2-μm emission performance of Tm~(3+)-Ho~(3+) co-doped tellurite glasses

The emission properties of 2-μm region fluorescence of Tm~(3+)-Ho~(3+) co-doped tellurite glasses are investigated. Introducing F~- ions to the composition of tellurite glasses plays a positive effect on the 2-μm emission.A maximum intensity of 2-μm emission is achieved when 1.5-mol%Tm_2O_3 and l-mol% Ho_2_O3 concentration are doped in the glasses.The emission cross section and gain coefficient of the ~5I_8→~5I_7 transition of Ho~(3+) are calculated.The emission cross section has a maximum of 1.29×10~(-2...     

Influence of resonator shape on nonlinear acoustic field in a thermoacoustic engine

The influence of the resonator shape on nonlinear acoustic field in a thermoacoustic engine is studied.The resonator of themoacoustic engine is boundary driving by a piston at one end,and the other end of it is rigid closed.A one-dimensional wave equation that accounts for gas dynamic nonlinearities and viscous dissipation in the resonator is established based on the governing equations of viscous hydromechanics.The nonlinear wave equation is solved using approximate Galerkin method.The nonlinear acoustic field in four different types of shaped resonators including hyperbolical,exponential,conical and sinusoidal are obtained and compared with that of a cylindrical resonator.It is found that the amplitude and waveform of the pressure are strongly affected by the resonator shape,the driving amplitude and the oscillation frequency of the piston.Waveform distortion,resonance frequency shift and hysteresis are observed,when the piston oscillation amplitude is large enough.The advantages of shaped resonator for thermoacoustic engine lie in inhibition of higher order harmonics and improvement of pressure ratio,etc.

Fractional-order Maxwell model of seabed mud and its effect on surface-wave damping

A fractional-order Maxwell model is used to describe the viscoelastic seabed mud.The experimental data of the real mud well fit the results of the fractional-order Maxwell model that has fewer parameters than the traditional model.The model is then used to investigate the effect of the mud on the surface-wave damping.The damping rate of a linear monochromatic wave is obtained.The elastic resonance of the mud layer is observed,which leads to the peaks in the damping rate.The damping rate is a sum of the m...     

Rhodium-catalyzed selective [2+2+2] cyclizations of 1,6-diynes with monoynes leading to isoindolines and isobenzofurans

<正>A highly efficient and selective[2+2+2]cyclization of diynes and monoalkynes was catalyzed by rhodium under room temperature in water/THF mixed solvent,affording isoindolines and isobenzofurans in good to excellent yields.The center atoms (N,O) in the diynes showed a significant effect for the cyclization.     

STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION AND COMPOSITION CHANGE IN THE SURFACE REGION OF POLYPROPYLENE/CLAY NANOCOMPOSITES ANNEALED AT HIGH TEMPERATURES

A model experiment was done to clear the formation mechanism of protective layers during combustion of polypropylene(PP)/organically modified montmorillonite(OMMT) nanocomposites.The investigation was focused on the effects of annealing temperature on the structural changes and protective layer formation.The decomposition of OMMT and degradation of PP/OMMT nanocomposites were characterized by means of thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).The structural evolution and composition change in the surface region of...     

Analysis of circumferential waves on a water-filled cylindrical shell

The formation of scattering field from a water-filled cylindrical shell was studied. The analytic solutions of scattering field are derived using elastic thin shell theory and Sommerfeld-Watson Transformation(SWT) method.Complex wave-number poles of circumferential waves are found numerically,the phase speed and attenuation of circumferential waves between the situation of a hollow cylindrical shell and a water-filled cylindrical shell are compared. The synthesis of backscattering form functions which are sum of specular reflection component and circumferential waves is consistent with normal mode result.The calculated echo sequences of additional fluid circumferential waves are compared with experimental results. The results show that richer resonance peaks appeared in the backscattering form functions of a water-filled cylindrical shell and the formation of echo’s structure are due to re-radiation effects of additional fluid circumferential waves.
