The solar wind almost disappeared on May 11, 1999: the solar wind plasma density and dynamic pressure were less than 1cm−3 and 0.1 nPa respectively, while the interplanetary magnetic field was northward. The polar ionospheric data observed by the multi-instruments at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica on such special event day was compared with those of the control day (May 14). It was shown that geomagnetic activity was very quiet on May 11 at Zhongshan. The magnetic pulsation, which usually occurred at about magnetic noon, did not appear. The ionosphere was steady and stratified, and the F2 layer spread very little. The critical frequency of day-side F2 layer, f0F2, was larger than that of control day, and the peak of f0F2 appeared 2 hours earlier. The ionospheric drift velocity was less than usual. There were intensive auroral Es appearing at magnetic noon. All this indicates that the polar ionosphere was extremely quiet and geomagnetic field was much more dipolar on May 11. There were some signatures of auroral substorm before midnight, such as the negative deviation of the geomagnetic H component, accompanied with auroral Es and weak Pc3 pulsation.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) study was done on calcite encrustation on Fili neotectonic fault surface, Greece. Normally such
calcite encrustations on fault surfaces are not observed. Significantly, the ESR study has detected the presence of nitrate
NO32− radical in this calcite encrustation, havingg⊥=2.0063±0.0001 and hyperfine coupling constantA⊥=3.44 mT, the second such detection of nitrate NO32− radical following a sample from Scott Glacier, Antarctica. From isochronal thermal annealing measurement the NO32− radical was found to be quite stable, only fully annealed at 475°C. This study also shows that the ESR, as a tool, can be
suitably applied to date the age of formation of the calcite encrustation with SO3− as an ESR dating signal by additive γ-ray irradiation. A preliminary estimation indicates the age of formation of calcite
precipitation at Fili fault, Greece to be about 5600 years. 相似文献
The effect of oxygen isotope substitution on the transition temperature Tc of a superconducting (Nd1−xCex)2CuO4−δ system was studied, where the special synthetic method was taken to minimize ambiguous factors on the oxygen concentration and to guarantee the complete substitution of 16O by 18O. The isotope exponent in the relationship of Tc∝1/M was estimated to be less than 0.15 by magnetic susceptibility measurements. 相似文献
This paper describes a curved field-sequential-color matrix display using fast-response ferroelectric liquid crystal. Black
matrix and transparent electrode patterns were formed on a thin plastic substrate by a transfer method from a glass substrate.
While a composite film of liquid crystal and micro-polymers of walls and fibers was formed between the flexible substrates
by printing, laminating and curing processes of a solution of monomers and liquid crystal, the mechanical stability was enhanced
by use of multi-functional monomers to form large display panels. The image pixels of the matrix panel were driven by an active
matrix scheme using an external switch transistor array at a frequency of 180 Hz for intermittent three-primary-color backlight
illumination. The flexible A4-paper-sized color display with 24 × 16 pixels and 60 Hz field frequency was demonstrated by
illuminating it with sequential three-primary-color lights from light-emitting diodes of the backlight. Our display system
is useful in various information displays because of its freedom of setting and location. 相似文献
