The Coordination Chemistry of f-Block Elements in Molten Salts

The coordination chemistry of f-block elements (lanthanide and actinide) in molten salts has become a resounding topic in view of its great importance to the research and development (R&D) of molten salt reactors and pyroprocessing. In this Review article, a general overview of the coordination chemistry of f-block elements in molten salts is provided including past achievements and recent advances. Particular emphases are placed on the oxidation state, speciation, and solution structure of f-block metal ions in molten salts, as well as their relationships with the salt composition. Furthermore, this review briefly discusses the spectroscopic and theoretical methods that complement each other in revealing the coordination properties.

拓扑材料中的超导

近来,人们在凝聚态体系中发现了由拓扑不变量定义的物相,其中最重要的有拓扑绝缘体、拓扑半金属和拓扑超导体等.这些物相的拓扑性质由非平凡的拓扑数描述,相应的材料被称为拓扑材料,具有诸多新奇的物理特性.其中拓扑超导体由于边界上有满足非阿贝尔统计的Majorana零能模,成为实现拓扑量子计算的主要候选材料.除了探索本征的拓扑超导体外,由于拓扑性质上的相似性,在不超导的拓扑材料中调制出超导自然成为了实现拓扑超导的重要手段.目前,人们发展了栅极调制、掺杂、高压、近邻效应调制和硬针尖点接触等多种技术,已经成功地在许多拓扑绝缘体和半金属中诱导出了超导,并对超导的拓扑性和Majorana零能模进行了研究.本文回顾了本征拓扑超导候选材料,以及拓扑绝缘体和半金属中诱导出超导的代表性工作,评述了不同实验手段的优势和缺陷、分析了其超导拓扑性的证据,并提出展望.     

Computing upward topological book embeddings of upward planar digraphs

We describe a unified approach for studying book, point-set, and simultaneous embeddability problems of upward planar digraphs. The approach is based on a linear time strategy to compute an upward planar drawing of an upward planar digraph such that all vertices are collinear. Besides having impact in relevant application domains of graph drawing and computational geometry, the presented results open new research directions in the area of upward planarity with constraints of the positions of the vertices.     

Theoretical study on the mechanism for the excited-state double proton transfer process of an asymmetric Schiff base ligand

Excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) in the 1-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-hydrazonomethyl]-naphthalen-2-ol (HYDRAVH₂) ligand was studied by the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory method. The analysis of frontier molecular orbitals, infrared spectra, and non-covalent interactions have cross-validated that the asymmetric structure has an influence on the proton transfer, which makes the proton transfer ability of the two hydrogen protons different. The potential energy surfaces in both S₀ and S₁ states were scanned with varying O-H bond lengths. The results of potential energy surface analysis adequately proved that the HYDRAVH₂ can undergo the ESDPT process in the S₁ state and the double proton transfer process is a stepwise proton transfer mechanism. Our work can pave the way towards the design and synthesis of new molecules.     

Sentinel-2卫星的多光谱轻量级船舶目标检测算法

近年来深度卷积神经网络在可见光船舶检测方面取得了显著的进展，然而，大多数相关研究是通过改进大型的网络结构来提高检测性能，因此加大了对更高计算机性能的需求。此外，可见光图像难以在云、雾、海杂波、黑夜等复杂场景检测到船舶。针对以上问题，提出了一种融合红（red, R）、绿（green, G）、蓝（blue, B）和近红外（NIR）4个波段光谱信息的由粗到精细的轻量型船舶检测算法。与现有的方法中根据光谱特性利用水体检测算法提取水体区域不同之处是该算法是利用改进的水体检测算法来提取船舶候选区域。为获取更准确的候选区域，对船舶、厚云、薄云、平静海面、杂波海面5种场景中4个波段的像素值进行了统计分析，选取近红外大于阈值作为辅助判断，并以其中心点获取候选区域32×32大小的切片，并对切片进行非极大值抑制，由此获得了船舶粗检测结果。随后构建了轻量级LSGFNet网络对船舶候选区域切片进行精细识别。构建的网络融合了1×1卷积提取的波谱特征与3×3的提取几何特征，为防止光谱特征与几何特征的信息在融合时“信息不流通”，在LSGFNet网络中引入了ShuffleNet中的通道打乱机制，并减小了模型结构，与典型的轻量级网络相比具有更好的效果且模型较小。最后，利用Sentinel-2卫星多光谱10 m分辨率数据构建了512×512大小的1 120组数据进行粗检测，以及32×32大小的6 014组数据进行精细网络训练，其中候选区域粗提取的查全率为98.99%，精细识别网络精确度为96.04%，不同场景下的平均精确度为92.98%。实验表明该算法在抑制云层、海浪杂波等干扰的复杂背景下具有较高的检测效率，且训练时间短、计算机性能需求低。     

限域量子态调控研究

电子、激子和声子等量子态在固体中的行为早已被人们所熟知. 然而，当体系的尺寸只有纳米量级的时候，已有的固体理论常常不能适用，需要新的低维物理理论的建立. 我们系统研究了低维体系限域量子态（包括电子、激子和声子）的行为对环境、应力、压力及光的响应和性质的调控. 较早认识到低维体系之显著的表面-体积比对量子态性质调控之有效性，系统地揭示了低维体系的一系列由表面和应力决定的新颖性质，证明了低维体系的表面和应力效应同量子限域效应同等重要. 本文概况了如下五个方面的结果：（1）一种使用应力效应调控电子能带结构的方法和（2）一种使用表面效应调控电子能带结构的方法（这两个方法都可将低维体系能带从间接能隙调控至直接能隙能带结构）；（3）一种低维体系表面掺杂方法，该方法将在低维体系掺杂中取代传统方法；（4）量子点表面诱导的光致异构现象；（5）基于表面自催化半导体低维结构的形成机理. 希望我们的研究工作有助于促进低维体系在光电子、纳电子、环境、能源、生物和医学等领域的应用.
