Synthesis of structurally diversified BINOLs and NOBINs via palladium-catalyzed C–H arylation with diazoquinones

Privileged biaryl frameworks, BINOL and NOBIN, were efficiently constructed with sole 1-DNQs as arylation reagents under one set of reaction conditions. The judicious selection of palladium-catalytic system plays a pivotal role in the excellent selectivities. This transformation accommodated fairly broad substrate generality for both 2-naphthol and N-Boc-2-naphthylamine and afforded the structurally diversified BINOLs and NOBIN derivatives in high efficiency. Notably, the bromosubstituents which cannot survive in conventional palladium-catalyzed reactions were well-compatible with this set of conditions, providing an effective handle for further enriching the library of BINOLs and NOBINs. Preliminary attempts on the asymmetric variant of this reaction were also performed with up to 80:20 er for BINOLs synthesis.     

Cationic Nonporous Macrocyclic Organic Compounds for Multimedia Iodine Capture

Over the past two decades, progress in chemistry has generated various types of porous materials for removing iodine (¹²⁹I or ¹³¹I) that can be formed during nuclear energy generation or nuclear waste storage. However, most studies for iodine capture are based on the weak host-guest interactions of the porous materials. Here, we present two cationic nonporous macrocyclic organic compounds, namely, MOC-1 and MOC-2 , in which 6I^- and 8I⁻ were as counter anions, for highly efficient iodine capture. MOC-1 and MOC-2 were formed by reacting 1,1′-diamino-4,4′-bipyridylium di-iodide with 1,2-diformylbenzene or 1,3-diformylbenzene, respectively. The presence of a large number of I⁻ anions results in high I₂ affinity with uptake capacities up to 2.15 g ⋅ g⁻¹ for MOC-1 and 2.25 g ⋅ g⁻¹ for MOC-2 .

Electrical control of antiferromagnetic metal up to 15 nm

Manipulation of antiferromagnetic (AFM) spins by electrical means is on great demand to develop the AFM spintronics with low power consumption. Here we report a reversible electrical control of antiferromagnetic moments of FeMn up to 15 nm, using an ionic liquid to exert a substantial electric-field effect. The manipulation is demonstrated by the modulation of exchange spring in [Co/Pt]/FeMn system, where AFM moments in FeMn pin the magnetization rotation of Co/Pt. By carrier injection or extraction, the magnetic anisotropy of the top layer in FeMn is modulated to influence the whole exchange spring and then passes its influence to the [Co/Pt]/FeMn interface, through a distance up to the length of exchange spring that fully screens electric field. Comparing FeMn to IrMn, despite the opposite dependence of exchange bias on gate voltages, the same correlation between carrier density and exchange spring stiffness is demonstrated. Besides the fundamental significance of modulating the spin structures in metallic AFM via all-electrical fashion, the present finding would advance the development of low-power-consumption AFM spintronics.     

基于偏振特性对石英玻璃和绿漆涂层的反演

物质的偏振特性与其复折射率、表面粗糙度以及观测几何条件有关,为了应用偏振探测技术实现对目标的定量反演,本文首先对两种典型目标(绿漆涂层和石英玻璃)的偏振特性进行了实验测定,并对偏振度与探测天顶角的关系进行了分析。利用实验数据并基于描述目标偏振特性的PG模型首次在考虑了粗糙度的影响下,对目标的折射率、消光系数进行了定量反演,最后将反演结果与参考结果进行比较。结果表明,石英玻璃的折射率相对误差为4.944 9%,绿漆涂层的折射率与消光系数的相对误差分别为11%和21.558 9%。该方法在考虑表面粗糙度的条件下能够更精确地测定物质的复折射率,同时也为偏振技术应用于目标定量反演提供了依据。     

Lasing with resonant feedback in weakly scattering random systems

Laser action in active random media in the weak scattering regime far from Anderson localization is investigated by coupling Maxwell's equations with the rate equations of a four-level atomic system. We report systematic lasing action with resonant feedback and show that the lasing modes mostly consist of traveling waves spatially extended over the whole system. Next we address the question of the origin of the feedback mechanism in such a system where no disorder-induced long-lived resonances are available, and present strong evidence that they correspond to the quasimodes of the passive system. This in turn provides an original way to access the spatial distribution of the quasimodes of a non-Hermitian system.     

Turbulence control with local pacing and its implication in cardiac defibrillation

In this review article, we describe turbulence control in excitable systems by using a local periodic pacing method. The controllability conditions of turbulence suppression and the mechanisms underlying these conditions are analyzed. The local pacing method is applied to control Winfree turbulence (WT) and defect turbulence (DT) induced by spiral-wave breakup. It is shown that WT can always be suppressed by local pacing if the pacing amplitude and frequency are properly chosen. On the other hand, the pacing method can achieve suppression of DT induced by instabilities associated with the motions of spiral tips while failing to suppress DT induced by the instabilities of wave propagation far from tips. In the latter case, an auxiliary method of applying gradient field is suggested to improve the control effects. The implication of this local pacing method to realistic cardiac defibrillation is addressed.
