The ternary imide Li(2)Ca(NH)2 was successfully synthesized by dehydrogenating a mixture of LiNH(2) and CaH(2) at a molar ratio of 2:1 in a stream of purified argon at 300 degrees C. A powder X-ray diffraction measurement revealed that Li(2)Ca(NH)2 was of the trigonal anti-La(2)O(3) structure (space group Pm1) with lattice constants of a = 3.5664(3)A and c = 5.9540(8) A. Ca occupied the 1b site (0, 0, 1/2), Li occupied the 2d site (1/3, 2/3, 0.8841(22)), and N occupied the 2d site (1/3, 2/3, 0.2565(15)). Nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray absorption fine structure analyses demonstrated that each Li ion was coordinated with four imide ions and each Ca ion was coordinated with six imide ions. 相似文献
We report the fabrication of one-dimensional (1D) Bi nanowires grown on Ag(1 1 1) with average lateral width from 9 to 20 nm by physical vapor deposition in ultra high vacuum conditions. In situ low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy analyses reveal that the preferred growth of 1D Bi nanostructures is driven by the highly anisotropic bonding in the crystallographic structure of the Bi(1 1 0) plane. The Bi nanowires grow along direction and align with the directions on Ag(1 1 1). The growth of the Bi nanowires proceeds in a bilayer growth mode resulting from the layer pairing in Bi(1 1 0) which saturates the dangling bonds and lowers the total energy. 相似文献
Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements
are used to study the epitaxial growth and molecular orientation of organic thin films of copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine
(F16CuPc) on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Our results show that F16CuPc molecules lie flat on HOPG up to 5 nm thickness, stabilized by interfacial and interlayer π–π interactions. LT-STM experiments reveal the coexistence of two different in-plane orientations of the F16CuPc monolayer on HOPG. On the second layer of F16CuPc on HOPG, however, all F16CuPc molecules possess the same in-plane orientation. 相似文献
Surface transfer doping relies on charge separation at interfaces, and represents a valuable tool for the controlled and nondestructive doping of nanostructured materials or organic semiconductors at the nanometer-scale. It cannot be easily achieved by the conventional implantation process with energetic ions. Surface transfer doping can effectively dope semiconductors and nanostructures at relatively low cost, thereby facilitating the development of organic and nanoelectronics. The aim of this review is to highlight recent advances of surface transfer doping of semiconductors. Special focus is given to the effective doping of diamond, epitaxial graphene thermally grown on SiC, and organic semiconductors. The doping mechanism of various semiconductors and their possible applications in nanoelectronic devices will be discussed, including the interfacial charge transfer and the energy level alignment mechanisms. 相似文献
Double trouble : A hybrid organic–inorganic (organometallic) inhibitor was designed to target glutathione transferases. The metal center is used to direct protein binding, while the organic moiety acts as the active‐site inhibitor (see picture). The mechanism of inhibition was studied using a range of biophysical and biochemical methods.
We investigate a system whose basic warranty coverage is minimal repair up to a specified warranty length. An additional service is offered whereby first failure is restored up to the consumers’ chosen level of repair. The problem is studied under two system replacement strategies: periodic maintenance before and after warranty. It turns out that our model generalizes the model of Rinsaka and Sandoh [K. Rinsaka, H. Sandoh, A stochastic model with an additional warranty contract, Computers and Mathematics with Applications 51 (2006) 179–188] and the model of Yeh et al. [R.H. Yeh, M.Y. Chen, C.Y. Lin, Optimal periodic replacement policy for repairable products under free-repair warranty, European Journal of Operational Research 176 (2007) 1678–1686]. We derive the optimal maintenance period and optimal level of repair based on the structures of the cost function and failure rate function. We show that under certain assumptions, the optimal repair level for additional service is an increasing function of the replacement time. We provide numerical studies to verify some of our results. 相似文献
We give a construction of a family of CAP representations of the exceptional group G2, whose existence is predicted by Arthur’s conjecture. These are constructed by lifting certain cuspidal representations of
PGSp6. To show that the lifting is non-zero, we establish a Rankin-Selberg integral for the degree 8 Spin L-function of these cuspidal representations of PGSp6. 相似文献
The role of the molecule-metal interface is a key issue in molecular electronics. Interface charge transfer processes for 4-fluorobenzenethiol monolayers with different molecular orientations on Au(111) were studied by resonant photoemission spectroscopy. The electrons excited into the LUMO or LUMO+1 are strongly localized for the molecules standing up on Au(111). In contrast, an ultrafast charge transfer process was observed for the molecules lying down on Au(111). This configuration-dependent ultrafast electron transfer is dominated by an adiabatic mechanism and directly reflects the delocalization of the molecular orbitals for molecules lying down on Au(111). Theoretical calculations confirm that the molecular orbitals indeed experience a localization-delocalization transition resulting from hybridization between the molecular orbitals and metal surface. Such an orientation-dependent transition could be harnessed in molecular devices that switch via charge transfer when the molecular orientation is made to change. 相似文献
