Liquid nitrogen flowrate alarm system for MBE

Liquid nitrogen is very important for MBE system. Most MBE systems use the liquid nitrogen to absorb the impurity molecules. If MBE cryoshroud is lack of liquid nitrogen, the pressure of the growth chamber will grow. This will affect the film quality. But too much liquid nitrogen is a waste. We have developed a liquid nitrogen flowrate alarm system to monitor the liquid nitrogen status in MBE cryoshroud. In this method, a temperature sensor is placed at the end of the cryoshroud. The temperature varies with changing of the liquid nitrogen status in cryoshroud. If the liquid nitrogen level in the cryoshroud is too low or too high, the LNFA will send out an alarm to warn the user to adjust the liquid nitrogen flowrate. In our experiments, we found this method works well, and the temperature responds sensitively. With the help of this system, people can view the liquid nitrogen status of the entire growth process. Compare with other method. it is very cheap.

Organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells based on SnS/SnO nanocrystals and MDMO-PPV

SnS/SnO heterojunction structured nanocrystals with zigzag rod-like connected morphology were prepared by using a simple two-step method. Bulk heterojunction solar cells were fabricated using the SnS/SnO nanocrystals blended with poly(2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MDMO-PPV) as the active layer. Compared with solar cells using SnS nanoparticles hybridized with MDMO-PPV as the active layer, the SnS/SnO devices showed better performance, with a power conversion efficiency higher by about one order in magnitude.

Hydrate dissociation conditions for gas mixtures containing carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, and hydrocarbons using SAFT

A new method, a molecular thermodynamic model based on statistical mechanics, is employed to predict the hydrate dissociation conditions for binary gas mixtures with carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, and hydrocarbons in the presence of aqueous solutions. The statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) equation of state is employed to characterize the vapor and liquid phases and the statistical model of van der Waals and Platteeuw for the hydrate phase. The predictions of the proposed model were found to be in satisfactory to excellent agreement with the experimental data.

原状土通气培养法测定黄土高原土壤供氮能力的研究

评价原状土通气培养法在反映黄土高原土壤供氮能力方面的效果。【方法】以采自于黄土高原差异较大的11个农田耕层土壤为供试土样,以包括和不包括土壤起始NO3--N原状土盆栽黑麦草累积吸氮量为参比,进行室内原状土通气培养法测定土壤供氮能力的研究。【结果】以包括土壤起始NO3--N盆栽试验植物吸氮量为参比,通气培养前CaCl2所淋洗起始NO3--N和起始矿质氮与5期黑麦草地上部氮素累积量密切相关,相关系数分别为0.856和0.862,达1%显著水平;与此相反,通气培养30周所矿化氮素、土壤起始矿质氮+通气培养30周矿化氮素、氮素矿化势(N0)及N0+起始矿质氮与5期黑麦草地上部氮素累积量间无显著相关关系,相关系数分别仅为0.410、0.553、0.492和0.419。以不包括土壤起始NO3--N盆栽试验植物吸氮量为参比,通气培养前CaCl2淋洗起始NO3--N和起始矿质氮与五期黑麦草地上部氮素累积量间的相关性尽管有所降低,但相关性仍达5%显著水平,相关系数分别为0.613和0.607;而通气培养30周矿化氮素、土壤起始矿质氮+通气培养30周矿化氮素、N0及N0+起始矿质氮与五期黑麦草地上部吸氮量的相关系数却明显...

小麦氮磷肥长期配施对土壤硝态氮淋溶的影响

利用长期肥料定位试验,监测旱地农田土壤硝态氮的淋溶动向,研究施肥量与硝态氮累积量之间的关系,为科学施肥提供参考。【方法】在试验小区0～300cm土壤剖面中,每20cm深度取一个土样,1mol·L-1KCl浸提后以AA3连续流动分析仪测定硝态氮含量。【结果】单施氮肥土壤硝态氮累积峰出现在80～100cm土层和300cm以下土层,当施氮量达到180kg·hm-2·a-1时,0～300cm土层硝态氮累积总量相当于8年的施氮量。单施磷肥对土壤硝态氮分布无影响;氮、磷肥配施时,施氮量增加硝态氮累积量显著增加,配施磷肥后可以减少硝态氮累积量,且施氮量越大减少的越多。过量施用氮肥,即使配施磷肥,硝态氮也能发生淋溶并在100～120cm和240～260cm土层附近累积;二次多项式回归能够较好地反映氮、磷施用量与土壤硝态氮累积量之间的关系。【结论】长期过量施用氮肥,导致硝态氮大量淋溶并形成两个累积峰,科学合理地配施磷肥可以减少硝态氮淋失;旱地麦田长期施用最大产量施肥量,可能导致硝态氮大量累积在土壤深层。

对间隙淋洗长期通气培养条件下黄土高原土壤供氮能力的评价

采用间隙淋洗长期通气培养法,通过对黄土高原物理化学性质差异较大的10种农田土样起始矿质氮、起始提取态总氮、起始可溶性有机氮,以及培养期间淋洗矿质氮、淋洗总氮、可溶性有机氮含量及其与作物吸氮量关系的研究,分析并评价黄土高原主要农田土壤氮素矿化能力以及包括和不包括培养淋洗可溶性有机氮对土壤供氮能力的影响。结果表明,供试土样起始可溶性有机氮平均为N 23.9 mg/kg,是起始提取态总氮的28.8%,土壤全氮的2.4%。在通气培养淋洗总氮中,可溶性有机氮所占比例不高,经过217 d通气培养,淋洗出的可溶性有机氮平均为N 28.8mg/kg,占淋洗总氮量的19.8%。相关分析表明,淋洗可溶性有机氮量与第l季作物吸氮量相关不显著,但与连续2季作物总吸氮量显著相关。淋洗矿质氮、淋洗总氮与两季作物总吸氮量的相关系数明显高于与第一季作物吸氮量的相关系数;与第一季作物吸氮量达显著相关水平,与连续两季作物吸氮量达极显著相关水平。总体上看,可溶性有机氮和土壤全氮、土壤微生物氮不能作为反映短期可矿化氮的指标;间隙淋洗通气培养淋洗液中淋洗矿质氮、淋洗总氮是评价可矿化氮的较好指标,不仅适宜于第一季作物,而且也适用于对连续两季作物土壤供氮...

选择描述黄土高原石灰性土壤氮素矿化过程的合适模型,明确可溶性有机氮(soluble organic nitrogen,SON)对矿化模型拟合效果的影响。【方法】采用长期间隙淋洗淹水培养方法,研究了10种黄土高原主要农业土壤在包括和不包括浸提液中有机氮的情况下氮素矿化过程,在此基础上选择①有效积温式;②一级反应式(One-pool模型);③两部分一级反应式(Two-pool模型);④带常数项一级反应式(Special模型)对这两种情况下的氮素矿化曲线进行拟合。【结果】发现4种模型在拟合包括SON的氮素矿化曲线时效果更好。从模型均方根误差、估计标准误差、参数误差以及与作物吸氮量的相关分析等比较发现,One-pool模型拟合效果最差,Two-pool模型和Special模型优于有效积温模型,而Special模型参数精度及与作物吸氮量的相关性更高。【结论】综合比较认为Special模型能较好反映石灰性土壤在淹水条件下的氮素矿化过程。

INVESTIGATION OF BURIED ALN LAYERS FORMED BY NITROGEN IMPLANTATION INTO AL

The composition and microstructure of buried layers of AlN formed by high energy N+ ion implantation into polycrystalline Al have been determined. Both bulk and evaporated thin films of Al have been implanted with 100 and 200 keV N+ ions to doses of up to 1.8 x 10(18)/cm2. The layers have been characterised using SIMS, XTEM, X-ray diffraction, FTIR, RBS and in terms of their microhardness. It is found that, for doses greater than the critical dose, buried, polycrystalline AlN layers are formed with preferred (100) or (002) orientations, which are sample specific. With increasing dose the nitrogen concentration saturates at the value for stoichiometric AlN although the synthesised compound is found to be rich in oxygen.
