A well recognized model potential is used to study the superconducting state parameters (SSP) viz. electron–phonon coupling strength λ, Coulomb pseudopotential μ1, transition temperature TC, isotope effect exponent α and effective interaction strength N0V of some binary metallic glasses of simple, non-simple and transition metals. Five local field correction functions proposed by Hartree (H), Taylor (T), Ichimaru–Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F) and Sarkar et al. (S) are used in the present investigation to study the screening influence on the aforesaid properties. Instead of using Vegard’s law, pseudo-alloy-atom model (PAA) in the present investigation is proposed and found successful. The present results of the SSP are found in qualitative agreement with other such earlier reported data wherever exist, which confirms the superconducting phase in the metallic glasses. 相似文献
From rehydration experiments the hydrates Ba(OH)2 · 8 H2O, Ba(OH)2 · 3 H2O β-Ba(OH)2, · 1 H2O, and γ-Ba(OH)2 · 1 H2O have been found in the system Ba(OH)2-H2O. Thermoanalytical measurements (DTA, TG, DTG, high temperature X-ray diffraction, high temperature Raman scattering) on these hydrates are reported. Thermal decomposition of Ba(OH)2 · 8 H2O and Ba(OH)2 · 3 H2O always results in the formation of β-Ba(OH)2 · 1 H2O, the stable form of the monohydrates at ambient temperature. Dehydration of β- and γ-Ba(OH)2 · 1 H2O, both of which form anhydrous β-Ba(OH)2 as the first product of decomposition, starts at 105 and 115°C, respectively. Single crystals of Ba(OH)2 · 3 H2O and γ-Ba(OH)2 · 1 H2O were prepared from Ba(OH)2 · 8 H2O meltings and from ethanolic solutions of Ba(OH)2 , respectively. The crystal data are: Ba(OH)2 · 3 H2O (orthorhombic, Pnma): a = 764.0(2), b = 1140,3(5), c = 596.5(1) pm, Z = 4; γ-Ba(OH)2 · 1 H2O (monoclinic, P21/m or P21): a = 704.9(2), b = 418.4(1), c = 633.3(1) pm, β = 111.45(2)°, Z = 2. 相似文献
The enthalpies of formation of the 2,2′-dipyridinium ion and the 2,2′-dipyridyl-iron(II) complex in methanol—water media at 25°C have been determined by caloriumetry. The entropy-changes have been calculated combining the enthalpy values with the corresponding free-energy changes previously reported. The role of solvents on the thermodynamic parameters has been discussed. 相似文献

Peptide-based nanofibres are a versatile class of tunable materials with applications in optoelectronics, sensing and tissue engineering. However, the understanding of the nanofibre surface at the molecular level is limited. Here, a series of homologous dilysine–diphenylalnine tetrapeptides were synthesised and shown to self-assemble into water-soluble nanofibres. Despite the peptide nanofibres displaying similar morphologies, as evaluated through atomic force microscopy and neutron scattering, significant differences were observed in their ability to support sensitive primary neurons. Contact angle and labelling experiments revealed that differential presentation of lysine moieties at the fibre surface did not affect neuronal viability; however the mobility of phenylalanine residues at the nanofibre surface, elucidated through solid- and gel-state NMR studies and confirmed through tethered bilayer lipid membrane experiments, was found to be the determining factor in governing the suitability of a given peptide as a scaffold for primary neurons. This work offers new insights into characterising and controlling the nanofibre surface at the molecular level.The mobility of hydrophobic moieties at a peptide nanofibre surface determines its suitability as a scaffold for sensitive primary cells.相似文献
The distortion of the charge cloud around a uniformly charged, dielectric, rigid sphere that translates and rotates in an unbounded binary, symmetric electrolyte at zero Reynolds number is examined. The zeta potential of the particle ζ is assumed small relative to the thermal voltage scale. It is assumed that the equilibrium structure of the cloud is slightly distorted, which requires that the Péclet numbers characterizing distortion due to particle translation, , and rotation, , are small compared to unity. Here, a is radius of the particle; D is the ionic diffusion coefficient; and , where U and Ω are the rectilinear and angular velocities of the particle, respectively. Perturbation expansions for small and are employed to calculate the nonequilibrium structure of the cloud, whence the force and torque on the particle are determined. In particular, we predict that the sphere experiences a force orthogonal to its directions of translation and rotation. This “lift” force arises from the nonlinear distortion of the cloud under the combined actions of particle translation and rotation. The lift force is given by . Here, ε is the permittivity of the electrolyte; is the Debye length; and is a negative function that decreases in magnitude with increasing . The lift force implies that an unconstrained particle would follow a curved path; an electrokinetic analog of the inertial Magnus effect. Finally, the implication of the lift force on cross‐streamline migration of an electrophoretic particle in shear flow is discussed. 相似文献
Particle size distribution of nanoparticles plays an important role in modelling many scientific and engineering problems. In this article, we proposed a Finite Volume Method (FVM) to model TiO2 nanoparticles formation using population balance equations (PBEs) by incorporating the simultaneous agglomeration and disintegration processes. The superposition of the PBEs for agglomeration and disintegration with different kernels leads to a system of partial-integro differential equations, which are numerically solved by using FVM. The precipitation of TiO2 nanoparticles in the batch reactor is studied experimentally as well as by numerical simulations based on Austin and Diemer disintegration kernels and Shear agglomeration kernel. Finally, the capability of the precipitation model is evaluated and the experimental results on particle sizes are compared with the numerical results.
In this short note we propose a simple two-stage sparse phase retrieval strategy that uses a near-optimal number of measurements, and is both computationally efficient and robust to measurement noise. In addition, the proposed strategy is fairly general, allowing for a large number of new measurement constructions and recovery algorithms to be designed with minimal effort. 相似文献
We consider the numerical solution of a initial boundary value problem with a time delay. The problem under consideration
is singularly perturbed from the mathematical perspective. Assuming that the coefficients of the differential equation are
smooth, we construct and analyze the finite difference method whose solutions converge pointwise at all points of the domain
independently of the singular perturbation parameter. The method permits its extension to the case of adaptive meshes, which
may be used to improve the solution. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. The
convergence obtained in practice satisfies the theoretical predictions. 相似文献
