Uniform Homeomorphisms of Unit Spheres and Property H of Lebesgue–Bochner Function Spaces

Assume that the unit spheres of Banach spaces X and Y are uniformly homeomorphic.Then we prove that all unit spheres of the Lebesgue–Bochner function spaces Lp(μ, X) and Lq(μ, Y)are mutually uniformly homeomorphic where 1 ≤ p, q < ∞. As its application, we show that if a Banach space X has Property H introduced by Kasparov and Yu, then the space Lp(μ, X), 1 ≤ p < ∞,also has Property H.

The Coarse l^(p)-Novikov Conjecture and Banach Spaces with Property(H)

In this paper,for 1<p<∞,the authors show that the coarse l^(p)-Novikov conjecture holds for metric spaces with bounded geometry which are coarsely embeddable into a Banach space with Kasparov-Yu’s Property(H).

Effect of Chromium on Structure and Tribological Properties of Hydrogenated Cr/a-C:H Films Prepared via a Reactive Magnetron Sputtering System

Hydrogenated Cr-incorporated carbon films （Cr/a-C：H） are deposited successfully by using a dc reactive mag- netron sputtering system. The structure and mechanical properties of the as-deposited Cr/a-C：H films are characterized systematically by field-emission scanning electron microscope, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, nanoindentation and scratch. It is shown that optimal Cr metal forms nanocrystalline carbide to improve the hardness, toughness and adhesion strength in the amorphous carbon matrix, which possesses relatively higher nano-hardness of 15. 7 CPa, elastic modulus of 126.8 GPa and best adhesion strength with critical load （Lc） of 36 N for the Cr/a-C：H film deposited at CH4 flow rate of 20sccm. The friction and wear behaviors of as-deposited Cr/a-C：H films are evaluated under both the ambient air and deionized water conditions. The results reveal that it can achieve superior low friction and anti-wear performance for the Cr/a-C：H film deposited at CH4 flow rate of 20sccm under the ambient air condition, and the friction coetllcient and wear rate tested in deionized water condition are relatively lower compared with those tested under the ambient air condition for each film. Superior combination of mechanical and tribological properties for the Cr/a-C：H film should be a good candidate for engineering applications.

A STUDY ON THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CH_3OH AND H_2CO MOLECULES IN TERMS OF THE PROPERTIES OF CHARGE DENSITY DISTRIBUTIONS

Two possible complexes formed by the interaction of CH_3OH and H_2CO,one hydrogen-bonded (Ⅰ)and one donor-acceptor complex(Ⅱ),have been reported in the previous paper.Based on the ab initio 6-31G basis set calculations,the properties of the charge density for the complexeshave been analyzed using the theory of atoms in molecules.The nature of the complex formation has been discussed in terms of the properties of the charge density distributions.

Metal-free phthalocyanine single crystal： Solvothermal synthesis and near-infrared electroluminescence

A metal-flee purple H2Pc single crystal was synthesized by a facile solvothermal method, and its solubility and near-infrared （NIR） optical properties were also investigated due to its potential applications as a light-emitting layer for OLEDs. The H2Pc single crystal is insoluble in 1-chlorine naphthalene and other organic solvents. It gives a wide absorption in the range from 620 nm to 679 nm and a wide emission in near 922 nm. As an active light-emitting layer, H2Pc was employed to fabricate electroluminescent （EL） devices with a structure of ITO/NPB （30 nm）/Alq3：H2Pc （30 nm）/BCP （20 nm）/ Alq3 （20 nm）/Al. The emission center is at 936 nm when the H2Pc doping concentration is 20 wt%. The doping concentration strongly governs the emission intensity. When doping concentration decreases from 10 wt% to 1 wt%, the emission intensity remarkably fades, and simultaneously the emission center undergoes a blue shift.
