heterostructures: Examination of spin relaxation mechanism
摘要： The thickness, temperature, and composition studies of spin diffusion length (SDL) and spin Hall angle (SHA) are performed by measuring the spin Hall magnetoresistance in Pd1?xPtx/Y3Fe5O12 (=YIG) heterostructures. The SDL is found to be invariant to changes in the electron momentum relaxation time by varying the temperature, the normal metal (NM) thickness, or the alloy composition, while the SHA exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence on temperature. These findings suggest the appearance of D’yakonov-Perel’ spin relaxation mechanism and phonon skew scattering in our heterostructures that is associated with strong interfacial Rashba spin-orbit coupling (IRSOC). At last, we employ the ab initio calculations to quantify the IRSOC at the inversion-symmetry-broken NM/YIG interface.

WS <sub/>2</sub> /BSe van der Waals type-II heterostructure as a promising water splitting photocatalyst
摘要： The structure, electronic properties, charge transfer, band edge alignments and optical properties of WS2/BSe heterostructures are investigated by using first-principle calculations. Results imply that WS2/BSe heterostructures are semiconductor with an indirect energy gap (Egap) of 1.73 eV. Additionally, it has a feature of type-II band alignment, which contributes to spatial separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs in WS2/BSe heterostructures. Charge transfer takes place from BSe to WS2 monolayers, which extends lifetime of the separated photo-induced charge carriers. Most importantly, band edges of the heterostructure are found to meet hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acid solutions (0 < pH < 7). Moreover, compared with only one for WS2 and BSe monolayers, the optical-absorption strength of the heterostructure is significantly enhanced and WS2/BSe heterostructures larges the range of absorption to 717 nm in the visible light region, improving the potential photocatalytic efficiency. These results explain the underlying mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity of WS2/BSe heterostructures. Thus WS2/BSe heterostructures can be applied to 2D heterostructured photocatalysts.

A novel growth strategy of TiO<sub>2</sub> anodic films using surface residual stress as driving force
摘要： The relationship between residual stress and growth behavior of anodic titanium oxide films (TiO2) was investigated in terms of defect chemistry and the nanocrystalline materials thermodynamic. The results showed that the surface residual stress can be controlled by acting on the duration of the surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). When samples are processed by grinding for 30 min, the residual stress value reaches a maximum of 73.13 MPa, approximately 7.2 times higher than the one obtained with untreated sample. Under these conditions, the thickness of the anodic film was about 1200 nm, three times that of the TA2 anodic film. Furthermore, the results of electrochemical tests showed that following the surface mechanical attrition treatment, the anodic film show lower density vacancies, higher resistance to the diffusion of Cl-, higher density, and an improved corrosion resistance when compared to TA2. Generally speaking, the growth behavior of the anodic film can be improved by identifying the suitable residual stress.

Facile assembly of g-C3N4/Ag2CO3/graphene oxide with a novel dual Z-scheme system for enhanced photocatalytic pollutant degradation
摘要： In this study, ternary catalyst g-C3N4/Ag2CO3/graphene oxide was synthesized through a simple chemical precipitation method at room temperature. The CN/AC/GO composite was employed to degrade antibiotics under visible light irradiation. And the results indicated that the composite possessed excellent photocatalytic performance, which could remove 81.6% tetracycline (TC) after 60 min of irradiation. The PL, EIS, PC and UV–vis DRS tests demonstrated that enhanced photocatalytic e?ciency could be attributed to rapid charge transfer, low recombination rate of photo-induced electron-hole pairs, as well as superior light absorption capability. Moreover, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix ?uorescence spectra (3D EEMs) were employed to further grasp the behaviors of TC molecules in the process of degradation reaction. In addition, the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was carried out to explore the intermediates during the photocatalytic reaction. Meanwhile, the in?uences of initial TC concentration, light source, supporting electrolytes and water sources were explored from the perspective of practical application. Furthermore, the appearance of a small amount of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) not only accelerated the charge transfer, but also improved the stability of catalyst. The composite also possessed high stability and reusability, which were essential in practical application.

Design of a distributed compliant mechanism using spring-lever model and topology optimization for piezoelectrically actuated flapping wings
摘要： We present a distributed compliant mechanism, which acts like a transmission between a flapping wing of a micro air vehicle and a laminated piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric bimorph actuator is connected in cantilever configuration with the compliant mechanism at its free end. The mechanism takes translational deflection at its input from the piezoelectric actuator to provide angular deflection at its output, which causes flapping. We used spring-lever model and topology optimization to obtain the design of the mechanism. The design of the mechanism has been finalized by analyzing the design considering beam model with geometric nonlinearity. The final mechanism is a planar structure of 1 mm thickness and 40 mm × 24 mm in-plane footprint. The input stiffness of the compliant mechanism is 711 N/m and the output torsional stiffness is 0.014 Nm/rad. The compliant mechanism is tested with a piezoelectric bimorph actuator. The mechanism takes ±1 mm deflection with ±0.2 N block force at 30 Hz as an input and produces ±6° flap angle at 30 Hz as an output. The first fundamental frequency of the mechanism is 391 Hz, which is almost 13 times greater than our assumed wing flapping frequency 30 Hz. The final mechanism is prototyped with a 3D printer using VeroWhitePlus RGD835 material and tested with a piezoelectric bimorph actuator using a bench-top experimental set-up.

Morphology Controllable Synthesis of Hierarchical WO3 Nanostructures and C2H2 Sensing Properties
摘要： In this paper, we reported the morphology controllable synthesis of hierarchical WO3 nanostructures, i.e. nanorods, nanospheres and nanoflowers, via a facile hydrothermal route. All the obtained WO3 nanostructures were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), respectively. A possible growth mechanism for the three various nanomaterials was proposed in detail. WO3 based gas sensors were fabricated with the synthesized nanomaterials and the gas sensing performances to acetylene (C2H2), one of the fault characteristic gases dissolved in power transformer oil, were systematically measured. It was found that the sensor based on nanosheet-assembled nanoflowers with largest surface (56.74 m2g-1) exhibits the highest sensing performance including gas response (32.31) and response-recovery time (12 s, 17 s) to 200 ppm C2H2. The results indicate that WO3 sensing materials could be a promising choice for synthesizing high-performance C2H2 sensors for the judgement of the early latent faults of the oil immersed transformer.

Thermal atomic layer etching: Mechanism, materials and prospects
摘要： In the semiconductors and related industries, the fabrication of nanostructures and nanopatterns has become progressive demand for achieving near-atomic accuracy and selectivity in etching different materials, particularly in ultra-thin gate dielectrics and ultra-thin channels used in field-effect transistors and other nanodevices below 10 nm scale. Atomic layer etching (ALE) is a novel technique for removing thin layers of material using sequential and self-limiting reactions. Different from most ALE processes using plasma-enhanced or other energetic particles-enhanced surface reactions, thermal ALE realizes isotropic atomic-level etch control based on sequential thermal-drive reaction steps that are self-terminating and self-saturating. Thermal ALE can be viewed as the reverse of atomic layer deposition (ALD), both of which define the atomic layer removal and growth steps required for advanced semiconductor fabrication. In this review, we focus on the concept and basic characteristics of the thermal ALE in comparison with ALD. Several typical thermal ALE mechanisms including fluorination and ligand-exchange, conversion-etch, oxidation and fluorination reactions are intensively introduced. The pros and cons of thermal ALE, plasma ALE, and traditional plasma etching are compared. Some representative materials and their typical thermal ALE processes are summarized. Finally, the outlook and challenges of thermal ALE are addressed.

Fast Splitting Based Tag Identification Algorithm For Anti-collision in UHF RFID System
摘要： Efficient and effective objects identification using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is always a challenge in large scale industrial and commercial applications. Among existing solutions, the tree based splitting scheme has attracted increasing attention because of its high extendibility and feasibility. However, conventional tree splitting algorithms can only solve tag collision with counter value equals to zero and usually result in performance degradation when the number of tags is large. To overcome such drawbacks, we propose a novel tree-based method called Fast Splitting Algorithm based on Consecutive Slot Status detection (FSA-CSS), which includes a fast splitting (FS) mechanism and a shrink mechanism. Specifically, the FS mechanism is used to reduce collisions by increasing commands when the number of consecutive collision is above a threshold. Whereas the shrink mechanism is used to reduce extra idle slots introduced by FS. Simulation results supplemented by prototyping tests show that the proposed FSA-CSS achieves a system throughput of 0.41, outperforming the existing UHF RFID solutions.

Catalytic synthesis of SiC nanowires in an open system
摘要： SiC nanowires (NWs) are usually synthesized in a closed vacuum reaction system which limits the yield of SiC NWs. In this work, SiC NWs and carbon nanotubes were synthesized in an open tube furnace at 1550 ℃ with Si powder as silicon sources, ethanol as carbon sources and ferrocene as catalyst. The as-synthesized products were ultralong β-SiC NWs with the diameter about 80-100 nm and the length up to several tens micrometers. The diameter of the carbon nanotubes was about 20-30 nm. The carbon nanotube yarns about 20 cm in length were obtained at the end of the tube furnace. The growth mechanism of SiC NWs and carbon nanotubes were proposed. Compared with the traditional synthetic techniques in the high vacuum closed system, the novel synthesis method in the open system provided a new approach to the synthesis of SiC NWs.

Complexation of the Mycotoxin Cyclopiazonic Acid with Lanthanides Yields Luminescent Products
摘要： Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is a neurotoxin that acts through inhibition of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA). CPA blocks the calcium access channel of the enzyme. The inhibition may involve the binding of CPA with a divalent cation such as Mg2+. The potential for CPA to act as a chelator also has implications for methods to detect this toxin. Certain of the lanthanide metals undergo a dramatic increase in luminescence upon coordination with small molecules that can transfer excitation energy to the metal. This report is the first to describe the coordination of CPA with lanthanide metals, resulting in a substantial enhancement of their luminescence. The luminescence expressed was dependent upon the type of lanthanide, its concentration, and the environment (solvent, water content, pH). Based upon the phenomenon, a competitive assay was also developed wherein terbium (Tb3+) and a series of metal cations competed for binding with CPA. With increasing cation concentration, the luminescence of the CPA/Tb3+ complex was inhibited. The chlorides of ten metals were tested. Inhibition was best with Cu2+, followed by Co2+, Al3+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Au3+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. Two cations in oxidation state one (Na+, K+) did not inhibit the interaction significantly. The interaction of CPA with lanthanides provides a novel recognition assay for this toxin. It also provides a novel way to probe the binding of CPA to metals, giving insights into CPA's mechanism of action.
