应变纤锌矿ZnO/MgxZn1-xO量子点中离子施主束缚激子的光学性质

Within the framework of the effective-mass approximation and the dipole approximation, considering the three-dimensional confinement of the electron and hole and the strong built-in electric field(BEF) in strained wurtzite Zn O/Mg0:25Zn0:75O quantum dots(QDs), the optical properties of ionized donor-bound excitons(D+, X)are investigated theoretically using a variational method. The computations are performed in the case of finite band offset. Numerical results indicate that the optical properties of(D+, X) complexes sensitively depend on the donor position, the QD size and the BEF. The binding energy of(D+, X) complexes is larger when the donor is located in the vicinity of the left interface of the QDs, and it decreases with increasing QD size. The oscillator strength reduces with an increase in the dot height and increases with an increase in the dot radius. Furthermore, when the QD size decreases, the absorption peak intensity shows a marked increment, and the absorption coefficient peak has a blueshift. The strong BEF causes a redshift of the absorption coefficient peak and causes the absorption peak intensity to decrease remarkably. The physical reasons for these relationships have been analyzed in depth.     

社交网络中基于网络结构支撑模型的谣言传播研究

结合结构支撑理论，探究节点网络结构支持力的一些性质，提出了社交网络结构中的全网支持力和被支持力的总量一致性，并进一步提出计算节点支持力的方法。谣言作为特殊信息，在支持力不同节点之间的传播特性有所不同，借鉴随机游走模型中的PageRank计算方法，对不同节点支持力的谣言传播以及传播后的辟谣状况进行了仿真模拟，结果表明支持力不同的节点对于谣言传播和辟谣影响明显。     

核桃雄花中总多酚提取工艺的研究

采用单因素和正交试验研究核桃雄花中多酚类物质的最佳提取工艺条件。通过对4种不同溶剂(无水乙醇、甲醇、丙酮和乙酸乙酯)在相同试验条件下的浸提效果比较发现,甲醇是核桃雄花中总酚类物质的最佳提取试剂。然后分别采用常规水浴浸提法和超声波辅助浸提法对甲醇体分数、浸提温度、浸提时间和料液比等因素进行研究,在确定最佳单因素水平的基础上,再利用正交试验优化以甲醇为浸提剂的提取工艺条件,试验得出超声波辅助浸提法具有用时短、总多酚提取量高的优点,其最佳工艺条件为:料液比1∶30(g/m L)、甲醇溶液体积分数30%、温度70℃、浸提时间10 min。在此条件下,核桃雄花中的总多酚含量可达6.56%,明显高于其他条件下的。
