Anomalous bond lengthening in compressed magnetic doped semiconductor Ba(Zn_(0.95)Mn_(0.05))_(2)As_(2)

Applying pressure has been evidenced as an effective method to control the properties of semiconductors,owing to its capability to modify the band configuration around Fermi energy.Correspondingly,structural evolutions under external pres-sures are required to analyze the mechanisms.Herein high-pressure structure of a magnetic doped semiconductor Ba(Zn_(0.95)Mn_(0.05))_(2)As_(2)is studied with combination of in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffractions and diamond anvil cells.The materials become ferromagnetic with Curie temperature of 105 K after further 20%K doping.The title material undergoes an isostruc-tural phase transition at around 19 GPa.Below the transition pressure,it is remarkable to find lengthening of Zn/Mn-As bond within Zn/MnAs layers,since chemical bonds are generally shortened with applying pressures.Accompanied with the bond stretch,interlayer As-As distances become shorter and the As-As dimers form after the phase transition.With further compres-sion,Zn/Mn-As bond becomes shortened due to the recovery of isotropic compression on the Zn/MnAs layers.

原位电化学扫描探针显微镜技术在电催化领域的应用进展

在电化学界面,电催化过程通常包括电子转移、吸附和脱附、静电相互作用、溶剂化及去溶剂化等多步过程,深入理解电催化反应机理极具挑战性.对纳米结构电化学界面(电极)处电催化过程的深入理解十分有助于阐明电催化反应机理和设计高性能电催化剂材料.电催化活性通常与电催化剂表面局域化的活性位点密切有关.在反应条件下,电催化反应过程的研究极大依赖于高分辨表征技术.经典的宏观电化学表征方法仅可以提供不同界面位点的平均信息,很难分辨一些特殊结构位点(如缺陷、晶界、边缘位点)的相关重要电化学信息.原位电化学扫描探针显微镜技术,包括电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)、电化学原子力显微镜(EC-AFM)、扫描电化学显微镜(SECM)及扫描电化学池显微镜(SECCM),能够在纳米及原子尺度研究电催化反应过程,弥补了宏观表征方法的不足,为探究构效关系和解析电催化反应机理提供了机遇.本文介绍了各种扫描显微技术的基本原理、特点及优劣势,并且概述了各项技术在电催化领域研究的重大进展.EC-STM和EC-AFM能够原位表征电催化过程中的纳米尺度表面结构演变及吸附/脱附过程,但无法直接测量局部电化学活性(法拉第电流).通过SECM和SECCM可以检测微区电化学信号,并获得电化学通量和电化学反应动力学信息,可作为EC-STM和EC-AFM的补充技术.结合二者的优势,进一步介绍了双探针结合技术(SECM-AFM,SECM-STM,SECM-SICM及SECM-SECCM)的原理和关键电催化应用.随后,从揭示构效关系、结构演变/稳定性、反应物或中间物的吸附、反应路径和选择性等角度,总结了这些原位电化学扫描探针显微镜技术在电催化领域(析氢反应、氢氧化反应、析氧反应、氧还原反应及CO_(2)还原反应)的最新研究进展.最后,对原位电化学扫描探针显微镜技术在电催化领域研究的挑战及未来发展进行了展望.

Advances in new generation diluted magnetic semiconductors with independent spin and charge doping

As one branch of spintronics, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) are extensively investigated due to their fundamental significance and potential application in modern information society. The classical materials (Ga,Mn)As of III-V group based DMSs has been well studied for its high compatibility with the high-mobility semiconductor GaAs. But the Curie temperature in (Ga,Mn)As film is still far below room temperature because the spin & charge doping is bundled to the same element that makes the fabrication very difficult. Alternatively, the discovery of a new generation DMSs with independent spin and charge doping, such as (Ba,K)(Zn,Mn)2As2 (briefly named BZA), attracted considerable attention due to their unique advantages in physical properties and heterojunction fabrication. In this review we focus on this series of new DMSs including (I) materials in terms of three types of new DMSs, i.e. the "111","122" and "1111" system;(II) the physical properties of BZA;(III) single crystals & prototype device based on BZA. The prospective of new type of DMSs with independent spin and charge doping is briefly discussed.

Toward enhanced alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis with transition metal‐functionalized nitrogen‐doped carbon supports

Superior catalyst supports are crucial to developing advanced electrocatalysts toward heterogeneous catalytic reactions.Herein,we systematically investigate the role of transition metal‐functionalized N‐doped carbon nanosheets(M‐N‐C,M=Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Mo,and Ag)as the multifunctional electrocatalyst supports toward hydrogen evolution/oxidation reactions(HER/HOR)in alkaline media.The results demonstrate that all the M‐N‐C nanosheets,except Cu‐N‐C and Ag‐N‐C,can promote the alkaline HER/HOR electrocatalytic activity of Pt by accelerating the sluggish Volmer step,among which Mn plays a more significant role.Analyses reveal that the promotion effect of M‐N‐C support is closely associated with the electronegativity of the metal dopants and the relative filling degree of their d‐orbitals.For one,the metal dopant in M‐N‐C with smaller electronegativity would provide more electrons to oxygen and hence tune the electronic structure of Pt via the M‐O‐Pt bonds at the interface.For another,the transition metal in M‐N4 moieties with more empty d orbitals would hybridize with O 2p orbitals more strongly that promotes the adsorption of water/hydroxyl species.The results demonstrate the conceptual significance of multifunctional supports and would inspire the future development of advanced electrocatalysts.

The PCR product was doubly digested by Xbal and Sail, and then recombined into eukaryotic expression vector. Then, plRES-GFP-ANGPTL4 was obtained by G418 selection, then plRES-GFP-ANGPTL4 and plRES-GFP were transfected into EC9706 cells with lipidosome-packaged method. Meanwhile, the transfected cells were selected by G418, and then stable transfected cell lines were obtained. ANGPTL4 mRNA levels, the celt cycles and growth curves of EC9706 cells in experiment group （transfected with plRES-GFP-ANGPTL4）, empty vector group （transfected with plRES-GFP） and blank control group （EC9706 cells without transfection） were detected with RT-PCR, flow cytometry and MTT methods, respectively. Results： Eukaryotic ANGPTL4 expression vector plRES-GFP-ANGPTL4 was successfully constructed. The ANGPTL4 mRNA level （0.21 ± 0.03） in experiment group was significantly higher than that of the empty vector group （0.04 ± 0.008） and the blank control group （0.05 ± 0.007）, with significant differences （P 〈 0.01）. The proportion of cells in S phase in experiment group was significantly different with those of the other two groups （P 〈 0.05）. The cell growth of EC9706 cells in experiment group was slower than those of the other two groups. From the third day, the differences began to be significant. Conclusion： ANGPTL4 overexpression in esophageal carcinoma EC9706 cells could inhibit the growth of EC9706 cells.

Epitaxial interface stabilizing iridium dioxide toward the oxygen evolution reaction under high working potentials

Proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer(PEMWE)driven by renewable electricity is a promising technique toward green hydrogen production,but the corrosive environment and high working potential pose severe challenges for developing advanced electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Although Ir-based materials possess relatively balanced activity and stability for the OER,their dissolution behavior cannot be neglected,in particular under high working potentials.In this work,iridium dioxide(IrO_(2))nanoparticles(NPs)were anchored on the surface of exfoliated h-boron nitride(BN)nanosheets(NSs)toward the OER reaction in acid media.Highly active Ir(V)species were stabilized by the epitaxial interface between IrO_(2)and h-BN,and therefore the IrO_(2)/BN delivered stable performance at increased working potentials,while the activity of bare IrO_(2)NPs without h-BN support decreased rapidly.Also,the smaller lattice spacing of h-BN induced compressive strain for IrO_(2),resulting in improved activity.Our results demonstrate the feasibility of stabilizing highly active Ir(V)species for the OER in acid media by constructing robust interface and provide new possibilities toward designing advanced heterostructured electrocatalysts.

A joint InSAR-GNSS workfow for correction and selection of interferograms to estimate high-resolution interseismic deformations

Knowledge of the spatial distribution of interseismic deformations is essential to better understand earthquake cycles.The existing methods for improving the reliability of the obtained deformations often rely on visual inspection and prior model corrections that are time-consuming,labor-intensive,and do not consider the spatial distribution of interseismic deformations.Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR)data provides wide-scale coverage for interseismic deformation monitoring over a wide area.However,the interseismic signal featured as millimeter-scale and long-wave deformations is often contaminated with noise.In the present study,a new workfow to correct the interferometric phase and quantitatively select interferograms is proposed to improve the accuracy of interseismic deformation measurements.Initially,the Generic Atmospheric Correction Online Service(GACOS),Intermittent Code for Atmospheric Noise Depression through Iterative Stacking(I-CANDIS),and plate model are combined to correct the atmospheric screen and long-wave ramp phase.Subsequently,the Pearson’s Correlation Coefcient(PCC)between the interferometric phase and the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)constrained interseismic model as well as the STandard Deviation(STD)of the interferometric phase are introduced as criteria to optimize the selection of interferograms.Finally,the intermittent stacking method is used to generate an average velocity map.A comprehensive test using Sentinel-1 images covering the Haiyuan Fault Zone validate the efectiveness of our workfow in measuring interseismic deformations.This demonstrates that the proposed joint InSAR-GNSS workfow can be extended to study the subtle interseismic deformations of major fault systems in Tibet and worldwide.

Interface engineering of heterostructured electrocatalysts towards efficient alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis

Boosting the alkaline hydrogen evolution and oxidation reaction(HER/HOR)kinetics is vital to practicing the renewable hydrogen cycle in alkaline media.Recently,intensive research has demonstrated that interface engineering is of critical significance for improving the performance of heterostructured electrocatalysts particularly toward the electrochemical reactions involving multiple reaction intermediates like alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis,and the research advances also bring substantial non-trivial fundamental insights accordingly.Herein,we review the current status of interface engineering with respect to developing efficient heterostructured electrocatalysts for alkaline HER and HOR.Two major subjects—how interface engineering promotes the reaction kinetics and what fundamental insights interface engineering has brought into alkaline HER and HOR—are discussed.Specifically,heterostructured electrocatalysts with abundant interfaces have shown substantially accelerated alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis kinetics owing to the synergistic effect from different components,which could balance the adsorption/desorption behaviors of the intermediates at the interfaces.Meanwhile,interface engineering can effectively tune the electronic structures of the active sites via electronic interaction,interfacial bonding,and lattice strain,which would appropriately optimize the binding energy of targeted intermediates like hydrogen.Furthermore,the confinement effect is critical for delivering high durability by sustaining high density of active sites.At last,our own perspectives on the challenges and opportunities toward developing efficient heterostructured electrocatalysts for alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis are provided.

Parameter influence law analysis and optimal design of a dual mass flywheel

The influence of the dynamic parameters of a dual mass flywheel(DMF)on its vibration reduction performance is analyzed,and several optimization algorithms are used to carry out multiobjective DMF optimization design.First,the vehicle powertrain system is modeled according to the parameter configuration of the test vehicle.The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing the simulation data with the test results.Then,the model is used to analyze the influence of the moment of inertia ratio,torsional stiffness,and damping in reducing DMF vibration.The speed fluctuation amplitude at the transmission input shaft and the natural frequency of the vehicle are taken as the optimization objectives.The passive selection method,multiobjective particle swarm optimization,and the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm based on an elite strategy are used to carry out DMF multiobjective optimization design.The advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms are evaluated,and the best optimization algorithm is selected.
