We achieved a closed-loop operation of the optical lattice clock based on 87Sr atoms. The linewidth of the spin-polarized clock peak is 3.9 Hz with a clock laser pulse length of 300 ms, which corresponds to a Fourier-limited linewidth of 3 Hz. The fitting of the in-loop error signal data shows that the instability is approximately 5 × 10 15τ-1/2, affected primarily by the white noise. The fractional frequency difference averages down to 5.7 × 10 ^-17 for an averaging time of 3000 s.展开更多

Initially, SrTiO3 was characterized for particle size, morphology and material/ phase identification (using XRD). By varying SrTiO3 content in a standard composite propellant, different compositions were prepared and their performance and processing parameters like the end of mix (EOM) viscosity, mechanical properties, density, burning rate, pressure exponent (n-value), etc. were measured. The results reveal that 2% SrTiO3 causes more than 12% enhancement in propellant burning rate (at 70 ksc pressure) in comparison to the standard propellant composition. The pressure exponent also increases to 0.46, whereas the standard composition was having its value as 0.35.展开更多

The results showed that the addition of strontium could modify the characteristics and properties of both acid function and metal function of Pt-Sn-based cata- lysts. In this case, PtSnSr/HZSM-5 catalyst with an appropriate amount of Sr （1.2%） showed higher catalytic activity and lower amount of coke deposits than PtSn/HZSM-5 catalyst. However, excessive loading of Sr could facilitate the reduction of Sn, which was unfavorable to the reaction. Afterwards, 1.0 m% of Na was added into the PtSnSr（1.2%）/HZSM-5 catalyst to improve the catalytic performance in propane dehydrogenation, and this catalyst displayed the best catalytic performance during our experiments. After having been subjected to reaction for 5 h, the PtSnNa（1.0%）Sr（1,2%）/HZSM-5 catalyst had achieved a higher than 95% selectivity towards propene along with a corresponding propane conversion rate of 32.2%.展开更多

The morphology, crystallinity, absorption, elemental composition and photoluminescence analysis of the bare CsPbI2Br and CsPb1-xSrxI2Br perovskite thin films were studied systematically to investigate the role of Sr2+ incorporation. It is observed that the surface morphology of the CsPbI2Br perovskite thin film has been improved by partial substitution of Pb2+ by Sr2+ which facilitates photoactive black phase-stabilization and defect passivation. The champion device having CsPb0.98Sr0.02I2Br composition exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.61% which is much higher than the bare device (13.65%). Furthermore, our CsPb0.98Sr0.02I2Br-based devices maintain > 85% of its initial efficiency over 100 h in ambient conditions.展开更多

With this Zeeman slower, the strontium atoms are slowed down to 95m/s, and approximately 2% of the total atoms are slowed down to less than 50m/s.展开更多

The phase identification of the powders, performed using x-ray diffraction, shows the presence of purity hexaferrite structure and absence of any secondary phase. The lattice parameters decrease with increasing x. The average grain size of the powders is about 300 nm-400 nm at Al3＋ ion content x = 0-2.0. The room- temperature hysteresis loops of the powders, measured by using vibrating sample magnetometer, show that the specific saturation magnetization （σs） value continuously decreases while the coercivity （Hc） value increases with increasing x, and He reaches to 9759 Oe （1 Oe = 79.5775 A/m） at x = 2.0. According to the law of approach saturation, Hc value increases with increasing Al3＋ ion content, which is attributed to the saturation magnetization （Ms） decreasing more rapidly than the magnetic anisotropy constant （Kl） obtained by numerical fitting of the hysteresis loops. The distribution of Al3＋ ions in the hexaferrite structure of SrAlxFe2n- xO19 is investigated by using 57Co Mtssbauer spectroscopy. The effect of Al3＋ doping on static magnetic properties contributes to the improvement of magnetic anisotropy field.展开更多
