A ferroelectric Sr0.7Ba0.3Nb2O6 (SBN‐70) semiconductor with a low ferro‐paraelectric phase transition (65℃) was studied. The photocatalytic activity for H2 production by ferroelectric and paraelectric SBN‐70 was examined. The spontaneous polarization in the ferroelectric phase strongly affected the photocata‐lytic performance and parallel ferroelectric domains significantly promoted photogenerated charge separation to result in better photocatalytic H2 production. This knowledge provides an important basis for the fabrication of ferroelectric photocatalysts with improved charge separation ability.展开更多

It is shown that in the intermediate coupling regime, conductance and magnetization could display universal fluctuations. In particular, new anomalous Coulomb oscillations assisted by the multi-Kondo peaks are predicted theoretically.展开更多

The effects of Al3+ contents on the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties were investigated. Single phase cubic spinel structure was revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystallite size was evaluated considering the most intense diffraction peak (311) using Scherrer formula. Lattice constant decreased, whereas porosity increased with the increase in Al3+ concentration. The value of saturation magnetization decreased with increasing aluminum contents. Temperature dependent value of direct current electrical resistivity has been determined. It is observed that the substitution of Al3+ has significant impact on the dielectric constant, tangent of dielectric loss angle and dielectric loss factor. The variation in dielectric properties was attributed to space charge polarization.展开更多

When the weak, shortranged disorder scattering is considered in the Born approximation, we find that the self-energy becomes diagonal in the helicity basis and its value is independent of the wave number, and the vertex correction to the anomalous Hall conductivity due to impurity scattering vanishes when both subbands are occupied. That is to say, the anomalous Hall effect is not vanishing or influenced by the vertex correction for two-dimensional heavy-hole system, which is in sharp contrast to the case of linear-Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the electron band when the short-range disorder scattering is considered and the extrinsic mechanism as well as the effect of external electric field on the SO interaction are ignored.展开更多

Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were divided randomly into four groups: a control group (n=15), an SM group (n=15), a myocardial infarction (MI) group (n=15), and an MI+SM group (n=15). Chronic MI was obtained by ligating the left anterior descending branch (LAD) of rat hearts for eight weeks. The in vivo blockade of stretch-activated ion channels (SACs) was achieved by intramuscular injection of SM (180 mg/(kg·d)) for seven days after operation. The hearts were stretched for 5 s by occlusion of the aortic arch. Suction electrodes were placed on the anterior wall of left ventricle to record the monophasic action potential (MAP). The effect of stretching was examined by assessing the 90% monophasic action potential duration (MAPD90), premature ventricular beats (PVBs), and ventricular tachycardia (VT). Results: The MAPD90 decreased during stretching in both the control (from (50.27±5.61) ms to (46.27±4.51) ms, P〈0.05) and MI groups (from (65.47±6.38) ms to (57.47±5.76 ms), P〈0.01 ). SM inhibited the decrease in MAPD90 during inflation ((46.27±4.51) ms vs. (49.53±3.52) ms, P〈0.05 in normal hearts; (57.47±5.76) ms vs. (61.87±5.33) ms, P〈0.05 in MI hearts). The occurrence of PVBs and VT in the MI group increased compared with that in the control group (PVB: 7.93±1.66 vs. 1.80±0.86, P〈0.01; VT: 7 vs. 1, P〈0.05). SM decreased the occurrence of PVBs in both normal and MI hearts (0.93±0.59 vs. 1.80±0.86 in normal hearts, P〈0.05; 5.40±1.18 vs. 7.93±1.66 in MI hearts, P〈0.01). Conclusions: Stretch-induced MAPD90 changes and arrhythmias were observed in chronically infarcted myocardium. The use of SM in vivo decreased the incidence of PVBs but not of VT. This suggests that SACs may be involved in mechanoelectric feedback (MEF), but that there might be other mechanisms involved in causing VT in chronic MI.展开更多

By controlling the slow reaction rate and choosing appropriate mobile phase, HPLC provides the unique advantages over other methods (UV-Vis, chemical separation) in species tracking and kinetic study. In addition to thiourea and formamidine sulfinic acid, two unreported products were also detected in the hy- drolysis reaction. Mass spectrometry measurement indicates these two products to be formamidine sulfenic acid and thiocyan- ogen with mass weights of 92.28 and 116,36, respectively. In the oxidation of formamidine disulfide by hydrogen peroxide, besides thiourea, formamidine sulfenic acid, formamidine sulfinic acid, thiocyanogen and urea, formamidine sulfonic acid and sulfate could be detected. The oxidation reaction was found to be first order in both forrnamidine disulfide and hydrogen per- oxide. The rate constants of hydrolysis and oxidation reactions were determined in the pH range of 1.5-3.0. It was found both rate constants are increased with the increasing of pH. Experimental curves of different species can be effectively simulated via a mechanism scheme for formamidine disulfide oxidation, including hydrolysis equilibrium of formamidine disulfide and irre- versible hydrolysis of formamidine sulfenic acid.展开更多
