A single crystal of the Moan was grown by solution growth method. The crystal was then characterized by X-ray diffraction structure analysis and second-harmonic generation(SHG)investigation. Polymorphous crystal forms of the MONA were grown from different solvents having different nonlinear optical properties depending on their different crystal structures. The relationship between the crystal growth and crystal structure is discusse.展开更多

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of Nylon 10 T and Nylon 10T/1010 was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). Jeziorny equation and Mo equation were applied to describe the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the Nylon 10 T and the Nylon 10T/1010. The activation energies for non-isothermal crystallization were obtained by Vyazovkin's method and Friedman's method, respectively. These results showed that Jeziorny equation and Mo equation well described the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the Nylon 10 T and the Nylon 10T/1010. It was found that the values of the activation energy for non-isothermal crystallization of the Nylon 10T/1010 were lower than those of the Nylon 10 T at a given temperature or relative crystallinity degree,which revealed that crystallization ability of the Nylon 10T/1010 was higher. The crystal morphology was observed by means of a polarized optical microscope(POM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). It was found that the addition of sebacic acid comonomer not only did not change the crystal form of the Nylon 10 T, but also significantly increased the number and decreased the size of spherulites. Comparing with the Nylon 10 T, the crystallization rate was increased with the addition of the sebacic acid comonomer.展开更多

Using a method of multiple scales we show that the nonlinear evolution of a wave packet, formed by the superposition of short-wavelength excitations, and long-wavelength mean fields, generated by the self-interaction of the wave packet, are governed by a set of coupled high-dimenslonal nonlinear envelope equations, which can be reduced to Davey-Stewartson equations and thus support dromionlike high-dimensional nonlinear excitations in the system.展开更多

In the crystal lattice, the molecules create a network structure through hydrogen bonds. The second order optical non- linearity was performed by quantum chemical method, showing the title compound has higher molecular hyper polarizability value (?= 24.66×10-30 esu).展开更多

The nanocrystalline and amorphous MgzNi-type Mg2Nil-xMnx (x=0, 0. 1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) alloys were synthesized by the melt-spinning technique. The structures of the as-cast and spun alloys were studied by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics of the alloys were measured with an automatically controlled Sieverts apparatus. The results show that the as-spun Mn-free alloy holds a typical nanocrystalline structure, whereas the as-spun alloys containing Mn display a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure, confirming that the substitution of Mn for Ni intensifies the glass forming ability of the Mg2Ni-type alloy. The hydrogen absorption and desorption capacities and kinetics of the alloys increase with increasing the spinning rate, for which the nanocrystalline and amorphous structure produced by the melt spinning is mainly responsible. The substitution of Mn for Ni evidently improves the hydrogen desorption performance. The hydrogen desorption capacities of the as-cast and spun alloys rise with the increase in the percentage of Mn substitution.展开更多

The structural sensitivity to tension decreases with increasing Cu content. The crystallization enthalpy increases with increasing excess free volume. The characteristic temperatures of the tensile samples can surpass those of the as-cast ones under a critical heating rate which differs in the Cu content. The increase of the excess free volume significantly influences the glass transition and crystallization procedures.展开更多

Magnetization, specific heat and resistivity measurements all show that CeZnAls orders magnetically below around 4.4 K. Furthermore, magnetization measurements exhibit a hysteresis loop at low temperatures and fields, indicating the presence of a ferromagnetic component in the magnetic state. This points to a different nature of the magnetism in CeZnAl3 compared to the other isostructural CeTAl3 compounds. Resistivity measurements under pressures up to 1.8 GPa show a moderate suppression of the ordering temperature with pressure, suggesting that measurements to higher pressures are required to look for quantum critical behavior.展开更多

The compounds obtained were fully characterized by IR,MS and NMR spectroscopies. The structures of L2 and L3 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. No noticeable solvatochromism was observed in either one-photon absorption or one-photon excited fluorescence spectra. All of the compounds have high fluorescence quantum yields and long fluorescence lifetime. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of the compounds were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Interestingly,the position of the nitrogen atom from pyridine influences their two-photon absorption across-sections.展开更多
