阴离子Gemini表面活性剂在油/水界面行为的分子动力学模拟

采用分子动力学方法研究了磺酸盐型阴离子Gemini表面活性剂在油/水界面的吸附行为, 考察了不同长度的连接基(Spacer)对表面活性剂在界面的聚集形态及界面性质的影响. 密度分布和微观结构信息显示, Gemini表面活性剂能在油/水界面形成单层膜结构. Gemini表面活性剂能使油/水界面的厚度显著增大, 并使界面形成能降低. 当连接基为6个碳时, 此类磺酸盐型Gemini表面活性剂的界面厚度最大, 形成的界面最稳定. 连接基长度对Gemini表面活性剂单层膜周围的水分子和Na⁺的吸附结构影响不大, 但是能影响水分子的扩散行为.     

Simulation of loss of uranium ions due to charge changing processes in the CSRm ring

Significant beam loss caused by the charge exchange processes and ion impact-induced outgassing may restrict the maximum number of accelerated heavy ions during the high intensity operation of an accelerator. In order to control beam loss due to charge exchange processes and confine the generated desorption gas, tracking of the beam loss distribution and installation of absorber blocks with low-desorption rate material at appropriate locations in the main Cooler Storage Ring (CSRm) at the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, will be performed. The loss simulation of uranium ions with electron-loss is presented in this report and the conclusion is that most charge changed particles are lost in the second dipole of the super-period structure. The calculation of the collimation efficiency of the CSRm ring will be continued in the future.     

Enhancement of electron–ion recombination rates at low energy range in the heavy ion storage ring CSRm

Recombination of Ar¹⁴⁺, Ar¹⁵⁺, Ca¹⁶⁺, and Ni¹⁹⁺ ions with electrons has been investigated at low energy range based on the merged-beam method at the main cooler storage ring CSRm in the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou,China. For each ion, the absolute recombination rate coefficients have been measured with electron–ion collision energies from 0 meV to 1000 meV which include the radiative recombination(RR) and also dielectronic recombination(DR)processes. In order to interpret the measured results, RR cross sections were obtained from a modified version of the semiclassical Bethe and Salpeter formula for hydrogenic ions. DR cross sections were calculated by a relativistic configuration interaction method using the flexible atomic code(FAC) and AUTOSTRUCTURE code in this energy range. The calculated RR + DR rate coefficients show a good agreement with the measured value at the collision energy above 100 meV.However, large discrepancies have been found at low energy range especially below 10 meV, and the experimental results show a strong enhancement relative to the theoretical RR rate coefficients. For the electron–ion collision energy below 1 meV, it was found that the experimentally observed recombination rates are higher than the theoretically predicted and fitted rates by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9. The strong dependence of RR rate coefficient enhancement on the charge state of the ions has been found with the scaling rule of q^3.0, reproducing the low-energy recombination enhancement effects found in other previous experiments.     

狭缝滞留吸附性质的理论研究

针对Gibbs系综狭缝空间的单原子分子吸附系统, 引入了分子间作用对数的校正因子对格子空间的密度泛函理论(LDFT, lattice density functional theory)进行了修正. 利用连续迭代的方法, 探讨了狭缝滞留吸附行为的微观机理. 对比了修正前后的LDFT理论对滞留吸附行为的预测结果, 发现差别较大. 原LDFT理论由于平均场近似的处理, 对滞留吸附行为预测存在系统误差.     

修正的格子空间的密度泛函理论在狭缝中的应用

对描述单原子分子溶液在狭缝中的吸附现象的格子空间的密度泛函理论 (LDFT, lattice density functional theory)进行了修正, 在系统Helmholtz函数的推导中引入了平均场近似校正和Gibbs-Helmholtz方程. 对比Monte Carlo (MC)模拟结果, 发现LDFT理论对吸附分子在狭缝中的吸附浓度分布的预测与模拟数据有较大的偏差, 而修正模型的结果与模拟数据吻合较好 .随着体相浓度的变化,分子在狭缝中具有多级吸附行为, 具体表现为在特定体相浓度区, 对相同的体相浓度,狭缝中同时存在不同的分子浓度分布, 而在Gibbs等温线上可以明显看出多级吸附的性质. 对比修正前后的结果发现,两者均可以预测多级吸附行为, 但仍存在着较大的差异.
