High order crystalline one phase mixtures (high order: more that binary) studied by TL (thermoluminiscence technique) proved having persistent peaks along the time after the radiation to which they are exposed. In general in alkali halide crystals the traps associated with highest recorded temperature peaks in the TL due to radiation damage have greater permanence in time too. These features are useful for dosimetric applications. In this work, temperature thermoluminescence glow peaks of ternary and quaternary mixed alkali halide crystals have been studied. The study has been focused on their high temperature glow peaks after being subjected to thermal treatments at 373, 573, and 673 K. The glow peaks of high temperature were isolated and studied 24 h and 48 h after irradiation. The parameters of the recombination processes associated to these peaks were obtained using a glow peak shape method. Orders of kinetics were higher than 1.0 and the activation energy greater than 1.2 eV. The results suggest that such materials have a high potential as dosimeter and energy storage materials.展开更多

The complicated boundary-value problem caused by inclusion shapes is circumvented by introducing a transformation electric field into the crystal composites regions, and the effective anisotropic dielectric responses are formulated in terms of the transformation field. Furthermore, the numerical results show that the effective anisotropie dielectric responses of crystal composites periodically vary as a function of the rotating angle between the principal dielectric axes of inclusion and matrix crystal materials. It is found that at larger inclusion volume fraction the inclusion shapes induce profound effect on the effective anisotropic dielectric responses.展开更多

The influence of BT addition on the crystal structure, phase transition and dielectric properties was investigated. The crystal structure and ferroelectric phase transition were studied by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and dielectric measurements. The complete solid solution of BKT-BT was observed for all compositions. In XRD results, all compositions showed a single phase perovskite structure with tetragonal symmetry at room temperature. With increasing BT content, the separation between diffraction peaks corresponded to increasing tetragonality. The phase transition temperature of ferroelectric tetragonal-paraelectric cubic (Tc) decreased with increasing BT content. As the amount of BT concentration increased, the ceramic became denser, and almost no porosity was finally obtained.展开更多

Extremely high vacuum (-0.2 nPa) in the ionization region is obtained by using multiple ultrahigh vacuum pumps. Compared with similar instruments built previously by others~ the H2, CH4 background in the ionization region can be reduced by about two orders of magnitude, and other residual gases in the ionization region can be reduced by about an order of magnitude. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio for the temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and time of flight (TOF) spectra is substantially enhanced, making experimental studies of pho- tocatalytic processes on surfaces much easier. In this work, we describe the new apparatus in detail and present some preliminary studies on the photo-induced oxygen vacancy defects on TiO2(110) at 266 nm by using the TPD and TOF methods. Preliminary results suggest that the apparatus is a powerful tool for studying kinetics and mechanism of photochemical processes.展开更多

This paper introduces a newly developed planar MOSFET--UniFETTM Ⅱ MOSFET--with highly improved body diode characteristics, and presents its performance and effectiveness. UniFET II MOSFET is divided into normal FET(field effect transistor), FRFET (fast recovery field effect transistor), and Ultra FRFET MOSFETs according to the concentration of lifetime control, and their reverse recovery times are about 70%, 25%, and 15% of that of a conventional MOSFET, respectively. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the new MOSFET, an experiment using a 150 W HID (high intensity discharge) lamp ballast that includes a mixed frequency inverter was implemented. As a result, it was verified that two UniFET Ⅱ MOSFETs can replace two conventional MOSFEs and four additional FRDs (fast recovery diodes) without MOSFET failure.展开更多

The plasmids expressed the cyt1Aa gene along with either p19 or orf1-orf2, or each of them coordinatively with p20 in the acrystalliferous strain of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis 4Q7. No effect on the expression of Cyt1Aa protein was found when P19 or Orf1-Orf2 co-expressed with Cyt1Aa. However, when including p20 gene, the constructs with p19 or orf1-orf2 gene produced lower yield of Cyt1Aa proteins than without p19 or orf1-orf2 gene. Electron microscopy observation and bioassay showed that P19 and Orf1-Orf2 have no influence on the crystal size and toxicity of Cyt1Aa protein. It is presumed that P19 and Orf1-Orf2 might have negative effects on Cyt1Aa synthesis in B. thuringiensis.展开更多

Octahedral Pd nanocrystals, enclosed by {111} facets, should be the ideal geometrical shape for Heck coupling reactions; however, it is challenging to synthesize 5 nm Pd octahedrons with a relatively uniform size distribution using existing capping-agent techniques. Here, we used palladium as a model system to investigate how the kinetics of atomic addition could be precisely controlled using a syringe pump. As a result, our method produced Pd octahedrons as small as 5 nm, which increased the catalytic efficiency of Heck coupling reactions while reducing the weight of catalyst used.展开更多

The phase transition temperature of ferroelectric tetragonal-paraelectric cubic (Tc) decreased with increasing BT content. As the amount of BT concentration increased, the ceramic became denser, and almost no porosity was finally obtained.

文摘The cluster compound [Mo4S4 (μ-O2CC6H5)2(dtp)4] (dtp = S2P (OEt)2)was obtained by the ligand substitution reaction of tetranuclear molybdenum cluster [Mo4S4(μ-dtp)2(dtp)4] in the mixed solvent of acetone, ethanol and water in the presence of C6H5CO2Na. It is monoclinic and crystallizesin space group C2/c, Mr =1495. 09, a=12. 175 (5) , b=22. 01 (1) , c=20.875(9) ,β=99. 04(4)°; V=5570(5) ; Z=4; Dc= 1. 78g/cm3;μ(MoKα) = 14. 52 cm-1; F(000) =2984. Final R factor is 0. 066. The result reveals that the [Mo4S4] cluster core and t-(dtp)1ligands are retained and onlyμ-bridged (dtp)1- ligands are substituted by (C6H5CO2)1in the substitution reaction, thus producing the title cluster compound,the structure of which contains two species of bidentate ligand.
文摘A series of plasmids were constructed to examine the effects of p19 and orf1-orf2 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis on Cyt1Aa synthesis and inclusion formation. The plasmids expressed the cyt1Aa gene along with either p19 or orf1-orf2, or each of them coordinatively with p20 in the acrystalliferous strain of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis 4Q7. No effect on the expression of Cyt1Aa protein was found when P19 or Orf1-Orf2 co-expressed with Cyt1Aa. However, when including p20 gene, the constructs with p19 or orf1-orf2 gene produced lower yield of Cyt1Aa proteins than without p19 or orf1-orf2 gene. Electron microscopy observation and bioassay showed that P19 and Orf1-Orf2 have no influence on the crystal size and toxicity of Cyt1Aa protein. It is presumed that P19 and Orf1-Orf2 might have negative effects on Cyt1Aa synthesis in B. thuringiensis.

文摘Hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks(H-MOFs)with micro-,meso-and macropores have emerged as a popular class of crystalline porous materials that have attracted extensive interests,and they have been studied in diverse applications,especially in heterogeneous catalysis.The hierarchical structures enable sufficient diffusion and accessibility to the active sites of the molecules and permit the encapsulation of catalytic guest molecules to exploit more possibilities with enhanced catalytic performance.In this review,we have summarized the recent representative developments of H-MOFs in the field of heterogeneous catalysis,which includes oxidation reaction,hydrogenation reaction,and condensation reaction.Emphasis is placed on the multiple functions of hierarchical structures,and the catalytic activity,selectivity,stability,recyclability,etc.of the industrial utility of H-MOFs.Finally,the prospects and challenges of H-MOFs in heterogeneous catalysis and the remaining issues in this field are presented.

文摘Heterogeneous catalysis occurs through a process of interfacial reactions; therefore, both surface facet and size control can increase catalytic efficiency. Octahedral Pd nanocrystals, enclosed by {111} facets, should be the ideal geometrical shape for Heck coupling reactions; however, it is challenging to synthesize 5 nm Pd octahedrons with a relatively uniform size distribution using existing capping-agent techniques. Here, we used palladium as a model system to investigate how the kinetics of atomic addition could be precisely controlled using a syringe pump. As a result, our method produced Pd octahedrons as small as 5 nm, which increased the catalytic efficiency of Heck coupling reactions while reducing the weight of catalyst used.

文摘Taking advantage of the nitrogen(N)-participation and large surface area of N-doped carbon nanocages(NCNCs),the Co Ox nanocrystals are conveniently immobilized onto the NCNCs with high dispersion.The Co Ox/NCNCs hybrid exists in the mixed valence with predominant Co O over Co3O4 and demonstrates superb oxygen reduction reaction activity and stability remaining^94%current density even after operation over 100 h.These results suggest a promising strategy to develop advanced electrocatalysts with the novel NCNCs or even beyond.

文摘A series of alkyl 4-dialkylaminophenyl ketones were prepared and reduced asymmetrically by borane under the chiral oxazaborolidine catalysis. The results indicate that the ketones show a more obvious subsfituent effect on the enanfioselectivity than the corresponding 4-alkyl/alkoxy/alkylthiophenyl ketones in the asymmetric reduction because of the existence of a strong coordinate nitrogen atom with the boron atom in the catalyst and borane.
