Structure Refinement of the Icosahedral AlPdMn Quasicrystal Using Quantitative CBED

0　IntroductionQuasicrystals are a form of matter that differs fromother two forms, crystalline and amorphous, bypossessing a quasiperiodic translational order and a non crystallographic orientational order. The atomic structureof quasicrystals is now mostly understood by means ofhigh dimensional crystallography. In this scheme the pe riodicity is recovered in a six dimensional (6D) space forstructures presenting icosahedral symmetry. The periodicspace decomposes into two subspaces: the pa…

Fabrication and Photocatalytic Characteristics of TiO2 Films on Silicon Substrates

Silicon ( 111 ) and Silicon (100) have been employed for fabrication of TiO2 films by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Titanium (Ⅳ) isopropoxide (Ti[O (C3H7)4 ])was used as a precursor. The as-deposited TiO2 films have been characterized with Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The photocatalytic properties were investigated by decomposition of aqueous orange Ⅱ. The crystalline and structural properties of TiO2 film had crucial influences on the photodegradation efficiency. For MOCVD in-situ deposited films on Si substrates, thephotoactivities varied following a shape of “M”: At lower (350 ℃ ) middle (500 ℃) and higher (800 ℃) temperature of deposition, relative lower photodegradation activities have been observed. At 400 ℃ and 700 ℃ of deposition, relative higher efficiencies of degradation have been obtained, because one predominant crystallite orientation could be obtained as deposition at those two temperatures, especially a single anatase crystalline TiO2 film could be obtained at 700 ℃ growth.     

Synthesis and characterization of nano/micro-structured crystalline germanium dioxide with novel morphology

Nano/micro-structured germanium oxide （GeO2） was prepared using GeCl4 and KOH by a simple solution method in alkalic alcoholic solution. Different morphologies of GeO2 were obtained by changing the reaction conditions. The effects of the reaction time, the concentration of the reactants, the reaction temperature and the dispersant upon the morphology of the deposited GeO2 have been investigated. The products were detected by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, atomic force microscope （AFM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and transmission electron microscope （TEM）. Novel cross-like structures were obtained by using n-butylamine as the dispersant. The formation of the cross-like structures has been discussed and a solution-liquid-solid （SLS） mechanism was proposed.     

A Novel Polymethyl Methacrylate （PMMA）TiO2 Nanocomposite and Its Thermal and Photic Stability

A new kind of polymethyl methacrylate （PMMA）-TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized through polymerization. The thermal and photic stability of this PMMA TiO2 nanocomposites were investigated. The as prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, UV-Vis spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis （DTA） and the photo-induced weight loss, The results show that the photostability of the PMMA-TiO2 nanocomposite is higher than that of the pure PMMA under UV-light irradiation, The weight loss of the pure PMMA reaches 30 % after 300 h UVirradiation, while the composite only 0.3% under the identical experimental condition. The glass transition temperature （TR） of pure PMMA is only 80℃, while the Tg of the composite reaches 258℃. Compared with pure PMMA, the thermal stability of the composite is greatly enhanced.     

NMR Revealed Activated Alumina-Water Interaction

Three different spin-lattice relaxation times ( T1 ) of water were obtained in activated alumina-water slurry system, which indicate that there exist three states of water: bound water, pore water and bulk water. The chemical shift (δ11) decreases as the amount of water added to the system increases due to the differences in contribution of these three states of water in the samples. The δ11 value for adsorbed water decreases nearly linearly and T1 increases with elevating temperature, which result from the decrease in the content of bound water by the increase in thermal motion.     

Measurement of Magnetization Curve and Magnetic Relaxation for 2H-NbSe2 Crystals

The characteristics of electronic transport properties: behaviors of magnetization curve and magnetic relaxation of a typical normal superconductor 2H-NbSe2 are investigated. The results show that Tc and △Tc of the samples are 7. 2,0. 18 K, indicating that superconducting energy gap at zero temperature is 1. 1 meV. No fish tail shape is found in the magnetization curves at several temperatures. The relationship between remnant magnetic moment and time reveals that the magnetic flux creep of the sample agrees with the Kim-Anderson thermal activation model with the relaxation rate S=0.000 36 at T=6 K.

Atomic Decompositions of Weak Hardy Spaces of B-Valued Martingales

The atomic decompositions of weak Hardy spaces of Banach-space-valued martingales are given. With the help of the atomic decompositions, some inequalities for B-valued martingales are established in the case 0〈r≤1. Here the results are connected closely with the p-uniform smoothness and q-uniform convexity of Banach spaces which the martingales take values in.     

An Improved Genetic Algorithm for Problem of Genome Rearrangement

In view of the fact that the problem of sorting unsigned permutation by reversal is NP-hard, while the problem of sorting signed permutation by reversal can be solved easily, in this paper, we first transform an unsigned permutation of length n,π （π1 ,… ,πn）, into a set S（π） containing 2^n signed permutations, so that the reversal distance of π is equal to the reversal distance of the optimal signed permutation in S（π）. Then analyze the structural features of S（π） by creating a directed graph and induce a new computing model of this question. Finally, an improved genetic algorithm for solving the new model is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed model and algorithm is very efficient in practice.

QSPR between Physical-Chemical Properties and Molecule Parameters of Alkanes

A set of molecule parameters, namely, N, N′, p, q, n, were used to express the structures of alkanes. A correlative model was established between certain physical-chemical properties and molecular parameters of alkanes by regression method. Eight physical-chemical properties, such as evaporation heat （△vHm^20）, density（D^20 ）, capacity （C^20）, surface tension （δ^20）, boiling point （Tb）, critical temperature（Tc）, critical pressure（Pc） and critical volume（Vc）, of fifty-six C3-C16 alkanes were calculated directly from the model in this paper. The calculated values are in good accordance with the literature ones reported for alkanes, and the correlation coefficients （R） equal or exceed 0.99 . The research results indicate that the principle of the method is simple and clear, the method is practical, the correlativity is excellent, and the predicted data are credible.     

An efficient certificateless ring signature scheme

To overcome the drawbacks such as high computational cost, unreasonable security model and long signature length in existing certificateless ring signature schemes, we propose an efficient certificateless ring signature scheme in this paper. Our construction is inspired by some efficient ID-based ring signature schemes, and uses bilinear pairings as a basic tool. Using a reasonable security model, the unforgeability of the proposed scheme is proven based on the intractability of the computational Diffie-Hellman （CDH） problem. The signature length of the new scheme is only ｜G2｜＋n｜G1｜ （｜Gi｜ is the bit length of an element in group Gi, i =1, 2）. Compared with other existing certificateless ring signature schemes, the newly proposed scheme has a shorter signature length and is more efficient and practical.

Preparation and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4/TiO2 composite films

Using （Ti（OC4H9）4） and metal chlorates as starting materials, CoFe2O4/TiO2 composite films were prepared by sol-gel method. The effects of heat treatment temperature and pH of the precursor on microstructure and magnetic properties were studied. The phase structure of the samples was examined by X-ray diffraction. The microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope and polarized microscope. The magnetic property was measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The results show that the crystals of different phases grow up independently. CoFe2O4 is uniformly embedded into the TiO2 matrix in the prepared composite films, and the growth of composite films is dependent on the heat treatment temperatures and PH of the precursor. The average size of CoFe2O4 crystal is 19 nm in Nanocomposite film prepared when the heat treatment temperature is 800℃ and the pH of the precursor is between 2 and 3. The magnetism of the composite films is enhanced as the heat treatment temperature increases.
