Generation of hard X-ray radiation using the triboelectric effect by peeling adhesive tape

The triboelectric effect describes electrical charging when bringing different materials into contact. We report on the generation of hard X-ray radiation by peeling various adhesive tapes under medium vacuum conditions. Beside vacuum housing and pumps as instrumentation only an electric motor, two rolls and a metal foil as target material are necessary. The spectral distribution of generated X-rays was analyzed using an energy-dispersive detector. Depending on peeling speed, pressure and choice of material combination, electrons with energies sufficient to excite emission in the hard X-ray region are produced. The results are discussed in terms of triboelectric separation of charge carriers.

衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束在远场的光谱移动和光谱开关

从部分相干光的传输理论出发,研究了被光阑衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束远场的光谱变化规律。结果表明,扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束在远场也会出现光谱移动和光谱开关效应。与衍射高斯-谢尔模型光束情况相比,光谱移动和光谱开关效应不仅与光束空间相关性、截断参量和源光谱谱宽有关,光束的扭曲因子也会对衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束远场的光谱移动和光谱开关效应产生影响。通过数值计算结果详细讨论了光束扭曲因子影响衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型远场光谱的规律。     

Bi2223/Ag高温超导带材在脉冲电流下电磁特性分析

对高温超导带材在脉冲电流下的电磁特性进行了实验与仿真研究。实验部分对不同频率过电流下的伏安特性进行了测量,仿真部分运用有限元方法分析了电流和磁场分布特点。结果表明:在超导丝中,电流会因为频率的升高而呈现集肤效应,频率越高电流越向带材边缘集中,但与常规导体所不同的是,由于超导体各向异性的特点,边缘的非平行自场使该区域临界电流下降,导致电流密度最大的地方不是在带材的边缘,而是趋向于分布在磁场较弱的带材中部。     

Photooxidation of a Twisted Isoquinolinone

Understanding the oxidation mechanism and positions of twistacenes and twistheteroacenes under ambient conditions is very important because such knowledge can guide us to design and synthesize novel, larger stable analogues. Herein, we demonstrated for the first time that a twisted isoquinolinone can decompose under oxygen and light at room temperature. The as‐decomposed product 1 was fully characterized through conventional methods as well as single‐crystal structure analysis. Moreover, the physical properties of the as‐obtained product were carefully investigated and the possible formation mechanism was proposed.     

The invalidity of intermolecular proton transfer triggered twisted intramolecular charge transfer in excited state for 2-(4′-diethylamino-2′-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-imidazo-[4,5-b]pyridine

The excited-state dynamics of the excited-state proton transfer and intramolecular twisted charge transfer (TICT) reactions of a molecular photoswitch 2-(4′-diethylamino-2′-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-imidazo-[4,5-b]pyridine (DHP) in aprotic and alcoholic solvents have been theoretically investigated by using time-dependent density functional theory. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction of DHP proceeding upon excitation in all the solvents has been confirmed, and the dual emission has been assigned to the enol and keto forms of DHP. However, for methanol and ethanol solvents within strong hydrogen-bonded capacity, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between DHP and methanol/ethanol would promote an excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) along the hydrogen-bonded bridge. Importantly, the previous proposed ESDPT-triggered TICT mechanism of DHP in methanol and ethanol was not supported by our calculations. The twist motion would increase the total energy of the system for both the products of ESIPT and ESDPT. According to the calculations of the transition states, the ESDPT reaction occurs much easier in keto form generated by ESIPT. Therefore, a sequential ESIPT and ESDPT mechanism of DHP in methanol and ethanol has been reasonably proposed.     

Cohomology of affine Artin groups and applications

The result of this paper is the determination of the cohomology of Artin groups of type and with non-trivial local coefficients. The main result

is an explicit computation of the cohomology of the Artin group of type with coefficients over the module Here the first standard generators of the group act by -multiplication, while the last one acts by -multiplication. The proof uses some technical results from previous papers plus computations over a suitable spectral sequence. The remaining cases follow from an application of Shapiro's lemma, by considering some well-known inclusions: we obtain the rational cohomology of the Artin group of affine type as well as the cohomology of the classical braid group with coefficients in the -dimensional representation presented in Tong, Yang, and Ma (1996). The topological counterpart is the explicit construction of finite CW-complexes endowed with a free action of the Artin groups, which are known to be spaces in some cases (including finite type groups). Particularly simple formulas for the Euler-characteristic of these orbit spaces are derived.
