Electron localization enhanced photon absorption for the missing opacity in solar interior

The internal solar structure predicted by the standard solar model disagrees with the helioseismic observations even by utilizing the most updated physical inputs, such as the opacity and element abundances. By increasing the Rosseland mean, the decade-old open problem of the missing opacity can be resolved. Herein, we propose that the continuum electrons in the radiative processes lose phases and coherence as matter waves, giving rise to a phenomenon of transient spatial localization. It not only enhances the continuum opacity but also increases the line widths of the bound-bound transitions. We demonstrate our theoretical formulation by investigating the opacity of solar mixtures in the interior. The Rosseland mean demonstrates an increase of 10%-26% in the range of 0.3 R⊙-0.75 R⊙. The results are compared with the recent experimental data and the existing theoretical models. Our findings provide novel clues to the open problem of the missing opacity in the solar interior and new insight on the radiative opacity in the hot dense-plasma regime.     

紫外可见偏振成像光谱仪的光谱定标与匹配方法

紫外可见偏振成像光谱仪中沃拉斯顿棱镜的色散效应会导致探测器同一空间通道的中心坐标发生偏移，影响目标信号探测精度。根据偏振解调算法，利用沃拉斯顿棱镜出射的两正交分量调制光谱(S光和P光)实现偏振信息解调时，还需要完成光谱匹配。针对这一问题，提出了一种光谱定标与匹配方法。首先利用平行光源标定了仪器视场角与空间维像元的对应关系，提取出各空间通道对应的像元坐标集合并确定了视场定标方程；在同一空间通道内，通过低压汞灯标准光源对波长与像元的对应关系进行标定，得出光谱定标方程；利用视场定标和光谱定标结果完成正交分量光谱的匹配；最后利用太阳光谱中Fraunhofer线的特征波长对定标结果进行了检验。结果表明：紫外可见偏振成像光谱仪正交分量的光谱吸收峰位具有较好的一致性，定标值和标准值的偏差在0.1 nm以内，这验证了定标结果的准确性。     

Pressure-Driven Ne-Bearing Polynitrides with Ultrahigh Energy Density

Neon（Ne） can reveal the evolution of planets,and nitrogen（N） is the most abundant element in the Earth’s atmosphere.Considering the inertness of neon,whether nitrogen and neon can react has aroused great interest in condensed matter physics and space science.Here,we identify three new Ne-N compounds(i.e.,NeN₆,NeN₁₀,and NeN₂₂) under pressure by first-principles calculations.We find that inserting Ne into N₂ substantially decreases the polymeric pressure...     

Machine-learning-driven on-demand design of phononic beams

The development of phononic crystals, especially their interaction with topological insulators, allows exploration of the anomalous properties of acoustic/elastic waves for various applications. However, rapidly and inversely exploring the geometry of specific targets remains a major challenge. In this work, we show how machine learning can address this challenge by studying phononic crystal beams using two different inverse design schemes. We first develop the theory of phononic beams using the transfer matrix method. Then, we use the reinforcement learning algorithm to effectively and inversely design the structural parameters to maximize the bandgap width. Furthermore, we employ the tandem-architecture neural network to solve the training-difficulty problem caused by inconsistent data and complete the task of inverse structure design with the targeted topological properties. The two inverse-design schemes have different adaptabilities, and both are characterized by high efficiency and stability. This work provides deep insights into the combination of machine learning, topological property,and phononic crystals and offers a reliable platform for rapidly and inversely designing complex material and structure properties.     

Numerical study of dynamic zigzag patterns in migrating epithelial tissue

Collective cell migration plays a crucial role in embryonic development, metastasis, and wound healing. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, how the coordination between the cell motility and deformations affects the collective motion of epithelial cells is not fully understood. In this work, we propose a modified self-propelled Voronoi model for epithelial cell migration incorporating the coupling between the self-propulsion of cells and the polarization of the cell elongation. At a high coupling strength,we observe the emergence of backward traveling band structures formed by highly aligned cells, which can be regulated by cell elongations or shape anisotropy. Increasing the cell shape anisotropy, we find that large bands split into multiple small microbands. The latter essentially forms a dynamic zigzag pattern, in which the angle between the polarization direction of the bands and the migration direction switches alternatively between π/4 and-π/4 because the cells are forced to move preferentially in the anterior direction. We also analyzed the disclinations in the cell monolayer, force distribution near the domain boundaries and the shape alignment of the epithelial monolayer during the formation of this dynamic pattern. The present findings may further our understanding of stripe pattern formations in living systems and inspire potential designs for cell sorting.     

数学定理教学的“转识成智”——以初中“垂径定理”起始课为例北大核心

1问题提出重视定理教学“过程”是核心素养培养的必然要求,也获得了中小学数学教师的广泛赞同,但有些“过程”却事与愿违.以初中“垂径定理”的教学为例,很多教师并没有关注到这是“圆”章节的起始定理,直接让学生沿直径翻折圆形纸片,得出圆的轴对称性,并用动态课件验证(环节1);继而形式化分析证明圆的轴对称性,由此得到“垂径定理”(环节2).     

由超辐射引起的迁移率边和重返局域化

研究了束缚在梯子形光晶格中的中性原子与高精度腔耦合的系统,发现由超辐射引起的准周期调制可以导致迁移率边和重返局域化现象的出现.在平均场近似下,超辐射现象可以引起两种不同频率的准周期调制,它们可以由腔场和泵浦场有效调节.在本文的观测范围内,当高频调制强度小于某一临界值时,系统随着低频调制强度的增加经历一次局域转变.通过数值求解分形维度、密度分布、平均参与率、平均逆参与率以及标度分析,证明了局域转变历经的临界相区存在迁移率边;当高频调制强度大于临界值时,随着低频调制强度的增强,系统依次经历完全扩展相-临界相-完全局域相-临界相-完全局域相,这是一个典型的重返局域化现象.最后给出了局域化相图.该研究结果为超辐射相变和重返局域化现象的研究建立了联系,也为重返局域化的研究搭建了新的平台.

AuNP aggregation-induced quantitative colorimetric aptasensing of sulfadimethoxine with a smartphone

A gold nanoparticle(AuNP) aggregation-induced colorimetric aptasensing method for quantitative detection of sulfadimethoxine(SDM) with a smartphone was developed. AuNPs were complexed with aptamers which protected Au NPs from aggregating in high-concentration salt solutions. In the presence of SDM,SDM bound with the aptamer on the surface of Au NPs with higher affinity, which competitively desorbed the aptamer from the AuNP surface and resulted in AuNPs aggregation, accompanied with a color chan...
