A note on the Chern-Simons invariant of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

In this note we study how the Chern-Simons invariant behaves when two hyperbolic 3-manifolds are glued together along incompressible
thrice-punctured spheres. Such an operation produces many hyperbolic 3-manifolds with different numbers of cusps sharing the same volume and the same Chern-Simons invariant. The results in this note, combined with those of Meyerhoff and Ruberman, give an algorithm for determining the unknown constant in Neumann's simplicial formula for the Chern-Simons invariant of hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

电子束产生大尺度等离子体过程的数值模拟研究

建立了一个四组分一维混合模型，对电子束注入大气产生大尺度等离子体的过程进行了数值模拟.结果表明了能量为140keV、流强为50mA/cm²的注入电子束，可以产生线度为0.5m，密度为10¹²cm^-3量级的大气环境下等离子体.电子束所伴随的空间电荷效应由于等离子体的产生会很快消失，不影响后续的等离子体产生过程.电子束注入流强主要影响产生等离子体的密度，而电子束能量则同时影响其空间线度和密度. 关键词： 电子束 碰撞 电离     

Band bending at the Ni/Si(100)-2×1 submonolayer interface

Band bending at the Ni/Si(100)-2×1 interface has been monitored by using Si 2p core level photoemission spectra. Two nickel-induced Si 2p components appear in the initial interaction between Ni and Si(100)-2×1, which is confined at the top surface and the first subsurface layers. At Ni coverage less than 0.0375 ML, Ni atoms prefer the adamantane interstitial sites on the first subsurface, but switch to the pedestal sites on Si dimer rows at higher Ni coverage. The change in the preferred occupation sites of Ni atoms on the Si(100)-2×1 surface strongly affects the amount of band bending shift. The shift towards higher binding energy, when Ni atoms occupy the adamantane interstitial sites, is attributed to metal-induced-gap states. While Ni atoms occupy the pedestal sites, the band bending shift is reduced which is attributed to the passivation of surface states.     

Exploitation of introducing of catalytic centers into layer galleries of layered silicates and related epoxy nanocomposites. I. Epoxy nanocomposites derived from montmorillonite modified with catalytic surfactant‐bearing carboxyl groups

Montmorillonite (MMT) was modified with the acidified cocamidopropyl betaine (CAB) and the resulting organo‐montmorillonite (O‐MMT) was dispersed in an epoxy/methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride system to form epoxy nanocomposites. The intercalation and exfoliation behavior of the epoxy nanocomposites were examined by X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The curing behavior and thermal property were investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and DSC, respectively. The results showed that MMT could be highly intercalated by acidified CAB, and O‐MMT could be easily dispersed in epoxy resin to form intercalated/exfoliated epoxy nanocomposites. When the O‐MMT loading was lower than 8 phr (relative to 100 phr resin), exfoliated nanocomposites were achieved. The glass‐transition temperatures (T_g's) of the exfoliated nanocomposite were 20 °C higher than that of the neat resin. At higher O‐MMT loading, partial exfoliation was achieved, and those samples possessed moderately higher T_g's as compared with the neat resin. O‐MMT showed an obviously catalytic nature toward the curing of epoxy resin. The curing rate of the epoxy compound increased with O‐MMT loading. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于一个描述夸克胶子火柱演化的相对论流体力学模型,研究了夸克相、强子相互作用以及非热过程(DrellYan对、粲强子衰变)的中等质量双轻子的产生.发现由于相边对夸克胶子物质演化的影响和RHIC能量核碰撞产生的夸克胶子物质具有高的初始温度,夸克相对双轻子的贡献显著增强,比那些来自强子相互作用的贡献重要,甚至能与来自非热的贡献比较.表明中等质量双轻子的增强是一个在核碰撞中产生了夸克胶子物质的可能信号. 关键词： 夸克-胶子物质 双轻子增强 相对论流体力学模型

Rugged distal tips for CO2 laser medicine

Low-loss and rugged distal tips for CO₂ laser have been proposed and fabricated based on a commercially available stainless steel (St) pipe. A method of smoothening the inner surface of the St pipe with a rough inner surface is put forward. Fabrication parameters, transmission properties, and mechanical strength of the cyclic olefin polymer-coated silver hollow St distal tip are experimentally discussed.

背景光光伏效应对屏蔽-光伏空间孤子的影响

在光伏晶体两端外加一恒定的直流偏压，背景光的光伏效应对形成屏蔽-光伏孤子的空间电荷场没有影响，但对晶体中的电流有影响.如果外电源的电动势是恒定的，则背景光的光伏效应与外电路的电阻协同起作用，可以通过晶体两端的电压降影响晶体中的空间电荷场，进而影响空间孤子的宽度.在一定的条件下甚至可以实现亮、暗孤子的转换. 关键词： 屏蔽-光伏 空间孤子 孤子宽度 亮暗孤子转换
