Sc2O@Td(19151)‐C76: Hindered Cluster Motion inside a Tetrahedral Carbon Cage Probed by Crystallographic and Computational Studies

A new cluster fullerene, Sc₂O@T_d(19151)‐C₇₆, has been isolated and characterized by mass spectrometry, UV/Vis/NIR absorption, ⁴⁵Sc NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The crystallographic analysis unambiguously assigned the cage structure as T_d(19151)‐C₇₆, which is the first tetrahedral fullerene cage characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. This study also demonstrated that the Sc₂O cluster has a much smaller Sc?O?Sc angle than that of Sc₂O@C_s(6)‐C₈₂ and the Sc₂O unit is fully ordered inside the T_d(19151)‐C₇₆ cage. Computational studies further revealed that the cluster motion of the Sc₂O is more restrained in the T_d(19151)‐C₇₆ cage than that in the C_s(6)‐C₈₂ cage. These results suggest that cage size affects not only the shapes but also the cluster motion inside fullerene cages.     

Dynamics of Quantum Discord of Two-Qubit Coupled with a Vacuum Cavity

The dynamical behaviors of quantum discord between two atoms coupled with a vacuum cavity are investigated. If the two qubits are initially prepared in two extended Werner-like states, the quantum discord and entanglement can be numerically calculated. There are remarkable differences between the time evolutions of the quantum discord and entanglement under the same conditions. These results imply that quantum discord is not zero for some unentangled states and in some regions entanglement can disappear completely. A large amount of quantum discord exists between the two-qubit. Thus, the quantum discord is more robust than entanglement for the quantum system exposed to the environment. The quantum discord shows sudden change and its existence depends on the initial state of the system. This property of quantum discord may have important implications for experimental characterization of quantum phase transitions.     

Surface modification of pure titanium by hydroxyapatite-containing composite coatings

Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is commonly applied to modify the surface of titanium (Ti)-based medical implants with a bioactive and porous Ti oxide (TiO₂) coating. The study reports a new method of incorporating hydroxyapatite (HA) within the TiO₂ coating by MAO and alkali heat treatment (AHT) in the solution containing Ca ion and P ion. The morphology, composition and phase composition of the coatings were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer and X-ray diffraction. Surface topography and roughness of the coatings were investigated by atomic force microscopy operated in the tapping mode. The results showed that TiO₂-based coatings were obtained on pure Ti by MAO with an electrolyte containing Ca ion and P ion; the prepared MAO coatings were mainly composed of Ca, P, O and Ti. AHT transformed Ca and P to HA crystals. In conclusion, the TiO₂/HA composite coatings can be obtained on the surface of pure Ti by MAO and AHT, and the addition of Ca ion and P ion to the AHT solution contributed to the formation of HA.     

The Morphology Evolution of Nickel Phosphite Hexagonal Polyhedrons and Their Primary Electrochemical Capacitor Applications

Nickel posphite (Ni₁₁(HPO₃)₈(OH)₆) hexagonal polyhedrons are successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The effect of surfactants on the growth mechanism of Ni₁₁(HPO₃)₈(OH)₆ are also explored. More importantly, Ni₁₁(HPO₃)₈(OH)₆ hexagonal polyhedrons are successfully applied as electrochemical supercapacitor electrode materials, which have a good specific capacitance (295 F g^?1 at 0.625 A g^?1), good rate capability, and cycling properties (maintained about 99.3% at 0.625 A g^?1 after 1000 cycles).

Magnetostriction and magnetoresistance in nanocontacts

Ni nanocontacts have been grown by electrodeposition using a self-terminating technique in a single electrolyte bath based on nickel sulfate, nickel chloride and boric acid. Resistance measurements performed on different samples presented two kinds of obviously different magnetoresistance effects. The analysis of the data sets showed that magnetostriction might play a key role in magnetoresistance of the electrodeposited Ni nanocontacts.
