中空铜纳米线的拉伸断裂分布与初始滑移分布的关系

构建了系列球形中空结构的纳米线(NW),采用分子动力学(MD)对每个模型300个不同初始态的样本开展拉伸形变模拟。并利用基于密度的噪声应用空间聚类(density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise,DBSCAN)机器学习算法,获得了初始滑移面的位置。基于大数据统计,分析了初始滑移位置分布以及断裂位置分布两者之间的相关性。研究结果表明：当内部中空半径较小时,断裂位置分布形成于塑性形变阶段,初始滑移分布与断裂位置分布之间无显著的相关性;但是对于脆性特征明显的大中空半径的NW,高能内表面诱导产生的滑移面迅速积累,产生颈缩并导致最终的断裂。因此当内部中空结构达到一定尺寸时初始滑移位置的分布与最终断裂位置的分布之间有明确的因果关系。     

初始微观结构缺陷和断裂的温度依赖及相关性

纳米线(NW)结构内的微观结构缺陷对NW的机械性能存在一定的影响。NW断裂位置的预测关系着纳米器件应用的寿命,进而引起了人们的广泛关注。在本工作中,基于统计分析,分别研究了单晶铜纳米线(Cu NW)拉伸过程中出现的断裂位置以及在应力屈服点处产生的初始微观结构缺陷(初始缺陷)的位置对温度的依赖性,进一步探究了两者之间的联系。利用分子动力学(MD)模拟了单晶Cu NW在20~300 K的温度范围内的拉伸状态,共包含6个体系,各温度体系包含300个独立的样本。基于机器学习,采用density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN)算法,将hexagonal close-packed (hcp)原子划分为各个初始缺陷以进一步确定其位置。统计结果显示,当温度低于50 K时,初始缺陷的位置集中在NW的两端。随着模拟温度的上升,MD模拟结果展现了单晶Cu NW的拉伸过程中的杨氏模量、平均屈服应力、平均势能等机械性能对温度的依赖性。温度的升高进一步促使了更多初始缺陷的产生,并使得初始缺陷的位置由统计分布的两端向中间平均化。与初始缺陷相比,各温度下的断裂位置集中在两端。统计结果表明,模拟的温度范围对NW的断裂位置无明显影响,但对初始缺陷的产生具有明显影响。当温度低于100 K时,初始缺陷的位置分布与断裂位置分布呈现了一致性。由于两者具有不同的温度依赖,其差异随着温度的上升逐渐显现。对不同温度下的微观结构形变行为观察发现,断裂失效明显受到NW两端的表面效应和阻挡效应的影响。最终的断裂位置受塑性形变中后期的影响,与应力屈服区产生的初始缺陷无直接联系。

三角形电极离子阱的理论模拟及性能优化

作为一种新型结构的线性离子阱,三角形电极离子阱( TeLIT)具有简单的电极结构与良好的分析性能。为进一步提高TeLIT的质谱性能,本研究考察了TeLIT的性能与电极结构的关系。利用模拟软件SIMI-ON和AXSIM分析TeLIT场半径比与其内部电场分布的关系,并模拟离子运动轨迹,得出模拟离子质谱峰。理论模拟结果表明：优化场半径比可以改善内部电场分布,并能显著提高TeLIT的质量分辨率。最终模拟得出场半径比rx/ry=5.75：5时为最优结构,在该结构下,m/z为1892 Th的离子在扫描速率为1500 Th/s时,质量分辨率可以达到8287;扫描速率降为300 Th/s时,最高质量分辨率可达23000。

氢原子在Be(0001)表面吸附的密度泛函理论研究

采用第一性原理的密度泛函理论研究单个氢原子和多个氢原子在Be(0001)表面吸附性质.给出了氢吸附Be(0001)薄膜表面的原子结构、吸附能、饱和度、功函数、偶极修正等特性参数.同时也讨论了相关吸附性质与氢原子覆盖度(0.06-1.33ML)的关系.计算结果表明:氢原子的吸附位置与覆盖度之间有强烈的依赖关系,覆盖度低于0.67ML时,氢原子能量上易于占据fcc或hcp的中空位置;覆盖度为0.78ML时,中空位与桥位为氢原子的最佳吸附位;覆盖度在0.89到1.00ML时,桥位是氢原子吸附能量最有利的位置;以上覆盖度中Be(0001)表面最外层铍原子的结构均没有发生明显变化.当覆盖度为1.11-1.33ML,高覆盖度下Be(0001)表面的最外层铍原子部分发生膨胀,近邻氢原子渗入到铍表面次层,氢原子易于占据在hcp和桥位.吸附结构中的氢原子比氢分子中的原子稳定.当覆盖度大1.33ML时,计算结果没有发现相对于氢分子更稳定的吸氢结构.同时从分析偶极修正和氢原子吸附垂直高度随覆盖度的变化关系判断氢覆盖度为1.33ML时,在Be(0001)表面吸附达到饱和.

On the evolution rate in mammalian mitochondrial genomes

The methods of phylogenetic inference have become more and more realistic and effective since the evolution rate was taken into account. In order to study the evolution rate more comprehensively, all 13 protein coding genes in 123 mammalian mitochondrial genomes are analyzed. The evolution rates of different codon position are analyzed as well. The evolution rate is estimated by Shannon entropy. We find that the distribution of 3rd codon position doesn't follow gamma distribution and the results suggest that it follows a mixed distribution of gamma distribution and normal distribution. The relationship between different codon positions is also studied. We find that there are significant positive correlation between three codon positions. Especially between 1st codon position and 2nd codon position, there is strong linear relationship.     

Computational evaluation concerning the deviation of the atoms in 1- and 4-postions on the six-member ring and the effects on 1HNMR chemical shift

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out on some cyclohexane derivatives to investigate the deviation atoms on the 1- and 4-positions of chair plane. The deviations of chair plane of two position in the cyclohexane derivatives were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31 ++ G(d,p) level. Furthermore, we investigated the correlation between deviations of two positions from chair plane on the chemical shift hydrogen atoms on the 4-position.     

Analysis of Diffusion in Hollow Geometries

The diffusion in hollow particles of solid adsorbent materials was analyzed based on analytical solutions to the basic diffusion equation. Three geometric shapes (plane sheet, cylinder, and sphere) of sorbent material were considered for two kinds of boundary conditions. The equations for determining the equivalent sizes compared to their corresponding solid particles were obtained directly from the theoretical expressions of sorption uptake curves. Among the three hollow particles of impermeable inner surface, the sphere gives the highest gain in effective diffusion rate compared to the corresponding solid particle. For permeable inner surface, at lower hollow volume fractions, the plane sheet shows the highest gain, while at higher hollow volume fractions, the sphere shows the highest gain in effective diffusion rate.     

Visualization of distribution of endotoxin trapped in an endotoxin-blocking filtration membrane

Since the finding of β₂-microglobulin as a causal substance in the carpal tunnel syndrome of chronic hemodialysis patients, removal of β₂-microglobulin has been performed using highly permeable dialysis membranes with larger pores. Such large-pore membranes tend to allow endotoxins (Et), harmful substances contained in dialysate, to enter blood. At present, as a countermeasure, Et-blocking filtration membranes are used to remove Et from dialysate. However, Et removal mechanism by these membranes has not been clarified yet. The objective of this study is thus to visualize distribution of fluorescence-labeled Et trapped inside the polyester–polymer alloy (PEPA) membrane, a widely used Et-blocking filtration membrane using a confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscope (CLSFM). Et were observed mainly in the outer skin layer of the hollow fiber, while some in the void and inner skin layers. No Et were present inside the hollow fiber. In conclusion, we succeeded in visualization of Et distribution inside the Et-blocking filtration membrane using CLSFM. This novel visualization technique may allow evaluation of distribution of Et trapped inside various kinds of Et-blocking filtration membranes.     

Hollow carbon spheres with wide size distribution as anode catalyst support for direct methanol fuel cells

Hollow carbonaceous composites (HCCs) possessing sphere and hemisphere shape, which had wide size distribution between several tens of nanometers and several micrometers, were prepared through a facile hydrothermal method using glucose as carbon source with the assistance of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Pyrolysis of these hollow carbonaceous composites at 900 °C under nitrogen flow produced carbonized hollow carbon spheres (HCSs) without changing their structures. Platinum (Pt) was directly deposited on the surface of the HCSs by incipient wet method, using the NaBH₄ as the reductant. TEM, SEM, powder XRD and FT-IR were utilized to characterize all these samples. It was found that Pt nanoparticles were uniformly anchored on the outer and the inner surface of HCSs. The electrocatalytic properties of the Pt/HCS electrode for methanol oxidation have been investigated through cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The Pt/HCS electrode showed significantly higher electrocatalytic activity and more stability for methanol oxidation compared with Pt supported carbon microspheres (Pt/CMs) and commercial carbon (Pt/XC-72) electrode. The excellent performance for the Pt/HCS might be attributed to the high dispersion of platinum catalysts and the particular hollow structure of HCSs.     

Optimization of collinear double-pulse femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of silicon

This paper investigates the optimization of double-pulse collinear femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (FLIBS) for silicon. Double-pulse FLIBS signal enhancements were observed over an extended range of sample focal plane position compared to single pulse FLIBS. The FLIBS signal intensity was studied as a function of pulse energy, inter-pulse delay (0 ps‑80 ps) and sample position. Correlation between crater volume and signal intensity was measured over a limited range of the sample focal plane position. It was found that double-pulse FLIBS is superior to single pulse for certain focal plane positions.
