Structural Phase Transformations of ZnS Nanocrystalline Under High Pressure

In-situ energy dispersive x-ray diffraction on ZnS nanocrystalline was carried out under high pressure by using a diamond anvil cell. Phase transition of wurtzite of 10nm ZnS to rocksalt occurred at 16.0GPa, which was higher than that of the bulk materials. The structures of ZnS nanocrystalline at different pressures were built by using materials studio and the bulk modulus, and the pressure derivative of ZnS nanocrystalline were derived by fitting the equation of Birch-Murnaghan. The resulting modulus was higher than that of the corresponding bulk material, which indicates that the nanomaterial has higher hardness than its bulk materials.

复映射z←z^w＋c（w=α＋iβ）的广义M集的外部结构

为探讨Mandelbrot集（简称M集）的外部结构，Philip曾提出了“区域分解”和“角度分解”方法。本文推广了这两种方法，提出了等势线和色彩调配法，并利用这四种方法构造了复映射z←z^w c(w=α iβ）的广义M集的外部结构图。研究表明广义M集的外部结构具有分形特征，其断裂的原因是主幅角选取的不连续性。     

Two New Ionone Derivatives from Rhododendron przewalskii Maxim

Two new ionone derivatives,named rhododendrone and rhododendronside,were isolated from the alcohoilc extract of the aerial parts of Rhododendron przwalskii Maxim.Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis.     

Preparation and Optical Properties of SnO2／SiO2 Nanocomposite

SnO2/SiO2 nanocomposites have been prepared by the soaking-thermal-decomposing method, tin oxide nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the mesopores of silica. The optical absorption edge of the obtained nanocomposite presents a redshift compared with bulk tin oxide, With the increasing annealing temperature during the procedure of the sample preparation, the optical absorption edge of the sample moves to shorter wavelength (blueshift). These optical properties can be ascribed to the amorphous structure and band defects of surface layers of the tin oxide nanoparticles.

绿臭蛙皮中与神经降压肽有关的绿臭蛙降压肽的分离及其化学和生物学特征

本文利用Sep-Pak Cu和反相HPLC从我国产绿臭蛙皮的甲醇提取物中分得一新的神经降压肽类似物:绿臭蛙降压肽。其结构为Asp-Lys-Arg-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Leu-His-Glu。此结构与神经降压肽羧端部分结构相似。但比后者多出残基His-Glu。相应的合成品与天然肽在高效液相色谱、氨基酸分析和生物测定中均表现一致。此肽对大鼠产生降血压效应,但作用比神经降压肽弱。该肽对豚鼠回肠制品有很强的和可重复的收缩活性,这一点又与两栖动物皮肤中另一神经降压肽类似物——xenopsin的相应活性有别。     

新超导体MgCNi3的虚晶掺杂研究

用全势线性缀加平面波方法,考虑局域自旋密度近似研究虚晶掺杂MgCNi3的超导电性和磁性.计算了自旋极化能带结构、体弹性模量和它对压力的导数、原子磁矩 m 及其变化率.计算结果表明,对于电子掺杂的Mg1-xAlxCNi3(0≤x≤0.5), 超导电性和磁涨落随掺杂量的增加逐渐减小.空穴掺杂的Mg1-xNaxCNi3,在x＝0.12处出现铁磁相变,超导电性消失.在MgCNi3少量空穴掺杂区域(0≤x<0.12),表现为超导与磁涨落共存的不稳定状态.
