The incident electron is considered to be dressed by the laser field in a nonperturbative manner by choosing the Volkov solutions in both the initial and final channels. Detailed calculations of the scattering amplitudes are performed using the Sturmian basis expansion. The state of the ejected electron is described by a Coulomb-Volkov wave function. Two geometries are investigated in which the laser polarization vector is either parallel to the incident momentum of the projectile or parallel to the momentum transfer. Our numerical results show that, in the low energy range, these two laser polarization orientations give the same shape and the same order of magnitude of laser-assisted ionization cross sections of helium and hydrogen targets.展开更多

In the model, both the plasma hydrodynamics model and chemical model are considered. The numerical simulation is carried out for parallel-plate geometry with a separation of 0.06 cm. The results show that Ar* plays a major role in the discharge, which is mainly produced by ground state excitation reaction. The electron temperature reaches its maximum in the cathode sheath but maintains a low value (0.23 eV) in bulk plasma. Elastic collision is the dominant volumetric electron energy loss in atmosphere argon glow discharge, which is negligible in low pressure argon glow discharge. The metastable step-wise ionization is the main mechanism for electron production to sustain the discharge. However, the highest contribution to electron production rate is ground state ionization reaction. The bremsstrahlung power density is related to electric voltage. With the increase of the electric voltage, the bremsstrahlung power density increases, namely, the strength of ultraviolet radiation spectrum enhances in the cathode sheath.展开更多

The geometrical structures of all species were optimized by the wB97XD/6-311++G** method. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) analysis has been carried out for the reaction channels. Thermochemistry data have been obtained by utilizing the high accurate model chemistry method G3(MP2) combined with the standard statistical thermodynamic calculations. Gibbs free energies were used for reaction channels analysis. Two channels were obtained, which correspond to P(1) and P(2). The rate constants for the two channels over a wide temperature range of 200-2000 K were also obtained. The results show that the barriers of P(1) and P(2) reaction channels are 50.36 and 50.34 kJ/mol, respectively, predicting that it exists two competitive channels. The calculated rate constant is in good agreement with the experiment value. Additionally, the results also show that the rate constants also increase from 1.85x10^-16 to 2.16x 10^12 cm3.moleculel.s-1 from 200 to 2000 K展开更多

The mechanism for the atomic H initiated reactions with complete series of nineteen fluorophenol congeners was studies using the density functional theory. At the MPWB1K,/6-31+G(d,p) level, the geometries and frequencies of reactants, transition states, and products were obtained, and the accurate energetic values were acquired at the MPWB 1K/6-311 +G(3df,2p) level. The rate constants were evaluated by the canonical variational transition-state theory with the small curvature tunneling contribution over a wide temperature range of 600-1000 K. The study shows that the intramolecular hydrogen-bond in the ortho-substituted FPs as well as the inductive effect of the electron-withdrawing fluorine and steric repulsion of multiple substitutions may ultimately be responsible for the relative strength of the O-H bonds in FPs. The results can be used for further studies on PFDD/Fs formation mechanism.展开更多

In applications, platinum-based catalysts give ideal reactivity, but, in practice, are often subject to high costs and poor stability. Some costefficient transition metal oxides have exhibited excellent ORR reactivity, but the stability and durability of such alternative catalyst materials pose serious challenges. Here, we present a facile method to fabricate uniform CoxOy nanoparticles and embed them into N-doped carbon, which results in a composite of extraordinary stability and durability, while maintaining its high reactivity. The half-wave potential shows a negative shift of only 21 mV after 10,000 cycles, only one third of that observed for Pt/C (63 mV). Furthermore, after 100,000 s testing at a constant potential, the current decreases by only 17%, significantly less than for Pt/C (35%). The exceptional stability and durability results from the system architecture, which comprises a thin carbon shell that prevents agglomeration of the CoxOy nanoparticles and their detaching from the substrate.展开更多
