Cluster description of water-in-oil microemulsions near the critical and percolation points

The three-component ionic microemulsion system consisting of AOT/water/decane shows an unusual phase behavior in the vicinity of room temperature. The phase diagram in the temperature-volume fraction (of the dispersed phase) plane exhibits a lower consolute critical point at about 40 degrees centigrades and 10% volume fraction. A percolation line, starting from the vicinity of the critical point, cuts across the plane, extending to high volume fraction side at progressively lower temperatures. In this paper we review the evidence that allows to interpret the phase behavior of our system in terms of interacting spherical droplets. We also investigate the dynamics of droplets, below and approaching the critical point by dynamic light scattering. The first cumulant and time evolution of the droplet density correlation function can be quantitatively calculated by assuming the existence of polydispersed fractal clusters formed by the microemulsion droplets due to attraction. The relaxation phenomena observed in an extensive set of measurements of electrical conductivity and permittivity close to percolation is also reviewed and interpreted through the same cluster-forming mechanism, which reproduces the most relevant features of the frequency-dependent complex dielectric constant of this system.

高压下Pd82Si18合金凝固过程中形成的亚稳相

 使用X射线衍射、差热分析、透射电镜及Ｘ射线能谱分析，研究了Pd₈₂Si₁₈合金在高压下的凝固特点及所形成的相的结构和稳定性。在5.5 GPa压力下以100 K/s的冷却速率淬火，得到了面心立方结构钯硅固溶体（MS-Ⅰ），其点阵常数为a=0.388 3 nm。与钯硅固溶体共存的还有另一未知结构亚稳相（MS-Ⅱ）。在700 K时上述亚稳相转变成平衡相Pd+Pd₃Si。     

Convergent-beam electron diffraction of CaZr4O9, a complex zirconia alloy phase

The point-group and space-group symmetry of the controversial fluorite-based stoichiometric superlath phase of ø₁ (CaZr₄O₉: Z=16), considered to be a coherently-intergrown subphase of lime-stabilized zirconia, is examined. Using convergent-beam and selected-area electron diffraction, it is determined that the space group of ø₁ is C2/c, in apparent agreement with earlier studies utilizing other diffraction techniques.     

Search for a precursor crystal-to-crystal phase transition to amorphization in α-GeO2 and α-AlPO4 under pressure

Recent X-ray diffraction studies on α-quartz (SiO₂) by Kingmaet al [1], have shown the occurrence of a reversible, crystalline-to-crystalline, phase transition just prior to amorphization at ≈ 21 GPa. This precursor transition has also been confirmed by our recent molecular dynamics simulation study [2]. In order to investigate the possibility of a similar behaviour in other isostructural compounds, which also undergo pressure induced amorphization, α-GeO₂ and α-AlPO₄ (berlinite form) were studied using energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. In either of these materials, no such phase transition is detected prior to amorphization. The onset of amorphization and its reversal is found to be time dependent in GeO₂.

相位—啁啾调控对高次谐波光谱的影响

理论研究了在激光相位和啁啾调控共同影响下高次谐波光谱的变化。结果表明：当激光相位为0时,一阶啁啾调控使谐波能量延伸。二阶啁啾调控会呈现高强度谐波平台区。当激光相位为0.5π时,一阶啁啾调控可以获得连续平台区,但是强度较弱。在二阶啁啾调控下,谐波能量得到明显增大。通过谐波时频分析给出了不同激光波形下产生高次谐波光谱的原因。     

相变及空位缺陷对高压下GeO_2光学性质的影响

本文采用第一性原理方法,在100 GPa的压力范围内,计算了GeO_2理想晶体和含锗、氧空位点缺陷晶体的光学性质.吸收谱数据表明,压力诱导的三个结构相变对GeO_2晶体的吸收谱均有影响:第一个相变将导致其吸收边蓝移,而第二和第三相变将使得其吸收边红移.锗和氧空位点缺陷的存在将导致GeO_2的吸收边红移,但氧空位点缺陷引起的红移更明显.尽管如此,分析发现,在100 GPa的压力范围内,压力、相变以及空位点缺陷等因素都不会导致GeO_2晶体在可见光区出现光吸收现象(是透明的).波长在532 nm处的折射率数据显示,在GeO_2的四个相区,其折射率均随压力增加而降低;而且,GeO_2的三个结构相变以及锗、氧空位点缺陷都会导致其折射率有所增大.本文预测,GeO_2有成为冲击光学窗口材料的可能.     

多周期激光相位对H2+谐波频移的影响

理论研究了多周期激光相位角对H2+谐波频移的影响。结果表明,在多周期激光驱动下H2+谐波光谱在零相位时呈现蓝移现象。随着激光相位增大,谐波光谱由蓝移转向红移。随着激光相位进一步增大,谐波红移减弱。理论分析表明谐波频移是由激光上升和下降区域谐波辐射强度变化引起的。并且谐波辐射强度变化对激光相位比较敏感。     

Cr、Mn、Co、Ni掺杂对Al13Fe4相稳定性和力学性能影响的第一性原理研

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,系统地研究了不同掺杂浓度下过渡族元素Cr、Mn、Co、Ni在Al13Fe4相中的占位情况、结构稳定性和机械性能. 计算得到所有的Al13(Fe24-xMx) (M=Cr、Mn、Co、Ni;X=1,2,4)相都具有良好的热力学稳定性和机械稳定性. 相同掺杂浓度化合物的形成焓按如下顺序减小：Al78(Fe24-xCrx) > Al78(Fe24-xMnx) > Al13Fe4 > Al78(Fe24-xNix) > Al78(Fe24-xCox).形成焓的降低增加了Al13Fe4相成核驱动力,Co和Ni有利于促进Al-Fe合金中Al13Fe4相形核,细化Al13Fe4相. 过渡族元素可以改善金属间化合物的脆性,增强塑性变形能力. 并且随着掺杂浓度的增加,过渡族元素的加入对脆性的改善呈先增大后减小的趋势.
