The gi is defined as gi=(ni^0.5-0.91)^4·xi^0.5|Zi^0.5, where Zi, ni, xi are the valence, the outer electronic shell primary quantum number, and the electronegativity of atom i respectively. The good QSPR models for the molar diamagnetic susceptibilities can be constructed from ^0G and ^1G by using multivariate linear regression (MLR) method and artificial neural network (NN) method. The correlation coefficient r, standard error, and average absolute deviation of the MLR model and NN model are 0.9868, 5.47 cgs, 4.33 cgs, 0.9885, 5.09 cgs and 4.06 cgs, respectively, for the 144 inorganic compounds. The cross-validation by using the leave-one-out method demonstrates that the MLR model is highly reliable from the point of view of statistics. The average absolute deviations of predicted values of the molar diamagnetic susceptibility of other 62 inorganic compounds (test set) are 4.72 cgs and 4.06 cgs for the MLR model and NN model. The results show that the current method is more effective than literature methods for estimating the molar diamagnetic susceptibility of an inorganic compound. Both MLR and NN methods can provide acceptable models for the prediction of the molar diamagnetic susceptibilities. The NN model for the molar diamagnetic susceptibilities appears more reliable than the MLR model.展开更多

The measured hygroscopic growth was compared with predictions from the Extended-Aerosol Inorganics Model(E-AIM) and Zdanovskii–Stokes–Robinson(ZSR) method. The equal mass multicomponent WSOCs mixture containing levoglucosan, succinic acid, phthalic acid and humic acid showed gradual water uptake without obvious phase change over the whole RH range. It was found that the organic content played an important role in the water uptake of mixed particles.When organic content was dominant in the mixture(75%), the measured hygroscopic growth was higher than predictions from the E-AIM or ZSR relation, especially under high RH conditions. For mass fractions of organics not larger than 50%, the hygroscopic growth of mixtures was in good agreement with model predictions. The influence of interactions between inorganic and organic components on the hygroscopicity of mixed particles was related to the salt type and organic content. These results could contribute to understanding of the hygroscopic behaviors of multicomponent aerosol particles.展开更多

Then, the effects of CuO addition on the microstructure and temperature dependence of magnetic properties of MnZn ferrites were investigated by characterizing the fracture surface micrograph and measuring the magnetic properties over a temperature ranging from 25 to 120 C. The results show that the lattice constant and average grain size increase with the increase of CuO concentration. When the CuO concentration is below 0.07 wt.%, the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density increase monotonously, and the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a lower temperature with the increase of CuO concentra-tion. However, excessive CuO concentration (0.07 wt.%) results in abnormal grain growth and porosity increase, which causes the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density decrease and the power loss increase at room temperature. Furthermore, the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a higher temperature.展开更多

In this study, the preparation of LAS glasses was achieved at a relatively low melting temperature. The batch containing MgO-ZnO-LiEO- Al2O3-SiO2 was melted in a platinum crucible at 1550℃ for 2 h and was then followed by two- or three-step heat treatment processes for nucleation and crystal growth. The characterizations were carried out by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis-NIR scanning spectrophotometry. The hexagonal stuffed β-eucryptite solid solution crystallized at 840-960℃. Most of the hexagonal β-eucryptite solid solution transformed into the tetragonal β-spodumene solid solution at 1100℃. Almost all the aluminum atoms entered into the tetrahedral sites in the aluminosilicate network of the 6- eucryptite/β-quartz solid solution. All of the Al atoms did not belong to the aluminosilicate network of the β-spodumene solid solution. The glass ceramic with a mean grain size of 10-20 nm is transparent, the transmittance reaches -85% in the visible light wavelength.展开更多

The precursor sol was dipped onto the absorbent cotton, and gel was formed on the absorbent cotton template after the volatilization of moisture. Fe2O3 microtubules were synthesized after the process of self-propagation or calcination. The phase, morphology, and particle diameter of the samples were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the magnetic properties of the samples were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The external diameters of Fe2O3 microtubules ranged between 8 and 13 μm, and the wall thicknesses ranged between 0.5 and 2 μm. The type of the calcination method plays a significant role in developing the Fe2O3 phase and the variation in the magnetic properties in the sol-gel template complexing method. γ-Fe2O3 was synthesized by a self-propagation method. However, α-Fe203 was synthesized after calcination at 400℃ for 2 h. The coercivity of the samples synthesized by calcination at 400℃ for 2 h after self-propagation was found to increase significantly, thereby presenting hard magnetic properties.展开更多

XRD patterns of the samples indicated that the solubility limit of Sr2+ in La2-xSrxM02O9 -δ was in the range of 7 mol.% to 7.5 tool.%, i.e., the maximum stoichiometric coefficient x in La2~SrxMo209_a was larger than 0.14 and less than 0.15. The cubic lattice parameter of La2 xSrxM02Og-δ (0〈x〈4) increased linearly with the content of dopant Sr2+ increasing and the relationship could be expressed as: a=0.7154+0.0045 lx (ram). The total conductivities of Sr-doped La2M0209 were measured by im- pedance spectroscopy method in argon and air atmosphere, respectively. The results indicated that substituting Sr2+ fbr La3+ could suppress the first order phase transform ofLa2M02O9 and stabilize the cubic structure to room temperature, and tile conductivities of Sr-doped La2M02O9 were more sensitive to the change of atmosphere than that of undoped La2M02O9. The conductivity variation of Sr-doped La2M02O9 with the dopant content exhibited similar trend in air and argon atmosphere, firstly decreased and then increased with the dopant content increasing, and a minimum value appeared at x=0.1. The electronic conductivities of Sr-doped La2M02O9 were measured using Hebb-Wagner polarization method in argon atmosphere. It could be found that Sr-doping caused the increase in electronic conductivity and decrease in oxide-ion transport numbers, but the conducting species were predominantly oxide ions. And the oxide-ion transport numbers of some St-doped La2Mo2O9 samples could also reach 0.99.展开更多

Their shape and size could be controlled by varying hydrothermal temperature, time and doping effect of Ce3+ ions. Interestingly, the products displayed hexagonal sheet, plate, crown-like prism to tube changes in the temperature range from 140 to 200 ℃. A combination of "diffusion-controlled growth" and "selective adsorption" was proposed to understand the formation of the NaYF4 crystals with well-defined shapes. NaYF4:yb3+/Er3+ crystals exhibited shape-dependent up-conversion (UC) luminescence under excitation of 980 nm, and their luminescence property could be tuned by doping Ce3+ ions.展开更多

文摘MnZn ferrites with the chemical formula Mn0.68Zn0.25Fe2.07O4 have been prepared by a conventional ceramic technique. Then, the effects of CuO addition on the microstructure and temperature dependence of magnetic properties of MnZn ferrites were investigated by characterizing the fracture surface micrograph and measuring the magnetic properties over a temperature ranging from 25 to 120 C. The results show that the lattice constant and average grain size increase with the increase of CuO concentration. When the CuO concentration is below 0.07 wt.%, the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density increase monotonously, and the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a lower temperature with the increase of CuO concentra-tion. However, excessive CuO concentration (0.07 wt.%) results in abnormal grain growth and porosity increase, which causes the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density decrease and the power loss increase at room temperature. Furthermore, the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a higher temperature.

文摘Lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) glasses are generally difficult to prepare because of their high melting temperature. In this study, the preparation of LAS glasses was achieved at a relatively low melting temperature. The batch containing MgO-ZnO-LiEO- Al2O3-SiO2 was melted in a platinum crucible at 1550℃ for 2 h and was then followed by two- or three-step heat treatment processes for nucleation and crystal growth. The characterizations were carried out by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis-NIR scanning spectrophotometry. The hexagonal stuffed β-eucryptite solid solution crystallized at 840-960℃. Most of the hexagonal β-eucryptite solid solution transformed into the tetragonal β-spodumene solid solution at 1100℃. Almost all the aluminum atoms entered into the tetrahedral sites in the aluminosilicate network of the 6- eucryptite/β-quartz solid solution. All of the Al atoms did not belong to the aluminosilicate network of the β-spodumene solid solution. The glass ceramic with a mean grain size of 10-20 nm is transparent, the transmittance reaches -85% in the visible light wavelength.

文摘Fe(OH)3 precursor sol was prepared by a sol-gel method. The precursor sol was dipped onto the absorbent cotton, and gel was formed on the absorbent cotton template after the volatilization of moisture. Fe2O3 microtubules were synthesized after the process of self-propagation or calcination. The phase, morphology, and particle diameter of the samples were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the magnetic properties of the samples were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The external diameters of Fe2O3 microtubules ranged between 8 and 13 μm, and the wall thicknesses ranged between 0.5 and 2 μm. The type of the calcination method plays a significant role in developing the Fe2O3 phase and the variation in the magnetic properties in the sol-gel template complexing method. γ-Fe2O3 was synthesized by a self-propagation method. However, α-Fe203 was synthesized after calcination at 400℃ for 2 h. The coercivity of the samples synthesized by calcination at 400℃ for 2 h after self-propagation was found to increase significantly, thereby presenting hard magnetic properties.

文摘Sr-doped La2Mo2O9 were prepared by solid state reaction and characterized by XRD, impedance spectroscopy and Hebb- Wagner polarization method. XRD patterns of the samples indicated that the solubility limit of Sr2+ in La2-xSrxM02O9 -δ was in the range of 7 mol.% to 7.5 tool.%, i.e., the maximum stoichiometric coefficient x in La2~SrxMo209_a was larger than 0.14 and less than 0.15. The cubic lattice parameter of La2 xSrxM02Og-δ (0〈x〈4) increased linearly with the content of dopant Sr2+ increasing and the relationship could be expressed as: a=0.7154+0.0045 lx (ram). The total conductivities of Sr-doped La2M0209 were measured by im- pedance spectroscopy method in argon and air atmosphere, respectively. The results indicated that substituting Sr2+ fbr La3+ could suppress the first order phase transform ofLa2M02O9 and stabilize the cubic structure to room temperature, and tile conductivities of Sr-doped La2M02O9 were more sensitive to the change of atmosphere than that of undoped La2M02O9. The conductivity variation of Sr-doped La2M02O9 with the dopant content exhibited similar trend in air and argon atmosphere, firstly decreased and then increased with the dopant content increasing, and a minimum value appeared at x=0.1. The electronic conductivities of Sr-doped La2M02O9 were measured using Hebb-Wagner polarization method in argon atmosphere. It could be found that Sr-doping caused the increase in electronic conductivity and decrease in oxide-ion transport numbers, but the conducting species were predominantly oxide ions. And the oxide-ion transport numbers of some St-doped La2Mo2O9 samples could also reach 0.99.

文摘Hexagonal yb3+,Er3+-doped NaYF4 crystals with different morphologies were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method at 140-200 ℃. Their shape and size could be controlled by varying hydrothermal temperature, time and doping effect of Ce3+ ions. Interestingly, the products displayed hexagonal sheet, plate, crown-like prism to tube changes in the temperature range from 140 to 200 ℃. A combination of "diffusion-controlled growth" and "selective adsorption" was proposed to understand the formation of the NaYF4 crystals with well-defined shapes. NaYF4:yb3+/Er3+ crystals exhibited shape-dependent up-conversion (UC) luminescence under excitation of 980 nm, and their luminescence property could be tuned by doping Ce3+ ions.

文摘A novel method for determination of formaldehyde sulfoxylate, sulfite, thiocyanate, and thiosulfate in foodstuffs by ion chromatography separation with postcolumn derivation and UV detection has been developed. All species are separated at Dionex IonPac AG22A and AS22A with mobile phase of a mixture of 4.5 mmol/L sodium carbonate and 0.8 mmol/L sodium bicarbonate at a flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min. The postcolunm derivation solution was 0.24% iodine in 0.2% phosphate acid and the detection wavelength was set at 288 nm. The detection limits (LOD, signal-to-noise ratio of 3) of formaldehyde sulfoxylate, sulfite, thiocyanate, and thiosulfate were 0.004, 0.006, 0.006, and 0.007 mg/L, respectively. Within-day relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 10) of formaldehyde sulfoxylate, sulflte, thiocyanate, and thiosulfate were 3.24%, 3.76%, 2.68%, and 2.07%, respectively. The recoveries of the four anions were in the range of 67.2-116.5%.
