The calculations were performed within the effective mass approximation, using the matrix diagonalization method and the compact density-matrix approach. The linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients between the ground (L =0) and the first excited state (L = 1) have been examined based on the computed energies and wave functions. We find that the linear, nonlinear third-order, and total optical absorption coefficients are strongly affected by the confinement strength of QDs, the external magnetic field, and the incident optical intensity.展开更多
We studied the hydrogenation of 2‐ethylanthraquinone(eAQ) over Pd/SiO2/COR(COR = cordierite) monometallic and Pd‐M/SiO2/COR(M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) bimetallic monolithic catalysts, which were prepared by the c...We studied the hydrogenation of 2‐ethylanthraquinone(eAQ) over Pd/SiO2/COR(COR = cordierite) monometallic and Pd‐M/SiO2/COR(M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) bimetallic monolithic catalysts, which were prepared by the co‐impregnation method. Detailed investigations showed that the particle sizes and structures of the Pd‐M(M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) bimetallic monolithic catalysts were great‐ly affected by the second metal M and the mass ratio of Pd to the second metal M. By virtue of the small particle size and the strong interaction between Pd and Ni of Pd‐Ni alloy, Pd‐Ni bimetallic monolithic catalysts with the mass ratio of Pd/Ni = 2 achieved the highest H2O2 yield(7.5 g/L) and selectivity(95.3%). Moreover, density functional theory calculations were performed for eAQ ad‐sorption to gain a better mechanistic understanding of the molecule‐surface interactions between eAQ and the Pd(1 1 1) or PdM(1 1 1)(M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) surfaces. It was found that the high activity of the bimetallic Pd‐Ni catalyst was a result of strong chemisorption between Pd3Ni1(1 1 1) and the carbonyl group of eAQ.展开更多

The proposed ISMC algorithm applied improved self-adaptive crossover and mutation formulae that can provide appropriate crossover operator and mutation operator based on different functions of the objects and the number of iterations. The performance of ISMC was tested by the benchmark functions. The simulation results for residue hydrogenating kinetics model parameter estimation show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional intelligent algorithms in terms of convergence accuracy and stability in solving the complex parameter optimization problems.展开更多

Energy levels are presented for the ten excited states, 2so, 3d'0, 3po, 3p-1, 3d_1, 4d-1, 3d-2, 4d-2, 4f-2 , and 5f-2 as a function of magnetic field strengths with a range from zero up to 2.35 × 10^6 T. The obtained results are compared with available high accuracy theoretical data reported in the literature and found to be in excellent agreement. The comparison also shows that the current method can produce energy levels with an accuracy higher than the existing high accuracy method [Phys. Rev. A 54 (1996) 287]. Here high accuracy energy levels are for the first time reported for the 3d'0, 4d-1, 4d-2, 4f-2, and 5f-2 states.展开更多

The optimal unit cell parameters and the distance of N-H are determined, which are in good agreement with the experimental data. The bulk modules and the energies of zero pressure are obtained by using Murnaghan equation of states. The results show that the α-Li2Mg(NH)2 is a ground state configuration. The overlap population analysis shows that the N-Li/Mg ionic characteristics and N-H interaction of αphase are weaker than those of βphase. The valence band is dominated by the presence of N s and p states, hybridized with the H s state.展开更多

Based on Debye theories of solid thermal capacity, the vibrational entropy, as well as electronic entropy, is acquired by quantum mechanics and statistic thermodynamics methods, and a new approach is presented to calculate the standard entropy of formation of TiH2. The values of standard enthalpy of formation of TiHx decrease linearly with increase of x. The calculated results of standard enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of formation of TiH2 at 298.16 K are -142.39 kJ/mol, -143.0 J/(mol·K) and -99.75 kJ/mol, respectively, which is consistent with the previously-reported data obtained by either experimental or theoretical calculation methods. The results show that the thermodynamic model for titanium hydride is reasonable.展开更多

On the basis of first-principles calculation, here, we report a new series of 1D ultrathin molybdenum sulfides nanowires, including Mo2S6、Mo3S6 and Mo6S10 nanowires. Our results demonstrate that these ultrathin nanowires are both thermal and lattices dynamically stable, confirmed with the calculated phonon spectrum and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamic simulation at the temperature up to 600 K. The calculated elastic constant is 21.33, 103.22, and 163.00 eV/■ for Mo2S6, Mo3S6, and Mo6S10 nanowires, respectively. Mo2S6 and Mo3S6 nanowires are semiconductors with band gap of 1.55 and 0.46 eV, while Mo6S10 nanowires is metal, implying their potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. In particular, ultrathin molybdenum sulfides nanowires can be used as catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction. The calculated Gibbs free energy change for hydrogen evolution is about -0.05 eV for Mo2S6 nanowire, comparable with those of Pt and H-MoS2. The prediction of these 1D molybdenum sulfides nanowires may enrich the 1D family molybdenum sulfides and make a supplement to understand the high performance of hydrogen evolution reaction in transition-metal dichalcogenides.展开更多

Pure water, NaOH solution and MDEA were adopted as the absorbents. The performance of the two kinds of membranes for separation of SO2 was evaluated in terms of the concentration of absorbent solution, the concentration of SO2, and the feed flow rate. The efficiency for removal of SO2 increased with an increasing absorbent concentration. Upon increasing the concentration of SO2 and the feed flow rate, the desulfurization efficiency was decreased.展开更多
