区间规划问题的最优性条件

区间规划是带有区间参数的规划问题,是一种更易于求解实际问题的柔性规划。它是确定性优化问题的延伸,有区间线性规划和区间非线性规划两种形式。本文讨论了目标函数是区间函数的区间非线性问题。给出了区间规划问题最优性必要条件的较简单证明方法,并利用LU最优解的概念,在一类广义凸函数－(p,r)－ρ－(η,θ)－不变凸函数定义下讨论了最优性充分条件。     

液相阴极辉光放电原子发射光谱法高灵敏测定精铜矿中的铅和锌

由于重金属毒性大,且在环境、动物和人体器官中易积聚,因而在矿石开采、冶炼和加工之前,监测其中的微量重金属显得尤为重要。著名的原子光谱仪器,如原子荧光光谱(AFS)、原子吸收光谱(AAS)、电感耦合等离子体(ICP)等已广泛用于各种样品中元素的检测,但它们体积大、能耗高、价格昂贵、气体消耗大,这些缺点严重阻碍了野外现场的连续监测。为了满足分析仪器的微型化趋势,1993年Cserfalvi开发了一种电解液阴极放电原子发射光谱(ELCAD-AES)技术并将其用于分析检测中。该装置中,待测溶液以8～10 mL·min-1的流速从细管顶端溢出,然后沿管壁流入装满电解液的35 mL储液池中,以溢出溶液的液面作为放电阴极,在和流动液体电极相距2～4 mm处放一金属W(Ti)棒为阳极,细管浸入电解液并尖端向上弯曲超出储液池液面1～3 mm,细管顶端溢出的液体流入储液池并通过其中的碳棒与电源负极相连,从而构建放电系统。从那时起,为了提高激发效率和放电稳定性,人们对ELCAD进行了大量改进。基于ELCAD的特点,通过改进放电装置,建立了一种新的液相阴极辉光放电(LCGD)分析系统。该系统中,放电在直径0.5 mm的铂针阳极和内径1 mm的毛细管顶端溢出的溶液阴极之间的间隙中产生。毛细管上端和铂丝之间的间隙为2 mm,毛细管插入石墨管且露出石墨管的距离为2.5 mm。样品溶液以4.5 mL·min-1从毛细管顶端溢出流经石墨管上的凹槽,石墨管和电源负极连接。与ELCAD相比,LCGD的优点在于：Pt针做阳极,可形成尖端放电,从而降低能耗(<60 W),提高激发效率;蠕动泵管上打结,可降低泵的脉动性,提高放电的稳定性;石墨管链接电源负极,删除ELCAD中的储液池,使样品消耗更少。为了评估方法的分析性能,用LCGD测定了HNO₃-HCl消化的精铜矿样品中的铅和锌。系统研究了放电稳定性以及放电电压、溶液流速、支持电解质和溶液pH对发射强度的影响,并将LCGD与其他ELCAD的分析性能进行比较。此外,用ICP对LCGD的测试结果进行验证,t检验分析两种结果的差异性。结果表明,当电压从620升高到680 V,发射强度逐渐增大,这是因为电压升高,激发能量增大,单位体积内激发的金属原子增多,激发效率提高。考虑到放电稳定性,选择650 V为最佳放电电压。当流速从2.5增加到4.5 mL·min-1时,发射强度增加,这是由于流速增加导致进入放电区的样品量增加,发射强度增强;流速高于4.5 mL·min-1后,发射强度有下降的趋势,这是由于水荷载的增加引起放电区能量密度降低以及过量水加热消耗了用于激发样品的能量,导致激发能量降低。因此,选择最佳流速为4.5 mL·min-1。pH=1的HNO₃具有较高的激发强度,因而选择pH=1为最佳pH。最佳条件下,Pb和Zn的检出限分别为0.38和0.59 mg·L-1,相对标准偏差分别为0.9%和1.2%,功率低于60 W。实验中的检出限与其他类似方法所测结果有一定差距,这可能与所选谱仪有关。固定激发波长下研究发现,放电过程有较好的稳定性。矿石样品中Pb和Zn的回收率在87.6%~107.4％,LCGD测试结果与ICP基本一致,两种方法基本无显著性差异。与ICP相比,LCGD具有低能耗、高激发效率、小型便携等优点。随着进一步改进,有望开发出可用于实时、在线检测金属元素的微型化仪器。     

Electromagnetic Properties of a New Microwave Plasma Torch with Double Resonance Configuration

In order to obtain a stable plasma and improve the performance of the torch for atomic emission spectroscopy(AES), the structure of microwave plasma torch(MPT) was analyzed. The transmission and distribution characteristics of the electromagnetic field of the torch configuration with two or three concentric tubes, as well as the metal spacer between inner and intermediate tubes with different depths were simulated with electromagnetic simulation software and verified by experiments. The results indicate that the inner tube of MPT plays an important role in strengthening the electric field intensity at the opening end of the MPT and redistributing the electromagnetic field in the whole torch by forming a double resonance configuration, and contributes to enhancing the macroscopic stability and the self-sustainment of the plasma. The stability of the plasma is proved to be excellent when the metal spacer between the inner and intermediate tubes is located at a place 20—30 mm away from the top opening of the torch. A proper location of the spacer can also avoid the formation of a static filament plasma or a rotating plasma rooted from the outer wall of the inner tube. With the help of morphological analysis, the underlying reason why MPT possesses a great tolerance to wet aerosols and air introduction was clearly made, that is, the formation region of the plasma formed with MPT is apparently separated from the reaction zone of it.     

Implementation of an 8-bit bit-slice AES S-box with rapid single flux quantum circuits

Rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) circuits are a kind of superconducting digital circuits, having properties of a natural gate-level pipelining synchronous sequential circuit, which demonstrates high energy efficiency and high throughput advantage. We find that the high-throughput and high-speed performance of RSFQ circuits can take the advantage of a hardware implementation of the encryption algorithm, whereas these are rarely applied to this field. Among the available encryption algorithms, the advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm is an advanced encryption standard algorithm. It is currently the most widely used symmetric cryptography algorithm. In this work, we aim to demonstrate the SubByte operation of an AES-128 algorithm using RSFQ circuits based on the SIMIT Nb03 process. We design an AES S-bbox circuit in the RSFQ logic, and compare its operational frequency, power dissipation, and throughput with those of the CMOS-based circuit post-simulated in the same structure. The complete RSFQ S-bbox circuit costs a total of 42237 Josephson junctions with nearly 130 Gbps throughput under the maximum simulated frequency of 16.28 GHz. Our analysis shows that the frequency and throughput of the RSFQ-based S-bbox are about four times higher than those of the CMOS-based S-bbox. Further, we design and fabricate a few typical modules of the S-box. Subsequent measurements demonstrate the correct functioning of the modules in both low and high frequencies up to 28.8 GHz.     

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering investigations on silver nanoparticles deposited on alumina and titania nanotubes: influence of the substrate material on surface‐enhanced Raman scattering activity of Ag nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles deposited on various ‘inert’ porous materials (mainly Al₂O₃ and TiO₂) are often used as substrates for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements. In this study, we used the sputter deposition technique to cover tubular arrays of Al₂O₃ and TiO₂ with Ag nanoparticles. Raman spectra of pyridine (as a probe molecule) and of two selected dyes (5‐(4‐dimethylaminobenzylidene)rhodanine and 5‐(4‐(dimethylamino)benzylidene)‐3‐(3‐methoxypropyl)rhodanine) adsorbed on fabricated Ag/TiO₂‐n/Ti and Ag/Al₂O₃‐n/Al substrates were measured. We found that the SERS spectra of pyridine adsorbed on Ag nanoparticles deposited on an Al₂O₃‐n/Al substrate are distinctly different from those measured for an Ag/TiO₂‐n/Ti composite. Similar effects were observed for dyes adsorbed on the surface of both composites. The spectral differences between two kinds of composites (Ag/TiO₂‐n/Ti and Ag/Al₂O₃‐n/Al) are discussed in terms of (1) the modified electronic structure of the Ag nanoparticles due to their interaction with different substrate materials and (2) the different atomic topology of the metal particles thus deposited on the surfaces of the substrates. Composite samples were also studied with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) to reveal their characteristic morphological and chemical features.

Concentration effect of Tm on cathodoluminescence properties of SiO2:Tm and SiO2:Ho,Tm systems

Cathodoluminescence (CL) properties of SiO₂ powders activated with thulium (Tm³⁺) and holmium (Ho³⁺) ions prepared by a sol–gel process were investigated. Different molar concentrations of Tm³⁺ co-doped with Ho³⁺ were studied. The 460 nm peak was monitored and the influence of the beam energy and concentration of Tm³⁺ ions on the emission properties of this peak was also monitored. The peculiar behavior whereby the 460 nm emission peak decreases and the increase in the 705 and 865 nm peaks with the increase in the concentration of Tm³⁺ ions is reported. The relationship between the accelerating beam voltage and the CL intensity of the blue emission peak (460 nm peak) is established. Morphology, particle size and optical properties were characterized with Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV/VIS Lambda 750 S spectrometer and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) equipped with Ocean Optics S2000, respectively.     

In-situ study on thermal decomposition of 1,3-disilabutane to silicon carbide on Si(1 0 0) surface

The intermediates of thermal decomposition of 1,3-disilabutane (SiH₃CH₂SiH₂CH₃, DSB) to form SiC on Si(1 0 0) surface were in situ investigated by reactive ion scattering (RIS), temperature programmed reactive ion scattering (TPRIS), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and auger electron spectroscopy (AES). DSB as a single molecular precursor was exposed on Si(1 0 0) surface at a low temperature less than 100 K, and then the substrate was heated up to 1000 K. RIS, TPD, and AES investigations showed that DSB adsorbed molecularly and decomposed to SiC via some intermediates on Si(1 0 0) surface as substrate temperature increasing. Between 117 and 150 K molecularly adsorbed DSB desorbed partially and decomposed to CH₄Si₂, which is the first observation on Si(1 0 0) surface, and further decomposed to CH₄Si between 150 and 900 K. CH₄Si lost hydrogen and formed SiC over 900 K.     

Application of surface analysis methods to nanomaterials: summary of ISO/TC 201 technical report: ISO 14187:2011 – surface chemical analysis – characterization of nanomaterials

The ISO technical report 14187 provides an introduction to (and examples of) the information that can be obtained about nanostructured materials by using surface analysis tools. In addition, both general issues and challenges associated with characterizing nanostructured materials and the specific opportunities and challenges associated with individual analytical methods are identified. As the size of objects or components of materials approaches a few nanometers, the distinctions among ‘bulk’, ‘surface’, and ‘particle’ analysis blur. This technical report focuses on issues specifically relevant to surface chemical analysis of nanostructured materials. The report considers a variety of analysis methods but focuses on techniques that are in the domain of ISO/TC 201 including Auger electron spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and scanning probe microscopy. Measurements of nanoparticle surface properties such as surface potential that are often made in a solution are not discussed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
