ethanolic solution. This quenching process is accompanied by a change in the UV spectrum, but it is reversible and can be fully recovered. Both steady‐state and transient fluorescence spectra of 1‐phenyl‐3,4‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazolo‐[3,4‐b]quinoline (PAQ5) during quenching are measured and analyzed. It is found that a combined dynamic and static quenching mechanism is responsible for the quenching processes. The ground‐state proton‐transfer complex [PAQ5 ??? H⁺] is responsible for static quenching. It changes linearly with proton concentration [H⁺] with a bimolecular association constant K_S=1.95 M ^?1 controlled by the equilibrium dissociation of HCl in ethanol. A dynamic quenching constant K_D=22.4 M ^?1 is obtained by fitting to the Stern–Volmer equation, with a bimolecular dynamic quenching rate constant k_d=1.03×10⁹ s^?1 M ^?1 under ambient conditions. A change in electron distribution is simulated and explains the experiment results.     

The effect of gamma irradiation on glass transition temperature and thermal stability of Se96Sn4 chalcogenide glass

Se₉₆Sn₄ chalcogenide glass was prepared by melt quenching technique and exposed, at room temperature, to different doses of 4, 8, 12, 24 and 33 kGy of high-energy ⁶⁰Co gamma irradiation. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used under non-isothermal condition to determine the glass transition temperature T_g, onset T_c and peak T_p temperatures of crystallization, of un-irradiated and γ-irradiated samples, at four different heating rates. The variation of T_g with heating rates was utilized to calculate the glass transition activation energy E_t for un-irradiated and γ-irradiated glass, using the methods suggested by Kissinger and Moynihan. Based on the obtained values of the characteristic temperatures T_g, T_c and T_p, thermal stability was monitored through the calculation of the S parameter and the crystallization rate factor 〈K_p〉 for irradiated and un-irradiated glass. Results reveal that, as γ-dose increases T_g increases up to 12 kGy then decreases at higher doses but remains more than that of un-irradiated glass. Meanwhile, both E_t and 〈K_p〉 attain their minimum values at the same dose of 12 kGy and the glass is thermally stable at this particular dose.
