Crystallization temperatures of thin Co−Zr amorphous alloy films from electron diffraction

The transformation of amorphous thin alloy films of Co–Zr to the crystalline state was observed with an electron microscope in the diffraction mode. This investigation elucidates the crystallization temperatures,T _x , of thin films as opposed to theT _x presented for thicker samples; usually melt-quenched in the thickness range of 20–50 m. TheT _x of the thin films are compared also with theT _x for sputtered alloys of Co–Zr at 5 m.     

Laser-induced pattern formation from homogeneous polyisoprene solutions

This paper reports that the pattern formation in homogeneous solutions of polyisoprene in toluene saturated with C60 induced by a continuous-wave visible laser is observed experimentally. The transmitted beam patterns change with the increase of the laser irradiation time. In the initial phase, the patterns with concentric ring-shaped structure are formed. In the end, the patterns become speckle-shaped. The incubation time of the transmitted beam widening is inversely proportional to the laser power density and solution concentration. The pattern formation results from the optical-field-induced refractive index changes in the solutions, but the mechanism of optical-field-induced refractive index changes in the polymer solutions needs to be further studied.

热击处理对离体子叶培养物花芽分化与可溶性蛋白谱的影响

黄瓜幼苗胚轴的不同部位对离子体子叶培养物器官分化的影响是不同的,热击处理具不同长度胚轴的黄瓜幼苗,其子叶培养物的直接花芽分化率不同,其中以单去根处理的为最高,去根＋去／2胚轴的为最低,对照和去根＋去3／4胚轴的居中,结果提示胚轴中存在着与成花有关的促进和／或抑制因子,热击无根苗产生了分子量约为67－94kD的热激蛋白,热击处理还使中性区域蛋白质含量下降。

大质量恒星的形成:理论与观测

文章简要叙述了有关大质量恒星形成的理论以及相关观测证据。目前大质量恒星形成的理论主要有两种，即吸积说和并合说．吸积说认为，大质量星可能与小质量星形成于相似的过程；并合说主张大质量星可能是由小质量年轻星碰撞合并而成．解决这两种理论争论的关键在于在大质量星附近能否观测到吸积盘的存在，最新的观测表明大质量星更有可能是通过吸积增加自身的质量，但最终解决这一问题可能还需要更多的观测证据。文章还提出了一些本领域尚未解决的问题，为感兴趣的研究者提供参考。     

Modification of a three-way catalyst washcoat by aging: A study along the longitudinal axis

This work reports the research carried out by studying aliquots extracted at different axial coordinates from Three Way Catalyst (TWC) monoliths aged under real traffic conditions. Our study focused on the catalytic properties and on several chemical and physical effects caused in the Front and Rear monolith washcoat surfaces by vehicle aging after 60,000 km. Regarding the catalytic properties, all the used aliquots showed poorer activity than their corresponding fresh counterparts. The strongest deactivation was detected for NO and hydrocarbon conversion. CO conversion was less affected and the Rear monolith was as deactivated as the Front one. The characterisation techniques (TXRF, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, XRD and H₂-TPR) detected - (i) the deposition of P, Zn and Pb; (ii) the formation of CePO₄ on account of the Ce from the washcoat; (iii) thermal sintering; (iv) inhibition of the reducibility of Ce oxides - as the main effects brought about by vehicle aging conditions. The deactivation observed at the beginning of the Front monolith was the result of a combination of the former effects. When moving downstream to higher axial coordinates, Pb accumulation and the loss of specific area appeared to be the only probable sources of deactivation.
