Study of a magnetic alloy-loaded RF cavity for bunch compression at the CSR

The Heavy Ion Research Facility and Cooling Storage Ring (HIRFL-CSR) accelerator in Lanzhou offers a unique possibility for the generation of high density and short pulse heavy ion beams by non-adiabatic bunch compression longitudinally, which is implemented by a fast jump of the RF-voltage amplitude. For this purpose, an RF cavity with high electric field gradient loaded with Magnetic Alloy cores has been developed. The results show that the resonant frequency range of the single-gap RF cavity is from 1.13 MHz to 1.42 MHz, and a maximum RF voltage of 40 kV with a total length of 100 cm can be obtained, which can be used to compress heavy ion beams of U-238(72+) with 250 MeV/u from the initial bunch length of 200 ns to 50 ns with the coaction of the two single-gap RF cavity mentioned above.

A 2-kW COIL with a square pipe-array JSOG and nitrogen buffer gas

A 2-kW-class chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) using nitrogen buffer gas has been developed and tested since industrial applications of COIL devices will require the use of nitrogen as the buffer gas. The laser, with a gain length of 11.7 cm, is energized by a square pipe-array jet-type singlet oxygen generator (SPJSOG) and employs a nozzle bank with a designed Mach number of 2.5. The SPJSOG has advantages over the traditional plate-type JSOG in that it has less requirements on basic hydrogen peroxide (BHP) pump, and more important, it has much better operational stability. The SPJSOG without a cold trap and a gas-liquid separator could provide reliable operations for a total gas flow rate up to 450 mmol/s and with a low liquid driving pressure of around 0.7 atm or even lower. The nozzle bank was specially designed for a COIL using nitrogen as the buffer gas. The cavity was designed for a Mach number of 2.5, in order to provide a gas speed and static temperature in the cavity similar to that for a traditional COIL with helium buffer gas and a Mach 2 nozzle. An output power of 2.6 kW was obtained for a chlorine flow rate of 140 mmol/s, corresponding to a chemical efficiency of 20.4%. When the chlorine flow rate was reduced to 115 mmol/s, a higher chemical efficiency of 22.7% was attained. Measurements showed that the SPJSOG during normal operation could provide a singlet oxygen yield Y greater than or equal to 55%, a chlorine utilization U greater than or equal to 85%, and a relative water vapor concentration w = [H2O]/([O-2] + [Cl-2]) less than or equal to 0.1.

Self-Assembly of Rod-Terminally Tethered Three-Armed Star-Shaped Coil Block Copolymer: Investigation of the Presence of the Branching in the Coil to the Self-Assembled Behavior

Self-assembled behavior of rod-terminally tethered three-armed star-shaped coil block copolymer melts was studied by applying self-consistent-field lattice techniques in three-dimensional (3D) space. Similar to rod-coil diblock copolymers, five morphologies were observed, i.e., lamellar, perforated lamellar, gyroidlike, cylindrical and sphericallike structures, while the distribution of the morphologies in the phase diagram was dramatically changed with respect to that Of rod-coil diblock copolymers.

Self-assembly of rod-coil-rod ABA-type triblock copolymers

Self-assembled behavior of symmetric ABA rod-coil-rod triblock copolymer melts is studied by applying self-consistent-field lattice techniques in three-dimensional space. The phase diagram is constructed to understand the effects of the chain architecture on the self-assembled behavior. Four stable structures are observed for the ABA rod-coil-rod triblock, i.e., spherelike, lamellar, gyroidlike, and cylindrical structures. Different from AB rod-coil diblock and BAB coil-rod-coil triblock copolymers, the lamellar structure observed in ABA rod-coil-rod triblock copolymer melts is not stable for high volume fraction of the rod component (f(rod)=0.8), which is attributed to the intramolecular interactions between the two rod blocks of the polymer chain.

"Sandglass"-shaped self-assembly of coil-rod-coil triblock copolymer containing rigid aniline-pentamer

The amphiphilic PEG1 500-b-EM AP-b-PEG1 500 (EM PAP) triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and emeraldine aniline-pentamer (EM AP) in its concentrated solution can self-assemble into a special shape like "sandglass", as observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). This "sandglass"- shaped assembly is composed of several "rods" aggregated in the middle, with every "rod" being about 8 VLrn in length and 300 nm in diameter.

Synthesis and Characterization of Coil-Rod-Coil Triblock Copolymers Comprising Fluorene-Based Mesogenic Monodisperse Conjugated Rod and Poly(ethylene oxide) Coil

A series of coil-rod-coil triblock copolymers (i.e., F3T8EO8, F3T8EO17, F3T8EO45, and F3T8EO125) with a mesogenic monodisperse conjugated oligomer comprising 3 fluorene, 8 thiophene, and 2 phenyl units as the rod and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the coil were synthesized. A reference compound, that is F3T8ME2, with the identical rod but without PEO was also prepared for comparison. The volume fraction of PEO (f(PEO)) was 0, 0.16, 0.28, 0.50, and 0.73 for F3T8ME2, F3T8EO8, F3T8EO17, F3T8EO45, and F3T8EO125, respectively. It was found that the introduction of PEO into the triblock copolymers encouraged the formation of H-type aggregation and f(PEO)-dependent highly ordered mesophases while f(PEO) < 0.73. For F3T8ME2, only nematic mesophase was observed. In contrast, F3T8EO8 and F3T8EO17, with f(PEO) of 0.16 and 0.28, respectively, are smectic A (SA) mesomorphism.

Self-assembly of T-shaped rod-coil block copolymer melts

Self-assembled behavior of T-shaped rod-coil block copolymer melts is studied by applying self-consistent-field lattice techniques in three-dimensional space. Compared with rod-coil diblock copolymers with the anchor point positioned at one end, the copolymers with the anchor point at the middle of the rod exhibit significantly different phase behaviors. When the rod volume fraction is low, the steric hindrance of the lateral coils prevents the rods stacking into strip or micelle as that in rod-coil diblock copolymers. The competition between interfacial energy and entropy results in the formation of lamellar structures and the increasing thickness of the lamellar layer with increasing rod volume fraction.

Numerical simulation of coil-helix transition processes of gelatin

Gelatin is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and photographic industries due to the coil-helix transition, whereas the structural inhomogeneity considerably affects its essential properties closely connecting with the industrial applications. The spatially structural inhomogeneity of the gelatin caused by the uneven and unstable temperature field is analyzed by the finite element method during the cooling-induced coil-helix transition process. The helix conversion and the crosslinking density as functions of time and spatial grid are calculated by the incremental method. A length distribution density function is introduced to describe the continuous length distributions of two kinds of triple helices.
