The plasmon resonance absorption of Ag/SiO2 nanocomposite films

The plasmon resonance absorption of the Ag/SiO2 nanocomposite film is investigated. The measured absorption spectra are compared with those calculated by the Mie theory. The results indicate that the Mie theory on the basis of classical electrodynamics can only partially explain the optical absorption spectra of the Ag/SiO2 nanocomposite film. We believe that the plasmon resonance absorption is mainly an intrinsic quality of the metal particle, and can be explained only with the electronic structure of the metal particle. In the latter, surface resonance state is introduced to systematically discuss the optical absorption spectra of the Ag/SiO2 nanocomposite film. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Homogeneous Epitaxial Growth of N,N '-di(n-butyl)quinacridone Thin Films on Ag(110)

The structural evolution of the ordered N-N' dibutyl-substituted quinacridone (QA4C) multilayers (3 MLs) has been monitored in situ and in real time at various substrate temperatures using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) during organic molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Experimental results of LEED patterns clearly reveal that the structure of the multilayer strongly depends on the substrate temperature. Multilayer growth can be achieved at the substrate temperatures below 300 K, while at the higher temperatures we can only get one ordered monolayer of QA4C. Two kinds of structures, the commensurate and incommensurate one, often coexist in the QA4C multilayer. With a method of the two-step substrate temperatures, the incommensurate one can be suppressed, and the commensurate, on the other hand, more similar to the (001) plane of the QA4C bulk crystal, prevails with the layer of QA4C increasing to 3 MLs. The two structures in the multilayers are compressed slightly in comparison to the original ones in the first monolayer.

枸杞体细胞胚发生过程中Ag~+对痕量金属离子吸收的影响

以药用植物宁夏枸杞愈伤组织为材料,离体培养诱导体细胞胚发生。采用多重示踪剂和γ射线能谱分析法研究不同浓度AgNO_3处理的枸杞体细胞胚发生过程中对多种痕量金属元素离子的吸收。结果表明:(1)当AgNO_3的浓度小于50mg/L时,随着AgNO_3浓度的增加,多种痕量金属离子的吸收率也随之增加,而超过此浓度后,对多种痕量金属离子的吸收影响不同。Ag~+对痕量金属离子的吸收有协同,拮抗或竞争的作用。(2)适当浓度的AgNO_3对细胞分化及体细胞胚发生有促进作用。当AgNO_3的浓度小于50mg/L时,随着AgNO_3浓度的增加,体细胞胚的发生频率随之增加。Ag~+对枸杞体细胞胚发生表现促进作用,当AgNO_3的浓度为50mg/L时,可大大提高愈伤组织中体细胞胚发生,是对照(不加AgNO_3)组的3倍左右。而超过此浓度后,Ag~+对枸杞体细胞胚发生表现毒害作用,体细胞胚的发生受到明显抑制。

30 MeV/u~(40)Ar+~(nat)Ag反应中类弹碎片发射的时-空演化

报道了 ３０ＭｅＶ／ ｕ(４０)Ａｒ＋(ｎａｔ)Ａｇ反应中中等质量碎片（ＩＭＦ）发射时间（τ）随发射源空间大小的演化规律，并对类弹碎片的发射时空进行了讨论．结果表明，ＩＭＦ的发射时标与中等质量碎片关联函数以及发射源的核物质密度（ρ）有关，而与发射源的质量数的关系不大．对于能量较高的类弹碎片来说，在较小的核物质密度下提取的发射时间也较小，因此，在正常核物质密度参数下提取出的发射时间值可作为碎片实际发射时间的上限值．中速碎片的发射时间随密度大小的变化非常缓慢，提取出的发射时间值即可作为实际的发射时间。

Structure of upper-g(9/2)-shell nuclei and shape effect in the Ag-94 isomeric states

Using a shell model which is capable of describing the spectra of upper g(9/2)-shell nuclei close to the N = Z line, we study the structure of two isomeric states 7(+) and 21(+) in the odd-odd N = Z nucleus Ag-94. It is found that both isomeric states exhibit a large collectivity. The 7(+) state is oblately deformed, and is suggested to be a shape isomer in nature. The 21(+) state becomes isomeric because of level inversion of the 19(+) and 21(+) states due to core excitations across the N = Z = 50 shell gap. Calculation of spectroscopic quadrupole moment indicates clearly an enhancement in these states due to the core excitations. However, the present shell model calculation that produces the 19(+)-21(+) level inversion cannot accept the large-deformation picture of Mukha et al.

Enhanced nucleation of Ag nanoparticles by vacancy-type defects in Ar-ions implanted spinel

Vacancy-type defects are introduced into magnesium aluminate spine] (MgAl2O4 (1 1 0)) by Ar-ions implantation, and then Ag-ions are implanted into the depth rich in vacancy-type defects. The ultraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV-VIS) and positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) are used to study the influence of vacancy-type defects on nucleation of Ag nanoparticles. After introduction of vacancy-type defects the pronounced increase of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorbance intensity indicates that defects enhance the nucleation of Ag nanoparticles. The PAS results reveal that vacancy-type defects provide pre-nucleating centers for Ag nanoparticles nucleation and growth. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

30MeV/u~(40)Ar+~(nat)Ag反应中中等质量碎片的发射机制及其发射时间测量

中等质量碎片（IMF）的发射是中能重离子碰撞的一大特点，且随着轰击能量的升高其产额迅速增加。通过测量30MeV/u 40Ar+natAg反应中出射的中等质量碎片，研究了高激发热核的发射机制、发射时标和时空演化规律。 对反应中发射碎片能谱的运动源拟合表明，前角区（11°—22°）中等质量碎片（IMF）来自于三种成分：类靶源、类弹源和中速源成分，其中类弹和中速成分占主导，关联测量的IMF能谱拟合得到，一个来自于类弹源而另一个来自于中速源成分的事件占有相当大的比例。 利用小相对角度内的两碎片关联测量，研究高激发核衰变中中等质量碎片的发射时标和寿命。IMF发射时间随能量的变化很大，从低能碎片的250 fm/c到高能粒子的100 fm/c，表明在此能量下，反应中出射的IMF主要来自于相继两体衰变。通过与其它实验的比较可知，随着束流能量的升高，IMF发射时间由相继两体衰变向多重碎裂过渡。 IMF时空演化研究表明，发射空间的大小对IMF关联函数的影响主要来自于发射源的核物质密度而几乎不依赖于发射源的质量数。

中能区~(40)Ar + ~(197)Au/~(159)Tb/~(nat)Ag反应中高激发热核性质研究

通过对中能区Ar+Au/Tb/Ag反应中高激发核的发射时标、发射次序、发射机制、核温度、集体运动等衰变特性的研究，提取了轻粒子和中等质量碎片（IMF）的发射时间，IMF发射时间随束流能的升高而变短，发射机制逐渐由相继衰变过渡至多重碎裂。研究了轻粒子和碎片间的发射次序，对高能粒子和碎片，轻粒子先于碎片发射，而低能时，则为碎片先于轻粒子发射。IMF发射成分与角度和碰撞参数有关，前角区来自于弹核碎裂，后角区来自于类靶热核的蒸发。在平面和出平面研究表明，中速粒子和碎片为在平面发射占主导，即存在类转动效应；对轻粒子，转动效应随粒子质量增加而增加；对中速产物均观测到该效应随碰撞参数饿增大而增大。采用几种不同的方法提取了热核的核温度，研究了不同方法之间的区别。

On the propagation rate of the chemical waves observed during the course of CO oxidation on a Ag/Pt(110) composite surface

We have analyzed the propagation rate of the chemical waves observed during the course of CO oxidation on a Ag/Pt(I 10) composite surface that were reported in our previous papers [Surf Interface Anal. 2001, 32, 179; J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 5645]. In all cases, the propagation rate v can be adequately fitted as v = v(0) + D-0/d, in which v(0) and D-0 are constants, and d is the distance between the reaction front of the chemical wave and the boundary from which the chemical wave originates. We propose that the surface species responsible for the formation of the chemical wave comes from two paths: the adsorption of molecules in the gas phase on the surface and the migration from the adjacent surface with different catalytic activity. v(0) corresponds to the contribution from the surface species due to the adsorption, and D-0/d to that of the surface species that migrates from the adjacent surface. The rate equation clearly suggests that the observed chemical wave results from the coupling between adjacent surfaces with different catalytic activities during the course of heterogeneous catalysis. These results, together with our previous reports, provide a good fundamental understanding of spillover, an important phenomenon in heterogeneous catalysis.

Epoxidation of propylene over Ag-CuCl catalysts using air as the oxidant

Ag-CuCl catalysts were found to be active and selective for the epoxidation of propylene using air as the oxidant. Ag catalyst gives a propylene conversion of 31.6%, with a propylene oxide (PO) selectivity of 0.42% at a reaction temperature of 350 degreesC after 220 min of reaction. Addition of CuCl significantly improves the selectivity to PO, and suppresses the conversion of propylene. The Ag-CuCl (1/0.6) catalyst gives propylene conversion of about 3% and a PO selectivity of about 30% at a reaction temperature of 350 degreesC after 500 min of reaction. The activity of the Ag-CuCl catalyst increases with the reaction time and the selectivity to PO is very stable for this catalyst. It is found that AgCl and CuO phases formed during the catalyst preparation are beneficial to the epoxidation of propylene.
