文摘Under hydrothermal and solvothermal conditions,two novel cobalt-based complexes,{[Co_(2)(CIA)(OH)(1,4-dtb)]·3.2H_(2)O}n(HU23)and{[Co_(2)(CIA)(OH)(1,4-dib)]·3.5H2O·DMF}n(HU24),were successfully constructed by coordinatively assembling the semi-rigid multidentate ligand 5-(1-carboxyethoxy)isophthalic acid(H₃CIA)with the Nheterocyclic ligands 1,4-di(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzene(1,4-dtb)and 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene(1,4-dib),respectively,around Co^(2+)ions.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that in both complexes HU23 and HU24,the CIA^(3-)anions adopt aκ^(7)-coordination mode,bridging six Co^(2+)ions via their five carboxylate oxygen atoms and one ether oxygen atom.This linkage forms tetranuclear[Co4(μ3-OH)2]^(6+)units.These Co-oxo cluster units were interconnected by CIA^(3-)anions to assemble into 2D kgd-type structures featuring a 3,6-connected topology.The 2D layers were further connected by 1,4-dtb and 1,4-dib,resulting in 3D pillar-layered frameworks for HU23 and HU24.Notably,despite the similar configurations of 1,4-dtb and 1,4-dib,differences in their coordination spatial orientations lead to topological divergence in the 3D frameworks of HU23 and HU24.Topological analysis indicates that the frameworks of HU23 and HU24 can be simplified into a 3,10-connected net(point symbol:(4^(10).6^(3).8^(2))(4^(3))_(2))and a 3,8-connected tfz-d net(point symbol:(4^(3))_(2)((4^(6).6^(18).8^(4)))),respectively.This structural differentiation confirms the precise regulatory role of ligands on the topology of metal-organic frameworks.Moreover,the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra confirmed that HU23 and HU24 have strong absorption capabilities for ultraviolet and visible light.According to the Kubelka-Munk method,their bandwidths were 2.15 and 2.08 eV,respectively,which are consistent with those of typical semiconductor materials.Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements(2-300 K)revealed significant antiferromagnetic coupling in both complexes,with their effective magnetic moments decreasing markedly as the temperature lowered.CCDC:2457554,HU23;2457553,HU24.
文摘In this work,we report a fabrication of recyclable iron oxide decorated MoS_(2)nanosheets via a facile liq-uid exfoliation approach and solvothermal reaction for visible-light photodegradation of tetracycline.The prepared Fe_(3)O_(4)-MoS_(2)was characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectros-copy,Raman spectroscopy,magnetic hysteresis,and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms.Experimental results indicate that,successful attachment of Fe_(3)O_(4)nanoparticles to MoS_(2)sheets has been achieved.The enhanced surface area of Fe_(3)O_(4)-MoS_(2)induced high rates of adsorption and the adsorbed tetracycline was degraded to 90%after 150 min of visible exposure,which is better than that from pure MoS_(2).The introduction of Fe_(3)O_(4)not only enhances the photo-catalytic performance of Fe_(3)O_(4)-MoS_(2),but also enables its convenient recovery from water by an external magnetic field.Furthermore,both the photocatalytic activity and composite phase of Fe_(3)O_(4)-MoS_(2)were well-retained over cy-cles.Owing to its efficient photocatalytic activity,good stability and magnetic recyclability,the Fe_(3)O_(4)-MoS_(2)nano-composite is considered to be a promising photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

文摘Oxygen carriers play a fundamental role in chemical looping combustion(CLC).Iron-based carriers have been extensively investigated owing to their abundance and environmentally friendly.However,the reactivity and separability of iron-based carriers require further enhancement.This study investigates the effect of the concentration of Mn doping on reactivity,elastic properties and magnetic properties based on density functional theory(DFT)calculations.Theoretical results demonstrate that Mn doping effectively enhances reactivity by reducing the oxygen vacancy formation energy(E_(vac))from 2.33 to 0.87 eV.However,Mn doping introduces HV/EV Ms lattice distortions that deteriorate elastic properties,thereby reducing wear resistance,as evidenced by a 54.54%decrease in the hardness-to-Young's modulus ratio(H_(v)/E_(v))forα-Fe_(2)O_(3)and an 83.33%reduction for Fe_(3)O_(4).Furthermore,Mn doping also modifies magnetic properties.The maximum of saturation magnetization(M_(s))of Fe_(3)O_(4)reaches 121.02 emu/g at 33.33%Mn doping concentration.Finally,systematic evaluation identifies 33.33%as the optimal Mn doping concentration,achieving a balance in enhanced reactivity,superior magnetic performance,and retained elastic stability.

文摘Machado-Joseph disease,or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3(SCA3),represents the most common autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia worldwide.Despite its progressive and debilitating nature,disease-modifying therapies remain elusive.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)has emerged as a promising non-invasive intervention;however,its clinical application has been hindered by inconsistent protocols and a lack of mechanistic understanding.A recent landmark study published in Brain Stimulation by Chen et al.addressed these challenges by combining a high-dose intermittent theta-burst stimulation(iTBS)protocol with concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography(TMS-EEG).This commentary provides an in-depth analysis of their findings,highlighting the restoration of cerebello-cortical inhibition(CBI)as a key therapeutic mechanism.Furthermore,we discuss the broader implications of this work,proposing that future translational research should integrate accelerated iTBS(aiTBS)paradigms,cortical response measurements(CRM),and individualized neuro-navigation to establish a new era of precision neuromodulation for ataxia.
文摘The Circular Electron Positron Collider(CEPC)proposed in China is a dual-ring collider with electron and positron beams in the energy range of 45.5–180 GeV.The main dipole in the CEPC collider is a dual-aperture dipole with a shared coil between the two apertures,forming an I-shaped structure that can reduce power consumption by 50%.Because of its long length and low field strength,the development of this dual-aperture magnet faces challenges regarding its mechanical design,field measurement accuracy,and field performance.Numerical simulations were performed to better understand the Earth's field and the effect of different BH curves on field performance.The field results of the prototype are presented herein,and the field quality satisfies the requirements.The remanent field accounts for 2%of the integral field at 140 Gs,and the hysteresis effect caused an increase in field strength of approximately 0.075%after a standardization cycle of the trim coils.Research on this prototype can provide useful insights for understanding low-field dipole magnets.

文摘The National Geophysical Data Center(NGDC)of the United States has collected aeromagnetic data for input into a series of geomagnetic models to improve model resolution;however,in the Tibetan Plateau region,ground-based observations remain insufficient to clearly reflect the characteristics of the region’s lithospheric magnetism.In this study,we evaluate the lithospheric magnetism of the Tibetan Plateau by using a 3D surface spline model based on observations from>200 newly constructed repeat stations(portable stations)to determine the spatial distribution of plateau geomagnetism,as well as its correlation with the tectonic features of the region.We analyze the relationships between M≥5 earthquakes and lithospheric magnetic field variations on the Tibetan Plateau and identify regions susceptible to strong earthquakes.We compare the geomagnetic results with those from an enhanced magnetic model(EMM2015)developed by the NGDC and provide insights into improving lithospheric magnetic field calculations in the Tibetan Plateau region.Further research reveals that these magnetic anomalies exhibit distinct differences from the magnetic-seismic correlation mechanisms observed in other tectonic settings;here,they are governed primarily by the combined effects of compressional magnetism,thermal magnetism,and deep thermal stress.This study provides new evidence of geomagnetic anomalies on the Tibetan Plateau,interprets them physically,and demonstrates their potential for identifying seismic hazard zones on the Plateau.

文摘Large magnetic entropy change(△S_(M))can realize a prominent heat transformation under the magnetic field and directly strengthen the efficacy of the magnetocaloric effect,which provides a pioneering environmentally friendly solidstate strategy to improve refrigeration capacities and efficiencies.The second-order magnetic transition(SOMT)materials have broader△S_(M) peaks without thermal hysteresis,making them highly attractive in magnetic refrigeration,especially in the room temperature range.Here,we report a significant enhancement of△S_(M) at room temperature in single-crystal Mn_(5)Ge_(3).In this SOMT system,we realize a 60%improvement of-△S_(M)^(max) from 3.5 J/kg·K to 5.6 J/kg·K at T=300 K.This considerable enhancement of△S_(M) is achieved by intentionally introducing strain energy through high-pressure constrained deformation.Both experimental results and Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the enhancement of△S_(M) originates from the microscopic strain and lattice deformation induced by strain energy after deformation.This strain energy will reconstruct the energy landscape of this ferromagnetic system and enhance magnetization,resulting in a giant intensity of magnetocaloric responses.Our findings provide an approach to increase magnetic entropy change and may give fresh ideas for exploring advanced magnetocaloric materials.

文摘Magnetic field-driven spin polarization modulation has emerged as an effective way to boost the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).However,the correlation among catalyst structure,magnetic property,and magnetic field enhanced-electrochemical activity remains to be fully elucidated.Herein,single-domain CoFe_(2)O_(4) catalysts with tunable oxygen vacancies(CFO-V_(O)) were synthesized to probe how V_(O) mediates magnetism and OER activity under magnetic field.The introduction of V_(O) can simultaneously modulate saturation magnetization(M_(s)) and coercivity(H_(c)),where the increased M_(s) dominates the magnetic field-enhanced OER activity.Under a 14,000 G magnetic field,the optimized CFO-V_(O) exhibits up to 16.1 % reduction in overpotential and 365 % enhancement in magnetocurrent(MC).Electrochemical analyses and post-OER characterization reveal that the magnetic field synergistically improves OER kinetics through lattice distortion induction,magnetohydrodynamic effect,and spin charge transfer effect.Importantly,the magnetic field promotes additional Co^(3+) generation to compensate for charge imbalance caused by V_(O) filling,maintaining dynamic equilibrium of V_(O) and effective reactant adsorption-conversion processes.This work unveils the synergistic mechanism of V_(O) and magnetic parameters for enhancing OER performance under the magnetic field,providing new insights into the design of high-efficiency spinregulated OER catalysts.

文摘The precise tuning of magnetic nanoparticle size and magnetic domains,thereby shaping magnetic properties.However,the dynamic evolution mechanisms of magnetic domain configurations in relation to electromagnetic(EM)attenuation behavior remain poorly understood.To address this gap,a thermodynamically controlled periodic coordination strategy is proposed to achieve precise modulation of magnetic nanoparticle spacing.This approach unveils the evolution of magnetic domain configurations,progressing from individual to coupled and ultimately to crosslinked domain configurations.A unique magnetic coupling phenomenon surpasses the Snoek limit in low-frequency range,which is observed through micromagnetic simulation.The crosslinked magnetic configuration achieves effective low-frequency EM wave absorption at 3.68 GHz,encompassing nearly the entire C-band.This exceptional magnetic interaction significantly enhances radar camouflage and thermal insulation properties.Additionally,a robust gradient metamaterial design extends coverage across the full band(2–40 GHz),effectively mitigating the impact of EM pollution on human health and environment.This comprehensive study elucidates the evolution mechanisms of magnetic domain configurations,addresses gaps in dynamic magnetic modulation,and provides novel insights for the development of high-performance,low-frequency EM wave absorption materials.

文摘We prepared Co_(x)Pt_(100-x)(x=40,45,50,55,60)nanoparticles by the sol-gel method.The phase composition and crystal structure,morphology and microstructure,and magnetic properties of the samples were characterized and tested using X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM),respectively.The results demonstrate that the coercivity of CoPt nanoparticles can be effectively controlled by adjusting the atomic ratio of Co and Pt in the samples.Among the compositions studied,the Co_(45)Pt_(55)sample synthesized by the sol-gel method exhibits smaller grain size and a coercivity as high as 6.65×10^(5) A/m is achieved.The morphology and microstructure of the nanoparticles were analyzed by TEM images,indicating that a slight excess of Pt can effectively enhance the coercivity of CoPt nanoparticles.

文摘A solenoid is typically used in normally conducting and superconducting radio frequency(SRF)photoinjectors to compensate for the projected transverse beam emittance.In the ELBE SRF Gun-Ⅱ,a superconducting solenoid is positioned inside the gun cryomodule approximately 0.7 m from the end of the gun cavity.The spherical aberration and multipole field effects caused by offset and tilt limit the reduction in beam emittance for high bunch charges.We designed a novel superconducting(SC)solenoid with a lower spherical aberration coefficient.In the simulation,the beam emittance from the spherical aberration decreased by 47%.Both the longitudinal and transverse fields were measured and analyzed using the formalism fitting method to assess the performance of the SC solenoid within the cryomodule and its influence on the beam transverse emittance.

文摘Neuronanomedicine is a promising interdisciplinary field combining two critical fields,neuroscience and nanotechnology.This study focuses on the engineering of magnetized nanoparticles(MNPs)in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders and brain cancer.Additionally,this mechanism enhances the effectiveness of magnetic-guided drug delivery.The alternating magnetic field is applied to control the directions of the MNPs to target the tumor cells.This study approaches the radiotherapy techniques of magnetic hyperthermia therapy(MHT),wherein the thermal radiative heat transfer effect is applied to achieve homogenous heating to destroy cancer cells.MNPs are injected through the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)transport in the glymphatic system.The elastic properties of the cerebral arteries cause peristaltic propulsion for the resulting nanofluid.Therefore,the effective Maxwell model for the nanofluid thermal conductivity is selected.The nanofluid governing equations are solved using the perturbation technique under small wavelength number and long wavelength approximation with small Reynolds number.Additionally,the effects of thermal slip and elastic properties boundary conditions are incorporated.The graphical results for the streamwise velocity,pressure,and temperature distributions are plotted using MATLAB package considering the different effects of the magnetic flux intensity,thermal radiation parameter,thermal slipping at boundaries,elastic wall properties,and nanoparticle concentration.The results demonstrate the strong impact of the magnetic field and radiation heating in terms of enhancing the nanofluid CSF flow behavior and destroying cancer.

文摘Background:The bacterial biofilm poses a significant challenge to traditional antibiotic therapy.There is a great need to develop novel antibiofilm agents combined with biofilm disrupting and bacteria-killing without the dependence of antibiotic.Methods:Herein,we prepared ultrasound/magnetic field-responsive ferroferric oxide nanoparticles(Fe_(3)O_(4))/glucose oxidase microbubbles(FGMB)to form a cascade catalytic system for effective removing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilms.FGMB were prepared through interfacial self-assembly of Fe_(3)O_(4) nanoparticles(NPs)and glucose oxidase(GOx)at the gas-liquid interface stabilized by surfactants.Under ultrasound/magnetic field stimulation,FGMB disrupted biofilm architecture through microbubble collapse-induced microjets and magnetically driven displacement.Simultaneously,ultrasound-triggered rupture of FGMB released GOx and Fe_(3)O_(4) NPs.Glucose can be oxidized by GOx to generate gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide which was subsequently catalyzed into hydroxyl radicals by Fe_(3)O_(4) NPs,enabling chemical eradication of biofilm-embedded bacteria.Results:Optical microscopy images demonstrated that FGMB have spherical structure with average size of approximately 17μm.FGMB showed a 65.4%decrease in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm biomass and 1.1 log bacterial inactivation efficiency(91.2%),suggesting effective biofilm elimination.In vitro experimental results also indicate that FGMB have good biocompatibility.Conclusion:This antibiofilm strategy integrated dual modes of physical biofilm disruption with chemical bacteria-killing shows great potential as a versatile,non-resistant strategy for bacterial biofilm elimination.

文摘Purpose:Ankle proprioception deficits have been widely reported in patients with chronic ankle instability(CAI),but their central neuropathological mechanisms have not been fully discussed.So,we aimed to figure out whether the structural and functional features of the cerebellar vermis differed between patients with CAI and healthy controls,and are associated with proprioception deficits in patients.Methods:Twenty-two patients and 25 control individuals were enrolled in a cross-sectional investigation.All participants underwent structural and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning to calculate voxel-based morphometry(VBM)and fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(fALFF)of the vermis.Between-group comparisons of the ankle instability-related subregions of the vermis were performed.Correlation analyses were performed between the outcomes of the surviving subregions and the proprioceptive scores of the ankle inversion discrimination apparatus for landing test.Results:The subregion of vermis Ⅳ/Ⅴ survived the multiple comparison correction to reveal a lower VBM value in patients than in healthy controls(Cohen's d=-0.968).The patients also showed significantly higher fALFF(Cohen's d=0.666)in this subregion.After controlling the demographic features,the proprioceptive scores were significantly correlated with VBM(r=0.622)and fALFF values(r=-0.512)in the group of patients.Conclusions:Patients with CAI have lower gray matter volume and higher activity intensity in the cerebellar vermis than healthy control.The more severe proprioception deficits were significantly associated with the vermal volume and activity,which might be able to facilitate future diagnoses and treatments for CAI.

文摘Perinatal exposure to infection/inflammation is highly associated with neural injury,and subsequent impaired cortical growth,disturbances in neuronal connectivity,and impaired neurodevelopment.However,our understanding of the pathophysiological substrate underpinning these changes in brain structure and function is limited.The objective of this review is to summarize the growing evidence from animal trials and human cohort studies that suggest exposure to infection/inflammation during the perinatal period promotes regional impairments in neuronal maturation and function,including loss of high-frequency electroencephalographic activity,and reduced growth and arborization of cortical dendrites and dendritic spines resulting in reduced cortical volume.These inflammation-induced disturbances to neuronal structure and function are likely to underpin subsequent disturbances to cortical development and connectivity in fetuses and/or newborns exposed to infection/inflammation during the perinatal period,leading,in the long term,to impaired neurodevelopment.The combined use of early electroencephalography monitoring with neuroimaging techniques that enable detailed evaluation of brain microstructure,and the use of therapeutics that successfully target systemic and central nervous system inflammation could provide an effective strategy for early detection and therapeutic intervention.
