It's all in the mix: A mixed‐surfactant‐templated synthesis gives noncrystalline metal–boron nanotubes (see picture: TEM image of Fe–B nanotubes; inset: the corresponding selected‐area electron diffraction pattern) from simple starting materials under mild conditions. These nanotubes show better catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of m‐nitrotoluene to m‐toluidine than the corresponding nanoparticles.

According to the phase difference of reflection coefficient, we derive the lateral shift of quasi-total reflection of inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave when the electric field is perpendicular to the incident plane. At the same time, we've calculated the shift of low frequency electromagnetic wave and drawn the curves, which vary with the incident angle. The results show that there are three discontinuity points at the critical angle of phase constant, the critical angle of attenuation constant and 90 • . When the incident angle equals one of the three angles, the lateral shift will become infinite, i.e. the electromagnetic wave will propagate along the interface. When the incident angle is close to one of the three angles, the lateral shift is very large.

For inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave, we use the phase shift of reflection coefficient on the conductive interface to derive the lateral shift of reflected wave, and draw the curves of lateral shift. The results show that the lateral shift increases with increasing incident angle. As the incident angle approaches 90°, electromagnetic wave will propagate for a long distance before returning to the first medium. When the incident angles are the same, the lateral shift of electromagnetic wave whose polarization direction of electric field is in the incident plane will be longer than that whose polarization direction of electric field is perpendicular to the incident plane. With the frequency increasing, the lateral shift becomes smaller.

Using the phase shift of reflection coefficient at the interface between two conductive media, we derive the lateral shift of quasi total reflection of inhomogeneous P-polarized electromagnetic wave (whose electric field parallels to the incident plane), and draw the curves of lateral shift with respect to the incident angle. The results show that there are three discontinuous points at the critical angle of phase constant, the critical angle of attenuation constant and 90 • . When the incident angle approaches to one of the three angles, the lateral shift becomes very large. When the incident angle equals to one of them, the lateral shift becomes infinite, i.e. the electromagnetic wave propagates along the interface. In other incident angle the lateral shift has the same order of magnitude as the wavelength. After accounting the lateral shift effect, we discuss the measuring error of electromagnetic wave logging caused by the lateral shift effect, and give a method of computing the measuring error.
