We report 75As-nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and nuclear quadrupole resonance(NQR)measurements on transition-metal arsenides LaRu2As2,KCa2Fe4As4F2,and A2Cr3As3.In the superconducting state of LaRu2As2,a Hebel–Slicht...We report 75As-nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and nuclear quadrupole resonance(NQR)measurements on transition-metal arsenides LaRu2As2,KCa2Fe4As4F2,and A2Cr3As3.In the superconducting state of LaRu2As2,a Hebel–Slichter coherence peak is found in the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 just below Tc,which indicates that LaRu2As2 is a full-gap superperconducor.For KCa2Fe4As4F2,antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are observed in the normal state.We further find that the anisotropy rate RAF=Tc 1/Tab 1 is small and temperature independent,implying that the low energy spin fluctuations are isotropic in spin space.Our results indicate that KCa2Fe4As4F2 is a moderately overdoped iron-arsenide high-temperature superconductor with a stoichiometric composition.For A2Cr3As3(A=Na,K,Rb,Cs),we calculate the electric field gradient by first-principle method and assign the 75As-NQR peaks to two crystallographically different As sites,paving the way for further NMR investigation.展开更多

The outer electrons of RE elements are within the valence shell 4f^(0-14)5d^(0-1)6s^2, which are involved in all chemical bonding features. We in this work found that the chemical bonding characteristics of 4f electrons are a kind of hybridizations, and classified them into three types of chemical bonding of 4f^(0-14)5d^(0-1)6s^2, furthermore, the coordination number ranging from 2 to 16 could thus be determined. We selected Y(NO_3)_3, La(NO_3)_3, Ce(NO_3)_3, YCl_3, LaCl_3, and CeCl_3 as examples to in-situ observe their IR spectra of chemical bonding behaviors of Y^(3+), La^(3+) and Ce^(3+) cations, which could show different chemical bonding modes of 4f and 5d electrons. In the present study, we obtained the direct criterion to confirm whether 4f electrons can participate in chemical bonding, that is, only when the coordination number of RE cations is larger than 9.展开更多

IOID and orbital cavernous hemangioma(CH) tissue samples underwent Bio-Plex multiplex cytokine detection. Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE) staining of all paraffin samples suggested the histological features of IOIDs, and expressions of IgG4 and IL-17 A in affected tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Among 40 IOID plasma samples, 52.5%(21/40) were positive for IgG4 and 25%(10/40) were positive for IgE. Overlapped IgG4 or IgE positive samples accounted for 22.5%(9/40). Therefore, IOID samples were separated into three groups. The IgE+/IgG4+ group had a relevantly lower level of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. IL-4(Th2 cell related), IL-10 and TGF-β1(Treg cell immunity related) were elevated in all three groups. Some of the Th17 cell related cytokines(i.e. IL-17 A/F, IL-25, IL-23, and IL-33) displayed higher expression levels in the IgE-/IgG4-group compared to the other two groups.CONCLUSION: We discovered an IgG4-IgE co-positive group as well as Th17 cell immune involvement in IgG4-IgE co-negative subgtroup in IOID for the first time. The pathogenesis of IOID could differ from different subgroups according to the IgG4 and IgE detection. Therefore, we recommend that, Treatment stratagy should be made according to the clinical assessment of IgG4-IgE and Th17 profile detection.展开更多

According to the simulation, we do not need to use the collimator to cut the beam and the beam angular resolution can be better than 0.05° in achromatic mode. In the present paper, the actual beam condition during the beam adjustment is listed. The accelerator can provide a 12C beam in achromatic mode and the angular resolution σ=0.7775 mrad±0.0030 mrad.展开更多
