One method is derived from the histogram equalization technique and automatically determines the color spectra of geophysical maps. Colors can be properly distributed and visual effects and resolution can be enhanced by the method. The other method is based on the modified Radon transform and gradient calculation and is used to detect and enhance linear features in gravity and magnetic images. The method facilites the detection of line segments in the transform domain. Tests with synthetic images and real data show the methods to be effective in feature enhancement.展开更多

The program functions by grouping spectral lines in term of the second difference principle. and graphing spectral intensity versus frequency in a bar graph of the selected groups, distinguished by color and/or line-type. This allows for easy detection of regular patterns buried in the observed spectrum. Furthermore, it includes a Loomis-Wood view for assisting in spectral assignments. As an example, the program was applied in assigning the molecular spectrum of the production in the discharge of PCl3 buffered by helium gas, which may belong to several species. The results suggest that the program is highly efficient and quite useful in the assignment and the analysis of molecular spectra, especially those of symmetric top, slightly asymmetric top and linear molecules. The accuracy and efficiency of this program will likely ensure its wide application in the processing of molecular spectra.展开更多

Graphene oxide (GO) and chloroplatinic acid were reduced to RGO and Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) simultaneously, and Pt/RGO composite was deposited on the fluorine doped SnO2 glass during the electrochemical reduction. The Pt/RGO composite was characterized by field emission-scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which confirmed the reduction of GO and chloroplatinic acid and the formation of Pt/RGO composite. In comparison with Pt NPs and RGO electrodes obtained by the same method, results of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spec- troscopy measurements showed that the composite electrode had higher catalytic activity and charge transfer rate. In addition, the composite electrode had proved to have better performance in DSSCs than the Pt NPs electrode, which showed the poten- tial application in energy conversion.展开更多

X-ray diffi'action (XRD) and scanning elec- tron microscopy (SEM) results indicate that the as-synthesized samples are composed of face-centered cubic structure, and the average diameter is about 60-70 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding fast Fourier transformation (FFT) results show that Ag nanowires have a preferred single-crystal structure. Ultravio- let-visible (UV-vis) spectrum of Ag nanowire arrays exhibits UV emission band at 383 nm which can be attributed to the transverse dipole resonance ofAg nanowire arrays. A good surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum is observed by excitation with a 514.5 nm laser, and the intensity of the SERS peak is about 23 times higher than that of the normal Raman peak measured from an empty AAO template. The high enhancement factor suggests that this method can be used to fabricate SERS sensor with high efficiency.展开更多

However the reported tensile strengths of the as-prepared fibers are far below that of an individual CNT. It is therefore still a challenge to improve their mechanical strengths. Here we report that the tensile strengths and Young's moduli can be further improved to 2.2 GPa and 200 GPa respectively, if we first treat the SACNT array with oxygen plasma by using a reactive ion etching (RIE) facility, then dry spin yarns from it and make composite fibers with polyvinyl alcohol. According to the experimental results obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the improvement is attributed to the oxygen RIE process, as it can create functional groups on the outer walls of CNTs and thus improve the interaction between the CNTs and the polymer molecules.展开更多
