电场对中间神经元亚线性树突整合的调制作用

中间神经元的树突形态大多呈现出空间对称性分布,使得电场在其胞体附近引起的膜电位极化作用微弱,因此大多数研究认为电场对中间神经元难以产生调制作用.然而,电场在中间神经元末端的树突棘位置能够诱发较强的膜电压极化效应,远端的树突极化是否以及如何影响中间神经元的树突整合特性尚不十分清楚.为此本文针对分散和集中空间分布的AMPA类型突触输入,研究了电场对中间神经元全局和局部亚线性树突整合特性的调制作用.为了描述电场作用下树突对AMPA突触输入积分的潜在规律,首先建立了描述中间神经元输入-输出关系的简化电路模型,此模型具有多个被动树突分支且以不均匀细胞外膜电势表征电场诱发的极化效应;其次,基于奇异摄动理论分析了电场调节下的亚线性树突整合的动力学特性,推导出了可描述局部和全局树突整合的阈下输入-输出关系的渐近解析表达式.理论分析结果表明,电场通过改变AMPA突触输入的驱动力调节中间神经元局部以及全局亚线性树突整合特性,调制效应依赖于电场对远端树突的极化程度.相比于局部树突整合,电场对全局树突整合调制更敏感.最后,利用电场作用下具有真实树突形态的海马CA1区中间神经元模型仿真验证了理论分析结果.     

Transport in graphene nanostructures

Graphene nanostructures are promising candidates for future nanoelectronics and solid-state quantum information technology. In this review we provide an overview of a number of electron transport experiments on etched graphene nanostructures. We briefly revisit the electronic properties and the transport characteristics of bulk, i.e., two-dimensional graphene. The fabrication techniques for making graphene nanostructures such as nanoribbons, single electron transistors and quantum dots, mainly based on a dry etching ??paper-cutting?? technique are discussed in detail. The limitations of the current fabrication technology are discussed when we outline the quantum transport properties of the nanostructured devices. In particular we focus here on transport through graphene nanoribbons and constrictions, single electron transistors as well as on graphene quantum dots including double quantum dots. These quasi-one-dimensional (nanoribbons) and quasi-zero-dimensional (quantum dots) graphene nanostructures show a clear route of how to overcome the gapless nature of graphene allowing the confinement of individual carriers and their control by lateral graphene gates and charge detectors. In particular, we emphasize that graphene quantum dots and double quantum dots are very promising systems for spin-based solid state quantum computation, since they are believed to have exceptionally long spin coherence times due to weak spin-orbit coupling and weak hyperfine interaction in graphene.

Quantitative conditions for the formation of p-wave neutron halos

With the experimental binding energies and configurations, the root-mean-square radii of p-wave valence neutron distributions for nuclei up to the second p-shell have been calculated in the framework of the single-particle potential model. By analyzing the relations between the radii and the binding energies, the scaling laws of p-wave valence neutron distributions are obtained. The quantitative conditions for the formation of p-wave neutron halos are deduced from these scaling laws. Based on the investigation on the probability of finding the valence nucleon outside the range of the interaction potential, a 2p_3/2 halo state in ⁴⁷S is anticipated for the first time. These obtained results might provide reference for searching for p-wave neutron halos in nuclei up to the second p-shell.     

A novel simulation method to evaluate the collection performance of a monolithic active pixel sensor

A novel simulation method is presented in this paper to evaluate the collection performance of monolithic active pixel sensor (MAPS) devices for minimum ionizing particle tracking. A simplified 3D matrix pixel structure is built using the computer aided design software Sentaurus. The virtual device is then divided into hundreds of parts and an independent customized X photon model is involved in each part to simulate the conditions under ⁵⁵Fe radiation. After data processing and analysis, charge collection efficiency, collection time and diffusion conditions can be estimated in detail. In order to verify the reliability of the method, comparisons are made between the simulations and experiments. Although there are some defects, it can be concluded that the proposed idea is a feasible method for the evaluation of the MAPS collection performance.
