Rotating wheel filter design and optimization for a uniform depth dose distribution in heavy ion therapy

Treatment planning of heavy-ion radiotherapy involves predictive calculation of not only the physical dose but also the biological dose in a patient body. The goal in designing beam-modulating devices for heavy ion therapy is to achieve uniform biological effects across the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP). To achieve this, a mathematical model of Bragg peak movement is presented. The parameters of this model have been resolved with Monte Carlo method. And a rotating wheel filter is designed basing on the velocity of the Bragg peak movement.

固着磨料加工工艺对磷酸盐钕玻璃亚表面缺陷的影响

散粒磨料研磨与固着磨料研磨是光学研磨加工过程中的两种主要手段,但两者材料去除的机制不同。目前针对高功率固体激光装置中的主要工作物质——磷酸盐激光钕玻璃的亚表面缺陷(SSD)研究相对较少,因此在实验的基础上,通过系统地研究固着磨料对磷酸盐激光钕玻璃的研磨工艺过程,分析了多种因素,如磨料粒径、载荷大小、机床转速,以及结合剂材料与冷却液等对钕玻璃亚表面缺陷形成的影响,并与散粒磨料研磨工艺所产生的亚表面缺陷进行了比较,对关键工艺参数进行定量,为高质量钕玻璃制造工艺的选型以及进一步优化亚表面缺陷提供了重要的参考数据。

Subsurface damage of Nd-doped phosphate glasses in optical fabrication

We present a destructive method for detecting and measuring subsurface damage of Nd-doped phosphate glasses. An instrument based on the dimple method - a destructive method - was developed. Subsurface damage depth produced in each fabrication procedure was obtained. We extend the surface roughness-subsurface damage relation to Nd-doped phosphate glasses. The constant ratio of subsurface damage and surface roughness was obtained as well. We also analyse the relation of abrasive size and subsurface damage experimentally. From a measurement of the surface roughness or abrasive size, one can obtain an accurate estimate of the damage layer thickness that must be eliminated by polishing or subsequent grinding operations.

磷酸盐钕玻璃表面/亚表面损伤特性实验研究

系统地研究了光学研磨过程中,磨料粒径、载荷大小以及机床转速对钕玻璃表面及亚表面损伤的影响。结果表明,机床转速和载荷基本不改变材料表面粗糙度,而较大载荷或较低机床转速产生较大的亚表面缺陷,表面粗糙度和亚表面缺陷缺陷深度基本与最大磨料粒径呈正比,载荷增倍使亚表面缺陷与表面粗糙度的常数比值增加0.05。研究结果为钕玻璃加工工艺改进提供了参考依据。

The effects of sapphire substrates processes to the LED efficiency - art. no. 68410M

We investigate the relation between the thickness of sapphire substrates and the extraction efficiency of LED. The increasing about 5% was observed in the simulations and experiments when the sapphire thickness changed from 100um to 200um. But the output power increasing is inconspicuous when the thickness is more than 200um. The structure on bottom face of sapphire substrates can enhance the extraction efficiency of GaN-based LED, too. The difference of output power between the flip-chip LED with smooth bottom surface and the LED with roughness bottom surface is about 50%, where only a common sapphire grinding process is used. But for those LEDs grown on patterned sapphire substrate the difference is only about 10%. Another kind of periodic pattern on the bottom of sapphire is fabricated by the dry etch method, and the output of the back-etched LEDs is improved about 50% than a common. case.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERS OF OXYGEN DEFECTS IN SILICON SUBJECTED TO INTRINSIC GETTERING TREATMENT

The influence of oxygen defects on the resistivity and mobility of silicon wafers is discussed. Grinding processes were performed on the surfaces of samples in order to obtain the information on interior defects of the samples. Spreading resistivity and Hall measurements prove that SiO(x) complexes alone result in resistivity increase and mobility decrease. Deep level transient spectroscopy experiments prove that SiO(x) complexes alone are electrically active. A mechanism of carrier scattering by electrically active SiO(x) complex is proposed to explain the changes of resistivity and mobility.

Crystallographic and electrochemical characteristics of melt-spun Ti–Zr–Ni–Y alloys

Ti45Zr30Ni25Yx (x = 1, 3, 5 and 7) alloys were prepared by melt-spinning at wheel velocity of 20 m s(-1). The effect of additive Y on phase structure and electrochemical performance of melt-spun alloys was investigated. Ti45Zr30Ni25Yx melt-spun alloys were composed of I-phase and amorphous phase. T

A {Co-32} Nanosphere Supported by p-tert-Butylthiacalix[4]arene

Calixarene-capped Co-32 clusters are constructed by a sodalite Co-24(II) cage and an encapsulated Co-8(III) cube. The spherical units are arranged into three isomeric structures, two of which are stacked by the bcc lattices and the third of which is assembled by the cubic closest packing of the spherical units.

Synthesis and characterization of the nanoporous ultrathin multilayer films based on molybdenum polyoxometalate (Mo-36)(n)

Ultrathin multilayer films of the wheel-shaped molybdenum polyoxometalate cluster (Mo-36)(n) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) have been prepared by the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly method. The ((Mo-36)(n)/PAH)(m) multilayer films have been characterized by Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). UV-VIS measurements reveal regular film growth with each (Mo-36)(n) adsorption. The electrochemical behavior of the film at room temperature was investigated.

Lanthanide coordination polymers with dicarboxylate-like ligands: crystal structures of polymeric lanthanum(III) and terbium(III) complexes with flexible double betaines

Four novel polymeric lanthanide(III) complexes of two new double betaine derivatives have been synthesized and structurally determined. In [{La-2(L-1)(2)(H2O)(9)}(n)]Cl-6n. 2nH(2)O (1) and [{Tb(L-1)(H2O)(4)}(n)]Cl-3n. nH(2)O (2) (L-1 =4,4'-trimethylenedipyridinio-N,N'-diacetate), the lanthanide(III) ions form a two-dimensional layer in which each pair of lanthanide(III) ions is bridged by two syn-anti mu-carboxylato-O,O' groups. Adjacent layers are cross-linked through hydrogen bonds among aqua ligands, lattice water molecules and chloride ions, to form a three-dimensional network. Isomorphous [{Ln(L-1)(H2O)(4)}(n)]Cl-3n. 5nH(2)O (Ln=La, 3; Ln=Tb, 4; L-2=1,3 bis(pyridinio-4-carboxylato)-propane) each contain a centrosymmetric paddle-wheel-like dimeric unit in which each pair of adjacent metal atoms is bridged by four syn-syn mu-carboxylato-O,O' groups that are oriented nearly perpendicular to each other about the metal-metal axis. Neighboring dimeric subunits are bridged by a pair of flexible LL ligands into a polymeric chain. Adjacent chains are inter-linked by hydrogen bonds among aqua ligands, lattice water molecules and chloride ions into a three-dimensional network. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fractal roughness characterization of super-ground Mn-Zn ferrite single crystals

The surface of superground Mn-Zn ferrite single crystal may be identified as a self-affine fractal in the stochastic sense. The rms roughness increased as a power of the scale from 10(2) nm to 10(6) nm with the roughness exponent alpha = 0.17 +/- 0.04, and 0.11 +/- 0.06, for grinding feed rate of 15 and 10 mu m/rev, respectively. The scaling behavior coincided with the theory prediction well used for growing self-affine surfaces in the interested region for magnetic heads performance. The rms roughnesses increased with increase in the feed rate, implying that the feed rate is a crucial grinding parameter affecting the supersmooth surface roughness in the machining process.

Amphi-Eomes/Tbr1: An amphioxus cognate of vertebrate Eomesodermin and T-Brain1 genes whose expression reveals evolutionarily distinct domain in amphioxus development

A cDNA for a novel T-box containing gene was isolated from the amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri. A molecular phylogenetic tree constructed from the deduced amino acid sequence of the isolated cDNA indicates that this gene belongs to the T-Brain subfamily. In situ hybridization reveals that the expression is first detected in the invaginating archenteron at the early gastrula stage and this expression is down-regulated at the neurula stage. In early larvae, the expression appears again and transcripts are detected exclusively in the pre-oral pit (wheel organ-Hatschek's pit of the adult). In contrast to the vertebrate counterparts, no transcripts are detected in the brain vesicle or nerve cord throughout the development. These results are interpreted to mean that a role of T-Brain products in vertebrate forebrain development was acquired after the amphioxus was split from the lineage leading to the vertebrates. On the other hand, comparison of the tissue-specific expression domain of T-Brain genes and other genes between amphioxus and vertebrates revealed that the pre-oral pit of amphioxus has several molecular features which are comparable to those of the vertebrate olfactory and hypophyseal placode.
