The weakly pinned single crystals of the hexagonal 2H-NbSe2 compound have emerged as prototypes for determining and characterizing the phase boundaries of the possible order-disorder
transformations in the vortex matter. We present here a status report based on the ac and dc magnetization measurements of
the peak effect phenomenon in three crystals of 2H-NbSe2, in which the critical current densities vary over two orders of magnitude. We sketch the generic vortex phase diagram of
a weakly pinned superconductor, which also utilizes theoretical proposals. We also establish the connection between the metastability
effects and pinning. 相似文献
Biodegradable multi‐l ‐arginyl‐poly‐l ‐aspartate (MAPA), more commonly cyanophycin, prepared with recombinant Escherichia coli contains a polyaspartate backbone with lysine and arginine as side chains. Two assemblies of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) are fabricated at three different concentration ratios of insoluble MAPA (iMAPA) with hyaluronic acid (iMAPA/HA) and with γ‐polyglutamic acid (iMAPA/γ‐PGA), respectively, utilizing a layer‐by‐layer approach. Both films with iMAPA and its counterpart, HA or γ‐PGA, as the terminal layer are prepared to assess the effect on film roughness, cell growth, and cell migration. iMAPA incorporation is higher for a higher concentration of the anionic polymer due to better charge interaction. The iMAPA/HA films when compared to iMAPA/γ‐PGA multilayers show least roughness. The growth rates of L929 fibroblast cells on the PEMs are similar to those on glass substrate, with no supplementary effect of the terminal layer. However, the migration rates of L929 cells increase for all PEMs. γ‐PGA incorporated films impart 50% enhancement to the cell migration after 12 h of culture as compared to the untreated glass, and the smooth films containing HA display a maximum 82% improvement. The results present the use of iMAPA to construct a new layer‐by‐layer system of polyelectrolyte biopolymers with a potential application in wound dressing. 相似文献
In subnormal glow discharge under d.c. excitation at different pressure in a varying transverse magnetic field (0 to 30 G)
some measurements have been carried out for various initial average tube currents. The voltage across the discharge increases
and average tube current and residual current decreases in the magnetic field. With the help of Beckman’s expression [4] for
the axial field and the electron density distribution in a transverse magnetic field the observed variation of current and
voltage can be satisfactorily explained. The variation of axial electric field with transverse magnetic field can be represented
to a fair degree of accuracy by the derived equation. The behaviour of residual current with magnetic field has been observed
in these oscillations. 相似文献
An integral equation formulation for buoyancy-driven convection problems is developed and illustrated. Buoyancy-driven convection in a bounded cylindrical geometry with a free surface is studied for a range of aspect ratios and Nusselt numbers. The critical Rayleigh number, the nature of the cellular motion, and the heat transfer enhancement are computed using linear theory. Green's functions are used to convert the linear problem into linear Fredholm integral equations. Theorems are proved which establish the properties of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the linear integral operator which appears in these equations. 相似文献
Summary: Polystyrene‐block‐poly(ethylene oxide) (SEO) block copolymer thin films, in which CdS clusters have been sequestered into the PEO domains of the SEO block copolymers, are found to induce the morphological transformation of PEO from cylinders to spheres, as shown by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This transformation is caused by the presence of hydrogen‐bonding interactions between surface‐hydroxylated CdS and PEO, as confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies.

A room temperature vulcanization silicone rubber was widely used as the mold making material due to its high elasticity, good heat-resistance and low surface energy. To enhance the efficiency of making the silicone rubber mold, accurately measuring the solidification time is an important issue. This study demonstrated a non-invasive measurement system to measure the solidification time of silicone rubber. The solidification time can be determined rapidly from the thickness of silicone rubber according to the predicted equation. The maximum relative error of the predicted equation is about 8.26%. The temperature rise of the silicone during the solidification process is an important phenomenon to determine the solidification behavior of silicone rubber. The solidification mechanism of silicone rubber mold is demonstrated. 相似文献
A dynamic vibration absorber is effective in suppressing harmonic excitation by tuning its natural frequency to match the excitation frequency. The rotational pendulum absorber (RPA) has a wide-range of natural frequencies that are continuously tunable by setting a suitable rotational speed. In this paper it is shown how to automatically tune the rotational speed of a two-degree-of-freedom RPA by detecting the phase between the vibration of the primary structure and that of the RPA. For this purpose the speed response of the RPA is introduced in addition to the frequency response. It is seen that if the excitation frequency is above a critical value dependent on the parameters of the RPA, the second vibration mode of the RPA is effective, allowing a relatively low rotational speed for the pendulums. The speed tuning algorithm is tested on a flexible plate that is subject to excitations of around 80 Hz, which do not generate visible oscillations but emit audible noise instead. Experimental results confirm the noise-level reduction effect of the RPA. 相似文献
A method to fabricate poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-poly(4-styrene sulfonate)-Meldola Blue (PEDOT-PSS-MDB)-modified electrodes
had been disclosed. Firstly, the PEDOT-PSS-film-modified electrode was electrochemically prepared. Then, the PEDOT-PSS was
treated as a matrix to immobilize electroactive mediator, Meldola Blue (MDB), by means of an electrostatic interaction to
form the proposed film, PEDOT-PSS-MDB. Electrochemical properties of the proposed film exhibited surface confinement and pH
dependence. The PEDOT-PSS-MDB electrode could electrocatalytically reduce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with a low overpotential and showed a linear response to H2O2 in the concentration range of 5 to 120 μM, detection limit of 0.1 μM, and sensitivity of 353.9 μA mM−1 cm−2 (S/N = 3). By comparison, the electrocatalytic activity of PEDOT-PSS-MDB electrode was found superior to that of PEDOT-PSS and
MDB-PSS electrodes. It also has competitive potential as compared with other mediators, through the use of HRP to determine
H2O2. Moreover, the potential interferents such as ascorbic acid, dopamine, uric acid, and glucose were also studied for H2O2 determination by the proposed film. 相似文献
Capillary electrpphoresis (CE)/electrochemical detection (EC) for the simultane-ous determination of hydrazine and isoniazid has been developed.The electrochemical method uses a novel modified electrode dispersed with ultrafine platinum particles on the surface of a 30μm carbon fiber microelectrode.The unique characteristic of the Pt-particles modified carbon fiber microelectrode is its excellent stability.The current measurement for hydrazine is more sensitive than that of isoniazid.Selective determination of trace amount of free hydrazine in isoniazid and its formulation can be achieved at applied potential of 0.5V. 相似文献
