Some MnIII-porphyrins with de-polymerization activity toward humic acid

Four Mn^III-porphyrin complexes, chloro(tetraphenylporphinato)Mn^III(1,6-diaminohexane), bromo(tetraphenylporphinato)Mn^III(1,6-diaminohexane), azido(tetraphenylporphinato)Mn^III(1,6-diaminohexane), and thiocyanato(tetraphenylporphinato)Mn^III(1,6-diaminohexane), have been synthesized. These complexes have been characterized using UV-Vis, IR, ESI-mass spectra, elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and conductivity measurement. The molar conductance values of these complexes in ethanol indicate non-electrolytes. The utility of these complexes in de-polymerization of coal using humic acid as the coal model has been tested by the optical density method.     

Density functional theory for a model of nonuniform liquid metal in partially ionized states

Summary The problem of the electronic, ionic and atomic density profiles in a nonuniform liquid metal which can locally exist in partially ionized states is examined using the density functional formalism. Ions and electrons are allowed to bind into atoms through a ?reaction? governed by the mass action law. Formally exact equations for the density profiles are given in terms of the inverse response matrix of the nonuniform system, which consists of two terms: the first corresponding to to a mixture of ions, electrons and structureless atoms and the other to the atomic internal degrees of freedom. Approximate schemes are proposed for both contributions, stressing, in partieular, i) how ionization of the atoms arises with increasing density and the relation with Mott’s criterion for the metal-insulator transition, and ii) the usefulness of a weak-coupling assumption for interspecies correlations. This formalism used together with properly parametrized trial functions for the density profiles should be particularly useful for studying the liquid-vapour interface of alkali metals.

Riassunto Il lavoro usa il formalismo del funzionale di densità per discutere la determinazione dei profili di densità in un fluido non omogeneo che può trovarsi localmente in stati di ionizzazione parziale. Con riferimento specifico ai metalli alcalini, la formazione di atomi per legame di ioni ed electtroni è descritta come una ?reazione? governata dalla legge di azione di massa. Le condizioni di equilibrio microscopico del fluido sono espresse tramite una matrice di risposta in cui appaiono due contributi, associati rispettivamente ai gradi di libertà interni degli atomi e ad una miscela di tre specie di particelle senza struttura interna. Si propongono quindi schemi approssimati per il calcolo di questi due contributi, con attenzione particolare all’uso di teorie perturbative e alla relazione tra grado di ionizzazione locale e densità localle, in connessione col criterio di Mott per la transizione isolante-metallo. Il formalismo proposto è in particolare appropriato per lo studio dell’interfaccia liquido-vapore in metalli alcalini.

Ising model in a quasiperiodic transverse field,percolation, and contact processes in quasiperiodic environments

Quantum Ising models in a transverse field are related to continuous-time percolation processes whose oriented percolation versions are contact processes. We study such models in the presence of quasiperiodic disorder and prove localization in the ground state, no percolation, and extinction, respectively, for sufficiently large disorder.     

Pressure effects on 2p5 3p - 2p5 3d transitions in neon

The collisional broadening and shift of four spectral lines of neon (747.2, 748.8, 753.5, 754.4 nm) arising from 2p⁵ 3p - 2p⁵ 3d transitions, emitted from a low-pressure glow discharge in pure neon and neon-helium mixtures have been measured using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The values of pressure broadening and shift coefficients are determined and analyzed in terms of the impact theory.     

稀土对小麦（Triticum aestivum）体内光合和呼吸速率及磷酸化功能的影响

以适当浓度稀土溶液处理小麦后，其光合和氧化磷酸化的磷氧比（Ｐ／Ｏ）、光合控制（Ｐｃ）、呼吸控制（ＲＣ）、状态３．４光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ３．Ｓ４）与对照样比均无显著性差异。状态２（Ｓ２）光合和呼吸速率提高，差异极显著。说明小麦用最适浓度稀土处理后，对其光合和呼吸的磷酸化机构和功能膜影响不大，但显著促进了光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ２），从而促进了电子传递链的活性，使ＡＴＰ形成量增加。

Piezoelectricity of ordered (ScxGa1-xN) alloys from first principles

First-principles calculations are performed to compute the e₃₃ piezoelectric coefficients of GaN, ScN and (Sc_xGa_1-xN) alloys exhibiting an alternation of hexagonal GaN, with hexagonal ScN along the c-axis. For Sc compositions larger than 50%, each atom has nearly five nearest neighbors (i.e., the ground state exhibits a phase that is five-fold coordinated). On the other hand, Sc-deficient (Sc, Ga) N alloys adopt a ground-state that is four-fold coordinated). The magnitude of e₃₃ in the Sc-deficient ideally ordered (Sc_0.25Ga_0.75N) is found to be larger than the magnitude of the corresponding e₃₃ coefficients resulting from the compositional weighted average over the hexagonal (h-ScN) and the wurtzite (w-GaN) parent compounds. On the other hand, the e₃₃ coefficients of the Sc-rich ordered (Sc_0.75Ga_0.25N) is found to be negligibly small. In addition, e₃₃ piezoelectric coefficients in ordered (Sc_0.5Ga_0.5N) exhibit quite large magnitudes, due to the nonpolar to polar transition occurs at Sc composition x = 0.5, and thus can bridge the corresponding coefficients of (Ga, In) N and ferroelectric alloys. The microscopic origins for this huge enhancement in the piezoelectric behavior in Sc-low and Sc-intermediate alloys and the role of each atom are revealed and discussed.     

Linear Chemical Potential Dependence of Two-Quark Condensate

By differentiating the inverse dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential μ with respect to μ, the linear response of the dressed quark propagator to the chemical potential can be obtained. From this we extract a modelindependent formula for the linear chemical potential dependence of the in-medium two-quark condensate and show by two independent methods (explicit calculation and Lorentz covariance arguments) that the first-order contribution in μto the in-medium two-quark condensate vanishes identically. Therefore if one wants to study the in-medium two-quark condensate one should expand to at least the second order in the chemical potential μ.
