Competing photochemical reactions of bis-naphthols and their photoinduced antiproliferative activity
摘要： Photophysical properties and photochemical reactivity for a series of bis-naphthols 4a-4e and bis-anthrols 5a and 5e were investigated by preparative irradiations in CH3OH, fluorescence spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis (LFP). Methanolysis taking place via photodehydration (bis-naphthols ΦR = 0.04-0.05) is in competition with symmetry breaking charge separation (SB-CS). The SB-CS gives rise to radical ions that were for 4a and 4e detected by LFP. Photodehydration gives quinone methides (QMs) that were also detected by LFP (λmax = 350 nm, τ ≈ 1-2 ms). In the aqueous solvent, excited state proton transfer (ESPT) competes with the above mentioned processes, giving rise to naphtholates, but the process is inefficient and can only be observed in the buffered aqueous solution at pH >7. Since the dehydration of bis-naphthols delivers QMs, their potential antiproliferative activity was investigated by MTT test on three human cancer cell lines (NCI-H1299, lung carcinoma; MCF-7, breast adenocarcinoma; and SUM159, pleomorphic breast carcinoma). Cells were treated with 4 or 5 with or without irradiation (350 nm). An enhancement of the activity (up to 10-fold) was observed upon irradiation, which may be associated to the QM formation. However, these QMs do not cross-link DNA. The activity is most likely associated to the alkylation of proteins present in the cell cytoplasm, as evidenced by photoinduced alkylation of bovine and human serum albumins by 4a.

A feasibility study of the time reversal violation test based on polarization of annihilation photons from the decay of ortho-Positronium with the J-PET detector
摘要： The Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) is a novel device being developed at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland based on organic scintillators. J-PET is an axially symmetric and high acceptance scanner that can be used as a multi-purpose detector system. It is well suited to pursue tests of discrete symmetries in decays of positronium in addition to medical imaging. J-PET enables the measurement of both momenta and the polarization vectors of annihilation photons. The latter is a unique feature of the J-PET detector which allows the study of time reversal symmetry violation operator which can be constructed solely from the annihilation photons momenta before and after the scattering in the detector.

Exact optical solitons in metamaterials with anti-cubic law of nonlinearity by Lie group method
摘要： In this paper, using Lie point symmetry analysis, we study the dynamics of the solitons for the nonlinear Schrodinger’s equation with anti-cubic nonlinearity. Some new doubly periodic solutions are obtained that degenerate to dark and bright soliton solutions. In our of best knowledge, the obtained solutions are new. Those obtained results have important applications in the understanding the nonlinear propagation theory of solitons in metamaterials.

High-order harmonic generation of pulses with multiple timescales: selection rules, carrier envelope phase and cutoff energy
摘要： High harmonic generation (HHG) is sensitive to the carrier envelope phase (CEP) of its driving laser field if it is a sufficiently short pulse (several-cycle pulse). Here we show that strong CEP effects can also be found in HHG from long duration multi-cycle pulses (up to 200 fs at 800 nm central wavelength). We find that HHG from multi-cycle pulses may be CEP dependent when the driving pulse exhibits two distinct timescales (multi-timescale pulse): (i) a short timescale associated with the average frequency, and (ii) a long timescale associated with the pulse’s temporal periodicity. The interplay of these timescales results in significant changes to both the cutoff frequency, and the appearance of symmetry allowed harmonics in the spectrum as function of CEP, similar to HHG from several-cycle pulses. We relate this effect to the multi-timescale intensity variations in the driving pulse, and construct an analytical condition to access the phenomenon. Lastly, we numerically demonstrate reconstruction of the CEP through HHG from long duration multi-timescale pulses. Our work may be useful in several areas of strong-field physics and attosecond science, for example, allowing spectroscopy of multi-timescale processes (e.g. HHG from vibrationally active media), and paving the way towards CEP characterisation using long pulses.

Current-Induced Torques with Dresselhaus Symmetry Due to Resistance Anisotropy in 2D Materials
摘要： We report measurements of current-induced torques in heterostructures of Permalloy (Py) with TaTe2, a transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material possessing low crystal symmetry, and observe a torque component with Dresselhaus symmetry. We suggest that the dominant mechanism for this Dresselhaus component is not a spin-orbit torque, but rather the Oersted field arising from a component of current that flows perpendicular to the applied voltage due to resistance anisotropy within the TaTe2. This type of transverse current is not present in wires made from a single uniform layer of a material with resistance anisotropy, but will result whenever a material with resistance anisotropy is integrated into a heterostructure with materials having different resistivities, thereby producing a spatially non-uniform pattern of current flow. This effect will therefore influence measurements in a wide variety of heterostructures incorporating 2D TMD materials and other materials with low crystal symmetries.

Highly Sensitive Polarization Photodetection Using a Pseudo-One-Dimensional Nb <sub/> (1– <i>x</i> ) </sub> Ti <sub/><i>x</i> </sub> S <sub/>3</sub> Alloy
摘要： Low-symmetry layered two-dimensional (2D) materials with strong in-plane optical anisotropy can potentially be applied for polarization photodetection. This is especially true for those 2D materials with a direct bandgap, who can efficiently absorb light with specific axial polarization. However, discovering such new anisotropic 2D materials with direct band structure is still extremely challenging. Here, we fabricate a photodetector using a pseudo-one-dimensional (pseudo-1D) Nb(1-x)TixS3 alloy device, and demonstrate that it is highly sensitive to the polarized light due to the strong in-plane optical anisotropy and direct bandgap of the alloy by combining the angle-resolved polarization Raman spectroscopy (ARPRS), azimuth-dependent reflectance difference microscopy (ADRDM), polarization-dependent absorption spectroscopy (PDAS), and hybrid functional theory calculations. As a consequence, the polarization photodetector of the Nb(1-x)TixS3 alloy shows a large photocurrent anisotropic ratio and a high photoresponse. The choice of low-symmetry layered pseudo-1D Nb(1-x)TixS3 alloy in polarization photodetection might open up new functionalities for novel optoelectronic device applications.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE International Power Electronics and Application Conference and Exposition (PEAC) - Shenzhen, China (2018.11.4-2018.11.7)] 2018 IEEE International Power Electronics and Application Conference and Exposition (PEAC) - Parity-time-symmetric Wireless Power Transfer System Using Switch-mode Nonlinear Gain Element
摘要： Parity-time (PT) symmetry, a concept ranging from quantum field theories and mathematical physics to classical optics, is generalized to a wireless power transfer (WPT) system in [7]. However, the already introduced system is based on an operational amplifier, limiting the power transfer efficiency of the whole system. In this paper, the concept of PT symmetry is generalized to a switch-mode WPT system. PT symmetry is achieved with a nonlinear gain element which is a single-phase bridge inverter, achieving robust wireless power transfer scheme. It is shown in simulation that the system could adjust the frequency within tens of switching period, providing attractive way of dynamic charging. The analysis of the whole system is based on coupled mode theory (CMT).

BaWO4:Ce Single Crystals Codoped with Na Ions
摘要： Single crystals of BaWO4, BaWO4: 0.5 at. % Ce; BaWO4: 1 at. % Ce; BaWO4: 0.5 at. % Ce, 1 at. % Na; and BaWO4: 1 at. % Ce, 2 at. % Na were grown from an inductively heated iridium crucible by the Czochralski method on a Malvern MSR4 puller. They were investigated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at helium temperatures. One isolated center of high (D2d or S4) symmetry was found and two or more other centers of lower symmetry were identified, depending on crystal doping. From the fitting using the EPR-NMR program, the following parameters of g-matrix for the high symmetry center were found: gx = 1.505, gy = 1.505, and gz = 2.731. The linewidth vs. temperature revealed an increasing exponential tendency with increasing temperature. It showed one phonon at the lower temperatures and a Raman + Orbach effect at the higher temperatures. Radioluminescence and pulse height spectra showed rather poor scintillation properties, without any contribution from cerium emission.

Investigation of local geometrical structure, electronic state and magnetic properties of PLD grown Ni doped SnO2 thin films
摘要： We have investigated the ferromagnetic behavior, electronic states and local geometrical structure of Ni (2 and 10 at %) doped SnO2 thin films. The films were successfully fabricated with the help of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on Si (100) substrate under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) condition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed the single phase character of SnO2 rutile lattice structure with P42/mnm space group. The inclusion of Ni ions into SnO2 matrix induced oxygen vacancy (Vo), enhanced the distortion in octahedral local symmetry and reduced the oxidation state of the host Sn4+ (SnO2) to Sn3+ (Sn2O3) these details have been estimated by Raman scattering, Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra at Ni L3,2 and O K edges. Further quantitative details on the local geometrical structure around Ni ions were obtained via fitting the experimental Fourier transforms EXAFS spectra |X(R)| with FEFF6 code. The magnetization measurements performed at room temperature (RT) infers that the observed magnetic behavior of the films seems to be relevant to the same crystal growth condition (UHV) and might not be limited directly to the Ni dopant concentrations. The FM signal and the role of surface defects have been discussed based spin-split impurity band difference in the saturation moments even with increase the Ni content. Hence, the similarity in Ni doped SnO2 films displayed ferromagnetic (FM) signal, and there was no significant Ferromagnetism etc. percolation mechanism.

Crystalline topological Dirac semimetal phase in rutile structure
摘要： Based on first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we propose that a transition-metal rutile oxide, in particular β-PtO2, can host a three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetal phase. We find that β-PtO2 possesses an inner nodal chain structure when spin-orbit coupling is neglected. Incorporating spin-orbit coupling gaps the nodal chain while preserving a single pair of three-dimensional Dirac points protected by a screw rotation symmetry. These Dirac points are created by a band inversion of two d bands, which is a realization of a Dirac semimetal phase in a correlated electron system. Moreover, a mirror plane in the momentum space carries a nontrivial mirror Chern number nM = -2, which distinguishes β-PtO2 from the Dirac semimetals known so far, such as Na3Bi and Cd3As2. If we apply a perturbation that breaks the rotation symmetry and preserves the mirror symmetry, the Dirac points are gapped, and the system becomes a topological crystalline insulator.
