(2+1)-Dimensional Fermion Determinant in a Constant Background Field at Finite Temperature and Density

We evaluate exactly both the nonrelativistic and relativistic fermion determinant in 2+1 dimensions in a constant background field at finite temperature. The effect of finite chemical potential is also considered. In both cases, the systems are decoupled into an infinite number of 1+1 fermions by Fourier transformation in the -variable. The total effective actions demonstrate nonextensiveness in the -dimension.     

Towards Fabrication of Atomic Dopant Wires via Monolayer Doping Patterned by Resist-Free Lithography

Fabrication of atomic dopant wires at large scale is challenging.We explored the feasibility to fabricate atomic dopant wires by nano-patterning self-assembled dopant carrying molecular monolayers via a resist-free lithographic approach.The resist-free lithography is to use electron beam exposure to decompose hydrocarbon contaminants in vacuum chamber into amorphous carbon that serves as an etching mask for nanopatterning the phosphorus-bearing monolayers.Dopant wires were fabricated in silicon by patterning diethyl vinylphosphonate monolayers into lines with a width ranging from 1 μm down to 8 nm.The dopants were subsequently driven into silicon to form dopant wires by rapid thermal annealing.Electrical measurements show a linear correlation between wire width and conductance,indicating the success of the monolayer patterning process at nanoscale.The dopant wires can be potentially scaled down to atomic scale if the dopant thermal diffusion can be mitigated.     

Laser-induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy of NiS: Identification of a Low-lying Electronic State

Laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectra of jet-cooled NiS molecules were recorded in the energy range of 12200-13550 cm^-1. Four vibronic bands with rotational structure have been observed and assigned to the [12.4]³∑₀^- -X³∑₀^- transition progression. The relevant rotational constants, significant isotopic shifts, and (equilibrium) molecular parameters have been determined. In addition, the lifetimes of the observed bands have also been measured.

Activation of Hydrogen Peroxide by Ionic Liquids: Mechanistic Studies and Application in the Epoxidation of Olefins

Imidazolium‐based ionic liquids that contain perrhenate anions are very efficient reaction media for the epoxidation of olefins with H₂O₂ as an oxidant, thus affording cyclooctene in almost quantitative yields. The mechanism of this reaction does not follow the usual pathway through peroxo complexes, as is the case with long‐known molecular transition‐metal catalysts. By using in situ Raman, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we have shown that the formation of hydrogen bonds between the oxidant and perrhenate activates the oxidant, thereby leading to the transfer of an oxygen atom onto the olefin demonstrating the special features of an ionic liquid as a reaction environment. The influence of the imidazolium cation and the oxidant (aqueous H₂O₂, urea hydrogen peroxide, and tert‐butyl hydrogen peroxide) on the efficiency of the epoxidation of cis‐cyclooctene were examined. Other olefinic substrates were also used in this study and they exhibited good yields of the corresponding epoxides. This report shows the potential of using simple complexes or salts for the activation of hydrogen peroxide, owing to the interactions between the solvent medium and the active complex.     

贫燃条件 In-Ag/TiO2-γ-Al2O3催化 CO选择性还原NO

汽车尾气中主要污染成分 CO和 NOx可导致酸雨、光化学烟雾和臭氧空洞效应,对生物、环境及生态系统造成重大危害。污染源中 CO是性能优良的还原剂,如能不添加还原剂实现 CO催化还原 NOx,将成为最具经济技术优势的 NOx脱除技术。在富氧、低温条件下,利用 CO选择性催化还原 NOx为 N2,是目前选择性催化还原研究中的热点和难点。催化 CO还原 NOx常用的贵金属 Ir, Rh, Pt和Pd矿藏稀少,价格昂贵,有氧条件下活性急降,而分子筛催化剂和一些金属氧化物催化剂普遍存在反应温度高,尤其对 N2选择性差等问题。为解决上述问题,需寻找新的适合我国矿产资源的催化体系。研究发现,稀散金属基催化剂对氮氧化物的净化具有一定效果,因而可将我国的稀散金属资源优势转化为技术优势和经济优势。因此,本文以 TiO2-γ-Al2O3(TA)为载体, In/Ag为活性组分,采用等体积浸渍法制备了 InAg/TA以及 In/TA, Ag/TA和InAg/Al (γ-Al2O3为载体)催化剂,考察了贫燃条件下 CO选择性还原NO的催化活性。研究表明,双金属催化剂InAg/Al和 InAg/TA的活性比单金属催化剂In/TA和 Ag/TA高, In/TA催化剂中引入 Ag物种能降低起燃温度;另外,相比于InAg/Al催化剂, InAg/TA催化剂具有较高的催化活性,550?600°C时 N2产率超过60%,说明载体中引入TiO2可以提高催化剂活性。为了深入研究 InAg/TA催化剂中 Ag物种和TiO2对 In物种的作用,通过比表面测定、X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱、紫外-可见光吸收光谱、氢气程序升温还原、傅立叶变换红外线光谱等方法分析了催化剂结构和表面形态。结果表明, Ag物种可以提高 In物种的分散性, In和 Ag物种在 TA载体表面可以很好地分散,从而有利于提高催化活性。 In和 Ag物种在 TA载体表面以氧化态形式存在,并且 Ag物种可以提高 In物种表面含量,表面 In和 Ag物种含量越高,吸附活性位越多,催化活性越高;同时, TiO2也可以促进 NO吸附,从而提高 InAg/TA催化剂活性。 InAg/TA催化剂在450°C连续反应72 h进行稳定性测试,测试前后分别在50?600°C进行活性测试,并用 XRD和 TEM对反应后的催化剂进行表征测试。结果表明, InAg/TA催化剂具有较好的稳定性,连续反应前后催化剂活性基本保持不变,推测可能由于在有 CO和O2存在的体系中, Ag物种利用自身 Ag+与 Ag0之间的氧化还原反应抑制了活性组分 In2O3的还原和聚集,稳定了 In物种乃至催化剂活性。 InAg/TA催化剂用于贫燃条件下CO还原NO具有较好的催化效果,主要归因于催化剂活性组分分散性好,稳定性高,对NO吸附能力强。 Ag物种可以稳定In物种并提高其分散性, TiO2可以改善In物种和Ag物种的分散性并促进NO吸附。     

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of phillyrin from Forsythia suspensa

Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl is one of the most widely used traditional Chinese medicines, and possesses important biological activities, such as antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Phillyrin is the main bioactive component of Forsythia suspensa. In this paper, ultrasound-assisted extraction of phillyrin from Forsythia suspensa was studied with HPLC-photodiode array detection. Effects of several experimental parameters, such as type and concentration of extracting solvent, ratio of liquid to material, extraction temperature, and time of sonication on extraction efficiencies of phillyrin from Forsythia suspensa were evaluated. The optimal extraction conditions were 1g plant sample with 10 ml of 20% methanol and the extraction for 60 min at 60°C under ultrasonic irradiation. Under the optimum conditions, the yield of phillyrin was 0.713±0.009 mg/g. The results indicated that the ultrasound-assisted extraction is a very useful method for the extraction of important phytochemicals from plant materials.

Organic dye bearing asymmetric double donor-π-acceptor chains for dye-sensitized solar cells

A novel efficient metal free sensitizer containing asymmetric double donor-π-acceptor chains (DC) was synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Comparing to 3.80%, 4.40% and 4.64% for the DSSCs based on the dyes with single chain (SC1, SC2) and cosensitizers (SC1 + SC2), the overall conversion efficiency reaches 6.06% for DC-sensitized solar cells as a result of its longer electron lifetime and higher incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency.
