Particle systems on flows

We start with a stochastic flow of diffeomorphisms of the space. Particles enter the space at random times and places. Each particle is carried by the flow for some random amount of time. We examine the point process formed by the particles at a fixed time, on the evolution of that point process as time varies, and on the equilibrium law of the point process.     

北京自由电子激光最近进展──实现饱和振荡

北京自由电子激光(BFEL)装置于1993年底在10.68μm处实现了饱和振荡.输出激光能量为3mJ,饱和平顶宽度2μs.对应饱和振荡平均功率为210kW(宏脉冲),峰值功率约为20MW,比自发辐射高8个量级,单程小讯号净增益为24%,转换效率为0.45%,与理论预期结果相符.光束质量接近衍射极限.目前装置可工作于9-11μm.     

Yb:GdVO4晶体的缺陷研究

Yb：GdVO4晶体是一种很好的激光材料，但缺陷会对晶体的激光性能产生严重影响，开展对该晶体的缺陷研究有助于提高晶体质量。采用提拉法生长了面25mm×20mm，掺杂浓度为2％的Yb：GdVO4晶体；分析了晶体的结构及其对晶体解理性的影响；采用化学腐蚀法，以盐酸、氢氟酸为腐蚀剂，对晶体的主要晶面进行了化学腐蚀实验，通过其腐蚀坑形貌对晶体中的位错和晶界进行了研究；对晶体进行了高分辨X衍射实验，结果表明晶体中存在镶嵌块结构；开裂及散射颗粒也为晶体中较常见缺陷。分析了缺陷的成因并提出了预防措施。     

Curing and pyrolysis of epoxy resins containing 2-(6-oxido-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-dibenz(<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>)(1,2)oxaphosphorin-6-yl)-1,4-naphthalenediol or bisphenol S

This work examines the curing kinetics, thermal properties, and decomposition kinetics of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxies with three different curing agents, 2-(6-oxido-6H-dibenz(c,e)(1,2)oxaphosphorin-6-yl)-1,4-naphthalenediol (ODOPN), bisphenol A (BPA), and bisphenol S (BPS). The differential scanning calorimetry curing study reveals that the curing kinetics of the DGEBA/ODOPN epoxy is first order, independent of the scan rate. The ODOPN-containing epoxy, unlike the conventional BPA one, includes a phosphorus-containing bulky pendant aromatic group and results in an increase in the glass-transition temperature of 83 K, the char yield increases by a factor of 3, and the limiting oxygen index values increase from 23 to 27. For the BPS system, the glass-transition temperature increased slightly, and both the char yield and the limiting oxygen index value increased insignificantly when the test was conducted in air. Finally, the thermogravimetric analysis decomposition study in N₂ from Ozawa's analysis demonstrates that the DGEBA/BPS epoxy has the highest activation energy, followed by the regular DGEBA/BPA system, and lastly the DGEBA/ODOPN has the lowest activation energy. The low activation energy for the ODOPN system is attributed to the initial decomposition of the phosphorus compound in the formation of an insulating layer.     

Two New Saturated Sesquiterpene Diols—Cadinan-3β, 9β-Diol and Cadinan-3β, 9α-Diol from Taiwania Cryptomerioides Hayata

From the wood of Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata, two new sesquiterpenes, cadinan-3β, 9β-diol and cadinan-3β, 9α-diol were isolated as minor components. Their structures were elucidated as (I) and (II), respectively.
