Ability of the radial basis function approach to extrapolate nuclear mass

The ability of the radial basis function(RBF) approach to extrapolate the masses of nuclei in neutron-rich and superheavy regions is investigated in combination with the Duflo-Zuker(DZ31), Hartree–Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB27), finite-range droplet model(FRDM12) and Weizs?cker-Skyrme(WS4) mass models. It is found that when the RBF approach is employed with a simple linear basis function, different mass models have different performances in extrapolating nuclear masses in the same region, and a single mass model may have different performances when it is used to extrapolate nuclear masses in different regions. The WS4 and FRDM12 models(two macroscopic–microscopic mass models), combined with the RBF approach, may perform better when extrapolating the nuclear mass in the neutron-rich and superheavy regions.

Adsorbing behavior of polycarboxylate superplasticizer in the presence of the ester group in side chain

The effect of the ester group in side chain on adsorbing behavior and dispersion of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PC) was studied by comparing the performance of two types of PC. The fluidity of cement paste was tested to discuss the dispersing ability and dispersing retention ability of PC. The total organic carbon analyzer was used to measure the adsorption amount, and the adsorption layer was obtained by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and pH value were used to verify the stability of the ester group, and the electrokinetic properties of cement particle were confirmed using the zeta potential measurement. The results show that the ester group in side chain reduces the initial dispersing ability while it increases the dispersing retention ability. The dispersing retention ability depends on the increase of adsorption amount and adsorption layer in 5–60 minutes, and the greater increase leads to the better dispersing retention ability. The ester group can be decomposed to release carboxyl group to enhance the adsorbing ability of PC under the condition of cement hydration, which is the main reason for the greater increase of adsorption amount and adsorption layer and the improvement in dispersing retention ability. It suggests that grafting the ester group is a good way to enhance the dispersing retention ability.     

Discrepancy of structural stability against temperature between metallic liquids and their glasses

The stability of the disordered structure in liquid or glass states could be characterized by the glass-forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability (TS), respectively. The two quantities are often, but not always, positively correlated. Here we show that the discrepancy between GFA and TS originates from the competition between entropy and enthalpy which fairly much relies on local structural characteristics. This inherent interaction and competition determines hierarchy of phase stability against temperature. As a result, the time susceptibility of GFA and temperature susceptibility of TS were derived from the time-temperature-transformation diagram, which are coincided with the above mentioned entropy-enthalpy competition perspective. Thus, the interrelationship among entropy, enthalpy and local cluster feature provides a potential resolution to design and optimize glass formers, and have implications for better understanding the nature of glass transition.

Crystallization kinetics, glass transition kinetics, and thermal stability of Se70−xGa30Inx (x=5, 10, 15, and 20) semiconducting glasses

Crystallization and glass transition kinetics of Se_70−xGa₃₀In_x (x=5, 10, 15, and 20) semiconducting chalcogenide glasses were studied under non-isothermal condition using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). DSC thermograms of the samples were recorded at four different heating rates 5, 10, 15, and 20 K/min. The variation of the glass transition temperature (T_g) with the heating rate (β) was used to calculate the glass transition activation energy (E_t) using two different models. Meanwhile, the variation of the peak temperature of crystallization (T_p) with β was utilized to deduce the crystallization activation energy (E_c) using Kissinger, Augis-Bennet, and Takhor models. Results reveal that E_t decreases with increasing In content, while both T_g and E_c exhibit the opposite behavior, and the crystal growth occurs in one dimension. The variation of these thermal parameters with the average coordination number <Z> was also discussed, and the results were interpreted in terms of the type of bonding that In makes with Se. Assessment of thermal stability and glass forming ability (GFA) was carried out on the basis of some quantitative criteria and the results indicate that thermal stability is enhanced while the crystallization rate is reduced with the addition of In to Se-Ga glass.     

Quantitative T(1)(ρ) imaging using phase cycling for B0 and B1 field inhomogeneity compensation

T_1ρ imaging is useful in a number of clinical applications. T_1ρ preparation methods, however, are sensitive to non-uniformities of the B₀ magnetic field and the B₁ RF field. These common system imperfections can result in image artifacts and quantification errors in T_1ρ imaging. We report on a phase-cycling method which can eliminate B₁ RF inhomogeneity effects in T_1ρ imaging. This method does not only correct for image artifacts but also for T_2ρ contamination caused by B₁ RF inhomogeneity. The presence of B₀ magnetic field inhomogeneity can compromise the effectiveness of this method for B₁ RF inhomogeneity correction. We demonstrate that, by combining the spin-locking scheme reported by Dixon et al. (Myocardial suppression in vivo by spin locking with composite pulses. Magn Reson Med 1996; 36:90-94) with phase cycling, we can simultaneously correct B₀ magnetic field inhomogeneity effects and B₁ RF inhomogeneity effects in T_1ρ imaging. Phantom and in vivo data sets are used to demonstrate the proposed methods and to compare them with other existing T_1ρ preparation methods.
