Tunable photonic crystals by mixed liquids

Tunable photonic crystals were prepared by infiltrating mixed liquids into the voids of silica opals. The stop bands of the tunable photonic crystals were continuously tuned by changing the relative refraction index contrast n(mix)/ns(pheres) of the spheres and the mixed liquids by varying the volume fraction of the component of the mixed liquids. The peak wavelengths of the stop band have a red shift as the refractive index of the mixed liquids increases. The transmittance at the stop band decreases with the increase of the refractive index contrast n(mix)/n(spheres). The larger the diameter of silica opals is, the wider the tunable range of the stop band is. The position and transmittance of the peak wavelength obtained by the photonic band calculations agreed very well with the experimental data.

Study on QSPR of alcohols with a novel edge connectivity index F-m

A novel edge degree f(i) for heteroatom and multiple bonds in molecular graph is derived on the basis of the edge degree delta(e(r)). A novel edge connectivity index F-m is introduced. The multiple linear regression by using the edge connectivity index F-m and alcohol-type parameter delta, alcohol-distance parameter L can provide high-quality QSPR models for the normal boiling points (BPs), molar volumes (MVs), molar refraction (MRs), water solubility(log(1/S)) and octanol/water partition (logP) of alcohols with up to 17 non-hydrogen atoms. The results imply that these physical properties may be expressed as a liner combination of the edge connectivity index and alcohol-type parameter, 6, alcohol-distance parameter, L. For the models of the five properties, the correlation coefficient r and the standard errors are 0.9969,3.022; 0.9993, 1.504; 0.9992, 0.446; 0.9924,0.129 and 0.9973,0.123 for BPs, MVs, MRs, log(1/S) and logP, respectively. The cross-validation by using the leave-one-out method demonstrates the models to be highly reliable from the point of view of statistics.

BaLiF_3∶Ce~(3+)纳米粒子的制备及其光谱特性

BaLiF3属立方钙钛矿型复合氟化物,作为高效闪烁晶体可用于热中子检测[1].由于其能带隙宽,易于实现各种不同价态稀土离子掺杂,可以获得许多可调谐性质,因此它也是比较理想的光学功能材料的基质[2].Ce3+激活的BaLiF3晶体作为紫外发射的短波固体激光材料和光放大材料的研究多有报道[3~5].Ce3+的发射特性强烈依赖于基质晶体结构[6,7].氟化物基质中氧杂质的含量是影响光谱性质的重要因素[8].为了寻找氧含量低、发射波长更短、可调谐范围更宽的激光材料,本工作制备了BaLiF3∶Ce3+纳米晶,获得了一些新的有意义的实验结果.如果将其引入合适的聚合物基体制备出纳米复合体系,有可能为新一代杂化激光材料提供更理想的光学活性组分[9].1实验部分1.1仪器用日本R igaκu D/maxⅡB型X射线衍射仪(XRD)测量样品的晶体结构,辐射源CuKα1(λ=0·154 1 nm);用日本H itachi S-570环境扫描电子显微镜(ESEM)观察样品的形貌和粒径大小;用日立F-4500荧光光谱仪测试样品的激发和发射光谱;用英国VG公司ESCALAB MKⅡX射线电子能谱仪(XPS)检测样品的含氧量.1.2实验过...

Synthesis and characterization of hyperbranched aromatic poly(ester-imide)s

The synthesis and characterization of hyperbranched aromatic poly(ester-imide)s are described. A variety of AB(2) monomers, N-[3- or 4-bis(4-acetoxyphenyl)toluoyl]-4-carboxyl-phthalimide and N-{3- or 4-[1,1-bis(4-acetooxyphenyl)]ethylphenyl}-4-carboxy phthalimides were prepared starting from condensation of nitrobenzaldehydes or nitroacetophenones with phenol and used for synthesis of hyperbranched poly(ester-imide)s containing terminal acetyl groups by transesterification reaction. These hyperbranched poly(ester-imide)s were produced with weight-average molecular weight of up to 6.87 g/mol. Analysis of H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy revealed the structure of the four hyperbranched poly(ester-imide)s. These hyperbranched poly(ester-imide)s exhibited excellent solubility in a variety of solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and tetrahydrofuran and showed glass-transition temperatures between 217 and 255 degreesC. The thermogravimetric analytic measurement revealed the decomposition temperature at 10% weight-loss temperature (T-d(10)) ranging from 365 to 416 degreesC in nitrogen.

Computer simulation of Gd(III) speciation in human interstitial fluid

The speciation and distribution of Gd(III) in human interstitial fluid was studied by computer simulation. Meantime artificial neural network was applied to the estimation of log beta values of complexes. The results show that the precipitate species, GdPO4 and Gd-2(CO3)(3), are the predominant species. Among soluble species, the free Gd(III), [Gd(HSA)], [Gd(Ox)] and then the ternary complexes of Gd(III) with citrate arc main species and [Gd-3(OH)(4)] becomes the predominant species at the Gd(III) total concentration or 2.2x10(-2)mol/L.

Electrochemiluminescent microoptoprobe with mini-grid working electrode and self-contained sample container

A new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microoptoprobe with simple structure. small sampling volume and high efficiency was developed. It was constructed by fixing the transparent gold mini-grid on the end surface of the optical fiber, and by surrounding the fiber with the counter- and reference electrodes to form a self-contained three-electrode system. The use of mini-grid electrode increased the surface area and collection efficiency. which resulted in higher ECL signal and better sensitivity. The counter electrode together with one end of the fiber formed a mini-vessel, which eliminated the need of additional container and allowed to perform ECL detection in a very small volume (about 10 mul). The microoptoprobe obtained was characterized with the Ru(bpy)(3)(2-)-tripropylamine system and was applied for the determination of oxalate and chlorpromazine (CPZ). Detection limits (S/N = 3) were 5 x 10(-7) and 1 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) for oxalate and CPZ. respectively. The linear range for oxalate and CPZ extended from 1 x 10(-6) to 1 x 10(-3) mol l(-1), and from 5 x 10(-6) to 5 x 10(-4) mol l(-1). respectively.

Self-assembled multilayers of alternating gold nanoparticles and dithiols: approaching to superlattice

The superlattice structure of these self-assembled multilayers was demonstrated by the results of UV-Vis spectrometry, AFM and X-ray diffraction measurements. The multilayer assembled by small-size gold particles has good periodic structure. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Covalently attached multilayer assemblies containing photoreactive diazo-resins and conducting polyaniline

We reported on the multilayer architecture containing diazo-resins (DAR) as polycations and polyaniline poly(aniline-co-N-propanesulfonic acid aniline) (PAPSAH) as polyanions held together by electrostatic interaction. Upon UV irradiation, the adjacent interfaces of the multilayer reacted to form a covalently crosslinking structure which greatly improved the stability of the films as confirmed by solvent etching experiments. These changes were confirmed by UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. The thickness of the covalently attached films were characterized with small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD) and a value of 30.0 Angstrom per bilayer was obtained. This type of film was further characterized by cyclic voltammetry which showed that the electroactive property of PAPSAH was still kept in the films after photoreaction.

APPLICATION OF THE MOMENT METHODS TO ANALYSIS OF X-RAY-DIFFRACTION LINE-PROFILE FOR PA1010-BMI SYSTEM

Pure X-ray diffraction profiles have been analysed for polyamide 1010 and PA1O1O-BMI system by means of multipeak fitting resolution of X-ray diffraction. The methods of variance and fourth moment have been applied to determine the particle size and strain values for the paracrystalline materials. The results indicated that both variance and fourth moment of X-ray diffraction line profile yielded approximately the same values of the particle size and the strain. The particle sizes of (100) reflection have been found to decrease with increasing BMI content, whereas the strain values increased.

SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ER3+-ACTIVATED AND CE3+-SENSITIZED YTTRIUM-ALUMINUM-GARNET LASER CRYSTALS

We report in this paper the spectral characteristics of Er3+ (2 at.%)-activated and Ce3+ (0.3 at.%)-sensitized yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG:Er,Ce) laser crystals grown by the Czochralski technique. The absorption and emission spectra were measured at room temperature. By using absorption spectra and Judd-Ofelt theory the experimental oscillator strengths of the Er3+ transitions in the YAG:Er,Ce crystals were calculated. The energy transfer between the Er3+ and Ce3+ ions is also discussed.
