Selective Excitation of Band Extrema in Valley Photonic Crystals

Flexible control of building blocks of photonic crystals enables achieving desirable band structures. Exploration of photonic band extrema has brought many fantastic features to design artificial optical materials, such as Brillouin‐zone‐corner extrema for valley photonic materials and zone‐center extremum for zero‐index metamaterials. However, two such kinds of extrema are always found independently in different photonic crystals. In this work, a kind of valley photonic crystals possessing both zone‐center and zone‐corner band extrema almost at the same frequency is proposed. Inspired by antennas theory, a three‐antenna array (TAA) source is devoted to individually manipulate each extremum. The correlation coefficient is given to determine the coupling efficiency between the TAA source and extrema eigenmodes. By using a source with a high correlation coefficient, these extrema bulk states are selectively excited consistent with their eigenfields. Furthermore, three control cases are shown that multiple extrema points are simultaneously excited, in order to confirm the validity of the correlation coefficient. Finally, a potential application of a beam‐steering device is proposed through selective excitation of ternary extrema. This work develops binary valley states into ternary mix states, rendering more degrees of freedom for on‐chip optical information transport, particularly for beam steering and mode division multiplexing.     

Benzyl Borane NHC Adducts: Beyond B−C Bond Scission

Benzyl-substituted boronates and borates are widely employed as mild sources in radical or anionic transfer reactions of benzyl entities. In this process the B−C bond to the benzyl moiety is essentially ruptured. In contrast, reactions with retention of the B−C bond are poorly investigated although several other reactive sites in benzyl–boron systems are clearly inherent. In this respect, the novel reactivity of the representative borane adduct IiPr−BH₂Bn [IiPr=:C{N(iPr)CH}₂, Bn=CH₂C₆H₅] is demonstrated. Dihalogenation of the BH₂ entity is observed with BCl₃ and BBr₃, whereas BI₃ either affords IiPr−BHI₂ or proceeds with borylation of the aromatic phenyl ring to give a hydride-bridged bisborylated species. The photochemical mono- and dihalogenation of the benzylic CH₂ group was demonstrated with elemental bromine Br₂. The brominated product IiPr−BBr₂−CHBr−C₆H₅ was borylated at the benzylic carbon atom in an umpolung event with BI₃ to afford the zwitterion IiPr−BI−CH(BI₃)−C₆H₅.     

FeOOH Nanocubes Anchored on Carbon Ribbons for Use in Li/O2 Batteries

A composite of FeOOH nanocubes anchored on carbon ribbons has been synthesized and used as a cathode material for Li/O₂ batteries. Fe²⁺ ion-exchanged resin serves as a precursor for both FeOOH nanocubes and carbon ribbons, which are formed simultaneously. The as-prepared FeOOH cubes are proposed to have a core–shell structure, with FeOOH as the shell and Prussian blue as the core, based on information from XPS, TEM, and EDS mapping. As a cathode material for Li/O₂ batteries, FeOOH delivers a specific capacity of 14816 mA h g⁻¹_cathode with a cycling stability of 67 cycles over 400 h. The high performance is related to the low overpotential of the oxygen reduction/evolution reaction on FeOOH. The cube structure, the supporting carbon ribbons, and the -OOH moieties all contribute to the low overpotential. The discharge product Li₂O₂ can be efficiently decomposed in the FeOOH cathode after a charging process, leading to higher cycling stability. Its high activity and stability make FeOOH a good candidate for use in non-aqueous Li/O₂ batteries.     

Supercritical superprocesses: Proper normalization and non-degenerate strong limit

Suppose that X = {X_t, t≥0; P_μ} is a supercritical superprocess in a locally compact separable metric space E. Let φ0 be a positive eigenfunction corresponding to the first eigenvalue λ_0 of the generator of the mean semigroup of X. Then Mt := e~(-λ_0t)〈φ0,X_t〉 is a positive martingale. Let M_∞ be the limit of M_t. It is known(see Liu et al.(2009)) that M_∞ is non-degenerate if and only if the L log L condition is satisfied. In this paper we are mainly interested in the case when the L log L condition is not satisfied. We prove that, under some conditions, there exist a positive function γ_t on [0,∞) and a non-degenerate random variable W such that for any finite nonzero Borel measure μ on E,lim/t→∞γ_t〈φ0,X_t〉=W, a.s.-P_μ~.We also give the almost sure limit of γ_t〈f, X_t〉for a class of general test functions f.     

Synthesis,characterization, and electrochemistry of monophosphine‐containing diiron propane‐1,2‐dithiolate complexes related to the active site of [FeFe]‐hydrogenases

Five monophosphine‐substituted diiron propane‐1,2‐dithiolate complexes as the active site models of [FeFe]‐hydrogenases have been synthesized and characterized. Reactions of complex [Fe₂(CO)₆{μ‐SCH₂CH(CH₃)S}] ( 1 ) with a monophosphine ligand tris(4‐methylphenyl)phosphine, diphenyl‐2‐pyridylphosphine, tris(4‐chlorophenyl)phosphine, triphenylphosphine, or tris(4‐fluorophenyl)phosphine in the presence of the oxidative agent Me₃NO·2H₂O gave the monophosphine‐substituted diiron complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(L){μ‐SCH₂CH(CH₃)S}] [L = P(4‐C₆H₄CH₃)₃, 2 ; Ph₂P(2‐C₅H₄N), 3 ; P(4‐C₆H₄Cl)₃, 4 ; PPh₃, 5 ; P(4‐C₆H₄F)₃, 6 ] in 81%–94% yields. Complexes 2 – 6 have been characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy, and X‐ray crystallography. In addition, electrochemical studies revealed that these complexes can catalyze the reduction of protons to H₂ in the presence of HOAc.     

Three-term polynomial progressions in subsets of finite fields
