A novel process of surface modification for multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by using electron cyclotron resonance plasma is proposed. The process uses a H(2)/O(2) gas mixture as etching gas and applies a bias voltage of -250 DCV to the process stage to extract and accelerate hydrogen and oxygen cations. The generated high density and high incident energy cations are employed to create defects on the surface of nanotubes through ion bombardment. The oxygen cations with high reduction potential are simultaneously applied, oxidizing the surface of the nanotubes so as to form functional groups on the side walls most effectively. Additionally, being far from the plasma sheath, the MWCNTs can be maintained at a lower temperature to prevent from being decomposed under the high energy plasma. The efficiency of this method was systematically analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method is a highly effective way to functionalize MWCNTs, resulting in the nanotubes with high concentration of oxygen-containing functional groups and minimal structural damage within very short process time.

Accurate ab initio study of the lowest excited state (A (2)B(2)) of the thiophenoxyl radical is presented. The calculated equilibrium geometries, excitation energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies show that the A (2)B(2) <- X (2)B(1) excitation in C(6)H(5)S has different characteristics than the analogous transition in the phenoxyl radical. Vertical excitation energies for other low-lying (<4.5 eV) excited states of the thiophenoxyl radical are also presented and compared with available experimental data.

The ionization/dissociation mechanism of cyclopentanone has been experimentally investigated in molecular beam by irradiating with intense 394 and 788 nm laser fields with pulse duration of 90 fs. The range of laser intensities varied from 3 X 10(13) to 4 X 10(14) W/cm(2). For both wavelengths, the singly charged parent ion is observable while the doubly charged one cannot be found easily, although the fragmentation pattern supports its presence. Meanwhile, the extent of fragmentation at 788 nm is less than that in the 394 nm case. We quantitatively analyze the ionization processes of cyclopentanone in intense femtosecond laser by comparing the calculation results of ionization rate constants obtained from Ammosov-Delone-Krainov, Keldysh, and Keldysh-Faisal-Reiss (KFR) theories based on hydrogenlike atom model. We also compare the experimental and theoretical results; the generalized KFR theory is found to be useful in predicting the ionization yields of singly and doubly charged cyclopentanone ion. To interpret the dissociation patterns of the cyclopentanone ions, we have used the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory with the potential surfaces obtained from the ab initio quantum chemical calculations.

The 3p sigma(u)D (3)Sigma(+)(u) Rydberg state of N(2) is studied experimentally using two high-resolution spectroscopic techniques. First, the forbidden D (3)Sigma(+)(u)-X (1)Sigma(+)(g) transition is observed for the first time via the (0,0) band of (14)N(2) and the (1,0) band of (15)N(2), using 1 extreme-ultraviolet +1 ultraviolet two-photon-ionization laser spectroscopy. Second, the Rydberg-Rydberg transition D (3)Sigma(+)(u)-E (3)Sigma(+)(g) is studied using near-infrared diode-laser photoabsorption spectroscopy, thus extending the previous measurements of Kanamori [J. Chem. Phys. 95, 80 (1991)], to higher transition energies, and thereby revealing the (2,2) and (3,3) bands. The combined results show that the D(v=0-3) levels exhibit rapidly increasing rotational predissociation as v increases, spanning nearly four orders of magnitude. The D-state level structure and rotational predissociation signature are explained by means of a coupled-channels model which considers the electrostatically coupled (3)Pi(u) Rydberg-valence manifold, together with a pure-precession L-uncoupling rotational interaction between the 3p sigma(u)D (3)Sigma(+)(u) and 3p pi(u)G (3)Pi(u) Rydberg p-complex components.

A carbazole-based host material, 4,4'-N,N'-[di(3, 6-di(t-butyl)carbazole]biphenyl (ttbCBP), with four t-butyl steric spacers on peripheral carbazole moieties was effectively synthesized through Friedel-Crafts Alkylation. Owing to the presence of sterically hindered t-butyl groups, ttbCBP exhibits a high glass transition temperature (175 degrees C) and is morphologically stable. This host material also preserves the characteristics of wide band-gap of 3.2 eV and high triplet energy of 2.64 eV. In addition, ttbCBP has been shown to be effective hosts for green and red phosphorescent emitters in organic electrophosphorescent devices. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We report, for the first time, a direct observation of the super-excited states of CH(4) in femtosecond intense laser fields using a pump (800 nm)-probe (1338 nm) technique. An unambiguous depletion of the CH (A (2) Delta -> X (2)Pi) fluorescence signal as a function of the delay time is attributed to the de-excitation of the super-excited states by the probe laser pulse. The lifetime of the super-excited state is measured to be about 160 fs.

高中畢業以後，大家會各奔前程，選擇繼續升學或是投身社會；近年來，澳門越來越多畢業生會選擇到台灣唸書，當中原因包括：澳門的大學數量少、科系少、社團少、崇拜台灣、訓練個人獨立生活等；然而，留在澳門唸書的同學也為數不少，因為賭業開放增加就業機會，同學們可以利用課餘時間去打工賺錢。兩地文化各異，因而令大學生的課外活動也各有特色，直接影響彼此的價值觀。

一個搖滾樂團槓上全世界最大的國家，用這句話形容「槍與玫瑰」（Guns N’Roses）11月23號所發行的《民主大中國》（Chinese democracy）再貼切不過。為何在商業利益掛帥的資本主義社會中，槍與玫瑰願放棄全球最大的市場，抨擊中國政府？究竟是搖滾精神的支持，還是另一種宣傳噱頭，待樂迷由歌曲中獲得答案。

位於台灣新竹的國立交通大學於1958年建校，素來以理工組學校聞名全世界，而校方為致力培養全方位人才，特此成立藝文中心，來增加學生藝文賞析能力，以均衡多元學習發展。校方不遺餘力在於藝文活動上，為刺激學生藝文賞析能力，更是規劃必修課程─藝文賞析教育，強制學生參與藝文活動，針對於此，校方與學生兩方各持有不同的意見。因此學生參與藝文活動更是呈現兩極化，有些學生為愛好積極參與，有些學生只是為應付學校的規定才前去參加。身為交大學生的你，藝文了沒？
