Information Entropy Dynamics in Spin-1 Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates

Information entropy is an important topic due to its relevance to cold atom system. Motivated by the recent work in a scalar dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), we extend this issue to the dynamics of information entropy in spin-1 dipolar BECs. Our results show that the periodicity of S_r, S_k and S is broken in the presence of magnetic dipole-dipole interactions (MDDIs). With the increase of dipole strength, the total entropy S and momentum component S_k increase, wile S_r decreases. This is completely opposite with scalar dipolar BECs. In particular, the order parameter δ decay quickly with stronger dipolar interaction, showing that the increase of dipole strength makes the system become more and more disordered.

     

红外光谱的陆生动物油脂中反刍动物成分鉴别分析

为有效应对违法掺加导致的饲料安全隐患,完善饲用油脂的高效检测手段,满足饲料质量安全的监管需求,以来源可靠的不同种属动物油脂为研究对象,通过在非反刍动物油脂中掺加不同比例（1%,5%,10%,20%,30%和40% W/W）的反刍动物油脂获得试验样品,首次系统应用傅里叶变换红外光谱结合化学计量学方法探讨了陆生动物油脂中掺加反刍成分的鉴别分析方法与模型。研究表明基于掺加比例1%～40%样品集,偏最小二乘判别分析模型正确判别率为100%,无假阳性和假阴性样品;进一步研究发现,基于陆生动物油脂中反刍成分低掺加比例0.1%～40%,0.2%～40%,0.4%～40%,0.6%～40%和0.8%～40%样品集,偏最小二乘判别分析模型的正确判别率均低于100%。且随着最低掺加比例的降低,假阳性与假阴性样品数明显增多,其正确判别率逐步降低。因此,陆生动物油脂中掺加反刍成分判别分析检量限约为1%;进一步通过脂肪酸组成与差异性分析、红外光谱特征波段和特征化学键对比分析探讨其判别分析机理。非反刍动物油脂光谱3 006 cm-1处吸收峰（代表=C-H(cis-)的拉伸振动）和914 cm-1处吸收峰（代表=HC=CH-(cis-)的弯曲振动）明显高于反刍动物油脂样品,主要表征了顺式脂肪酸和不饱和脂肪酸的显著差异。非反刍动物油脂光谱965 cm-1处吸收峰（代表-HC=CH-(trans-)的弯曲振动）明显低于反刍动物油脂样品,主要表征了反式脂肪酸和饱和脂肪酸的显著差异。掺加比例为1%的混合样品中反式C=C键含量显著高于其他低掺加比例的样品,而不同掺加比例样品的顺式C=C键含量和C-H(-CH₂-)键含量均无显著性差异。因此,基于红外光谱的陆生动物油脂中反刍动物成分鉴别分析主要是基于反式C=C键结构的信息表征。综上所述,红外光谱可作为一种兼顾检测效率与检测精度的技术应用于陆生动物油脂中反刍成分的鉴别分析。     

The delay time of gravitational wave – gamma-ray burst associations

The first gravitational wave (GW) – gamma-ray burst (GRB) association, GW170817/GRB 170817A, had an offset in time, with the GRB trigger time delayed by ~1.7 s with respect to the merger time of the GW signal. We generally discuss the astrophysical origin of the delay time, Δt, of GW-GRB associations within the context of compact binary coalescence (CBC) – short GRB (sGRB) associations and GW burst – long GRB (lGRB) associations. In general, the delay time should include three terms, the time to launch a clean (relativistic) jet, Δt_jet; the time for the jet to break out from the surrounding medium, Δt_bo; and the time for the jet to reach the energy dissipation and GRB emission site, Δt_GRB. For CBC-sGRB associations, Δtjet and Δt_bo are correlated, and the final delay can be from 10 ms to a few seconds. For GWB-lGRB associations, Δt_jet and Δt_bo are independent. The latter is at least ~10 s, so that Δt of these associations is at least this long. For certain jet launching mechanisms of lGRBs, Δt can be minutes or even hours long due to the extended engine waiting time to launch a jet. We discuss the cases of GW170817/GRB 170817A and GW150914/GW150914-GBM within this theoretical framework and suggest that the delay times of future GW/GRB associations will shed light into the jet launching mechanisms of GRBs.     

衬底对N@C60分子电子自旋共振谱的影响

N@C₆₀内嵌富勒烯是一种在量子科技领域有较高应用前景的分子。科学家们设计了一系列以内嵌富勒烯分子为基本量子单元的量子计算机模型,而构筑这样的模型具有极高的挑战。其中,由于内嵌富勒烯分子阵列的制备通常需要合适的衬底,而衬底与分子之间的相互作用会影响甚至破坏内嵌N原子的自旋信号。因此研究和理解衬底与内嵌富勒烯分子的相互作用具有重要的意义。本文制备了高质量的N@C₆₀分子,并采用扫描隧道显微镜对其在Au(111)表面的结构及电子态进行表征。通过对比N@C₆₀分子在Au(111)、Si(111)、SiO₂表面的电子自旋共振(ESR)信号随时间及其抽真空处理的变化,表明Au原子的核自旋与内嵌N原子的电子自旋的耦合作用是Au(111)表面N@C₆₀单分子层的ESR谱中内嵌N原子的信号衰减的主要原因。     

First-principles Study of Mechanical and Electronic Properties of Co-Sn Intermetallics for Lithium Ion Battery Anode

The equilibrium structures, formation energy, mechanical properties and electronic properties of Co-Sn intermetallics have been systemically studied by first-principles study. The results show that the CoSn phase is more thermodynamically stable than any other stoichiometry of Co-Sn intermetallics. With the increasing of Co content in Co-Sn intermetallics, the mechanical properties change into brittle behavior from ductility character. Adding proper amount of Co to Co-Sn intermetallics can improve the cycle performance for lithium ion battery anode. However, high Co content will lead to a poor cycle performance for Co-Sn intermetallics.     

Mechanics of water pore formation in lipid membrane under electric field

Transmembrane water pores are crucial for sub-stance transport through cell membranes via membrane fusion, such as in neural communication. However, the molecular mechanism of water pore formation is not clear. In this study, we apply all-atom molecular dynamics and bias-exchange metadynamics simulations to study the pro-cess of water pore formation under an electric field. We show that water molecules can enter a membrane under an electric field and form a water pore of a few nanometers in diame-ter. These water molecules disturb the interactions between lipid head groups and the ordered arrangement of lipids. Fol-lowing the movement of water molecules, the lipid head groups are rotated and driven into the hydrophobic region of the membrane. The reorientated lipid head groups inside the membrane form a hydrophilic surface of the water pore. This study reveals the atomic details of how an electric field influences the movement of water molecules and lipid head groups, resulting in water pore formation.     

固态纳米孔对蛋白质易位的实验研究

蛋白质因其多样性和功能性,是生物体内一类非常重要的分子.通常蛋白质的表征需要借助荧光或者酶的标记.而纳米孔技术,得益于免标记、单分子检测等优势,为蛋白质的表征提供了新方向.我们使用固态纳米孔完成了单个蛋白质分子及蛋白质-蛋白质结合物的检测.可以发现,外部电压和电解质溶液的酸碱度会直接影响蛋白质分子表面带电量,从而加快或延迟其在孔内的易位时间.抗原、抗体本质上都是蛋白质,两者之间具有高度特异性.通过比较抗体溶液在添加特异性抗原前后的易位事件,实现了单个蛋白质分子和蛋白质-蛋白质结合物的区分.未来,纳米孔技术有望应用于多蛋白质分子的辨识、蛋白质分子相互作用机制等方面的研究.
