Superfluid-insulator transition of strongly interacting fermi gases in optical lattices

We study a quantum phase transition between fermion superfluid (SF) and band insulator (BI) of fermions in optical lattices. The destruction of the band insulator is driven by the energy gain in promoting fermions from valance band to various conducting bands to form Cooper pairs. We show that the transition must take place in lattice height Vo/ER between 2.23 and 4.14. The latter is the prediction of mean-field theory while the former is the value for opening a band gap. As one moves across resonance to the molecule side, the SF-BI transition evolves into the SF-Mott-insulator transition of bosonic molecules. We shall also present the global phase diagram for SF-insulator transition for the BCS-BEC family.     

Experimental demonstration of improved neoclassical transport with quasihelical symmetry

Differences in the electron particle and thermal transport are reported between plasmas produced in a quasihelically symmetric (QHS) magnetic field and a configuration with the symmetry broken. The thermal diffusivity is reduced in the QHS configuration, resulting in higher electron temperatures than in the nonsymmetric configuration for a fixed power input. The density profile in QHS plasmas is centrally peaked, and in the nonsymmetric configuration the core density profile is hollow. The hollow profile is due to neoclassical thermodiffusion, which is reduced in the QHS configuration.     

Cobalt and nitrogen atoms co-doped porous carbon for advanced electrical double-layer capacitors

Electrical double-laye r capacitors are widely concerned fo r their high power density,long cycling life and high cycling efficiency.However,their wide application is limited by their low energy density.In this study,we propose a simple yet environmental friendly method to synthesize cobalt and nitrogen atoms co-doped porous carbon(CoAT-NC) material.Cobalt atoms connected with primarily pyridinic nitrogen atoms can be uniformly dispersed in the amorphous carbon matrix,which is benefit for improving electrical conductivity and density of states of the carbon material.Therefore,an enhanced perfo rmance is expected when CoAT-NC is served as electrode in a supercapacitor device.CoAT-NC displays a good gravimetric capacitance of 160 F/g at 0.5 A/g combing with outstanding capacitance retention of 90% at an extremely high current density of 100 A/g in acid electrolyte.Furthermore,a good energy density of30 Wh/kg can be obtained in the organic electrolyte.     

Self-assembled lamellar nanochannels in polyoxometalate-polymer nanocomposites for proton conduction

The construction of nanostructured ion-transport channels is highly desirable in the design of advanced electrolyte materials,as it can enhance ion conductivity by offering short ion-transport pathways.In this work,we present a supramolecular strategy to fabricate a nanocomposite electrolyte containing highly ordered lamellar proton-conducting nanochannels,by the electrostatic self-assembly of a polyoxometalate H_3 PW_(12)O_(4 O)(PW) and a comb copolymer poly(4-methlstyrene)-graft-poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone).PW can effectively regulate the self-assembling order of polymer moieties to form a large-ra nge lamellar structure,meanwhile,introducing protons into the nanoscale lamellar domains to build proton transport channels.Moreover,the rigid PW clusters contribute a remarkable mechanical reinforcement to the nanocomposites.The lamellar nanocomposite exhibits a conductivity of 4.3 × 10~(-4) S/cm and a storage modulus of 1.1 × 10~7 Pa at room temperature.This study provides a new strategy to construct nanostructured ion-conductive pathways in electrolyte materials.

VxWorks平台内核态ARINC653分区实时调度算法设计与实现

集成模块化航空电子架构(Integrated Modular Avionic, IMA)已成为主流航空电子系统。ARINC 653作为航空电子设备IMA架构的标准应用接口,成为研究航空电子软件编程方法的入口。最新研究表明,VxWorks能够为航空电子分区管理提供最优化的平台。然而,基于VxWorks的ARINC 653高效分区调度算法依然是研究的“盲区”。由此,设计了VxWorks内核态分层ARINC 653分区实时调度算法,提高了分区调度效率,为VxWorks内核ARINC 653完整性的研究提供非常有价值的参考。实验数据说明,相较于传统用户态分区管理模型,该调度算法使分区释放开销和分区释放抖动两项指标均显著降低。     

Noble Metals Can Have Different Effects on Photocatalysis Over Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs): A Case Study on M/NH2‐MIL‐125(Ti) (M=Pt and Au)

M‐doped NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti) (M=Pt and Au) were prepared by using the wetness impregnation method followed by a treatment with H₂ flow. The resultant samples were characterized by powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X‐ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses, N₂‐sorption BET surface area, and UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic reaction carried out in saturated CO₂ with triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial agent under visible‐light irradiations showed that the noble metal‐doping on NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti) promoted the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Unlike that over pure NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti), in which only formate was produced, both hydrogen and formate were formed over Pt‐ and Au‐loaded NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti). However, Pt and Au have different effects on the photocatalytic performance for formate production. Compared with pure NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti), Pt/NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti) showed an enhanced activity for photocatalytic formate formation, whereas Au has a negative effect on this reaction. To elucidate the origin of the different photocatalytic performance, electron spin resonance (ESR) analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out over M/NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti).The photocatalytic mechanisms over M/NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti) (M=Pt and Au) were proposed. For the first time, the hydrogen spillover from the noble metal Pt to the framework of NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti) and its promoting effect on the photocatalytic CO₂ reduction is revealed. The elucidation of the mechanism on the photocatalysis over M/NH₂‐MIL‐125(Ti) can provide some guidance in the development of new photocatalysts based on MOF materials. This study also demonstrates the potential of using noble metal‐doped MOFs in photocatalytic reactions involving hydrogen as a reactant, like hydrogenation reactions.     

Dysprosiacarboranes as Organometallic Single-Molecule Magnets

The dicarbollide ion, nido-C₂B₉H₁₁²⁻ is isoelectronic with cyclopentadienyl. Herein, we make dysprosiacarboranes, namely [(C₂B₉H₁₁)₂Ln(THF)₂][Na(THF)₅] (Ln=Dy, 1Dy ) and [(THF)₃(μ-H)₃Li]₂[{η⁵-C₆H₄(CH₂)₂C₂B₉H₉}Dy{η²:η⁵-C₆H₄(CH₂)₂C₂B₉H₉}₂Li] 3Dy and show that dicarbollide ligands impose strong magnetic axiality on the central Dy^III ion. The effective energy barrier (U_eff) for the loss of magnetization can be varied by the substitution pattern on the dicarbollide. This finding is demonstrated by comparing complexes of nido-C₂B₉H₁₁²⁻ and nido-[o-xylylene-C₂B₉H₉]²⁻, which show a U_eff of 430(5) K and 804(7) K, respectively. The blocking temperature defined by the open hysteresis temperature of 3Dy reaches 6.8 K. Moreover, the linear complex [Dy(C₂B₉H₁₁)₂]⁻ is predicted to have comparable properties with the linear [Dy(Cp^Me3)₂]⁺ complex. As such, carboranyl ligands and their derivatives may provide a new type of organometallic ligand for high-performance single-molecule magnets.     

Ultrastable Surface-Dominated Pseudocapacitive Potassium Storage Enabled by Edge-Enriched N-Doped Porous Carbon Nanosheets

The development of ultrastable carbon materials for potassium storage poses key limitations caused by the huge volume variation and sluggish kinetics. Nitrogen-enriched porous carbons have recently emerged as promising candidates for this application; however, rational control over nitrogen doping is needed to further suppress the long-term capacity fading. Here we propose a strategy based on pyrolysis–etching of a pyridine-coordinated polymer for deliberate manipulation of edge-nitrogen doping and specific spatial distribution in amorphous high-surface-area carbons; the obtained material shows an edge-nitrogen content of up to 9.34 at %, richer N distribution inside the material, and high surface area of 616 m² g⁻¹ under a cost-effective low-temperature carbonization. The optimized carbon delivers unprecedented K-storage stability over 6000 cycles with negligible capacity decay (252 mA h g⁻¹ after 4 months at 1 A g⁻¹), rarely reported for potassium storage.
