The energy gain of a few10kJ=mol is sufficient for the entropic stabilization of a disordered solid solution phase, in competition with ordered crystalline intermetallic phases.At lower temperatures,the importance of the entropy term for the phase stabilization is reduced. However,unfavorable kinetics with sluggish atomic dif-fusion hinders phase transformations so that the simple high-temperature structure of a disordered solid solution isretained down to low temperatures as a quenched meta-stable state,whereas ultrafine crystallites of intermetallic phases may precipitate at the nanometric scale within the simple matrices.The low-temperature physical properties of such an out-of-equilibrium state are difficult to predict.It is not clear whether the physical properties of an HEA are just a compositional average of properties of constituent elemental phases (i.e.,a “cocktail ”effect)or whether they depend on a particular distribution of chemical elements on the HEA lattice.A related question is whether the mixing of elements on a HEA lattice is completely random or some preferential chemical environments form on the scale of nearest neighbor atoms that consequently govern the physical properties.The number of possible HEAs is virtually unlimited.Examples are HEAs derived within the systems Al-Si-Co-Cr-Cu-Fe-Mn-Ni-Ti [1,2],W-Nb-Mo-Ta-V [6],and Ta-Nb-Hf-Zr-Ti [7].Most existing studies are focused on the relationship between phase,microstructure,and mechani-cal properties [1,2,6–11].A highly disordered lattice scatters electron and lattice waves,which results in reduced electrical and thermal transport similar to bulk metallic glasses [8].HEAs that contain magnetic transition elementsalso show rather standard paramagnetism or ferromagnet-ism [12,13].In this paper,we report that a five-component HEA derived within the Ta-Nb-Hf-Zr-Ti system shows a spectacular property of type II superconductivity,not observed before in any of the investigated HEAs.In the investigation of the Ta-Nb-Hf-Zr-Ti system,structural and mechanical properties of a HEA with equimolar ratio of the elements,Ta 20Nb 20Hf 20Zr 20Ti 20,were presented before [7].Our HEA had quite different composition and was produced from high-purity raw materials,which were arc molten and cast into a cylindrical copper mold.The so produced rod was recast in a zone-melting setup at a feed rate of 5mm =h at about 2300°C under 400-mbar Ar atmosphere.The final ingot consisted of a single phase with grain sizes of 200–300μm.The x-ray diffraction (XRD)pattern obtained with Cu K α1radiation is shown in Fig.1,where all diffraction peaks have been identified to belong to a bcc phase.The XRD peaks are quite broad,revealing a distorted lattice with an average bcc structure.This distortion originates from different atomic radii of the constituent elements (Table 1),where the atomic radius mismatch between the largest (Zr)and the smallest (Ti)element amounts to 2ðr Zr −r Ti Þ=ðr Zr þr Ti Þ¼9%.This is below the glass-forming criterion,where it is considered that atomic radius mismatch Δr=r greater that 12%between elements of a multicomponent mixture leads to lattice distortions large enough that the energy for retaining the crystalline con-figuration is too high and the amorphous disorder is energetically preferred [14].The lattice parameter was determined to be a ¼3.36ð2ÞÅ.Energy-dispersive spec-trometer analysis yielded an average composition of Ta 34Nb 33Hf 8Zr 14Ti 11(in at.%),and there was some small compositional variation on the μm scale within Æ1at.%for each element.The theoretical lattice parameter of a HEA can be calculated by assuming validity of Vegard ’s rule of mixtures [15],a mix ¼Pi c i a i ,valid for completely random mixing of the elements.Here c i and a i are the atomic fraction and the lattice parameter of the element i .All five elements in our HEA possess a bcc structure just below their melting temperatures,which is preserved down to room temperature (RT)for Ta and Nb,whereas

bcc parameters using the reported thermal expansion coefficients,are given in Table 1,yielding the theoretical value a mix ¼3.359Å.This is in excellent agreement with the experimental value of 3.36Å,indicating random mixing of the elements.The zero-field electrical resistivity ρis shown in Fig.2.ρðT Þexhibits a weak positive temperature coefficient with a RT value of ρ300K ¼46Æ1μΩcm.Below 8K,a sharp drop to a zero-resistivity superconducting (SC)state is observed,whereas the extrapolated normal-state residual resistivity amounts to ρT →0¼36Æ1μΩcm.The magnetic-field dependence of the resistivity in the region of the SC transition in fields up to 9T is shown in the inset of Fig.2.The SC transition temperature is systematically shifted to lower temperatures in increasing fields.The low-temperature magnetic susceptibility χðT Þin a field of 5mT,measured under zero-field-cooling (zfc)conditions,is shown in Fig.3.Below about 8K,a strong diamagnetic response is observed due to Meissner effect and the susceptibility corrected for the demagnetization factor assumes almost the ideal diamagnetic value χ¼−1intrinsic to a superconductor.The isothermal magnetization M ðH Þcurves between 2and 8K in the low-field range up to H ¼50kA =m are shown in the inset of Fig.3.Close to the origin,the M ðH Þrelation is linear with the slope −1,whereas at higher fields,the M ðH Þcurves show minimum and then approach the weakly paramagnetic value of the normal state.This behavior is typical of type II super-conductors.The field value in the minimum was taken as a measure of the lower critical field H c 1.At 2K,the lower critical field amounts to μ0H c 1≈32mT.The specific heat C was measured between RT and 350mK in magnetic fields between 0and 9T.Thelow-temperature C ðT Þbelow 9K for selected fields is shown in Fig.4(a).In zero field,a sharp discontinuous jump of ΔC ðT c Þ¼98Æ2mJ =mol K is observed at the SC transition temperature T c ¼7.27Æ0.07K.Since the lat-tice specific heat does not change at T c ,this difference equals to the change of the electronic specific heat between the SC and the normal states,ΔC ¼C es −C en .The specific heat can be used to determine the volume fraction of the SC phase.In cases when a vortex state or a mixture of the normal and SC states coexist,the presence of normal regions is reflected in a linear term in the specific heat.Assuming that the normal-state low-temperature specific heat is written as C ¼γT þαT 3,where γand αare the electronic and lattice specific heat coefficients,we present specific heats in zero field and 9T in a C=T versus T 2plot in Fig.4(b).The analysis of the normal-state specific heat (in 9T field)below 4.5K with the expression C=T ¼γþαT 2(solid line)has yielded the intercept γ¼8.3Æ0.1mJ =mol K 2and the slope α¼0.14Æ0.01mJ =mol K 4.In contrast,the zero-field specific heat intercepts the vertical axis at C=T ≈0,demonstrating that there is no linear term in the specific heat and that the superconduc-tivity is a bulk effect,where the entire specimen becomes SC below T c .By considering the nature of the SC state of our HEA (e.g.,BCS type or unconventional),the quantity of interest is the ratio ΔC ðT c Þ=γT c ,which assumes a value 1.43within the BCS theory valid for phonon-mediated superconductivity in the weak electron-phonon coupling limit [18].We obtain ΔC ðT c Þ=γT c ¼1.63Æ0.06,which is in reasonable agreement with the BCS prediction,indicat-ing that the investigated HEA is close to a BCS type.The low-temperature zero-field specific heat can be used to check for the presence of an energy gap of width 2Δin the electronic DOS at the Fermi level εF .Within the BCS theory [18],the formation of Cooper pairs leads to a temperature-dependent energy gap 2ΔðT Þ,FIG.2(color online).Electrical resistivity in zero magnetic field between 300and 2K.Magnetic-field dependence of the resistivity in the region of the SC transition for fields up to 9T is shown in theinset.FIG.3(color online).The zfc magnetic susceptibility χ¼M=H in a 5mT field in the region of the SC transition.The inset shows isothermal magnetization M ðH Þin the low-field range at temperatures between 2and 8K.The arrow denotes the lower critical field H c 1at T ¼2K.which is related to the transition temperature T c through 2Δð0Þ=k B T c ¼3.52.The energy required to break up a Cooper pair is about 2Δð0Þ,and hence,the number of pairs broken up is proportional to exp ð−2Δð0Þ=k B T Þ,which leads to an exponential temperature dependence of the specific heat at sufficiently low temperatures.The form predicted by the BCS theory is C es =γT c ¼A exp ð−BT c =T Þ[16],where A and B are two constants whose values depend on the temperature interval used.For the interval 2.5<T c =T <6,they are A ¼8.5and B ¼1.44.The graph ln ðC es =γT c Þversus T c =T should thus be a straight line.The zero-field electronic specific heat C es ¼C −αT 3is shown in this type of graph in the inset of Fig.4(a)for the temperature range 2<T c =T <5.A straight line is indeed observed and the fit yielded the parameter values A ¼7.9Æ0.1and B ¼1.54Æ0.05,which are close to the BCS prediction.The electronic DOS thus contains an energy gap at εF of approximate width 2Δð0Þ≈2.2meV.In an applied magnetic field,the jump in C is system-atically shifted to lower temperatures in higher fields.Using the peak in C as a measure of T c ,we mapped the temperature dependence of the upper critical field H c 2[inset in Fig.4(b)].H c 2ð0Þwas determined from a fit with the empirical formula H c 2ðT Þ¼H c 2ð0Þð1−ðT=T c ÞβÞ,yielding μ0H c 2ð0Þ¼8.15Æ0.05T and β¼1.51.The μ0H c 2ð0Þvalue is far below the Pauli-paramagnetic limit for weak electron-phonon coupling,μ0H c 2¼1.86T c ≈13.5T [19],and supports phonon-mediated superconduc-tivity in our HEA.The lattice specific heat coefficient αyielded the Debye temperature θD ¼ð12π4R=5αÞ1=3¼243Æ5K.The investigated Ta 34Nb 33Hf 8Zr 14Ti 11HEA is thus a type II superconductor with a transition temperature T c ≈7.3K,an upper critical field μ0H c 2≈8.3T,a lower critical field μ0H c 1≈32mT,and an energy gap in the electronic DOS at εF of 2Δ≈2.2meV.Evaluation of different criteria using parameters of the SC state indicates that the investigated HEA is close to a BCS-type phonon-mediated superconductor in the weak electron-phonon coupling limit.The XRD spectrum reveals a distorted bcc lattice with a high degree of chemical (substitutional)disorder so that our HEA classifies as a “dirty ”super-conductor describable by the theory of Anderson [20].Since the lattice parameter a ideally obeys the rule of mixtures,suggesting completely random mixing of the five chemical elements on the bcc lattice,it is interesting to check whether other physical properties obey this rule as well,i.e.,whether a given physical property of the “mixture ”Y mix is a compositional average of the properties Y i of constituent elements,Y mix ¼P i c i Y i .To see that,we evaluate the departure of the experimental values Y exp from the theoretical values Y mix using the expression ðY exp −Y mix Þ=Y mix ¼ΔY=Y mix .The Debye temperature θD is a measure of the lattice dynamics.Taking the literature-reported θD data of the elements [16](Table 1),we obtain ΔθD =θmix D ¼−14%.Since θD is not a precisely defined quantity,this mismatch can be consid-ered small,and the rule of mixtures applies reasonably well to the phonon dynamics of the HEA.In view of the high lattice distortion and large degree of chemical disorder,where elements with largely different masses (181Ta,93Nb,180Hf,90Zr,and 48Ti)are randomly positioned on the bcc lattice,this apparently simple phononic picture of the HEA lattice dynamics is surprising.Considering the electronic degrees of freedom (Table 1),we obtain for the normal-state electronic specific heat coefficient Δγ=γmix ¼51%and the SC transition temperature (recall that all five elements are SC)ΔT c =T mix c¼54%.The mismatch in γand T c is so large that the rule of mixtures is not obeyed even approximately,and the electronic properties are not a “cocktail ”of properties of the constituent elements.Theoretical description of the electronic properties of a HEA is thus a highly complex problem,aggravated by a random local distortion of the lattice and random distri-bution of five or more electronically inequivalentchemicalFIG.4(color online).(a)Low-temperature specific heat C ðT Þfor selected magnetic fields.The inset shows a semilog graph of C es =γT c against T c =T and solid line

lattice.The formation of a SC gap in the electronic DOS at εF contributes to the electronic stabilization of the HEA state at low temperatures,where the entropic stabilization is ineffective,but the electronic energy gain due to the SC transition of the order ðk B T c Þ2=εF ≈10−5meV per electron (for εF of several eV)is too small for the global stabilization of the disordered state,which remainsmetastable.*Corresponding author.jani.dolinsek@ijs.si[1]J.W.Yeh,S.K.Chen,S.J.Lin,J.Y .Gan,T.S.Chin,T.T.Shun,C.H.Tsau,and S.Y

Guangdong Province Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Development and Application,Guangdong Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510650, ChinaReceived 3 March 2020; accepted 28 October 2020Abstract: Zn, Pb, Ga and Ge were separated and recovered from zinc refinery residues by stepwise leaching. In the first stage, by leaching with H2SO4 media, more than 90% of Zn and 99% of Ga were dissolved, leaving 92% of Ge in the leaching residue. In the second stage, by leaching with HCl media, approximately 99% of Pb and less than 2% of Ge were selectively dissolved. Finally, the remaining 90% of Ge was extracted in 1 mol/L NaOH solution by destroying the correlation between SiO2 and Ge. XRD pattern of the leaching residue demonstrated that ZnSO4·H2O, PbSO4 and SiO2 were removed sequentially through the stepwise leaching. The proposed process achieved high recoveries of Zn, Pb, Ga and Ge, thus presenting a potential industrial application.Key words: zinc refinery residues; gallium; germanium; stepwise leaching1 IntroductionGermanium (Ge) and gallium (Ga) areconsidered as strategic metals in many countriesowing to their wide applications in high-tech fieldssuch as semiconductors, optical fibers and solarcells [1−4]. However, geological and mineralogicalstudies have shown that it is difficult to findindependent deposits enriched with Ga and Ge [5,6].Currently, Ga and Ge are mainly extracted fromnon-ferrous metal residues [7−10] or secondaryresources [11,12]. The ZnS ores located inGuangdong province contain relatively highcontents of Ga and Ge [13,14]. Based on theproperties of the raw material, pressure leaching isapplied to treating the minerals for recovering Zn,Ga and Ge. During pressure leaching, almost allZn, Ga and Ge are dissolved in the leachingsolution. Zinc powder is then used as thereducing agent to remove Pb and Fe during thesubsequent purification procedure. Ga and Ge(0.1−0.5 wt.%) are also enriched in Zn refineryresidues, which usually contain large amounts of Pband Fe [15,16].Currently, Ga and Ge are extracted from zincplant residues by hydrometallurgical methodsowing to high economic benefits and lowenvironment pollution [17−19]. However, since Gaand Ge are closely correlated with Fe and Si, therecoveries of Ga and Ge are relatively low. Duringsulfuric acid leaching, the formation of silica gelresults in a deteriorating filtration performanceand significant loss of Ga and Ge [20].

China 31(2021) 555−564 556problem, hydrofluoric acid has been supplemented to sulfuric acid solutions to enhance the leaching rates of Ga and Ge [21]. However, the subsequent defluorination procedure constrains its commercial applications. Alkaline leaching has also been proposed to recover Ga and Ge [22]. Although a relatively high recovery of Ga and Ge is obtained, a large amount of sodium hydroxide is consumed owing to the dissolution of Pb and Si [23]. Organic weak acids provide milder leaching conditions than mineral acids; therefore, they exhibit a high selectivity [24]. LIU et al [25] researched the recovery of Ga and Ge from Zn refinery residues using an oxalic acid solution after selectively removing Cu and Zn in a sulfuric acid solution. Although this method can achieve high leaching rates of Ga and Ge, it is difficult to regenerate the leaching agent, resulting in a high production cost. In general, considering environmental conservation and process efficiency, there is no appropriate technology for the comprehensive recovery of valuable metals, including Zn, Pb, Ga and Ge, from Zn refinery residues.In this study, based on the properties of Zn refinery residues, stepwise leaching is proposed for the comprehensive recovery of Zn, Pb, Ga and Ge from Zn refinery residues. Firstly, Zn and Ga are dissolved in a sulfuric acid solution through controlled suitable leaching conditions, leaving behind Ge and Pb in the leaching residue. The resulting leaching solution can be further processed by adjusting the pH of the leaching solution to a weak acid environment for an effective separation of Zn and Ga. Secondly, Pb is selectively removed in a hydrochloric acid solution based on the complexation between Pb2+and Cl−. Moreover, a PbCl2product can be obtained through cooling crystallization. Finally, Ge is effectively extracted in a sodium hydroxide solution by destroying the embedded correlation between Ge and silica. The stepwise leaching method is a novel technology for the effective recovery of valuable metals from Zn refinery residues, with the potential to be applied on an industrial scale.2 Experimental2.1 MaterialsThe Zn refinery residue was obtained from a Zn metallurgy enterprise located in Shaoguan city, Guangdong province, China. Before conducting leaching, the material was dried, grounded and sieved to a particle size below 100 μm. The main elemental content of the residue was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Table 1 shows that the residue mainly contains Zn, Pb, Fe and Si. The contents of Ga and Ge are 0.15 wt.% and 0.47 wt.%, respectively.Table 1 Main elemental contents of Zn refinery residue (wt.%)Zn Pb Fe Si Ga Ge 5.93 4.18 6.30 12.6 0.15 0.47The main phases of the Zn refinery residue were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). As shown in Fig. 1, the main diffraction peaks were related to some obvious phases, including SiO2, ZnSO4·H2O, PbSO4and ZnFe2O4. No other characteristic peaks corresponding to Ga or Ge phases were detected, owing to their low contents.Fig. 1 XRD pattern of Zn refinery residueFigure 2 shows the SEM image and elemental surface scanning images of the Zn refinery residue. The residue was mainly composed of many tiny dark particles representing SiO2. Some large blocky-shaped particles suggesting various phases were also observed. The brightest particle can be viewed as PbSO4, owing to the enrichment of Pb. Similarly, Fe and Zn were concentrated in some gray particles, confirming the presence of ZnFe2O4. The distributions for Ga and Ge were very sparse due to their low contents.Shuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 31(2021) 555−564 5572.2 Experimental procedureBased on the properties of Zn refinery residue, an environmentally friendly and economical process was proposed for the efficient recovery of Zn, Pb, Ga and Ge. The integrated process flow comprises three procedures, as shown in Fig. 3, namely, Zn and Ga leaching in a H 2SO 4 solution, Pb recovery in a HCl solution, and Ge extraction in a NaOH solution. After Zn and Ga leaching, the pH of the leaching solution was adjusted to weak acid for the separation of Zn and Ga by adding ZnO.During Pb recovery, soluble 24PbClcomplex was transformed into PbCl 2 precipitate through dilution and cooling crystallization. The crystalline mothersolution was regenerated by adding CaCl 2. The pHof the leaching solution obtained from Ge extraction was adjusted to a weak alkaline condition for the separation of Ge and Si by adding HCl. All leaching experiments were performed in a beaker immersed in a water bath with a thermostat, equipped with a magnetic stirrer. All chemical reagents used were analytical grade.Fig. 2 SEM image and main elemental surface scanning images of Zn refinery residueFig. 3 Principal flow sheet for recovering valuable metals from Zn refinery residueShuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 31(2021) 555−564 5582.3 Analytical methodsThe phases of the material and leaching residue were determined using a Rigaku TTRAX-3 X-ray diffraction instrument (40 kV, 30 mA, 10 (°)/min). The contents of the main elements, including Zn, Pb, Fe, Ga, Ge and Si, were determined using an inductively coupled plasma- atomic emission spectrometer (Thermo Electron IRIS Intrepid II XSP). The morphology and chemical composition of the samples were analyzed through SEM−EDS (SEM, JEOL, Ltd., JSM−6360LV).3 Results and discussion3.1 Zn and Ga leaching in H2SO4 solutionOwing to the formation of Ge−silica gel and PbSO4 precipitate in a H2SO4 solution, sulfuric acid leaching mainly focuses on the leaching efficiency of Zn and Ga. Moreover, the separation of Zn and Ga should also be considered after the leaching is completed. The φ–pH diagram for a Zn−Ga−Fe−H2O system has been depicted using the HSC 6.0. As illustrated in Fig. 4, Zn2+, Ga3+and Fe3+ were predominant under the acidic conditions, suggesting that sulfuric acid was an effective leaching agent to extract Zn and Ga. However, Zn, Ga and Fe each presented a different pH of hydrolysis precipitation. The precipitation of Ga3+and Fe3+in the form of Fe(OH)3and Ga(OH)3could occur at a pH above 3.0, while soluble Zn2+ existed in the solution at a pH below 6.0. Therefore, an effective separation of Zn and Ga could be obtained by adjusting the pH of the leaching solution to be 3.0−6.0.Fig. 4φ–pH diagram for Zn−Ga−Fe−H2O system at 25 °C (α(Zn2+)=1, α(Fe3+)=1, α(Ga3+)=0.01)Based on the above analyses, the effect of sulfuric acid concentration on the leaching process was investigated in detail. The other leaching conditions included a liquid solid ratio of 10 mL/g, reaction temperature of 80 °C, and leaching time of 2 h. As shown in Fig. 5, increasing the sulfuric acid concentration to 2 mol/L improved the leaching rate of Ga significantly. The Ga leaching rate approached 100% in a 2 mol/L H2SO4solution. Moreover, large amounts of Zn and Fe dissolved in the leaching solution, whereas the Ge leaching rate was relatively low due to the formation of Ge−silica gel. Therefore, a suitable sulfuric acid concentration of 2 mol/L should be selected for optimal leaching of Zn and Ga.Fig. 5 Effect of H2SO4 concentration on leaching rates of Zn, Fe, Ga and GeTable 2 lists the main elemental content of the leaching residue obtained in a 2 mol/L H2SO4 solution. It can be seen that Zn, Fe and Ga decreased significantly, whereas Pb, Si and Ge increased in the H2SO4 leaching residue. The XRD pattern of the H2SO4 leaching residue is shown in Fig. 6. Compared with the results in Fig. 1, the characteristic peaks of ZnSO4·H2O disappeared and the remaining phases contained ZnFe2O4, SiO2 and PbSO4. Figure 7 presents the SEM image of the H2SO4 leaching residue. Based on the results of the EDS analyses from Table 3, the blocky-shaped particles given by Spots 1 and 2 were confirmed as PbSO4and ZnFe2O4, respectively. These tiny dark particles (Spots 3, 4, and 5) were viewed as an enriching Si phase. More importantly, these enriching Si particles exhibited a high Ge content.Shuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met.

The resulting ZnSO4 solution could be returned to the Zn recovery procedure, while the precipitate was further treated to extract Ga. The precipitate obtained in this study exhibited an amorphous phase structure, as shown in Fig. 8. The contents of Fe and Ga in the precipitate were 30.08 and 1.00 wt.%, respectively, suggesting that Ga in the precipitate was over five times higher than that in the material.Fig. 8 XRD pattern of precipitate obtained from H2SO4 leaching solution3.2 Pb recovery in HCl solutionAfter selective dissolution of Zn, Ga and Fe, the leaching residue was mainly composed of Pb, Ge and Si. Due to the formation of soluble 24Pb(OH)-complex in an alkaline solution, it was necessary to remove Pb before extracting Ge. Based on the complexation between Pb2+and Cl−, HCl was selected as a suitable leaching agent. The distribution curves of the Pb species with different Cl−concentrations were constructed using the Medusa software. As shown in Fig. 9, PbCl2 precipitate predominated under a relatively low Cl−concentration condition, while an increased Cl−concentration was beneficial for the formation ofsoluble 24PbCl-complex. This suggests that Pb recovery should be conducted under larger leaching agent concentration and higher liquid-to-solid ratio conditions. Therefore, the leaching process was performed with a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 mL/g at 90 °C for 2 h. Figure 10 shows the effect of HCl concentration on the leaching rates of Pb and Ge. The leaching rate of Pb enhanced with an increasing HCl concentration from 0.5 to 2 mol/L. Almost all of the PbSO4 dissolved in a 2 mol/L HCl solution, with the Ge leaching rate below 2%.Shuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc.

It can be seen that Ge increased to above 1.37 wt.% in the leaching residue, whereas the content of Pb reduced to below 0.1 wt.%. The main phases of the leaching residue were SiO2 and ZnFe2O4, as shown in Fig. 11. Compared with Fig. 7, Fig. 12 shows that the brightest particles representing the PbSO4 phase were seldom observed. Moreover, there was a close correlation between Ge and Si based on the Ge−Si surface distribution diagram.Fig. 10 Effect of HCl concentration on leaching rates of Pb and GeFig. 11 XRD pattern of HCl leaching residueTable 4 Main elemental contents of leaching residue obtained in 2 mol/L HCl solution (wt.%)Zn Pb Fe Si Ga Ge 1.29 0.078 1.31 30 0.007 1.37Fig. 12 SEM image and Ge−Si surface distribution of leaching residue obtained in 2 mol/L HCl solutionShuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 31(2021) 555−564 561After completion of the Pb leaching, it is necessary to recover Pb from the leaching solution.A 24PbCl -complex can be transformed into PbCl 2 precipitate by decreasing the reaction temperature and Cl − concentration [26]. Therefore, the leaching solution was processed by dilution and cooling. Then, the PbCl 2 product was obtained by liquid −solid separation. The Pb content in the solution lowered from 4.78 to 1.79 g/L, suggesting that approximately 37.4% of Pb remained in the leaching solution. More than 60% of Pb was recovered in the form of PbCl 2, as shown in Fig. 13. The PbCl 2 product containing 74.3 wt.% Pb exhibited a high purity without any additional characteristic peaks. As shown in Fig. 14, after cooling crystallization, the resultingsolution wasregenerated by adding CaCl 2to remove 24SO -byprecipitation reaction between 24SO - and Ca 2+, allowing for the regenerated solution to be used in the subsequent lead removing procedure.Fig. 13 XRD pattern of PbCl 2 product from HCl leaching solutionFig. 14 XRD pattern of precipitate obtained from regeneration of leaching agent3.3 Extraction of Ge in NaOH solutionTo remove silica −germanium gel, NaOH is used as the leaching agent to effectively extract Ge. Leaching experiments were conducted at 80 °C with a liquid solid ratio of 20 mL/g for 2 h. Figure 15 shows the effect of NaOH concentration on the leaching rates of Ge and Si. An increased NaOH concentration significantly improved the dissolution efficiency of Ge and Si. More than 99% of Ge and 90% of Si were dissolved in 1 mol/L NaOH solution. Table 5 lists the main elemental contents of the NaOH leaching residue. Fe and Zn increased inthe leaching residue, whereas Gedecreased to 0.06%. The XRD pattern, shown in Fig. 16, indicates the main phases of the leaching residue to be SiO 2, ZnS and ZnFe 2O 4. ComparedFig. 15 Effect of NaOH concentration on leaching rates of Si and GeFig. 16 XRD pattern of NaOH leaching residueTable 5 Main elemental contents of leaching residue obtained in 1 mol/L NaOH solution (wt.%) Zn Fe Pb Si Ga Ge 6.817.10.117.690.010.06Shuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 31(2021) 555−564562 with Fig. 8, new characteristic peaks of ZnS were observed owing to an increased Zn content in the leaching residue. Figure 17 shows the SEM image and main elemental surface distribution of the alkaline leaching residue. The tiny silica − germanium gel particles dissolved entirely, and the remaining particles, including ZnS, ZnFe 2O 4 and SiO 2, were large, preventing adequate dissolution through atmospheric leaching.Fig. 17 SEM image and main elemental surface scanning maps of leaching residueAfter Ge leaching, it is necessary to separate Ge and Si from the leaching solution owing to the dissolution of SiO 2. According to the φ−pH diagram for the Ge −Si −H 2O system in Fig. 18, Ge −silica gel can be destroyed by promoting the formation ofsoluble 3HGeO - and 3SiO(OH)-in an alkaline solution. After the leaching is complete, the precipitation of Si in the form of amorphous silicon dioxide can occur by adjusting the pH to be 6.0−12.0, allowing for an effective separation of Geand Si. Therefore, in this study, the pH of the alkaline leaching solution was adjusted to be 9.0 by adding 2 mol/L HCl. The Si content in the leaching solution lowered to less than 0.3 g/L, as shown in Table 6, allowing for an excellent Ge −Si separation efficiency. Moreover, Zn, Pb and Fe were also adequately removed. The leaching solution could then be used to recover Ge through precipitation or solvent extraction. The white precipitate obtained from the Ge −Si separation procedure was amorphous silicon dioxide and, therefore, no obvious characteristic peaks were observed, as shown in Fig. 19.Fig. 18 φ−pH diagram for Ge −Si −H 2O system at 25 °C (α(Si 4+)=1, α(Ge 4+)=0.01)Table 6 Main elemental contents of leaching solution adjusted to pH 9.0 (mg/L) Zn Pb Fe Si Ga Ge <0.5 <0.5<0.5268.1<0.5254.1Fig. 19 XRD pattern of white precipitate obtained during Ge and Si separationShuai RAO, et al/Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 31(2021) 555−564 5634 Conclusions(1) More than 90% of Zn and 99% of Ga were leached in a 2 mol/L H2SO4 solution with a liquid–solid ratio of 10 mL/g at 80 °C after 2 h, leaving approximately 92% of Ge in the leaching residue. The content of Ga in the precipitate was over 5 times higher than in the raw material.(2) About 99% of Pb and less than 2% of Ge were dissolved in a 2 mol/L HCl solution with a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 mL/g at 90 °C for 2 h. A PbCl2 byproduct with a high purity was obtained by cooling crystallization.(3) During alkaline leaching, the remaining 90% of the Ge was extracted in a 1 mol/L NaOH solution with a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 mL/g at 80 °C for 2 h. An effective Ge−Si separation was conducted by adjusting the pH of the leaching solution to 9.0.AcknowledgmentsThe authors are grateful for the financial supports from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (51804083, 51704081), the National Key Research and Development Project (2018YFC1903104), the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province, China (2019A1515011628), the Science and Technology Planning Project of Guangzhou (201904010106) of China, and Guangdong Academy of Science Doctor Special Program of China (2020GDASYL-0104027, 2019GDASYL-0105079, 2019GDASYL-0302011, 2019GDASYL-0402003).References[1]FTHENAKIS V, WANG Wen-ming, KIM H C.

What do the numbers given in the table refer to?Spoon-fed feel lost at the cutting edgeBefore arriving at university students will have been powerfully influenced by their school’s approach to learning particular subjects. Yet this is only rarely taken into account by teachers in higher education, according to new research carried out at Nottingham University, which could explain why so many students experience problems making the transition.Historian Alan Booth says there is a growing feeling on both sides of the Atlantic that the shift from school to university-style learning could be vastly improved. But little consensus exists about who or what is at fault when the students cannot cope. “School teachers commonly blame the poor quality of university teaching, citing factors such as large first-year lectures, the widespread use of inexperienced postgraduate tutors and the general lack of concern for students in an environment where research is dominant in career progression,” Dr Booth said.Many university tutors on the other hand claim that the school system is failing to prepare students for what will be expected of them at university. A-level history in particular is seen to be teacher-dominated, creating a passive dependency culture.But while both sides are bent on attacking each other, little is heard during such exchanges from the students themselves, according to Dr Booth, who has devised a questionnaire to test the views of more than 200 first-year history students at Nottingham over a three-year period. The students were asked about their experience of how history is taught at the outset of their degree programme. It quickly became clear that teaching methods in school were pretty staid.About 30 per cent of respondents claimed to have made significant use of primary sources (few felt very confident in handling them) and this had mostly been in connection with project work. Only 16 per cent had used video/audio; 2 per cent had experienced field trips and less than 1 per cent had engaged in role-play.Dr Booth found students and teachers were frequently restricted by the assessment style which remains dominated by exams. These put obstacles in the way of more adventurous teaching and active learning, he said. Of the students in the survey just 13 per cent felt their A-level course had prepared them very well for work at university. Three-quarters felt it had prepared them fairly well.One typical comment sums up the contrasting approach: “At A-level we tended to be spoon-fed with dictated notes and if we were told to do any background reading (which was rare) we were told exactly which pages to read out of the book”.To test this further the students were asked how well they were prepared in specific skills central to degree level history study. The answers reveal that the students felt most confident at taking notes from lectures and organising their notes. They were least able to give an oral presentation and there was no great confidence in contributing to seminars, knowing how much to read, using primary sources and searching for texts. Even reading and taking notes from a book were often problematic. Just 6 per cent of the sample said they felt competent at writing essays, the staple A level assessment activity.The personal influence of the teacher was paramount. In fact individual teachers were the cent re of students’ learning at A level with some 86 per cent of respondents reporting that their teachers had been more influential in their development as historians than the students’ own reading and thinking.The ideal teacher turned out to be someone who was enthusiastic about the subject; a good clear communicator who encouraged discussion. The ideal teacher was able to develop students involvement and independence. He or she was approachable and willing to help. The bad teacher, according to the survey, dictates notes and allows no room for discussion. He or she makes students learn strings of facts; appears uninterested in the subject and fails to listen to other points of view.No matter how poor the students judged their preparedness for degree-level study, however, there was a fairly widespread optimism that the experiencewould change them significantly, particularly in terms of their open mindedness and ability to cope with people.But it was clear, Dr Booth said, that the importance attached by many departments to third-year teaching could be misplaced. “Very often tutors regard the third year as the crucial time, allowing postgraduates to do a lot of the earlier teaching. But I am coming to the conclusion that the first year at university is the critical point of intervention”.Alison Utley, Times Higher Education Supplement.

W hen were X-rays discovered?2. W ho discovered them?3. W hat are the four characteristics of X-rays?The Discovery of X-raysExcept for a brief description of the Compton effect, and a few other remarks, we have postponed the discussion of X-rays until the present chapter because it is particularly convenient to treat X-ray spectra after treating optical spectra. Although this ordering may have given the reader a distorted impression of the historical importance of X-rays, this impression will be corrected shortly as we describe the crucial role played by X-rays in the development of modern physics.X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Roentgen while studying the phenomena of gaseous discharge. Using a cathode ray tube with a high voltage of several tens of kilovolts, he noticed that salts of barium would fluoresce when brought near the tube, although nothing visible was emitted by the tube. This effect persisted when the tube was wrapped with a layer of black cardboard. Roentgen soon established that the agency responsible for the fluorescence originated at the point at which the stream of energetic electrons struck the glass wall of the tube. Because of its unknown nature, he gave this agency the name X-rays. He found that X-rays could manifest themselves by darkening wrapped photographic plates, discharging charged electroscopes, as well as by causing fluorescence in a number of different substances. He also found that X-rays can penetrate considerable thicknesses of materials of low atomic number, whereas substances of high atomic number are relatively opaque. Roentgen took thefirst steps in identifying the nature of X-rays by using a system of slits to show that (1) they travel in straight lines, and that (2) they are uncharged, because they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.The discovery of X-rays aroused the interest of all physicists, and many joined in the investigation of their properties. In 1899 Haga and Wind performed a single slit diffraction experiment with X-rays which showed that (3) X-rays are a wave motion phenomenon, and, from the size of the diffraction pattern, their wavelength could be estimated to be 10-8 cm. In 1906 Barkla proved that (4) the waves are transverse by showing that they can be polarized by scattering from many materials.There is, of course, no longer anything unknown about the nature of X-rays. They are electromagnetic radiation of exactly the same nature as visible light, except that their wavelength is several orders of magnitude shorter. This conclusion follows from comparing properties 1 through 4 with the similarproperties of visible light, but it was actually postulated by Thomson several years before all these properties were known. Thomson argued that X-rays are electromagnetic radiation because such radiation would be expected to be emitted from the point at which the electrons strike the wall of a cathode ray tube. At this point, the electrons suffer very violent accelerations in coming to a stop and, according to classical electromagnetic theory, all accelerated charged particles emit electromagnetic radiations. We shall see later that this explanation of the production of X-rays is at least partially correct.In common with other electromagnetic radiations, X-rays exhibit particle-like aspects as well as wave-like aspects. The reader will recall that the Compton effect, which is one of the most convincing demonstrations of the existence of quanta, was originally observed with electromagnetic radiation in the X-ray region of wavelengths.Reading skills for academic study: Scanning forspecific information.Exercise 2 - AnswersRead the following text quickly and answer the questions.1.

portable x-ray tec

X-ray Technology and Applications UpdateThe invention of the x-ray by Roentgen in 1895 created an amazing step forward in the history of medicine. Today we see X-ray technology used in many different fields as a non-invasive inspection tool and not least in the field of security where x-rays are used for baggage scanning at airports, mailscanning in postrooms, vehicle scanning at border controls and more recently through body x-ray scanners for identifying contraband, weapons and IEDs concealed on a person. For field use, specially adapted portable systems have been developed to meet the different investigative needs of military theatres and national military and civil search.X-ray technology today uses the same basic principles in that x-rays are passed through an object and a latent shadow image is captured on an imaging panel placed behind it. Different materials will absorb different numbers of photons so that the relative densities of the object can be seen as differences in grey scales when viewed on a screen.Pre 9/11 many field based x-ray systems were still operating manual Polaroid film technology where an x-ray source was placed in front of the object requiring scanning and a cassette placed behind. The x-ray generator was manually fired by the operator and then the target area would be reapproached for the film to be retrieved for chemical processing.Although the resulting image was fairly good, it could be quite a time consuming process as the processing itself could take up to 2 minutes and if the development was not carried out in the correct conditions, several attempts were often needed before getting a picture of sufficiently good resolution. Each attempt meant another sheet of Polaroid film which involve significant weight and cost factors when carrying out multiple x-rays of a large target.In addition film had dead areas where edges of cassettes were joined or unexposed and where potentially an IED could go unseen. If dead areas are found additional x-rays need to be taken which increases time on target for EOD personnel.The range of portable x-ray equipment available in the security market is growing. Conventional Polaroid film systems are gradually being replaced by “real time” systems where images are displayed in digital form on a laptop or other portable device.Fundamentally there are 2 primary technologies available off the shelf to upgrade older Polaroid film systems to a digital platform whilst operating the same safe, tried and tested x-ray generators.The first is DR – Direct (Digital) Radiography which use either a rugged CCD X-ray Imager or a very high resolution amorphous silicon (aSi) flat panel imager to capture x-rayimages before sending them directly back to a laptop and the second is known as CR –Computed Radiography which utilises very flexible reusable digital film and an image plate processor that scans the x-ray image onto the laptop via a USB data connection.Each has its own benefits dependent on the requirements of the job but all of the imaging panels described in this article are lightweight and can be handled easily even by someone wearing heavy body armour.If we look first at the picture in overseas theatres such as Iraq and Afghanistan, their needs will be quite different from the requirements of a postal inspector needing to check a suspect package or a special projects team carrying out a room search.The homemade IED is the extremist’s deadliest weapon and our troops' biggest challenge. In 2003 there were 81 recorded IEDs in Afghanistan. In 2009 there were over 8,000. Half of all soldiers killed in Iraq were killed by IEDs and currently in Afghanistan it is two thirds.Early detection (or better, prevention) of IEDs is mission critical which is why current Counter IED methodology is focused on Defeat the Device (finding the weapon and protecting against its effects) Attack the Network (identify what an IED cell looks like so that the networks can be identified and attacked) and Train the Force.Detection of IEDS is a daunting challenge. IEDS are being concealed in everyday items such as drinks cans, toy cars, key rings and mobile phones and can be very easily disguised in rubbish, potholes and craters and a high percentage are frequently spotted by soldiers noticing something doesn’t look right. In this instance x-ray equipment may be deployed as a confirmatory tool or to remotely diagnose the insides of an object without picking it up.In such instances where the equipment is going to be used regularly by someone often operating on foot, for Special Forces a highly portable lightweight system that can be carried in a backpack would be the key requirement. A CCD imaging system also represents a very cost effective solution.A real time CCD x-ray system is combination of camera and x-ray source at the target and laptop or other viewing console at the control point. CCD systems produce a latent x-ray image on photoluminescent screen. A camera sends the image back to the laptop directly down a cable or by wireless transmission and multiple exposures can be made to gain the best possible image without having to return to the target.The most compact and portable solution on the market and one which represents some of the latest improvements in cameras and processing is the Scanwedge system which has a unique flat panel CCD X-ray imager The entire system weighs less than 10kgs in a backpack comprises only 3 components (x-ray generator, image panel and a smallhandheld tablet pc), x-ray investigation of an item can be carried out quickly and rapidly in even the most difficult to access areas. Unlike other CCD systems it does not use a mirror and is extremely rugged and flat.Many CCD systems, including Scanwedge, can be fully integrated onto EOD robots allowing the EOD team to move the x-ray equipment into place as well as controlling the x-ray system over the robot communications link or over wireless communication where applicable.In order to attack the IED network, our military teams need detailed information on the construction and composition of IEDs. Following discovery or activation of an IED every fragment is essential to the forensic team to understand both its makeup and its likely provenance. These teams gather evidence from blasts and each device is reconstructed, replicated and tested.X-ray investigation enables forensic teams to recognise a signature and also to identify patterns in bomb making that may identify a change in tactics or identify components from a common source. Recent investigation of wires, charges and other explosive components used in a series of bombs have indicated materials are being sourced from specific areas which means strategies to block these trade routes can be put into place.Forensic procedures and post blast analysis associated with IEDs do not need to be carried out where the device is found. Therefore ruggedness and portability are less of an issue and image resolution becomes the determining factor.Computed Radiography (CR) systems really come into their own for this type of task.Modern computed radiography, using storage phosphor imaging plates, can be tracedto 1973, when George Luckey, a research scientist at Eastman Kodak Company, filed a patent application titled Apparatus and Method for Producing Images Corresponding to Patterns of High Energy Radia tion. His abstract states, “A temporary storage medium, such as an infrared-stimulable phosphor or thermoluminescent material, is exposed to an incident pattern of high energy radiation.With phosphor imaging plates, you can shoot one image instead of the five or more you may need to shoot on film. That’s because a phosphor imaging plate has ten times the dynamic range of film.Unlike DR systems where the x-ray image transmits directly to the laptop, CR imaging plates need to be manually retrieved and fed through an image plate processor before the image can be viewed. For post blast investigation this time factor is less of a concern. In all types of EOD tasks, in theatre or otherwise there will be the requirement to identify the type of IED/UXO in question and discern the makeup and location of thecomponent parts within the device in order to carry out a render safe procedure. For this application a CR system is also ideal. Where an IED/EOD team has a vehicle, the resolution provided by a CR or aSi x-ray system is often of greater relevance than the cost, weight or rugged factor of a CCD system.The real benefit of a CR system is that the imaging plates are extremely flat and flexible and can be taped onto any flat surface. In addition, multiple imaging plates can be taped together to x-ray a larger object in a single x-ray exposure. More importantly CR x-ray systems can produce extremely high resolution images with pixel sizes down to 50 microns and capable of seeing 10 line pairs which is critical for the forensic analysis and for render safe procedures. In addition, Extra clarity makes detection much faster, easier and leads to a real reduction in false alarmsThe national terrorist threat has evolved rapidly since the events of 9/11 and the emphasis on traditional targets such as military bases has shifted. Any public area, building or event where large numbers of people congregate is now considered a viable target.More typically, IEDs are placed inside a building and secreted in places with relatively easy access including toilet facilities, reception areas, hallways and stairwellsThe primary use of portable x-ray equipment in these scenarios is to help military, police or specialist forces examine inside suspect packages. A suspect package could be a parcel left in a reception area, a suitcase left unattended at airport, a sports bag left by the side of the road or any object that is unexpected or looks out of place in its surroundings. Early identification of bags that do not represent a threat and eliminating those false alarms is essential.The deployment of large numbers of military teams in Iraq and Afghanistan means that traditional EOD resources in some countries are vastly overstretched, so that the responsibility for the search and detection of suspicious bags and packages is often passed to the police and to individual premises managers. Of the Quarter of a million suspect packages found on the railway system in the UK less than 1% will need attendance by bomb disposal squads, which again demonstrates the importance of x-ray screening by police and civil security teams.Context, location and deployment all come into the equation when selecting the correct x-ray system for operation.In the USA, Postal inspectors are trained to screen suspicious mail for IEDS. They are performing regular confirmatory actions and carry conventional realtime CCD based x-ray systems on their vehicles which mean they can usually resolve incidents without tying up valuable first responder resources.For fast deployment on foot to perform a simple confirmation of a package or bag’s contents a lightweight CCD x-ray system is normally the most applicable.For a vehicle, building and room search requiring more indepth information a CR system may be more suited to the job. The image plates used with CR x-ray system are able to flex around corners. They can be taped onto walls, or be placed in overhead plane luggage bays, for example, come in a range of sizes, and can be combined on a freestanding mount for checking large items such as suitcases. The dynamic range is such that even a tiny wire hidden inside a wall or ceiling cavity would be visible.Unlike Polaroid film, digital x-ray plates have a 100% active area so a complete and accurate picture of the entire contents can be taken. and can be mounted in multiple configurations to cover a large area. Flexible plates can be wrapped around pipes or bent over an aircraft wing.Image plates are scanned in individually and the software seamlessly stitches them together into a single large format image so that single large items such as a suitcase or a wall area can be checked in a single scan.Where there is a risk of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) material being present in an IED additional precautions are required and in these instances an Amorphous Silicon or aSi flat panel system would be the most applicable tool for this job.Large area aSi imaging systems have a dynamic range so high it allows penetration and details previously unavailable. Their high resolution 143 micron pixel size will capture the finest detail of wiring or circuitry with a fast readout times of 1 second. Such systems can be backpacked for lightscale operations.To provide information on organics which are helpful to CBRNE responders, Asi panels can be used with Dual energy modules fitted onto a pulsed x-ray source. Dual energy allows x-rays to be measured in two different energies, which the x-ray separates into different colours to enable bomb responders to identify and differentiate organic and inorganic materials.The image processing software used to control, view and manipulate digital x-ray images is just as important as the imaging panels them. Today’s powerful image visualization software lets you focus on suspect areas and draw out details. With fewer images to examine and the ability to adjust them, a more thorough analysis is possible. Some x-ray systems are provided with imaging software proprietory to the imaging panel so that security teams operating more than 1 type of x-ray equipment often have to learn different software programs. Other software platforms such as Scanview from Scanna will operate across the entire range of x-ray imaging panels (CCD, CR and aSi) so that training requirements are greatly reduced.Scanview software is so intuitive that you can quickly master it. The X-ray image is saved within an incident record. The image file encompasses other key information such a User Name, Date, Time, Place, Type of X-ray source used, KV, Exposure time, Description, etc. The image is saved in the System Database which can be queried and sorted for fast image retrieval using any of the parameters. As the images are digital files they are easily stored & transferred to colleagues by email, CD, memory stick or even across the internet.The x-ray image data is used in a number of ways including the analysis of X-ray data for identification of explosives/initiators/booby traps, to produce technical reports on findings and develop device profiles and to maintain and document chain of custody of x-ray data.It is clear that x-ray technology available today is a quantum leap from the very first x-ray Roentgen took over a century ago and that there are many considerations to make when selecting a system. What is also clear that whatever the demands of the job, whether you need a lightweight system, a system with flexible plates, a high performance system with a wide dynamic range, a system that will operate off vehicle power or an x-ray product capable of dealing with CBRNE requirements, there are systems available off the shelf to meet those needs.。

Through the use of O-ring and one-way sealing, a simple and effective design concept has been demonstrated, and an inert-gas/vacuum sealing air-free X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) in-situ transfer module has been developed to realize the XPS analysis of air sensitive materials. The design of one-way sealing was achieved conveniently by switching between inert-gas and vacuum sealing modes in face of different working requirements. The XPS analysis of air-sensitive metal Li sheets and CuCl powders showed that both the sealing modes (an inert-gas/vacuum sealing) of the XPS in-situ transfer module can effectively avoid air contact on the sample surface, and consequently, can ensure the accuracy and reliability of XPS data. Furthmore, the inert gas sealing mode can keep the sample air-free for a longer time. The homemade XPS in-situ transfer module in this work is characterized by a compact design, convenient operation, low cost and effective sealing, which is suitable for the open access to the users who need it.收稿日期:2022−12−07; 修订日期:2023−01−17.基金项目:中国科学院化学研究所仪器孵化项目[Instrument and Device Functional Developing Project of Institute of Chemistry Chinese Academy of

sealingX射线光电子能谱(XPS)是一种表面灵敏的分析技术,通常用于固体材料表面元素组成和化学态分析[1]. 作为表面分析领域中最有效的方法之一,XPS广泛应用于纳米科学、微电子学、吸附与催化、环境科学、半导体、冶金和材料科学、能源电池及生物医学等诸多领域[2-3]. 其中在催化和能源电池材料分析中,有一些样品比较特殊,比如碱金属电池[4-6]、负载型纳米金属催化剂[7-8]和钙钛矿材料[9]对空气非常敏感,其表面形态和化学组成接触空气后会迅速发生改变,直接影响采集数据的准确性和有效性,因此这类样品的表面分析测试具有一定难度. 目前,常规的光电子能谱仪制样转移过程通常是在大气环境中,将样品固定在标准样品台上,随后放入仪器进样室内抽真空至1×10−6 Pa,再转入分析室内进行测试. 这种制备和进样方式无法避免样品接触大气环境,对于空气敏感材料,其表面很容易与水、氧发生化学反应,导致无法获得材料表面真实的结构信息.为了保证样品表面状态在转移至能谱仪内的过程中不受大气环境影响,研究人员采用了各种技术来保持样品转移过程中隔绝空气. 比如前处理及反应装置与电子能谱仪腔室间真空传输[10-12]、外接手套箱 [13-14]、商用转移仓[15-16]、真空蒸镀惰性金属比如Al层(1.5~6 nm)[17]等. 尽管上述技术手段有效,但也存在一些缺点,例如配套装置体积巨大、试验过程不易操作、投入成本高等,这都不利于在普通实验室内广泛应用. 而一些电子能谱仪器制造商根据自身仪器的特点也研发出了相应配套的商用真空传递仓,例如Thermofisher公司研发的一种XPS 真空转移仓,转移过程中样品处于微正压密封状态,但其价格昂贵,体积较大,转移过程必须通过手套箱大过渡舱辅助,导致传递效率低,单次需消耗至少10 L高纯氩气,因此购置使用者较少,利用率低.另外有一些国内公司也研发了类似的商品化气体保护原位传递仓,采用微正压方式密封转移样品,但需要在能谱仪器进样室舱门的法兰上外接磁耦合机械旋转推拉杆,其操作复杂且放置样品的有效区域小,单次仅可放置尺寸为3 mm×3 mm的样品3~4个,进样和测试效率较低. 因此,从2016年起本实验团队开始自主研制XPS原位样品转移装置[18],经过结构与性能的迭代优化[19],最终研制出一种正负压一体式无空气XPS原位转移仓[20](本文简称XPS原位转移仓),具有结构小巧、操作便捷、成本低、密封效果好、正压和负压密封两种模式转移样品的特点. 为验证装置的密封时效性能,本工作选取两种典型的空气敏感材料进行测试,一种是金属Li材料,其化学性质非常活泼,遇空气后表面迅速与空气中的O2、N2、S等反应导致表面化学状态改变. 另一种是无水CuCl粉末,其在空气中放置短时间内易发生水解和氧化. 试验结果表明,该XPS 原位转移仓对不同类型的空气敏感样品的无空气转移均可以提供更便捷有效的密封保护. 目前,XPS原位转移仓已在多个科研单位的实验室推广使用,支撑应用涉及吸附与催化、能源环境等研究领域.1 试验部分1.1 XPS原位转移仓的研制基于本实验室ESCALAB 250Xi型多功能光电子能谱仪器(Thermofisher 公司)的特点,研究人员设计了XPS原位转移仓. 为兼顾各个部件强度、精度与轻量化的要求,所有部件均采用钛合金材料.该装置从整体结构上分为样品台、密封罩和紧固挡板三个部件,如图1(a)~(c)所示. 在密封罩内部通过单向密封设计[图1(e)]使得XPS原位转移仓实现正负压一体,实际操作中可通过调节密封罩上的螺帽完成两种模式任意切换. 同时,从图1(e)中可以直观看到,密封罩与样品台之间通过O圈密封,利用带有螺钉的紧固挡板将二者紧密固定. 此外,为确保样品台与密封罩对接方位正确,本设计使用定向槽定位样品台与密封罩位置,保证XPS原位转移仓顺利传接到仪器进样室.XPS原位转移仓使用的具体流程:在手套箱中将空气敏感样品粘贴至样品台上,利用紧固挡板使样品台和密封罩固定在一起,通过调节密封罩上的螺帽将样品所在区域密封为正压惰性气氛(压强为300 Pa、环境气氛与手套箱内相同)或者负压真空状态,其整体装配实物图如图1(d)所示. 该转移仓结构小巧,整体尺寸仅52 mm×58 mm×60 mm,可直接放入手套箱小过渡舱传递. 由于转移仓尺寸小,其第 1 期章小余,等:正负压一体式无空气X射线光电子能谱原位转移仓的开发及研制31原料成本大大缩减,整体造价不高. 转移仓送至能谱仪进样室后,配合样品停放台与进样杆的同时双向对接,将转移仓整体固定在进样室内,如图1(f )所示. 此时关闭进样室舱门开始抽真空,当样品台与密封罩内外压强平衡后密封罩自动解除真空密封,但仍然处于O 圈密闭状态. 等待进样室真空抽至1×10−4Pa 后,使用能谱仪进样室的样品停放台摘除脱离的密封罩[如图1(g )所示],待真空抽至1×10−6Pa ,即可将样品送入分析室进行XPS 测试.整个试验过程操作便捷,实现了样品从手套箱转移至能谱仪内不接触大气环境.1.2 试验过程1.2.1 样品准备及转移试验所用手套箱是布劳恩惰性气体系统(上海)有限公司生产,型号为MB200MOD (1500/780)NAC ;金属Li 片购自中能锂业,纯度99.9%;CuCl 购自ALFA 公司,纯度99.999%.金属Li 片的制备及转移:将XPS 原位转移仓整体通过手套箱过渡舱送入手套箱中,剪取金属Li 片用双面胶带固定于样品台上,分别采用正压、负压两种密封模式将XPS 原位转移仓整体从手套箱中取出,分别在空气中放置0、2、4、8、18、24、48、72 h 后送入能谱仪内,进行XPS 测试.CuCl 粉末的制备及转移:在手套箱中将CuCl 粉末压片[21],使用上述同样的制备方法,将XPS 原位转移仓整体在空气中分别放置0、7、24、72 h 后送入能谱仪内,进行XPS 测试.1.2.2 样品转移方式介绍样品在手套箱中粘贴完成后,分别采用三种方式将其送入能谱仪. 第一种方式是在手套箱内使用标准样品台粘贴样品,将其装入自封袋密封,待能谱仪进样室舱门打开后,即刻打开封口袋送入仪器中开始抽真空等待测试,整个转移过程中样品暴露空气约15 s. 第二种方式是使用XPS 原位转移仓负压密封模式转移样品,具体操作步骤:利用紧固挡板将样品台和密封罩固定在一起,逆时针(OPEN )旋动螺帽至顶部,放入手套箱过渡舱并将其抽为真空,此过程中样品所在区域也抽至负压. 取出整体装置后再顺时针(CLOSE )旋动螺帽至底部,将样品所在区域进一步锁死密封. 样品在负压环境中转移至XPS 实验室,拆卸掉紧固挡板,随即送入能谱仪进样室内. 第三种方式是使用XPS 原位转移仓正压密封模式转移样品,具体操作步骤:利用紧固挡板将样品台和密封罩固定在一起,顺时针(CLOSE )旋螺帽抽气管限位板单向密封柱密封罩主体O 圈样品台紧固挡板(e)

原位转移仓对金属Li片的密封时效性验证将金属Li 片通过两种(标准和负压密封)方式转移并在空气中放置不同时间,对这一系列样品进行XPS 测试,Li 1s 和C 1s 高分辨谱图结果如图3(a )(b )所示,试验所测得的Li 1s 半峰宽值如表1所列. 根据XPS 结果分析,金属Li 片采用标准样品台进样(封口袋密封),短暂暴露空气约15 s ,此时Li 1s 的半峰宽为1.62 eV. 而采用XPS 原位转移仓负压密封模式转移样品时,装置整体放置空气18 h 内,Li 1s 的半峰宽基本保持为(1.35±0.03) eV. 放置空气24 h 后,Li 1s 的半峰宽增加到与暴露空气15 s 的金属Li 片一样,说明此时原位转移仓的密封性能衰减,金属Li 片与渗入内部的空气发生反应生成新物质导致Li 1s 半峰宽变宽. 由图3(b )中C 1s

因此根据试验结果分析,对于空气极其敏感的材料,在负压密封模式下,建议XPS原位转移仓在空气中放置时间不要超过18 h. 这种模式适合对空气极其敏感样品的短距离转移.表 1 通过两种(标准和负压密封)方式转移并在空气中放置不同时间的Li 1s的半峰宽Table 1 Full width at half maxima (FWHM) of Li 1stransferred by two methods

eV,说明有明显的密封效果,金属Li片仍然保持原有化学状态. 所以对于空气极其敏感的材料,在正压密封模式下,可至少在72 h内保持样品表面不发生化学态变化. 这种模式适合长时间远距离(可全国范围内)转移空气敏感样品.2.1.3 负压密封模式下XPS原位转移仓对空气敏感样品CuCl的密封时效性验证除了金属Li片样品,本文还继续考察XPS原位转移仓对空气敏感样品CuCl的密封时效性.

When a multilevel zone plateis considered, or more in general a blazed zone plate, the efficiency of the first order becomes dominant, and in the case of a 4 level zone plate, the first order has a theoretical efficiency of 82%.The third order is suppressed and the first active order is the fifth, whose efficiency is 1/25 smaller that the first order.In case of ideal blazed zone plate the first order has an efficiency of almost 100%.2) Even limiting the comparison to binary zone plate, in case of pure phase shift zone plate, the first order has an efficiency of 40% (neglecting the absorption) that is about a factor 4 higher that the proposed ASZP in the paper, even if, in case of binary zone plate, in order to remove the background of the third order it is needed an OSA aperture.The authors should include historical references on “conventional” zone plate and their use. Such as:a) David Attwood nature photonics | VOL 4 |, pag. 840, DECEMBER 2010 | /naturephotonicsb) Di Fabrizio, E., Romanato, F., Gentill, M., Cabrini, S., Kaulich, B., Susini, J., Barrett, R. “High-efficiency multilevel zone plates for keV X-rays”(1999) Nature, 401 (6756), pp. 895-898c) Di Fabrizio, E., Cojoc, D., Cabrini, S., Kaulich, B., Susini, J., Facci, P., Wilhein, T.Diffractive optical elements for differential interference contrastx-ray microscopy(2003) Optics Express, 11 (19), pp. 2278-2288.3) In page 2 row 7 from bottom, “annuals” should be changed by “annular”Formula (7), is obtained for zone index n>>1 (valid for outermost zone) instead in the formula n= or >1.Formula (8) need a wider explanation of its meaning and use.ri is not defined. In the same page4) Comments on figure 2. It is true that state of art fabrication can reach 13 nm and, I would say even better, but the zone rings are circular and smooth. If in the fabrication the zone are fragmentized as for ASZP or BGZP, the fabrication,especially for the medium and outermost zone becomes almost impossible, for sure figure 2a is not less difficult than figure 2b.As a final comment, I’m not against the publication of this paper, but the introduction has to be written more accurately, and contradiction or limitation in the formulas 7, 8, 9 has to mandatory be corrected or explicitly stated and not simply referring to previous literature.----------------------------STYLE CORRECTIONSOnly one author email can be listed and must be at the end of the author listing.The commas following the article titles should be inside the quotation marks.In the section and sub-section headings, use an initial capital letter followed by lowercase, except for proper names, abbreviations, etc.Authors must use one image file per figure.

X-ray

X-ray

Nick Veasey: Exposing the invisibleSo, 120 years ago, Dr. Röntgen X-rayed his wife's hand. Quite why he had to pin her fingers to the floor with her brooch, I'm not sure. It seems a bit extreme to me. That image was the start of the X-ray technology. And I'm still fundamentally using the same principles today. I'm interpreting it in a more contemporary manner.The first shot I ever did was of a soda can, which was to promote a brand that we all know, so I'm not going to do them any favors by showing you it. But the second shot I did was my shoes I was wearing on the day. And I do really like this shot, because it shows all the detritus that's sort of embedded in the sole of the sneakers. It was just one of those pot-luck things where you get it right first time.Moving on to something a bit larger, this is an X-ray of a bus. And the bus is full of people. It's actually the same person. It's just one skeleton. And back in the '60s, they used to teach student radiographers to take X-rays, thankfully not on you and I, but on dead people. So, I've still got access to one of these dead people called Frieda; she's falling apart, I'm afraid, because she's very old and fragile. But everyone on that bus is Frieda. And the bus is taken with a cargo-scanning X-ray, which is the sort of machine you have on borders, which checks for contraband and drugs and bombs and things.Fairly obvious what that is. So, using large-scale objects does sort of create drama because you just don't see X-rays of big things that often. Technology is moving ahead, and these large cargo scanner X-rays that work with the digital system are getting better and better and better. Again though, to make it come alive you need, somehow, to add the human element. And I think the reason this image works, again, is because Frieda is driving the bulldozer. (Laughter)Quite a difficult brief, make a pair of men's pants look beautiful. But I think the process, in itself, shows how exquisite they are. Fashion -- now, I'm sort of anti-fashion because I don't show the surface, I show what's within. So, the fashionistas don't really like me because it doesn't matter if Kate Moss is wearing it or if I'm wearing it, it looks the same. (Laughter) We all look the same inside, believe me. The creases in the material and the sort of nuances. And I show things for really what they are, what they're made of. I peel back the layers and expose it. And if it's well made I show it, if it's badly made I show it.And I'm sure Ross can associate that with design. The design comes from within. It's not just Topshop, I get some strange looks when I go out getting my props. Here I was fumbling around in the ladies' underwear department of a department store, almost got escorted from the premises. I live opposite a farm. And this was the runt of the litter, a piglet that died. And what's really interesting is, if you look at the legs, you'll notice that the bones haven't fused. And should that pig have grown, unfortunately it was dead, it would have certainly been dead after I X-rayed it, with the amount of radiation I used anyway. (Laughter) But once the bones had fused together it would have been healthy.So, that's an empty parka jacket. But I quite love the way it's posed. Nature is my greatest inspiration. And to carry on with a theme that we've already touched with is how nature is related to architecture. If you look at the roof of the Eden Project, or the British library, it's all this honeycomb structure. And I'm sure those architects are inspired, as I am, by what surrounds us, by nature. This, in fact, is a Victoria water lily leaf that floats on the top of a pond. An amaryllis flower looking really three-dimensional. Seaweed, ebbing in the tide. Now, how do I do this, and where do I do this, and all of that sort of thing.This is my new, purpose-built, X-ray shed. And the door to my X-ray room is made of lead and steel. It weighs 1,250 kilograms and the only exercise I get is opening and closing it. (Laughter) The walls are 700 millimeters thick of solid dense concrete. So, I'm using quite a lot of radiation.A lot more than you'd get in a hospital or a vet's. And there I am. This is a quite high-powered X-ray machine. What's interesting really about X-ray really is, if you think about it, is that that technology is used for looking for cancer or looking for drugs, or looking for contraband or whatever. And I use that sort of technology to create things that are quite beautiful.So, still working with film, I'm afraid. Technology in X-ray where it's life-size processed, apart from these large cargo-scanning machines, hasn't moved on enough for the quality of the image and the resolution to be good enough for what I want to do with it, which is show my pictures big. So, I have to use a 1980s drum scanner, which was designed in the days when everyone shot photographs on film. They scan each individual X-ray. And this shows how I do my process of same-size X-rays. So, this is, again, my daughter's dress. Still has the tag in it from me buying it, so I can take it back to the shop if she didn't like it. But there are four X-ray plates. You can see them overlapping.So, when you move forward from something fairly small, a dress which is this size, onto something like that which is done in exactly the same process, you can see that that is a lot of work. In fact, that is three months solid X-raying. There is over 500 separate components. Boeing sent me a 747 in containers. And I sent them back an X-ray. (Laughter) I kid you not.Okay, so Frieda is my dead skeleton. This, unfortunately, is basically two pictures. One on the extreme right is a photograph of an American footballer. The one on the left is an x-ray. But this time I had to use a real body. Because I needed all the skin tissue to make it look real, to make it look like it was a real athlete. So, here I had to use a recently deceased body. And getting a hold of that was extremely difficult and laborious. But people do donate their bodies to art and science. And when they do, I'm in the queue. So, I like to use them. (Laughter)The coloring, so coloring adds another level to the X-rays. It makes it more organic, more natural. It's whatever takes my fancy, really. It's not accurately colored to how it is in real life. That flower doesn't come in bright orange, I don't think. But I just like it in bright orange. And also with something technical, like these are DJ decks, it sort of adds another level. It makes a two dimensional image look more three dimensional.The most difficult things to X-ray, the most technically challenging things to X-ray are the lightestthings, the most delicate things. To get the detail in a feather, believe me, if there is anyone out here who knows anything about X-rays, that's quite a challenge. I'm now going to show you a short film, I'll step to the side.Video: (Music) The thing in there is very dangerous. If you touch that, you could possibly die through radiation poisoning. In my career I've had two exposures to radiation, which is two too many, because it stays with you for life. It's cumulative.(Music) It has human connotations. The fact that it's a child's toy that we all recognize, but also it looks like it's a robot, and it comes from a sci-fi genus. It's a surprise that it has humanity, but also man-made, future, alien associations. And it's just a bit spooky.(Music) The bus was done with a cargo-scanning X-ray machine, which is used on the borders between countries, looking for contraband and illegal immigrants. The lorry goes in front of it. And it takes slices of X-rays through the lorry. And that's how this was done. It's actually slice, slice. It's a bit like a CT scanner in a hospital. Slices. And then if you look carefully, there is all little things. He's got headphones on, reading the newspaper, got a hat on, glasses, got a bag. So, these little details help to make it work, make it real.(Music) The problem with using living people is that to take an X-ray, if I X-ray you, you get exposed to radiation. So, to avoid that -- I have to avoid it somehow -- is I use dead people. Now, that's a variety of things, from recently deceased bodies, to a skeleton that was used by student radiographers to train in taking X-rays of the human body, at different densities.(Music) I have very high-tech equipment of gloves, scissors and a bucket.(Music) I will show how the capillary action works, how it feeds, I'll be able to get all the cells inside that stem. Because it transfers food from its roots to its leaves. Look at this monster.(Music) It's so basic. It just grows wild. That's what I really like about it, the fact that I haven't got to go and buy it, and it hasn't been genetically modified at all. It's just happening. And the X-ray shows how beautiful nature can be. Not that that is particularly beautiful when you look at it with the human eye, the way the leaves form. They're curling back on each other. So the X-ray will show the overlaps in these little corners. The thicker the object, the more radiation it needs, and the more time it needs. The lighter the object, the less radiation. Sometimes you keep the time up, because the time gives you detail. The longer the exposure goes on for, the more detail you get.(Music) If you look at this, just the tube, it is quite bright. But I could get a bit darker in the tube, but everything else would suffer. So, these leaves at the edge would start to disappear. What I like is how hard the edges are, how sharp. Yeah, I'm quite pleased with it.(Music) I travel beyond the surface and show something for what it's worth, for what it's really made of, how it really works. But also I find that I've got the benefit of taking away all the surface, which is things that people are used to seeing.And that's the sort of thing I've been doing. I've got the opportunity now to show you what I'm going to be doing in the future. This is a commercial application of my most recent work. And what's good about this, I think, is that it's like a moment in time, like you've turned around, you've got X-ray vision and you've taken a picture with the X-ray camera. Unfortunately I haven't got X-ray vision. I do dream in X-ray. I see my projects in my sleep. And I know what they're going to look like in X-ray and I'm not far off.So, what am I doing in the future? Well, this year is the 50th anniversary of Issigonis's Mini, which is one of my favorite cars. So, I've taken it apart, component by component, months and months and months of work. And with this image, I'm going to be displaying it in the Victoria and Albert Museum as a light box, which is actually attached to the car. So, I've got to saw the car in half, down the middle, not an easy task, in itself. And then, so you can get in the driver's side, sit down, and up against you is a wall. And if you get out and walk around to the other side of the car, you see a life-sized light box of the car showing you how it works.And I'm going to take that idea and apply it to other sort of iconic things from my life. Like, my first computer was a big movement in my life. And I had a Mac Classic. And it's a little box. And I think that would look quite neat as an X-ray. I'm also looking to take my work from the two-dimensional form to a more three-dimensional form. And this is quite a good way of doing it. I'm also working now with X-ray video. So, if you can imagine, some of these flowers, and they're actually moving and growing and you can film that in X-ray, should be quite stunning. But that's it. I'm done. Thank you very much. (Applause)。

great majority of these materials contain sp2carbon rather than sp3carbon,their struc-tures have been thought of as being made up from tiny fragments235236P.J.F.HARRISFI G.1.(a)Model of PAN-derived carbon fibres from the work of Crawford and Johnson,1(b)model of a non-graphitizing carbon by Ban and colleagues.2of crystalline graphite.Examples of models for the structures of carbons in which the basic elements are graphitic are reproduced in Figure 1.The structure shown in Figure 1(a)is a model for the structure of carbon fibers suggested by Crawford and Johnson in 1971,1whereas 1(b)shows a model for non-graphitizing car-bon given by Ban and colleagues in 1975.2Both structures are constructed from bent or curved sheets of graphite,containing exclusively hexagonal rings.Although these models probably provide a good first approximation of the structures of these car-bons,in many cases they fail to explain fully the properties of the materials.Consider the example of non-graphitizing carbons.As the name suggests,these cannot be transformed into crystalline graphite even at temperatures of 3000◦C and above.I nstead,high temperature heat treatments transform them into structures with a high degree of porosity but no long-range crystalline order.I n the model proposed by Ban et al.(Figure 1(b)),the structure is made up of ribbon-like sheets enclosing randomly shaped voids.It is most unlikely that such a structure could retain its poros-ity when subjected to high temperature heat treatment—surface energy would force the voids to collapse.The shortcomings of this and other “conventional”models are discussed more fully later in the article.The discovery of the fullerenes 3−5and subsequently of re-lated structures such as carbon nanotubes,6−8nanohorns,9,10and nanoparticles,11has given us a new paradigm for solid car-bon structures.We now know that carbons containing pentago-nal rings,as well as other non-six-membered rings,among the hexagonal sp 2carbon network,can be highly stable.This new perspective has prompted a number of groups to take a fresh look at well-known forms of carbon,to see whether any evidence can be found for the presence of fullerene-like structures.12−14The aim of this article is to review this new work on the structure of graphitic carbons,to assess whether models that incorporate fullerene-like elements could provide a better basis for under-standing these materials than the conventional models,and to point out areas where further work is needed.The carbon ma-terials considered include non-graphitizing carbon,glassy car-bon,carbon fibers,and carbon black.The article begins with an outline of the main structural features of fullerenes,carbon nanotubes,and carbon nanoparticles,together with a brief dis-cussion of their stability.FULLERENES,CARBON NANOTUBES,AND CARBON NANOPARTICLESThe structure of C 60,the archetypal fullerene,is shown in Figure 2(a).The structure consists of twelve pentagonal rings and twenty hexagons in an icosahedral arrangement.I t will be noted that all the pentagons are isolated from each other.This is important,because adjacent pentagonal rings form an unstable bonding arrangement.All other closed-cage isomers of C 60,and all smaller fullerenes,are less stable than buck-minsterfullerene because they have adjacent pentagons.For higher fullerenes,the number of structures with isolated pen-tagonal rings increases rapidly with size.For example,C 100has 450isolated-pentagon isomers.16Most of these higher fullerenes have low symmetry;only a very small number of them have the icosahedral symmetry of C 60.An example of a giant fullerene that can have icosahedral symmetry is C 540,as shown in Figure 2(b).There have been many studies of the stability of fullerenes as a function of size (e.g.,Refs.17,18).These show that,in general,stability increases with size.Experimentally,there is evidence that C 60is unstable with respect to large,multiwalled fullerenes.This was demonstrated by Mochida and colleagues,who heated C 60and C 70in a sublimation-limiting furnace.19They showed that the cage structure broke down at 900◦C–1000◦C,although at 2400◦C fullerene-like “hollow spheres”with diameters in the range 10–20nm were formed.We now consider fullerene-related carbon nanotubes,which were discovered by Iijima in 1991.6These consist of cylinders of graphite,closed at each end with caps that contain precisely six pentagonal rings.We can illustrate their structure by considering the two “archetypal”carbon nanotubes that can be formed by cutting a C 60molecule in half and placing a graphene cylinder between the two halves.Dividing C 60parallel to one of the three-fold axes results in the zig-zag nanotube shown in Figure 3(a),whereas bisecting C 60along one of the fivefold axes produces the armchair nanotube shown in Figure 3(b).The terms “zig-zag”and “armchair”refer to the arrangement of hexagons around the circumference.There is a third class of structure in which the hexagons are arranged helically around the tube axis.Ex-perimentally,the tubes are generally much less perfect than the idealized versions shown in Figure 3,and may be

nanotubes.The multilayered tubes range in length from a few tens of nm to several microns,and in outer diameter from about 2.5nm to 30nm.The end-caps of the tubes are sometimes symmetrical in shape,but more often asymmetric.Conical structures of the kind shown in Fig-ure 5(a)are commonly observed.This type of structure is be-lieved to result from the presence of a single pentagon at the position indicated by the arrow,with five further pentagons at the apex of the cone.Also quite common are complex cap struc-tures displaying a “bill-like”morphology such as thatshownFI G.3.Drawings of

at point “X”and a heptagon at point “Y .”The heptagon results in a saddle-point,or region of negative curvature.The nanotubes first reported by Iijima were prepared by va-porizing graphite in a carbon arc under an atmosphere of helium.Nanotubes produced in this way are invariably accompanied by other material,notably carbon nanoparticles.These can be thought of as giant,multilayered fullerenes,and range in size from ∼5nm to ∼15nm.A high-resolution image of a nanopar-ticle attached to a nanotube is shown in Figure 6(a).22In this238P.J.F.HARRISFI G.4.TEM image of multiwalled nanotubes.case,the

looped rather than straight.They will not be considered further here because they have no parallel among well-known forms of carbon discussed in this article.The stability of multilayered carbon nanotubes and nanopar-ticles has not been studied in detail experimentally.However,we know that they are formed at the center of graphite electrodes during arcing,where temperatures probably approach 3000◦C.I t is reasonable to assume,therefore,that nanotubes and nanopar-ticles could withstand being re-heated to such temperatures (in an inert atmosphere)without significant change.MICROPOROUS (NON-GRAPHITIZING)CARBONS BackgroundIt was demonstrated many years ago by Franklin 25,26that carbons produced by the solid-phase pyrolysis of organic ma-terials fall into two distinct classes.The so-called graphitizing carbons tend to be soft and non-porous,with relatively high den-sities,and can be readily transformed into crystalline graphite by heating at temperatures in the range 2200◦C–3000◦C.I n con-trast,“non-graphitizing”carbons are hard,low-densitymateri-FI G.7.(a)High resolution TEM image of carbon prepared by pyrolysis of sucrose in nitrogen at 1000◦C,(b)carbon prepared

of non-graphitizing carbons is a consequence of a microporous struc-ture,which gives these materials an exceptionally high internal surface area.This high surface area can be enhanced further by activation,that is,mild oxidation with a gas or chemical pro-cessing,and the resulting “activated carbons”are of enormous commercial importance,primarily as adsorbents.27−29The distinction between graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons can be illustrated most clearly using transmission elec-tron microscopy (TEM).Figure 7(a)shows a TEM image of a typical non-graphitizing carbon prepared by the pyrolysis of sucrose in an inert atmosphere at 1000◦C.30The inset shows a diffraction pattern recorded from an area approximately 0.25µm in diameter.The image shows the structure to be disordered and isotropic,consisting of tightly curled single carbon layers,with no obvious graphitization.The diffraction pattern shows symmetrical rings,confirming the isotropic structure.The ap-pearance of graphitizing carbons,on the other hand,approxi-mates much more closely to that of graphite.This can be seen in the TEM micrograph of a carbon prepared from anthracene,240P.J.F.HARRI Swhich is shown in Figure 7(b).Here,the structure contains small,approximately flat carbon layers,packed tightly together with a high degree of alignment.The fragments can be considered as rather imperfect graphene sheets.The diffraction pattern for the graphitizing carbon consists of arcs rather than symmetrical rings,confirming that the layers are preferentially aligned along a particular direction.The bright,narrow arcs in this pattern correspond to the interlayer {0002}spacings,whereas the other reflections appear as broader,less intense arcs.Transmission electron micrographs showing the effect of high-temperature heat treatments on the structure of non-graphitizing and graphitizing carbons are shown in Figure 8(note that the magnification here is much lower than for Figure 7).I n the case of the non-graphitizing carbon,heating at 2300◦C in an inert atmosphere produces the disordered,porous material shown in Figure 8(a).This structure is made up of curved and faceted graphitic layer planes,typically 1–2nm thick and 5–15nm in length,enclosing randomly shaped pores.A few somewhat larger graphite crystallites are present,but there is no macroscopic graphitization.n contrast,heat treatment of the anthracene-derived carbon produces large crystals of highly or-dered graphite,as shown in Figure 8(b).Other physical measurements also demonstrate sharp dif-ferences between graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons.Table 1shows the effect of preparation temperature on the sur-face areas and densities of a typical graphitizing carbon prepared from polyvinyl chloride,and a non-graphitizing carbon prepared from cellulose.31It can be seen that the graphitizing carbon pre-pared at 700◦C has a very low surface area,which changes lit-tle for carbons prepared at higher temperatures,up to 3000◦C.The density of the carbons increases steadily as thepreparationFI G.8.Micrographs of (a)sucrose carbon and (b)anthracene carbon following heat treatment at 2300◦C.TABLE

on the non-graphitizing carbon is very different.A high surface area is observed for the carbon prepared at 700◦C (408m 2/g),which falls rapidly as the preparation temperature is increased.Despite this reduction in surface area,however,the density of the non-graphitizing carbon actually falls when the temperature of preparation is increased.This indicates that a high proportion of “closed porosity”is present in the heat-treated carbon.NEW PERSPECTIVES ON GRAPHITIC CARBONS STRUCTURE241FI G.9.Franklin’s representations of(a)non-graphitizing and(b)graphitizing carbons.25Early ModelsThefirst attempt to develop structural models of graphitizingand non-graphitizing carbons was made by Franklin in her1951paper.25In these models,the basic units are small graphitic crys-tallites containing a few layer planes,which are joined togetherby crosslinks.The precise nature of the crosslinks is not speci-fied.An illustration of Franklin’s models is shown in Figure9.Using these models,she put forward an explanation of whynon-graphitizing carbons cannot be converted by heat treatmentinto graphite,and this will now be summarized.During car-bonization the incipient stacking of the graphene sheets in thenon-graphitizing carbon is largely prevented.At this stage thepresence of crosslinks,internal hydrogen,and the viscosity ofthe material is crucial.The resulting structure of the carbon(at ∼1000◦C)consists of randomly ordered crystallites,held to-gether by residual crosslinks and van der Waals forces,as inFigure9(a).During high-temperature treatment,even thoughthese crosslinks may be broken,the activation energy for themotion of entire crystallites,required for achieving the struc-ture of graphite,is too high and graphite is not formed.Onthe other hand,the structural units in a graphitizing carbon areapproximately parallel to each other,as in Figure9(b),and thetransformation of such a structure into crystalline graphite wouldbe expected to be relatively facile.Although Franklin’s ideason graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons may be broadlycorrect,they are in some regards incomplete.For example,thenature of the crosslinks between the graphitic fragments is notspecified,so the reasons for the sharply differing properties ofgraphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons is not explained.The advent of high-resolution transmission electron mi-croscopy in the early1970s enabled the structure of non-graphitizing carbons to be imaged directly.n a typical study,Ban,Crawford,and Marsh2examined carbons prepared frompolyvinylidene chloride(PVDC)following heat treatments attemperatures in the range530◦C–2700◦C.I mages of these car-bons apparently showed the presence of curved and twistedgraphite sheets,typically two or three layer planes thick,enclos-ing voids.These images led Ban et al.to suggest that heat-treatednon-graphitizing carbons have a ribbon-like structure,as shownin Figure1(b).This structure corresponds to a PVDC carbonheat treated at1950◦C.This ribbon-like model is rather similar to an earlier model of glassy carbon proposed by Jenkins andKawamura.32However,models of this kind,which are intendedto represent the structure of non-graphitizing carbons follow-ing high-temperature heat treatment,have serious weaknesses,as noted earlier.Such models consist of curved and twistedgraphene sheets enclosing irregularly shaped pores.However,graphene sheets are known to be highlyflexible,and wouldtherefore be expected to become ever more closely folded to-gether at high temperatures,in order to reduce surface energy.Indeed,tightly folded graphene sheets are quite frequently seenin carbons that have been exposed to extreme conditions.33Thus,structures like the one shown in Figure1(b)would be unlikelyto be stable at very high temperatures.It has also been pointed out by Oberlin34,35that the modelsput forward by Jenkins,Ban,and their colleagues were basedon a questionable interpretation of the electron micrographs.In most micrographs of partially graphitized carbons,only the {0002}fringes are resolved,and these are only visible when they are approximately parallel to the electron beam.Therefore,such images tend to have a ribbon-like appearance.However,because only a part of the structure is being imaged,this appear-ance can be misleading,and the true three-dimensional structuremay be more cagelike than ribbon-like.This is a very importantpoint,and must always be borne in mind when analyzing imagesof graphitic carbons.Oberlin herself believes that all graphiticcarbons are built up from basic structural units,which comprisesmall groups of planar aromatic structures,35but does not appearto have given a detailed explanation for the non-graphitizabilityof certain carbons.The models of non-graphitizing carbons described so farhave assumed that the carbon atoms are exclusively sp2and arebonded in hexagonal rings.Some authors have suggested thatsp3-bonded atoms may be present in these carbons(e.g.,Refs.36,37),basing their arguments on an analysis of X-ray diffrac-tion patterns.The presence of diamond-like domains would beconsistent with the hardness of non-graphitizing carbons,andmight also explain their extreme resistance to graphitization.Aserious problem with these models is that sp3carbon is unsta-ble at high temperatures.Diamond is converted to graphite at1700◦C,whereas tetrahedrally bonded carbon atoms in amor-phousfilms are unstable above about700◦C.Therefore,the242P.J.F.HARRI Spresence of sp 3atoms in a carbon cannot explain the resistance of the carbon to graphitization at high temperatures.I t should also be noted that more recent diffraction studies of non-graphitizing carbons have suggested that sp 3-bonded atoms are not present,as discussed further in what follows.Evidence for Fullerene-Like Structures in Microporous CarbonsThe evidence that microporous carbons might have fullerene-related structures has come mainly from high-resolution TEM studies.The present author and colleagues initiated a series of studies of typical non-graphitizing microporous carbons using this technique in the mid 1990s.30,38,39The first such study in-volved examining carbons prepared from PVDC and sucrose,after heat treatments at temperatures in the range 2100◦C–2600◦C.38The carbons subjected to very high temperatures had rather disordered structures similar to that shown in Figure 8(a).Careful examination of the heated carbons showed that they often contained closed nanoparticles;examples can be seen in Figure 10.The particles were usually faceted,and often hexagonal or pentagonal in shape.Sometimes,faceted layer planes enclosed two or more of the nanoparticles,as shown in Figure 10(b).Here,the arrows indicate two saddle-points,similar to that shown in Figure 5(b).The closed nature of the nanoparticles,their hexagonal or pentagonal shapes,and other features such as the saddle-points strongly suggest that the parti-cles have fullerene-like structures.I ndeed,in many cases the par-ticles resemble those produced by arc-evaporation in a fullerene generator (see Figure 6)although in the latter case the particles usually contain many more layers.The observation of fullerene-related nanoparticles in the heat treated carbons suggested that the original,freshly prepared car-bons may also have had fullerene-related structures (see next section).However,obtaining direct evidence for this is diffi-cult.High resolution electron micrographs of freshly prepared carbons,such as that shown in Figure 7(a),are usuallyratherFI G.10.(a)Micrograph showing closed structure in PVDC-derived carbon heated at 2600◦C,(b)another micrograph of same sample,with arrows showing regions of negative curvature.38featureless,and do not reveal the detailed structure.Occasion-ally,however,very small closed particles can be found in the carbons.30The presence of such particles provides circumstan-tial evidence that the surrounding carbon may have a fullerene-related structure.Direct imaging of pentagonal rings by HRTEM has not yet been achieved,but recent developments in TEM imaging techniques suggest that this may soon be possible,as discussed in the Conclusions.As well as high-resolution TEM,diffraction methods have been widely applied to microporous and activated carbons (e.g.,Refs.40–44).However,the interpretation of diffraction data from these highly disordered materials is not straightforward.As already mentioned,some early X-ray diffraction studies were interpreted as providing evidence for the presence of sp 3-bonded atoms.More recent neutron diffraction studies have suggested that non-graphitizing carbons consist entirely of sp 2atoms.40It is less clear whether diffraction methods can establish whether the atoms are bonded in pentagonal or hexagonal rings.Both Petkov et al .42and Zetterstrom and colleagues 43have interpreted neutron diffraction data from nanoporous carbons in terms of a structure containing non-hexagonal rings,but other interpreta-tions may also be possible.Raman spectroscopy is another valuable technique for the study of carbons.45Burian and Dore have used this method to analyze carbons prepared from sucrose,heat treated at tem-peratures from 1000◦C–2300◦C.46The Raman spectra showed clear evidence for the presence of fullerene-and nanotube-like elements in the carbons.There was also some evidence for fullerene-like structures in graphitizing carbons prepared from anthracene,but these formed at higher temperatures and in much lower proportions than in the non-graphitizing carbons.New Models for the Structure of Microporous Carbons Prompted by the observations described in the previous section,the present author and colleagues proposed a model for the structure of non-graphitizing carbons that consists ofNEW PERSPECTIVES ON GRAPHITIC CARBONS STRUCTURE243FI G.11.Schematic illustration of a model for the structure of non-graphitizing carbons based on fullerene-like elements.discrete fragments of curved carbon sheets,in which pentagons and heptagons are dispersed randomly throughout networks of hexagons,as illustrated in Figure11.38,39The size of the micropores in this model would be of the order of0.5–1.0nm, which is similar to the pore sizes observed in typical microp-orous carbons.The structure has some similarities to the“ran-dom schwarzite”network put forward by Townsend and col-leagues in1992,47although this was not proposed as a model for non-graphitizing carbons.I f the model we have proposed for non-graphitizing carbons is correct it suggests that these carbons are very similar in structure to fullerene soot,the low-density, disordered material that forms on walls of the arc-evaporation vessel and from which C60and other fullerenes may be ex-tracted.Fullerene soot is known to be microporous,with a sur-face area,after activation with carbon dioxide,of approximately 700m2g−1,48and detailed analysis of high resolution TEM mi-crographs of fullerene soot has shown that these are consis-tent with a structure in which pentagons and heptagons are dis-tributed randomly throughout a network of hexagons.49,50It is significant that high-temperature heat treatments can transform fullerene soot into nanoparticles very similar to those observed in heated microporous carbon.51,52Carbonization and the Structural Evolutionof Microporous CarbonThe process whereby organic materials are transformed into carbon by heat treatment is not well understood at the atomic level.53,54In particular,the very basic question of why some organic materials produce graphitizing carbons and others yield non-graphitizing carbons has not been satisfactorily answered. It is known,however,that both the chemistry and physical prop-erties of the precursors are important in determining the class of carbon formed.Thus,non-graphitizing carbons are formed, in general,from substances containing less hydrogen and more oxygen than graphitizing carbons.As far as physical properties are concerned,materials that yield graphitizing carbons usu-ally form a liquid on heating to temperatures around400◦C–500◦C,whereas those that yield non-graphitizing carbons gen-erally form solid chars without melting.The liquid phase pro-duced on heating graphitizing carbons is believed to provide the mobility necessary to form oriented regions.However,this may not be a complete explanation,because some precursors form non-graphitizing carbons despite passing through a liquid phase.The idea that non-graphitizing carbons contain pentagons and other non-six-membered rings,whereas graphitizing car-bons consist entirely of hexagonal rings may help in understand-ing more fully the mechanism of carbonization.Recently Kumar et al.have used Monte Carlo(MC)simulations to model the evo-lution of a polymer structure into a microporous carbon structure containing non-hexagonal rings.55They chose polyfurfuryl al-cohol,a well-known precursor for non-graphitizing carbon,as the starting material.The polymer was represented as a cubic lattice decorated with the repeat units,as shown in Figure12(a). All the non-carbon atoms(i.e.,hydrogen and oxygen)were then removed from the polymer and this network was used in the。

Channels of the latter are diverging towards recording means. Means for placement of the test object is located between extended X-ray source and lesser end side of the X-ray capillary lens.

repaPetihWContents1 Why Submit Foods to X-ray Inspection?2 How Does an X-ray System Catch Contaminants?3 Factors Affecting the Sensitivity of X-ray Inspection2W h i t e P a p e rFood manufacturers are under increasing consumer and legislative pressure to provide safe food. One of the tools that helps to maintain food safety is x-ray inspection.This white paper looks at the use of x-ray inspection systems to eliminate physical contaminants on pumped food lines. It begins with a short introduction to x-ray inspection and why it’s used in the food-processing industry. It goes on to consider the factors that affect the sensitivity of x-ray inspection, the effectiveness of x-ray inspection at different points on the production line, and the ease with which the technology can be applied to production lines based on pumped product.After reviewing the factors that production line managers should take into account when considering installing an x-ray inspection system, the white paper suggests typical applications, and then looks at points to consider when using x-ray inspection for processed meat and poultry lines and for lines involving slurries, semi-solids, and fluids.Contamination Detection in Pumped Foods1. Why Submit Foods to X-ray Inspection?X-ray inspection systems keep foods safe by offering unsurpassed detection of physical contaminants. No other technology detects such a wide range ofcontaminants such as stone, metal, glass, bone, and high-density plastic and rubber.Incorporating x-ray inspection systems into a company-wide product-safety program helpsmanufacturers comply with national and international regulations - such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) - as well as standards set by retailers.Typical contaminants2. How Does an X-ray System Catch Contaminants?An x-ray system is essentially a scanning device. When a product passes through the x-ray system, the internal sensors capture a grey-scale image of the product. The software within the x-ray system analyzes the image and compares it to a predetermined acceptance standard.On the basis of the comparison, it accepts or rejects the image. In the case of a rejection, the software sends a signal to an automatic reject system/valve which removes the product from the production line.X-ray image of processed chickenWhite PaperMETTLER TOLEDO3Fig 1: X-ray image of a ready meal - lots of varities of greys make it more difficult to detect a contaminantFig 2: X-ray image of pumped caramel - it is easier to detect a contaminant in a homogenous product4. Establishing Critical Control Point for an X-ray System on a Production LineTo be fully effective, x-ray inspection should be part of a company-wide approach to product safety and part of a product inspection program. Implementing x-ray inspection into such a program helps foodmanufacturers to achieve compliance with standards such as HACCP .HACCP consists of seven steps known as principles.1. Conduct a hazard analysis2. Identify critical control point (CCP)3. Establish critical limits for each CCP4. Establish CCP monitoring requirements5. Establish corrective actions6. Establish record-keeping procedures7. Establish procedures to verify the system is workingas intended The second of those principles – identifying the critical control point (CCP) – helps to choose the best location to apply x-ray inspection on a production line. A CCP is a step or process that’s essential to product safety. It’s the point at which control must be applied to reduce the risk of contamination to acceptable levels.To find out more about selecting CCP, please read the white paper “How to select CCP for x-ray systems” (/usxray-ccp).White PaperMETTLER TOLEDO3. Factors Affecting the Sensitivity of X-ray InspectionThe ease with which food contaminants can be identified by x-ray inspection depends on various factors such as product density, product thickness, and product homogeneity.Product DensityProduct density determines the depth of grey in the grey-scale image. The denser the product, the darker the grey.To be detectable to x-ray inspection, a contaminant has to be denser than the product in which it’s embedded. That means it will absorb more x-rays than thesurrounding product, and show up on the grey-scale image as an area that’s darker than its surroundings. In other words, any contaminant with a density similar to, or less than, that of the product in which it’s embedded is incapable of being detected by x-ray inspection.Product ThicknessAs the product thickness in the path of the x-ray beam increases, so does its overall level of absorption. That makes detection more difficult. A contaminant in ashallow layer of product flowing through a pipe is easier to detect than a contaminant hidden inside a finished sealed pack. In general, the shallower the depth of product, the better the sensitivity of x-ray inspection.Product HomogeneityThe texture and consistency of a food product has an effect on x-ray sensitivity. A product with components of varying density, such as a ready meal, shows up in a greyscale image as a variety of greys (Fig 1). The more components there are, the wider the range of greys. Analyzing the image for contaminants is harder because the software has to pick out the tell-tale dark speck of a contaminant from an image containing numerous shades of grey. The more homogeneous the product, such as liquid caramel, the easier it is to spot contaminants (Fig 2).Many other factors can affect the sensitivity of an x-ray system. To find out more about the factors limiting the sensitivity of detection, please read “The X-ray Inspection Guide” (/usxray-guide).44.2 X-ray Inspection of Processed FoodWhen installed during or after the food processing or before the filling process, x-ray inspection of pumped products is ideal as they tend to be homogeneous - their texture and density are much more uniform. And since the product is already flowing through a pipe, it can easily be presented for inspection in shallow depths by narrowing the gauge or altering the cross-section of the pipe.X-ray systems for pumped products can be used at different stages on a production line depending on the identified CCPs.5. Applying X-ray Inspection to Pumped Food ProductsPumped products typically include meat and poultry as well as slurries, semi-solids and fluids at any stage prior to final packaging.Connecting x-ray inspection equipment to an existing piped production line isn’t complicated. Standard fittings are used to attach the pipe through which the pumped products passes to the manifold of the x-ray machine. The manifold typically tapers the round production-line pipe to a rectangular-shaped inspection window with an equivalent throughput volume. The rectangular section is where the x-ray beam scans the flowing product. The depth of product at this point is typically between 35mm to 50mm. When the software detects a contaminant, it diverts the product from the pipe via a reject diverter valve.A typical x-ray pipeline systemW h i t e P a p e rOnce the CCPs on a production line are identified, other factors such as practicality and cost-effectiveness need to be taken into account to select the ideal location for an x-ray system. There are occasions where it would be necessary to install more than just one x-ray system on the production line and that’s why there is no single solution that’s right for every production line.For this white paper, we will only focus on the inspection of pumped food products.4.1 X-ray Inspection at the Beginning of the Production LineDetection levels are typically better in the early stages of the production process where unprocessed pumped product can be presented in a shallower depth and with a more uniform texture. As the line progresses, thenature of contaminants can change too. Each processing step can introduce new contaminants, or break existing contaminants down into smaller, less detectable pieces.X-ray inspection of ground meatAt each stage of the production process, the value of the product increases. For that reason, food manufacturers find it more cost-effective to reject contaminated product before it’s been processed or sealed in its final packaging.Catching contaminants early is not just more efficient in reducing product waste and costs, it also helps prevent damage to processing equipment caused by big contaminants, which could in turn introduce more contaminants. Additionally, when installed early in the production process it can serve as a check on suppliers’ quality control.White PaperMETTLER TOLEDO6. Factors to Consider When Installing X-rayInspectionProduct passing through a pipe performs slightly differently to product travelling on a conveyor. To make the most of x-ray inspection, you need to take the following factors into account:Air BubblesAir bubbles in a pumped product are tiny voids – zones containing no product. Voids absorb fewer x-rays so they appear as lighter areas on grey-scale x-ray images. The contrast at the edges of these lighter areas can trigger the x-ray software into thinking that it detected a contaminant, causing false rejects. Since air bubbles reduce the depth of grey, they could lighten the color of any contaminants directly behind or in front. That makes the contaminants harder to detect.Air bubbles are common in pumped meat and poultry appications but are not difficult to eliminate with the right x-ray system design. A vacuum filler pump, for example, generates a constant, homogeneous flow with minimal air bubbles.Slurries and other viscous products do not normally contain air bubbles when pumped through a pipe. Speed VariationsA well-designed x-ray system will automatically adapt to changes in the flow rate of the customer product. It adjusts the scan speed and the associated reject timing in accordance with a speed signal from the production-line pump.Location on the Production LineAs mentioned previously, x-ray inspection can be applied anywhere on a production line containing pumped products. But the earlier you apply it, the better. The value of rejected product is lower, plus you may be able to recover the product and feed it back into the line after removal of the contaminants.A very common location is at the start of the production process when product value is low and the risk of contaminants from incoming raw product is at its highest. Using x-ray inspection at this stage also lets you monitor suppliers’ quality control.7. Typical ApplicationsA huge range of processed food products pass through pipelines. Typical applications could be:Meat andPoultrywhole muscle, minced meats forsausages, pies, pâtésBakery jams, syrups, cake mix and fillings Dairy butter, ice cream, yogurt, cottagecheeseFruit andVegetablespurées, mousses, juices,smoothies, chopped fruit andvegetablesFish andSeafoodfish spread, processed fish forready-mealsConfectionery melted chocolate, nougats, toffees Ready-Meals sauces, soups, pie fillingsWe can divide these food products into two broad classes: (1) meat and poultry, (2) slurries, semi-solids, and fluids. We’ll look at them separately.7.1 Meat and Poultry ApplicationsTypical pumped meat and poultry products include ground meat, sausage meat, and poultry trims such as breast fillets and thigh meat. Bone contaminants are by far the most common ones, although lead or steel shot (buck shot), needles, and teeth are also common. Depending on the pumped meat or poultry application, x-ray inspection can detect metal down to 0.8mm, and calcified bone and tooth down to 2mm. The maximum pipe diameter for meat applications is 75mm (3 inches) because narrower pipes make it easier to identify fragments of bone.White PaperMETTLER TOLEDO56W h i t e P a p e rSince chicken bones are less dense than red meat bones, they’re harder to detect. The density of chicken bone tends to be closer to that of the chicken meat in which it lies. On a grey-scale image, the difference between the grey of the meat and the grey of the bone is less obvious.Let’s look at some important points to consider when using x-ray inspection for pumped meat and poultry applications:• High volume throughput of up to 10 tons an hour • Contaminants will be removed before adding further value to the product through processing• Rejected product could be reworked and reused (depending on the application)•Reject portion sizes are larger than for aconveyorized x-ray system because the pipeline reject mechanism can’t isolate a single item such as a chicken breast fillet•Faster flows increase reject portion sizes – up to 2lb to 3lb of rejected product when running at 10 tons an hour through a 76mm (3-inch) pipe •High rejection rate due to frequency of bone contaminants in meat and poultry products – an acceptable reject level needs to be defined7.2 Slurries, Semi-solids and FluidsX-ray inspection is especially useful for products that cannot be sieved. These are products such as textured fruit purées and yogurts containing fruit chunks. Sieving removes physical contaminants by catching anything that’s too big to fit through the sieve mesh and is used mainly for liquid applications like milk. X-ray inspection of pumped products is a good alternative for catching physical contaminants where sieving can’t be used.The contaminants within slurries, semi-solids, and fluids are varied. Depending on the application, x-rayinspection can detect metal down to 0.8mm, glass and stone down to 2mm, and dense plastic down to 4mm. The maximum pipe diameter for these more fluid applications is 100mm (4 inches).Contaminated slurries, semi-solids, and fluids are typically rejected from the pipe through a diverter ball valve. The ball valve automatically removescontaminated product without creating a back pressure in the system.The sanitary design of an x-ray system inspecting slurries, semi-solids, and fluids is very important. For more efficient cleaning, aseptic x-ray inspection systems are available. An aseptic design incorporates steam-cleaning ports for destruction of pathogenic bacteria growth. For dairy applications, there are x-ray inspection systems that are certified to AMI and 3-A Sanitary Standards.Let’s look at some important points to consider when using x-ray inspection for slurries, semi-solids and fluids:•High volume throughput of up to 20 tons an hour – larger than for meat and poultry because pipeline diameters are typically greater and fluids can travel faster through pipes• Contaminants will be removed before adding further value to the product through processing• Rejected product can be reworked and reused (depending on the application)•Faster flows increase reject portion sizes – up to 5kg or more of product when running at 20 tons an hour through a 100mm (4-inch) pipeWhite PaperMETTLER TOLEDO8. ConclusionFor many years, x-ray inspection has proven itseffectiveness at eliminating contaminants fromprocessed and packaged food products. Theeffectiveness of x-ray inspection systems dependson the product density, thickness and homogeneityof the inspected product.Since pumped products tend to be more homogeneous,it’s easy to adjust their depth by altering the size orshape of the pipe through which they flow. That makespumped products an ideal application for x-rayinspection, offering food manufacturers excellentlevels of contaminant detection.Pumped products on a food processing line tendto occur early in the production process before amanufacturer has added further value to the productthrough processing and packaging. Since product valueis lower at this point, this location is very common forx-ray inspection system for removing contaminants.Early removal of contaminants has two otheradvantages: it protects valuable processing equipmentfrom damage further downstream, and it serves asa check on suppliers’ quality control.Installing x-ray inspection equipment on a pumpedproduction line is a simple process. A pressure vacuumpump will eliminate air bubbles especially in meat andpoultry applications. A well-designed x-ray inspectionsystem can also automatically change the scanningspeed and the reject timings to match the customer’sflow rate.X-ray inspection is a versatile technology that’s suitablefor the inspection of a wide range of pumped foodproducts at CCPs on a food processing line. It helpsmaintain product safety and brand reputation, andcan protect valuable equipment from damage.7White PaperMETTLER TOLEDOFor more informationMettler Toledo Safeline 6005 Benjamin Road Tampa FL 33634 USATel. 813-889-9500Toll Free 800-447-4439Fax. 813-881-0840Email:*********************Subject to technical changes©05/2011 Mettler-Toledo Safeline Printed in the US/safelineusOn-Demand X-ray Webinars 24/7Our on-demand webinars give you the opportunity to learn more about x-ray inspection - at your own convenience!To view all our on-demand webinars please visit:/pi-ondemandFurther Information about X-ray InspectionFREE Technical Guide Make an informed decisionMETTLER TOLEDO has published an authoritative product inspection guide for x-ray inspection systems.The 73 page guide enables you to select the right x-ray inspection system for your production line.

烯丙孕素的合成及其晶体结构

烯丙孕素的合成及其晶体结构崔志刚,甄盼盼,杨雪,于小婷,张永赞,张磊,姜淋洁,赵健*(天津市中升挑战生物科技有限公司天津300380)过更换反应试剂对烯丙孕素的合成进行了工艺优化,使整个反应过程更适合放大生产,且安全环保、成本更低廉。

该合成方法以3-缩酮为原料,经过格氏化反应,水解反应,氧化反应得到烯丙孕素;并首次获得烯丙孕素单晶,X-射线衍射单晶结构测定表明,其结构为斜方晶系,P212121空间群,具有手性,晶胞参数:a=7.2501(15)Å,b=10.452(2)Å,c=22.252(5)Å,α=90°,β=90°,γ=90°,V=1686.2(6)Å3,Z=4,Dc=1.223mg/m 3,m=0.077mm -1,F (000)=672.0,GOF=1.034,Rint=0.0455,R1a,wR2b[I>2σ(I )]=0.0456(0.1017),Residuals=0.0520(0.1063e Å-3)。

该晶体被剑桥晶体数据中心收录(申请人:崔志刚;晶体号:CCDC1914181)。

烯丙孕素晶型的确定为后续研究烯丙孕素制剂新剂型等方面提供选择。

孕素;合成;晶体结构烯丙孕素(又称四烯雌酮,Altrenogest ),为淡黄色至黄色结晶性粉末;无臭无味,对光敏感,无引湿性;CAS 号:850-52-2。

结构上与兽用药类固醇群勃龙有关,是一种合成的trienic C21甾类孕激素,属于19-去甲睾丸素类。

它是具有口服活性的促孕激素。

与所有类固醇一样,烯丙孕素可通过自身脂溶性渗透入靶细胞中,然后与特定受体结合来发挥作用,类似于天然孕酮的作用模式来抑制促性腺激素的释放,可作为家畜同期发情的药物。

烯丙孕素及其口服液在欧洲使用得非常广泛,欧盟(EMEA )和美国(FDA )已经批准上市使用,主要用于调控母猪和母马的同期发情。

source IRS7,whereas X E has no K-band counterpart above19.4m.This indicates that X E is younger than typical Class I protostars,probablya Class0protostar or in an intermediate phase between Class0and Class I.TheX-ray luminosity of X E varied between29<log L X<31.2ergs s−1on timescalesof3–30months.X E also showed a monotonic increase in X-ray brightness by afactor of two in30ksec during an XMM-Newton observation.The XMM-Newtonspectra indicate emission from a hot plasma with kT∼3–4keV and also showfluorescent emission from cold iron.Though the X-ray spectrum from X E is sim-ilar toflare spectra from Class I protostars in luminosity and temperature,thelight curve does not resemble the lightcurves of magnetically generated X-rayflares because the variability timescale of X E is too long and because variationsin X-ray count rate were not accompanied by variations in spectral hardness.The short-term variation of X E may be caused by the partial blocking of theX-ray plasma,while the month-longflux enhancement may be driven by massaccretion.Subject headings:stars:activity—stars:magneticfields—stars:pre–main-sequence—stars:rotation—X-rays:stars1.IntroductionLow-mass protostars are divided into two classes,Class0and Class I,according to their infrared(IR)and radio spectral energy distribution(SED).This classification gener-ally traces their evolutionary status.Class0objects are thought to be young(t∼104yr) protostars which mainly emit in the far-IR and submillimeter wavelengths with blackbody temperatures of<30K(Andr´e et al.1993).They are believed to be accreting mass dy-namically from their huge circumstellar envelopes.Class I objects are believed to be older protostars(t∼105yr)at the end of the mass-accretion phase and emit in the near-IR at temperatures of T∼3000−5000K.Protostellar cores are generally hidden inside enormous gas envelopes.Hard X-rays can penetrate the thick molecular clouds,and hard X-ray observations have revealed high energy activity associated with Class I objects(Koyama et al.1996;Grosso et al.1997;Imanishi et al.2001).The observed X-ray emission exhibits occasional rapid outbursts reminiscent of solarflares though current star formation theories do not predict solar-type magnetic dynamos in very young stars.Montmerle et al.(2000)proposed an alternative dynamo mechanism,in which fossil magneticfields link the protostellar core with its circumstellar disk reconnect.Hard X-ray emission from other embedded sources was reported in the OMC-2/3cloud (Tsuboi et al.2001).The two detected sources show Class0characteristics:huge absorption (N H∼1−3×1023cm−2),no near-IR counterparts,and associations with millimeter radio clumps.However,follow-up radio and near-IR observations by Tsujimoto et al.(2004)did not unambiguously classify them as Class0protostars.In particular,one of these sources correlates with a centimeter radio source and a jet feature in the H2band,which indicates excitation by a jet from a nearby Class I protostar.Though Skinner et al.(2003)and Rho et al.(2004)have reported X-ray emission from other millimeter radio clumps in NGC2024 and the Trifid nebula,the photon statistics in those observations were too limited( 50 photons per source)to identify their nature conclusively.To date no X-ray source has been clearly identified with a bona-fide Class0object.The R Corona Australis(R CrA)cloud is a nearby star forming region(d∼170pc, Knude&Hφg1998).Among many young stellar objects in the cloud,those in the IRS7 region have attracted particular interest as a site of ongoing star formation.The region contains double peaked,strong centimeter emission;an eastern peak is designated as10E or IRS7B,and a western peak is designated10W or IRS7A(Brown1987;Feigelson et al. 1998;Harju et al.2001).It also contains two submillimeter peaks(van den Ancker1999), multiple millimeter continuum peaks(Henning et al.1994;Saraceno et al.1996;Chini et al. 2003;Choi&Tatematsu2004),and a signature of strong bipolar outflows(Harju et al. 1993;Anderson et al.1997),but only one near-IR source,IRS7(Wilking et al.1997,W97). These characteristics make the IRS7region a promising host of Class0sources.Koyama et al.(1996)detected hard X-ray emission and an intenseflare from the IRS7region,which suggested the presence of a magnetically active protostar.In this paper,we report the X-ray detection of two extremely embedded sources in the IRS7star forming core during XMM-Newton observations in2003.These results,combined with the analysis of two Chandra observations carried out in2000and2003,and follow-up near-IR observations with the University of Hawaii88-inch Telescope(UH88),help to determine the nature of the detected X-ray sources.2.X-ray Observations and Absolute Position CorrectionWe analyzed X-ray data obtained with the XMM-Newton observatory on2003March 28and2003March29(hereafter Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2,see Table1for details).The XMM-Newton satellite(Jansen et al.2001)is composed of three nested Wolter I type X-ray telescopes(Aschenbach et al.2000)with European Photon Imaging Camera(EPIC)CCD detectors in their focal planes(Str¨u der et al.2001;Turner et al.2001).The observations were obtained with the EPIC pn and EPIC MOS1and EPIC MOS2detectors,in full frame mode with the mediumfilter.We pointed at similar sky positions in Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2;the IRS7star forming core was at6′off-axis,where the90%photon radius is∼1′.We analyzed the X-ray data using the software package SAS ver. 5.4.1and HEAsoft ver. 5.2.Wefirst processed the data using the SAS scripts“emchain”and“epchain”,and screened out high background periods using standard criteria,excluding events when the entire chip count rate of“pattern=0”events above10keV was>0.35cnts s−1for MOS and>1cnts s−1for pn, and excluding events close to hot pixels or outside thefield of view.Finally,we selected events with pattern≦4for spectral analysis of the EPIC pn and with pattern≦12for the EPIC MOS and the other analyses of the EPIC pn.To help source identification and investigate long-termflux variations,we analyzed two archival Chandra observations.Chandra has a single high-performance X-ray telescope which provides sub-arcsecond imaging(Weisskopf et al.2002).The Chandra observations were obtained using the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer detector using the Imaging array(ACIS-I)on2000October7and2003June26(hereafter Obs CXO1and Obs CXO2,see Table1).Garmire&Garmire(2002)presented thefirst results of Obs CXO1.The IRS7 star forming region was at2′and0.′2off-axis in Obs CXO1and Obs CXO2,respectively,where the90%photon radius is∼1′′.We analyzed the Chandra data using the software packages CIAO ver. 2.3and HEAsoft ver. 5.2.For Obs CXO1,we reprocessed the level1event data with“acis events”to compensate for degradation of the CCD spectral resolution by charge transfer inefficiency(CTI,Townsley et al.2000).For Obs CXO2,we used pipeline-processed level2event data which was already corrected for CTI degradation.Finally,we selected events from both observations with the standard grades0,2,3,4,and6in the ASCA event grade system for further analysis.For the correction of the absolute coordinates,we measured positions of X-ray bright sources on the combined EPIC pn plus MOS images between0.3−10keV and positions of sources in the ACIS-I image between0.5−9keV using available source detection packages (SAS:edetectthe NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive(GATOR)1,whose astrometric accuracy is good to about0.′′12.Each X-ray source has only one2MASS counterpart within4′′,so that the source identification is very reliable.After adjusting the X-ray positions to the2MASS positions,the deviation of the Chandra and XMM-Newton coordinates from the2MASS coordinates is 0.′′6.3.X-ray ImageFigure1shows a“true-color”X-ray image of the R CrA star forming region,which combines EPIC pn and MOS(1+2)data taken in both Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2.Red,green, and blue colors in the image represent soft(0.2−1keV),medium(1−3keV),and hard(3−9 keV)bands,respectively.The IRS7region is colored in dark blue,which indicates the presence of hard X-ray sources,possibly suffering strong low-energy absorption.The top left panel of Figure2shows a detailed view of the IRS7region of the hard band image.A strong X-ray source,labelled X E,was detected with edetectchain failed to detect a small peak on the tail of the psf to the north-west of X E,our subsequent analysis using the Obs XMM1data confirmed it as a weak source at∼14σsignificance which we labelled X W.The positional accuracy of both sources is hard to estimate because the sources are unresolved.In this paper,we tentatively put the errors at∼2′′,the half pixel size of the EPIC pn camera.If we rely on the result of edetectchain results,the source positions of X E between the Chandra and XMM-Newton ob-servations have a significant discrepancy of∼2′′.Hereafter,we refer to the Chandra detected positions for both sources.The bottom panels of Figure2compare the X-ray source positions with sources detected at other wavelengths.X E is associated with the VLA centimeter source10E(Brown1987)and the sub-millimeter peak vdA5(van den Ancker1999).Choi&Tatematsu(2004) also suggested a marginal millimeter source at the position of X E.X W is associated with centimeter(10W in Brown1987),millimeter(source4in Choi&Tatematsu2004),and sub-millimeter sources,and the near-IR source,IRS7(see also section5).4.X-ray Light Curves and Spectra4.1.East Source(X E)We extracted source photons from the XMM-Newton observations of X E from a27.′′5 radius circle centered on the source position excluding the region around X W,with back-ground taken from appropriate source free regions.We obtained∼2,000net counts from Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2,enabling us to perform detailed timing and spectral analyses.For the Chandra data,we extracted events from a1.′′8radius circle centered on the source position.The background level was negligibly low.Only10−20counts were extracted from the Chandra observation,which precludes detailed spectral analysis.The top panel of Figure3shows the background subtracted EPIC pn+MOS light curve of X E in the2−10keV band.Thefirst half of the light curve,corresponding to Obs XMM1, is mostlyflat with some indications of a slight increase at the end.A constant provides an acceptableχ2fit at above90%confidence(Table3).The source was about four times brighter than the average count rate of Obs XMM1at the beginning of the second half,corresponding to Obs XMM2,and the count rate gradually increased by a factor of two.This part of the light curve can be acceptablyfit at greater than90%confidence level by a linear increase with a slope of∼9.3×10−2cnts s−1day−1(Table3).During both observations,the hardness ratio defined as count rates in the5−10keV band over those in the2−5keV band remained unchanged,except for a minimum at7.86days.This means that time variation in count rate was not accompanied by any significant change of the spectral shape.On the other hand,the light curves show marginal dips on timescales of<1ksec near8.02and8.17days. These dips are seen in both the pn and MOS light curves of X E and other nearby sources, such as R CrA,IRS5,and CrA1,have no dips at those times.These facts do not support an instrumental origin.We note that these dips might suggest a tentative period of∼13.9 ksec,with the combination of minimal dips at6.56and7.85days(the dip at7.85day was only covered with the MOS data and does not appear in the Figure3).The EPIC spectra of X E in Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2(Figure4)show several similarities: significant emission up to∼10keV;strong absorption below2−3keV;a broad line feature between6−7keV;marginal lines between5−6keV in the EPIC pn spectra(which maybe of instrumental or cosmic origin3).To investigate the6−7keV line feature,wefit the EPIC pn and MOS(1+2)spectra simultaneously with an absorbed power-law model witha Gaussian component.An acceptablefit above90%confidence has a photon index of3.0(2.5–3.4),a Gaussian line centroid of6.60(6.53–6.67)keV,and a Gaussian width of0.15 (0.079–0.28)keV,where the numbers in parentheses denote the90%confidence range.The derived Gaussian width,equivalent to∆v∼7,000km s−1if produced by Doppler broadening, is unreasonably large for a stellar plasma(see also discussion6.1).We therefore interpret the broad feature as a blend of iron lines from a hot plasma at6.7keV and afluorescent iron line at6.4keV though the profile needs to be confirmed with deeper observations. We thenfit the XMM-Newton spectra with XSPEC by an absorbed1-temperature(1T) optically thin,thermal plasma model(wabs:Morrison&McCammon1983;MeKaL:Mewe et al.1995)with a Gaussian component with line centerfixed at6.4keV.For either of the two observations this model yields acceptablefits at the90%confidence level(Model A and B in Table4).N H differs significantly between Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2,possibly due to the simplistic spectral model we assumed.Indeed,the soft emission below3keV was unchanged between Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2,suggesting an additional component along with the hard emission.In the single temperaturefit to Obs XMM1,the soft emission is included as a part of the absorption slope whereas thefit to Obs XMM2determines N H from the3−5keV slope and does not reflect the soft emission.We therefore refit the spectra of Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2simultaneously with an absorbed2T model—1T for the variable hard component and1T for the constant soft component—with a Gaussian line at6.4keV.In this model, we tied the N H of the hard components in Obs XMM1and Obs XMM2and tied the elemental abundances of all components.We allowed N H of the soft and hard components to befit independently because a modelfit with a common N H gives large N H∼2.4×1023cm−2and hence an unrealistically large intrinsic log L X∼35ergs s−1for the soft component.The model,again,successfully reproduced the spectra above the90%confidence level(Model C in Table4).The derived physical parameters of the hard component are at the higher end among those of Class I protostars(e.g.,see Imanishi et al.2001,for comparison):large N H ∼2.8×1023cm−2,equivalent to A V∼180m(using the N H−A V relation by Imanishi et al. (2001));plasma temperature of3–4keV;log L X∼30.8ergs s−1in Obs XMM1,which further increased to∼31.2ergs s−1in Obs XMM2;and afluorescent iron line equivalent width(EW) of∼810(240−1400)eV in Obs XMM1and∼250(100−400)eV in Obs XMM2.Meanwhile, the metal abundance is∼0.2(0.1−0.3)solar,which is typical of low-mass young stars(e.g. Favata et al.2003).userSince we have very few counts from the Chandra observations,we simply calculated a softness ratio,defined as S/(H+S),where S and H are photon counts in the0.5–3keV and3–9keV bands,respectively.The ratios are0.15±0.08(S=3,H=17)in Obs CXO1and 0.38±0.13(S=5,H=8)in Obs CXO2where the errors show1-sigma.The same softness ratios evaluated for the XMM-Newton best-fit models after adjusting to the Chandra ACIS-I response are0.11for Obs XMM1and0.048for Obs XMM2,suggesting that the spectra have been softer during the Chandra observations.This is consistent with the picture that the hard component further declined during the Chandra observations while the soft component was unchanged.4.2.West Source(X W)We extracted XMM-Newton source events of X W from an ellipse with axes15′′by10.′′5elongated toward the NNE direction,excluding a region with strong contamination from X E,and selected the background from a symmetrical region near X E.We did not use the Obs XMM2data,because the X W region suffered strong contamination from X E.For the Chandra data,we extracted source events from a1.′′8radius circle.The background level was negligibly low.The XMM-Newton spectra were reproduced by an absorbed1T model with N H∼3.4×1023 cm−2,kT>1.6keV,and log L X∼30.5ergs s−1(left panel of Figure5,Model D in Table4). We added both spectra from Obs CXO1and Obs CXO2because their count rates are about the same.The summed spectrum can be reproduced by the best-fit XMM-Newton model just by changing its normalization(right panel of Figure5,Model E in Table4).5.Follow-up Observations in the Near-IRInfrared source catalogues in the R CrA region currently available have several shortcom-ings:shallow limiting magnitude(e.g.K limit∼15m for2MASS,16.5m for W97);insufficient spatial resolution(e.g.1′′pix−1for2MASS and0.′′75pix−1for W97);and insufficient positional accuracy(e.g.,±1′′for W97).We therefore analyzed two deep K-band images of thefield obtained in August1998and August2003using UH88and the near-IR imager QUIRC.During the observations,we used the f/10secondary mirror,yielding a pixel scale of 0.′′1886pix−1.The spatial resolution of our images is0.′′5and0.′′8in FWHM for the1998 and2003data respectively.Both images were aligned with an accuracy of0.′′3by referring to the coordinates of R CrA in the2MASS catalogue and a high resolution image(FWHM∼0.′′14)obtained with the SUBARU telescope.The analysis was made with IRAF4.Both images show R CrA as afilamentary and mildly extended reflection nebulae(Fig-ure6for the1998data),but the location of X E shows no significant emission,though it does have some marginal enhancement.Theflux upper-limit was measured by subtracting the extended nebular emission,which we estimated with a third-order polynomial surface fit.The5-σupper-limit of X E within the20×20pixel box centered at X E was∼19.4m for the1998image and∼19m for the2003image.Meanwhile,using the SUBARU image (Nedachi et al.in preparation),we measured the absolute position of IRS7at(α2000,δ2000) =(19h1m55.s34,−36◦57′21.′′69)with an accuracy of0.′′3.This is much more accurate than the earlier observations.With this new position,IRS7falls within the positional error circle of X W(see the bottom right panel of Figure2).6.Discussion6.1.The Nature and X-ray Emission Mechanism of X EHarju et al.(2001)suggested that the radio counterpart of X E,source10E,might be a radio galaxy or Galactic microquasar.However,AGNs with the observed X-rayflux above 2−8×10−13ergs cm−2s−1(2−10keV)are found 10degree−2in the sky(Ueda et al.1998), and the probability to detect such an AGN in the IRS7star forming core(∼10arcsec2)is extremely small( 10−4).Furthermore,AGNs do not generally show thermal iron K emission line and have ratherflat spectral slopes(Γ≤2)(Ueda et al.1998).Similarly,Galactic black hole candidates also showflat power-law X-ray spectra withΓ=1.5−2.1though they sometimes show thermal spectra with kT∼0.5–1.5keV(McClintock&Remillard2003). Taking its association to the star forming core into account,X E is most likely a very young stellar object.Compared to Class I objects in the R CrA star forming region such as IRS1,2,and5 which have N H∼2×1022cm−2and K 11m(from our additional analysis of the Obs XMM1 and Obs XMM2data;see also W97),X E shows much larger X-ray absorption and much smaller near-IR luminosity.X E is also associated with the strong submillimeter condensation vdA5 (van den Ancker1999).All these suggest that X E is much younger than typical Class I objects,and that it is a Class0object or an object in an intermediate phase between Class0and Class I.We note that extremely embedded sources in the OMC-2/3cloud have similarly high absorption columns of N H∼(1−3)×1023cm−2(Tsuboi et al.2001).Between the Chandra and XMM-Newton observations,X E exhibited strong long-term X-ray variation by a factor of10−100on a timescale of a month(Figure7).In none of the observations did we detect obviousflare activity though Obs XMM2showed a markedflux increase.Active stars such as RS CVn and young stars in open clusters do not generally vary in X-rays more than a factor of2−3outsideflares(Stern1998).Less active stars such as the Sun exhibit strong X-ray variations by up to a factor of100,coincident with their activity cycles(e.g.Favata et al.2004),but,unlike X E,the X-ray luminosity of such stars is typically less than1028ergs s−1and the observed activity time scale is several years.One possibility is that the strong variability of X E could indicate abrupt activity produced by an enhanced mass accretion episode similar to that recently attributed to the outburst of the star in McNeil’s nebula(Kastner et al.2004).Indeed,the outburst increased the X-rayflux by a factor of50,and the post-outburst X-ray luminosity of1031ergs s−1is comparable to the luminosity of X E during Obs XMM2.The plasma temperature and X-ray luminosity of X E exceed the typical quiescent X-ray activity of Class I protostars and are comparable to temperatures and luminosities of X-ray flares from Class I protostars(Imanishi et al.2001;Shibata&Yokoyama2002)5.X-ray flares from Class I protostars may be produced by reconnection in a magnetosphere which is twisted due to the core-disk differential rotation(Tsuboi et al.2000;Montmerle et al. 2000).Perhaps a similar mechanism explains the X-ray emission from X E during the XMM-Newton observations,though magnetic reconnection would have to occur throughout the XMM-Newton observations since no rapid X-ray variation was seen from X E.Theflux increase of a factor of two in∼30ksec in Obs XMM2is unlike the types of variations seen in magnetically driven X-rayflares which are characterized by rapid(∼10ksec)flux increases(e.g.Tsuboi et al.1998,2000;Stelzer et al.2000;Imanishi et al. 2001).Favata et al.(2003)found a similar rise in X-ray brightness in the classical T-Tauri star XZ Tau,with a factor of4increase during50ksec.In this case,the brightening was accompanied by an N H decrease and therefore Favata et al.(2003)interpreted it as an eclipse of the emitting region by the accretion stream.Because X E did not show any significant hardness ratio variation the absorber would have to be uniformly dense,optically thick gas. Such a variation could be produced by an eclipse of the X-ray emitting region by an absorberor emergence of the X-ray emitting region from behind the rim of the protostellar core as a result of stellar rotation.If thefluorescent iron line in the spectra is real,this is unusual becausefluorescent iron lines have been rarely observed from pre–main-sequence stars.Even a few examples during strongflares from Class I protostars have EW 150eV(Imanishi et al.2001).The large equivalent width of thefluorescent line from X E(∼250−800eV)again suggests that the source is extremely embedded.When we simulatefluorescent iron line EWs,assuming solar abundance for the surrounding cold gas(Inoue1985),an optically thick absorber should block the direct X-ray emission by∼60%for Obs XMM1and∼3%for Obs XMM2.This result is consistent with obscuration of the X-ray emission though the blocking factor in Obs XMM2 should be 30%to explain the observedflux increase in Obs XMM2.Interestingly,the intrinsic X-ray luminosity in Obs XMM1should be log L X∼31.2ergs s−1,which is comparable to L X in Obs XMM2.Our thermal modelfit requires a metal abundance of∼0.2(0.1–0.3)solar.Though the derived abundance is dependent on the thermal model,and identifying emission lines in low resolution spectroscopy may be difficult especially around∼1keV(e.g.Kastner et al. 2002),the metal abundance of X E is determined mostly from the iron K line region,which seems to show a real underabundance.X-ray emission from T Tauri stars similarly show sub-solar abundances(e.g.,Favata et al.2003).This might suggest that X E has an X-ray emission mechanism similar to T Tauri stars.Such abundance anomalies could be produced by the FIP(first ionization potential)effect(e.g.G¨u del et al.2001).Unfortunately,the spectrum of X E does not have enough counts to detect,unambiguously,emission lines from other elements such as argon and calcium to test the FIP effect.Another possible solution is that the continuum emission includes a non-thermal component,as proposed forρOph S1(Hamaguchi et al.2003).From the above discussion,we hypothesize that the X-ray plasma responsible for the hard component was produced at a mass accretion spot on the protostellar core.The X-ray emission is blocked when the spot would have been behind the protostellar core during Obs XMM1,and just appeared from behind the rim in Obs XMM2as a consequence of proto-stellar rotation(Figure8).To be consistent with the observed XMM-Newton light curves, the rotational period of the proto-stellar core would need to be 2.8days.This rotation speed is much slower than the break-up rotation speculated for Class0protostars from rotational periods of Class I protostars(e.g.Montmerle et al.2000).The soft component was apparently constant and had much smaller N H compared to the hard component.This may suggest that the component has no physical connection to, and exists far from,the hot component.One possible origin is that the soft componentis associated with another hidden protostar,but,though the N H of the soft component is typical of Class I protostars,the K-band magnitude of 19m is much larger than those of Class I protostars in the R CrA cloud(K 11m).Another possible origin is that the X-ray plasma is heated by a collision of a steady jet or outflow from X E with circumstellar gas, a mechanism thought to be associated with X-ray emission from HH2,L1551IRS5,and OMC2/3(Pravdo et al.2001;Favata et al.2003;Tsujimoto et al.2004).Indeed,X E is associated with a centimeter radio source as those systems are,but the plasma temperature and X-ray luminosity of X E are very large compared to those sources,except for the source in OMC2/3.Such a high plasma temperature requires an energetic jet with v jet∼1,500 km s−1.While low-mass young stars generally have slow outflow velocities(a few hundred km s−1),Marti et al.(1995)measured a large proper motion in the young stellar jets HH80-81implying velocities up to1,400km s−1.X E could be another example of a source with high speed outflow.6.2.What is X W?X W is a counterpart to the near-IR source IRS7as well as the centimeter radio source 10W.The column density of X W(∼2−6×1023cm−2)is much larger than that typical of Class I protostars,while the K-band magnitude of∼12.2m is comparable to the brightness of Class I protostars in the R CrA cloud.Therefore,X W might be a Class I source seen at a large inclination angle.On the other hand,IRS7had been suspected to be the counterpart of an X-rayflare source seen during an ASCA observation(Koyama et al.1996).However, the N H measured during the ASCAflare(∼4×1022cm−2)was significantly smaller than that of X W,even considering that the ASCA spectrum is contaminated by emission from surrounding Class I protostars with lower N H.If the ASCAflare source is really X W,the absorption column must be variable.7.Summary&ConclusionWe discovered two extremely embedded X-ray sources at the positions of the strong VLA centimeter radio sources in the IRS7star forming core.Thanks to its vicinity to the Sun (d∼170pc),the large effective area of XMM-Newton and an opportunity to catch an active phase,we obtained around∼2,000photons from X E,which is about40times better than other extremely embedded X-ray sources observed so far.The upper-limit to the K-band luminosity was restricted to∼1/150of the extremely embedded protostars in the OMC-2/3 cloud(d∼450pc and completeness limit∼16m,Tsujimoto et al.2003).This is therefore。
