性别、种族、身份的对位书写——从《米立:中国童话》到《K》

纵观东西方文学史,从18世纪霍勒斯·沃普尔的《米立:中国童话》直至晚近以来虹影的《K》等7部作品,我们发现了一条隐秘的"对位书写"链条。《米立:中国童话》虚构了一位中国王子和落难的英国小姐之间的故事,小说通过性别、种族和身份元素来建构东西方文化关系的叙事模式,在《蝴蝶夫人》《西贡小姐》和《情人》中得到了延续。但与前者不同的是,殖民时代的西方作家在种族、性别和身份的重设中颠覆了沃普尔时代的文化倾向,作品中的东西方关系架构隐含有宗主国的强势文化逻辑,作品具有显著的东方主义色彩。与此相对,20世纪末期的《蝴蝶君》《扶桑》和《K》则反映了具有东方背景的作家与西方作家进行对话并重新建构东西方文化关系的的创作意图。从《米立:中国童话》到《K》,东西方文化的二元对立关系经历着被刻意书写和有意解构的过程,彼此形成了"对位书写"的关系,体现了殖民主义思潮和后殖民主义思潮在文学中的再现,最终指向的是权力话语的争夺,包含了作者曲折而复杂的创作动机。

BONDING INTERFACE AND WEAR BEHAVIOR OF CBN GRAINS BRAZED USING NANO-TiC POWDER MODIFIED FILLER

A new kind of composite fillers,composed of Ag-Cu-Ti alloy and nano-TiC powders,is utilized to braze cubic boron nitride （CBN） grains and tool substrate. The bonding system,including the interfacial microstructure and reactive products between CBN grains and filler layer,is observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Resistant-to-wear experiments of the brazed grains are performed. Results show that the nano-TiC powders evenly distribute in the filler layer so that the resultants grow compactly and uniformly on the surface of CBN grain. This indicates that the chemical bond is established between CBN grains and nano-TiC modified filler. Accordingly,the bonding strength of the grains is ensured. The CBN grains are worn smoothly without grain pull-out.

Gold nanoparticle stabilization within tailored cubic mesoporous silica:Optimizing alcohol oxidation activity

Stabilizing gold nanoparticles（AuNPs） within a desired size range is critical to realize their promising catalytic performance in many important reactions.Herein,we investigate the anti-sintering properties of cubic mesoporous silica（FDU-12） as a function of pore entrance size.Simple adjustments to the type of organic template and reaction temperature enable the successful synthesis of FDU-12 with controllable entrance sizes（ 3,3-5 and 7 nm）.Excellent anti-sintering properties are observed for FDU-12 with a sub-5-nm entrance size（3-5 nm） over a wide loading concentration（1.0-8.3 wt%） and the AuNPs can be stabilized within a 4.5-5.0-nm range after calcination at 550 ℃in air for 5 h.Smaller entrance size（ 3 nm） prevents ingress of 3-nm AuNPs to the mesopores and results in low loading capacity and sintering.Conversely,FDU-12 possessing a larger entrance size（7 nm） shows promising anti-sintering properties at high loading concentrations,although catalytic performance is significantly lost at lower concentrations（e.g.2.1 wt%,14.2 ± 5.5 nm）.Different anti-sintering mechanisms are proposed for each of the different FDU-12 entrance sizes.Additionally,catalytic data indicates that the obtained 4.5-nm AuNPs supported on FDU-12 with a sub-5-nm entrance size exhibit excellent mass-specific activity（1544 mmol g_（Au）^（-1） h^（-1）） and selectivity（ 99%）at 230 ℃ for the gas-phase selective oxidation of cyclohexanol.

Preparation of Nano-MnFe2O4 and Its Catalytic Performance of Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

Nano-MnFe2O4 particles were synthesized by co-precipitation phase inversion method and low-temperature combustion method respectively, using MnCl2, FeCl3, Mn（NO3）2, Fe（NO3）3, NaOH and C6H8O7. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）, thermogravim-etry-differential thermal analysis （TG-DTA） and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） were used to characterize the structure, morphology, thermal stability of MnFe2O4 and its catalytic performance to ammonium perchlorate. Results showed that single-phased and uniform spinel MnFe2O4 was obtained. The average particle size was about 30 and 20 nm. The infrared absorption peaks appeared at about 420 and 574 cm-1, and the particles were stable below 524 ℃. Using the two prepared catalysts, the higher thermal decomposition temperature of ammonium perchlorate was decreased by 77.3 and 84.9 ℃ respectively, while the apparent decomposition heat was increased by 482.5 and 574.3 J？g？1. The catalytic mechanism could be explained by the favorable electron transfer space provided by outer d orbit of transition metal ions and the high specific surface absorption effect of MnFe2O4 particles.

Characterization of Lignins Isolated from Alkali Treated Prehydrolysate of Corn Stover

Lignins were isolated and purified from alkali treated prehydrolysate of corn stover. The paper presents the structural features of lignins in a series purification processes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-vis spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to analyze the chemical structure. Thermogravimetric analysis was applied to follow the thermal degradation, and wet chemical method was used to determine the sugar content. The results showed that the crude lignin from the prehydrolysate of corn stover was a heterogeneous material of syringyl, guaiacyl and p-hydroxyphenyl units, containing associated polysaccharides, lipids, and melted salts. Some of the crude lignin was chemically linked to hemicelluloses （mainly xylan）. The lipids in crude lignin were probably composed of saturated and/or unsaturated long carbon chains, fatty acids, tdterpenols, waxes, and derivatives of aromatic. The sugar content of purified lignin was less than 2.11%, mainly composed of guaiacyl units. DTGmax of purified lignin was 359 ℃. The majority of the hydroxyl groups were phenolic hydroxyl groups. The main type of linkages in purified lignin was β-O-4. Other types of linkages included β-5, β-β and α-O-4.

Characterization of self-assembled nano-phase silane-based particle coating

Self-assembled nano-phase silane-based particle coating was prepared through sol-gel technique.Tetramethoxysilane and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane were used as precursors for the self-assembled sol-gel coatings.The silane colloidal particle size was analyzed by laser particle size measurement.The results indicate that the particle size is in nano-scale and the diameter of particles deceases with increasing dilution times.Gel permeation chromatography proves that the relative molecular mass of macromolecule in a referenced sol solution is 1220-1240 amu.A simulation model was proposed to study the siloxane structure.Fourier transform infrared spectra of solution and film prove the disappearing of epoxy bond.The results of solid-state 13C and 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance experiments indicate the formation of Si-O-Si network.Potentiodynamic analysis shows that the self-assembled coating has excellent corrosion resistance.Salt fog tests prove that 2-methyl piperidine as inhibitor significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the self-assembled coating.

Morphologies of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles adjusted by organic additives in hydrothermal synthesis

Properties of hydroxyapatite （HA, Ca10（PO4）6（OH）2）, including bioactivity, biocompatibility, solubility and adsorption could be tailored over wide ranges by the control of particle composition, particle size and morphology. In order to satisfy various applications, well-crystallized pure HA nanoparticles were synthesized at moderate temperatures by hydrotherrnal synthesis, and HA nanoparticles with different lengths were obtained by adding organic additives. X-ray diffractometry （XRD） and Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectrometry were used to characterize these nanoparticles, and the morphologies of the HA particles were observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results demonstrate that shorter rod-like HA particles can be prepared by adding cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB）, as the additive of CTAB can block the HA crystal growth along with c-axis. And whisker HA particles are obtained by adding ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid （EDTA）, since EDTA may have effect on the dissolution-repreeipitation process of HA.

Properties of Aroma Sustained-release Cotton Fabric with Rose Fragrance Nanocapsule

The aroma sustained-release cotton fabric was prepared by finishing rose fragrance nanocapsules directly on cotton.The structure and properties of nanocapsules were demonstrated by transmission electron microscope(TEM),dynamic light scattering(DLS),fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR),X-ray diffraction (XRD),gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)and electronic nose.The results showed that the spherical nanocapsule dispersed evenly and the average diameter kept 51.4 nm.The existence of COO peak(1741 cm? 1)in the FTIR curve of the finished cotton fabric and the decrease of crystallinity demonstrated that rose fragrance nanocapsules have been incorporated into the cotton fabrics.The washing resistance of the cotton fabrics finished by 51.4 nm nanocapsules was much better than that by rose fragrance alone.Besides,the loss of fragrance from the cotton fabrics finished by 51.4 nm nanocapsules was obviously lower than that by 532 nm nanocapsules and rose fragrance.The smaller the nanocapsule size,the better the sustained release property.Electronic nose analysis also displayed that the aroma released from the cotton fabrics finished by nanocapsules after washing has no obvious variety in contrast to that without washing.The cotton fabrics finished by nanocapsules has the excellent sustained release property.

Spectral Theorem of Many-Body Green's Functions When Complex Eigenvalues Appear

In this paper, an extended spectral theorem is given, which enables one to calculate the correlation functions when complex eigenvalues appear. To do so, a Fourier transformation with a complex argument is utilized. We treat all the Matsbara frequencies, including Fermionic and Bosonic frequencies, on an equal footing. It is pointed out that when complex eigenvalues appear, the dissipation of a system cannot simply be ascribed to the pure imaginary part of the Green function. Therefore, the use of the name fluctuation-dissipation theorem should be careful.

Cubic imidazolate frameworks-derived CoFe alloy nanoparticles-embedded N-doped graphitic carbon for discharging reaction of Zn-air battery

The construction of transition metal-based catalysts with high activity and stability has been widely regarded as a promising method to replace the precious metal Pt for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Herein,we synthesized CoFe alloy nanoparticle-embedded N-doped graphitic carbon(CoFe/NC)nanostructures as ORR electrocatalysts.The ZIF-67(zeolitic imidazolate framework,ZIF)nanocubes were first synthesized,followed by an introduction of Fe2+ions to form CoFe-ZIF precursors via a simple ion-exchange route.Subsequently,the CoFe/NC composites were synthesized through a facile pyrolysis strategy.The ORR activity and the contents of cobalt and iron could be effectively adjusted by controlling the solution concentration of Fe2+ions used for the ion exchange and the pyrolysis temperature.The CoFe/NC-0.2-900 composite(synthesized with 0.2 mmol of FeSO4·7H2O at a pyrolysis temperature of 900℃)exhibited ORR activity that was superior to the other samples owing to a synergistic effect of the bimetal,especially considering the extremely high limiting current density of 6.4 mA cm^-2 compared with that of Pt/C(5.1 mA cm^-2).Rechargeable Zn-air batteries were assembled employing CoFe/NC-0.2-900 and NiFeP/NF(NiFeP supported on nickel foam(NF))as the catalysts for the discharging and charging processes,respectively,The above materials achieved reduced discharging and charging platforms,high power density,and prolonged cycling stability compared with conventional Pt/C+RuO2/C catalysts.

Temperature-controlled fabrication of Co-Fe-based nanoframes for efficient oxygen evolution

Transition metal phosphides(TMPs)have emerged as promising electrocatalysts to enhance the slow kinetic process of oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Framelike hollow nanostructures(nanoframes,NFs)provide the open structure with more accessible active sites and sufficient channels into the interior volume.Here,we report the fabrication of bimetallic Co-Fe phosphide NFs(Co-Fe-P NFs)via an intriguing temperature-controlled strategy for the preparation of precursors followed by phosphidation.The precursors,Co-Fe Prussian blue analogues(Co-Fe PBAs)are prepared by a precipitation method with Co^(2+)and[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3−),which experience a structural conversion from nanocubes to NFs by increasing the aging temperature from 5 to 35℃.The experimental results indicate that this conversion is attributable to the preferentially epitaxial growth on the edges and corners of nanocubes,triggered by intramolecular electron transfer at an elevated aging temperature.The as-prepared Co-Fe-P NFs catalyst shows remarkable catalytic activity toward OER with a low overpotential of 276 mV to obtain a current density of 10 mA cm^(−2),which is superior to the reference samples(Co-Fe-P nanocubes)and most of the recently reported TMPs-based electrocatalysts.The synthetic strategy can be extended to fabricate Co-Fe dichalcogenide NFs,thereby holding a great promise for the broad applications in energy storage and conversion systems.

Negative supracrystals inducing a FCC-BCC transition in gold nanocrystal superlattices

The growth of nanocrystal superlattices of 5 nm single domain Au nanocrystals at an air-toluene interface induces formation of well-defined thin films （300--400 nm） with large coherence lengths. High-resolution electron microscopy showed that polyhedral holes （negative supracrystal） were formed on the nanocrystal superlattice surface. Formation of negative supracrystals is attributed to inclusion in the superlattice of organic molecules （dodecanethiol）, which are present in concentrated zones at the air-toluene interface. The coexistence of two supracrystalline structures （bcc/fcc） is attributed to diffusion of dodecanethiol molecules resulting in a Bain deformation of the nanocrystal array.

Development of an ultrahard nanotwinned cBN micro tool for cutting hardened steel

Binderless nanotwinned cubic boron nitride(nt-cBN) synthesized from onion-structured BN precursors under high pressure and high temperature shows a very fine microstructure consisting of densely lamellar nanotwins(average thickness of 4 nm) within nanograins. The unique nanotwinned microstructure offers high hardness, wear resistance, fracture toughness, and thermal stability which are essential for advanced cBN tool materials. Thus, a circular micro tool of nt-cBN was fabricated using femtosecond laser contour machining followed by focused ion beam precision milling. Thereafter turning tests were performed on hardened steel using the studied micro tool. To evaluate the cutting performance, the machined surface quality and subsurface damage of the hardened steel were characterized. The wear mechanism of the nt-cBN micro tool was also investigated. It is found that the fabricated nt-cBN micro tool can generate high quality surface with surface roughness less than 7 nm and nanograin subsurface of about 500 nm deep. In addition, abrasive wear is found to be the dominant wear mechanism of the nt-cBN micro tool in turning hardened steel. These results indicate that nt-cBN has outstanding potential for ultra-precision cutting hardened steel.

Low-field-induced spin-glass behavior and controllable anisotropy in nanoparticle assemblies at a liquid-air interface

Stacking nanoscale-building blocks into onedimensional(1D)assemblies with collective physical properties is a frontier in designing materials.However,the formation of 1D arrays using weak magnetic fields and an in-depth understanding of their magnetic properties remain challenging.Here,low-dimensional assemblies of iron oxide nanocubes with a disordered arrangement are fabricated at the diethylene-glycol/air interface in the presence of assembly fields(0/1/3/5/30/50 mT).Ring-shaped assemblies gradually transform as the assembly field increases from 0 to 50 mT,first to a porous network consisting of elongated assemblies and then to an aligned array of filaments,in which the aligned filaments are formed when the assembly field is≥3 mT and duration t>14 min.Spin-glass characteristics and static(dynamic)anisotropy factors~2(3)are achieved by tuning the strength of the assembly field.In the presence of a relatively weak assembly field,the interplay between dipolar interactions and disorder with respect to magnetic easy axis alignment leads to spin-glass characteristics.The alignment of the magnetic easy axes and the strength of the dipolar interactions increase with increasing assembly field,resulting in the disappearance of spin-glass characteristics and enhancement of the magnetic anisotropy.This study presents a strategy for obtaining magnetic assemblies with spin-glass behavior and controllable anisotropy while shedding light on the magnetic interactions of low-dimensional assemblies.

Polyacrylic acid sodium salt film entrapped Ag-nanocubes as molecule traps for SERS detection

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy （SERS） is a fast analytical technique for trace chemicals; however, it requires the active SERS-substrates to adsorb analytes, thus limiting target species to those with the desired affinity for substrates. Here we present networked polyacrylic acid sodium salt （PAAS） film entrapped Ag-nanocubes （denoted as Ag-nanocubes@PAAS） as an effective SERS-substrate for analytes with and without high affinity. Once the analyte aqueous solution is cast on the dry Ag-nanocubes@PAAS substrate, the bibulous PAAS becomes swollen forcing the Ag-nanocubes loose, while the analytes diffuse in the interstices among the Ag-nanocubes. When dried, the PAAS shrinks and pulls the Ag-nanocubes back to their previous aggregated state, while the PAAS network ＂detains＂ the analytes in the small gaps between the Ag-nanocubes for SERS detection. The strategy has been proven effective for not only single- analytes but also multi-analytes without strong affinity for Ag, showing its potential in SERS-based simultaneous multi-analyte detection of both adsorbable and non-adsorbable pollutants in the environment.

Arginine-mediated synthesis of cube-like platinum nanoassemblies as efficient electrocatalysts

Controllable self-assembly of noble metal nanocrystals is of broad interest for the development of highly active electrocatalysts. Here we report an efficient arginine-mediated hydrothermal approach for the high-yield synthesis of cube-like Pt nanoassemblies （Pt-CNAs） with porous cavities and rough surfaces based on the self-assembly of zero dimensional Pt nanocrystals. In this process, arginine acts as the reductant, structure directing agent, and linker between adjacent nanocrystals. Interestingly, the Pt-CNAs exhibit single-crystal structures with dominant {100} facets, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction. Based on electrocatalytic studies, the as-synthesized Pt-CNAs exhibit improved electrocatalytic activity as well as good stability and CO tolerance in the methanol oxidation reaction. The Pt-CNA＇s good performance is attributed to their unique morphology and surface structure. We believe that the synthetic strategy outlined here could be extended to other rationally designed monometallic or bimetallic nanoassemblies for use in high performance fuel cells.

Structural investigations of a boron carbide nanorod with pseudo-fivefold twinned cross-section

In this article, a detailed investigation of the cross-section structure of a fivefold twinned boron carbide nanorod is presented. TEM observations reveal that the nanorod possesses a remarkable pseudo-fivefold twinned cross-section which consists of eight subcrystals packing around its fivefold axis. It is proposed that the negative angular mismatch of 5° for the unrelaxed boron carbide nanowires, which arises from the imperfectness of filling five twinned segments into a 360° solid space, is to be accommodated in one single subunit. The nanorod is found to be free from damage during sample preparation and it retains the intrinsic structural distortions of boron carbide nanowires.

Laser generation of iron-doped silver nanotruffles with magnetic and plasmonic properties

A frontier topic in nanotechnology is the realization of multifunctional nanoparticles （NPs） via the appropriate combination of different elements of the periodic table. The coexistence of Fe and Ag in the same nanostructure, for instance, is interesting for nanophotonics, nanomedicine, and catalysis. However, alloying of Fe and Ag is inhibited for thermodynamic reasons. Here, we describe the synthesis of Fe-doped Ag NPs via laser ablation in liquid solution, bypassing thermodynamics constraints. These NPs have an innovative structure consisting of a scaffold of face-centered cubic metal Ag alternating with disordered Ag-Fe alloy domains, all arranged in a truffle-like morphology. The Fe-Ag NPs exhibit the plasmonic properties of Ag and the magnetic response of Fe-containing phases, and the surface of the Fe-Ag NPs can be functionalized in one step with thiolated molecules. Taking advantage of the multiple properties of Fe-Ag NPs, the magnetophoretic amplification of plasmonic properties is demonstrated with proof-of-concept surface-enhanced Raman scattering and photothermal heating experiments. The synthetic approach is of general applicability and virtually permits the preparation of a large variety of multi-element NPs in one step.

Unitary fermions and Lscher's formula on a crystal

We consider the low-energy particle-particle scattering properties in a periodic simple cubic crystal. In particular, we investigate the relation between the two-body scattering length and the energy shift experienced by the lowest-lying unbound state when this is placed in a periodic finite box. We introduce a continuum model for s-wave contact interactions that respects the symmetry of the Brillouin zone in its regularisation and renormalisation procedures, and corresponds to the nae continuum limit of the Hubbard model. The energy shifts are found to be identical to those obtained in the usual spherically symmetric renormalisation scheme upon resolving an important subtlety regarding the cutoff procedure. We then particularize to the Hubbard model, and find that for large finite lattices the results are identical to those obtained in the continuum limit. The results reported here are valid in the weak,intermediate and unitary limits. These may be used to significantly ease the extraction of scattering information, and therefore effective interactions in condensed matter systems in realistic periodic potentials. This can achieved via exact diagonalisation or Monte Carlo methods, without the need to solve challenging, genuine multichannel collisional problems with very restricted symmetry simplifications.
