Time-averaged complex conductance is formulated by using the nonequilibrium Green function （NGF） method. We find that the electron-photon interaction together with the quantum interference of electron wave function can lead to anti-resonance in the conductance, which is then useful for tuning coherence and phases of electrons. Meanwhile, we study the temperature dependence of the conductance. Interestingly, a peak-structure can be developed at the Fano resonance levels with increasing temperatures.展开更多

Molecular modeling studies showed that vanadium with low Oxnum could affect the chemical conversion of large-size hydrocarbon molecules. However, the vanadium deposited on equilibrium catalyst bad high Oxnum because of the oxidation reaction taking place in the regenerator, so an activation method to reduce vanadium Oxnum named ＂selective activation＂ was introduced. It was proved by means of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance （EPR） and Temperature-Programmed Reduction （TPR） methods that the vanadium Oxnum was decreased, when the catalyst was activated. The molecular modeling studies are consistent well with the lab evaluation results. The light olefins selectivity of activated equilibrium catalysts was better than that achieved by the inactivated catalysts. Similar results were observed with the lab vanadium-contaminated catalyst. The light olefins selectivity of the catalyst was optimized when the vanadium Oxnum was close to 2 （VO）.展开更多

Changes in oxygen-containing groups were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, and H20 adsorption mechanism on the surface of lignite pyrolysis was inferred. Two major changes in the pore structure of lignite char were observed as temperature increased in 105-200 ℃ and 500-700 ℃. Pyrolysis temperature is a significant factor in removing carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl from lignite. Variation of ether bond content can be divided into three stages; the content initially increased, then decreased, and finally increased. The equilibrium adsorption ratio, content of oxygen-containing groups, and variation of pore volume below 700° were closely correlated with each other. The amount of adsorbed water on char pyrolyzed at 700 ℃ increased. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the lignite decreased, and the adsorption state changed.展开更多

The method uses the relative bridging oxygen number (RBO) based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 29Si NMR techniques have been used to study phase transitions and silicate polymerization of coal gangue calcined at different temperatures or co-calcined. It has been found that phase transition of clay minerals causes silicate polymerization to change with temperature. In this study, cementing activity and RBO were determined to be inversely related. Generally, activated coal gangue with lower RBO had better cementitious activity.展开更多

Also, we demonstrated its temperature response was relatively insensitive （21.51 pm/~C）.展开更多

Two specific examples have been considered: one is the example of bistable system, and the other is the example of metastable system. The explicit expressions of the mean-first passage time (MFPT) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for both specific examples are obtained, respectively. Based on the numerical computations, we compare the quantum case with its classical counterpart. Our research results show that: (i) the quantum effect accelerates the escape of the Brownian particle in comparison with the classical result and (ii) the quantum effect enhances the SR in the SNR as a function of β for a bistable system (i.e., β = 1/kBT, kB is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature), while for a metastable system, the β amplifies the quantum effects, and the quantum effect weakens the SNR as a function of β.展开更多
