磁性TiO2/CoFe2O4纳米复合光催化材料的制备

以磁性CoFe2O4为核,采用改进的溶胶-凝胶法,制备了磁性TiO2/CoFe2O4纳米复合光催化材料.利用VSM(振动样品磁强计)技术对其磁性能进行了研究,结果表明:由该法所得的TiO2/CoFe2O4纳米复合光催化材料的饱和磁化强度虽稍弱于纯CoFe2O4纳米材料,但其矫顽力则优于CoFe2O4.TEM、XRD、UV-Vis等的结果表明,该纳米复合材料中的TiO2为锐钛矿结构;与TiO2相比,纳米复合材料对光的吸收拓展到了整个紫外-可见区,且吸收强度大大增强.对染料废水光催化降解的模拟研究表明,该复合材料在紫外光下,6 h可以使亚甲基蓝染料溶液的脱色率达95%,且重复使用3次时染料溶液的脱色率仍能保持在90%,明显优于纯TiO2.     

boldmath Broadband water window supercontinuum generation with a ω+3ω/2 multicycle two-colour pulse

We propose a method to generate a high-efficiency broadband water window supercontinuum with a ω+3ω/2 multicycle two-colour pulse. Our results reveal that the 3ω/2 laser pulse can simultaneously modulate the acceleration step and the ionization step, which not only broadens the bandwidth but also enhances the yield of the generated supercontinuum. An ultra-broadband supercontinuum from 290 eV to 555 eV covering the whole water window is generated. Using this method, we expect that an isolated 62-as pulse with a minor pre-pulse can be directly obtained.     

Light scattering of nanocrystalline TiO2 film used in dye-sensitized solar cells

This paper studies the light scattering and adsorption of nanocrystalline TiO2 porous films used in dye-sensitized solar cells composed of anatase and/or rutile particles by using an optical four-flux radiative transfer model. These light properties are difficult to measure directly on the functioning solar cells and they can not be calculated easily from the first-principle computational or quantitative theoretical evaluations. These simulation results indicate that the light scattering of 1 25 nm TiO2 particles is negligible, but it is effective in the range of 80 and 180 nm. A suitable mixture of small particles （10 nm radius）, which are resulted in a large effective surface, and of larger particles （150 nm radius）, which are effective light scatterers, have the potential to enhance solar absorption significantly. The futile crystals have a larger refractive index and thus the light harvest of the mixtures of such larger rutile and relatively small anatase particles is improved in comparison with that of pure anatase films. The light absorption of the 10μm double-layered films is also examined. A maximal light absorption of double-layered film is gotten when the thickness of the first layer of 10 urn-sized anatase particles is comparable to that of the second larger rutile layer.     

Broadband water window supercontinuum generation with a w ＋3w/2 multicycle two-colour pulse

We propose a method to generate a high-efficiency broadband water window supercontinuum with a w ＋ 3w/2 multicycle two-colour pulse. Our results reveal that the 3w/2 laser pulse can simultaneously modulate the acceleration step and the ionization step, which not only broadens the bandwidth but also enhances the yield of the generated supercontinuum. An ultra-broadband supercontinuum from 290 eV to 555 eV covering the whole water window is generated. Using this method, we expect that an isolated 62-as pulse with a minor pre-pulse can be directly obtained.     

Interaction of intense laser pulses with hydrogen atomic clusters

The interaction between intense femtosecond laser pulses and hydrogen atomic clusters is studied by a simplified Coulomb explosion model. The dependences of average proton kinetic energy on cluster size, pulse duration, laser intensity and wavelength are studied respectively. The calculated results indicate that the irradiation of a femtosecond laser of longer wavelength on hydrogen atomic clusters may be a simple, economical way to produce highly kinetic hydrogen ions. The phenomenon suggests that the irradiation of femtosecond laser of longer wavelength on deuterium atomic clusters may be easier than that of shorter wavelength to drive nuclear fusion reactions. The product of the laser intensity and the squared laser wavelength needed to make proton energy saturated as a function of the squared cluster radius is also investigated. The proton energy distribution calculated is also shown and compared with the experimental data. Our results are in agreement with the experimental results fairly well.     

NiFe2O4磁性纳米材料的溶剂热法一步合成

以Fe(NO_3)_3·9H_2O和Ni(NO_3)_2·6H_2O为原料,在未添加任何碱性沉淀剂和高温晶化处理的条件下,通过对实验条件(包括溶剂、溶剂热温度和时间)的优化,利用溶剂热法一步制备了具有良好结晶性和超顺磁性的NiFe_2O_4磁性纳米材料。结果表明:用H_2O和EtOH-H_2O做溶剂都不利于NiFe_2O_4的生成;用EtOH做溶剂,为了获得纯度较高的NiFe_2O_4磁性纳米材料,要保证适当的溶剂热温度和时间;所得材料的磁性能与材料中磁性组分NiFe_2O_4的含量和其结晶程度有关。该制备方法最突出的优点是简单、快速、成本低、从源头消除了污染,且所得的材料磁性能优良。     

Fe3+掺杂TiO2光催化纤维材料的制备及表征

以棉花纤维为模板制备了一系列Fe3+掺杂的、具有中空纤维结构的TiO2光催化材料(Fe3+/TiO2), 利用热重分析(TG)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、zeta电位、红外光谱(IR)和紫外-可见光谱(UV-Vis)等技术对其形貌、晶体结构及表面结构、光吸收特性等进行了表征. 以亚甲基蓝(MB)溶液的脱色降解为模型反应, 考察了不同Fe3+掺杂量的样品在太阳光下的光催化性能. 结果表明, 用模板法制备的Fe3+/TiO2中空纤维结构材料表面存在大量纳米微粒(平均尺寸约12 nm); Fe3+可能均匀分散于锐钛矿结构的TiO2中, 部分取代Ti4+的晶格位置, 既拓宽了TiO2的光谱响应范围, 又形成了TiO2晶体结构的缺陷, 使其表面带负电荷. 在太阳光条件下, 该纤维结构材料较纯TiO2对MB溶液具有更好的光催化脱色降解效果, 且Fe3+的掺入量显著影响该纤维材料的催化性能; 当Fe3+掺杂量为0.15%(w), 在500 ℃焙烧2 h所得中空纤维材料的催化性能最好, 2 h即可使MB溶液的脱色降解率达93%; 重复使用5次仍可使MB溶液的脱色降解率保持在90%以上, 且该催化剂材料易于离心分离去除. 因此, 以该模板合成法, 通过Fe3+的掺杂有望使TiO2成为一种低或无能耗、高活性的绿色环保型催化材料.     

Performance of the low pressure MWPCs for fission fragments under a high background

Two couples of low pressure multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPC) were located in the target chamber to detect fission fragments in a hypernuclei producing experiment at Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (Jlab). In the experiment, a continuous wave (CW) electron beam was applied to form hypernuclei by electromagnetic interaction. In the target chamber, the high energy (1.853 GeV) and high intensity (500 nA) primary electron beam caused a high particle background, which influenced the detection of the fission fragments. This report described the design of the MWPCs and studied the fission-fragment detecting performance of them under such a high background. The efficiency of the MWPCs was given with the help of a high resolution kaon spectrometer. At the same time, the background particles were discussed with a Monte Carlo code based on GEANT4.     

Density measurement through elastic electron scattering with a gaseous target at the Jefferson Lab

We report the density measurement through e-³He elastic scattering with a 1.23 GeV electron beam in Jefferson Lab experiment E06-010. The extracted ³He density is (9.26±0.06) amagats and the N₂/³He ratio is (1.49±0.08)%. In addition, these results are consistent with the deduced target densities based on pressure broadening measurement.     

High-order harmonic generation with a two-color laser pulse

We theoretically investigate the electron dynamics of the high-order harmonics generation process by combining a near-infrared 800 nm driving pulse with a mid-infrared 2000 nm control field.We also investigate the emission time of harmonics using time-frequency analysis to illustrate the physical mechanisms of high-order harmonic generation.We calculate the ionization rate using the Ammosov-Delone-Krainov model and interpret the variations in harmonic intensity for different control field strengths and delays.We find that the width of the harmonic plateau can be extended when the control electric field is added,and a supercontinuum from 198 to 435 eV is generated,from which an isolated 61-as pulse can be directly obtained.
