By performing a detailed event study in terms of particle distribution maps and wave–particle variable correlation maps, we report that ULF waves observed by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN(MAVEN) spacecraft in the Martian foreshock can effectively modulate the suprathermal electron fluxes by the magnetic field fluctuations. In particular, the variations in electron fluxes at energies of ~10–100 eV are significant in the perpendicular direction, showing good relationships with changes in the wave field strength characterized by a correlation coefficient ~0.8. These findings demonstrate the generality of interactions of ULF waves with electrons, even at these low energies, highlighting the importance of such processes throughout the heliosphere.展开更多

The extended electron consists of a negatively charged core −q0which is surrounded by an assembly (an aggregation) of tiny static electric dipoles −q,+q. When subjected to an external field, electromagnetic forces are produced on these point charges to give rise to various properties of the electron. Three major properties of the electron that will be explored in this theory are: 1) the effective electric charge of the electron;2) the mechanism of the spin of the electron;3) the mechanism of radiation of the electron. The investigation of these properties leads to various innovative explanations for the generation of anti-particle, the orbital of the electron, the strong nuclear forces between nucleons … Other topics are also listed in the following content.展开更多

文摘The surface of a high-speed vehicle reentering the atmosphere is surrounded by plasma sheath.Due to the influence of the inhomogeneous flow field around the vehicle,understanding the electromagnetic properties of the plasma sheath can be challenging.Obtaining the electron density of the plasma sheath is crucial for understanding and achieving plasma stealth of vehicles.In this work,the relationship between electromagnetic wave attenuation and electron density is deduced theoretically.The attenuation distribution along the propagation path is found to be proportional to the integral of the plasma electron density.This result is used to predict the electron density profile.Furthermore,the average electron density is obtained using a back-propagation neural network algorithm.Finally,the spatial distribution of the electron density can be determined from the average electron density and the normalized derivative of attenuation with respect to the propagation depth.Compared to traditional probe measurement methods,the proposed approach not only improves efficiency but also preserves the integrity of the plasma environment.

文摘This paper discusses the influence of Sb/In ratio on the transport properties and crystal quality of the 200 nm InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)thin film.The Sb content of InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)thin film in all samples was verified by HRXRD of the symmetrical 004 reflections and asymmetrical 115 reflections.The calculation results show that the Sb component was 0.6 in the InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)thin film grown under the conditions of Sb/In ratio of 6 and As/In ratio of 3,which has the highest electron mobility(28560 cm^(2)/V·s)at 300 K.At the same time,the influence ofⅤ/Ⅲratio on the transport properties and crystal quality of Al_(0.2)In_(0.8)Sb/InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)quantum well heterostructures also has been investigated.As a result,the Al_(0.2)In_(0.8)Sb/InAs_(0.4)Sb_(0.6)quantum well heterostructure with a channel thickness of 30 nm grown under the conditions of Sb/In ratio of 6 and As/In ratio of 3 has a maximum electron mobility of 28300 cm^(2)/V·s and a minimum RMS roughness of 0.68 nm.Through optimizing the growth conditions,our samples have higher electron mobility and smoother surface morphology.

文摘Ultra-low-frequency(ULF) waves are ubiquitous in terrestrial and planetary environments, playing a crucial role in energy transfer and dissipation through wave–particle interactions within space plasmas. By performing a detailed event study in terms of particle distribution maps and wave–particle variable correlation maps, we report that ULF waves observed by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN(MAVEN) spacecraft in the Martian foreshock can effectively modulate the suprathermal electron fluxes by the magnetic field fluctuations. In particular, the variations in electron fluxes at energies of ~10–100 eV are significant in the perpendicular direction, showing good relationships with changes in the wave field strength characterized by a correlation coefficient ~0.8. These findings demonstrate the generality of interactions of ULF waves with electrons, even at these low energies, highlighting the importance of such processes throughout the heliosphere.

文摘High-mobility semiconductor nanotubes have demonstrated great potential for applications in high-speed transistors,single-charge detection,and memory devices.Here we systematically investigated the electronic properties of single-walled boron antimonide(BSb)nanotubes using first-principles calculations.We observed that rolling the hexagonal boron antimonide monolayer into armchair(ANT)and zigzag(ZNT)nanotubes induces compression and wrinkling effects,significantly modifying the band structures and carrier mobilities through band folding andπ^(*)-σ^(*)hybridization.As the chiral index increases,the band gap and carrier mobility of ANTs decrease monotonically,where electron mobility consistently exceeds hole mobility.In contrast,ZNTs exhibit a more complex trend:the band gap first increases and then decreases,and the carrier mobility displays oscillatory behavior.In particular,both ANTs and ZNTs could exhibit significantly higher carrier mobilities compared to hexagonal monolayer and zinc-blende BSb,reaching 10^(-3)-10^(-7) cm^(-2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1).Our findings highlight strong curvature-induced modifications in the electronic properties of single-walled BSb nanotubes,demonstrating the latter as a promising candidate for high-performance electronic devices.

文摘Interface modulation is an important pathway for highly efficient electromagnetic wave absorption.Herein,tailored interfaces between Fe_(3)O_(4)particles and the hexagonal-YFeO_(3)(h-YFeO_(3))framework were constructed via facile self-assembly.The resulting interfa-cial electron rearrangement at the heterojunction led to enhanced dielectric and magnetic loss synergy.Experimental results and density function theory(DFT)simulations demonstrate a transition in electrical properties from a half-metallic monophase to metallic Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)composites,emphasizing the advantages of the formed heterointerface.The transformation of electron behavior is also accompan-ied by a redistribution of electrons at the Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)heterojunction,leading to the accumulation of localized electrons around the Y-O-Fe band bridge,consequently enhancing the polarization.A minimum reflection loss of-34.0 dB can be achieved at 12.0 GHz and 2.0 mm thickness with an effective bandwidth of 3.3 GHz due to the abundant interfaces,enhanced polarization,and rational impedance.Thus,the synergistic effects endow the Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)composites with high performance and tunable functional properties for efficient electromagnetic absorption.
文摘This theory proposes an extended model of the electron based on the image of the screened electron in the concept of vacuum polarization of QED. The extended electron consists of a negatively charged core −q0which is surrounded by an assembly (an aggregation) of tiny static electric dipoles −q,+q. When subjected to an external field, electromagnetic forces are produced on these point charges to give rise to various properties of the electron. Three major properties of the electron that will be explored in this theory are: 1) the effective electric charge of the electron;2) the mechanism of the spin of the electron;3) the mechanism of radiation of the electron. The investigation of these properties leads to various innovative explanations for the generation of anti-particle, the orbital of the electron, the strong nuclear forces between nucleons … Other topics are also listed in the following content.

文摘The electronic structure,elasticity,and magnetic properties of the Mn_(2)XIn(X=Fe,Co)full-Heusler compounds are comprehensively investigated via first-principles calculations.The calculated elastic constants indicate that both Mn_(2)FeIn and Mn_(2)Co In possess ductility.At the optimal lattice constants,the magnetic moments are found to be 1.40μB/f.u.for Mn_(2)FeIn and 1.69μB/f.u.for Mn_(2)CoIn.Under the biaxial strain ranging from-2%to 5%,Mn_(2)FeIn demonstrates a remarkable variation in the spin polarization,spanning from-2%to 74%,positioning it as a promising candidate for applications in spintronic devices.Analysis of the electronic structure reveals that the change in spin polarization under strain is due to the shift of the spin-down states at the Fermi surface.Additionally,under biaxial strain,the magnetic anisotropy of Mn_(2)FeIn undergoes a transition of easy-axis direction.Utilizing second-order perturbation theory and electronic structure analysis,the variation in magnetic anisotropy with strain can be attributed to changes of d-orbital states near the Fermi surface.
文摘Objective:To enhance the reading skills of clinical pathology residents,it is essential to establish a well-structured electronic pathology reading library.Methods:In accordance with the Resident Standardization Training Content and Standards(2022 Edition),clinical pathology residents are required to master pathological diagnoses across 11 systems:skin,head and neck,mediastinum and respiratory,digestive,urinary and male reproductive,female reproductive and breast,lymphatic and hematopoietic,bone and soft tissue,cardiovascular,central nervous,and endocrine diseases.Senior pathologists specializing in each subspecialty selected classic pathological slides,which were systematically scanned and compiled into an electronic pathology library.Results:A questionnaire survey was conducted to gather feedback on the electronic pathology reading library.Residents generally found it to be convenient,efficient,and conducive to learning.Conclusion:Training in clinical pathology diagnosis is a core component of standardized resident training.The electronic pathology reading library has been well-received and recognized by resident doctors.However,further efforts are needed to explore diverse teaching methods that align with modern educational approaches,ultimately contributing to the development of highly skilled resident doctors.

文摘The essential photoprotective role of proton gradient regulation 5(PGR5)-dependent cyclic electron flow(CEF)has been reported in Arabidopsis,rice,and algae.However,its functional assessment has not been performed in tomato yet.In this study,we focused on elucidate the function of SlPGR5 and SlPGR5-like photosynthetic phenotype 1(PGRL1)in tomato.We performed RNA interference and found that SlPGR5/SlPGRL1-suppressed transformants exhibited extremely low CO_(2)assimilation capacity,their photosystem I(PSI)and PSII were severely photoinhibited and chloroplasts were obviously damaged.The SlPGR5/SlPGRL1-suppressed plants almost completely inhibited CEF and Y(ND),and PSII photoinhibition may be directly related to the inability to produce sufficient proton motive force to induce NPQ.The transgenic plants overexpressing SlPGR5 and SlPGRL1 driven by 35S promoter capable alleviate photoinhibition of plants under low night temperature.The transcriptomic and proteomic analyses suggested that the nuclear gene transcription and turnover of chloroplast proteins,including the plastoglobule-related proteins,were closely related to SlPGR5/SlPGRL1 pathway dependent CEF.The bridge relationship between CEF and chloroplast quality maintenance was a novel report to our knowledge.In conclusion,these results revealed the regulatory mechanism of the SlPGR5/SlPGRL1 pathway in photoprotection and maintenance of chloroplast function in tomato,which is crucial for reduce yield loss,especially under adverse environmental conditions.
文摘Semiconductor-cocatalyst interfacial electron transfer has widely been considered as a fast step occurring on picosecond-microsecond timescale in photocatalytic reaction.However,the formed potential barriers severely slow this interfacial electronic process by thermionic emission.Although trap-assisted charge recombination can transfer electrons from semiconductor to cocatalyst and can even be evident under weak illumination,the parallel connection with thermionic emission makes the photocatalytic photon utilization encounter a minimum along the variation of light intensity.By this cognition,the light-intensity-dependent photocatalytic behaviors can be predicted by simulating the photoinduced semiconductor-cocatalyst interfacial electron transfer that mainly determines the reaction rate.We then propose a(photo)electrochemical method to evaluate the time constants for occurring this interfacial electronic process in actual photocatalytic reaction without relying on extremely high photon flux that is required to generate discernible optical signal in common instrumental methods based on ultrafast pulse laser.The evaluated decisecond-second timescale can accurately guide us to develop certain strategies to facilitate this rate-determining step to improve photon utilization.
