完全Heusler合金Cr2ZrSb/Sc2FeSn(100)异质结的结构、电磁特性及电子性质

本文采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,系统研究了完全Heusler合金Cr₂ZrSb/Sc₂FeSn(100)异质结中六种界面CrCr-ScFe-T、ZrSb-ScSn-T、CrCr-ScSn-B、ZrSb-ScFe-B、CrCr-ScFe-V和 ZrSb-ScSn-V的电磁特性及电子性质。结果表明,界面原子间的相互作用造成了界面间原子层的不均匀,导致界面层的力学失配率加大。与块体中的高自旋极化率相比,异质结的自旋极化率遭到不同程度的破坏。但是,ZrSb-ScFe-B界面保留了较高的自旋极化率值,通过Julliere模型预测该异质结在低温下隧道磁电阻值约为429.29%,在自旋电子学器件中具有潜在的应用前景。     

Enhancement of diastereoselectivity in photodimerization of alkyl 2-naphthoates with chiral auxiliaries via inclusion within γ-cyclodextrin cavities

Irradiations of alkyl 2-naphthoates are known to result in four isomeric "cubane-like" photodimers: anti(HH)-2, syn(HH)-2, anti(HT)-2, and syn(HT)-2 where the anti(HH)-2, anti(HT)-2, and syn(HT)-2 consist of pairs of diastereomers. Here, chiral auxiliary and chiral microreactor strategies have been combined to achieve high diastereoselectivity in photodimerizations of an enantiomeric pair of 2-naphthoates with (R)- and (S)-1-methoxycarbonylethyl esters as chiral auxiliaries (1R and 1S). Thus, irradiations of their γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) complexes have been conducted. Fluorescence, IR, and NMR spectra of both enantiomers of 1 demonstrate that their γ-CD complexes are mainly 2:2 with the molecules of 1 in head-to-head orientations. Irradiation of the complexes in the solid state mainly resulted in anti(HH)-2. The absolute configuration of each diastereomer of anti(HH)-2 has been established for the first time here. The diastereomeric excesses (de's) of anti(HH)-2 from 1R and 1S were 94% and 86%, respectively. These de's are much higher than those found from irradiations in solution (55% for 1R and 1S), where the opposite diastereomeric form is in excess! Calculations of the energies of various conformations of the head-to-head 2:2 inclusion complexes were performed using the PM3 approach. The predicted major diastereomers based on the calculation are consistent with those found experimentally.

2D Confined‐Space Assisted Growth of Molecular‐Level‐Thick Polypyrrole Sheets with High Conductivity and Transparency

Herein, the use of a 2D soft template system composed of hundred‐nanometer‐thick water/ethanol mixed layers sandwiched by lamellar bilayer membranes of a self‐assembled amphiphilic molecule to produce ultrathin polyprrole (PPy) with a uniform thickness as thin as 3.8 nm and with large dimensions (>2 μm²) is presented. The obtained PPy nanosheets exhibit regioregularity with ordered chain alignment where the polymer chains in the nanosheets produced are well aligned with a clear interchain spacing as confirmed by small‐angle X‐ray scattering measurement. The molecular‐level‐thick PPy nanosheets exhibit extremely high conductivity up to 1330 S m⁻¹, thanks to the ordered alignment of polymer chains in the nanosheets, and a high transparency in both the visible region (transmittance >99%) and near‐infrared region (transmittance >93%).

     

Regulatory Mechanism of the Enantioselective Intramolecular Enone [2+2] Photocycloaddition Reaction Mediated by a Chiral Lewis Acid Catalyst Containing Heavy Atoms

The asymmetric catalysis of the intramolecular enone [2+2] photocycloaddition has been subject of extensive experimental studies, however theoretical insight to its regulatory mechanism is still sparse. Accurate quantum chemical calculations at the CASPT2//CASSCF level of theory associated with energy‐consistent relativistic pseudopotentials provide a basis for the first regulation theory that the enantioselective reaction is predominantly controlled by the presence of relativistic effects, that is, spin–orbit coupling resulting from heavy atoms in the chiral Lewis acid catalyst.     

A NEW FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACE COMPOSED OF LEFT-HANDED MATERIALS

The frequency selective characteristics of a new dielectric periodic structure composed of left-handed materials (LHM) are carefully studied by a method which combines the multimode network theory with the rigorous mode matching method. The variations of the frequency selective characteristics with structure parameters and dielectric loss are presented and comparisons for the frequency selective properties between RHM and LHM gratings are also shown with some explanations. Guidelines for accurate design of the LHM dielectric frequency selective surface are given.

Channels to Singlet and Triplet Phenylcarbenes in Phenyldiazomethane: A CASSCF and MRCI Study

Diazo compounds such as phenyldiazomethane (C₆H₅C(H)N₂) exhibit intriguing phenomena including the ultrafast formation of singlet carbene and the excited‐state rearrangement reaction (RIES). In this work, we have used multi‐reference configuration interaction with single and double excitations (MRCI‐SD) and complete active space self‐consistent field (CASSCF) methods to study the photodissociation dynamics of C₆H₅C(H)N₂. The equilibrium structures, transition states in the lowest three electronic states (S₁, T₁, and S₀), and S₁/S₀ and T₁/S₀ minimum‐energy crossing points both in the Franck–Condon region and on the pathway of the CN bond dissociation have been optimized. On the basis of the calculated S₁, T₁, and S₀ potential energy surfaces, we have uncovered the most efficient pathways to the lowest singlet and triplet phenylcarbenes (C₆H₅CH) in irradiated C₆H₅C(H)N₂.     

One-pot synthesis,characterization, and drug loading of polysaccharide-based nanoparticles with carboxy functional groups

Herein, various polysaccharide-based nanoparticles were synthesized from dextran, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose, respectively, by a self-assembly assisted approach. This approach enables us to prepare stable polysaccharide-based nanoparticles with carboxy functional groups directly from monomers without using any surfactant and organic solvent. The existence of abundant carboxyls in these polysaccharide-based nanoparticles provides them obvious pH sensitivity as verified by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance as well as the potential in loading cationic drug.     

Analysis of Transmission Characteristics for NRD/Microstrip Line Hybrid Integrated LSE and LSM-Mode Baluns*

The NRD/microstrip line hybrid integration structure shows good behavior for millimeter wave applications. This paper applies the integral equations method to analyze the transmission characteristics of the NRD/microstrip line hybrid integrated baluns coupling through slot and operating in LSE or LSM modes. To apply this method, a new Greens’ function of microstrip line is presented and the slot coupling problems between NRD guide and microstrip line and the practical LSE and LSM-mode baluns are analyzed respectively. The availability of the present approach is validated by rather good agreement between the theoretical results and the experiment data given in the literature.* Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 60371010) (No. 60471037)
