采用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法得到了M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene和(M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene)Li′(M=Li,Na,K)体系的几何结构.其中(M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene)Li′(M=Li,Na,K)三个体系各有5个稳定异构体,在前三个异构体中,碱金属与t-Bu-calix[4]arene分子间具有很强的相互作用能,说明了体系的稳定性.在部分(M@t-Bucalix[4]arene)Li异构体中Li′原子以阴离子形式存在,整个体系表现出碱金属化物的特性.此外,使用CAMB3LYP方法计算了t-Bu-calix[4]arene及碱金属掺杂后体系的非线性光学性质.结果表明,t-Bu-calix[4]arene内部掺杂一个碱金属原子M后,体系的一阶超极化率(β0)有较大提高,而在配体外部又掺杂一个Li原子后,体系具有更大的β0值.其中(M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene)Li′体系的MLi′-4异构体表现出最高的β0值(41827-114354 a.u.),并且随着M原子序数的增加而逐渐增大.可见,碱金属掺杂是提高t-Bu-calix[4]arene非线性光学响应的一种有效策略.     

Synthesis of 5-aryl-5′-formyl-2,2′-bithiophenes as new precursors for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials

A series of formyl-substituted 5-aryl-2,2′-bithiophenes 5 were synthesized using two different methods: Vilsmeier-Haack-Arnold reaction (VHA) or through Suzuki coupling. The synthesis of compounds 5 through the Vilsmeier-Haack-Arnold reaction, starting from inexpensive and easily available precursors such as acetophenones, gave the title compounds in low yields after four reaction steps. On the other hand Suzuki coupling of functionalized arylboronic acids 7 and the 5-bromo-5′-formyl-2,2′-bithiophene 6 gave compounds 5 in good yields in only one step.     

SBS新介质C4Cl6参数确定及性能研究

 从介质对光的吸收机理出发，研究了吸收系数较小的受激布里渊散射（SBS）新介质六氯-1,3-丁二烯（C4Cl6）。通过基本的物理参数，确定了入射光波长为1 064 nm时C₄Cl₆的SBS参数，其吸收系数约为0.003 cm^-1，声子寿命约为0.25 ns，增益系数约为4.9 cm·GW^-1。分析了入射光波长与介质SBS参数的关系，布里渊频移与入射光波长成反比，声子寿命与入射光波长的平方成正比，增益系数一般与入射光波长无关。在单池SBS系统中，利用Nd:YAG调Q激光器研究了C₄Cl₆的SBS性能。实验结果表明：由于其吸收系数小，与具有相同增益系数的H₂O比较，C₄Cl₆具有较高的能量反射率（饱和能量反射率大于55%）和较宽的SBS脉宽；由于其声子寿命短，与具有相同吸收系数的CS₂比较，C₄Cl₆的SBS波形上升时间较短。吸收系数小和声子寿命短的特点，使C₄Cl₆适合作为放大池介质，这对优化SBS介质选取，提高SBS系统性能具有一定意义。     

Synthesis,growth and characterization of non-linear optical material: l-Tryptophan p-nitrophenol (LTPNP) single crystal

A new nonlinear optical organic crystal l-tryptophan p-nitrophenol (LTPNP) of dimension 19 mm × 2 mm × 1.5 mm has been grown from an aqueous solution for the first time by slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The crystal structure of LTPNP was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. LTPNP crystallizes in non-centrosymmetric monoclinic system with space group P₂₁. The recorded FTIR spectrum confirms the presence of various functional groups in the grown crystal and confirms the formation of LTPNP. Thermal stability and melting temperature of the LTPNP crystal were identified from TG/DTA analysis. The optical absorption study confirms the suitability of the crystal for device applications. LTPNP exhibits SHG efficiency over 1.7 orders of magnitude higher than that of urea and 4 orders of magnitude higher than that of KDP.     

Z-scan analysis and ab initio studies of β-BaTeMo2O9 single crystal

The Z-scan measurements for the non-centrosymmetric optical crystals β-BaTeMo₂O₉ (BTMO) were performed. The corresponding experiments were carried out using the 5 ns pulses of the second harmonic of a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser at the 532 nm wavelength. It was shown that the studied crystals possess promising third-order optical susceptibilities, which allow to use the crystal as optical limiters. The comparison with other oxide materials is presented. To clarify the origin of the observed effect, the electronic and optical properties of BTMO were calculated using the density functional theory (DFT)-based method. The performed calculations of the electronic and optical properties revealed certain peculiar features that can be suitable for the nonlinear optical applications. The relation between the observed nonlinear optical features and the calculated band structure is emphasized. The values of the calculated band gap and refractive index for β-BaTeMo₂O₉ are also reported.     

Influences of aerodynamic loads on hunting stability of high-speed railway vehicles and parameter studies

The influences of steady aerodynamic loads on hunting stability of high-speed railway vehicles were investigated in this study.A mechanism is suggested to explain the change of hunting behavior due to actions of aerodynamic loads：the aerodynamic loads can change the position of vehicle system（consequently the contact relations）,the wheel/rail normal contact forces,the gravitational restoring forces/moments and the creep forces/moments.A mathematical model for hunting stability incorporating such influences was developed.A computer program capable of incorporating the effects of aerodynamic loads based on the model was written,and the critical speeds were calculated using this program.The dependences of linear and nonlinear critical speeds on suspension parameters considering aerodynamic loads were analyzed by using the orthogonal test method,the results were also compared with the situations without aerodynamic loads.It is shown that the most dominant factors a ff ecting linear and nonlinear critical speeds are different whether the aerodynamic loads considered or not.The damping of yaw damper is the most dominant influencing factor for linear critical speeds,while the damping of lateral damper is most dominant for nonlinear ones.When the influences of aerodynamic loads are considered,the linear critical speeds decrease with the rise of cross wind velocity,whereas it is not the case for the nonlinear critical speeds.The variation trends of critical speeds with suspension parameters can be significantly changed by aerodynamic loads.Combined actions of aerodynamic loads and suspension parameters also a ff ect the critical speeds.The effects of such joint action are more obvious for nonlinear critical speeds.     

Nonlinear dynamics for proper ferroelastic transitions for which the landau condition is violated

On the basis of a lattice model the domain structure for ferroelastic transformations is examined. The model accounts for both strongly nonlinear and competing interactions which allow for, in some situations, the propagation of nonlinear excitations. The model can be mostly applied to proper ferroelastic transformations of which In-Tl, Ti-Ni, etc.… are good prototypes. The phonon dispersion of the transverse acoustic waves obtained in the linearized case is discussed and the results show first a phonon softening at nonzero wave-number and next an upwards convexity of the phonon branch near the long-wavelength limit. This can be seen as pre-transitional effects. In a fully nonlinear case we consider vanishing dilatation transformations and the continuum approximation is applied to the one-dimensional version. Then, we investigate nonlinear excitations; three main classes of solution are found: i) quasi-harmonic solutions corresponding to periodically modulated structures in space which is a precursor effect of the elastic transformation, ii) an array of solitons made of periodic arrangements of parent-elastic domains and iii) a moving strain soliton. All the significant results are numerically illustrated by means of the microscopic model. Finally, the similarity to martensitic transformations and some extensions of the model are outlined.     

A class of solvable coupled nonlinear oscillators with amplitude independent frequencies

Existence of amplitude independent frequencies of oscillation is an unusual property for a nonlinear oscillator. We find that a class of N coupled nonlinear Liénard type oscillators exhibit this interesting property. We show that a specific subset can be explicitly solved from which we demonstrate the existence of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions. Another set of N coupled nonlinear oscillators, possessing the amplitude independent nature of frequencies, is almost integrable in the sense that the system can be reduced to a single nonautonomous first order scalar differential equation which can be easily integrated numerically.
