EVALUATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING OF TWO DIMENSIONAL CONDUCTING OBJECTS--TE CASE

A hybrid technique is developed for the evaluation of two dimensional electromagnetic scattering from electrically large conducting bodies with cracks on their surfaces (TE case). The edge based finite element method (FEM) is employed to compute the scattering from the cracks. Physical optics (PO) and physical theory of diffraction (PTD) are utilized to evaluate the scattering from the large bodies with the cracks filled with perfect conductors. These two methods are combined by an efficient coupling scheme. Some of numerical results are presented. It is shown that the hybrid technique has some advantages over other methods in regard to saving computer memory units and CPU time.

Structure,morphology and opto-magnetic properties of Bi_2MoO_6 nano-photocatalyst synthesized by sol-gel method

Bismuth molybdate （Bi2MoO6） nano-particles （NPs） were synthesized using bismuth nitrate, ammonium molybdate, citric acid and ethyl cellulose by a simple sol-gel method. The structure, morphology, opto-magnetic and photocatalytic properties of the obtained powder were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectra, high resolution scanning electron microscopy （HRSEM）, energy dispersive X-ray （EDX）, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra （DRS）, photoluminescence （PL） spectra and vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM） techniques. The XRD, FT-IR and EDX results indicate that the resultant powder is pure and single phase crystalline Bi2MoO6 with orthorhombic structure. The HRSEM image shows that the morphology of obtained powder consists with well defined nano-particles structure. The VSM results show superparamagnetic behavior of the obtained nano-particles. The photocatalytic activity of Bi2MoO6 nano-particles was performed. The addition of TiO2 catalyst enhances the photocatalytic activity of Bi2MoO6 nano-particles. The catalysts Bi2MoO6, TiO2 and mixed oxide catalyst Bi2MoO6-TiO2 nano-composites （NCs） were tested for the photocatalytic degradation （PCD） of 4-chlorophenol （4-CP）. It is found that the PCD efficiency of Bi2MoO6-TiO2 NCs is higher than that of pure Bi2MoO6 and TiO2 catalysts.

Mg and Ni Incorporated ZnO Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor for Magnetic and Photo-Catalytic Applications

Zinc oxide is recently being used as a magnetic semiconductor with the introduction of mag-netic elements.In this work,we report phase pure synthesis of Mg and Ni co-substituted ZnO to explore its structure,optical,magnetic and photo-catalytic properties.X-ray di raction analysis reveals the hexagonal wurtzite type structure having P63mc space group without any impurity phase.UV-Vis spectrophotometry demonstrates the variation in bandgap with the addition of Mg and Ni content in ZnO matrix.Magnetic measurements exhibit a clear boosted magnetization in Ni and Mg co-doped compositions with its stable value of bandgap corroborating the structural stability and magnetic tuning for its advanced applications in modern-day spintronic devices.Photo-catalytic measurements performed using methyl green degradation demonstrate an enhanced trend of activity in Mg and Ni co-doped compositions.

Structural Description of Polyaromatic Nucleus in Residue

The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy （1H-NMR）, the synchronous fluorescence spectrometry （SFS） and the ruthenium ions catalyzed oxidation （RICO） method were used to determine the chemical structure of polyaromatic nucleus in Oman residue fractions. The results of 1H-NMR analyses showed that the average numbers of aromatic rings in the aromatics, resins and asphaltenes units were 3.2, 5.6 and 8.2, respectively. SFS was used to investigate the distribution of aromatic rings in residue fractions, the main distribution range of aromatic rings in aromatics, resins and asphaltenes were 3 4 rings, 3--5 rings and more than 5 rings, respectively. The aromatic network in residue fractions was oxidized to produce numerous carboxylic acids. The types and content of benzenepolycarboxylic acids, such as phthalic acid, benzenetricarboxylic acids, benzenetetracarboxylic acids, benzenepentacarboxylic acid and benzenehexacarboxylic acid disclosed the condensed types of aromatic nuclei in the core. The biphenyl fraction （BIPH）, the cata-condensed fraction （CATA）, the peri-condensed fraction （PERI） and the condensed index （BCI） were calculated based on the benzenepolycarboxylic acids formed. The results implied that there was less biphenyl type structures in all residue fractions. The aromatics fraction was almost composed of the cata-condensed type system, and the asphaltenes fraction was wholly composed of the peri-condensed type system, while in the resins fraction co-existed the two types, herein the peri-con- densed type was predominant over the cata-condensed type. Based on the analytical results obtained in the study, the components --aromatics, resins and asphaltenes -- were given the likely structural models.

Measurement of Rotatory Optics Element in Tensor Dielectric Matrix for Rotatory Optical Fiber

The rotatory optics element in the tensor dielectric coefficient matrix is an important para-(meter) for analyzing and calculating a rotatory optical fiber by electromagnetic theory. But the mea-(surement) of rotatory optics element is difficult for the rotatory optical fiber. A simple principle and method for measuring rotatory optics element are put forward in this paper. Firstly by using electromagnetic theory it was demonstrated that the rotatory optics element has a simple linear relation with the rotatory angle, and then the rotatory optics element has a simple linear relation with the magnetic field strength (or bias current in the helix coil) . Secondly a measurement system for the rotatory optics element in the rotatory optical fiber was designed. Using the measurement system the rotatory element can be obtained by measuring the bias current simply.

LIGHT MODULATION COMBINING POCKELS EFFECT WITH FARADAY EFFECT AND ITS FUNCTIONS

With brief statements of the linear electro-optical modulation and magnetooptical modulation, using the method of resultant of optical amplitude vectors and the methed of Jones matrix, formulas for intensity of transmitted light through the optical analyzer of various composition of electro-optical effect with magneto-optical effect are derived. The results show that the output beam from the analyzer carries information on current (or magnetic field), voltage (or electric field), active power and apparent power. When the light beam transmitted through the analyzer are transformed into electric signals, three kinds of information are included: the DC term corresponding to an active power, the term with frequency ω(50 Hz) corresponding to current or voltage, and the term with frequency 2ω(100 Hz) corresponding to an apparnt power.So, we can use the electric filter circuit to pick out the DC component for measuring active power; to pick out the component with frequency ω(50 Hz) for measuring current or voltage; and to pick out the component with frequency 2ω(100 Hz) for measuring apparent power. The paper discusses what quantities are measured when the analyzer is set on certain definite values, and ponts out the optimum selection for various measurements.

DETERMINATION OF EQUILIBRIUM MOISTURE OF SOME CHINESE AND AUSTRALIAN COALS BY PULSE PROTON NMR

The varying temperature pulse proton NMR method was adopted to determine the e-quilibrium moisture content of several Chinese and Australian coals. The pulse proton NMR spec-trometry is sensible to the hydrogen at different physical state which occurs for water when temperature changes through 273 K. The equilibrium water,with some interactions to the coal surface, will not transform from one phase to another while the free water does. The measured results are reasonable comparing to the conventional gravimetric method.

Curing Mechanism of Condensed Polynuclear Aromatic Resin and Thermal Stability of Cured Resin

In order to improve the thermal stability of condensed polynuclear aromatic(COPNA) resin synthesized from vacuum residue, 1,4-benzenedimethanol was added to cure COPNA resin. The curing mechanism was investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, solid carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Microstructures of the uncured and the cured COPNA resins were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. The thermal stability of COPNA resins before and after curing was tested by thermogravimetric analysis. The element composition of the cured COPNA resin heated at different temperatures was analyzed by an element analyzer. The results showed that the uncured COPNA resin reacted with the cross-linking agent during the curing process, and the curing mechanism was confirmed to be the electrophilic substitution reaction. Compared with the uncured COPNA resin, the cured COPNA resin had a smooth surface, well-ordered and streamlined sheet structure with more crystalline solids, better molecular arrangement and orientation. The weight loss process of the uncured and cured COPNA resins was divided into three stages. Carbon residue of the cured COPNA resin was 41.65% at 600 ℃, which was much higher than 25.02% of the uncured COPNA resin, which indicated that the cured COPNA resin had higher thermal stability.

MR study of acupoint and nonacupoint on the impacts of brain functional connectivity

Objective To observe the impacts of acupoint and nonacupoint on brain functional connectivity so as to explore the basis of function specificity of acupoint. Methods Twenty-one healthy volunteers were selected and randomized into acupoint group （12 cases） and nonacupoint group （9 cases）. Acupuncture was applied to bilateral Zusanli （足三里 ST 36） and the site 3 to 4 mm lateral to Zusanli （足三里 ST 36） respectively on the subjects. Rotation needling technique was adopted. MRI was conducted before and 25 min after acupuncture respectively. Bilateral cingular gyrus was taken as seed point to analyze the situations of brain function connectivity in acupoint group and nonacupoint group. Results Brain functional connectivity presented extensively in either acupoint group or nonacupoint group. In comparison between acupoint group and nonacupoint group, in acupoint group, enhanced functional connectivity displayed in bilateral tonsillar, right cerebellar dentate nuclei, bilateral cerebellar uvula, left cerebellar declive, right cerebellar nodule, left inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral middle temporal gyrus, bilateral paracentral Iobule, left cingular gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right anterior cingular gyrus and other regions, as well as posterior cingular gyrus. But brain connectivity in bilateral medial frontal gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus, right cingular gyrus was weakened as compared with nonacupoint group. Conclusion The brain regions with functional connectivity induced are mostly same between acupoint and nonacupoint. But, the strength of brain functional connectivity in acupoint group is higher in overall than that in nonacupoint group.

Distributed parametric modeling and simulation of light polarization states using magneto-optical sensing based on the Faraday effect

To solve the problems encountered in practical processes of magneto-optical sensing, the infinitesimal distributed-parameter model and finite-element accumulation of different dielectric properties of micromaterials were used to describe the evolution of light polarization states, instead of the previously commonly used method of lumped-parameter simulation, thus essentially explaining the mechanism of sensing, magneto-optical effects, and related factors, and achieving multiphysics coupling using the COMSOL finite-element analysis method. Considering the cases of the Faraday effect without and with line birefringence, the magneto-optical effect and output characteristics of an infinitesimal magneto-optical sensor were simulated and studied. The results verified the effectiveness of the infinitesimal sensor model. Because the magnetic field, stress, and temperature changes alter the dielectric properties of magneto-optical materials, the finite-element accumulation method lays a good foundation for research on theoretical analysis and performance of magneto-optical sensors affected by factors such as the magnetic field, temperature, and stress.

A flexible metal-organic framework with double interpenetration for highly selective CO_2 capture at room temperature

MicroRNAs （miRNAs） are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, and their aberrant expression occurs during the development of malignant diseases. Recently, miRNAs have been proposed as potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers for early diagnosis. However, a major obstacle in rapid miRNA analysis from real samples is the lack of ultrasensitive and quantitative techniques. In this regard, the use of chemiluminescence （CL） system offers a highly sensitive strategy for detecting miRNAs. In this article, an ultrasensitive approach has been established for the quantification ofmiRNAs, using magnetic beads （MBs） and alkaline phosphatase （AP）-based CL system. This technique depends on sandwich hybridization among MBs-labeled capture probes, target miRNAs and biotin-labeled reporter probes, conjugation of streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase （SA-AP） to biotin-labeled reporter probes, and CL detection of AP-linked targets. Detection of miR-21 with this technique demonstrated a high selectivity and an ultralow limit of detection （LOD） of 60 fM with an extraordinarily wide range of six orders of magnitudes. The quantitation could be achieved by direct detecting target miRNA in serum samples within a total time of 1.5 h and did not require reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction （PCR） amplification. Therefore, this developed method shows great potential for early cancer diagnosis based on miRNAs as biomarkers.

Photovoltaic properties of ferroelectric solar cells based on polycrystalline BiFeO_3 films sputtered on indium tin oxide substrates

To study the ferroelectric photovoltaic effect based on polycrystalline films, preparation of high-quality polycrystalline films with low leakage and high remnant polarization is essential. Polycrystalline BiFeO3 （BFO） thin films with extremely large remnant polarization （2Pr = 180 ~aC/cm2） were successfully deposited on glass substrates coated with indium tin oxide using a modified radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. Symmetric and asymmetric cells were constructed to investigate the ferroelectric photovoltaic effect in order to understand the relationship between polarization and photovoltaic response. All examined cells showed polarization-induced photovoltaic effect. Our findings also showed that the ferroelectric photovoltaic effect is highly dependent on the material used for the top electrode and the thickness of the polycrystalline film.

Microstructure and optoelectronic properties of galliumtitanium-zinc oxide thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering

Gallium-titanium-zinc oxide(GTZO) transparent conducting oxide(TCO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The dependences of the microstructure and optoelectronic properties of GTZO thin films on Ar gas pressure were observed. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) results show that all the deposited films are polycrystalline with a hexagonal structure and have a preferred orientation along the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. With the increment of Ar gas pressure, the microstructure and optoelectronic properties of GTZO thin films will be changed. When Ar gas pressure is 0.4 Pa, the deposited films possess the best crystal quality and optoelectronic properties.

Investigation of thermal radiation effect on optical dome of sapphire coated yttrium oxide

Compared to traditional optical domes, domes of sapphire coated with films can effectively reduce emissivity and increase transmittance. The purpose of this work is to investigate the thermal radiation effect on sapphire optical dome coated with yttrium oxide by a radio frequency mag- netron sputtering method. The emissivity of sapphire coated with Y203 films is studied by both numerical and experi- mental methods. The results indicate that the emissivity of sapphire substrate is reduced effectively with increasing the thickness of the Y203 film. In addition, a finite element model is developed to simulate the radiation intensity of the optical dome. The thermal responses indicate that the max- imum temperature is reduced apparently compared with the uncoated sapphire as Y203 film thicknesses increase. The average irradiance distribution at different film thicknesses with time shows that the self-thermal radiation disturbance of sapphire optical dome delays 0.93 s when the thickness of Y203 film is 200μm, which can guarantee the dome works properly and effectively even in a harsh environment.

Synthesis of monoclinic structure gallium oxide film on sapphire substrate by magnetron sputtering

Gallium oxide （Ga203） films were deposited on singlecrystalline sapphire （0001） substrate by radio frequency （RF） magnetron sputtering technique in the temperature range of 300--500 ℃. The microstructure of the fl-Ga203 films were investigated in detail using X-ray diffractometer （XRD） and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The results show that the film prepared at 500℃ exhibits the best crystallinity with a monoclinic structure （fl-Ga203）. Structure analysis reveals a clear out-of-plane orientation offl-Ga203 （201） II A1203 （0001）. The average transmittance of these films in the visible wavelength range exceeds 90%, and the optical band gap of the films varies from 4.68 eV to 4.94 eV which were measured by an ultraviolet-visible-near infrared （UV-vis-NIR） spectrophotometer. Therefore, it is hopeful that the fl-Ga203 film can be used in the UV optoelectronic devices.
