Pressure controllable phase transition in MoTe2 by the interlayer band occupancy

High pressure can effectively control the phase transition of MoTe₂ in experiment, but the mechanism is still unclear. In this work, we show by first-principles calculations that the phase transition is suppressed and $1T^{\prime }$ phase becomes more stable under high pressure, which originates from the pressure-induced change of the interlayer band occupancies near the Fermi energy. Specifically, the interlayer states of $1T^{\prime }$ phase tend to be fully occupied under high pressure, while they keep partially occupied for the $T_d$ phase. The increase of the band occupancies makes the $1T^{\prime }$ phase more favorable in energy and prevents the structure changing from $1T^{\prime }$ to $T_d$ phase. Moreover, we also analyze the superconductivity under high pressure based on BCS theory by calculating the density of states and phonon spectra. Our results may shed some light on understanding the relationship between the interlayer band occupancy and crystal stability of MoTe₂ under high pressures.

利用太赫兹光谱和密度泛函理论研究烟酰胺-庚二酸共晶体的多晶型

烟酰胺, 又称为维生素PP，是辅酶Ⅰ和辅酶Ⅱ的组成部分，是许多脱氢酶的辅酶。庚二酸是一种广泛使用的共晶体前体。烟酰胺与庚二酸形成的药物共晶体具有两种不同的多晶型, 分别为晶型Ⅰ和晶型Ⅱ。不同的药物晶型常常具有不同的物理化学性质，这些差异可能会对药物的溶出速率、稳定性以及药效具有较大影响，因此在药物领域中寻找合适的技术手段鉴别药物的不同晶型非常重要。利用太赫兹时域光谱在室温下对烟酰胺-庚二酸的两种共晶体在0.2～2.2 THz范围内进行检测，发现两者的特征吸收峰具有明显的差异，晶型Ⅰ在1.51，1.73，1.94，2.01和2.17 THz有五个特征吸收峰，其中在1.94，2.01和2.17 THz处是三个吸收强度较大的峰，而晶型Ⅱ在1.66，1.74，1.88，2.02和2.16 THz有五个特征吸收峰，与晶型Ⅰ不同的是在2.02和2.16 THz处有两个强度较大的吸收峰。利用密度泛函理论对烟酰胺-庚二酸两种共晶体进行理论计算，计算结果表明实验峰与理论峰基本对应，对吸收峰指认归属表明特征吸收峰来源于分子骨架的振动与包含氢键的振动。研究结果表明太赫兹时域光谱技术对于区分药物共晶体的多晶型现象具有重要的应用。     

Highly Effective Detection of Amitraz in Honey by Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectroscopy Coupled with Chemometric Methods

As an effective and universal acaricide, amitraz is widely used on beehives against varroasis caused by the mite Varroa jacobsoni. Its residues in honey pose a great danger to human health. In this study, a sensitive, rapid, and environmentally friendly surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy method (SERS) was developed for the determination of trace amount of amitraz in honey with the use of silver nanorod (AgNR) array substrate. The AgNR array substrate fabricated by an oblique angle deposition technique exhibited an excellent SERS activity with an enhancement factor of ∽10⁷. Density function theory was employed to assign the characteristic peak of amitraz. The detection of amitraz was further explored and amitraz in honey at concentrations as low as 0.08 mg/kg can be identified. Specifically, partial least square regression analysis was employed to correlate the SERS spectra in full-wavelength with C_amitraz to afford a multiple-quantitative amitraz predicting model. Preliminary results show that the predicted concentrations of amitraz in honey samples are in good agreement with their real concentrations. Compared with the conventional univariate quantitative model based on single peak’s intensity, the proposed multiple-quantitative predicting model integrates all the characteristic peaks of amitraz, thus offering an improved detecting accuracy and anti-interference ability.
