Breakthroughs have been made in some key technologies and components of heat switches and dilution units. Our prototype has been running continuously and stably for more than 100 hours below 10 m K, with a minimum temperature of 7.6 m K and a cooling power of 450 μW at 100 m K. At the same time, we have also made progress in the application of dilution refrigerators, such as quantum computing, low-temperature detector, and magnet integration. These indicators and test results indicate good prospects for application in physics, astronomy, and quantum information.展开更多

文摘By using a rigid bulky carboxylic ligand a-cyanocinnamic acid(CCA),a dinuclear dysprosium(Ⅲ) complex [Dy_(2)(CCA)_(6)(MeOH)_(4)](1) was synthesized.Single crystal X-ray crystallography reveals that the two eight-coordinate dysprosium ions are bridged by four deprotonated carboxyl groups,forming a centrosymmetric paddle-wheel-1ike structure.Dynamic magnetic property measurements indicate that complex 1 displays field-induced slow magnetic relaxation.The temperature-dependent relaxation times can be fitted using Orbach and Raman processes with parameters of n=2.8(2),C=27(8) s^(-1)/K^(n),τ_(0)=5(2) × 10^(-10) s and U_(eff)=40(3) cm^(-1).Magnetic studies on the diamagnetic Y~Ⅲ-diluted analogue[Dy_(0.206)Y_(1.794)(CCA)_(6)(MeOH)_(4)](2) reveal its slow magnetic relaxation behavior without external dc field and the antiferromagnetic coupling between the Dy^(Ⅲ) ions in 1.Fits on the obtained relaxation times of 2lead to the parameters of n=4.5(3),C=0.7(2) s^(-1)/K^(n),τ_0=2.8(2) × 10^(-9) s and U_(eff)=38(2) cm^(-1).The results suggest that slow magnetic relaxation originates from the single-ion relaxation of Dy^(Ⅲ) ions.Moreover,the diamagnetic dilution can suppress other fast relaxation pathways at low temperature,on account of the elimination of magnetic coupling and dipolar interaction.Ab initio calculations were then performed on the single Dy^(Ⅲ) ion species {YDy} and indicate that the first excited Kramers doublets(KDs)lie at ca.76 cm^(-1),which is slightly higher than the experimental U_(eff) value.The intramolecular magnetic interactions were also calculated and indicate a weak ferromagnetic dipole-diploe magnetic interaction and an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling.

文摘Phytoplankton functional groups have gained increasing attention in recent years.To understand the composition of phytoplankton functional groups in Poyang Lake and their drivers,field investigations were conducted over three years:2013,2014,and 2016.Phytoplankton were dominated by diatoms,contributing from 20.19%to 57.57%of the total biomass,followed by cyanobacteria,9.81%-39.98%.Microcystis sp.and Anabaena sp.were the dominant species among cyanobacteria.Twenty-six functional groups were identified among 72 genera or species,and fiver groups(P,B,MP,H1,and G)were categorized dominant.All of dominant groups except H1 were tolerate highly fluctuating mixing intensities and showed a typical monthly succession variation.Water temperature,water level,and nutrients are key drivers for the variation of phytoplankton communities at taxonomic and functional levels.Both of redundancy and variation partitioning analyses showed that environmental variables might explain functional groups better than taxonomic communities,implying that the functional groups were more advantageous in showing the effects of environmental conditions than taxonomic compositions.Hydrological conditions have a crucial influence on phytoplankton assemblage dynamics in highly variable water regime lakes,but not in the largest ones.The functional groups method is suitable for identifying the spatial and seasonal characteristics of aquatic environments that significantly affected by water regimes.

文摘Electronic interactions of the Group 2A elements with magnesium have been studied through the dilute solid solutions in binary Mg-Ca,Mg-Sr and Mg-Ba systems.This investigation incorporated the difference in the‘Work Function'(ΔWF)measured via Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy(KPFM),as a property directly affected by interatomic bond types,i.e.the electronic structure,nanoindentation measurements,and Stacking Fault Energy values reported in the literature.It was shown that the nano-hardness of the solid-solutionα-Mg phase changed in the order of Mg-Ca>Mg-Sr>Mg-Ba.Thus,it was shown,by also considering the nano-hardness levels,that SFE of a solid-solution is closely correlated with its‘Work Function'level.Nano-hardness measurements on the eutectics andΔWF difference between eutectic phases enabled an assessment of the relative bond strength and the pertinent electronic structures of the eutectics in the three alloys.Correlation withΔWF and at least qualitative verification of those computed SFE values with some experimental measurement techniques were considered important as those computational methods are based on zero Kelvin degree,relatively simple atomic models and a number of assumptions.As asserted by this investigation,if the results of measurement techniques can be qualitatively correlated with those of the computational methods,it can be possible to evaluate the electronic structures in alloys,starting from binary systems,going to ternary and then multi-elemental systems.Our investigation has shown that such a qualitative correlation is possible.After all,the SFE values are not treated as absolute values but rather become essential in comparative investigations when assessing the influences of alloying elements at a fundamental level,that is,free electron density distributions.Our study indicated that the principles of‘electronic metallurgy'in developing multi-elemental alloy systems can be followed via practical experimental methods,i.e.ΔWF measurements using KPFM and nanoindentation.

文摘The change in the distribution of organisms in freshwater ecosystems due to natural or manmade processes raises the question of the impact of alien species on local communities.Although most studies indicate a negative effect,the positive one is more difficult to discern,espe-cially in multispecies systems,including hosts and parasites.The purpose of the study was to check whether the presence of an alien host,Potamopyrgus antipodarum,reduces the intensity of Echinoparyphium aconiatum metacercariae in a native host,Radix spp.We additionally tested the impact of water temperature and the biomass of the alien host on the dilution effect.We experimentally studied(1)the lifespan of echinostome cercariae in different temperatures,(2)the infectivity of cercariae toward the alien host and native host,and(3)the impact of different biomass of the alien host on the intensity of metacercariae in the native host.We found that cercarial survival and infectivity were tem-perature dependent.However,cercarial survival decreased with increasing temperature,contrary to cercarial infectivity.Echinostome cercariae entered the renal cavity of both the native host and alien host,and successfully transformed into metacercariae.The number of metacercariae in the native host decreased with the increasing biomass of the alien host.Our results indicate that lymnaeids may benefit from the co-occur-rence with P antipodarum,as the presence of additional hosts of different origins may reduce the prevalence of parasites in native communities.However,the scale of the dilution effect depends not only on the increased spectrum of susceptible hosts but also on the other variables of the environment,including water temperature and host density.
文摘This study explores the presence of diverse phase diagrams and hysteresis characteristics,as well as their dependencies on segment dilution,in an Ising-type core/shell segmented nanostructure.The magnetic and hysteretic behavior of the nanostructure was carefully investigated by employing the effective-field theory and its respective diluted parameters.The phase diagrams reveal characteristic phenomena that are influenced by the dilution parameters.Specifically,this study examined the variations in phase transitions and tricritical points by altering the dilution and physical parameters of the segments.The investigation also encompasses an examination of the hysteresis characteristics,including the hysteresis loop,coercivity,and remanence,in relation to the segment dilution dependence of the segmented nanowire.It was discovered that as the temperature rises,the hysteresis loop areas diminish.However,intriguingly,at specific dilution and crystal area values,the hysteresis loop areas exhibit an augmentation.

文摘Group testing is a method that can be used to estimate the prevalence of rare infectious diseases,which can effectively save time and reduce costs compared to the method of random sampling.However,previous literature only demonstrated the optimality of group testing strategy while estimating prevalence under some strong assumptions.This article weakens the assumption of misclassification rate in the previous literature,considers the misclassification rate of the infected samples as a differentiable function of the pool size,and explores some optimal properties of group testing for estimating prevalence in the presence of differential misclassification conforming to this assumption.This article theoretically demonstrates that the group testing strategy performs better than the sample by sample procedure in estimating disease prevalence when the total number of sample pools is given or the size of the test population is determined.Numerical simulation experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of group tests in estimating prevalence in the presence of dilution effect.

文摘Self-assembly of bacteria in electric fields is a promising route to fabricate biomaterials with reversible and specific structures.However,due to relatively less studies,our understanding of the self-assembly of bacteria in electric fields is still incomplete.Particularly,how different bacterial species behave differently in their fieldmediated self-assembly behavior remains to be disclosed.In this study,we choose four bacterial species,including Shewanella oneidensis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Bacillus subtilis and Lactococcus lactis as model systems,and investigate their self-assembly behavior in alternating-current(AC)electric fields for both diluted and concentrated suspensions.The phase diagrams in the plane of applied field strength vs frequency are obtained.The results show that in diluted suspensions,a transition sequence of isotropic–paranematic–string–columnar phases is observed in all strains as the field strength increases.Details of the assembled structures are quantitatively differentiated among different strains.In concentrated suspensions,besides the isotropic and paranematic phases,a higher ordered phase with interdigitating rectangular crystal domains(OIR)and an ordered phase with smectic A liquid crystal domains are observed for S.oneidensis and P.aeruginosa,respectively.Our findings shed new light on fabricating potential biomaterials by assembling cells of appropriately chosen bacterial species that have desired surface properties under AC electric fields.

文摘Nonconventional luminescent materials(NLMs)are a type of organic luminescent materials that does not contain aromatic units.Due to the simplicity of the synthesis process,mild reaction conditions,good hydrophilicity and biological compatibility,NLMs have attracted much attention.Nevertheless,numerous reports indicate that NLMs can only effectively luminesce at high concentrations and in solid state,which limits their applicability in the field of cell imaging.This study addresses this limitation by designing and synthesizing oligomers P1,P2 and P3 using ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether and amine compounds containing ethylene groups.These oligomers exhibit remarkable luminescence efficiency reaching as high as 9.2%in dilute solutions(0.1 mg/m L),making them among the best NLMs in this category.Furthermore,the synthesized oligomers exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent and concentration-dependent luminescence intensity,fluorescence response to temperature and p H changes,as well as the ability to identify Fe^(3+),Cu^(2+)and Mo^(5+)in dilute solutions.These characteristics render them potentially useful in the for cell imaging.

文摘Tuning of the magnetic interaction plays the vital role in reducing the clustering of magnetic dopant in diluted magnetic semiconductors(DMS).Due to the not well understood magnetic mechanism and the interplay between different magnetic mechanisms,no efficient and universal tuning strategy is proposed at present.Here,the magnetic interactions and formation energies of isovalent-doped(Mn) and aliovalent(Cr)-doped LiZnAs are studied based on density functional theory(DFT).It is found that the dopant–dopant distance-dependent magnetic interaction is highly sensitive to the carrier concentration and carrier type and can only be explained by the interplay between two magnetic mechanisms,i.e.,superexchange and Zener’s p–d exchange model.Thus,the magnetic behavior and clustering of magnetic dopant can be tuned by the interplay between two magnetic mechanisms.The insensitivity of the tuning effect to U parameter suggests that our strategy could be universal to other DMS.
文摘Intermetallic compounds REIn_(3)(RE=rare earth)have attracted much attention due to their unique characteristics:crystal field effect,Kondo effect,superconductivity,heavy fermion,and antiferromagnetism,and their cobalt diluted alloys exhibit the ferromagnetic half-metallic characteristics at room temperature.In this study,an empirical electron theory(EET)is employed to investigate systemically the valence electronic structure,the thermal and magnetic properties of REX_(3) and their cobalt diluted alloys for revealing the mechanism of physical properties.The calculated bond length,melting point,and magnetic moment match the experimental ones very well.The study reveals that structural stability and physical properties of REX_(3) and their cobalt dilute alloys are strongly related to their valence electron structures.It is suggested that the structural stability and cohesive energy depend upon the covalent electron,the melting point is modulated by covalent electron pair,and the magnetic moment is originated from 3d magnetic electron.The ferromagnetic characteristics of Co-diluted REIn3 alloys is originated from the introduction of strong ferromagnetic Co atom,but,a competition is caused between the electron transition from valence electron to magnetic electron on d orbit and its reversal electron transformation with increasing the content of cobalt,which results in the formations of diluted magnetic Gd(In,Co)_(3) alloy with minor amount of cobalt and strong magnetic Nd(In,Co)_(3) alloy with doping more Co atoms.

文摘Aqueous sodium-ion batteries are known for poor rechargeability because of the competitive water decomposition reactions and the high electrode solubility.Improvements have been reported by saltconcentrated and organic-hybridized electrolyte designs,however,at the expense of cost and safety.Here,we report the prolonged cycling of ASIBs in routine dilute electrolytes by employing artificial electrode coatings consisting of NaX zeolite and NaOH-neutralized perfluorinated sulfonic polymer.The as-formed composite interphase exhibits a molecularsieving effect jointly played by zeolite channels and size-shrunken ionic domains in the polymer matrix,which enables high rejection of hydrated Na^(+)ions while allowing fast dehydrated Na^(+)permeance.Applying this coating to electrode surfaces expands the electrochemical window of a practically feasible 2 mol kg^(-1) sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate aqueous electrolyte to 2.70 V and affords Na_(2)MnFe(CN)_(6)//NaTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3) full cells with an unprecedented cycling stability of 94.9%capacity retention after 200 cycles at 1 C.Combined with emerging electrolyte modifications,this molecular-sieving interphase brings amplified benefits in long-term operation of ASIBs.

文摘Accurate nitrogen(N)nutrition diagnosis is essential for improving N use efficiency in crop production.The widely used critical N(Nc)dilution curve traditionally depends solely on agronomic variables,neglecting crop water status.With three-year field experiments with winter wheat,encompassing two irrigation levels(rainfed and irrigation at jointing and anthesis)and three N levels(0,180,and 270 kg ha1),this study aims to establish a novel approach for determining the Nc dilution curve based on crop cumulative transpiration(T),providing a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between N and water availability.The Nc curves derived from both crop dry matter(DM)and T demonstrated N concentration dilution under different conditions with different parameters.The equation Nc=6.43T0.24 established a consistent relationship across varying irrigation regimes.Independent test results indicated that the nitrogen nutrition index(NNI),calculated from this curve,effectively identifies and quantifies the two sources of N deficiency:insufficient N supply in the soil and insufficient soil water concentration leading to decreased N availability for root absorption.Additionally,the NNI calculated from the Nc-DM and Nc-T curves exhibited a strong negative correlation with accumulated N deficit(Nand)and a positive correlation with relative grain yield(RGY).The NNI derived from the Nc-T curve outperformed the NNI derived from the Nc-DM curve concerning its relationship with Nand and RGY,as indicated by larger R2 values and smaller AIC.The novel Nc curve based on T serves as an effective diagnostic tool for assessing winter wheat N status,predicting grain yield,and optimizing N fertilizer management across varying irrigation conditions.These findings would provide new insights and methods to improve the simulations of water-N interaction relationship in crop growth models.

文摘The influence of the slip mode on the microstructure evolution and compressive flow behavior at different strains in an extruded dilute Mg−0.5Bi−0.5Sn−0.5Mn alloy was analyzed through electron backscatter diffraction,X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,and hot compression tests.The results showed that at a low strain of 0.05,the basal,pyramidaland<c+a>slip modes were simultaneously activated.Nevertheless,at the middle stage of deformation(strain of 0.1,0.2 and 0.5),theslip mode was difficult to be activated and<c+a>slip mode became dominant.The deformation process between strains of 0.2 and 0.5 was primarily characterized by the softening effect resulting from the simultaneous occurrence of continuous dynamic recrystallization and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization.Ultimately,at strain of 0.8,a dynamic equilibrium was established,with the flow stress remaining constant due to the interplay between the dynamic softening brought about by discontinuous dynamic recrystallization and the work-hardening effect induced by the activation of the basalslip mode.
