Arc Root Motion In An Argon-Hydrogen Dc Plasma Torch

Arc root motion on the anode surface of a dc non-transferred plasma torch was observed. Adding hydrogen changes the arc root attachment from a diffused type to a constricted type, and the arc root of Ar-H-2 plasma suddenly,jumps from one spot to another irregularly.

An automatic imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer for characterization of nano-film pattern on solid substrate

In order to characterize the physical and spatial properties of nano-film pattern on solid substrates, an automatic imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer (ISE) based on a polarizer - compensator - specimen - analyzer configuration in the visible region is presented. It can provide the spectroscopic ellipsometric parameters psi (x, y, lambda) and Delta (x, y, lambda) of a large area specimen with a lateral resolution in the order of some microns. A SiO2 stepped layers pattern is used to demonstrate the function of the ISE which shows potential application in thin film devices' such as high-throughput bio-chips.

Catalytic Cracking and Heat Sink Capacity of Aviation Kerosene Under Supercritical Conditions

Catalytic cracking of China no. 3 aviation kerosene using a zeolite catalyst was investigated under supercritical conditions. A three-stage heating/cracking system was specially designed to be capable of heating 0.8 kg kerosene to a temperature of 1050 K and pressure of 7.0 MPa with maximum mass flow rate of 80 g/s. Sonic nozzles of different diameters were used to calibrate and monitor the mass flow rate of the cracked fuel mixture. With proper experiment arrangements, the mass flow rate per unit throat area of the cracked fuel mixture was found to well correlate with the extent of fuel conversion. The gaseous products obtained from fuel cracking under different conditions were also analyzed using gas chromatography. Composition analysis showed that the average molecular weight of the resulting gaseous products and the fuel mass conversion percentage were a strong function of the fuel temperature and were only slightly affected by the fuel pressure. The fuel conversion was also shown to depend on the fuel residence time in the reactor, as expected. Furthermore, the heat sink levels due to sensible heating and endothermic cracking were determined and compared at varying test conditions. It was found that at a fuel temperature of similar to 1050 K, the total heat sink reached similar to 3.4 MJ/kg, in which chemical heat sink accounted for similar to 1.5 MJ/kg.

Fluorescent Ag nanoclusters in glass induced by an infrared femtosecond laser

We report a method for the selective introduction of fluorescent Ag nanoclusters in glass. Extinction and photoluminescence spectra show that a fraction of the Ag atoms are generated through femtosecond laser induced multiphoton reduction and then aggregate to form Ag nanoclusters after heat treatment. Red luminescence from the irradiated region is observed under blue or green laser excitation. The fluorescence can be attributed to interband transitions within Ag nanoclusters. This method provides a novel route to fabricate fluorescent nanomaterials in 3D transparent materials. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

气相传输平衡法在（11-20）面蓝宝石上制备γ铝酸锂膜

为了寻找可能替代蓝宝石作为氮化镓外延的新型衬底，通过48h的气相传输平衡，分别在1000℃、1030℃、1050℃、1070℃和1100℃制备了一层单相多晶的γ铝酸锂膜。X射线衍射和扫描电镜分别用于表征膜的物相、取向和表面形貌。结果显示，γ铝酸锂择优取向的好坏取决于气相平衡传输温度，在1050℃制备的γ铝酸锂具有高度的[100]择优取向；在γ铝酸锂（001）面上的双轴拉应力可能有助于[100]择优取向的形成；γ铝酸锂晶粒表面裂纹的方向一致性与其择优取向紧密相关。上述结果表明在合适的工艺条件下，气相传输平衡

The growth of gamma-LiAlO2 layer with a highly-preferred orientation on (0001) sapphire

Using vapor transport equilibration (VTE) technique we succeeded in the fabrication of single-phase gamma-LiAlO2 layer on (0001) sapphire substrate. X-ray diffraction indicated that the as-fabricated layer was highly textured with [100] orientation at proper VTE treatment temperature range from 1050 degrees C to 1100 degrees C. The main factors affecting the quality of the gamma-LiAlO2 layer were investigated by SEM and transmission spectra. These results reveal the possibility of fabricating gamma-LiAlO2 (100)//sapphire (0001) composite substrate for GaN-based epitaxial film by VTE.

镱、钠共掺的氟化钙晶体在1050nm的可饱和吸收作用

通过在稳定连续波运转的Yb:YAG激光器中插入不同掺杂浓度的新型钠、镱共掺的氟化钙晶体的对比性实验,证明了镱、钠共掺的氟化钙晶体在1050nm具有明显的可饱和吸收作用,从而解释了该晶体作为增益介质在该波段总是趋于自调Q运转的原因.Yb3+离子是该晶体可饱和吸收作用的主要因素,但是共掺入适当的Na离子可以明显改善晶体的调Q效果.优化共掺镱、钠离子的浓度和比例后的氟化钙晶体能够作为1050nm波段激光器的被动Q开关.

酵母拮抗菌和外源水杨酸对核果类果实抗病相关基因的诱导表达

在果实采后贮藏过程中，病原真菌的侵染会引起果实腐烂，造成巨大的经济损失。利用生物和非生物因子诱导果实抗病性，已经成为采后病害防治领域的一个研究热点。本文主要利用RT-PCR和RACE技术克隆果实抗病相关基因，通过分子杂交和蛋白羰基化免疫检测技术，研究了外源SA和酵母拮抗菌诱导果实抗病性机理，结果表明： 1. 通过优化RNA提取方法，能从含有多糖的冬枣、葡萄、甜樱桃、桃、番茄等果实中提取到质量较好的RNA，用于RT-PCR和Northern杂交。 2. 采用RT-PCR和RACE方法，从甜樱桃果实克隆了两个抗氧化相关基因CAT2（Genbank：EF165590）和GPX（Genbank：EF165591）和两个PR基因GLU-1（Genbank：EF177487）和GLU-3（Genbank：EF177488)。其中CAT2全长cDNA序列为1479 bp，编码492个氨基酸；GPX全长cDNA序列为513 bp，编码170个氨基酸；GLU-1全长cDNA序列为1050 bp，编码349个氨基酸；GLU-3部分cDNA序列为454 bp，编码141个氨基酸。 3. 酵母拮抗菌Pichia membranaefaciens处理不同成熟度的甜樱桃果实，能显著降低果实贮藏期间青霉病（Penicillium expansum）的发生，并且对低成熟度果实的病害防治效果更为明显。酵母拮抗菌的抑病机理与减轻了甜樱桃果实蛋白羰基化程度，诱导了果实抗氧化酶基因（CAT和GPX）和PR基因（GLU-1）的表达和提高了抗氧化酶（CAT和GPX）和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶的活性有关。 4. 四种酵母拮抗菌P. membranaefaciens, Cryptococcus laurentii, Candida guilliermondii和Rhodotorula glutinis处理桃果实，可显著降低贮藏期间的褐腐病（Monilinia fructicola）。这是由于酵母拮抗菌能抑制病原菌侵染造成的氧化胁迫和蛋白羰基化。此外，酵母拮抗菌处理还能显著诱导CAT、POD、几丁质酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性及相应基因的表达。 5. 水杨酸（SA，2 mM）处理采后不同成熟度的甜樱桃果实，能显著降低青霉病的危害。其抑病机理与SA处理能减轻P. expansum侵染引起的果实蛋白羰基化程度，显著提高CAT、GPX和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶基因的表达和相关的酶的活性有关。而2 mM的SA处理对P. expansum的生长没有直接抑制作用。 6. 水杨酸（SA，2 mM）与P. membranaefaciens（1×108 CFU/ml）配合处理能显著降低低温贮藏期间桃果实的褐腐病，并能提高几丁质酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶和POD的活性和相关基因的表达。另外，2 mM的SA对拮抗菌P. membranaefaciens的生长没有影响，但能够抑制病原菌M. fructicola的孢子萌发和菌丝扩展。
