FAIMS separates ions from the volatile organic compounds in the gas-phase as an ion-filter for MS. The sample ions were created at ambient pressure by ion source, which was equipped with a 10.6 eV UV discharge lamp （A=116.5 nm）. The drift tube of FAIMS is composed of two parallel planar electrodes and the dimension is 10 mm×8 mm×0.5 mm. FAIMS was investigated when driven by the high-filed rectangular asymmetric waveform with the peak-to-peak voltage of 1.36 kV at the frequency of 1 MHz and the duty cycle of 30%. The acetone, the butanone, and their mixture were adopted to characterize the FAIMS-MS. The mass spectra obtained from MS illustrate that there are ion-molecular reactions between the ions and the sample neutral molecular. And the proton transfer behavior in the mixture of the acetone and the butanone is also observed. With the compensation voltage tuned from -30 V to 10 V with a step size of 0.1 V, the ion pre-separation before MS is realized.展开更多

Here, we report some brief experimental results on transport measurements for a 14-nm-thick superconducting Nd_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)NiO_(2)/SrTiO_(3) thin-film heterostructure with an onset transition temperature of~9.5 K. Photoluminescence measurements reveal that there is negligible oxygen vacancy creation in the SrTiO_(3) substrate during thin-film deposition and post chemical reduction for the Nd_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)NiO_(2)/SrTiO_(3) heterostructure. It was found that the critical current density of the Nd_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)NiO_(2)/SrTiO_(3) thin-film heterostructure is relatively small, ~4×10^(3) A·cm^(-2). Although the surface steps of SrTiO_(3) substrates lead to an anisotropy for in-plane resistivity, the superconducting transition temperatures are almost the same. The out-of-plane magnetotransport measurements yield an upper critical field of~11.4 T and an estimated in-plane Ginzburg–Landau coherence length of~5.4 nm. High-field magnetotransport measurements up to 50 T reveal anisotropic critical fields at 1.8 K for three different measurement geometries and a complicated Hall effect. An electric field applied via the SrTiO_(3) substrate slightly varies the superconducting transition temperature. These experimental results could be useful for this rapidly developing field.展开更多

Because of the difficulty in establishing histological evidence, his diagnosis is based on a set of arguments established by the International Headache Society. MRI allows indirect visualization of the granuloma and plays a key role in diagnosis and follow-up. Aim: To illustrate High-field MRI contribution in Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS). Cases Presentation: Two patients, a 25-year-old female and a 40-year-old male were recruited in this retrospective case report study at the Radiology service of Fann University Hospital (Dakar Senegal). The first patient has been suffering from a right retro-orbital pain and diplopia for 2 months and the second from a painful oculomotor nerve palsy for 3 months. Blood tests, lumbar puncture, thyroid hormone levels and an infectious screen were done. Screening for converting enzymes, and serum antibodies were also done. They underwent a high field MRI (Siemens 1.5T) with T1, T2, FLAIR, T2*, diffusion B1000, TOF polygon, CISS 3D and T1 gadolinium sequences in the 3 planes space. No significant abnormality was detected in blood tests or CSF analysis. Screening for converting enzymes and serum antibodies screen were also negative. For each patient, MRI examinations showed a non tumoral thickening of the right cavernous sinus, suggesting a granulomatous involvement. Tolosa Hunt Syndrome was evoked firstly. They were put on corticotherapy at high doses with a spectacular regression of symptoms. The Criteria of the International Headache Society of THS were met in both patients. Conclusion: High-field MRI is a significant diagnostic tool in the assessment of painful ophthalmoplegia. It allows a direct visualization of the granuloma of the cavernous sinus and assesses its course throughout the disease.展开更多

Evident increases in the electron temperature at the plasma core region and the plasma stored energy were observed by the HFS beam injection to the plasmas with the line-average electron density of 7.5~ 1019 m-3, which is slightly higher than the plasma cut-off density of 77 GHz EC-waves, 7.35~ 1019 m-3. The heating efficiency evaluated from the changes in the time derivative of the plasma stored energy reached ,,~70%. Although so far it is not clear which is the main cause of the heating effect, the mode-converted EBW or the X-mode wave itself injected from the HFS, an effective heating of high-density plasma over the plasma cut-off of EC-wave was successfully demonstrated.展开更多

The assisting Gaussian laser beam can confine CaF molecules transversely owing to the optical Stark effect. Simulations suggest that the present scheme is superior to previous Stark decelerators. Under typical experimental conditions, when the assisting laser frequency is red-detuned to the molecular transition(λ～606.3 nm) by5.0 GHz and the laser power is about 5.6 W, the proposed decelerator can achieve a total number at the order of 10~4 CaF molecules with a number density at the order of 10~8 cm^(-3). The equivalent temperature of the obtained cold CaF molecules is 2.3 mK. Additionally, the desired assisting laser power can be as low as about 1.2 W if keeping the red-detuning value to be 1.0 GHz, which further suggests its experimental feasibility.展开更多

Her...Highly ordered TiO_2 nanotube arrays(NTAs) on Si substrate possess broad applications due to its high surfaceto-volume ratio and novel functionalities, however, there are still some challenges on facile synthesis. Here, we report a simple and cost-effective high-field(90–180V) anodization method to grow highly ordered TiO_2 NTAs on Si substrate,and investigate the effect of anodization time, voltage, and fluoride content on the formation of TiO_2 NTAs. The current density–time curves, recorded during anodization processes, can be used to determine the optimum anodization time. It is found that the growth rate of TiO_2 NTAs is improved significantly under high field, which is nearly 8 times faster than that under low fields(40–60 V). The length and growth rate of the nanotubes are further increased with the increase of fluoride content in the electrolyte.展开更多

They show Archean Proterozoic (Ar Pt) boundary and geochemical anomalies in Cenozoic basalts. Proterozoic mafic volcanics are enriched in most of the high field strength elements (HFSE) compared with Archean ones. Nb, Ta and Th show a distinct sequence of incompatibility in Archean and Proterozoic. The Cenozoic basalts are enriched in HFSE and Ni and their REEs are strongly differentiated with positive Eu anomalies ( δ (Eu)=1.14). The Ar Pt boundary could be related to change in oxygen fugacity and requires an increasing importance of enriched mantle source. The geochemistry of Cenozoic basalts implies a mantle source similar to OIB. Residuum from subducting partial melting of old basaltic oceanic crust and continental crust is likely to contribute to the formation of the enriched mantle.展开更多

Here, we report some brief experimental results on transport measurements for a 14-nm-thick superconducting Nd_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)NiO_(2)/SrTiO_(3) thin-film heterostructure with an onset transition temperature of~9.5 K. Photoluminescence measurements reveal that there is negligible oxygen vacancy creation in the SrTiO_(3) substrate during thin-film deposition and post chemical reduction for the Nd_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)NiO_(2)/SrTiO_(3) heterostructure. It was found that the critical current density of the Nd_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)NiO_(2)/SrTiO_(3) thin-film heterostructure is relatively small, ~4×10^(3) A·cm^(-2). Although the surface steps of SrTiO_(3) substrates lead to an anisotropy for in-plane resistivity, the superconducting transition temperatures are almost the same. The out-of-plane magnetotransport measurements yield an upper critical field of~11.4 T and an estimated in-plane Ginzburg–Landau coherence length of~5.4 nm. High-field magnetotransport measurements up to 50 T reveal anisotropic critical fields at 1.8 K for three different measurement geometries and a complicated Hall effect. An electric field applied via the SrTiO_(3) substrate slightly varies the superconducting transition temperature. These experimental results could be useful for this rapidly developing field.

Here, we report a simple and cost-effective high-field(90–180V) anodization method to grow highly ordered TiO_2 NTAs on Si substrate,and investigate the effect of anodization time, voltage, and fluoride content on the formation of TiO_2 NTAs. The current density–time curves, recorded during anodization processes, can be used to determine the optimum anodization time. It is found that the growth rate of TiO_2 NTAs is improved significantly under high field, which is nearly 8 times faster than that under low fields(40–60 V). The length and growth rate of the nanotubes are further increased with the increase of fluoride content in the electrolyte.
