Tuning the Functional Groups on Carbon Nanodots and Antioxidant Studies
摘要： Carbon nanodots (CNDs) have shown good antioxidant capabilities by scavenging oxidant free radicals such as diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH?) and reactive oxygen species. While some studies suggest that the antioxidation activities associate to the proton donor role of surface active groups like carboxyl groups (–COOH), it is unclear how exactly the extent of oxidant scavenging potential and its related mechanisms are influenced by functional groups on CNDs’ surfaces. In this work, carboxyl and the amino functional groups on CNDs’ surfaces are modified to investigate the individual influence of intermolecular interactions with DPPH? free radical by UV-Vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The results suggest that both the carboxyl and the amino groups contribute to the antioxidation activity of CNDs through either a direct or indirect hydrogen atom transfer reaction with DPPH?.

Low temperature fabrication of high quality gate insulator in metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor using laser annealing
摘要： This paper reports the fabrication of a high quality gate oxide for metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors using a continuous wave blue laser. A thin Zr metal layer was inserted between the dielectric and substrate to increase laser absorption and reduce the interface layer. A simulation of laser irradiation showed that metal layer insertion induces a significant increase in temperature during laser annealing compared to the dielectric without a metal layer. The laser annealed capacitor with a 1 nm-thick Zr metal layer showed superior electrical characteristics, such as high capacitance, low leakage current, low fixed charge density and low interface state density. Based on these results and the economic advantage of blue laser diodes, this technique can be a solution for low temperature processes, such as monolithic 3-dimensional integration, where low temperature processes are required.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue over TiO2 Pretreated with Varying Concentrations of NaOH
摘要： In this paper, different NaOH concentrations (2, 5, 10, and 15 M) were used to treat {001}TiO2. The effect of NaOH on the crystal structure, morphology, optical properties, light raw electronic-hole recombination, and degradation performance of {001}TiO2 on methylene blue were studied. The results demonstrate that rutile TiO2 appeared when the NaOH concentration was as high as 10 M, showing much better photolytic performance than others. As the concentration of sodium hydroxide increases, the morphology changes accordingly. The specific surface area increases and the optical electronic-hole recombination rate decreases. Radical scavenging tests showed that hydroxyl radical and hole are very important in photocatalysis.

Antioxidant Activity of Graphene Quantum Dots Prepared in Different Electrolyte Environments
摘要： Antioxidants can reduce or inhibit damage such as oxidative decay caused by elevated levels of free radicals. Therefore, pursuing antioxidants with excellent properties has attracted more and more attention. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are considered a promising material because of their good free radical scavenging activity, low toxicity, and excellent water solubility. However, their scavenging e?ciency, antioxidant mechanism, and e?ective control methods need to be improved. Herein, in order to further reveal the antioxidant mechanism of GQDs, the role of electrolytes in improving the antioxidant activity of GQDs is explored. In addition, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrazine (DPPH·), hydroxyl (·OH), and superoxide (·O2) free radicals are used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the as-prepared GQDs. Combined with transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and cyclic volt–ampere characteristic curves, the e?ects of an electrolytic environment on the surface functional groups, charge transfer capability, and defect states of GQDs are obtained. The antioxidant mechanism of GQDs and how to improve their antioxidant activity are further elucidated.

Quantification of source specific black carbon scavenging using an aethalometer and a disdrometer
摘要： Aerosol black carbon (BC) is the second strongest contributor to global warming, after CO2, and it is linked to many adverse health effects. A sampling campaign of 15 months was carried out in León (Spain) in order to evaluate the scavenging of BC with an ensemble aethalometer-disdrometer. The aethalometer provides the concentration of equivalent black carbon (eBC), and the disdrometer, the raindrop size distribution. A total of seventy-five rain events were studied and in 73% of them there was an effective (eBCinitial > eBCfinal) scavenging, with a mean decrease of 48 ± 37% in long rain events (>8 h) and 39 ± 38% in short rain events. The scavenging of BC is strongly related to its source. Thus, the scavenging coefficient (SC) mean value of the BC from fossil fuel (eBCff) for short and long rain events was 5.1 10-5 and 1.3 10-5 s-1, respectively. For the BC from biomass burning (eBCbb), the SC values were 1.6 10-4 and 2.8 10-5 s-1 in short and long events, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the SC and the number of drops with diameters between 0.375 and 2.5 mm. Rain scavenging of eBC was analyzed depending on the air mass origin obtaining an effective scavenging for air masses from Atlantic, Arctic and Africa. A linear model (R2=0.72) was built to estimate the ?eBC values with variables from an aethalometer, a disdrometer and a weather station: eBC concentration before rain, swept volume and precipitation accumulated. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test confirmed the goodness of fit of the model to the measured data.

[ASME ASME 2018 Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems - San Antonio, Texas, USA (Monday 10 September 2018)] Volume 1: Development and Characterization of Multifunctional Materials; Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Adaptive Systems; Integrated System Design and Implementation - Simulation of a Composite Piezoelectric and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Beam for Adaptive Stiffness Applications
摘要： Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) beams have shown over a 20% decrease in weight compared to more traditional materials without affecting system performance or fatigue life. These beams are being studied for use in automobile leaf-spring suspension systems to reduce the overall weight of the car therefore increasing fuel efficiency. These systems are subject to large amplitude mechanical vibrations at relatively constant frequencies, making them an ideal location for potential energy scavenging applications. This study analyses the effect on performance of GFRP beams by substituting various composite layers with piezoelectric fiber layers and the results on deflection and stiffness. Maximum deflection and stress in the beam is calculated for varying the piezoelectric fiber layer within the beam. Initial simulations of a simply supported multimorph beam were carried out in ABAQUS/CAE. The beam was designed with symmetric piezoelectric layers sandwiching a layer of S2-glass fiber reinforced polymer and modeled after traditional mono leaf-spring suspension designs with total dimensions 1480 x 72 x 37 mm3, with 27 mm camber. Both piezoelectric and GFRP layers had the same dimensions and initially were assumed to have non-directional bulk behavior. The loading of the beam was chosen to resemble loading of a leaf spring, corresponding to the stresses required to cycle the leaf at a stress ratio between R = 0.2 and 0.4, common values in heavy-duty suspension fatigue analysis. The maximum stresses accounted for are based on the monotonic load required to set the bottom leaf surface under tension. These results were then used in a fiber orientation optimization algorithm in Matlab. Analysis was conducted on a general stacking sequence [0°/45°]s, and stress distributions for cross ply [0°/90°]s, and angle ply [+45°/-45°]s were examined. Fiber orientation was optimized for both the glass fiber reinforced polymer layer to maximize stiffness, and the piezoelectric fiber layers to simultaneously minimize the effect on stiffness while minimizing deflection. Likewise, these fibers could be activated through the application of electric field to increase or decrease the stiffness of the beam. The optimal fiber orientation was then imported back into the ABAQUS/CAE model for a refined simulation taking into account the effects of fiber orientation on each layer.

Stability Indicating 1st Derivative Synchronous Spectrofluorimetric Method for the Determination of the Newly Approved Antiviral Drug Daclatasvir in Presence of Its Oxidative and Photolytic Degradation Products: Application to Tablet Dosage Form
摘要： A highly sensitive, simple and rapid first derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetric method was utilized for the determination of daclatasvir dihydrochloride (DCV) in presence of its oxidative and photolytic degradation products. Where synchronous 1st derivative spectrofluorimetric approach was utilized to quantitatively determine DCV at 373 nm in presence of its oxidative degradation product and at 388 nm in presence of its photolytic degradation product that is obtained by exposing DCV to UV light at 312 nm, these were the zero-crossing wavelengths of degradation products without interference. The synchronous fluorescence was scanned at Δ λ of 80 nm. The method was found to be linear across the concentration range of 0.5-5.0 ng/mL with lower detection limit of 0.090 and lower quantification limit of 0.275 ng/mL (at 373 nm) and 0.268 ng/mL (at 388 nm). The adopted approach was successfully applied to commercial tablet and the results exhibited that the derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy is a stability- indicating method, suitable for routine use within a short analysis time. The proposed method was carefully validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity and robustness.

Ionic Radii and Concentration Dependency of RE <sup>3+</sup> (Eu <sup>3+</sup> , Nd <sup>3+</sup> , Pr <sup>3+</sup> and La <sup>3+</sup> ) Doped Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Multi-Enzyme Mimetic and Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Activity
摘要： The anti-oxidant activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) depends on the concentration of oxygen vacancies and Ce3+ active sites. In the present work, we report the impact of 5 mol% tri-valent rare earth doped (RE3+ = Eu3+, Nd3+, Pr3+ and La3+) CNPs on the oxidation state modulation and anti-oxidant property with respect to ionic radii. An increase in lattice parameter, strain and oxygen vacancy concentration was observed as a function of ionic radii. Among the various dopants in CNP, La3+ with higher ionic radii having smaller crystallite size (7.9 nm) and higher vacancy displayed better peroxidase, oxidase and hydroxyl radical (HO?) scavenging activity. The kinetic parameters for the peroxidase and oxidase activity was found to be superior with Km = 0.217 mM and 0.261 mM, respectively, for 5 mol% La3+ doped CNPs. In order to divulge the role of dopants concentration on structural properties, we also explored using 10 and 20 mol% La3+ doping in CNP. Due to smaller crystallite size (6.7 nm) and higher defect level (3.12 x 1021 cm-3), 20% La3+ doping showed superior peroxidase and oxidase activity as shown by the low Km values. CNPs exhibit both peroxidase and oxidase activity in a concentration dependent manner. Moreover, CNPs exhibit a concentration dependent peroxidase and oxidase activity that can be selectively activated for various theranostic applications. Thus, our results demonstrate the crucial role of ionic radii and concentration of RE3+ dopants on the defect formation in cerium oxide nanoparticles for improved anti-oxidant properties of ceria.

EuO epitaxy by oxygen scavenging on SrTiO <sub/>3</sub> (001): Effect of SrTiO <sub/>3</sub> thickness and temperature
摘要： The EuO/SrTiO3 heterojunction is a promising combination of a ferromagnetic material and a two-dimensional electron system. We explore the deposition of Eu metal on SrTiO3/Si pseudo-substrates, with varying SrTiO3 (STO) thickness, under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. By varying the thickness of the STO layer (2-10 nm) and the deposition temperature (20-300 °C), we investigate the process by which oxygen is scavenged from STO by Eu. In situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to investigate the electronic structure of the nominal Eu/STO/Si stack. We ?nd that as a result of Eu deposition, epitaxial EuO is formed on thick STO (6-10 nm), leaving behind a highly oxygen-de?cient SrTiO3-δ layer of ～4 nm in thickness. However, if the thickness of the STO layer is comparable to or less than the scavenging depth, the crystal structure of STO is disrupted and a solid state reaction between Eu, Si, and STO occurs when the deposition is done at a high temperature (300 °C). On the other hand, at a low temperature (20 °C), only a 1-2 nm-thick EuO interlayer is grown, on top of which the Eu metal appears to be stable. This study elucidates the growth process under different conditions and provides a better understanding and control of this system.
