First-principles calculation of structural stability,lattice dynamic and thermodynamic properties of BeX (X = S,Se and Te) compounds under high pressure

The phase transitions, lattice dynamical and thermodynamic properties of BeS, BsSe and BeTe at high pressure have been investigated with the density functional theory. The calculated equilibrium structural parameters agree well with the available experimental and theoretical values. The phase transition pressures from the zinc-blende (ZB) to the nickel arsenide (NiAs) phase of these compounds are determined. The calculated phonon dispersion curves of these compounds in ZB phase at zero pressure do not show any anomaly or instability. Dynamically, the ZB phase of BeS, BeSe and BeTe is found to be stable near transition pressures P_T. Within the quasiharmonic approximation, the thermodynamic properties including the thermal expansion coefficient, heat capacity at constant volume, heat capacity at constant pressure and entropy are predicted.     

Light-Driven Crawling of Molecular Crystals by Phase-Dependent Transient Elastic Lattice Deformation

The light-driven crawling of a molecular crystal that can form three phases, (α, β, and γ) is presented. Laser irradiation of the molecular crystal can generate phase-dependent transient elastic lattice deformation. The resulting elastic lattice deformation that follows scanning irradiation of a laser can actuate the different phases of molecular crystal to move with different velocity and direction. Because the γ phase has a large Young's modulus (ca. 26 GPa), a force of 0.1 μN can be generated under one laser spot. The generated force is sufficient to actuate the γ-formed molecular crystals in a wide dimensional range to move longitudinally at a velocity of about 60 μm min⁻¹, which is two orders of magnitude faster than the α and β phases.     

The miracle role of lattice imperfections in benzene alkylation with methanol over mordenite

Mordenite (MOR) has demonstrated potential as a catalyst for alkylation due to high variability, intrinsic porosity, and outstanding stability. However, the contact probability of benzene and methanol has been limited by typical layered structures of MOR and there is no connection between layers. Here, we report the preparedness of H-MOR via a sequential post-treatment method based on a commercial MOR. H-MOR sample had appeared lattice imperfections inferred from characterization means. The samples were tested with benezene methylation reaction. Results show that the high conversion of benzene and the high selectivity of toluene were obtained from the miracle role of lattice imperfections in the H-MOR sample. Sequentially, based on the study of all catalyst structure and physical properties, a plausible reaction mechanism for the selectivity of the desired toluene was proposed.     

Engineering lattice defects in 2D nanomaterials for enhancing biomedical performances

2D nanomaterials are widely investigated for biomedical applications, attributed to their large specific surface area, high therapeutic loading capacity, and unique optical, thermal, and/or electronic characteristics. Lattice defects affect the theranostic performance of 2D nanomaterials significantly by altering their electronic properties and chemical binding. Recent investigations have shown that defect-rich 2D nanomaterials are capable of enhancing tumor treatment through efficient drug delivery, photothermal and photodynamic therapies (PTT and PDT), and improving diagnostics via computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic and magnetic resonance imaging. This review summarizes recent progresses, including synthesis, characterization approach, and applications of defect-engineered 2D nanomaterials that are potentially useful in cancer treatment. The expert opinions are also proposed as the conclusion.

多棱锥镜产生多光束干涉场的理论和实验研究

提出了一种使用多棱锥镜和多棱台镜产生多束相干光形成二维和三维光学格子的方法。理论分析和数值模拟了多束轴对称平面波干涉产生的二维及三维点阵结构的特性,得到了光场分布随光束数增加的关系,发现随着干涉光数目的增加,干涉场会复杂变化,当棱锥棱数足够多近似于一个圆锥时,干涉场会变为同心圆结构的贝塞尔光束的场分布。实验上使用多棱锥和多棱台镜进行了多光束干涉实验,得到了多束轴对称平面波干涉形成的光学格子,将数值模拟与实验结果进行了比较,二者完全吻合。     

贪婪格点路径的一些性质

设{Xv:v∈Zd}是一族独立同分布的随机变量序列,对Zd上的任意一路径π,定义S(π)=∑v∈πXv,记Mn=maxπ∈Π0(n)S(π),Π0(n)表示从原点出发大小为n的自不相交的路径的全体.论文讨论Mn的性质,得到了类似完全收敛性的结果,即对任意的ε>0,∑∞n=11nPMnn-M>ε<∞.另外还讨论了Xv允许取负值的情形,得到类似的结果,从而推广了Gandolfi和Kesten所研究的贪婪格点路径模型.
