Effect of parametric modulation on pattern formation in reaction diffusion systems

Reaction diffusion systems can exhibite both spatial and temporal patterns. We show that the effect of spatial variation of the removal rate can have significant effect on the stability boundaries. In particular there can be a case of parametric resonance. Received 11 March 1998

Chemical modification of poly(lactic acid) induced by thermal decomposition of N‐acetoxy‐phthalimide during extrusion

Chemical modification of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with N‐acetoxy‐phthalimide (NAPI) was performed in the melt by reactive extrusion, without using any peroxide initiator. The aminyl and nitroxide radicals produced from the NAPI thermal degradation, were, respectively, used (a) to create PLA macroradicals, and (b) to functionalize the PLA samples through nitroxide radical coupling. Depending on the extrusion temperature and the initial NAPI concentration, grafting rates up to 0.24 mol % were measured, modifying the PLA optical properties. This study represents an original new way of modification of PLA without the use of conventional peroxide initiators. Indeed, the undesirable side reactions (PLA branching or crosslinking) usually observed when using peroxides to initiate the radical grafting of PLA were avoided when using NAPI. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Interaction of moderately reactive molecules with organic superhalogens: a theoretical perspective

The interaction of four moderately reactive molecules (MRMs), benzene (BZ), water, ammonia and silicon dioxide, with three aromatic organic superhalogens (OSHs) has been investigated at the density functional theory (DFT) level. The strength of the interaction is analysed from the distortions in the structures of both the MRMs and OSHs after complexation and the calculated binding energy (BE) values between the two interacting moieties. The interaction becomes stronger as we move from BZ to H₂O to NH₃ and strongest for SiO₂ molecule. Contributions from different terms in total interaction energy have been examined by energy decomposition analysis (EDA). The charge flow values between MRMs and OSHs, and Mulliken spin density localised on the moderately reactive molecules have been evaluated to ensure whether the interaction is ionic or not. Atoms in Molecules (AIM) analysis has been performed to characterise the bonds formed between the two. Overall, our study gives a comprehensive account of the interaction between the moderately reactive molecules and three theoretically designed aromatic organic superhalogens, which will further motivate researchers in the field of superhalogen chemistry.     

New results on quadratic stabilization of switched linear systems with polytopic uncertainties

^** Corresponding author. Email: longwang{at}pku.edu.cn^*** Email: jizj{at}mech.pku.edu.cn In this paper, the quadratic stabilization of switched linearsystems with polytopic uncertainties is considered. Comparedwith the existing result, a more general switching control methodis proposed to guarantee the quadratic stabilization. This switchingcontrol method is based on the partition of the vertex matrixset of each subsystem. By this method, the matrix inequalitiesneeded to be solved are always less than those needed to besolved before except one extreme case; for this case, it isequal. The switched control synthesis problem is also studiedfor both switched state feedback and output feedback. Severalbilinear matrix inequality based conditions are derived forboth cases.

Explosive synchronization in a mobile network in the presence of a positive feedback mechanism

Synchronization is a process that describes the coherent dynamics of a large ensemble of interacting units.The study of explosive synchronization transition attracts considerable attention.Here,I report the explosive transition within the framework of a mobile network,while each oscillator is controlled by global-order parameters of the system.Using numerical simulation,I find that the explosive synchronization(ES)transition behavior can be controlled by simply adjusting the fraction of controlled oscillators.The influences of some parameters on explosive synchronization are studied.Moreover,due to the presence of the positive feedback mechanism,I prevent the occurrence of the synchronization of continuous-phase transition and make phase transition of the system a first-order phase transition accompanied by a hysteresis loop.     

CEMS of nitride coatings in agressive environments

The corrosion properties of single layered TiN and CrN films have been compared to bi-layered and multi-layered Ti/TiN films. XPS has showed that in humid SO₂ atmosphere the best corrosion properties have been achieved by a multi-layered Ti/TiN coating. Cyclic voltammetry in acetate buffer has been applied to measure the porousity and corrosion resistance of coatings. The best results have been achieved by multi-layered Ti/TiN and CrN films. Conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy has been used to study the changes in the interface Fe/TiN during thermal treatment in UHV. It has been shown that the amount of iron nitrides in the interface increases with increasing temperature.     

Diffraction mode selection in planar Bragg resonators of optical and microwave wavelength ranges

Using the coupled waves approach complemented by the time-domain quasi-optical approximation, we solve a 2D diffraction problem which allows to evaluate the eigenfrequencies, quality factors and spatial structures of eigenmodes in planar Bragg resonators with a finite length and width of the corrugated area. We find the values of the Fresnel parameter determined by the geometrical dimensions of the system which allows for efficient transverse mode discrimination due to the larger diffraction losses of the modes with higher transverse numbers.     

Coupling characteristics of laterally coupled gratings with slots

Laterally-coupled ridge-waveguide distributed feedback lasers fabricated without epitaxial regrowth steps have the advantages of process simplification and low cost. We present a laterally coupled grating with slots. The slots etched between the ridge and grating area are designed to suppress the lateral diffusion of carriers and to reduce the influence of the aspect-ratio-dependent-etching effect on the grating morphology in the etching process. Moreover, the grating height in this structure can be decreased to lower the aspect ratio significantly, which is advantageous over the conventional laterally coupled ridge waveguide gratings. The effects of five main structural parameters on the coupling characteristics of gratings are studied by MODE Solutions. It is found that varying the lateral width of the grating can be used as an effective way to tune the coupling strength; narrow slots (100 nm and 300 nm) and wide ridge (2 μm-4 μm) promote the stability of grating coupling coefficient and device performance. It is important to note that the grating bottom should be fabricated precisely. The comparative study of carrier distribution and mode field distribution shows that the introduction of narrow slots can strengthen the competitive advantage and stability of the fundamental mode.
