New Tools for Investigating Electromagnetic Hot Spots in Single‐Molecule Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is quickly growing as an analytical technique, because it offers both molecular specificity and excellent sensitivity. For select substrates, SERS can even be observed from single molecules, which is the ultimate limit of detection. This review describes recent developments in the field of single‐molecule SERS (SM‐SERS) with a focus on new tools for characterizing SM‐SERS‐active substrates and how they interact with single molecules on their surface. In particular, techniques that combine optical spectroscopy and microscopy with electron microscopy are described, including correlated optical and transmission electron microscopy, correlated super‐resolution imaging and scanning electron microscopy, and correlated optical microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy.

随着半导体集成度的不断提高,铜互连线的电阻率迅速提高。当互连线宽度接近7 nm时,铜互连线的电阻率与钴接近。IBM和美国半导体公司（ASE）已经使用金属钴取代铜作为下一代互连线材料。然而,钴种子层的形成和超级电镀钴填充7 nm微孔的技术工艺仍是一个很大的挑战。化学镀是在绝缘体表面形成金属种子层的一种非常简单的方法, 通过超级化学镀填充方式, 直径为几纳米的盲孔可以无空洞和无缝隙的方式完全填充。本文综述了化学镀钴的研究进展,并分析了还原剂种类对化学镀钴沉积速率和镀膜质量的影响。同时, 在长期从事超级化学填充研究的基础上, 作者提出了通过超级化学镀钴技术填充7 nm以及一下微盲孔的钴互连线工艺。

稀疏阈值的超分辨率图像重建

为了解决基于字典学习的超分辨重构算法耗时过长的问题,提出了基于稀疏阈值模型的图像超分辨率重建方法。首先,将联合字典理论与图像块稀疏阈值方法相结合,训练得到高、低分辨率过完备图像字典对。接着,通过稀疏阈值OMP算法对图像特征块进行稀疏表示。然后,通过高分辨率字典重构出初始的超分辨图像。最后,通过改进迭代反投影算法对初始的超分辨图像进行全局优化,从而进一步提高图像重构质量。实验结果表明,超分辨图像重构平均峰值信噪比(PSNR)为30.1 d B,平均结构自相似度(SSIM)为0.937 9,平均计算时间为10.2 s。有效提高了超分辨重构的速度,改善了重构高分辨图像的质量。     

Special tensors in the deformation theory of quadratic algebras for the classical Lie algebras

Using deformation theory, Braverman and Joseph constructed certain primitive ideals in the enveloping algebras of the simple Lie algebras. Except in the case sl(2,C)$\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(2,\mathbb{C})$, there is a special value of the deformation parameter giving an ideal of infinite codimension. For the classical Lie algebras, the uniqueness of the special value is equivalent to the existence of tensors with very particular properties. The existence of these tensors was concluded abstractly by Braverman and Joseph but here we present explicit formulae. This allows a rather direct computation of the special value of the deformation parameter.

Unraveling Dual Aggregation‐Induced Emission Behavior in Steric‐Hindrance Photochromic System for Super Resolution Imaging

Unprecedented dual aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) behavior based on a steric‐hindrance photochromic system is presented, with incorporation one or two bulky aryl groups, resulting in different flexibleness. The dual AIE behavior of open and closed isomers can be explained by restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR), restriction of intramolecular vibration (RIV), and intermolecular stacking. The large bulky benzothiophene causes restricted rotation, enhancing the emission of open form in solution and weak π–π molecular packing, thereby efficiently enhancing the luminescence performance in the solid state. With incorporation of two large bulky benzothiophene groups, BBTE possesses the most outstanding AIE activity, undergoing highly efficient and reversible off‐to‐on fluorescence in film upon alternating UV and visible light irradiation along with excellent fatigue resistance. The off‐to‐on fluorescent photoswitch is successfully established in super resolution imaging.     

Photochromism of dihydroindolizines part X. Photo‐responsive self‐assembling organogelators based on photochromic dihydroindolizines and 11‐aminoundecanoic acid (AUDA)

Multi‐addressable photophysical properties of new synthesized photochromic materials based on photochromic dihydroindolizine system (DHI) covalently linked to N‐acyl‐11 aminoundecanoic acid (AUDA) or to its sodium salt or to its ester, through an amidic or urethane linkage have been studied. The DHI skeleton in these compounds is substituted in both the fluorene part (region A) or in the heterocyclic base (region B) with the gelling moieties. These molecules have been designed to respond to their environment. Interestingly, they are shown to act as efficient gelators for polar organic fluids, water and obviously they exhibit a thermosensitive answer as low molecular mass organogelators. In these fluids, the aggregative properties are totally suppressed upon conversion to neutral carboxylic species. The gels of these carboxylate sodium salts are shown to be markedly affected by light irradiation. Supramolecular gelating assemblies can be disrupted by the photoinduced ring opening of the DHI subunit, so that the macroscopic flowing property is recovered. Upon a further thermal treatment, the system is reversibly converted back to the supramolecular network. Controlled gelation could be achieved using temperature, light, or acidity as external stimuli. These new synthesized photochromic gels with their multi‐addressable properties will find their applications as super photoresponsive materials. Developing and tuning of the photophysical properties of the synthesized compounds by the amide and urethane substituents in the 4‐position of the fluorene and pyridazine regions have been achieved. The absorption maxima (λ_max) and the half‐lives (t_1/2) of the colored betaines were detected in all cases using UV/VIS spectrophotometric measurements. Irradiation of DHI 12‐20 in CH₂Cl₂ or in acetonitrile solutions at ambient temperature with polychromatic light leads to the formation of red to red‐violet colored betaines 12 ′ ‐20 ′. The kinetics of the bleaching process of betaines 12 ′ ‐20 ′ to DHIs 12‐20 were found to take place in the second range (96‐218 s) and fit well the first order thermal back reaction. Some of these DHIs showed a photostability higher than that of the standard one. These interesting photophysical properties will help this family of compounds to find useful applications.

Homology of Nilpotent Subalgebras of the Lie Superalgebra K(1,1).3

We calculate the dimensions of the second homology groups with trivial coefficients of nilpotent subalgebras of the Lie superalgebra , which is the natural superanalog of the Witt algebra. The proof is based on direct calculations of the rank of the differential. As an application, we find deformations of the maximal nilpotent subalgebra in .     

GeO2-Bi2O3-MOx(MOx=WO3, BaO)玻璃近红外超宽带发光的研究

用高温熔融法制备了(99.5-χ) GeO₂-χBaO-0.5Bi₂O₃(χ=3, 6, 9mol%)与(99.5-φ)GeO₂-φWO₃-0.5Bi₂O₃(φ=3，6，9mol%)玻璃，测定了样品的发射光谱(800nmLD激发)、吸收光谱、荧光衰减和差热曲线.实验结果表明，在GeO₂-WO₃-Bi₂O₃系统玻璃中，随着WO₃含量的增加，在1260nm处的发光强度增强，荧光半高宽(FWHM)增宽，荧光寿命增长，而且玻璃的吸收边带发生明显的红移；在GeO₂-BaO-Bi₂O₃系统玻璃中，随着BaO含量的增加，玻璃在1290nm处发光强度增强，FWHM增宽，荧光寿命增长，吸收边带也有明显的红移.从吸收边带发生红移的情况，结合发射光谱和荧光衰减曲线特性，我们推断玻璃样品在近红外的宽带发光可能由Bi⁵⁺离子所引起.从荧光特性估算了玻璃的σ_p×τ和σ_p×Δλ值，这些玻璃均具有较小的σ_p×τ和较大的σ_p×Δλ特性，说明GeO₂-Bi₂O₃-MO_x(MO_x=WO₃, BaO) 系统玻璃是研制成近红外(O到S波段)超宽带光纤放大器的良好材料.
