The microstructure and magnetic properties of Ca2+ ion doped GdCrO3

In this paper, the crystal structure, vacancy defect, local electron density and magnetic properties of Gd_1-xCa_xCrO₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) polycrystalline samples were investigated systematically. The crystal structural analyses show that all the samples are orthorhombic phase and a structural distortion happens around x = 0.3. Due to the formation of Cr⁴⁺ ions, both the lattice constant and the Cr–O bond length decrease. The results of positron annihilation spectrum reveals that the vacancy defect concentration increases and the local electron structure changes with the introduction of Ca²⁺ ions. The field-cooled (FC) and zero-field cooled (ZFC) curves of Gd_1-xCa_xCrO₃ samples measured under H = 100 Oe exhibits negative magnetization characteristics due to the interaction between Gd³⁺ and Cr³⁺ ions, and the magnetism can be affected by the structural distortion.     

Nickel/Cobalt nanoparticles for electrochemical production of hydrogen

The electrolytic production of hydrogen (POH) from alkaline water electrolysis is at the forefront of technology for alternative energy sources of the future. The present work evaluates the improvement of electro-catalytic activity (ECA) on Ni electrodes for the POH by electrodeposition of cobalt (Co). Tests were conducted in alkaline solution and the ECA of Ni and Ni–Co electrodes for the POH were compared using alternative and direct current techniques. Tafel polarization tests exemplified a significant improvement in the ECA of the bimetallic electrode (Ni–Co) compared with the Ni-electrode. Besides, the bimetallic electrode required less input overpotential energy (η) for the given POH rate under constant current density. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed a significant increase in the number of electrochemical active sites and changed the surface morphology following the electrodeposition of Co over Ni electrodes.     

Evaluation of antibacterial protein with antioxidant activity from Rahnella aquatilis L103 and its effect on beef during refrigerated storage

A strain, Rahnella aquatilis L103, which was isolated from the soil around the roots of mushrooms, produced antibacterial protein though fermentation. This protein has broad antibacterial spectrum towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The protein has a significant antioxidant capacity on scavenging ABTS^+· (82.5%, 120 μg mL⁻¹), DPPH^· (64.1%, 600 μg mL⁻¹) and OH^· (60.1%, 750 μg mL⁻¹) as well. The protein was considered to be safe within concentration of 150 μg mL⁻¹ as shown by MTT results and was applied to beef refrigerated preservation. The treatment group presented lower total viable counts (TVC), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA), meanwhile, higher sensory score and longer shelf life (2 days) compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The results indicated that the protein under safe concentration was beneficial to beef preservation.     

扫描隧道显微镜钨针尖的制备与表征

采用直流电化学刻蚀方法制备扫描隧道显微镜钨针尖,研究了电化学刻蚀过程中NaOH溶液浓度、钨丝浸入长度和刻蚀电压对针尖形貌的影响。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)测量针尖曲率半径和针尖纵横比值,以表征针尖的尺寸和形状;通过能谱仪(EDS)分析针尖表面成分,以表征表面清洁度;通过场发射显微镜(FEM)得到Fowler-Nordheim (F-N)曲线来检测针尖发射性能。实验结果表明,当溶液浓度为2 mol/L、钨丝浸入长度为4 mm、刻蚀电压为3 V时,可以得到曲率半径约为100 nm、纵横比值为13的针尖,且表面无钨的氧化层。FEM结果显示当对针尖施加500 V的负偏压时,针尖可以稳定发射50 nA量级的电流,且针尖性能具有良好的一致性。

氟化石墨烯是一种石墨烯衍生物,在润滑材料、电子器件等领域具有广阔的应用前景。采用回流搅拌并水热还原的方法制备氟化石墨烯,并在不加HF的情况下以同样的方式制备了水热还原的还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、透射电镜(TEM)等对样品进行形貌观测和表征。FTIR的结果表明氟化产物中含有C-F键和部分未完全还原的含氧基团;由XRD谱可以看出,产物晶型较差,其层间距和原料的性质有关;Raman谱证实了石墨烯的基本结构依然存在,但也存在大量缺陷,并且rGO比FGS的规整度略高;XPS谱表明样品表面有氟元素的存在,意味着FGS制备成功;TEM结果显示该样品为单层和少层。该方法操作简单、原料廉价易得、工艺要求不高,适用于批量生产氟化石墨烯。

Estimation of Antenna Correlation Coefficient of N-Port Lossy MIMO Array

This paper proposes a simple yet accurate method for estimating the antenna correlation coefficient (ACC) of a high-order multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna. The conventional method employed to obtain the ACC from three-dimensional radiation patterns is costly and difficult to measure. An alternate method is to use the S-parameters, which can be easily measured using a network analyzer. However, this method assumes that the antennas are highly efficient, and it is therefore not suitable for lossy MIMO antenna arrays. To overcome this limitation, we define and utilize the non-coupled radiation efficiency in the S-parameter-based ACC formula. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by the simulation results of a 4-port highly coupled lossy MIMO array. Further, the proposed method can be applied to N-port arrays by expanding the calculation matrix.
