1-D modeling of ion transport in rectangular nanofluidic channels

Based on the continuity hypothesis of fluid, 1-D mathematical models of ions’ transport in the rectangular nanofluidic channels are established by using the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation and the modified Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The deduced equations are solved with MATLAB software. The results show that the distribution of the electric potential and the flow field could be predicted by the parameters, such as conductivity, surface charge density, solution concentration and channel height. The relationships between the parameters and the flow characteristics of the solution are also discussed. The research will help to the accurate manipulation of the solution in the nanofluidic channels.     

Theoretical investigation of the Anti-Parkinson drug rasagiline and its salts: conformations and infrared spectra

The conformational analysis of rasagiline [N-propargyl-1(R)-aminoindan] was performed by the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method using the 6–31++G (d,p) basis set. A single point energy calculations based on the B3LYP optimized geometries were also performed at MP2/6-31++G (d, p) level. The vibrational frequencies of the most stable conformer of rasagiline was calculated at the B3LYP level and vibrational assignments were made for normal modes on the basis of scaled quantum mechanical force field (SQM) method. The influence of mesylate and ethanedisulfonate salts on the geometry of rasagiline free base and its normal modes are also discussed.      

Poly[tetraamminecopper(II) bis[tris(μ2‐cyanido‐κ2C,N)dicuprate(I)]]: a unique CuI–CuII mixed‐valence complex containing anionic cuprous cyanide layers and [Cu(NH3)4]2+ cations

The title compound, {[Cu(NH₃)₄][Cu(CN)₃]₂}_n, features a Cu^I–Cu^II mixed‐valence CuCN framework based on {[Cu₂(CN)₃]⁻}_n anionic layers and [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ cations. The asymmetric unit contains two different Cu^I ions and one Cu^II ion which lies on a centre of inversion. Each Cu^I ion is coordinated to three cyanide ligands with a distorted trigonal–planar geometry, while the Cu^II ion is ligated by four ammine ligands, with a distorted square‐planar coordination geometry. The interlinkage between Cu^I ions and cyanide bridges produces a honeycomb‐like {[Cu₂(CN)₃]⁻}_n anionic layer containing 18‐membered planar [Cu(CN)]₆ metallocycles. A [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ cation fills each metallocyclic cavity within pairs of exactly superimposed {[Cu₂(CN)₃]⁻}_n anionic layers, but there are no cations between the layers of adjacent pairs, which are offset. Pairs of N—H...N hydrogen‐bonding interactions link the N—H groups of the ammine ligands to the N atoms of cyanide ligands.     

Structural,Raman, and photoluminescence properties of double‐shelled coaxial nanocables of In2O3 core with ZnO and AZO shells

We synthesized In₂O₃/ZnO/Al‐doped ZnO (AZO) core‐double shell nanowires, in which the inner shell (ZnO) and the outer shell (AZO) have been subsequently deposited on the core In₂O₃ nanowires. With their one‐dimensional morphology being preserved, the X‐ray diffraction (XRD), lattice‐resolved transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image, selected area electron diffraction, and Raman spectrum coincidentally revealed that the shell was comprised of hexagonal ZnO phase. In addition, TEM‐EDX investigation revealed the presence of Al elements in the shell region. The thermal annealing at 700 °C did not significantly change the nanowire morphology, however, the XRD spectrum indicated that the ZnO phase was crystallized by the annealing. PL spectrum of the 700 °C‐annealed In₂O₃/ZnO/AZO core‐double shell nanowires was comprised of three Gaussian bands at approximately 2.1 eV, 2.4 eV, and 3.0 eV, respectively. The integrated intensities of 2.1 eV‐, 2.4 eV‐, and 3.0 eV‐bands were decreased by the thermal annealing. This study will pave the road to the preparation and applicaition of double‐shelled nanowires. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

NbB2（0001）表面性质的第一性原理研究

应用密度泛函理论的第一性原理的方法分析了两种不同终端的NbB2(0001)表面的几何结构和电子结构。结果表明:两种不同终端的(0001)表面结构弛豫主要发生在前三层,并且硼终端的表面弛豫程度小于铌终端表面的弛豫。表面能分析结果表明,终止于硼终端的(0001)表面结构在更宽的范围内具有较低的表面能,即硼终端的(0001)表面比铌终端的表面更稳定。进一步分析NbB2(0001)两种终端表面的电子结构表明:在金属铌和硼之间发生了电子转移,加强了化学键的相互作用,导致第一间层向内弛豫。对于铌终端的表面第一层铌转移到第二层的电子数比硼终端表面第二层铌转移到第一层的电子数多,这是导致铌终端表面弛豫程度大于硼终端表面的主要原因。

Velocity map imaging and theoretical study of the Coulomb explosion of CH3I under intense femtosecond IR pulses

The Coulomb explosion of CH(3)I in an intense (10-100 TW cm(-2)), ultrashort (50 fs) and nonresonant (804 nm) laser field has been studied experimentally and justified theoretically. Ion images have been recorded using the velocity map imaging (VMI) technique for different singly and multiply charged ion fragments, CH(3)(p+) (p = 1) and I(q+) (q ≤ 3), arising from different Coulomb explosion channels. The fragment kinetic energy distributions obtained from the measured images for these ion fragments show significantly lower energies than those expected considering only Coulomb repulsion forces. The experimental results have been rationalized in terms of one-dimensional wave packet calculations on ab initio potential energy curves of the different multiply charged species. The calculations reveal the existence of a potential energy barrier due to a bound minimum in the potential energy curve of the CH(3)I(2+) species and a strong stabilization with respect to the pure Coulombic repulsion for the higher charged CH(3)I(n+) (n = 3, 4) species.
