Heat Transport in Double-Bond Linear Chains of Fullerenes

Heat transport in one kind of double-bond linear chains of fullerenes （C60＇s） is investigated by the classical nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. It is found that the negative differential thermal resistance （NDTR） is more likely to occur at larger temperature difference and shorter length. In addition, with the increase of the length, the thermal conductivity of the chains increases, and NDTR region shrinks and vanishes in the end. The temperature profiles reveal that a large temperature jump exists at a high-temperature boundary of the chains when NDTR occurs. These results may be helpful for designing thermal devices where low-dimensional C60 polymers can be used.

Study of Decoherence of Entangled States Made up of Two Basic States in a Linear Chain of Three Qubits

Using Lindblad approach to study decoherence of quantum systems, we study the decoherence and decay of entangled states, formed by two basic states of a chain of thee qubits. We look on these states for a possible regular dependence on their decay as a function of their energy separation between the basic states under different types of environments. We didn’t find regular or significant dependence on this energy separation for the type of environment considered.

Stability of the linear chain structure for 12C in covariant density functional theory on a 3D lattice

The stability of the linear chain structure of three α clusters for 12C against the bending and fission is investigated in the cranking covariant density functional theory, in which the equation of motion is solved on a 3D lattice with the inverse Hamiltonian and the Fourier spectral methods. Starting from a twisted three α initial configuration, it is found that the linear chain structure is stable when the rotational frequency is within the range of ~2.0-~2.5 MeV. Beyond this range, the final states are not stable against fission. By examining the density distributions and the occupation of single-particle levels, however, these fissions are found to arise from the occupation of unphysical continuum with large angular momenta. To properly remove these unphysical continuum, a damping function for the cranking term is introduced. Eventually, the stable linear chain structure could survive up to the rotational frequency ~3.5 MeV, but the fission still occurs when the rotational frequency approaches ~4.0 MeV.

Application of the Long-Chain Linear Polyester in Plastification of PVC

The plastification modification of poly （vinyl chloride） （PVC） with the long-chain linear polyester （LP） synthesized by linear dodecanedioic acid （DC12） or tetradecanedioic acid （DC14） with different diols is investigated. The processing characteristics, mechanical properties and extraction property of the PVC/LP blends in different solvents （xylene, cyclohexane, ethanol） were also studied in detail. All results were compared with that of the PVC plasticized with dioctyl phthalate （DOP）. The results show that the molecular weight, molecular structure and loading of LP greatly influence the mechanical properties of the PVC/LP blends. The processability and the mechanical properties of PVC plasticized by LP are comparable to those of the corresponding PVC/DOP blends. However, the PVC/LP blends posses much better migration resistance property than the corresponding PVC/DOP blends, which makes the long-chain linear polyester become a very good plasticizer candidate for PVC industry.

Linear-contract Mechanisms Based on the Risk Preference of an Agent in a Supply Chain

With respect to different risk preference of an agent in a supply chain, linear-contract models are designed according to the principal-agent theory. The study shows that the risk preference of an agent directly correlates with the incentive compensation coefficient of principal, order quantity of principal and production capability level of the agent. The principal should offer an appropriate incentive contract according to the risk preference of the agent, or choose an agent holding a different risk preference to establish the supply chain.

Statistical Thermodynamic Properties of Linear Protein Solutions

The thermodynamic properties of linear protein solutions are discussed by a statistical me-chanics theory with a lattice model. The numerical results show that the Gibbs function of the solution decreases, and the protein chemical potential is enhanced with increase of the protein concentration for dilute solutions. The influences of chain length and temperature on the Gibbs function of the solution as well as the protein chemical potential are analyzed.As an application of the theory, the chemical potentials of some mutants of type I antifreeze proteins are computed and discussed.

Structure influence of alkyl chains of thienothiophene-porphyrins on the performance of organic solar cells

Two new A-D-A porphyrin derivatives,denoted as XLP-I and XLP-II,were prepared through extending theπ-conjugation of thienothiophene-porphyrin center with phenylethynyl bridges and electron-deficient ethylrhodanine terminal units,and varying the structures of alkyl chain(linear vs branched)on peripheral thienothiophene substitutions of porphyrin rings.Both molecules show strong absorption in UV–visible–near-infrared region,good thermal stability,suitable energy levels,and ordered molecular packing in solid state.In organic solar cells,PC71BM was used as electron acceptor,and porphyrin small molecules were used as electron donors.The device based on XLP-I exhibits a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 8.30%,an open circuit voltage(Voc)of 0.894 eV,and a fill factor(FF)of 62.1%.In contrast,the device based on XLP-II presents an inferior performance with a PCE of 3.14%,a Voc of 0.847 eV,and a FF of 49.3%.The better performance of XLP-I based device is mainly attributed to its optimized film morphology,excellent absorption,and well-balanced charge transport properties.

Carbyne is an infinitely long linear chain of carbon atoms with sp1hybridization and the truly one-dimensional allotrope of carbon.While obtaining freestanding carbyne is still an open challenge,the study of confined carbyne,linear chains of carbon encapsulated in carbon nanotubes,provides a pathway to explore carbyne and its remarkable properties in a well-defined environment.In this review,we discuss the basics and recent advances in studying single confined carbyne chains by Raman spectroscopy,which is their primary spectroscopic characterization method.We highlight where single carbyne chain studies are needed to advance our understanding of confined carbyne as a material system and provide an overview of the open questions that need to be addressed and of those aspects currently under debate.

Compact-like discrete breather and its stability in a discrete monatomic Klein-Gordon chain

This paper studies a discrete one-dimensional monatomic Klein Gordon chain with only quartic nearest-neighbour interactions, in which the compact-like discrete breathers can be explicitly constructed by an exact separation of their time and space dependence. Introducing the trying method, it proves that compact-like discrete breathers exist in this nonlinear system. It also discusses the linear stability of the compact-like discrete breathers, when the coefficient （β） of quartic on-site potential and the coupling constant （K4） of quartic interactive potential satisfy the given conditions, they are linearly stable.

Inherent Numerical Instability in Computing Invariant Measures of Markov Chains

Invariant measures of Markov chains in discrete or continuous time with a countable set of states are characterized by its steady state recurrence relations. Exemplarily, we consider transition matrices and Q-matrices with upper bandwidth n and lower bandwidth 1 where the invariant measures satisfy an (n + 1)-order linear difference equation. Markov chains of this type arise from applications to queueing problems and population dynamics. It is the purpose of this paper to point out that the forward use of this difference equation is subject to some hitherto unobserved aspects. By means of the concept of generalized continued fractions (GCFs), we prove that each invariant measure is a dominated solution of the difference equation such that forward computation becomes numerically unstable. Furthermore, the GCF-based approach provides a decoupled recursion in which the phenomenon of numerical instability does not appear. The procedure results in an iteration scheme for successively computing approximants of the desired invariant measure depending on some truncation level N. Increasing N leads to the desired solution. A comparison study of forward computation and the GCF-based approach is given for Q-matrices with upper bandwidth 1 and 2.

回溯算法在燃耗计算中的应用

采用解析解的线性核素链方法在进行燃耗计算时首先根据分治和递归的策略将燃耗矩阵进行解耦,形成具有马尔科夫特性的线性核素链。然后通过对每一条链的解析计算得到所有相关核素的核密度、活度、衰变热等数据。然而在核素链的构建过程中需对每一个可能的核反应路径进行计算。欲保证计算的精度和效率,需寻求一种既能覆盖所有反应路径、又能根据问题描述和约束条件进行自动搜索的算法。本文通过对各种搜索算法的分析和比较并根据燃耗链构建过程的特点,最终采用回溯算法进行深度优先搜索,在搜索过程中完成燃耗链的构建和计算,从而形成问题相关的、具有高精度的自适应燃耗算法。同时结合燃耗过程和回溯算法的特点进行了解空间和时间复杂性的分析。将所开发的多群点燃耗计算程序与蒙特卡罗输运计算程序MCMG-Ⅱ进行耦合,通过对中国实验快堆首炉堆芯燃耗的计算和分析完成程序的初步验证。
