The weak interaction energy become bigger as the number of hydrogen bonds increases. The donor groups on the host and electron-withdrawing groups on the guest molecules favor hydrogen bonding interactions, and the formation of hydrogen bonding leads to electron density flow from the host to the guest molecules. Electronic spectra of these complexes were computed using INDO/SCI method. Blue-shift of the clectronic absorption spectra for the complexes, comparing that of the host, takes place, and the first peaks for different complexes changed slightly. These are in agreement with the experimcntal results. The cause of blue-shift was discussed, and the electronic transitions were assigned based on theoretical calculations. The potential curve of double proton transfer in the complex was calculated, and the transition state and activated energy relative to the N H bond were obtained.展开更多

This instructional device is believed to enhance the teaching-learning process and would also help address the scarcity of instructional equipment in the school and in the country. Descriptive method of research was employed to come up with the design of the simulator based on the course content of basic digital electronics subject. Acceptability of the improvised simulator based on standards set in this study was?gathered from the experts as respondents using a self-made questionnaire. The data were treated using average weighted mean utilizing parametric scales with verbal descriptions. Findings revealed that the improvised logic gates simulator is highly acceptable in terms of its cost and availability of components,?design and construction,operations, and troubleshooting features. It is concluded that the improvised logic gates simulator is at par in terms of standards on instructional devices based on the evaluation results of experts and is therefore recommended to be used in basic digital electronics instruction. The simulator is an innovative answer and an alternate solution to the scarcity of instructional materials and devices at Caraga State University Cabadbaran Campus.展开更多

The strain field of arrays of buried dislocations in a relaxed SiGe buffer layer provided preferential nucleation sites for quantum dots. Burgers vector analysis using plan-view transmission electron microscopy (TEM) verified that the preferential nucleation sites of Ge SAQDs depended on the Burgers vector direction of corresponding dislocations. The measurement of the lateral distance between SAQDs and dislocations together with crosssection TEM observation clarified that the location of SAQDs was at the intersection of the dislocation slip plane and the top surface. The misfit strain should be an additional factor governing the uniformity in size, shape and distribution of Ge SAQDs.展开更多

The volume of electronic components, especially the height, is very important for the structural and thermal design of electronic devices. This paper presents a design scheme of an online height measurement device based on laser triangulation and commercial charge coupled device(CCD). It analyzes the principles of electronic component height measurement, and expounds the composition and working principle of the laser measurement system. In addition, the commonly used methods to determine the center position are compared and analysed. These methods include circle fitting, gray centroid and extension method or Gaussian fitting. These methods usually lead to different results. The experimental results show that the fitting speed of the gray centroid is faster. The 3 D model of components is given through measurement, and the error factors affecting measurement are analysed.展开更多
