A RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF PHASE STRUCTURE OF DRAWN POLYETHYLENE

A drawn high density polyethylene（HDPE）has been measured by Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）. The crystalline structure of drawn HDPE is analysed by the Raman internal modes in terms of mass fractions of the crystalline orthorhombic phase, the liquid- like amorphous phase and the disordered anisotropic phase. The mass fractions depend on draw temperature T;and draw ratio R;. The fraction of disordered anisotropic amorphous phase changes very little with, the T;and increases with increasing R;. Sum of the mass fractions of crystalline orthorhombic phase and the disordered anisotropic phase increases linearly as the same slope as the crystallinity W;determined from DSC measurements with increasing T;or R;and it is higher than the W;for all the samples. The results show that the mass fraction of disordered anisotropic phase is partially devoted by the taut tie molecules （TTM s） in the amorphous state. The dependence of the disordered anisotropic phase on T;and R;supports the mechanism of plastic deformation of fibre structure.

Disordered quantum walks in two-dimensional lattices

The properties of the two-dimensional quantum walk with point, line, and circle disorders in phase are reported.Localization is observed in the two-dimensional quantum walk with certain phase disorder and specific initial coin states.We give an explanation of the localization behavior via the localized stationary states of the unitary operator of the walker＋ coin system and the overlap between the initial state of the whole system and the localized stationary states.

Microscopic Evidence of Destroying the Order of Magnetic Sequence in CuO_2 Chain by Zn, Ni, Co Doping in Sr_(14)Cu_(24)O_(41) Compound

The Zn2＋, Ni2＋ and Co3＋ doped Sr14Cu24041 compounds were synthesized by standard solid state method. X-ray diffraction results show that the changes in lattice parameters are very small. Selected area electron diffraction patterns （EDPs） show that the diffraction spots corresponding to the CuO2 chain substructure are extended to streaks along a＊ and b＊ directions for all the samples, while the diffraction spots produced merely by the Cu203 ladder substructure are still very sharp. This means that the periodicities of chains in a＊ and b＊ directions are partially destroyed upon doping ofZn, Ni and Co due to that the initial phase of each chain becomes a random variable. The temperature dependence of magnetic properties was measured for every sample. And the number of dimers in CuO2 chain per formula unit （f.u.） and dimer coupling constant are obtained by fitting the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility. It is found that the degree of initial phase disorder is related to the order degree of magnetic sequence in CuO2 chain. For the un-doped sample, the decoupling of dimers is weak, the magnetic sequence is slightly destroyed, and the streaks in EDP are also very weak, which implies the degree of initial phase disorder in CuO2 chain is very low. When Zn2~ and Ni2＋ ions are doped, the number of dimers per f.u. decreases, and the intensity of diffraction streaks increases in comparison with the corresponding spots. Furthermore, when the high spin magnetic ions Co3＋ are doped, the number of holes in Sr14Cu24041 decreases, the magnetic sequence is destroyed very seriously, and the spots in EDP are extended to streaks almost completely. The phenomenon that the diffraction spots ofCuO2 chain extend to streaks in EDP appears as evidence that the magnetic sequence in the CuO2 chain is destroyed by doping of Zn, Ni, Co.
