An Artificial Skyrmion Platform with Robust Tunability in Synthetic Antiferromagnetic Multilayers

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial spin structures, and their existence in ferromagnetically coupled multilayers has been widely reported with a disordered arrangement. Here, a nucleation scenario of ordered skyrmions in nanostructured synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) multilayers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated using direct magnetization imaging, indirect magnetometer and magnetoresistance measurement, and micromagnetic simulation. Instead of relying on Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, the antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling in the SAF multilayers fulfills the role of nucleation and stabilization of skyrmions. The robustness of the proposed skyrmion nucleation scenario is examined against temperature from 4.5 to 300 K and device size from 400 to 1200 nm. Interestingly, these synthetic skyrmions still behave well with a size less than 100 nm. The higher stability than generic magnetic domains can be attributed to topological protection. The results thus provide an artificial skyrmion platform to meet the functional needs of high density and designable arrangement in magnonic and spintronic applications.     

Positive Effect of Ge Vacancies on Facilitating Band Convergence and Suppressing Bipolar Transport in GeTe‐Based Alloys for High Thermoelectric Performance

Because the intrinsic Ge vacancies in GeTe usually lead to high hole concentration beyond the optimal range, many previous studies tend to consider Ge vacancies as negative effects on increasing the figure of merit ZT of GeTe‐based alloys, and consequently have proposed various approaches to suppress Ge vacancies. However, in this work, it is demonstrated that the Ge vacancies can have great positive effects on enhancing the ZT of GeTe‐based alloys when the hole concentration falls into the optimal range. First, hole concentration of GeTe is reduced close to the optimal range by co‐alloying of Pb and Bi, and then the Ge vacancies are increased by adding excess Te into the Ge_0.8Pb_0.1Bi_0.1Te_1+x. The Ge vacancies can cause lattice shrinkage and promote rhombohedral‐to‐cubic phase transition. As revealed by first‐principle calculations, theoretical simulations, and experimental tests, Ge vacancies can facilitate the band convergence, suppress the bipolar transport at higher temperature range, and reduce the lattice thermal conductivity. Combining these effects, a peak ZT of 1.92 at 637 K and an average ZT of 1.34 within 300–773 K in Ge_0.8Pb_0.1Bi_0.1Te_1.06 can be obtained, demonstrating the great significance of utilizing vacancy‐type defects for enhancing ZT.

Single-molecule detection of DNA via sequence-specific links between F1-ATPase motors and gold nanorod sensors

We report the construction of a novel biosensing nanodevice to detect single, sequence-specific target DNA molecules. Nanodevice assembly occurs through the association of an immobilized F1-ATPase molecular motor and a functionalized gold nanorod via a single 3',5'-dibiotinylated DNA molecule. Target-dependent 3',5'-dibiotinylated DNA bridges form by combining ligation and exonucleation reactions (LXR), with a specificity capable of selecting against a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Using dark field microscopy to detect gold nanorods, quantitation of assembled nanodevices is sufficient to distinguish the presence of as few as 1800 DNA bridges from nonspecifically bound nanorods. The rotary mechanism of F1-ATPase can drive gold nanorod rotation when the nanorod is attached via the DNA bridge. Therefore, rotation discriminates fully assembled devices from nonspecifically bound nanorods, resulting in a sensitivity limit of one zeptomole (600 molecules).     

Construction and application of a novel library: Fourier transform infrared wavelet coefficients library

This article aims at designing a wavelet alternative to Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). In order to select the most suitable wavelet parameters to perform, several decomposition levels and 53 wavelets were tested by trial and error approach, respectively. The result indicated that discrete meyer wavelet (dmey) associated with its third decomposition level was very efficient for this purpose. On the base of it, a novel library named as Fourier transform infrared wavelet coefficients library (FTIR-WC) has been constructed. Finally, two tools such as library search and structure elucidation were developed to evaluate the capability of the new library system. The results obtained were also compared with those from FTIR library by a variety of indices. The results suggested that the new library performed better but with less volume. This work is expected to propose a novel and practical strategy in infrared spectroscopic analysis.

分子量分布对双烯聚合物粘弹性能的影响—Ⅱ.顺-1,4-聚异戊二烯的粘弹性能对分子量及其分布的依赖关系

本文利用凝胶渗透色谱和应力松弛方法研究了顺-1,4-聚异戊二烯的粘弹性能对分子量及分布的依赖性。实验结果表明,生胶的松弛模量和最长松弛时间与分子量和分子量分布都有依赖关系,主要是改变τ_m=KM_w^β关系中的K值,对β值的影响甚小。由于本体聚合物的链缠结而导致的非牛顿效应使生胶的τ_m与KM_w的关系偏离3.4法则,这可用缠结网络密度来校正。探讨了生胶的应力松弛过程是橡胶分子链的滑移和解缠结兼有的两种运动。低分子量级份对链缠结网络有显著影响,起稀释剂作用,使网络的临界缠结分子量增高。
