Effects of Salt Stress on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth in Raphanus sativus L.

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the effects of salt stress on seed germination and seedling growth in radish（Raphanus sativus L.）.[Method] First,effects of soaking seeds with clear water and different concentrations of saline solution were compared; then,different concentrations of salt solution （0.2％-1.0％） was used to treat radish during the whole germination period.[Result] soaking seeds with clear water can improve the germination indicators of radish seeds exposed to high salt stress; low salt concentration（0.2％,0.4％） had little effect on the growth indicators of radish seedlings,and 0.2％ salt concentration can even promote the growth of radish seedlings,however,the high salinity had a bad inhibition on seedling growth,the higher the salt concentration,the stronger the inhibition.[Conclusion] According to the comprehensive comparison,the order of the six varieties in salt-tolerance was as follows：Xinxiayuanbai＞W1029,Xiayuanbai ＞ Nanyangbailizhi,Chunyidianhong＞ Sijihong 3.

Researted FOM for Multiple Shifted Linear Systems

The seed method is used for solving multiple linear systems A (i)x (i) =b (i) for 1≤i≤s, where the coefficient matrix A (i) and the right-hand side b (i) are different in general. It is known that the CG method is an effective method for symmetric coefficient matrices A (i). In this paper, the FOM method is employed to solve multiple linear sy stems when coefficient matrices are non-symmetric matrices. One of the systems is selected as the seed system which generates a Krylov subspace, then the resi duals of other systems are projected onto the generated Krylov subspace to get t he approximate solutions for the unsolved ones. The whole process is repeated u ntil all the systems are solved.

KLN晶体生长与蓝光SHG特性

In this paper,ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bronze type potassium lithium niobate(KLN)crystal with a size of 20mm×8mm×43mm was grown from a melt with a composition of 32mol% K 2CO 3,24mol% Li 2CO 3 and 44mol% Nb 2O 5 by the top seeded solution growth (TSSG)method.The KLN crystal as grown along [110]axis has a perfect crystal melt interface dominated by {110} and {210} facets.Lattice constants were measured by X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis performed on {001}and {110}natural faces of single crystal samples.The anisotropic thermal expansion behavior of the crystal was also studied along [001] and [110] axes,respectively by using a Shimadzu TMA 50 thermomechnical analyzer.For the purpose of crystal poling,the dependence of crystal capacitance vs.temperature in both heating and cooling cycles was measured and the ferroelectric Curie temperature was determined to be 514℃.The crystal was poled at 506℃ with a dc field of about 250 V/cm along the c axis of the sample,for a time corresponding to about 1.5 h/cm.The blue second harmonic generation (SHG)characteristics of the KLN crystal were investigated by using a 3900s Ti∶sapphire CW tunable laser.Blue laser light at wavelength 432nm was obtained by the non critical phase matching (NCPM)SHG at room temperature.Based on the wavelength and temperature tuning curves for the NCPM SHG,the wavelength acceptance and temperature acceptance of this KLN crystal were measured.The crystal property homogeneity along the <110>growth axis was also studied by measuring the room temperature NCPM wavelength at different growth positions.

Competitive intermetallics formation in Pd-Zn-Cd system via seeded growth from ultra-thin Pd nanosheets for electrocatalytic ethanol oxidation reaction

Pd-based catalysts exhibit higher catalytic activity and durability in many electrochemical reactions.However,the electrochemical performance can be further enhanced by fine-tune of the alloy composition.Although binary alloys have been fully studied,the multicomponent alloys are far beyond understanding,which leaves cocktail effect a compromised explanation for the high-entropy alloy.Herein Pd nanosheet-seeded growth was used to synthesize a Pd-Zn-Cd ternary alloy by accurately controlling the Pd-Zn-Cd molar ratio through adjusting the amount of introduced Cd precursor.Through analysis of the crystal phase structure of PdCdZnx and PdZn_(x)Cd_(1-x),the competitive relationship of Zn and Cd in the alloying process with Pd was unveiled:Pd1Cd1 intermetallics(IMC)is thermodynamically favored over Pd_(1)Zn_(1)IMC in the ternary system.However,the increased structure stability of PdCd over PdZn does not bring about increased durability in the catalytic ethanol oxidation reaction.The morphology selection of Pd seeds is also crucial for the study,as Pd cubes,Pd tetrahedrons,and Pd octahedrons do not form PdZn in the same protocol.The successful alloying through the seeded growth depends on the maximum diffusion depth of foreign atoms into the seed.

Effect of seed orientations on crystallographic texture control in faceted Al2O3/YAG eutectic ceramic during directional solidification

Crystallographic texture control is a major challenge in directionally solidified multiphase eutectic ceramics with complex faceted growth characteristics.In this study,the Czochralski(CZ)technique is proposed to prepare eutectic single crystal ceramic with large size(30 mm×125 mm).A highly oriented and unique texture of Al_(2)O_(3)/Y_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)(YAG)eutectic ceramic is formed via the 112¯0Al_(2)O_(3) single crystal seed induction based on crystallographic orientation tailoring.The orientations of Al_(2)O_(3)/YAG eutectic are more strictly constrained by single crystal seed induction on the basis of the minimum interface energy principle,resulting in a defined single orientation relationship along the solidification direction.In particular,the single crystallographic orientation can be obtained in a short competitive solidification distance under the influence of epitaxial solidification from single crystal seed.Therefore,it has been confirmed that the orientations of 112¯0Al_(2)O_(3) and 111YAG are preferentially stabilized with the minimum under-cooling during directional solidification.Crystallographic orientation disturbances and instabilities due to polycrystalline crystal seed are avoided.Finally,the successful texture control inducted by 112¯0Al_(2)O_(3) single crystal seed can provide a promising orientation design pathway for faced oxide eutectic solidification.

Engineering miniature gold nanorods with tailorable plasmonic wavelength in NIR region via ternary surfactants mediated growth

Plasmonic nanoparticles are endowed profound capability for sensing,biomedicine,and cancer therapy.However,the inaccessibly adjustable wavelength in near infrared(NIR)region window and size limit for the particles penetration in tumor strongly hinder their developments.Miniature gold nanorods(mini-Au NRs)with diameter less than 12 nm can effectively address this challenge due to the tiny size and tailorable NIR absorption.Herein,we adopt ternary surfactants(hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB),sodium oleate(NaOL),and sodium salicylate(NaSal))mediated growth strategy to precisely synthesize miniature Au NRs under micelle space-confinement.Importantly,the selectively dense accumulation of ternary surfactants can efficiently improve the micellar stacking parameters(p)and lower micellar free energy(F),further tends to achieve the formation of Au NRs with tiny diameter and high purity.Compared with that of conventional methods,the purity of mini-Au NRs up to 100%can be dramatically improved via varying the relative concentration of ternary surfactants.The diameter of Au NRs can be dynamically controlled to 6,8,and 11 nm through regulating the concentration of silver nitrate and the mole ratio of ternary surfactants.Such ternary surfactants system is favorable for the aging of tiny Au NRs,and further enables the aspect ratio-tunable in the region from 2.70 to 7.32,as well as tailorable plasmonic wavelength in wide NIR window from 700 to 1,147 nm.Therefore,our findings shed a light on the precise preparation of small sized plasmonic nanoparticles and pave the way to applications in biomedicine,imaging,and cancer therapy.
