Silver nanowires for photonics applications

Although silver nanowires as plasmonic components have been investigated extensively in both theoretical and experimental studies, a systematic study is still lacking. In this work, a review is given to explain some basic features of experimentally prepared nanowires and their optical properties in different situations, such as waveguides, resonators, and antennas. The review also lists several possible applications of nanowires for enhanced light‐emitting, photonic device fabrication, sensors, lasers, and nonlinear optics. Combined with the merits of both nanowires and surface plasmon polaritons, silver nanowires are certain to show their potential in photonics in the near future.     

�����Thomas-Fermi�����������о�

Thomas-Fermi model can be applied to describe state of electrons for mixtures. A method to solve the mixture Thomas-Fermi equation is proposed. With the proper initial test solution and step length, this method searches the solution in a way that reduces the steps by half, which can get solutions with various densities and temperatures fast.

Ratio of a strange quark mass ms to up or down quark mass mu,d predicted by a quark propagator in the framework of the chiral perturbation theory

Based on the fully dressed quark propagator and chiral perturbation theory, we study the ratio of the strange quark mass ms to up or down quark mass mu,d . The ratio is related to the determination of quark masses which are fundamental input parameters of QCD Lagrangian in the Standard Model of particle physics and can not be directly measured since the quark is confined within a hadron. An accurate determination of these QCD free parameters is extremely important for both phenomenological and theoretical applications. We begin with a brief introduction to the non-perturbation QCD theory, and then study the mass ratio in the framework of the chiral perturbation theory (χPT) with a parameterized fully dressed quark propagator which describes confining fully dressed quark propagation and is analytic everywhere in the finite complex p2-plane and has no Lehmann representation so there are no quark production thresholds in any theoretical calculations of observable data. Our prediction for the ratio ms/mu,d is consistent with other model predictions such as Lattice QCD, instanton model, QCD sum rules and the empirical values used widely in the literature. As a by-product of this study, our theoretical results, together with other predictions of physical quantities that used this quark propagator in our previous publications, clearly show that the parameterized form of the fully dressed quark propagator is an applicable and reliable approximation to the solution of the Dyson-Schwinger Equation of quark propagator in the QCD.

微构件材料力学性能测试方法

随着MEMS的商业化进程,微构件材料力学性能的研究成为越来越重要的一个课题。微小试件的制备、安装、夹持、微驱动、高分辨率的载荷和位移测量等技术问题都是对微构件材料力学性能测试的很大挑战,很多传统的测试方法和装置已经不再适用了。近十几年,国内外学者发展了一些微构件材料力学性能的研究方法,来测量微构件的弹性模量、屈服强度、断裂强度、残余应力和疲劳强度等。本文从实验系统的集成度出发,将这些测试方法大致分为片外测试和片上测试两类。本文对单轴拉伸法、纳米压痕法、鼓膜法、微梁弯曲法和衬底曲率法等典型的片外测试方法和一些典型的片上测试方法进行了介绍,并比较了各自的优缺点。     

Differential Photosynthetic Response of a Green Tide Alga Ulva linza to Ultraviolet Radiation,Under Short‐ and Long‐term Ocean Acidification Regimes

Both ocean acidification (OA) and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation can bring about changes in macroalgal physiological performance. However, macroalgal responses to UV radiation when acclimatized to OA under different time scales are rare. Here, we investigate the response of Ulva linza, a green tide alga, to UV radiation in the form of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) or PAB (PAR+UVA+UVB) radiation. Radiation exposures were assessed following long‐term (from spore to adult stage, 1 month) and short‐term (adult stage, 1 week) OA treatments. Results showed that increased CO₂ decreased the damage rate (k) and repair rate (r) of thalli grown under short‐term OA conditions with PAB treatment, the ratio of r:k was not altered. Following long‐term OA conditions, r was not affected, although k was increased in thalli following PAB treatment, resulting in a reduced ratio of r:k. The relative level of UV inhibition increased and UV‐absorbing compounds decreased when algae were cultured under long‐term OA conditions. The recovery rate of thalli was enhanced when grown under long‐term OA after UV radiation treatment. These results show that blooming algae may be more sensitive to UV radiation in marine environments, but it can develop effective mechanisms to offset the negative effects, reflecting acclimation to long‐term OA conditions.     

Microwave-assisted,rapid synthesis of 2-vinylquinolines and evaluation of their antimalarial activity

A rapid and efficient synthesis of 2-vinylquinolines via trifluoromethanesulfonamide-mediated olefination of 2-methylquinoline and aldehyde under microwave irradiation is reported. Biological evaluation of these scaffolds demonstrates that 2-vinylquinolines 3x-3z possess excellent antimalarial activities against chloroquine-resistant Dd2 strain of Plasmodium falciparum (IC₅₀ < 100 nM).     

Syntheses,Structures, and Magnetic Properties of Two DMTCNQ and DETCNQ Gadolinium Complexes

Two DMTCNQ (DMTCNQ = 2,5‐dimethyl‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyano‐p‐quinodimethane) and DETCNQ (DETCNQ = 2,5‐diethyl‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyano‐p‐quinodimethane) gadolinium complexes [Gd(DMTCNQ)₂(CH₃OH)(H₂O)₆][DMTCNQ] · 4H₂O ( 1 ) and [Gd(DETCNQ)(H₂O)₇][2DETCNQ] ( 2 ) were synthesized by reactions of GdCl₃ · 6H₂O with Li(DMTCNQ) or Li(DETCNQ). X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that complexes 1 and 2 are discrete complexes. The central metal atom in 1 is coordinated by two DMTCNQ ligand radicals whereas that in 2 is coordinated by just one DETCNQ ligand radical. The adjacent molecules are connected by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form the two‐dimensional (2D) supramolecular layer structures, which are further packed into a three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture through the π–π interactions between ligand radicals in 1 and 2 . Magnetic investigation indicates that the antiferromagnetic interactions between spin carriers exists in 1 and 2 .
