The effect of stiffness in wormlike micelles

The effect of stiffness in a 2D living polymer system is investigated by Monte-Carlo simulation in a canonical ensemble. As the flexibility decreases, the mean chain contour length decreases and goes through a local maximum. The mean end to end square distance shows a non-monotonic behaviour due to the coil-to-rod transition and the decrease in chain contour length. Near the maximum of chain ordering in the bulk, the chain length distribution adapts itself to increase the configurational entropy. With the parameters used in this simulation, it seems that the effect of the stiffness for high stiffness is to decrease as in the isotropic case, since the ordering decreases again.

Isochronal crystallization kinetics of Cu60Zr20Ti20 bulk metallic glass

Isochronal crystallization kinetics of Cu₆₀Zr₂₀Ti₂₀ bulk metallic glass has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. By means of the Kissinger, Ozawa, Kempen, Matusita and Gao methods, average effective activation energies for the first and second crystallization reactions in Cu₆₀Zr₂₀Ti₂₀ are calculated to be about 375 ± 9 and 312 ± 11 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively, which are smaller than the values deduced from isothermal experiments. Meanwhile, average Avrami exponents, 3.0 ± 0.1 and 3.4 ± 0.2, for two crystallization reactions in isochronal anneals, differ from the value about 2.0 in isothermal anneals. The nonidentity of the Avrami exponents and effective activation energies may be contributed to different crystallization mechanisms and the nature of non-isokinetic between isochronal and isothermal experiments. The values of frequency factor k₀ for the first and second crystallization reactions of Cu₆₀Zr₂₀Ti₂₀ are (1.7 ± 0.3) × 10²⁴ and (7.0 ± 0.8) × 10¹⁸ s⁻¹, respectively, and the large value of k₀ has been discussed in terms of the atomic configuration and interaction.     

溶液中金属元素的激光诱导击穿光谱

利用激光击穿光谱的方法对水溶液样品中的金属元素进行定性和定量分析。分别采用竖直喷流(口径0.5 mm)和静止液面两种样品采样模式,针对不同质量浓度的Cd,Fe,Al和Pb元素进行了检测分析并得到了其定标曲线(线性拟合相关度基本在0.99以上),初步确定了4种元素在喷流模式下的检测限为0.206 5(Cd),0.147 6(Fe),0.061 9(Al)和0.200 9(Pb)g/L;静止液面模式下的检测限为0.050 1(Cd),0.0239(Fe),0.014 8(Al)和0.006 9(Pb)g/L。实验所得的结果为检测工业废水中金属元素的含量提供了依据。     

Synthesis of metallic ReO3 nanowires

We present the synthesis of highly crystalline metallic rhenium trioxide (ReO₃) nanowires via a simple physical vapor transport at 300 °C for the first time. Based on HRTEM, the ReO₃ nanowires exhibit a core of perfect cubic perovskite‐type single crystal structure with a shell of thin amorphous and disordered structures of less than 2 nm in the near surface layers. Possibly this is due to proton intercalation induced by the surface reaction of single crystal ReO₃ with water.

     

Glassy metallic plastics

This paper reports a class of bulk metallic glass including Ce-, LaCe-, CaLi-, Yb-, and Sr-based metallic glasses, which are regarded as glassy metallic plastics because they combine some unique properties of both plastics and metallic alloys. These glassy metallic plastics have very low glass transition temperature (Tg~25oC to 150oC) and low Young’s modulus (~20 GPa to 35 GPa). Similar to glassy plastics, these metallic plastics show excellent plastic-like deformability on macro-, micro- and even nano-scale in their supercooled liquid range and can be processed, such as elongated, compressed, bent, and imprinted at low temperatures, in hot water for instance. Under ambient conditions, they display such metallic properties as high thermal and electric conductivities and excellent mechanical properties and other unique properties. The metallic plastics have potential applications and are also a model system for studying issues in glass physics.     

Induced electric fields and plasmonic interactions between a metallic nanotube and a thin metallic film

We have numerically simulated the induced electric fields and the plasmonic interactions of a metallic nanotube near a thin metallic film. Our study shows that the energies and intensities of the plasmon resonances depend strongly on the aspect ratio (the ratio of the inner to outer radius) of the nanotube as well as the separation between the center of the nanotube and the upper surface of the metallic film and the thickness of the film. The enhancement of the induced electric field of this system reaches ...     

Passivation of aluminum with alkyl phosphonic acids for biochip applications

Self-assembly of decylphosphonic acid (DPA) and octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) was studied on aluminum films using XPS, ToF-SIMS and surface wettability. Modified aluminum films were tested for passivation against silanization and subsequent oligonucleotide attachment. Passivation ratios of at least 450:1 compared to unprotected aluminum were obtained, as quantified by attachment of radio-labeled oligos.     

Electron spin resonance of the two-dimensional metallic state and the quantum Hall state in a Si/SiGe quantum well

We report electrically detected electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements of a high mobility two-dimensional (2D) electron system formed in a Si/SiGe quantum well, with millimeter wave in a high magnetic field . The negative ESR signal observed under an in-plane magnetic field gives direct evidence that the spin polarization leads to a resistance increase in the 2D metallic state. Suppression of spin decoherence was observed in the quantum Hall state at the Landau level filling factor ν=2. Strength of the nuclear magnetic field in the resonance is evaluated to be less than , much smaller than that reported for GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures.     

Enhancement in nucleate pool boiling heat transfer on nano-second laser processed copper surfaces

ABSTRACT

The present paper reports the experimental investigation of pool boiling heat transfer on multiscale functionalized copper surfaces. Multiscale functionalized surfaces are fabricated by employing the nano-second laser surface process (NLSP) technique. The heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of functionalized surfaces are estimated experimentally by using water and acetone as pool liquid. Tests are performed at atmospheric pressure, and saturated pool boiling condition with heat flux varyies between 0 and 330 kW/m². The maximum HTCs for functionalized surface and reference polished surface were found to be 41,500 W/m²K and 23,000 W/m²K, respectively, with water and 22,000 W/m²K and 14,000 W/m²K, respectively, with acetone.
