NO Adsorption on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) Bimetallic Surfaces: Unexpected Formation of Nitrite/nitrate Surface Species

NO adsorption on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) bimetallic surfaces at room temperature was inves-tigated by means of Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermal desorption spectroscopy. An unexpected formation of nitrite/nitrate surface species on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) bimetallic surfaces is observed, then decompose at elevated tempera-tures to form N₂. However, such nitrite/nitrate surface species do not form on clean Pt(110) and Ag-Pt alloy surfaces upon NO exposure at room temperature. The formation of ni-trite/nitrate surface species on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) bimetallic surfaces is attributed to highreactivity of highly coordination-unsaturated Ag clusters and the synergetic effect between Ag clusters and Pt substrate.     

全氟壬烯氧基苯磺酸钠与烷基季铵盐的相互作用

通过六氟丙烯三聚体(全氟壬烯)氧基苯磺酸钠(C₉F₁₇OC₆H₄SO₃Na, OBS)与阳离子碳氢表面活性剂C_nNR[C_nH_2n+1N(CH₃)₃Br, C_nNM, n=8, 10和C_nH_2n+1N(CH₂CH₃)₃Br, C_nNE, n=8, 10, 12]复配, 研究了OBS与C_nNR的摩尔比、 C_nNR疏水链长及C_nNR亲水基团大小对此类阴、 阳离子碳氟-碳氢表面活性剂混合体系的临界胶束浓度(cmc)、 最低表面张力(γ_cmc)、 总饱和吸附量(Γ_tm)及极限分子面积(A_min)的影响. 结果表明, 通过与C_nNR复配, OBS的cmc和γ_cmc均大幅下降, 达到了全面增效的结果. 不同摩尔比的OBS-C₈NE混合体系中, 摩尔比为1:1时表面活性最好, cmc和γ_cmc均最小; 偏离等摩尔比时, OBS过量时混合体系的cmc小于C₈NE过量时混合体系的cmc, 但γ_cmc相差不大. 与单体系相比, OBS-C₈NE混合体系的Γ_tm明显增大、 A_min明显变小. OBS与不同疏水链长的C_nNE复配时, cmc的变化规律为C₈NE>C₁₀NE>C₁₂NE, 表明C_nNE疏水链长的增加能降低混合体系的cmc. 通过比较C_nNM和C_nNE(n=8, 10)的表面活性发现, 改变混合体系中C_nNR的亲水基团大小对混合体系的表面活性无明显影响.     

Periodic solutions and stability of a tethered satellite system

In this paper, several criteria on the existence of periodic solutions for a tethered satellite system (TSS) in an elliptical orbit, as well as the uniqueness of periodic solutions for the TSS in a circular orbit are presented on the basis of coincidence degree theory. In addition, the conditions on the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium states for the TSS are also addressed in accordance with the Lyapunov stability theory and Barbashin–Krasovski theory.     

双脉冲注入式LD模块的红外能级寿命可见区测试系统

Er3+的4I_13/2能级寿命的长短对评估Er3+掺杂材料在光通讯波段的应用十分重要。基于980 nm双脉冲注入式LD激发下的Er3+激发态吸收上转换发光,测量在不同双脉冲时间间隔下的上转换红光发光强度,再根据上转换红光的发光强度随双脉冲时间间隔的变化关系,推导出了Er3+红外4I_13/2能级寿命的拟合公式,实现了红外能级寿命的可见区测量。因此,结合兼具时间间隔可调和同步脉冲取样的双脉冲注入式LD模块和光电倍增管(R2658),就可以实现所有Er3+红外能级寿命的测量,这是一种十分经济的微秒量级荧光寿命测试系统。     

真空热处理人工林落叶松木材吸湿性变化机理研究

热处理是一种环境友好型的木材改性方法,可提高木材的耐腐性和尺寸稳定性。研究以落叶松木材为试验材料,在处理温度200 ℃的条件下,对其进行了不同时间的真空热处理。利用动态水蒸气吸附(DVS)对热处理前后木材吸湿性的变化进行了表征,通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和X射线衍射(XRD)分析了热处理前后木材化学组分和结构变化,通过化学变化分析阐明了热处理木材吸湿性变化的作用机制。结果表明：真空热处理落叶松木材的平衡含水率降低,热处理木材的平衡含水率随热处理时间的延长呈逐渐下降的趋势。结合红外光谱和光电子能谱发现,热处理后木材纤维素和半纤维素等化学成分发生降解,木质素发生交联缩合反应,使得吸湿性基团含量减少,碳元素与氧元素含量发生变化,氧碳比降低,从C原子的结合形式来看,热处理材的C1含量增加,C2和C3含量降低,这些化学变化使得热处理材的吸湿性降低。此外,真空热处理未破坏木材的结晶结构,木材的相对结晶度随真空热处理时间的延长而增大,结晶度的增大减少了纤维素分子链上吸水性基团的数量,从而降低了木材的吸湿性。     

Three-phase coupled modelling research on rain–wind induced vibration of stay cable based on lubrication theory

Cables of cable-stayed bridges may vibrate with large amplitude under wind and rain, which is known as rain–wind induced vibration (RWIV). According to the pervious researches, the formations and oscillations of rivulets on stay cable surface play important roles in RWIV. In this paper, four different 2D models are presented based on lubrication theory, and the best way of simulating RWIV through lubrication theory is confirmed by the comparisons of rivulet motions and cable vibration responses between these four models and pervious researches. On this basis, the relations among rivulet motions, cable aerodynamic forces and vibration responses are investigated to reveal the mechanism of RWIV. Numerical simulation results show that when RWIV occurs, the periodic oscillations of rivulets around cable lead to the periodic fluctuations of cable lift and drag, whose frequencies are almost equal and close to cable natural frequency. Under the periodically fluctuant lift and drag, cable vibrates with large amplitude in across-wind and along-wind directions, which may further enhance the circumferential oscillations of rivulets conversely. These confirm the conclusion that the resonance between rivulets and cable oscillation may be one of the main reasons for RWIV.     

Calculation and analysis of Mueller matrix in light scattering detection

A new criterion for target detection and identification is proposed to realize metal/dielectric identification and recognition based on Mueller matrix analysis. By using randomly rough surfaces as targets, numerical calculations are used to prove the robustness and accuracy of the criterion. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to successfully explain the criterion by theoretical analysis. We believe the work orovides an important reference for polarization imaging in laser radar and remote sensing, and so on.     

Different influences of nucleating agents on crystallization behavior of polyethylene and polypropylene

The crystallization behavior of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), including the neat ones and the ones nucleated with the same nucleating agent (NA), was studied by DSC. It was found that the nucleating agent decelerated the PE nonisothermal crystallization process. NA did enhance the nucleating rates for both PE and PP, but the linear growth rate dominated the volumetric growth rate for PE, and the volumetric growth rate dominated the overall crystallization rate. That is why PE nucleated with NA had a slower overall crystallization rate than the neat one.     

The abnormal behavior of polymers glass transition temperature increase and its mechanism

In terms of the classical theory in textbooks, the two components with phase separation in a binary polymer blend will, depending on their compatibility, have their respective Tg get closer or remain in their original values. According to the classical theory, the Tg of plastic component shall remain unchanged or move toward the lower Tg of rubber component in a rubber/plastic blend. However, ultra-fine full-vulcanized powdered rubber (UFPR) with a diameter of ca. 100 nm can simultaneously increase the toughness and the Tg of plastics, which is abnormal and is difficult to explain by classical theory. In this feature article, the abnormal behavior and its mechanism are discussed in detail.
