The Initial Reactions of H3PO4 and NaH2PO4Supported on Silica: A Joint Experimental and Theoretical Study

利用XRD、TG、DRIFTS、31P MAS NMR和密度泛函理论研究了浸渍法制备的硅胶负载型磷酸和磷酸二氢钠催化剂,阐明了催化剂制备过程中生成的初始缩合产物和其反应机理. 光谱试验结果显示,在二氧化硅负载的磷酸上,除了聚磷酸外,还有硅磷酸盐的存在;在二氧化硅负载的磷酸二氢钠上,仅发现聚磷酸钠存在. 密度泛函模拟结果也证明,磷酸与二氧化硅表面硅羟基之间的反应在缩合反应的初始阶段比其自身的二聚反应更为有利. 但是在硅胶负载的磷酸二氢钠上,磷酸二氢钠的二聚和三聚是缩合反应初始阶段的主要反应.     

Concentrated second‐harmonic generation from a single Al‐covered ZnS nanobelt

Here we report on the hybrid nanostructures where a single ZnS nanobelt was half‐covered with an aluminum (Al) film, which is an ideal platform for studying the second‐harmonic generation (SHG) enhancement effects of the Al coating. It was fabricated by the lift‐off process and allowed for the accurate comparison of the SHG intensity between the Al‐covered and the same bare ZnS nanobelt under consistent test conditions. The results indicate that the Al coating in the hybrid nanostructures not only confines the pumping laser in the ZnS effectively, but also concentrates the emitted SHG signal greatly, increasing the signal collection efficiency. By the combination of these two effects, ∼60 times enhancement of the SHG intensity is achieved at the optimized geometry size (width and thickness) of the ZnS nanobelts. The Al‐based hybrid nanostructures open up new possibilities for low‐cost, highly efficient and directional coherent nanolight sources at short wavelengths.

     

Short Terahertz Pulse Generation from a Dispersion Compensated Modelocked Semiconductor Laser

Dispersion compensation is vital for the generation of ultrashort and single cycle pulses from modelocked lasers across the electromagnetic spectrum. It is typically based on addition of an extra dispersive element to the laser cavity that introduces a chromatic dispersion opposite to that of the gain medium. To date, however, no dispersion compensation schemes have been successfully applied to terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers for short and stable pulse generation in the THz range. In this work, a monolithic on‐chip compensation scheme is realized for a modelocked QCL, permitting THz pulses to be considerably shortened from 16ps to 4ps. This is based on the realization of a small coupled cavity resonator that acts as an ‘off resonance’ Gires‐Tournois interferometer (GTI), permitting large THz spectral bandwidths to be compensated. This novel application of a GTI opens up a direct and simple route to sub‐picosecond and single cycle pulses in the THz range from a compact semiconductor source.     

Dynamic Thermal Emission Control Based on Ultrathin Plasmonic Metamaterials Including Phase‐Changing Material GST

Dynamic thermal emission control has attracted growing interest in a broad range of fields, including radiative cooling, thermophotovoltaics and adaptive camouflage. Previous demonstrations of dynamic thermal emission control present disadvantages of either large thickness or requiring sustained electrical or thermal excitations. In this paper, an ultrathin (∼0.023λ, λ is the emission peak wavelength) metal‐insulator‐metal plasmonic metamaterial‐based zero‐static‐power mid‐infrared thermal emitter incorporating phase‐changing material GST is experimentally demonstrated to dynamically control the thermal emission. The electromagnetic modes can be continuously tuned through the intermediate phases determined by controlling the temperature. A typical resonance mode, which involves the coupling between the high‐order magnetic resonance and anti‐reflection resonance, shifts from 6.51 to 9.33 μm while GST is tuned from amorphous to crystalline phase. This demonstration will pave the way towards the dynamical thermal emission control in both the fundamental science field and a number of energy‐harvesting applications.     

Ca(BH4)2络合物电子结构及热力学稳定性的第一性原理研究

利用第一性原理研究了低温及高温相Ca(BH4)2络合物的电子结构、晶格振动及其反应焓。计算结果表明：低温及高温相Ca(BH4)2中Ca+2与[BH4]－以离子键形式相结合,[BH4]－离子中B原子和H原子以共价键形式相结合,对该共价键有贡献的主要是B原子的2p轨道电子,H原子的1s轨道电子。Ca(BH4)2可能的反应路径为：Ca(BH4)2→2CaH2+CaB6+10H2,该反应在300K下反应焓为43.22 kJ/mol H2。拉伸B—H键所对应的声子频率较高,其值为2360～2500cm-1,这可能是导致B—H键断裂释放氢气需要较高温度的主要原因之一。

Monte Carlo simulation of electron beam air plasma characteristics

A high-energy electron beam generator is used to generate a plasma in atmosphere. Based on a Monte Carlo toolkit named GEANT4, a model including complete physics processes is established to simulate the passage of the electron beam in air. Based on the model, the characteristics of the electron beam air plasma are calculated. The energy distribution of beam electrons (BEs) indicates that high-energy electrons almost reside in the centre region of the beam, but low-energy electrons always live in the fringe area. The energy deposition is calculated in two cases, i.e., with and without secondary electrons (SEs). Analysis indicates that the energy deposition of SEs accounts for a large part of the total energy deposition. The results of the energy spectrum show that the electrons in the inlet layer of the low-pressure chamber (LPC) are monoenergetic, but the energy spectrum of the electrons in the outlet layer is not pure. The SEs are largely generated at the outlet of the LPC. Moreover, both the energy distribution of BEs and the magnitude of the density of SEs are closely related to the pressure of LPC. Thus, a conclusion is drawn that a low magnitude of LPC pressure is helpful for reducing the energy loss in the LPC and also useful for greatly increasing the secondary electron density in dense air.

甲酸钠增敏鲁米诺化学发光机理研究及应用

在表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)存在下,传统意义上的自由基清除剂甲酸钠反而对铬酸钾一鲁米诺-腺嘌呤化学发光体系表现出了很好的化学发光增敏效果,文章通过化学发光发射光谱,紫外可见光谱及化学反应等手段探讨了这一化学发光体系的增敏机理,结果表明:化学发光体系的增敏是由于反应体系中甲酸钠的存在使原有发光体系中的羟基自由基(OH·)转化为氧自由基(O2·)所致.以此为基础建立了流动注射化学发光法测定腺嘌呤的高灵敏方法,腺嘌呤在2.45×10-11～8.18×10-9 mol·L-1范围内成良好的线性关系(R2=0.999 3),检出限为8.72×10-12 mol·L-1.该法已成功用于测定维生素B4药品中的腺嘌呤的含量,结果令人满意.
