Theoretical study of (e,2e) triple differential cross sections of pyrimidine and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol molecules using multi-center distorted-wave method

We report theoretical studies of electron impact triple differential cross sections of two bio-molecules,pyrimidine and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol,in the coplanar asymmetric kinematic conditions with the impact energy of 250 eV and ejected electron energy of 20 eV at three scattering angles of-5°,-10°,and-15°.Present multi-center distorted-wave method well describes the experimental data,which was obtained by performing(e,2e)experiment.The calculations show that the secondary electron produced by the primary impact electron is strongly influenced by the molecular ionic multi-center potential,which must be considered when the low energy electron interacts with DNA analogues.     

Electrochemiluminescence Enhanced by the Synergetic Effect of Porphyrin and Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes for Uric Acid Detection

The design and exploration of efficient, stable and environmentally compatible organic emitters for an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor is a promising topic. Herein, a novel environmentally-friendly luminophore, ZnBCBTP@MWCNTs, were fabricated via self-assembly of porphyrin molecules (ZnBCBTP) onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The resulting luminophore ZnBCBTP@MWCNTs displayed not only the highly ECL property and but also the good accelerated electron mobility. Then, a label-free ECL biosensor based ZnBCBTP@MWCNTs was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection of uric acid. Excitingly, this proposed ECL biosensor performed a good linear relationship in the range of 0–300 μM with a low detection limit of 1.4 μM, thus offering another reliable and feasible sensing platform for clinical bioanalysis with good selectivity, stability, and repeatability.

拓扑近藤绝缘体SmB6中的奇异电子性质

拓扑近藤绝缘体是一种本征的强关联拓扑电子体系，其体能隙来源于近藤关联效应。自2010年拓扑近藤绝缘体的理论概念被提出后，六硼化钐(SmB6) 作为第一种被预测为拓扑近藤绝缘体的材料在这十多年中被多种实验手段反复研究验证，被广泛接受认为是第一种拓扑近藤绝缘体。在这篇综述中，我们回顾了关于SmB6 的一些重要实验结果，比如电输运测量，角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES), 表面形貌分析(STM) 等，并论述了如何通过这些关键的实验证据证实SmB6 的拓扑近藤绝缘物相。同时，我们也展示了SmB6 这一关联电子体系的其他奇异物性，包括中间价态在表面和体内的分离现象，以及量子振荡发现的体振荡信号等等。这些性质表明我们对SmB6 这一材料的理解仍然不充分，其中还有更为丰富的物理值得挖掘。     

Horizontal convection in a rectangular enclosure driven by a linear temperature profile

The horizontal convection in a square enclosure driven by a linear temperature profile along the bottom boundary is investigated numerically by using a finite difference method. The Prandtl number is fixed at 4.38, and the Rayleigh number Ra ranges from107 to 1011. The convective flow is steady at a relatively low Rayleigh number, and no thermal plume is observed, whereas it transits to be unsteady when the Rayleigh number increases beyond the critical value. The scaling law for the Nusselt number Nu changes from Rossby's scaling Nu ～ Ra~(1/5) in a steady regime to Nu ～ Ra~(1/4) in an unsteady regime, which agrees well with the theoretically predicted results. Accordingly,the Reynolds number Re scaling varies from Re ～ Ra~(3/11) to Re ～ Ra~(2/5). The investigation on the mean flows shows that the thermal and kinetic boundary layer thickness and the mean temperature in the bulk zone decrease with the increasing Ra. The intensity of fluctuating velocity increases with the increasing Ra.     

Effect of biaxial strain and hydrostatic pressure on the magnetic properties of bilayer CrI3

Two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic materials are intriguing for applications in the future spintronics devices, so it is crucial to explore strategy to control the magnetic properties. Here, we carried out first-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the effect of biaxial strain and hydrostatic pressure on the magnetic properties of the bilayer CrI₃. We found that the magnetic anisotropy, intralayer and interlayer exchange interactions, and Curie temperature can be tuned by biaxial strain and hydrostatic pressure. Large compressive biaxial strain may induce a ferromagneticto-antiferromagnetic transition of both CrI₃ layers. The hydrostatic pressure could enhance the intralayer exchange interaction significantly and hence largely boost the Curie temperature. The effect of the biaxial strain and hydrostatic pressure revealed in the bilayer CrI₃ may be generalized to other two-dimensional magnetic materials.
