Isometric crystallization of stretched poly(e-caprolactone) sheets for medical applications

Low melting temperature thermoplastic sheets based on poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) can be formed directly on the patient and are used as immobilization device (mask) in the radiation therapy. The immobilization mask is allowed to harden in isometric conditions on the body at room temperature. A new method for isometric crystallization kinetics of thermoplastic polymer sheets is developed using a tensile-strength instrument. The isometric crystallization method allows investigating the shrinkage force on time of crystallization of stretched samples of thermoplastic polymer sheets or immobilization medical devices. The dependence of the shrinkage force on time is described by Avrami equation and the kinetics parameters of isometric crystallization are calculated. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

由于锂资源短缺,我们尝试使用三氧化钼作为钠离子储能装置负极材料。通过一种简单的方法合成了三氧化钼,使用XRD、SEM和TEM等测试手段对其物性进行了表征。利用三氧化钼作为有机系钠离子储能器件的负极材料,通过循环伏安和恒流充放电测试探讨了负极材料的储钠机理。以三氧化钼(MoO3)作为负极材料,活性炭(AC)和石墨(graphite)作为正极材料,组装成新型的电化学储能器件,研究了两种器件在1mol/L NaPF6的碳酸丙烯酯(PC)中的电化学性能。两种器件的电压范围分别为0~3.2V和0~3.5V,能量密度最高可分别达到31.6和53 Wh/kg,长循环性能远远优于AC/AC对称电容器。此种储能装置有望成为锂离子电池的一个很好的替代。     

Flexible Alkylene Bridges as a Tool To Engineer Crystal Distyrylbenzene Structures Enabling Highly Fluorescent Monomeric Emission

To design ultrabright fluorescent solid dyes, a crystal engineering strategy that enables monomeric emission by blocking intermolecular electronic interactions is required. We introduced propylene moieties to distyrylbenzene (DSB) as bridges between the phenyl rings either side of its C=C bonds. The bridged DSB derivatives formed compact crystals that emit colors similar to those of the same molecules in dilute solution, with high quantum yields. The introduction of flexible seven-membered rings to the DSB core produced moderate distortion and steric hindrance in the DSB π-plane. However, owing to this strategy, it was possible to control the molecular arrangement with almost no decrease in the crystal density, and intermolecular electronic interactions were suppressed. The bridged DSB crystal structure differs from other DSB derivative structures; thus, bridging affords access to novel crystalline systems. This design strategy has important implications in many fields and is more effective than the conventional photofunctional molecular crystal design strategies.

基于单通道反射型电光调制器实现不同路光同时调制的方法

提出了一种利用单通道反射型聚合物电光调制器同时调制不同路光的方法。衰减全反射结构的电光调制器,其每一个衰减全反射(ATR)峰的位置分别对应于一个导波共振模式。实验系统中利用衰减全反射导膜峰作为调制通道,使其每一路光路的入射角分别对应于不同导波共振模式的工作角,就可以实现利用单通道的电光调制器同时调制不同路光。提出了三种实现两路光同时调制的模式,并给出了三种模式的调制结果。结果表明,作为调制通道的导模阶数越低,调制效率越高。在832 nm光波波长下,采用最低阶导模进行调制时可以获得42.9%的调制效率。     

大视场星敏感器标定技术研究

大视场星敏感器光学系统,由于畸变量较大,在轨标定过程中,直接采用最小二乘最优估计(LMS)或扩展卡尔曼滤波方法(EKF)无法精确求解其标定参数。在深入分析星敏感器测量误差因素的基础上,对考虑畸变和不考虑畸变两种情况的在轨标定结果进行了仿真对比;指出了标定焦距之前需先标定光学畸变的必要性,并介绍了4种可用于在轨校正光学畸变的方法;提出先标定主点偏差,再标定光学畸变参数,最后标定焦距的标定方法。仿真结果表明,可以采用像面旋转法求取主点偏差,利用高阶多项式方法求取光学畸变参数,畸变校正后,采用LMS和EKF标定算法估计焦距,标定精度达到了3.1μm和2.2μm。对100幅模拟星图处理后,星间角距统计偏差约为传统在轨标定方法的1/10～1/8。     

Intersubband transitions in Al0.82In0.18N/GaN single quantum well

The influence of the width of a lattice-matched Al_0.82In_0.18N/GaN single quantum well (SQW) on the absorption coefficients and wavelength of the intersubband transition (ISBT) has been investigated by solving the Schrödinger and Poisson equations self-consistently. The wavelength of 1—2 ISBT increases with L, the thickness of the single quantum well, ranging from 2.88 μm to 3.59 μm. The absorption coefficients of 1—2 ISBT increase with L at first and then decrease with L, with a maximum when L is equal to 2.6 nm. The wavelength of 1—3 ISBT decreases with L at first and then increases with L, with a minimum when L is equal to 4 nm, ranging from approximately 2.03 μm to near 2.11 μm. The absorption coefficients of 1—3 ISBT decrease with L. The results indicate that mid-infrared can be realized by the Al_0.82In_0.18N/GaN SQW. In addition, the wavelength and absorption coefficients of ISBT can be adjusted by changing the width of the SQW.     

Magnetic calorimeter for registration of small energy release

A scheme of magnetic calorimeter for registration of rare events characterized by small energy release (cosmic rays, WIMPs, solitary X-ray quanta) is proposed. The calorimeter is brought to operation by adiabatic demagnetization, and its magnetic response is measured by a quantum interferometer (SQUID, A. Barone and G. Paterno, Physics and applications of Josephson Effect). Special consideration is given to the specific features of calorimeter operation in the ferromagnetic transition region. The trigger registration of ultrasmall energy release by a ferromagnetic system in the metastable state is described.     

All polymer asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer waveguide sensor by imprinting bonding and laser polishing

We present an all polymer asymmetric Mach–Zehnder interferometer(AMZI) waveguide sensor based on imprinting bonding and laser polishing method. The fabrication methods are compatible with high accuracy waveguide sensing structure. The rectangle waveguide structure of this sensor has three sensing surfaces contacting the test media, and its sensing accuracy can be increased 5 times compared with that of one surface sensing structure. An AMZI device structure is designed. The single mode condition, the length of the sensing arm, and the length deviation between the sensing arm and the reference arm are optimized. The length deviation is optimized to be 19.8 μm in a refractive index range between1.470 and 1.545. We fabricate the AMZI waveguide by lithography and wet etching method. The imprinting bonding and laser polishing method is proposed and investigated. The insertion loss is between-80.36 dB and-10.63 dB. The average and linear sensitivity are 768.1 d B/RIU and 548.95 dB/RIU, respectively. And the average and linear detection resolution of the sensor are 1.30×10~(-6) RIU(RIU: refractive index unit) and 1.82×10~(-5) RIU, respectively. This sensor has a fast and cost-effective fabrication process which can be used in the cases of requiring portability and disposability.
