It was shown that the specific Δλ of the spectra were 10nm for benzo(k) fluoranthene, 25 nm for benzo(a) pyrene, and 40 nm for pyrene. The peaks of the spectra were at 407, 404, and 373 nm for the three chemicals, respectively. Benzo(k) fluoranthene, benzo(a) pyrene, and pyrene in the urine samples from smokers were identified by high pressure liquid chromatography combined with the synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.展开更多

The B（CO）4＋ ions are characterized to be very weakly bound complexes involving a B（CO）3＋ core ion, which is predicted to have a planar D3h structure with the central boron retaining the most favorable 8-electron configuration. The B2（C0）4＋ cation is determined to have a planar D2h structure involving a B-B one and half bond. The analysis of the B-CO interactions with the EDA- NOCV method indicates that the OC→B cr donation is stronger than the B-＋CO π back donation in both ions.展开更多

After being excited to the S2 state by 400 nm, trans-4-AAB decays from the S2 state to the hot S1 state by internal conversion with time constant of -70 fs. The photoisomerization through inversion mechanism on the S1 potential energy surface and the internal conversion from the S1 state to the hot So state are observed, respectively. The average timescale of these two decay pathways is -0.7 ps. And the vibrational cooling of the hot So state of cis- and trans-4- AAB occur with time constants of -4 and N13 ps, respectively. Furthermore, the ultrafast intersystem crossing process are also observed. The timescale of intersystem crossing from the S2 state to the T4 state is about 480 ps while from the S1 state to the T2 state is -180 ps.展开更多

Two different cases were studied with focus laid on the generation of CN radicals. In one case Ar gas passed through a bubbler with saturated methanol steam but without addition of N2 （Ar/CH3OH plasma）. In the other case N2 passed through the bubbler with saturated methanol steam （Ar/N2/CH3OH plasma）. The optical emission lines of CN radicals have been observed in these two cases of plasma discharges. The addition of N2 can significantly increase the optical emission intensity of CN bands.展开更多

The vibrational spectra the basis of the Fourier transform （FT）- Raman, FT-infrared measurements, the density-functional theory computations and the normal mode analysis. The A-, B-, and C-bands resonance Raman spectra in cyclohex- ane, acetonitrile, and methanol solvents were, respectively, obtained at 273.9, 252.7, 245.9, 228.7, 223.1, and 208.8 nm excitation wavelengths to probe the corresponding structural dynamics of PhN3. The results indicated that the structural dynamics in the S2 （A＇）, S3（A＇）, and S6（A＇） states were significantly different. The crossing points of the potential energy surfaces, S2S1（1） and S2S1（2）, were predicted to play a key role in the low-lying excited state decay dynamics, in accordance with Kasha＇s rule, and NT=N8 dissociation. Two decay channels initiated from the Franck-Condon region of the S2（A＇） state were predicted： the radiative S2,min→S0 radiative decay and the S2→S1 internal conversion through the crossing points S2S1 （1）/S2S1（2）.展开更多

It is shown that Yb2-xAlxMo3012 solid solutions crystallize in a single monoclinic phase for 1.7 〈 x 〈 2.0 and in a single orthorhombic phase for 0.0 〈 x 〈 0,4, and exhibit the characteristics of both monoclinic and orthorhombic structures outside these compositional ranges. The monoclinic to orthorhonlbic phase transition temperature of A12Mo3012 can be reduced by partial substitution of A13＋ by Yb3＋, and the Yb2-zAlxMo3012 （0.0 〈 x 〈 2.0） materials are hydrated at room temperature and contain two kinds of water species. One of these interacts strongly with and hinders the motions of the polyhedra, while the other does not. The partial substitution of A13＋ for Yb3＋ in Yb2Mo3012 decreases its hygroscopicity, and the linear thermal expansion coefficients after complete removal of water species are measured to be -9.1 x 10-6/K, -5.5 x 10-6/K, 5.74 x 10-6/K, and 9.5 x 10 6/K for Ybl.sAlo.2（MoO4）3, Yb1.6Alo.4（MoO4）3, Ybo.4All.6（Mo04）3, and Ybo.2Al1.8（MoO4）3, respectively.展开更多

This review presents a spatially-resolved analysis by electron energy-loss spectroscopy of the GB chemical structures in a series of SrTiO3 bicrystals and a ceramic, using analytical electron microscopy of the pre-Cs-correction era. It has identified and separated a transient layer at the model Σ5 grain-boundaries（GBs） with characteristic chemical bonding, extending the continuum interfacial approach to redefine the GB chemical structure. This GB layer has evolved under segregation of iron dopant, starting from subtle changes in local bonds until a clear transition into a distinctive GB chemistry with substantially increased titanium concentration confined within the GB layer in 3-unit cells, heavily strained, and with less strontium. Similar segregated GB layer turns into a titania-based amorphous film in SrTiO3 ceramic, hence reaching a more stable chemical structure in equilibrium with the intergranular Ti2O3 glass also. Space charge was not found by acceptor doping in both the strained Σ5 and amorphous GBs in SrTiO3 owing to the native transient nature of the GB layer that facilitates the transitions induced by Fe segregation into novel chemical structures subject to local and global equilibria. These GB transitions may add a new dimension into the structure–property relationship of the electronic materials.展开更多

In the case of known information of its structure and spectra, the theory applied is based on the assumption that the coupling interaction between two chromophores is fairly weak. The theory correctly predicts the experimentlly observed rate for excitation energy transfer in allophycocyanin monomer. Based on the results, the energy transfer mechanism can be described as Frster and these processes cannot take place from the high vibrational levels of donor to acceptor.展开更多

文摘Ar/CH3OH and Ar/N2/CH3OH plasma jets were generated at atmospheric pressure by dual-frequency excitations. Two different cases were studied with focus laid on the generation of CN radicals. In one case Ar gas passed through a bubbler with saturated methanol steam but without addition of N2 （Ar/CH3OH plasma）. In the other case N2 passed through the bubbler with saturated methanol steam （Ar/N2/CH3OH plasma）. The optical emission lines of CN radicals have been observed in these two cases of plasma discharges. The addition of N2 can significantly increase the optical emission intensity of CN bands.
