O-vacancy and surface on CeO2: A first-principles study

Atomic and electronic structures of CeO₂ (1 1 1), (1 1 0) and (1 0 0) surfaces are investigated using the first-principles density functional theory taking into account the on-site Coulomb interaction. Both the stoichiometric and O-deficient surfaces are examined in order to clarify the overall features. The CeO₂ (1 1 1) is found to be the most stable surface, followed by the (1 1 0) and (1 0 0) surfaces, consistent with experimental observations. Three surfaces exhibit different features of relaxation. Large relaxations are found at the (1 1 0) and (1 0 0) surfaces, while very small changes are observed at the (1 1 1) surface. It is found that the O-vacancy occurs more readily at the (1 1 0) surface as compared with the (1 1 1) surface. Furthermore, the formation energies of the O-vacancy in the surfaces are lower than that in the bulk. The energetically favorable O-vacancy locates in the second O-atomic layer for the (1 1 1) while at the surface layer for the (1 1 0). The excess electrons left with the removal of the O atom are distributed in the first two layers with certain (a considerable) fraction filling the Ce-4f states.     

Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ring-Enhancing Cerebral Lesions

The objective of this study is to determine differential diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in high-grade brain astrocytomas, brain solitary metastases and brain abscesses. 53 patients with cerebral solitary lesions which showed ring enhancement on contrast-enhanced T ₁-weighted images were enrolled in this study. Brain tissues were examined pathologically from 49 patients to confirm the cerebral occupational diseases. Four patients have been diagnosed with primary cancer plus brain solitary metastasis. DTI measurements were obtained from regions of interest placed on central cavity, white matter of the immediate peritumoral region (IPR) and cerebral white matter of the normal side. The cavity of high-grade astrocytoma and brain metastases displayed hypointense signals; most of the brain abscess cavities displayed high signal intensity except for one case with uneven signal intensity. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values could be used for differentiation between tumor and abscess in brain. The brain abscess cavities showed restricted diffusion and anisotropy [MD = (0.604 ± 0.13) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, FA = 0.185 ± 0.03], whereas the central portion of high-grade astrocytoma [MD = (2.76 ± 0.26) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, FA = 0.069 ± 0.02] and solitary brain metastases [MD = (2.82 ± 0.29) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, FA = 0.064 ± 0.02] showed unrestricted diffusion and isotropy. Brain abscess could be differentiated by MD and FA values in their cavities from brain tumors (P < 0.01). The IPRs were all depicted as hyperintense or isointense signals on diffusion-weighted imaging. The difference between FA values in the IPR of high-grade brain astrocytomas and other groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In conclusion, our results suggested the potential role of the cavity MD and FA values in the differential diagnoses of brain tumors and brain abscesses; meanwhile, high-grade astrocytomas could be distinguished from solitary metastases and abscesses by evaluating their corresponding FA values in the IPR on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Combined with conventional MRI, DTI may help radiologists to facilitate the differential diagnosis of ring-enhancing cerebral lesions in clinical practice.     

VisAct: a visualization design system based on semantic actions

Current visualization design toolkits help users to explore data and create visualizations. However, most of these systems do not record the executed actions during the visualization construction process with semantic context. In this paper, we present VisAct, a visualization design system based on semantic actions, that helps average users to construct visualizations step by step. Our system contributes a set of action-based visualization components and a high-level grammar for semantic actions. VisAct also guides the visualization construction process and provides an action tracker for history management and data collection. We demonstrate the usability of VisAct by visualizations and a plugin application. Finally, we conduct a user study to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of our system.     

Integrable boundary conditions for the B_2 model

New integrable B_2 model with off-diagonal boundary reflections is proposed. The general solutions of the reflection matrix for the B_2 model are obtained by using the fusion technique. Wefind that the reflection matrix has 7 free boundary parameters, which are used to describe the degree of freedom of boundary couplings, without breaking the integrability of the system. The new quantization conditions will induce the novel structure of the energy spectrum and the boundary states. The corresponding boundary effects can be studied based on the results in this paper. Meanwhile, the reflection matrix of high rank models associated with Bnalgebra can also be obtained by using the method suggested in this paper.

Quantum MIMO Communication Scheme Based on Quantum Teleportation with Triplet States

A novel quantum MIMO communication scheme is proposed by generalizing the wireless communication technique to the quantum field. The MIMO quantum teleportation can be implemented with triplet states in order to enhance the capacity and fidelity of the quantum channel, in which an n-qubit sequence of quantum signals can be transmitted through the MIMO quantum channel by applying the diversity technique. The quantum noise filtering is involved before the quantum signals are outputted. The analysis and discussions demonstrate that the quantum MIMO teleportation can be performed securely with high capacity and fidelity.

Fabrication and magnetic properties of ordered Fe60Pb40 nanowire arrays electrodeposited in AAO templates

Ordered ferromagnetic-nonmagnetic heterogeneous Fe₆₀Pb₄₀ nanowire arrays were successfully fabricated by alternating current (AC) electrodeposition into nanoporous alumina templates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and selected-area diffraction (SAED) pattern analysis showed that the Fe₆₀Pb₄₀ nanowires are polycrystalline with an average diameter of 22 nm and lengths up to several micrometers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) observations indicated that α-Fe and fcc Pb phase coexist and do not form metastable alloy phase. The as-deposited samples were annealed at 200, 300, 400 and 500 ^°C, respectively. Magnetic measurements showed that nanowires have high magnetic anisotropy with their easy axis parallel to the nanowire arrays, and the coercivity of the samples increased with the annealing temperature up to 400 ^°C and reached a maximum (2650 Oe). The change of magnetic properties associated with the microstructure was discussed.
