Transparent Ni2+-doped silicate glass ceramics for broadband near-infrared emission

Transparent Ni2+-doped MgO-Al2O3-Ga2O3-SiO2-TiO2 glass ceramics were fabricated. The precipitated nanocrystal phase in the glass ceramics was identified by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. Broadband near-infrared emission centered at 1220 nm with full width at half maximum of about 240 nm and lifetime of about 250 mu s was observed with 980 nm excitation. The longer wavelength emission compared with Ni2+-doped MgAl2O4 crystal was attributed to the low crystal field occupied by Ni2+ in the glass ceramics. The present Ni2+-doped transparent glass ceramics may have potential applications in broadband optical amplifiers. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Photodegradation of 2-naphthol in aqueous solutions in the presence of humic acid and ferric ions

In this work, the photodegradation of the carcinogenic pollutant 2-naphthol in aqueous solution containing Aldrich humic acid (HA) and ferric ions (Fe(III)) under 125 W and 250 W high pressure mercury lamp (HPML, lambda >= 365 nm) irradiation was investigated. The photooxidation efficiencies were dependent on the pH values, light intensities and Fe(III)/HA concentration in the water, with higher efficiency at pHs 3-4, and 50 mu mol l(-1) Fe(III) with 20 mg l(-1) HA under 250 W HPML. The initial rate of photooxidation increases with increasing, the initial concentration of 2-naphthol from 10 mu mol l(-1) to 100 mu mol l(-1), while do not change at 50 and 100 mu mol l(-1). However, higher removal efficiency of 2-naphthol is achieved at its lower initial concentration of 10 mu mol l(-1), and initial rate of photooxidation is 0.193 mu mol l(-1) min(-1). Dissolved oxygen (DO) plays an important role in the system containing Fe(III)-HA complexes in which Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions were enhanced in the environment. Hydroxyl radicals produced in HA solution with or without ferric ions were determined by using benzene as free radical scavenger and phenol as scavenging products proportional to hydroxyl radicals. By using UV-Vis and excited fluorescence spectrum techniques, the main photooxidation products, which have higher absorption in the region of 240-340 nm, were found, and the mechanisms for the oxidative degradation is proposed.

过量Mg~(2+)对农作物种子萌发特性的影响

[目的]揭示过量Mg2+对玉米和大豆萌发特性的影响。[方法]设0、40、80、120、160、200、240、280、320、360、400 mmol/L11个Mg2+浓度处理,研究不同处理对玉米和大豆发芽势、发芽率、鲜重、干重、根长、株高、茎粗等指标的影响。[结果]随着Mg2+浓度的升高,玉米的发芽被延缓,而大豆发芽率降低明显,达到0.05水平的显著性差异。随着Mg2+浓度升高,玉米和大豆的鲜重和干重降低,但均表现出一定的适应性。玉米和大豆幼根和幼苗生长受Mg2+抑制明显,普遍表现出萎缩、发育不良现象。[结论]过量Mg2+胁迫对不同农作物的发芽势、发芽率影响不同,对农作物的根、茎器官生长毒害作用明显。

过量Mg~(2+)对农作物种子萌发特性的影响(英文)

[Objective] The research aimed to reveal the effects of excessive Mg2+ on the germination characteristics of maize and soybean. [Method] Eleven concentration gradients of Mg2+ including 0,40,80,120,160,200,240,280,320,360 and 400 mmol/L were set up to study the effects of different treatments on such indices as the germination potential,germination rate,fresh weight,dry weight,root length,plant height and stem diameter of maize and soybean. [Result] With the increasing of Mg2+ concentration,the germination of maize delayed and the germination rate of soybean obviously decreased,reaching the significant difference at 0.05 level. When Mg2+ concentration increased,the fresh weight and dry weight of maize and soybean decreased,but maize and soybean showed some adaptability. The growth of radicles and seedlings in maize and soybean were obviously inhibited by Mg2+,and atrophy and dysplasia phenomena appeared. [Conclusion] Excessive Mg2+ stress has different effects on the germination potential and germination rate of different crops and has obvious poisoning effects on the root and stem growth of crops.

利用树木年轮宽度资料重建长白山地区240年来降水量的变化

根据长白山地区水曲柳年轮宽度资料,分析了树木年轮宽度与气候要素的关系,重建了1765年来该地区的降水变化。结果表明:长白山地区近240年降水波动明显,1850年以前降水波动幅度较大,1850—1900年波动比较平稳,并且降水量偏低,1900年以后降水的波动幅度明显增大,且湿润和干旱的持续时间增长,特别是1920年以后,降水波动剧烈;降水减少幅度最大的干旱期是1816—1820年,湿润期是1975—1979年;而1925—1936年和1947—1957年的2个干旱期在持续时间上最为显著。周期分析结果表明,长白山地区降水具有显著的2.64～3.03年、5.28～6.96年以及12.13～22.63年的周期。
