LDH-intercalated d-gluconate: Generation of a new food additive-inorganic nanohybrid compound

Intercalation of d-gluconate into the interlamellae of zinc-aluminum-layered double hydroxide for the formation of a food additive-inorganic layered nanohybrid was accomplished by both direct (co-precipitation) and indirect (ion-exchange) methods. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) together with CHNS and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses showed that the hybridization of d-gluconate with pure phase and good crystallinity was successfully accomplished by a direct method within ranges of pH 7.5-10, Zn to Al initial molar ratio of 2-5 and DG concentration of 0.05-0.3 M. The same nanohybrid compound was also prepared using an indirect ion-exchange method by contacting the pre-prepared LDH with 0.1 M DG for 80 min. The basal spacing of the nanohybrid synthesized by the direct method ranged between 9 and 12.0 Å while that synthesized by the indirect ion-exchange method was 14.0 Å. The crystallinity of the latter was higher than the former and it inherited the crystallinity of the precursor. This work shows that a food additive, such as d-gluconate, can be hybridized into an inorganic host for the formation of a new nanohybrid compound, which can be used to regulate the release of acidity in the food industry.     

High-quality oriented ZnO films grown by sol-gel process assisted with ZnO seed layer

High-quality oriented ZnO films were prepared on silicon and quartz glass by sol-gel, assisted with a ZnO seed layer. The effects of the seed layer on the orientation, morphology and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated. Results show that the seed layer can effectively induce the growth of high-quality oriented ZnO films on two substrates, and the effectiveness of the seed layer strongly depends on preparation conditions, i.e., the spin-coating layer number and the preheating temperature. ZnO films with five layers on the seed layer preheated at 500 °C exhibit the single (0 0 2) orientation, which is much stronger than that on the flat substrate. Additionally, ZnO films on the seed layer show a denser internal structure and higher optical quality than that on the flat substrate. At ten layers, however, ZnO films on the seed layer show the multiple-orientation, which is similar to that on the flat substrate. Finally, the physical mechanism underlying the growth behavior of ZnO films assisted with the seed layer was discussed.     

Nonlinear branching processes with immigration

The nonlinear branching process with immigration is constructed as the pathwise unique solution of a stochastic integral equation driven by Poisson random measures. Some criteria for the regularity, recurrence, ergodicity and strong ergodicity of the process are then established.     

Hard magnetic properties of nanosized Sr(Fe,Al)12O19 hexaferrites obtained by Pechini method

In this work, we report the magnetic properties of isotropic M-type SrFe_12−xAl_xO₁₉ (x=0.0,1.5) hexaferrites synthesized by means of Pechini method. A polycrystalline distribution of fine grains was verified by Transmission Electron Microscopy for both compositions, with average sizes below 60 nm. Remarkable coercivity values within the range 500–850 kA/m were attained as a consequence of a combined effect of grain size refinement together with an enhancement of the anisotropy field afforded by the incorporation of the Al³⁺ cations into the hexagonal crystal structure.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Fluorescent Properties of Three One‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers Derived from Polypyridyl Ligands

Three one‐dimensional coordination polymers, [MnCl₂(4‐pyterpy)]∙2CHCl₃ ( 1 ), [Mn(NO₃)₂(4‐pyterpy)]∙CHCl₃ ( 2 ) and [Ag(NO₃)(3‐pyterpy)]∙H₂O ( 3 ) (4‐pyterpy = 4′‐(4‐pyridyl)‐2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine and 3‐pyterpy = 4′‐(3‐pyridyl)‐2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine) were synthesized and characterized by X‐ray diffraction. All three compounds exhibit a rare “head‐to‐tail” coordination of the multidentate ligand, but differ significantly in their polymer chain conformations. Additionally, the fluorescent properties of all three compounds were investigated and show a weak, ligand‐centered fluorescence at 416–418 nm.     

数字化光学元件中黑栅效应的研究

计算机光学元件是纯相位元件,能够产生任意形状的波面分布,但存在着加工工艺过于复杂的缺点。目前出现了用数字化元件实现计算机光学元件的方法,在这些方法中经常要面临黑栅效应的干扰。利用傅里叶光学理论研究了黑栅效应对具体元件的影响程度,找出了影响黑栅效应强弱的因素,并用MATLAB软件进行了模拟。模拟结果表明:减小黑栅的宽度可使光能量向接收屏中央集中,有效降低黑栅效应的干扰。
