It has been generally observed that the deposits in such industrial systems consist mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which has inverse solubility characteristics. This investigation focused on the mechanism to control deposition and the morphology of crystalline deposits. A series of experiments were carried out at different surface and bulk temperatures, fluid velocities and salt ion concentrations. It is shown that the deposition rate is controlled by different mechanism in the range of experimental parameters, depending on salt ion concentration. At higher ion concentration, the fouling rate increases linearly with surface temperature and the effect of flow velocity on deposition rate is quite strong, suggesting that mass diffusion controls the fouling process. On the contrary, at lower ion concentration, the fouling rate increases exponentially with surface temperature and is independent of the velocity, illustrating that surface reaction controls the fouling process. By analysis of the morphology of scale, two types of crystal (calcite and aragonite) are formed. The lower the temperature and ion concentration, the longer the induction period and the higher the percentage of calcite nreciDitated.展开更多

For separable and entangled states of the SCQs, the evolutions are studied under various photon numbers of cavity field. The results show that the amplitude and period of the bipartite entanglement square concurrences can be controlled by the choice of initial states of SCQs and photon number of cavity field, respectively. This simple model of a quantum register allows us to understand the dynamic process of the quantum storage of information carried by charge qubit.展开更多

When the superlattice is biased at the negative differential velocity region, current self-oscillation is observed with proper doping concentration. The current oscillation mode and oscillation frequency can be affected by the dc voltage bias, doping density, and magnetic field. When an ac electric field with fixed amplitude and frequency is also applied to the system, different nonlinear properties show up in the external circuit with the change of dc voltage bias. We carefully study these nonlinear properties with different chaos-detecting methods.展开更多

However, this has not been examined in detail with respect to microbial activity and dissolved organic matter in soils with different texture. This study evaluated the effect of salinity and sodicity on respiration and dissolved organic matter dynamics in salt-affected soils with different texture. Four non-saline and non-sodic soils differing in texture (S-4, S-13, S-24 and S-40 with 4%, 13%, 24~ and 40~~ clay, respectively) were leached using combinations of 1 mol L-1 NaC1 and 1 mol L-1 CaC12 stock solutions, resulting in EC (1:5 soil:water ratio) between 0.4 and 5.0 dS m-1 with two levels of sodicity (sodium absorption ratio (SAR) 〈 3 (non-sodic) and 20 (sodic), 1:5 soil:water ratio). Adjusting the water content to levels optimal for microbial activity~ which differed among the soils, resulted in four ranges of OP in all the soils: from -0.06 to -0.24 (controls, without salt added), -0.55 to -0.92, -1.25 to -1.62 and -2.77 to -3.00 Mpa. Finely ground mature wheat straw (20 g kg-1) was added to stimulate microbial activity. At a given EC, cumulative soil respiration was lower in the lighter-textured soils (S-4 and S-13) than in the heavier-textured soils (S-24 and S-40). Cumulative soil respiration decreased with decreasing OP to a similar extent in all the soils, with a greater decrease on Day 40 than on Day 10. Cumulative soil respiration was greater at SAR ---- 20 than at SAR 〈 3 only at the OP levels between -0.62 and -1.62 MPa on Day 40. In all the soils and at both sampling times, concentrations of dissolved organic C and N were higher at the lowest OP levels (from -2.74 to -3.0 MPa) than in the controls (from -0.06 to -0.24 MPa). Thus, OP is a better parameter than EC to evaluate the effect of salinity on dissolved organic matter and microbial activity in different textured soils.展开更多

We find that this relation is reasonable and it can inherit the main properties of the noncommutative space.Based on this relation, we derive the modified Klein–Gordon equation and Dirac equation. We investigate the scalar field and φ4model and then quantum electrodynamics in our theory, and derive the corresponding Feynman rules. These results may be considered as reasonable approximations to those of noncommutative quantum field theory. Our theory also shows a connection between the space with a minimal length and the noncommutative space.展开更多

Numerical results show the existence of one low-frequency branch due to the mass difference between the electrons and holes in addition to one high-frequency branch due to charge-separation effects.展开更多

Several theoretical models have been proposed to investigate its effect on ET rates. In this paper,we overview a theoretical method for the calculations of the non-Condon ET rate constants proposed by us,and its applications to organic semiconductors. First,full quantum expressions of the non-Condon ET rates are presented with the electronic couplings having exponential,Gaussian and linear dependences in terms of the nuclear coordinates,respectively. The proposed formulas have closed forms in time domain and they thus can be easily applied in multi-mode systems. Then,the driving force dependences of the ET rates involving the non-Condon effect are calculated with the use of full quantum mechanical formulas. It is found that these dependences show very different prop-erties from the Marcus one. As an example of applications,the approaches are used to investigate the non-Condon effect on the mobility of the organic semiconductor dithiophene-tetrathiafulvalene (DT-TTF). The results manifest that the non-Condon ef-fect enhances ET rates compared with the Condon approximation,and static fluctuations of electronic coupling dominate the ET rate in the DT-TTF,which has been confirmed by the molecular dynamics simulation.展开更多

文摘The non-Condon effect plays an important role in the process of electron transfer (ET). Several theoretical models have been proposed to investigate its effect on ET rates. In this paper,we overview a theoretical method for the calculations of the non-Condon ET rate constants proposed by us,and its applications to organic semiconductors. First,full quantum expressions of the non-Condon ET rates are presented with the electronic couplings having exponential,Gaussian and linear dependences in terms of the nuclear coordinates,respectively. The proposed formulas have closed forms in time domain and they thus can be easily applied in multi-mode systems. Then,the driving force dependences of the ET rates involving the non-Condon effect are calculated with the use of full quantum mechanical formulas. It is found that these dependences show very different prop-erties from the Marcus one. As an example of applications,the approaches are used to investigate the non-Condon effect on the mobility of the organic semiconductor dithiophene-tetrathiafulvalene (DT-TTF). The results manifest that the non-Condon ef-fect enhances ET rates compared with the Condon approximation,and static fluctuations of electronic coupling dominate the ET rate in the DT-TTF,which has been confirmed by the molecular dynamics simulation.
