Preparation of a novel self-assembling nonlinear optical (NLO) polymer film

A novel self-assembling crosslinking second harmonic generation nonlinear optical (SHG/NLO) film with high SHG coefficient (2×10-7 e.s,u.by IR dichroism) was prepared by morecular design and "in-situ poling and sol-gel process".The content of the NLO chromophore (S)-(-)-1-(4)-mtrophenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (NPP) is as high as 50 mol% since NPP molecules probably disperse in the film at a molecular level The film is rigid,uni form and transparent.This designed clathrate supermolecular structure was poved by IR,atomic force microseopv (AFM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) detection.The title film exhibits a long-term temporal stability with 95% of the initial value of SHG coefficient maintained even after 20 d at 65℃(by UV spectroscopy)     

Quantitative millimetre wavelength spectrometry at pressures approaching atmospheric: II. Determination of oxygen at atmospheric pressure

A millimetre wavelength (MMW) Fabry-Perot cavity spectrometer described in earlier work has been applied to the measurement of oxygen absorption at 60 GHz and atmospheric pressure in a gas matrix of nitrogen. The spectrometer has also been modified such that the MMW source is stabilised by a sub-harmonic microwave signal transmitted by an infrared carrier on a single mode telecommunications fibre optic. This is a step towards developing an instrument comprising minimal electronic components that can perform MMW spectrometry remotely. Oxygen determinations were achieved by monitoring the change in the quality factor (Q) of a resonant Fabry-Perot cavity due to the presence of an absorbing sample. The MMW absorption of the sample was determined by incrementing the frequency modulation (FM) deviation of the source frequency scanning the cavity resonance profile. The response curve of absorption signal versus fraction of oxygen in nitrogen was found to be linear throughout the working range of 1-100% O₂ (v/v) in N₂ with a slope of (1.407±0.007)×10⁻⁴ m⁻¹ (% O₂)⁻¹. The detection limit (3× standard deviation of the background) was found to be ∼0.8% (v/v). The MMW technique employed is advantageous since, unlike common MMW techniques, there is no vacuum requirement. Application of this method, to the monitoring of oxygen in gas mixtures of practical importance, is proposed. Values of the oxygen spectral absorption coefficients of lines between 55 and 60 GHz were measured at reduced pressure and found to be within ±2% of previous literature values. A pressure correction coefficient for O₂ absorption at 60 GHz in the 45-121 kPa range was obtained and found to be (1.354±0.014)×10⁻⁴ m⁻¹ kPa⁻¹.     

Use of NIRS technology with a remote reflectance fibre-optic probe for predicting major components in bee pollen

In the present work, we study the use of near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) technology together with a remote reflectance fibre-optic probe for determination of the major components in bee pollen. The method allows immediate control of the bee pollen without prior sample treatment or destruction through direct application of the fibre-optic probe to the sample.The regression method employed was modified partial least squares (MPLS). The calibration results obtained using 45 samples of bee pollen allowed the measurement of protein, moisture, ash, reducing sugars, and pH with multiple correlation coefficients (RSQ) and prediction corrected standard errors (SEPC) of 0.91, 0.56% for protein, of 0.78 and 0.49% for moisture; 0.92 and 0.049% for ash; 0.81 and 1.32 g of glucose/100 g of bee pollen; 0.84 and 0.15 for pH, respectively.The prediction capacity of the pattern was checked by applying it to samples of unknown pollen in external validation.     

Uncertainty of the Thermal Conductivity Measurement Using the Transient Hot Wire Method

This work deals with uncertainty analysis of the thermal conductivity measurement using the transient hot wire method. The characterization is made from a sample of low-density, polyethylene BRALEN SA 200-22. The utilized experimental data are obtained from the test measurements performed on the air at room temperature. The sources of measurement errors are analyzed and the uncertainty of the measured value of the thermal conductivity is evaluated. The analysis shows that in the present case the uncertainty of the thermal conductivity measurement is about ±3.3% for 68% confidence level.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

New far infrared laser lines obtained by optically pumping13CD3OD

We have obtained laser action on 34 far infrared lines for the first time in fully deuterated methyl alcohol with the¹³C isotope (¹³CD₃OD), and we have measured the frequency of 13 lines. The molecule was pumped by a cw CO₂ laser. We have measured the wavelength, the relative polarization, the relative intensity of most lines, the frequency, and the CO₂ pump frequency offset of the strongest lines. The new lines are distributed in the wavelength region from 75.27 m to 464.7 m.Supported in part by a joint grant with the U.S. National Science Foundation grant # INT 80-19014 and the Brazilian Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas (CNPq).     

采用Seemann－Bohlin准聚焦X射线衍射仪测量薄膜厚度的误差理论分析

本文从理论上分析了衍射强度比偏差Δ（Ｉ／Ｉ∞）和衍射峰位偏差Δ２θ对Ｓｅｅｍａｎｎ－Ｂｏｈｌｉｎ准聚焦Ｘ射线衍射仪测量表面单层薄膜厚度误差的影响。分析结果表明，降低Δ（Ｉ／Ｉ∞）可提高膜厚的测量精度，在Δ（Ｉ／Ｉ∞）－定的情况下，按μρｔ［Ｓｉｎ（－１）γ＋Ｓｉｎ（－１）（２θ－γ）］＝１选择靶辐射和衍射晶面可使由Δ（Ｉ／Ｉ∞）导致的膜厚测量误差具有极小值；选择高角度衍射线有助于减小试样离焦引起的衍射峰位偏差，亦可降低因衍射角测量偏差导致的膜厚测量误差，当衍射线处于薄膜的法向２θ＝γ＋π／２时，角度项误差（Δｔ／ｔ）（２θ）完全消除。
