The ground and excited state geometries have been fully optimized at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ and UB3LYP/LanL2DZ levels, respectively. The absorption and emission spectra of the com- plexes in CHaCN solutions were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory with the PCM solvent model. The calculated bond lengths of Ru-C, Ru-N, and Ru-Cl in the ground state agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The highest occupied molecular orbital were dominantly localized on the Ru atom and monodentate X ligand for 1 and 2, Ru atom and terpy ligand for a, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital were π*(terpy) type orbital. Therefore, the lowest-energy absorptions of 1 and 2 at 688 and 631 nln are attributed to a dyz (Ru)+Tr/p(X)--π* (terpy) transition with MLCT/XLCT (metal-to-ligand charge transfer/X ligand to terpy ligand charge transfer) character, whereas that of 3 at 529 nm is related to a dyz (Ru)+π(terpy)-π* (terpy) transition with MLCT and ILCT transition character. The calculated phosphorescence of three complexes at 1011 nm (1), 913 nm (2), and 838 nm (3) have similar transition properties to that of the lowest-lying absorption. It is shown that the lowest lying absorptions and emissions transition character of these Ru(II) complexes can be tuned by changing the electron-withdrawing ability of the monodentate ligand.展开更多

In order to investigate the amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States, we introduce the algebraic properties of the PB phase operator and the PB Phase Coherent States which are constructed by PB phase theory. We applied amplitude-Nth-power squeezing theory to define the Amplitude-Nth-Power Squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States and investigate the characteristic of the amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of PB Phase Coherent States. We obtained surprising results, in that the results were different from the other quantum states. As for |Z〉(PB Phase Coherent State), the results show that when Z is a real number there only exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component; when Z is a complex number, there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component and component; when Z is a pure imaginary number, if N is odd, then there does not exist amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component, but there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component and if N is even, then there exists amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component, but there does not exist amplitude-Nth-power squeezing of component.展开更多

The electrical and optical properties of these two types of samples were measured. For n-type modified graphene, the electrons were transferred from quantum dots to graphene. The resistance of these quantum dots in modified n-type graphene is significantly smaller than that of pristine graphene. For p-type graphene, modified by electron-acceptor organic molecules of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), electrons were transferred from graphene to TCNE molecules. The resistance of this molecular modified p-type graphene is about 10% larger than that of pristine graphene. The charge transfer effect on the optical properties of graphene was investigated with Raman spectra.展开更多

After N doping, the band gap decreases, shallow acceptor impurity levels are introduced over the top of the valence band and the absorption band edge is slightly red-shifted compared to that of the intrinsic one. The anisotropic optical properties are investigated by means of the complex dielectric function, which are explained by the selection rule of the band-to-band transitions. All calculation results indicate that N-doping is a very promising method to get P-type β-Ga2O3.展开更多

Based on a specially designed electrolyte, porous silicon(PSi) layers with different porosities are possible to be produced on highly-doped n-type silicon substrate by varying the applied current density which determines the size and the morphology of pores. By applying an alternative current density modulation during anodization, porous silicon photonic crystals are obtained using HF-containing electrolyte without oxidizing components. The current burst model(CBM) is employed to interpret the mechanism of the formation of the macropore porous silicon.展开更多

Three terrestrial humic-like components (C1, C2 and C3) and one protein-like component (C4) were identified. Based on spatial dis- tributions, as well as relationships with salinity, the following assignments were made. The three humic-like components (CI, C2 and C3) showed conservative mixing behavior and came mainly from riverine input. The protein-like component (C4) was considered a combination of autochthonous production and terrestrial inputs and a biologically labile component. Path analysis of samples from the middle and bottom layers revealed that the causal effects on C1 were -78.46% for salinity, and -21.54% for apparent oxygen utilization (AOU); those on C2 were -76.43% for salinity, and -23.57% for AOU; those on C3 were -70.49% for salinity, 7.01% for Chl-a, and -22.50% for AOU; those on C4 were -55.54% for salinity, 14.6% for Chl-a, and -29.86% for AOU in middle layer; and those on C4 were -57.37% for salinity, 29.02% for Chl-a, and -13.61% for AOU in bottom layer. Results indicated that CDOM in tile East China Sea was mainly affected by terrestrial inputs, and microbial ac- tivities also played a key role in biogeochemical processes of CDOM. The application of the EEM-PARAFAC model present- ed a unique opportunity to observe compositional changes in CDOM in the East China Sea. In addition, the humification index (HIX) suggested that CDOM from the East China Sea was less stable and stayed shorter in the environment.展开更多
