Theoretical study of electronic structure of rhodium mononitride and interpretation of experimental spectra

Potential energy curves of 22 electronic states of RhN have been calculated by the complete active space second‐order perturbation theory method. The X¹Σ₀⁺ is assigned as the ground state, and the first excited state a³Π₀+ is 978 cm^?1 higher. The ¹Δ(I) and B¹Σ⁺ states are located at 9521 and 13,046 cm^?1 above the ground state, respectively. The B¹Σ⁺ state should be the excited state located 12,300 cm^?1 above the ground state in the experimental study. Moreover, two excited states, C¹Π and b³Σ⁺, are found 14,963 and 15,082 cm^?1 above the X¹Σ⁺ state, respectively. The transition C¹Π₁–X¹Σ₀⁺ may contribute to the experimentally observed bands headed at 15,071 cm^?1. There are two excited states, D¹Δ and E¹Σ⁺, situate at 20,715 and 23,145 cm^?1 above the X¹Σ⁺ state. The visible bands near 20,000 cm^?1 could be generated by the electronic transitions D¹Δ₂–a³Π₁ and E¹Σ⁺₀–X¹Σ⁺₀ because of the spin–orbit coupling effect. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Unveiling the Activity Origin of a Copper-based Electrocatalyst for Selective Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia

Unveiling the active phase of catalytic materials under reaction conditions is important for the construction of efficient electrocatalysts for selective nitrate reduction to ammonia. The origin of the prominent activity enhancement for CuO (Faradaic efficiency: 95.8 %, Selectivity: 81.2 %) toward selective nitrate electroreduction to ammonia was probed. ¹⁵N isotope labeling experiments showed that ammonia originated from nitrate reduction. ¹H NMR spectroscopy and colorimetric methods were performed to quantify ammonia. In situ Raman and ex situ experiments revealed that CuO was electrochemically converted into Cu/Cu₂O, which serves as an active phase. The combined results of online differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and DFT calculations demonstrated that the electron transfer from Cu₂O to Cu at the interface could facilitate the formation of *NOH intermediate and suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction, leading to high selectivity and Faradaic efficiency.

Ionization effect to plasma expansion study during nanosecond pulsed laser deposition

The dynamic characteristic and effects of plasma play an important role in film growth process of pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Based on numerical hydrodynamic modeling, supposed the laser radiation and partial ionization of the plasma as a dynamic source, we deduce a set of new plasma expansion dynamics equations. Based on which, as an example of carbon target, using finite difference method, the plasma flow dynamics evolvement in vacuum is investigated. Our results show the dynamic partial ionization increases the expansion in all directions, which changes into a new dynamic source for plasma expansion. In the axial direction, because of the collisional interactions between particles, the plume density peak is in the vicinity of the target surface and the acceleration of plasma occurs mainly near the target surface too. In the transverse direction, the plume peak is not near the target, but at the surface. The space expansion distance is far less than the axial direction because there is no high initial velocity component in this direction. The predictions of the plasma expansion action based on the proposed dynamics source assumption are found to be in agreement with the experimental observation.

Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of some primitive abundant semigroups

In this paper, the growth and Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of some primitive abundant semigroups are investigated. It is shown that for certain primitive abundant (regular) semigroup S, S as well as the semigroup algebra K [S] has polynomial growth if and only if all of its cancellative submonoids (subgroups) T as well as K[T] have polynomial growth. As applications, it is shown that if S is a finitely generated primitive inverse monoid having the permutational property, then clK dim K[S] = GK dim K[S] = rk(S).
