Focused ion beam preparation of samples for X‐ray nanotomography

The preparation of hard material samples with the necessary size and shape is critical to successful material analysis. X‐ray nanotomography requires that samples are sufficiently thin for X‐rays to pass through the sample during rotation for tomography. One method for producing samples that fit the criteria for X‐ray nanotomography is focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) which uses a focused beam of ions to selectively mill around a region of interest and then utilizes a micromanipulator to remove the milled‐out sample from the bulk material and mount it on a sample holder. In this article the process for preparing X‐ray nanotomography samples in multiple shapes and sizes is discussed. Additionally, solid‐oxide fuel cell anode samples prepared through the FIB/SEM technique underwent volume‐independence studies for multiple properties such as volume fraction, average particle size, tortuosity and contiguity to observe the characteristics of FIB/SEM samples in X‐ray nanotomography.     

Advanced Materials Processing by Adsorption Control

Precise control and knowledge of surface structures are essential inorder to meet the requirements of today's and future materials. One possiblegrowth technique capable of meeting the requirements is atomic layer epitaxy(ALE). ALE is based on sequentially applied saturated gas-solid reactions,which provide the means for adsorption controlled material deposition atatomic layer level. In this paper the potentiality of the use of porousmaterials in a detailed study of adsorption controlled growth is discussed.At the same time the study promotes the application of adsorption controlledmaterials processing for advanced catalysts manufacturing.     

Remote preparation of a two-particle state using a four-qubit cluster state

We present a scheme of remote preparation of two-particle states using a particular four-qubit cluster state as the quantum channel. The probability of success regarding this preparation scheme is calculated in both general and some particular cases. Our results show that in general such remote state preparation can be realized with a probability of 1/4. But in several special cases, the probability of success can be improved to 1/2 or even 1.     

Probabilistic remote state preparation by W states

In this paper we consider a scheme for probabilistic remote state preparation of a general qubit by using W states. The scheme consists of the sender, Alice, and two remote receivers Bob and Carol. Alice performs a projective measurement on her qubit in the basis spanned by the state she wants to prepare and its orthocomplement. This allows either Bob or Carol to reconstruct the state with finite success probability. It is shown that for some special ensembles of qubits, the remote state preparation scheme requires only two classical bits, unlike the case in the scheme of quantum teleportation where three classical bits are needed.

多孔硅的制备条件对其光致发光特性的影响

不同的实验条件下制备的多孔硅的光致发光(PL)特性是不同的,这是许多研究产生分歧的主要原因。对比分析了阳极氧化电流密度、阳极氧化时间、溶液浓度以及自然氧化时间对多孔硅光致发光光谱的影响。认为在一定的范围内,多孔硅的发光峰位会随电流密度的增大而蓝移,要获得较强的发光,需要选择合适的电流密度;随着腐蚀时间的延长,多孔硅的发光峰位也发生蓝移。当HF酸的浓度较小时,峰位随浓度的增大表现为向低能移动;而当HF酸的浓度较大时,峰位随浓度的增大则表现为移向高能。多孔硅在空气中自然氧化,其发光峰位发生蓝移,而发射强度随放置时间的延长而降低。并用量子限制模型和发光中心模型对实验结果进行解释。

Organo-modified magnesium hydroxide nano-needle and its polystyrene nanocomposite

Acrylic acid modified magnesium hydroxide nano-needles (AA–Mg(OH)₂) had been synthesized by alkaline injected into magnesium chloride solution at about 0°C in the presence of acrylic acid (AA). Then the polystyrene/magnesium hydroxide nano-needles composite (PS/Mg(OH)₂) had been prepared by the radical copolymerization with styrene in toluene system using AA–Mg(OH)₂ as a macro-monomer. The elemental analysis (EA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses show that the polystyrene had been grafted onto the surfaces of the nano-needles (AA–Mg(OH)₂). The nano-needles (AA–Mg(OH)₂) had better dispersibility in polystyrene matrix as observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. The thermal behavior analysis results from the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that the magnesium hydroxide nano-needles had lower thermal decomposition temperature than that of the polymer matrix and it is expected that the nano-needles prepared by the proposed method could be used as an environmental-friendly flame retardant.
