Here, we report the application of this procedure to an MW5.4 mainshock that occurred in Greece on 17 November 2014. This mainshock（which is pretty rare since it is the strongest in that area for more than half a century） was preceded by an SES activity recorded on 27 July 2014, and the results of the natural time analysis reveal that the system approached the critical point（mainshock occurrence） early in the morning on 15 November 2014.展开更多

The monolithic samples have been prepared via sol-gel process using tetraethorthosilicate (TEOS), Si(C2H5O)4 and Triethylphosphate (TEP) (C2H5O)3P(O) as SiO2 and P2O5 precursors. Phosphate incorporates into the silicate network by substituting Si atoms and consequently, we observed changes in structural and spectroscopic properties for these systems. The structures of prepared samples were examined by observed weight loss, XRD and FTIR. It has been found that in the structure of pure silica and phosphosilicate glasses there are formed domains characterized by certain degree of ordering of the units present in their composition, while the structure of pure silica is still amorphous of these glasses. The changing character of domains structure may be the reason of different chemical activities of phosphosilicate glass.展开更多

A softening and an increase of the intensity of the in-plane anti-symmetric phonon mode are observed at 0.2eV. It is suggested that they both originate from coupling of the optically active phonon mode to virtual electronic transitions, which is related to the band structure of bilayer graphene and leads to the “charged phonon” effect. In addition, it is noted that optically active phonon peaks have pronounced Fano shapelines. It is argued that the Fano shapeline is attributed to the interaction of the phonon mode with a continuum of electronic transitions in valence bands of hydrogenated bilayer graphene.展开更多
