Energy band modulation of GaAs/Al0.26Ga0.74As quantum well in 3D self-assembled nanomembranes

In this study, we investigate the modulation of energy band in 3D self-assembled nanomembranes containing GaAs/Al_0.26Ga_0.74As quantum wells (QWs). Photoluminescence (PL) characterizations demonstrate that the self-assembled structures have different optical transition properties and the modulation of the energy band is thus realized. Detailed spectral analyses disclose that the small strain change in structures with different curvatures cannot cause remarkable change in energy bands in Al_0.26Ga_0.74As layer. On the other hand, the optical transitions of GaAs QW layer is influenced by the strain evolution in term of light emission intensity. We also find the first order Stark effect in rolled-up nanomembrane with diameter of 150 μm, which is closely connected with the coupling effect between the deformation potential and the piezoelectric potential. Our work may pave a way for the fabrication of high performance rolled-QW infrared photo-detectors.

Existence of multi-bump solutions for a system with critical exponent in RN

We consider the following system with critical exponent in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$:$\{\begin{array}{c}?\mathrm{\Delta }u=K_1(y)u^{2^{?}?1}+\frac{p}{2^{?}}V(y)u^{p?1}{v}^q\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ ?\mathrm{\Delta }v=K_2(y)v^{2^{?}?1}+\frac{q}{2^{?}}V(y)u^p{v}^{q?1}\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ u,v>0,y\in {\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \end{array}$ where $N\ge 5$, $p,q>1$ and $p+q=2^{?}=\frac{2N}{N?2}$. Using finite dimensional reduction method, we prove the existence of multi-bump solutions. Their bumps can be placed on arbitrarily many or even infinitely many lattice points in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. Since $p<2$ or $q<2$, we introduce two new norms to avoid singularity.     

Dynamic thermo-mechanical coupled simulation of statistically inhomogeneous materials by statistical second-order two-scale method

In this paper,a statistical second-order twoscale(SSOTS) method is developed to simulate the dynamic thcrmo-mechanical performances of the statistically inhomogeneous materials.For this kind of composite material,the random distribution characteristics of particles,including the shape,size,orientation,spatial location,and volume fractions,are all considered.Firstly,the repre.sentation for the microscopic configuration of the statistically inhomogeneous materials is described.Secondly,the SSOTS formulation for the dynamic thermo-mechanical coupled problem is proposed in a constructive way,including the cell problems,effective thermal and mechanical parameters,homogenized problems,and the SSOTS formulas of the temperatures,displacements,heat flux densities and stresses.And then the algorithm procedure corresponding to the SSOTS method is brought forward.The numerical results obtained by using the SSOTS algorithm are compared with those by classical methods.In addition,the thermo-mechanical coupling effect is studied by comparing the results of coupled case with those of uncoupled case.It demonstrates that the coupling effect on the temperatures,heat flux densities,displacements,and stresses is very distinct.The results show that the SSOTS method is valid to predict the dynamic thermo-mechanical coupled performances of statistically inhomogeneous materials.     

Design and synthesis of cyclic acylguanidines as BACE1 inhibitors

Based on the lead compound 1 reported in literature, a series of novel BACE1 inhibitors were designed and synthesized, among which compound 11 exhibited a 14-fold improvement in potency over the lead compound 1. This represents a good lead for the discovery of more promising BACE1 inhibitors for the potential treatment of AD.
