脉冲激光烧蚀制备纳米Si晶粒成核区位置的确定

为了确定纳米Si晶粒气相成核的位置，采用XeCl准分子激光器，在10Pa氩气环境下，烧蚀高阻抗单晶Si靶，在距离等离子羽正下方2.0cm处、与其轴线平行放置一系列单晶Si或玻璃衬底，沉积制备了纳米Si薄膜. X射线衍射、Raman散射、扫描电子显微镜和原子力显微镜结果均显示，纳米Si晶粒只在距靶约0.5—2.8cm平行距离范围内的样品上形成，在此范围内，随着离靶平行距离的增大，所形成的纳米Si晶粒的平均尺寸逐渐减小，并且晶粒尺寸的分布也发生变化. 根据成核区起始和终止的突变特征，结合晶粒形成后的平抛运动规律，对晶粒气相成核的位置进行了估算. 关键词： 纳米Si晶粒 脉冲激光烧蚀 成核区

DNA折纸结构介导的多尺度纳米结构精准制造

原子及近原子尺度制造在近年来一直是物质科学领域被广泛探讨的前沿问题.当制造和加工的尺度从微米、纳米逐渐走向原子级别时,材料在常规尺度下所具备的性质已无法通过经典理论进行解释,相反地,会在这一尺度下展现出一系列新奇的特性.因而对材料极限制造尺度和颠覆性物性的不断追求始终是科学界共同关注的重点领域.作为一种在纳米尺度下对结构制造单元进行精细操控的先进手段,DNA纳米技术的开发和发展为纳米制造甚至原子制造提供了新的观点和思路,而DNA折纸术作为DNA纳米技术的重要组成部分,正在凭借其在结构制造过程当中的高度可编程性成为纳米尺度下进行各类物质精准制造的独特的解决方案,并可能为不同物质不同材料更小尺度和任意形状的精准构筑带来机遇.本文首先简单概述了DNA折纸术的基本原理和发展历程,然后根据制造策略的不同对DNA折纸结构的纳米制造的相关代表性工作做了总结,并在文末提出了对于DNA折纸结构在原子制造中的可行性的思考和未来发展方向的展望.

Crystallization of micelles and matrix in dilute diblock copolymer/homopolymer solutions

The crystallization, morphology, and crystalline structure of dilute solid solutions of tetrahydrofuran–methyl methacrylate diblock copolymer (PTHF-b-PMMA) in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and PTHF have been studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray, and optical microscopy. This study provides a new insight into the crystallization behavior of block copolymers. For the dilute PTHF-b-PMMA/PEO system containing only 2 to 7 wt % of PTHF content, crystallization of the PTHF micellar core was detected both on cooling and on heating. Compared the crystallization of the PTHF in the dilute solutions with that in the pure copolymer, it was found that the crystallizability of the PTHF micellar core in the solution is much greater than that of the dispersed PTHF microdomain in the pure copolymer. The stronger crystallizability in the solution was presumably due to a softened PMMA corona formed in the solution of the copolymer with PEO. However, the “soft” micelles formed in the solution (meaning that the glass transition temperatures (T_g) of the micelle is lower than the T_m of the matrix phase) showed almost no effects on the spherulitic morphology of the PEO component, compared with that of the pure PEO sample. In contrast, significant effects of the micelles with a “hard” PMMA core (meaning that the T_g of the core is higher than the T_m of the PTHF homopolymer) on the nucleation, crystalline structure, and spherulitic morphology were observed for the dilute PTHF-b-PMMA/PTHF system. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Structural Optimization and Improving Antitumor Potential of Moreollic Acid from Gamboge

Moreollic acid, a caged-tetraprenylated xanthone from Gamboge, has been indicated as a potent antitumor molecule. In the present study, a series of moreollic acid derivatives with novel structures were designed and synthesized, and their antitumor activities were determined in multifarious cell lines. The preliminary screening results showed that all synthesized compounds selectively inhibited human colon cancer cell proliferation. TH12-10, with an IC₅₀ of 0.83, 1.10, and 0.79 μM against HCT116, DLD1, and SW620, respectively, was selected for further antitumor mechanism studies. Results revealed that TH12-10 effectively inhibited cell proliferation by blocking cell-cycle progression from G1 to S. Besides, the apparent structure–activity relationships of target compounds were discussed. To summarize, a series of moreollic acid derivatives were discovered to possess satisfactory antitumor potentials. Among them, TH12-10 displays the highest antitumor activities against human colon cancer cells, in which the IC₅₀ values in DLD1 and SW620 are lower than that of 5-fluorouracil.

A Smoothing Newton Method for General Nonlinear Complementarity Problems

Smoothing Newton methods for nonlinear complementarity problems NCP(F) often require F to be at least a P ₀-function in order to guarantee that the underlying Newton equation is solvable. Based on a special equation reformulation of NCP(F), we propose a new smoothing Newton method for general nonlinear complementarity problems. The introduction of Kanzow and Pieper's gradient step makes our algorithm to be globally convergent. Under certain conditions, our method achieves fast local convergence rate. Extensive numerical results are also reported for all complementarity problems in MCPLIB and GAMSLIB libraries with all available starting points.     

Superlinear Convergence of a General Algorithm for the Generalized Foley–Sammon Discriminant Analysis

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is one of the most efficient statistical approaches for feature extraction and dimension reduction. The generalized Foley–Sammon transform and the trace ratio model are very important in LDA and have received increasing interest. An efficient iterative method has been proposed for the resulting trace ratio optimization problem, which, under a mild assumption, is proved to enjoy both the local quadratic convergence and the global convergence to the global optimal solution (Zhang, L.-H., Liao, L.-Z., Ng, M.K.: SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 31:1584, 2010). The present paper further investigates the convergence behavior of this iterative method under no assumption. In particular, we prove that the iteration converges superlinearly when the mild assumption is removed. All possible limit points are characterized as a special subset of the global optimal solutions. An illustrative numerical example is also presented.
