Ce掺杂0.9Bi4Ti3O12 - 0.1K0.5Na0.5NbO3铋层状陶瓷结构与性能研究

采用传统固相法制备了CeO2掺杂0.9Bi4Ti3O12–0.1K0.5Na0.5NbO3(BTO-KNN) 铋层状陶瓷材料。系统研究了CeO2掺杂对BTO-KNN基陶瓷物相结构、微观结构以及电性能的影响. 结果表明：所有陶瓷样品均为单一的铋层状结构;BTO-KNN基陶瓷的压电性能随着CeO2的掺杂而显著提高,损耗明显降低。当CeO2掺量为0.75 wt% 时,样品具有最佳的电性能: d33=28 pC/N,介电损耗tan δ=0.29%,机械品质因数Qm = 2897,剩余极化强度Pr = 11.83 μC/cm2,且居里温度 Tc 高达615 ℃;研究结果表明CeO2掺杂0.9Bi4Ti3O12–0.1K0.5Na0.5NbO3铋层状陶瓷是种潜在的高温陶瓷材料。     

Ursodeoxycholate stabilizes phospholipid-rich membranes and mimics the effect of cholesterol: investigations on large unilamellar vesicles

Ichthyophis kohtaoensis, a member of the limbless Gymnophiona, has a specialized subterranean burrowing mode of life and a predominantly olfactory-guided orientation. The only visually guided behavior seems to be negative phototaxis. As these animals possess extremely small eyes (only 540 microm in diameter in adults), functional investigations of single retinal cells by electrophysiological methods have so far failed. Therefore, the content and distribution of retinal transmitters have been investigated as indications for a functioning sense organ in an animal that is supposed to be blind. In this study, the organization and development of the dopaminergic system have been examined in the retinae of embryonic, larval, and adult I. kohtaoensis, by using an antiserum against tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the catecholamine synthetic pathway, and an antiserum against dopamine itself. Labeled somata are situated in the inner nuclear layer and in the ganglion cell layer. Dopamine-positive fibers form a dense diffuse plexus, that covers the whole inner plexiform layer, whereas tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive processes show a tendency to arborize in a stratified manner. Tyrosine-hydroxylase-immunolabeled fibers can occasionally be observed in the optic nerve head of larval stages. During ontogenesis and larval development, the distribution of transmitter-expressing cells changes and their number decreases, but no general degeneration of the visual system is detectable. Adult Ichthyophis still have retinal transmitters, indicating that the eyes, although obviously playing a minor role in a subterranean ecological niche, retain all the elements of functioning sense organs.
