Analytical solutions for some defect problems in 1D hexagonal and 2D octagonal quasicrystals

We study some typical defect problems in one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal and two-dimensional (2D) octagonal quasicrystals. The first part of this investigation addresses in detail a uniformly moving screw dislocation in a 1D hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal with point group 6mm. A general solution is derived in terms of two functions φ ₁, φ ₂, which satisfy wave equations, and another harmonic function φ ₃. Elementary expressions for the phonon and phason displacements, strains, stresses, electric potential, electric fields and electric displacements induced by the moving screw dislocation are then arrived at by employing the obtained general solution. The derived solution is verified by comparison with existing solutions. Also obtained in this part of the investigation is the total energy of the moving screw dislocation. The second part of this investigation is devoted to the study of the interaction of a straight dislocation with a semi-infinite crack in an octagonal quasicrystal. Here the crack penetrates through the solid along the period direction and the dislocation line is parallel to the period direction. We first derive a general solution in terms of four analytic functions for plane strain problem in octagonal quasicrystals by means of differential operator theory and the complex variable method. All the phonon and phason displacements and stresses can be expressed in terms of the four analytic functions. Then we derive the exact solution for a straight dislocation near a semi-infinite crack in an octagonal quasicrystal, and also present the phonon and phason stress intensity factors induced by the straight dislocation and remote loads.

The L X-rays emitted by samples have been counted by a Si(Li) detector. The L X-ray fluorescence cross sections and relative intensities have been also calculated theoretically by using atomic parameters. The measured values have been compared with the theoretical values.     

激子旋转弛豫对低掺杂卟啉侧链聚合物荧光衰变过程的影响

利用激子旋转扩散理论研究了一类低掺杂卟啉侧链聚合物中卟啉侧链基团的旋转对其发光动力学过程的影响.研究表明,卟啉侧链基团的旋转行为是导致激发态无辐射能量弛豫的重要途径.基团旋转越容易,能量弛豫速度越快,这可导致一个快速的荧光衰变动力学过程.在卟啉低掺杂浓度和聚合物分子链间距离较大的情况下,卟啉侧链基团的旋转成为影响荧光寿命和发光效率的主要因素.对实验测得的两种样品的荧光弛豫过程进行了拟合,理论结果与实验结果符合较好. 关键词： 激子旋转弛豫 瞬态荧光 卟啉侧链聚合物

A time‐resolved intensified charge coupled device‐based Raman microspectrometer system dedicated to the study of solid samples is described, offering good optical, temporal and spatial resolution. The advantages of this approach are demonstrated on Al₂O₃:Cr³⁺, obtaining for the first time the temporal evolution of the excited state transition Ē → 2Ā. Moreover, the time dependence of the luminescence due to the chromium ion was also determined by the same Raman device. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of external electric field on the terahertz transmission characteristics of electrolyte solutions

We fabricated a microfluidic chip with simple structure and good sealing performance, and studied the influence of the electric field on THz absorption intensity of liquid samples treated at different times by using THz time domain spectroscopy system. The tested liquids were deionised water and CuSO₄, CuCl₂, NaHCO₃, Na₂CO₃ and NaCl solutions. The transmission intensity of the THz wave increases as the standing time of the electrolyte solution in the electric field increases. The applied electric field alters the dipole moment of water molecules in the electrolyte solution, which affects the vibration and rotation of the whole water molecules, breaks the hydrogen bonds in the water, increases the number of single water molecules and leads to the enhancement of the THz transmission spectrum.     

Luminescent Surface-Tethered Polymer Brush Materials

Surface-tethered polymers are unique molecular architectures that have been recently used in advanced sensors, electronics and biomedical applications. However, techniques for characterizing these materials in their surface-tethered form remain limited. The incorporation of luminescent functionality into these materials has enabled new characterization methods, while also unlocking new applications in optoelectronics, stenography and sensing. Micron-scale photolithography techniques have recently enabled the preparation of high-resolution patterns, as well as architectures with unique photophysical properties. Herein, we provide an overview of the techniques used to prepare luminescent polymer brush materials and their applications in stimuli-responsive sensors, cell adhesion materials, and optoelectronics. We also provide our perspective on the promising future uses of surface-tethered polymers, as well as the short-term challenges and opportunities in the field.
