Transient transition behaviors of fractional-order simplest chaotic circuit with bi-stable locally-active memristor and its ARM-based implementation

This paper proposes a fractional-order simplest chaotic system using a bi-stable locally-active memristor. The characteristics of the memristor and transient transition behaviors of the proposed system are analyzed, and this circuit is implemented digitally using ARM-based MCU. Firstly, the mathematical model of the memristor is designed, which is nonvolatile, locally-active and bi-stable. Secondly, the asymptotical stability of the fractional-order memristive chaotic system is investigated and some sufficient conditions of the stability are obtained. Thirdly, complex dynamics of the novel system are analyzed using phase diagram, Lyapunov exponential spectrum, bifurcation diagram, basin of attractor, and coexisting bifurcation, coexisting attractors are observed. All of these results indicate that this simple system contains the abundant dynamic characteristics. Moreover, transient transition behaviors of the system are analyzed, and it is found that the behaviors of transient chaotic and transient period transition alternately occur. Finally, the hardware implementation of the fractional-order bi-stable locally-active memristive chaotic system using ARM-based STM32F750 is carried out to verify the numerical simulation results.     

Bi/Bi_2O_3 nanoparticles supported on N-doped reduced graphene oxide for highly efficient CO_2 electroreduction to formate

Electrocatalytic CO_2 reduction(CO_2 ER) into formate is a desirable route to achieve efficient transformation of CO_2 to value-added chemicals,however,it still suffers from limited catalytic activity and poor selectivity.Herein,we develop a hybrid electrocatalyst composed of bismuth and bismuth oxide nanoparticles(NPs) supported on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide(Bi/Bi_2 O_3/NrGO) nanosheets prepared by a combined hydrothermal with calcination treatment.Thanks to the combination of undercoordinated sites and strong synergistic effect between Bi and Bi_2 O_3,Bi/Bi_2 O_3/NrGO-700 hybrid displays a promoted CO2 ER catalytic performance and selectivity for formate production,as featured by a small onset potential of-0.5 V,a high current density of-18 mA/cm~2,the maximum Faradaic efficiency of85% at-0.9 V,and a low Tafel slope of 166 mV/dec.Experimental results reveal that the higher CO_2 ER performance of Bi/Bi_2 O_3/NrGO-700 than that of Bi NPs supported on NrGO(Bi/NrGO) can be due to the partial reduction of Bi_2 O_3 NPs into Bi,which significantly increases undercoordinated active sites on Bi NPs surface,thus boosting its CO_2 ER performance.Furthermore,a two-electrode device with Ir/C anode and Bi/Bi_2 O_3/NrGO-700 cathode could be integrated with two alkaline batteries or a planar solar cell to achieve highly active water splitting and CO_2 ER.     

The first excited single-proton resonance in 15F by complex-scaled Green's function method

The complex-scaled Green's function(CGF)method is employed to explore the single-proton resonance in 15F.Special attention is paid to the first excited resonant state 5/2+,which has been widely studied in both theory and experiments.However,past studies generally overestimated the width of the 5/2+state.The predicted energy and width of the first excited resonant state 5/2+by the CGF method are both in good agreement with the experimental value and close to Fortune's new estimation.Furthermore,the influence of the potential parameters and quadruple deformation effects on the resonant states are investigated in detail,which is helpful to the study of the shell structure evolution.     

复动量表象方法对奇特核中晕现象的研究

晕现象的研究使人们对核结构有了新的认识。连续谱，尤其是连续谱中的共振态在其中扮演着重要角色。复动量表象(CMR)方法不仅能够统一描述束缚态、共振态和连续谱，而且能够很好地描述窄共振和宽共振。本文介绍了CMR方法对原子核共振态的研究。给出了31Ne和19C等核的束缚态和共振态的单粒子能量随形变参数β₂的变化规律，分析了19C和31Ne中单中子晕形成的物理机制和在中子数N=20附近能级反转的原因，并预测了比37Mg重的核中的单中子晕现象，这一预测结果对在实验中寻找较重的晕核具有一定的参考价值。这些研究表明CMR 方法不仅适用于描述稳定核，也适用于描述具有弥散物质分布的奇特核。     

Mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe based on vibration-induced emission for real-time monitoring mitophagy-specific viscosity dynamic

Directly monitoring mitophagy-specific viscosity dynamic in living cells is of great significance but remains challenging. Herein, this study reported a novel mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe DPAC-DY based on vibration-induced emission (VIE) for monitoring viscosity changes during mitochondrial autophagy. This probe contained N,N'-diphenyl- dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (DPAC) as the VIE core and two positively charged pyridinium moieties for mitochondria anchoring. As the ambient viscosity increased, the vibration of DPAC-DY could be hindered, and subsequently resulting in the enhancement of fluorescence emission. In vitro and intracellular experiments indicated that the probe DPAC-DY showed highly sensitive response to viscosity due to VIE mechanism. Importantly, by virtue of this probe, in situ and real-time visualization of the specific viscosity dynamics during the mitochondrial autophagy process was achieved. Thus, this work provides a novel strategy for VIE-based viscosity response sensors applied to specific organelles and offers a platform for in-depth study of mitochondrial viscosity-related diseases.     

温度对低共熔溶剂影响的二维拉曼光谱研究

低共熔溶剂（DES）作为一种新式的绿色溶剂，在多种化学过程中表现出色，因此在诸多热门范畴都展现出良好的发展潜力。对DES的光谱分析通常局限在一维光谱技术上，但其分辨率低、谱峰重叠严重等缺点，导致光谱数据存在误差。运用二维拉曼光谱（2D Raman），能够明显提高光谱分辨率，并发现重叠峰位置，获得在外扰条件下不同谱峰的变化顺序及其相互作用等重要信息，以实现对复杂体系的精确分析。以氯化胆碱（ChCl）和ZnCl₂合成的DES为例，利用显微共焦激光拉曼光谱仪分别对ChCl和DES进行拉曼实验，发现与ChCl相比，DES中各处峰的整体强度显著下降，原有的谱峰未消失，说明Zn2+的加入没有破坏ChCl的骨架结构。287 cm-1处出现一个新的特征峰，推测有Zn-Cl配位键的伸缩振动。对DES进行升温拉曼实验，发现随着温度的升高，NC₄的不对称伸缩振动峰强度逐渐减小，峰宽变大，峰形变缓，Zn-Cl配位键伸缩振动峰强度逐渐降低，峰位置基本不变，峰形有明显重叠。运用2D Raman技术对溶液内NC₄和Zn-Cl特征峰的变化进行研究，结果表明，随着温度的升高，溶液中发生ChCl向Ch+的解离过程，Zn2+与Cl-形成了多种配合物，ZnCl-₃，Zn₂Cl-₅，Zn₃Cl-₇之间存在相互转化。不同位置的特征峰随温度的变化顺序不同，将特征峰与团簇进行一一归属，得出了各个团簇对温度的敏感程度。基于量子化学中的密度泛函理论，对推测的物质结构进行构型优化和参数计算，证实了其存在的可能性，同时也验证了2D Raman的分析结果准确可行。这些结果将为DES的后续研究提供理论参考，拓展了二维光谱技术的应用范围。
