二维纳米材料异质结构的原子间相互作用模型

近些年二维纳米材料得到了大量的研究,其中一个热点研究方向是将不同的二维纳米材料堆垛成纳米异质结构,从而实现多功能的纳米器件.这些二维纳米材料可以从面外和面内两个方向上进行堆垛从而形成两类不同的异质结构.在关于这类二维纳米材料及其异质结构的理论研究中,原子间的相互作用起到类似于连续介质力学中本构关系的作用.因此学者提出了多种方案用于描写原子间相互作用,主要包括第一性原理计算和经验势能模型等.本文主要是对比和分析各种描写二维纳米材料及其异质结构的常见经验势能模型,从而为研究人员选择相互作用模型提供一些参考.      

基于自相位调制光谱选择驱动的无标记自发荧光多倍频显微镜系统

由飞秒激光驱动的非线性光学显微镜技术在医学组织成像中具有很多独特的优势,包括多种成像模态、高对比度、高分辨率和无标记的深层光学切片能力等.由于缺乏波长可灵活调谐的飞秒激发光源,导致在多模态成像的同时难以兼顾每种模态的对比度,从而制约了非线性光学显微镜在医学诊断中的广泛应用.本文采用基于自相位调制光谱选择的光纤激光光源,获得了中心波长在990—1110 nm范围内可调谐的高能量飞秒脉冲,并用于驱动非线性光学显微镜.采用990 nm的飞秒脉冲,通过双光子激发荧光和二倍频对胃组织成像,进一步结合图像拼接技术成功获得了胃组织的双模态大视场图像;利用1110 nm的飞秒脉冲,实现了无标记自发荧光多倍频显微镜技术,同时高效激发了胃组织的双光子激发荧光、三光子激发荧光、二倍频和三倍频信号,获得了胃组织的多模态图像.     

Solid-gas interface thermal conductance for the thermal barrier coating with surface roughness: The confinement effect

The yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a famous thermal barrier coating material to protect hot-end components of an engine. As a characteristic feature of the YSZ, the surface roughness shall play an important role in the interface thermal conductance between the YSZ and gas, considering that the gas is typically at an extremely high temperature. We investigate the effect of the surface roughness on the thermal conductance of the YSZ-gas interface with surface roughness described by nanoscale pores on the surface of the YSZ. We reveal two competitive mechanisms related to the microstructure of the pore, i.e., the actual contact area effect and the confinement effect. The increase of the pore depth will enlarge the actual contact area between the YSZ and gas, leading to enhancement of the solid-gas interface thermal conductance. In contrast to the positive actual contact area effect, the geometry-induced confinement effect greatly reduces the interface thermal conductance. These findings shall offer some fundamental understandings for the microscopic mechanisms of the YSZ-gas interface thermal conductance.
