A detector telescope with charge coupled devices for particle dosimetry in space

A telescopic device with charge coupled devices (CCDs) for particle dosimetry in space has been developed. Data on ionization events of energetic particles passing the CCDs are processed in an image analyzing system of a PC. As ‘Charged Particle Telescope’ (CHAPAT), the equipment was flown on the russian space station MIR during the EUROMIR mission in 1995. The response of the CCDs to various charged particles and methods for the discrimination of heavy particles in CCDs are discussed. First results of a correlation of temporal particles fluxes to the actual orbital parameters of MIR clearly identify passages through the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA).     

Concepts of probabilistic sets

In the field of pattern recognition or decision making theory, the important subjects are as follows: (1) ambiguity of property of objects, (2) variety of character of objects, (3) subjectivity of observers, (4) evolution of knowledge of observers (i.e. learning). Considering these points, the concept of probabilistic set is proposed. It is based on both probability theory and fuzzy concepts. A probabilistic set on a total space is defined by a point wise measurable function from a parameter space (which is a probability space) to a characteristic space (which is a measurable space). It is shown that the family of all probabilistic sets constitutes a complete pseudo-Boolean algebra. Moment analysis is possible by using a probability measure of the parameter space. Other useful concepts are also mentioned such as probabilistic mappings and expected cardinal numbers.     

Interband and intraband radiation from the n-InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with quantum wells under the conditions of injection in high lateral electric fields

The interband and intraband radiation from the n-InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with the double and triple tunnel coupled and selectively doped quantum wells (QWs), which is appeared under the lateral electric field and in the presence of hole injection from the anode contact, has been investigated. A steep increase of the interband radiation intensity was found at the fields of E≥1.7 kV/cm. This effect should be related to the big lifetime of the injected charge carriers (~10⁻⁶ s) which exceeds by three orders of magnitude the lifetime in the similar bulk direct-band semiconductor. Its reason lies in spatial separation of the injected holes and electrons between coupled wells, firstly, by the built-in transverse electric field between wells and, secondly, due to the real-space transfer of carriers heated by the lateral electric field from the wide well to the narrow δ-doped one. Furthermore, an increase of the carrier concentration due to injection leads to an increase of that transition intensity and, consequently, to an intensity increase of the radiative intersubband transitions of carriers in QWs which results in a steep intensity increase of the far (50–120 µm) infrared radiation.

Crystallization kinetics of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)

The isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). Enthalpy data of exotherm from isothermal crystallization were analyzed using the Avrami theory. The average value of the Avrami exponent, n, is about 2.8. From the melt, PTT crystallizes according to a spherulite morphology. The spherulite growth rate and the overall crystallization rate depend on crystallization temperature. The increase in the spherulitic radius was examined by polarized light microscopy. Using values of transport parameters common to many polymers (U* = 1500 cal/mol, T_∞= T_g − 30 °C) together with experimentally determined values of T (248 °C) and T_g (44 °C), the nucleation parameter, k_g, for PTT was determined. On the basis of secondary nucleation analyses, a transition between regimes III and II was found in the vicinity of 194 °C (ΔT ≅ 54 K). The ratio of k_g of these two regimes is 2.1, which is very close to 2.0 as predicted by the Lauritzen–Hoffman theory. The lateral surface‐free energy, σ = 10.89 erg/cm² and the fold surface‐free energy, σ_e = 56.64 erg/cm² were determined. The latter leads to a work of chain‐folding, q = 4.80 kcal/mol folds, which is comparable to PET and PBT previously reported. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Critical behaviour of the order parameters at the SmC* to SmA phase transition in a ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture

Critical behaviour of the order parameters has been investigated in the ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture ZLI‐3654 in a 7.5 µm thick planar cell. The temperature dependence of the primary (tilt angle) and secondary (spontaneous polarisation) order parameters is considered. The critical exponent (β) has been evaluated from the fitting of the temperature dependence of the experimental data for both tilt angle and spontaneous polarisation. Experimental results are compared with the predictions of the de Gennes and Landau models.     

动态配位空间的构筑与调控

“配位空间”(Coordination Space)是无机-有机杂化体系中的构筑基元通过配位键连接形成的具有特定结构和功能的空间。这一概念为基于配位键的框架体系的定向构筑与结构-性能调控提供了新的视角。作为典型的无机-有机杂化材料,金属-有机框架(Metal-Organic Framework,MOF)及金属有机笼(Metal-Organic Cage,MOC)等近年来受到广泛关注。这类材料的构筑与性能调控的核心可以认为是对其配位空间的结构设计与性能调控。具有刺激响应性的MOF可展现动态的配位空间,使其在吸附分离、传感、药物投递等方面具有重要的应用前景。本文将以动态金属有机框架的相关研究为基础简述动态配位空间研究的近期进展,包括其动态行为产生的结构基础、诱发因素及相关性能,归纳结构-性能的关系,为相关研究提供参考。

Synthesis,characterization and dynamic stereochemistry of thermochromic tris(dithiocarbamato)vanadium(III) complexes stereochemistry of thermochromic tris(dithiocarbamato)vanadium(III) complexes

The vanadium(III) complexes, V(S₂CNMe₂)₃ (1) and V(S₂CN ⁱ Pr₂)₃ (2) were prepared and characterized by analysis, IR, electronic and ¹H NMR spectra. The complexes show reversible thermochromic behaviour. MM2 calculations were used to simulate the molecular structure of 1. For 2, variable temperature ¹H NMR revealed hindered rotation about C–N bonds. The rotational energy barrier (38?kJ?mol^?1) was obtained by molecular mechanics force-field calculations.
