New evidence from stable isotope for the uplift of mountains in northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

New data of oxygen and carbonate isotope in calcite cements from Cenozoic rocks in the Jianggelesayi area to reconstruct the uplift history of mountains in northern edge of the Qing-hai-Tibetan Plateau are presented. Analyses results show that rapid changes of δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C in the calcite cement occurred in both the Early Oligocene and Early Miocene. Studies on sedimentary features indicate that a rapid up-coarsing of the sediments size occurred in the Early Miocene, and sedimentary velocity increased rapidly during the Pliocene and Early Quaternary. Thus, it is suggested that the uplift of mountains in the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau initiated from the Early Oligocene, and a rapid uplift occurred in the early stage of the Miocene, while the sharp difference in topography between the northern plateau and the Tarim Basin predominately formed later than the Miocene.

     

Thermal-induced nonlinear optical characteristics of ethanol solution doped with silver nanoparticles

The investigation of nonlinear optical characteristics of ethanol solution doped with is presented. A large thermal-induced third-order nonlinear refractive index up to silver nanoparticles 1.941× 10^-7 cm2/W is obtained from the mixed solution under 488-nm continue wave （CW） laser irradiation, which may result from surface plasmon resonance （SPR） enhancement effect of silver nanoparticles as well as high thermo-optic coefficient and low thermal conductivity of ethanol. Obvious spatial self-phase modulation and influence of thermal-induced negative lens effect are observed when a beam propagates through this solution, indicating promising applications such as optical limiting, beam flattening, and so on.     

Ce掺杂对碳纳米管负载Mn催化剂结构及SCR反应性能的影响

采用等体积浸渍法制备多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)负载Ce-Mn的催化剂,考察了Ce掺杂对Mn/MWCNTs催化剂上NH₃选择性催化还原(SCR)NO_x反应活性的影响.并运用透射电镜扫描、N₂吸附-脱附、程序升温还原、X射线光电子能谱、X射线衍射等手段,重点考察了Ce掺杂对Mn/MWCNTs催化剂结构性质的影响.结果表明,Ce掺杂能显著提高催化剂的SCR活性,其活性增量随着Ce含量的增加先增大后减小;当Ce/Mn为0.6时,催化剂活性最佳.表征结果显示,Mn/MWCNTs中添加Ce后,金属氧化物在MWCNTs上的分散程度提高;催化剂的比表面积和孔体积增大,平均孔径减小;氧化能力提高;表面氧含量增加,Mn化合价升高;结晶度降低,Mn主要以无定形或微晶形式存在,Ce主要以CeO₂物相存在.     

New evidence from stable isotope for the uplift of mountains in northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

New data of oxygen and carbonate isotope in calcite cements from Cenozoic rocks inthe Jianggelesayi area to reconstruct the uplift history of mountains in northern edge of the Qing-hai-Tibetan Plateau are presented. Analyses results show that rapid changes of δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C inthe calcite cement occurred in both the Early Oligocene and Early Miocene. Studies on sedimen-tary features indicate that a rapid up-coarsing of the sediments size occurred in the Early Miocene,and sedimentary velocity increased rapidly during the Pliocene and Early Quaternary. Thus, it issuggested that the uplift of mountains in the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau initiatedfrom the Early Oligocene, and a rapid uplift occurred in the early stage of the Miocene, while thesharp difference in topography between the northern plateau and the Tarim Basin predominatelyformed later than the Miocene.
