Electronic transitions of fluorene, dibenzofuran, carbazole, and dibenzothiophene: From the onset of absorption to the ionization threshold

A comparative study of the electronic transitions of fluorene and its hetero-analogues dibenzofuran, carbazole, and dibenzothiophene was performed in a wide energy range. Gas phase, crystal phase, and linear dichroism electronic transmittance spectra were measured with synchrotron radiation. Electronic transitions to excited singlet states were predicted with time-dependent density functional theory, TD-B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). Based on the experimental and theoretical results, symmetry assignments of electronic transitions in the vacuum and near-UV region are suggested. The correspondence between excited states in these molecules, similarities, and differences between their electronic spectra are discussed.

Tuning the wettability of calcite cubes by varying the sizes of the polystyrene nanoparticles attached to their surfaces

The wettability of calcite cubes was tuned by varying the sizes of the polystyrene nanoparticles attached to their surfaces via a dispersion polymerization. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion spectrum (EDS) and Fourier transformation infrared spectrum (FTIR). The results showed that the hydrophobicity of the calcite cubes was enhanced with the increase of the size of the polystyrene nanoparticles attached. Using polystyrene nanoparticle-attached calcite cubes (PNACC) as emulsifiers, stable water-in-tricaprylin Pickering emulsions were produced. By gelling the water droplets of the Pickering emulsions, the hierarchical structures of polystyrene nanoparticle-attached calcite cube-armored microspheres were obtained. The polystyrene nanoparticle-attached calcite cubes were expected to have novel surface properties similar neither to traditional Pickering particles, nor to macroscopically asymmetrical Janus particles.     

Negative refraction of complex lattices of dielectric cylinders

Some photonic crystals (PCs) consisting of complex lattices of dielectric cylinders can have an effective refraction index (neff$n_{\mathrm{eff}}$) of −1. Subwavelength imaging by a slab of a honeycomb PC of dielectric cylinders with neff=−1$n_{\mathrm{eff}}=-1$ is investigated and an open resonator with a quality factor higher than 3000 is designed with the same PC. Air–PC interfaces with low reflection are also used for the slab lens and open resonator.     

Interplay between out-of-plane magnetic plasmon and lattice resonance for modified resonance lineshape and near-field enhancement in double nanoparticles array

Two-dimensional double nanoparticle （DNP） arrays are demonstrated theoretically, supporting the interaction between out-of-plane magnetic plasmons and in-plane lattice resonances, which can be achieved by tuning the nanoparticle height or the array period due to the height-dependent magnetic resonance and the periodicity-dependent lattice resonance. The interplay between the two plasmon modes can lead to a remarkable change in resonance lineshape and an improvement on magnetic field enhancement. Simultaneous electric field and magnetic field enhancement can be obtained in the gap region between neighboring particles at two resonance frequencies as the interplay occurs, which presents “open” cavities as electromagnetic field hot spots for potential applications on detection and sensing. The results not only offer an attractive way to tune the optical responses of plasmonic nanostructure, but also provide further insight into the plasmon interactions in periodic nanostructure or metamaterials comprising multiple elements.

Random-phase approximation correlation methods for molecules and solids

Random-phase approximation (RPA) correlation methods based on Kohn–Sham density-functional theory and Hartree–Fock are derived using the adiabatic-connection fluctuation dissipation theorem. It is shown that the correlation energy within the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem is exact in a Kohn–Sham framework while for Hartree–Fock reference states this is not the case. This shows that Kohn–Sham reference states are probably better suited to describe electron correlation for use in RPA methods than Hartree–Fock reference states. Both, Kohn–Sham and Hartree–Fock RPA methods are related to each other both by comparing the underlying correlation functionals and numerically through the comparison of total energies and reaction energies for a set of small organic molecules.     

Effect of Opacity on the Solar Spectral Line of C I 165.7 nm by Escape Factor Treatment

In this article, we report that by using the intensity ratio of the (2-2) to (1-2) component of CI emission lines at about 165.7 nm, we determined the optical depth at the line center of the (2-2) component of CI emission lines by escape factor treatment. The optical depth at the line center of the (2-2) component is calculated to be 0.9998, which is a more reasonable value of solar spectral lines than the value that has been reported. The variation of the optical depth at the line center for different positions from the solar limb is discussed. Using the measured abundance of carbon and the results of ionization balance calculations, we estimate the electron density in the CI emitting region. The density of hydrogen is estimated in the CI emitting region by this method, and is testified to be a better value than the value that has been reported. This discussion will be significant in the analysis of opacity on the solar ultraviolet (UV) or extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum.     

DNS study of swirling intensity effect on flow pattern of a circular jet

Abstract  

The figures show the 3D flow pattern of a circular jet with different swirling intensity. Reynolds number is approximately 4300 computed based on the nozzle diameter (d), jet velocity (U), and air fluid property at 1 atm and 300 K. The overall computational domain is set to be 4 × 4 × 12 d in spanwise, height, and streamwise direction. The governing equations are the fully compressible Navier–Stokes equations, firstly differenced by eighth-order explicit scheme and then advanced temporarily by using the fourth-order explicit Runge–Kutta method. 3D characteristics non-reflecting boundary condition including transverse source contribution is imposed on all other boundaries except the inflow boundary handled by assigning fixed profiles of temperature and velocity. To ensure the simulation resolution, here over 16 million grids are employed in sum, combined with a handful of grids located at buffer zones of outflow boundaries. To correctly represent the vortex in the flow field, velocity gradient tensor invariant Q is used here. And ψ refers to the swirling intensity defined as the ratio of tangential momentum to axis momentum. As shown in velocity profile, the flow pattern of the jet changes from a close mode to a totally open mode as ψ increases from 0.4 to 1.5. Accordingly, the recirculation zone gradually moves upstream and backflow velocity is enlarged as well. It is inteseting to found that the obvious drops of the momentums in two shown directions always occur at the same position downstream, no matter how large the ψ value is. Therefore, a momentum compensatory mechanism is expected to exist in the vortex-abundant zone. With the increase of ψ value, the increased strain rate in tangential direction can induce vortex more quickly, intensifying the entrainment and velocity-attenuation, which can be observed in Q value profile.
