Syntheses and molecular structures of four inorganic–organic hybrid compounds from N-containing aromatic bases and perchlorometallates of Zn,Cu, Sn,and Fe

Four organic–inorganic crystals, [(HL1)₂(ZnCl₄)]·H₂O (1) (L1?=?2-methylquinoline), [(HL1)₂(CuCl₄)] (2), [(HL2)₂SnCl₆] (3) (L2?=?6-bromobenzo[d]thiazol-2-amine), and [(HL3)FeCl₄] (4) (L3?=?5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-amine), derived from N-containing aromatic Brønsted bases and metal(II) chlorides (zinc(II) chloride, copper(II) chloride dihydrate, tin(II) chloride dihydrate, and iron(III) chloride hexahydrate) were prepared at room temperature and characterized by IR, X-ray structure analysis, elemental analysis, and TG analysis. The crystals are built up by perchlorometallates (Zn, Cu, Sn, and Fe) associated with organic cations through multiple non-covalent associations. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 and 2 have 3-D network structures built from hydrogen bonds between the cations and chlorometallates. Water molecules play an important role in structure extension in 1. Anhydrous 3 and 4 produced from 2-aminoheterocyclic derivatives display 2-D sheet structures. Arrangements of anions and cations are dominated by shape and size of cations, and also by the different structures of the chlorometallates as well as non-bonding interactions in the crystal structures. Except for 1, the other compounds are thermally stable below 240°C.     

Liquid–liquid extraction of copper(II) with substituted salicylideneanilines from sulfate media

The liquid–liquid extraction of copper(II) with Schiff bases in chloroform from sulfate media is studied for pH and concentration of the extractant. Stoichiometry coefficients of the extracted species are determined by the slope analysis method. With salicylideneaniline, the copper(II) is extracted as a mixed chelate complex, CuL₂HL. In the presence of substituent, the copper is extracted as simple chelates, CuL₂. The trends in the values of extraction constants were explained in terms of the nature of the substituents.     

Study of the three-dimensional Ising model on film geometry with the cluster Monte Carlo method

Topological properties of clusters are used to extract critical parameters. This method is tested for the bulk properties ofd=2 percolation and thed=2, 3 Ising model. For the latter we obtain an accurate value of the critical temperatureJ/k _B T _c=0.221617(18). In the case of thed=3 Ising model with film geometry the critical value of the surface coupling at the special transitions is determined as J_1c/J=1.5004(20) together with the critical exponents ₁ ^m =0.237(5) and=0.461(15).     

Thermal helium clusters at 3.2 Kelvin in classical and semiclassical simulations

The thermodynamic stability of⁴He_4–13 at 3.2 K is investigated with the classical Monte Carlo method, with the semiclassical path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) method, and with the semiclassical all-order many-body method. In the all-order many-body simulation the dipole-dipole approximation including short-range correction is used. The resulting stability plots are discussed and related to recent TOF experiments by Stephens and King. It is found that with classical Monte Carlo of course the characteristics of the measured mass spectrum cannot be resolved. With PIMC, switching on more and more quantum mechanics. by raising the number of virtual time steps results in more structure in the stability plot, but this did not lead to sufficient agreement with the TOF experiment. Only the all-order many-body method resolved the characteristic structures of the measured mass spectrum, including magic numbers. The result shows the influence of quantum statistics and quantum mechanics on the stability of small neutral helium clusters.     

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。     

Lower Energy α Elastic Scattering on ^20Ne and Anomaly of α＋^20Ne Scattering System

The α+²⁰Ne elastic scattering angular distributions at lower incident energies of Eα= 12.7--31.1 MeV have been analyzed by using the α-folding potential based on the α+¹⁶O structure model of the ²⁰Ne nucleus. The α-folding potential with a standard Woods-Saxon type imaginary part, can reasonably describe experimental cross sections and the anomalous large angle scattering (ALAS) features. The anomaly of the α+²⁰Ne scattering system is further confirmed in the lower incident energy region.     

Generation of hyperentangled four-photon cluster state via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

We propose a scheme for generating a hyperentangled four-photon cluster state that is simultaneously entangled in polarization modes and spatial modes. This scheme is based on linear optical elements, weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity, and homodyne detection. Therefore, it is feasible with current experimental technology.     

Detecting community structure using label propagation with consensus weight in complex network

Community detection is a fundamental work to analyse the structural and functional properties of complex networks.The label propagation algorithm(LPA) is a near linear time algorithm to find a good community structure. Despite various ubsequent advances, an important issue of this algorithm has not yet been properly addressed. Random update orders within the algorithm severely hamper the stability of the identified community structure. In this paper, we executed the asic label propagation algorithm on networks multiple times, to obtain a set of consensus partitions. Based on these onsensus partitions, we created a consensus weighted graph. In this consensus weighted graph, the weight value of the dge was the proportion value that the number of node pairs allocated in the same cluster was divided by the total number f partitions. Then, we introduced consensus weight to indicate the direction of label propagation. In label update steps,y computing the mixing value of consensus weight and label frequency, a node adopted the label which has the maximum mixing value instead of the most frequent one. For extending to different networks, we introduced a proportion parameter o adjust the proportion of consensus weight and label frequency in computing mixing value. Finally, we proposed an pproach named the label propagation algorithm with consensus weight(LPAcw), and the experimental results showed that he LPAcw could enhance considerably both the stability and the accuracy of community partitions.     

Formations of n-order two-soliton bound states in Bose–Einstein condensates with spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities

The formations of n-order two-soliton bound states (TSBSs) in the Bose–Einstein condensates with spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities are studied. Exact analytical expressions of the n-order TSBSs are derived by means of the similarity transformations. Further, the numerical simulations are carried out, consistent with the analytical results very well. The stability analysis shows that the solutions can be stable. Our results indicate that the attractive spatiotemporal inhomogeneous nonlinearities can support n-order TSBSs, which has the potential applications to the generation of matter-wave bright solitons in harmonic traps.     

Acoustic power dependences of sonoluminescence and bubble dynamics

The decreasing effect of sonoluminescence (SL) in water at high acoustic powers was investigated in relation to bubble dynamics and acoustic emission spectra. The intensity of SL was measured in the power range of 1–18 W at 83.8 kHz for open-end (free liquid surface and film-covered surface) and fixed-end boundaries of sound fields. The power dependence of the SL intensity showed a maximum and then decrease to zero for all the boundaries. Similar results were obtained for sonochemiluminescence in luminol solution. The power dependence of the SL intensity was strongly correlated with the bubble dynamics captured by high-speed photography at 64 k fps. In the low-power range where the SL intensity increases, bubble streamers were observed and the population of streaming bubbles increased with the power. At powers after SL maximum occurred, bubble clusters came into existence. Upon complete SL reduction, only bubble clusters were observed. The subharmonic in the acoustic emission spectra increased markedly in the region where bubble clusters were observed. Nonspherical oscillations of clustering bubbles may make a major contribution to the subharmonic.
