Unified symmetry of nonholonomic mechanical systems with variable mass

Based on the total time derivative along the trajectory of the system the definition and the criterion for a unified symmetry of nonholonomic mechanical system with variable mass are presented in this paper. A new conserved quantity, as well as the Noether conserved quantity and the Hojman conserved quantity, deduced from the unified symmetry, are also obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Observation of a new DsJ meson in B+-->D0D0K+ decays

We report the observation of a new DsJ meson produced in B+-->D0DsJ-->D0D0K+. This state has a mass of M=2708+/-9(-10)(+11) MeV/c2, a width Gamma=108+/-23(-31)(+36) MeV/c2 and a 1- spin-parity. The statistical significance of this observation is 8.4 sigma. The results are based on an analysis of 449 x 10(6) BB events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.

Quantum Routing on Single Photons with Π-Shaped Channels

We propose a single-photon router that is made of three coupled-resonator forming a Π-type waveguide. The two atoms embedded in the two junctions, which have the distance of 2d, are used as quantum switch to control single photons routing. We find that the scattered rate depend on the incident single photons come from either infinite CRWs or semi-infinite CRWs, and the boundary can enhance the transfer rate.

     

Quantum Dots Microstructural Metrology: From Time-Resolved Spectroscopy to Spatially Resolved Electron Microscopy

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have unique optical and electrical properties with promising applications in next-generation semiconductor technologies, including displays, lighting, solar cells, photodetectors, and image sensors. Advanced analytical tools to probe the optical, morphological, structural, compositional, and electrical properties of QDs and their ensemble solid films are of paramount importance for the understanding of their device performance. In this review, comprehensive studies on the state-of-the-art metrology approaches used in QD research are introduced, with particular focus on time-resolved (TR) and spatially resolved (SR) spectroscopy and microscopy. Through discussing these analysis techniques in different QD system, such as various compositions, sizes, and shell structures, the critical roles of these TR-spectroscopic and SR-microscopic techniques are highlighted, which provide the structural, morphological, compositional, optical, and electrical information to precisely design QDs and QD solid films. The employment of TR and SR analysis in integrated QD device systems is also discussed, which can offer detailed microstructural information for achieving high performance in specific applications. In the end, the current limitations of these analytical tools are discussed, and the future development of the possibility of interdisciplinary research in both QD fundamental and applied fields is prospected.     

New Supercage Metal–Organic Framework Based on Allopurinol Ligands Showing Acetylene Storage and Separation

To develop efficient adsorbent materials for storage and separation of C₂H₂, an unprecedented supercage MOF, [Me₂NH₂]⋅[Zn₃(ALP)(TDC)_2.5]⋅3.5DMF⋅2 H₂O ( 1 ) was constructed through medicinal molecule allopurinol (ALP) and S-containing 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (H₂TDC). 1 contains a novel linear trinuclear cluster that is composed by ALP and carboxylates and forms a final uncommon 5-connected yfy topological framework. The framework possesses three types of interlinked cages decorated by rich functional sites, and reveals not only high adsorption capacity for C₂H₂ but also excellent selective separation for C₂H₂/CO₂ and C₂H₂/CH₄ at 298 K. Dynamic breakthrough experiments on C₂H₂/CO₂ (1:1) mixture and C₂H₂/CH₄ (1:1) mixture also demonstrated the potential of the material to separate C₂H₂ from CO₂ or CH₄ mixtures. Molecular simulations were also studied to identify the different CO₂- and C₂H₂- binding sites in 1 , such as carboxylate groups, S atoms and carbonyl groups.
