The introduction of non-magnetic atom vacancy leads to the decrease of the martensitic transition temperature and realizes a temperature window where magnetic and martensitic phase transitions can be tuned together. Moreover, the giant magnetocaloric effect accompanied with the coupled magnetic-structural transition is ob- tained. It is observed that the peak values of magnetic entropy change of MnCoGeo.97 are about -13.9, -35.1 and -47.4J.kg-1K-1 for △H = 2, 5, 7T, respectively.展开更多

The investigated materials were prepared with three different weight percentage of lead oxide and lead nitrate (30, 50 and 70 wt%). The mass attenuation coefficients (μ<sub>m</sub>) for all composite samples were measured experimentally at 511 and 661.6 keV photon energies. The measurements were made by performing transmission experiments with a 3'' × 3'' NaI (Tl) scintillation detector, which had an energy resolution of 7% at 0.662 MeV for the gamma-rays from the decay of <sup>137</sup>Cs. The effective atomic numbers (Z<sub>eff</sub>) and the effective electron densities (N<sub>eff</sub>) were determined experimentally. Also they were determined theoretically using the obtained μ<sub>m</sub> values for the studied composites samples by WinXCom program. The obtained results show that the experimental values of the composites are found to be in a good agreement with the theoretical values. It is recognized that the mass attenuation coefficient (μ<sub>m</sub>), effective atomic numbers (Z<sub>eff</sub>) and the effective electron densities (N<sub>eff</sub>) are increased in the composite samples which contain lead oxides than which contain lead nitrates. Finally, the Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/lead oxide is better than Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/lead nitrate polymer as gamma radiation shielding.展开更多

Iodine was first introduced into the Jr-conjugation backbone of the PV based chromophores in order to study the heavy atom effect on their linear absorption, two-photon absorption （TPA） properties, as well as singlet oxygen generation properties. TPA cross-sections of these chromophores were investigated by using the two-photon excited fluorescence method. The unsymmetrical chromophores were found to have larger TPA cross-section values compared to their symmetrical counterparts. For one of the unsymmetrical chromophores with the iodine incorporation, a large TPA cross section value with quenched emission was found. The decreased fluorescence quantum yield of a molecule can be ascribed to the increased intersystem crossing, which is favorable for enhancing the singlet oxygen generation. Therefore, the unsymmetrical PV based chromophores with heavy atom incorporation are promising singlet oxygen sensitizers for the photodynamic therapy application.展开更多

文摘The research of long persistent luminescence(LPL)materials has yield brilliant results in many fields.However,the efforts are still needed for the regulation of the LPL performance.In this work,a series of LPL metal organic halides with rich halogen-bond interactions,Py-CdX_(2)(X=Cl,Br,I)were synthesized through self-assembly by Cd X_(2)and pyridine solvent.The steady-state emission redshifted and phosphorescence lifetime declined as the halogen atoms are aggravated.Three halides exhibit adjustable emission from blue to green and multiple phosphorescence from green to yellow at room temperature by changing the excitation wavelengths.Surprisingly,Py-CdX_(2)can emit the visible color-tunable LPL from green to yellow after removing different excitation sources at ambient conditions.Combing the results of theoretical calculation and experimental analysis,it is found that heavy atom effect and the rich intermolecular halogen bond help realize LPL and multiple triplet states originated from the pyridine ring and the halogens.
文摘BACKGROUND The level of Ki-67 expression has served as a prognostic factor in gastric cancer.The quantitative parameters based on the novel dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography(DLSDCT)in discriminating the Ki-67 expression status are unclear.AIM To investigate the diagnostic ability of DLSDCT-derived parameters for Ki-67 expression status in gastric carcinoma(GC).METHODS Dual-phase enhanced abdominal DLSDCT was performed preoperatively in 108 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.Primary tumor monoenergetic CT attenuation value at 40-100 kilo electron volt(kev),the slope of the spectral curve(λ_(HU)),iodine concentration(IC),normalized IC(nIC),effective atomic number(Z^(eff))and normalized Z^(eff)(nZ^(eff))in the arterial phase(AP)and venous phase(VP)were retrospectively compared between patients with low and high Ki-67 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma.Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze the association between the above parameters and Ki-67 expression status.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the statistically significant parameters between two groups.RESULTS Thirty-seven and 71 patients were classified as having low and high Ki-67 expression,respectively.CT_(40 kev-VP),CT_(70 kev-VP),CT_(100 kev-VP),and Z^(eff)-related parameters were significantly higher,but IC-related parameters were lower in the group with low Ki-67 expression status than the group with high Ki-67 expression status,and other analyzed parameters showed no statistical difference between the two groups.Spearman’s correlation analysis showed that CT_(40 kev-VP),CT_(70 kev-VP),CT_(100 kev-VP),Z^(eff),and n Z^(eff) exhibited a negative correlation with Ki-67 status,whereas IC and nIC had positive correlation with Ki-67 status.The ROC analysis demonstrated that the multi-variable model of spectral parameters performed well in identifying the Ki-67 status[area under the curve(AUC)=0.967;sensitivity 95.77%;specificity 91.89%)].Nevertheless,the differentiating capabilities of singlevariable model were moderate(AUC value 0.630-0.835).In addition,the nZ_(VP)^(eff) and nIC_(VP)(AUC 0.835 and 0.805)showed better performance than CT_(40 kev-VP),CT_(70 kev-VP) and CT_(100 kev-VP)(AUC 0.630,0.631 and 0.662)in discriminating the Ki-67 status.CONCLUSION Quantitative spectral parameters are feasible to distinguish low and high Ki-67 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma.Z^(eff) and IC may be useful parameters for evaluating the Ki-67 expression.

文摘Compton scattering with bound electrons contributes to a significant atomic effect in low-momentum transfer,yielding background structures in direct light dark matter searches as well as low-energy rare event experiments.We report the measurement of Compton scattering in low-momentum transfer by implementing a 10-g germanium detector bombarded by a^(137)Cs source with a radioactivity of 8.7 mCi and a scatter photon captured by a cylindrical NaI(Tl)detector.A fully relativistic impulse approximation combined with multi-configuration Dirac–Fock wavefunctions was evaluated,and the scattering function of Geant4 software was replaced by our calculation results.Our measurements show that the Livermore model with the modified scattering function in Geant4 is in good agreement with the experimental data.It is also revealed that atomic many-body effects significantly influence Compton scattering for low-momentum transfer(sub-keV energy transfer).
文摘In this work, the Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/lead oxide and the Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/lead nitrate composites were prepared as gamma-radiation shielding materials. The investigated materials were prepared with three different weight percentage of lead oxide and lead nitrate (30, 50 and 70 wt%). The mass attenuation coefficients (μ<sub>m</sub>) for all composite samples were measured experimentally at 511 and 661.6 keV photon energies. The measurements were made by performing transmission experiments with a 3'' × 3'' NaI (Tl) scintillation detector, which had an energy resolution of 7% at 0.662 MeV for the gamma-rays from the decay of <sup>137</sup>Cs. The effective atomic numbers (Z<sub>eff</sub>) and the effective electron densities (N<sub>eff</sub>) were determined experimentally. Also they were determined theoretically using the obtained μ<sub>m</sub> values for the studied composites samples by WinXCom program. The obtained results show that the experimental values of the composites are found to be in a good agreement with the theoretical values. It is recognized that the mass attenuation coefficient (μ<sub>m</sub>), effective atomic numbers (Z<sub>eff</sub>) and the effective electron densities (N<sub>eff</sub>) are increased in the composite samples which contain lead oxides than which contain lead nitrates. Finally, the Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/lead oxide is better than Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/lead nitrate polymer as gamma radiation shielding.
文摘Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins,which are the most abundant macromolecules in living cells.From the standpoint of the photon interaction cross sections of amino acids,the mass attenuation coefficients,half and tenth value layers,mean free path,effective atomic and electronic cross sections,effective atomic number,and effective electron density of fifteen essential amino acids have been determined for 133Ba,137Cs,and 60Co gamma-ray sources.The MCNP-4C code and the XCOM program have been used to calculate these parameters.The results have been compared to the available experimental and theoretical data.The theoretical results agreed with the experimental data,with RD values of ≤±7%.In the energy region of 81-1332.5 keV,it was found that the μm,σa,and revalues of the amino acids decreased as the photon energy increased,and the increasing density of amino acids had no steady effect on these quantities.Additionally,results demonstrated that the HVL,TVL,and MFP values increased with the increase in photon energy.The μm,σa,and Zeff values of aspartic acid were the highest among those of all amino acids,and they were the lowest for isoleucine.The Zeff value of each sample containing H,C,N,and O atoms was nearly constant in the studied energy region.The Neffvalues of the studied amino acids varied in the range of 3.14×10^23-3.44×10^23 electron/g.Furthermore,the Neffvalues were approximately independent of the amino acid type in this energy region.

文摘The energy dissipation pathways of a photosensitizer for phototherapies,including photodynamic therapy(PDT)and photothermal therapy(PTT),compete directly with that of itsfluorescence(FL)emission.Enriching heavy atoms on theπ-conjugated systems and aggregation-caused quenching are two effective methods to turn off the FL emission of photosensitizers,which is expected to boost the inter-system crossing(for PDT)and nonradiative transition(for PTT)of photosensitizers for maximized phototherapeutic efficacy.Following this approach,an all-iodine-substituted polydiacetylene aggregate poly(diiododiacetylene)(PIDA)has been developed,which shows a superior near infrared absorption(ε_(808nm)=26.1 g^(-1) cm^(-1) L)with completely blocked FL,as well as high efficiency of reactive oxygen species generation(nearly 45 folds of indocyanine green)and photothermal conversion(33.4%).To make the insolublefibrillar PIDA aggregates favorable for systemic administration,they are converted into nanospheres through a pre-polymerization morphology transformation strategy.The in vivo study on a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model demonstrates that PIDA nanospheres can almost eliminate the tumor entirely in 16 days and prolong the survival time of mice to over 60 days,validating their effective phototherapeutic response through the strategy of inhibiting FL for boosted intersystem crossing and nonradiative transition.

文摘In the crystal engineering area,it is important to clearly demonstrating the relationship of structure and certain functionality.Herein,we present the study of the relationship of structure with phosphorescent nature for two new room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) coordination polymers(CPs).[Pb(FDA)(H_(2)O)](1) and [NH_(3)(CH_(3))NH_(2)(CH_(3))_(2)][Pb_(4)(FDA)_(5)](2),where H_(2) FDA is 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid,have been synthesized by solvothermal method using different solvents and Pb^(2+) sources and characterized by microanalysis,powderX-ray diffraction(PXRD),thermogravimetric(TG),IR and UV-vis spectra.The Pb^(2+)ions adopt bicapped triangle prism coordination sphere in 1 and 2,which are connected together via FDA^(2-) ligands into bilayer structure in 1 while pillared-layer framework in 2.The FDA^(2-) ligands show different bridging modes in 1 and 2,leading to distinct coordination interactions between Pb^(2+) ion and FDA^(2-) ligand in both CPs.Both 1 and 2 emit ligand-centered RTP due to the heavy atom of Pb^(2+) ion,with a lifetime and quantum yield of 0.62 ms and 14.9% in 1 versus 1.69 ms and 15.7% in 2.The emission peak shows significant redshift(79 nm) in 2 regarding 1,which arises from their distinction of coordination interactions between Pb^(2+) ion and FDA^(2-) ligand in both CPs.

文摘This paper explores continuous variable entanglement in four-wave mixing when the atomic relaxation time is comparable to and longer than the cavity relaxation time. In this case the atomic memory is included in the field correlations and the entanglement in the output fields can be significantly enhanced. Einstein Podolsky Rosen （EPR） entanglement is achievable even in the bad cavity limit. This shows the EPR entanglement generation without need of good cavity.

文摘A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical phenylene-vinylene （PV） based chro- mophores with the molecular configuration of donor-π-donor （D-g-D） were prepared and characterized. Iodine was first introduced into the Jr-conjugation backbone of the PV based chromophores in order to study the heavy atom effect on their linear absorption, two-photon absorption （TPA） properties, as well as singlet oxygen generation properties. TPA cross-sections of these chromophores were investigated by using the two-photon excited fluorescence method. The unsymmetrical chromophores were found to have larger TPA cross-section values compared to their symmetrical counterparts. For one of the unsymmetrical chromophores with the iodine incorporation, a large TPA cross section value with quenched emission was found. The decreased fluorescence quantum yield of a molecule can be ascribed to the increased intersystem crossing, which is favorable for enhancing the singlet oxygen generation. Therefore, the unsymmetrical PV based chromophores with heavy atom incorporation are promising singlet oxygen sensitizers for the photodynamic therapy application.
