However, the sluggish cathode reactions necessitate the development of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts with lower ΔE indicator values. The ΔE indicator is commonly employed to quantitatively evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst,representing the overall overpotential from oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) to oxygen evolution reaction(OER).展开更多

In this work, we systematically study the entanglement entropy(EE) and derivative entanglement entropy(DEE) near quantum phase transitions in various quantum many-body systems. A one-parameter scaling relation between the DEE and system size at the critical point has been derived for the first time, which successfully obtains the critical exponent via data collapse. Furthermore, we find that the EE peaks at the(emergent) symmetryenhanced first-order transition, reflecting higher symmetry breaking. This work provides a new paradigm for quantum many-body research from the perspective of EE and DEE.展开更多

文摘The integration of machine learning and electrocatalysis presents nota ble advancements in designing and predicting the performance of chiral materials for hydrogen evolution reactions(HER).This study utilizes theoretical calculations and machine learning techniques to assess the HER performance of both chiral and achiral M-N-SWCNTs(M=In,Bi,and Sb)single-atom catalysts(SACs).The stability preferences of metal atoms are dependent on chirality when interacting with chiral SWCNTs.The HER activity of the right-handed In-N-SWCNT is 5.71 times greater than its achiral counterpart,whereas the left-handed In-N-SWCNT exhibits a 5.12-fold enhancement.The calculated hydrogen adsorption free energy for the right-handed In-N-SWCNT reaches as low as-0.02 eV.This enhancement is attributed to the symmetry breaking in spin density distribution,transitioning from C_(2V)in achiral SACs to C_(2)in chiral SACs,which facilitates active site transfer and enhances local spin density.Right-handed M-N-SWCNTs exhibit superiorα-electron separation and transport efficiency relative to left-handed variants,owing to the chiral induced spin selectivity(CISS)effect,with spin-upα-electron density reaching 3.43×10^(-3)e/Bohr^(3)at active sites.Machine learning provides deeper insights,revealing that the interplay of weak spatial electronic effects and appropriate curvature-chirality effects significantly enhances HER performance.A weaker spatial electronic effect correlates with higher HER activity,larger exchange current density,and higher turnover frequency.The curvature-chirality effect undersco res the influence of intrinsic structures on HER performance.These findings offer critical insights into the role of chirality in electrocatalysis and propose innovative approaches for optimizing HER through chirality.

文摘Rechargeable zinc-air batteries(ZABs) have recently drawn great attention in energy research due to their high theoretical capacity,low costs, and inherently safe nature [1–3]. However, the sluggish cathode reactions necessitate the development of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts with lower ΔE indicator values. The ΔE indicator is commonly employed to quantitatively evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst,representing the overall overpotential from oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) to oxygen evolution reaction(OER).

文摘This study conducts a comparative investigation between short-lived(3-8 days)and long-lived(9-24 days)break events of the South China Sea summer monsoon during 1979-2020,focusing on their statistical characteristics and potential mechanisms for their different persistence.Results suggest that both types of events are characterized by anomalously suppressed convection accompanied by an anomalous anticyclone during the break period.However,these convection and circulation anomalies exhibit more localized patterns for short-lived events,but possess larger spatial scales and stronger intensities for long-lived events.The influence of tropical intraseasonal oscillations(ISOs)on short-and long-lived events is explored to interpret their different durations.It is found that for short-lived events,the 10-25-day oscillation is dominant in initiating and terminating the break,while the impact of the 30-60-day oscillation is secondary,thus resulting in a brief break period.In contrast,for long-lived events,the 10-25-day oscillation contributes to break development rather than its initiation,and concurrently,the 30-60-day oscillation shows a remarkable enhancement and plays a decisive role in prolonging the break duration.Furthermore,we find that long-lived events are preceded by significant ISO activities approximately two weeks before their occurrence,which can be regarded as efficient predictors.Associated with these precursory ISOs,the occurrence probability of break days for long-lived events can rise up to triple their original probability(35.43%vs.11.21%).

文摘The complex symmetry breaking states in AV3Sb5 family have attracted extreme research attention,but controversy still exists,especially in the question of time reversal symmetry breaking of the charge density wave(CDW).Most recently,a chiral CDW has been suggested in kagome magnet FeGe,but the related study is very rare.Here,we use a scanning tunneling microscope to study the symmetry breaking behavior of both the short-and long-range CDWs in FeGe.Different from previous studies,our study reveals an isotropic long-range CDW without obvious symmetry breaking,while local rotational symmetry breaking appears in the short-range CDW,which may be related to the existence of strong structural disorders.Moreover,the charge distribution of the short-range CDW is inert to the applied external magnetic fields and the detailed spin arrangements of FeGe,inconsistent with the expectation of a chiral CDW associated with chiral flux.Our results rule out the existence of spontaneous chiral and rotational symmetry breaking in the CDW state of FeGe,putting strong constraints on the further understanding of CDW mechanism.

文摘Radial jet drilling(RJD)technology is expected to be a technology for the efficient exploitation of geothermal resources.However,the low rock-breaking efficiency is the major obstacle hindering the development of RJD technology.The flow field characteristics and rock breaking ability of cone-straight abrasive jet,rotary abrasive jet,and straight-rotating mixed abrasive jet are analyzed by numerical simulations and experiments.Results show that the axial velocity of the cone-straight abrasive jet is high,the tangential velocity is basically zero,the radial velocity is also small,and the jet impact area is concentrated in the center.A deep hole with a diameter of only 25 mm is formed when the cone-straight abrasive jet breaks the granite.Due to the presence of the guiding impeller,the rotary abrasive jet basically has no axial velocity and has the highest tangential and radial velocity,so it can break the granite to form a hole with a diameter of about 55 mm and a central bulge.The straight-rotating mixed abrasive jet has a large axial/tangential/radial velocity at the same time,so it can break the granite to form a hole with a diameter of about 52 mm with a low bulge.The results show that the straight-rotating mixed abrasive jet combines the advantages of the cone-straight jet and the rotary jet,and is more suitable for the RJD technology.The research results can provide reference for the development of efficient rock-breaking and hole-forming technology,and promote the development of RJD technology in the field of geothermal development.

文摘Entanglement plays a key role in quantum physics, but how much information it can extract from many-body systems is still an open question, particularly regarding quantum criticalities and emergent symmetries. In this work, we systematically study the entanglement entropy(EE) and derivative entanglement entropy(DEE) near quantum phase transitions in various quantum many-body systems. A one-parameter scaling relation between the DEE and system size at the critical point has been derived for the first time, which successfully obtains the critical exponent via data collapse. Furthermore, we find that the EE peaks at the(emergent) symmetryenhanced first-order transition, reflecting higher symmetry breaking. This work provides a new paradigm for quantum many-body research from the perspective of EE and DEE.
