The cross sections of Ni(n,x)~(58(m g))Co,Ni(n,x)~(60m)Co,Ni(n,x)~(61)Co and Ni(n,x)~(62m)Co reactions induced by neutrons around 14 MeV were measured in this work and calculated by a previously developed formula in this work.The neutron flux was determined using the monitor reaction ~(27)Al(n,α)~(24)Na and the neutron energies were measured with the method of cross-section ratios for ~(90)Zr(n,2n)~(89)Zr to ~(93)Nb(n,2n)~(92m)Nb reactions.     

Field emission properties of a-C and a-C:H films deposited on silicon surfaces modified with nickel nanoparticles

The a-C and a-C:H films are deposited on silicon surfaces modified with and without nickel nanoparticles by using mid-frequency magnetron sputtering. The microstructures and morphologies of the films are analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Field emission behaviors of the deposited films with and without nickel nanoparticles modification are comparatively investigated. It is found that the hydrogen-free carbon film exhibits a high field emission current density and low turn-on electric field compared with the hydrogenated carbon film. Nickel modifying could increase the current density, whereas it has no significant effect on the turn-on electric field. The mechanism of field electron emission of a sample is discussed from the surface morphologies of the films and nickel nanoparticle roles in the interface between film and substrate.

Chemical synthesis of spinel nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nano-sheets

The present investigation is related to the deposition of single-phase nano-sheets spinel nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) thin films onto glass substrates using a chemical method. Nano-sheets nickel ferrite films were deposited from an alkaline bath containing Ni²⁺ and Fe²⁺ ions. The films were characterized for their structural, surface morphological and electrical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and two-point probe electrical resistivity techniques. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that NiFe₂O₄ nano-sheets are oriented along (3 1 1) plane. The FT-IR spectra of NiFe₂O₄ films showed strong absorption peaks around 600 and 400 cm⁻¹ which are typical for cubic spinel crystal structure. Microstructural study of NiFe₂O₄ film revealed nano-sheet like morphology with average sheet thickness of 30 nm. The room temperature electrical resistivity of the NiFe₂O₄ nano-sheets was 10⁷ Ω cm.     

四磺基酞菁钴合成及其与牛血清白蛋白结合作用的研究

以高锰酸钾降解薛氏钠盐(6-羟基-β-萘磺酸钠)合成4-磺基邻苯二甲酸,并以此为原料“固相熔融法”合成了四磺基酞菁钴(CoPcS₄)。CoPcS₄在DMSO中发生解聚,随着pH值的升高,解聚增加。CoPcS₄以二聚体形式与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)结合后具有更强的光敏活性。分别采用紫外和荧光光谱分析方法准确测定了四磺基酞菁钴与BSA的结合位置数和结合常数。两种方法的结果基本一致,数量级皆为105 L·mol-1。CoPcS₄与BSA的首要结合位置为SiteⅠ和SiteⅡ,两种结合位置的结合能力差别不大。结果表明,CoPcS₄可与牛血清白蛋白很好地结合,白蛋白起到存储与转运作用。     

Microstructure and magnetic properties of CoFe_2O_4 thin films deposited on Si substrates with an Fe_3O_4 under-layer

The microstructure and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite thin films deposited by the sputtering method on an Fe3O4 under-layer were investigated at different post-annealing temperatures.Results show that the Fe3O4 under-layer can accelerate the grain growth of cobalt ferrite films due to the phase transformation of the Fe3O4 under-layer at about 400°C-500°C.By introducing the Fe3O4 under-layer,cobalt ferrite nanocrystalline thin films with high coercivity can be obtained at lower post-annealing temperat...     

Theoretical studies of cobalt(I)‐catalyzed hydroacylation of vinylsilanes and alkyl aldehydes

Density functional theory (DFT) was used to investigate computationally cobalt(I)‐catalyzed hydroacylation of vinylsilanes and alkyl aldehydes to give ketones. Calculation indicated that cobalt(I)‐catalyzed hydroacylation had eight possible reaction pathways. In the cobalt‐hydride complexes IM2a and IM2b, the hydrogen migration occurred prior to the carbon–carbon bond‐forming reaction. In the complexes IM3a1 and IM3b1, the carbonyl elimination reaction occurred prior to the direct reductive elimination reaction. In the cobalt–carbonyl complexes IM4a and IM4b, the carbonyl insertion reaction was much easier to achieve than the decarbonylation reaction. The dominant reaction pathway was the reaction channel IM1a → TS1a → IM2a → TS2a1 → IM3a1 → TS4a → IM4a → TS5a → IM5a → TS6a → IM6a, and the reductive elimination reaction was the rate‐determining step for this channel, so the dominant product predicted theoretically was the linear ketone. Furthermore, the solvation effect was remarkable, and it decreased generally the free energies of the species. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimized growth and dielectric properties of barium titanate thin films on polycrystalline Ni foils

Barium titanate(BTO) thin films were deposited on polycrystalline Ni foils by using the polymer assisted deposition(PAD) technique.The growth conditions including ambient and annealing temperatures were carefully optimized based on thermal dynamic analysis to control the oxidation processing and interdiffusion.Crystal structures,surface morphologies,and dielectric performance were examined and compared for BTO thin films annealed under different temperatures.Correlations between the fabrication conditions,microstructures,and dielectric properties were discussed.BTO thin films fabricated under the optimized conditions show good crystalline structure and promising dielectric properties with εr～ 400 and tan δ < 0.025 at 100 kHz.The data demonstrate that BTO films grown on polycrystalline Ni substrates by PAD are promising in device applications.     

Phonon-mediated heat dissipation in a monatomic lattice: case study on Ni

The recently introduced analytical model for the heat current autocorrelation function of a crystal with a monatomic lattice [Evteev et al., Phil. Mag. 94 (2014) p. 731 and 94 (2014) p. 3992] is employed in conjunction with the Green–Kubo formalism to investigate in detail the results of an equilibrium molecular dynamics calculations of the temperature dependence of the lattice thermal conductivity and phonon dynamics in f.c.c. Ni. Only the contribution to the lattice thermal conductivity determined by the phonon–phonon scattering processes is considered, while the contribution due to phonon–electron scattering processes is intentionally ignored. Nonetheless, during comparison of our data with experiment an estimation of the second contribution is made. Furthermore, by comparing the results obtained for f.c.c. Ni model to those for other models of elemental crystals with the f.c.c. lattice, we give an estimation of the scaling relations of the lattice thermal conductivity with other lattice properties such as the coefficient of thermal expansion and the bulk modulus. Moreover, within the framework of linear response theory and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we extend our analysis in this paper into the frequency domain to predict the power spectra of equilibrium fluctuations associated with the phonon-mediated heat dissipation in a monatomic lattice. The practical importance of the analytical treatment lies in the fact that it has the potential to be used in the future to efficiently decode the generic information on the lattice thermal conductivity and phonon dynamics from a power spectrum of the acoustic excitations in a monatomic crystal measured by a spectroscopic technique in the frequency range of about 1–20 THz.
