Sonochemical approach for synthesis of zinc oxide-poly methyl methacrylate hybrid nanoparticles and its application in corrosion inhibition

Hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) with zinc oxide and polymethyl metha acrylate (inorganic/ polymer) were synthesized through the exploitation of ultrasound approach. The synthesized HNPs were further characterized employing transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. ZnO-PMMA based HNPs exhibit excellent protection properties to mild steel from corrosion when gets exposed to acidic condition. Electrochemical impendence spectroscopy (EIS) analysis was accomplished to evaluate the corrosion inhibition performance of MS panel coated with 2 wt% or 4 wt% of HNPs and its comparison with bare panel and that of loaded with only standard epoxy coating., Tafel plot and Nyquist plot analysis depicted that the corrosion current density (I_corr) decreases from 16.7 A/m² for bare material to 0.103 A/m² for 4% coating of HNPs. Applied potential (E_corr) values shifted from negative to positive side. These results were further supported by qualitative analysis. The images taken over a period of time indicated the increase in lifetime of MS panel from 2 to 3 days for bare panel to 10 days for HNPs coated panel, showing that ZnO-PMMA HNPs have potential application in metal protection from corrosion by forming a passive layer.     

Second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses of magnetic nanoparticles in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction

Due to the unique magnetic, mechanical and thermal properties, magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) have comprehensive applications as the contrast and therapeutic agents in biomedical imaging and magnetic hyperthermia. The linear and nonlinear magnetoacoustic responses determined by the magnetic properties of MNPs have attracted more and more attention in biomedical engineering. By considering the relaxation time of MNPs, we derive the formulae of second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses(2H-MARs) for a cylindrical MNP solution model based on the mechanical oscillations of MNPs in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction(MAT-MI). It is proved that only the second harmonic magnetoacoustic oscillations can be generated by MNPs under an alternating magnetic excitation. The acoustic pressure of the 2H-MAR is proportional to the square of the magnetic field intensity and exhibits a linear increase with the concentration of MNPs. Numerical simulations of the 2H-MAR are confirmed by the experimental measurements for various magnetic field intensities and solution concentrations using a laser vibrometer. The favorable results demonstrate the feasibility of the harmonic measurements without the fundamental interference of the electromagnetic excitation, and suggest a new harmonic imaging strategy of MAT-MI for MNPs with enhanced spatial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio in biomedical applications.     

Optimal spectral phase control of femtosecond laser-induced up-conversion luminescence in Sm3+:NaYF4 glass

The spectral phase of the femtosecond laser field is an important parameter that affects the up-conversion(UC)luminescence efficiency of dopant lanthanide ions.In this work,we report an experi-mental study on controlling the UC lmiiinescence efficiency in Sm^3+:NaYF4 glass by 800-nm femtosec-ond laser pulse shaping using spectral phase modulation.The optimal phase control strategy efficiently enhances or suppresses the UC luminescence intensity.Based on the laser-power dependence of the UC luminescence intensity and its comparison with the luminescence spectrum under direct 266-nm fem-tosecond lciser irradiation,we propose herein an excitation model combining non-resonant two-photon absorption with resonance-media ted three-photon absorption to explain the experimental observations.

固溶体结构对Ca2-xSrxZn4Ti15O36∶Pr3+发光性质的影响

Ca_2-xSr_xZn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶Pr red long decay phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction. Photoluminescence property and crystalline and unit cell parameters of the orthorhombic were investigated by fluorescence spectrophotometer and by powder X-ray diffraction, respectively. The emission intensity at 618 nm changes sharply when the concentration of Sr²⁺ (x) is less than 0.1 and the emission intensity reaches the maximum when x is equal to 0.007. There is an obviously broad excitation band at 270 nm when x is equal to 0.003 and it disappears gradually when x is over 0.01. The unit cell a parameter of Ca_2-xSr_xZn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶Pr decreases while c parameter increases with the increases of the concentration of the doped Sr²⁺. When x is over 0.1 the value of the unit cell parameters a and c become stable. TL peaks of Ca₂Zn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶Pr, Ca_1.993Sr_0.007Zn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶0.002Pr³⁺, 0.002Na⁺, are located at 62 ℃, 88 ℃, respectively, which indicates that there are deeper traps in Ca_1.993Sr_0.007Zn₄Ti₁₅O₃₆∶0.002Pr³⁺, 0.002Na⁺.
