Bio‐orthogonal AIE Dots Based on Polyyne‐Bridged Red‐emissive AIEgen for Tumor Metabolic Labeling and Targeted Imaging

In this work, we aim to develop cancer cell‐targeting AIE dots based on a polyyne‐bridged red‐emissive AIEgen, 2TPE‐4E, through the combination of metabolic engineering and bio‐orthogonal reactions. Azide groups on a tumor were efficiently produced by intravenous injection of Ac4ManNAz and glycol‐metabolic engineering. These bio‐orthogonal azide groups could facilitate the specific targeting of DBCO‐AIE dots to the tumor cells undergoing metal‐free click reaction in vivo. The efficiency of this targeting strategy could be further improved with the development of new bio‐orthogonal chemical groups with higher reactivity and a large amount of AIEgens could be delivered to the tumor for diagnosis.     

Nanoscale C‐Rich SixC1−x Bus/Ring Waveguide Based Cross‐Wavelength Data Converter

The carbon‐rich silicon carbide (C‐rich Si_xC_1?x) micro‐ring channel waveguide with asymmetric core aspect is demonstrated for all‐optical cross‐wavelength pulsed return‐to‐zero on‐off keying (PRZ‐OOK) data conversion. Enhanced nonlinear optical Kerr switching enables 12‐Gbit per second data processing with optimized modulation depth. The inverse tapered waveguide at end‐face further enlarges the edge‐coupling efficiency, and the asymmetric channel waveguide distinguishes the polarization modes. To prevent data shape distortion, the bus/ring gap spacing is adjusted to control the quality factor (Q‐factor) of the micro‐ring. Designing the waveguide cross section at 500 × 350 nm² provides the C‐rich Si_xC_1?x channel waveguide to induce strong transverse electric mode (TE‐mode) confinement with a large Kerr nonlinearity of 2.44 × 10^?12 cm² W^?1. Owing to the trade‐off between the Q‐factor and the on/off extinction ratio, the optimized bus/ring gap spacing of 1400 nm is selected to provide a coupling ratio at 5–6% for compromising the modulation depth and the switching throughput. Such a C‐rich Si_xC_1?x micro‐ring with asymmetric channel waveguide greatly enhances the cross‐wavelength data conversion efficiency to favor its on‐chip all‐optical data processing applications for future optoelectronic interconnect circuits.

基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的广义梯度近似(GGA),本文对本征石墨烯以及掺杂Fe,Co,Ni石墨烯的几何结构和电子性质进行了优化计算,并计算了C_2H_4在本征石墨烯以及掺杂石墨烯表面的吸附过程,讨论了体系的吸附能、稳定性、DOS及掺杂对键长的影响.结果表明C_2H_4在本征石墨烯B位的吸附和掺杂石墨烯的吸附为化学吸附,在本征石墨烯T和H位的吸附为物理吸附;掺杂后石墨烯的比表面积增大,与本征石墨烯相比,掺杂使费米能级附近的态密度积分显著提高,表明掺杂石墨烯的电导性会发生变化,从而影响对C_2H_4的气敏度..C_2H_4在Fe、Co、Ni分别掺石墨烯的最佳吸附位为T位、H位和B位;掺杂Fe,Ni后体系的吸附能力显著提高,且掺杂Ni时体系的吸附能力最好.     

A coupled-channel lattice study of the resonance-like structure Zc(3900)

In this exploratory study, near-threshold scattering of D and \begin{document}$\bar{D}^*$\end{document} meson is investigated using lattice QCD with \begin{document}$N_f=2+1+1$\end{document} twisted mass fermion configurations. The calculation is performed in the coupled-channel Lüscher finite-size formalism. The study focuses on the channel with \begin{document}$I^G(J^{PC})=1^+(1^{+-})$\end{document} where the resonance-like structure \begin{document}$Z_c(3900)$\end{document} was discovered. We first identify the two most relevant channels and the lattice study is performed in the two-channel scattering model. Combined with the two-channel Ross-Shaw theory, scattering parameters are extracted from the energy levels by solving the generalized eigenvalue problem. Our results for the scattering length parameters suggest that for the particular lattice parameters that we studied, the best fit parameters do not correspond to the peak in the elastic scattering cross-section near the threshold. Furthermore, in the zero-range Ross-Shaw theory, the scenario of a narrow resonance close to the threshold is disfavored beyond the 3\begin{document}$\sigma$\end{document} level.     

含时滞反馈与涨落质量的记忆阻尼系统的随机共振

针对具有记忆效应的欠阻尼系统, 存在时滞反馈与涨落质量, 本文主要研究了其输出稳态响应振幅的随机共振效应. 首先通过引入新变量和运用小时滞近似展开理论, 将具有非马尔科夫特性的原系统转化为等价的两维马尔科夫线性系统, 再利用Shapiro-Loginov公式和Laplace变换获得了系统响应的一阶稳态矩和稳态响应振幅的解析表达式. 结果表明: 当系统参数满足Routh-Hurwitz稳定条件时, 稳态响应振幅随质量涨落噪声强度、周期驱动信号频率以及时滞的变化均存在随机共振现象, 其中随机多共振现象也被观察到. 在适当范围内, 通过控制时滞反馈, 系统的随机共振效应随着时滞的增大而增强, 而较长的记忆时间及增大阻尼参数均对共振行为呈现抑制作用.有效调控时滞反馈与记忆效应的变化关系将有助于增强系统对周期驱动信号的响应强度. 最后, 通过数值模拟计算验证了理论结果的有效性.      

On hydrodynamic phase field models for binary fluid mixtures

Two classes of thermodynamically consistent hydrodynamic phase field models have been developed for binary fluid mixtures of incompressible viscous fluids of possibly different densities and viscosities. One is quasi-incompressible, while the other is incompressible. For the same binary fluid mixture of two incompressible viscous fluid components, which one is more appropriate? To answer this question, we conduct a comparative study in this paper. First, we visit their derivation, conservation and energy dissipation properties and show that the quasi-incompressible model conserves both mass and linear momentum, while the incompressible one does not. We then show that the quasi-incompressible model is sensitive to the density deviation of the fluid components, while the incompressible model is not in a linear stability analysis. Second, we conduct a numerical investigation on coarsening or coalescent dynamics of protuberances using the two models. We find that they can predict quite different transient dynamics depending on the initial conditions and the density difference although they predict essentially the same quasi-steady results in some cases. This study thus cast a doubt on the applicability of the incompressible model to describe dynamics of binary mixtures of two incompressible viscous fluids especially when the two fluid components have a large density deviation.     

光合释氧机理的ABEEM/MM/MD和BS-DFT理论研究

建立了S₂态光合释氧络合物（OEC）的原子-键电负性均衡模型（ABEEMσπ）的电荷参数,并使用ABEEM/MM/MD可极化力场的分子动力学模拟和对称性破损的DFT研究了光合作用制造氧气的微观机制.HF/STO-3G（采用此基组的原因请见引用文献）水平下的电荷拟合结果证明了ABEEMσπ模型计算电荷分布的合理性和高效性.MD模拟显示,S₂态Mn₄CaO₅的双向异构化过程伴随Ca上的水分子W3转移至Mn1（III）/Mn4（III）,它很可能作为底物水之一,与O5在S₄态结合产生O₂.基于此,考察了全自旋态下两种异构体形式中O－O键形成的自由基耦合机理.BS-DFT计算结果表明,开立方结构的释氧活性大大优于闭立方结构,金属锰和氧自由基的自旋耦合方式也是反应性的决定性因素,同时,OEC的结构灵活性对于S态循环和光合水分解至关重要.

A pre-organized monomer-reservoir strategy to prepare multidimensional phosphorescent organoplatinum nanocrystals and suprastructures

The preparation of multidimensional nano-and microstructures,in particular suprastructures with well-defined morphology and bright emissions,is a challenging task in supramolecular assembly.For this purpose,a new type of amphiphilic diplatinum complexes is presented as an excellent building block to assemble into highly phosphorescent nanofibers by supramolecular Pt…Pt interactions.These organoplatinum supramolecular fibers are further used as a pre-organized monomer reservior for the metal ion-triggered post-transformation into crystalline nanoneedles,nanorods,nanobunches,microplates,and microflowers with controllable morphology and bright phosphorescence.A reverse transformation of the obtained nanorods into nanofibers is demonstrated with the aid of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid.In contrast,the direct treatment of diplatinum complexes with different metal ions fails to give well-defined nano and microstructures,suggestive of the pre-organized role of nanofibers for the morphological transformation.Preliminary applications of these nano-and suprastructures in sensing temperature and organic vapours by emission signal changes are demonstrated.In contrast to the conventional hierarchical assembly,the pre-organized monomer-reservoir strategy disclosed in this study offers a versatile method for the synthesis of organic nano and suprastructures with multidimensional morphology and controllable emission properties.
