金属有机化学气相沉积薄膜制备中传热传质的数值模拟

建立水平式GaAs的金属有机化学气相沉积(metal-organic chemical vapor deposition,MOCVD)数学模型, 采用求解压力耦合方程的半隐式(SIMPLE)算法对反应气体流动进行二维数值模拟, 并基于边界层动量、热量与扩散传质的相关理论分析了薄膜制备过程中化学组分的输运, 以及反应前驱物与气相之间的传热过程. 计算所得的GaAs生长速率与实验结果吻合较好. 同时, 数值讨论了反应器进气流量、操作压力以及基底温度对GaAs生长速率的影响. 薄膜生长的速率峰值随入口气体速度的升高而有所增大, 但薄膜生长逐渐趋于不均匀性. 因此, 选取气流速度为0.104 m/s. 薄膜生长速率随着操作压力的增大而增大, 当压力为6 kPa时, GaAs生长速率较压力为2 kPa时提高了223%, 薄膜具有较好的生长速率和均匀性.基底温度对薄膜生长速率影响显著, 在1 050 K时薄膜有良好的生长速率和均匀性, GaAs生长速率比温度为950 K时提高了123%. 研究结果为优化MOCVD反应条件及其反应器的结构设计提供了理论依据.

An enhanced cosmic-ray flux towards zeta Persei inferred from a laboratory study of the H3+-e- recombination rate

The H3+ molecular ion plays a fundamental role in interstellar chemistry, as it initiates a network of chemical reactions that produce many molecules. In dense interstellar clouds, the H3+ abundance is understood using a simple chemical model, from which observations of H3+ yield valuable estimates of cloud path length, density and temperature. But observations of diffuse clouds have suggested that H3+ is considerably more abundant than expected from the chemical models. Models of diffuse clouds have, however, been hampered by the uncertain values of three key parameters: the rate of H3+ destruction by electrons (e-), the electron fraction, and the cosmic-ray ionization rate. Here we report a direct experimental measurement of the H3+ destruction rate under nearly interstellar conditions. We also report the observation of H3+ in a diffuse cloud (towards Persei) where the electron fraction is already known. From these, we find that the cosmic-ray ionization rate along this line of sight is 40 times faster than previously assumed. If such a high cosmic-ray flux is ubiquitous in diffuse clouds, the discrepancy between chemical models and the previous observations of H3+ can be resolved.     

The potential therapeutic role of statins in central nervous system autoimmune disorders

3-Hydroxy-3-methyglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, statins are widely used oral cholesterol-lowering drugs. Statins competitively inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that catalyzes conversion of HMG-CoA to L-mevalonate, a key intermediate in cholesterol synthesis. Certain metabolites of mevalonate are also involved in posttranslational modification of specific proteins involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Thus, statins have important biologic effects that may be independent of their cholesterol-reducing properties. Recent studies indicate that statins have antiinflammatory and neuroprotective properties which may be beneficial in the treatment of multiple sclerosis as well as other central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative diseases. This article will outline current experimental evidence that may suggest potential clinical benefits for patients with CNS autoimmune disorders. Ultimately, clinical trials will have to determine the safety and efficacy of statins in this patient population.Received 17 April 2003; received after revision 21 May 2003; accepted 22 May 2003
