Fast high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy through indirect zero-quantum coherence detection in inhomogeneous fields

In many cases, high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） spectra are virtually impossible to obtain by con- ventional nuclear magnetic resonance methods because of inhomogeneity of magnetic field and inherent heterogeneity of sample. Although conventional intramolecular zero-quantum coherence （ZQC） can be used to obtain high-resolution spectrum in inhomogeneous field, the acquisition takes rather long time. In this paper, a spatially encoded intramolecular ZQC technique is proposed to fast acquire high-resolution NMR spectrum in inhomogeneous field. For the first time, the gradient-driven decoding technique is employed to selectively acquire intramolecular ZQC signals. Theoretical analyses and experimental observations demonstrate that high-resolution NMR spectral information can be retrieved within several scans even when the field inhomogeneity is severe enough to erase most spectral information. This work provides a new way to enhance the acquisition efficiency of high-resolution intramolecular ZQC spectroscopy in inhomogeneous fields.     

基底微缺陷对介质薄膜光学性能影响的理论研究

基于非均匀膜理论提出一种存在微缺陷的介质基底的折射率分层模型，将基底依次分为表面层、亚表面层和体材料层，其中表面层和亚面层分别等效为折射率服从统计分布的非均匀膜，将它们分别再次细分为N₁和N₂个子层，每一子层均视为均匀介质 膜.应用光学薄膜特征矩阵法对其进行理论分析，并对单层介质膜的光学性能进行数值计算. 研究结果表明：基底的表面和亚表面微缺陷改变了薄膜和基底的等效折射率，导致了准Brew ster角和组合反射率与理想情形的偏离.同时这些微缺陷也改变了光在薄膜和基底中的传播 特性，因此反射相移和相位差均偏离理想情形.在研究基底的微缺陷对多层介质膜光学性能 影响的分析和计算时，该模型同样适用. 关键词： 微缺陷 介质薄膜 非均匀膜 光学性能     

非均质基底表面上团簇生长的Monte Carlo模拟

Monte Carlo方法模拟了在非均质基底表面上团簇的生长过程.非均质基底由规则分布的A，B两类不同性质的物质(不同材料、不同温度等)组成.沉积粒子的初动能为E₀，在不同相基底上单位长度扩散的能耗为E_A,E_B，粒子从A经过相界扩散到B的能耗为E_AB.模拟中粒子的初动能E₀.远大于E_A,E_B，粒子从B过相界到A能耗E_BA取为0.结果表明，沉积在此类基底表面的粒子凝聚成具有分形结构的团簇.当E_AB远大于E_A,E_B时，团簇的数目、团簇的回旋半径、团簇的分形维数均随E₀/E_AB呈周期性变化. 关键词： 分形团簇 非均质基底 Monte Carlo模拟 周期性     

Graphene sensing an inhomogeneous strain due to the surface relief in FeNiCoTi shape memory alloy

In this paper, we present a novel method of using graphene for sensing the inhomogeneous strain due to the surface relief in FeNiCoTi shape memory alloy. In the experiment, a large sheet of graphene fabricated by chemical vapor deposition was transferred onto the FeNiCoTi substrate. The flat surface of the substrate would become wrinkled due to the surface relief formed during the FeNiCoTi substrate phase transformation, meanwhile loading a tensile strain on the surface graphene. It is found that the 2D Raman peak of graphene demonstrates a significant red shift due to the tensile strain. The different colors exhibited in the Raman mapping image of the graphene directly displayed the strain distribution information across the surface. In the future, we may alter to quantitatively analyze the surface relief by using Raman spectroscopy instead of the atomic force microscopy. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
