The conductance of a nanopore system mainly consists of the contribution of the pore and access region, and the latter becomes dominant when the nanopore thickness gradually decreases to atomic layer thickness. Based on the existing model of nanopore resistance, a simplified model which describes the relative current blockade during the X-DNA translocation through the nanopores is deduced to quantitatively present the relationship between nanopore thickness and relative current blockade. Results show that the relative current blockade is effectively increased by reducing the nanopore diameter but it decreases with the decreasing nanopore thickness. A two-stage schematic is proposed to increase the relative current blockade by setting a much smaller resistance region. Experimental results show a 21. 9% increase in the relative current blockade with the proposed schematic.展开更多

A two-dimensional model for the gas flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer was coupled to the gas-phase reaction and surface reaction mechanism for the deposition of polycrystalline silicon from trichlorosilane （TCS）-hydrogen system. The model was verified by comparing the simulated growth rate with the experimental and numerical data in the open literature. Computed results in the reactors indicate that the deposition characteristics are closely related to the momentum, thermal and mass boundary layer thickness. To yield higher deposition rate, there should be higher concentration of TCS gas on the substrate, and there should also be thinner boundary layer of HCl gas so that HCl gas could be pushed away from the surface of the substrate immediately.展开更多

The correlation coefficients between these traits were calculated using SAS program. Fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length, neck length, ostiolium width, abscission of the stalk from the twig, ease of peeling, fruit skin cracks, thickness of the fruit skin, texture of skin, fruit ribs, fruit internal cavity, TSS （total soluble solids）, pH, acidity, TSS/acidity, trunk diameter, shoot length, yield per tree were traits examined in the study. According to five-year data, fruit weight was found to have positive correlation by fruit diameter （r = 0.92; P 〈 0.01）, fruit length （r = 0.81; P 〈 0.01）, neck length （r = 0.35; P 〈 0.01）, ostiolium width （r = 0.23; P 〈 0.01）, trunk diameter （r = 0.26; P 〈 0.01）, fruit skin cracks （r = 0.26; P 〈 0.01） and negative correlation by TSS （r = -0.26; P 〈 0.01） and fruit ribs （r = -0.21; P 〈 0.01）. Relations between some traits such as ostiolium width, abscission of the stalk from the twig, ease of peeling, fruit skin cracks, texture of skin and fruit ribs are deviated based on the years. Some relationships between fig fruit characteristics exist, which may help researchers to solve some problems such as ostiolium width and fruit skin cracking. These studies may contribute to producing fruit with a good quality and help to evaluate new cultivars.展开更多

This indicates that the low biases in the RH partially account for the errors in the AOD. The AOD is recalculated based on the model aerosol concentrations and the reanalysis humidity data. Improving the mean value of the RH increases the multi-model annual mean AOD by 45% in southern China and by 33% in June–August in northern China. This method of improving the AOD is successful in most of the ACCMIP models, but it is unlikely to be successful in GISS-E2-R, in which the plot of its AOD efficiency against RH strongly deviates from the rest of the models. The effect of the improvement in the modeled RH on the AOD depends on the concentration of aerosols. The shape error in the frequency distribution of the RH is likely to be more important than the error in the mean value of the RH, but this requires further research.展开更多

Anthropogenic aerosol concentrations （inorganic ＋ carbonaceous） were higher in March 2006 and 2008, whereas soil dust reached its highest levels in March 2006 and 2010, resulting in stronger aerosol radiative forcings in these periods. The domain and five-year （2006-10） monthly mean concentrations of anthropogenic and dust aerosols, AOD, and radiative forcings at the surface （SURF） and at the top of the atmosphere （TOA） in March were 2.4 μg m 3 13.1 lag m^-3, 0.18, -19.0 W m^-2, and -7.4 W m^-2, respectively. Heterogeneous reactions led to an increase of total inorganic aerosol concentration; however, the ambient inorganic aerosol concentration decreased, resulting in a smaller AOD and weaker aerosol radiative forcings. In March 2006 and 2010, the changes in ambient inorganic aerosols, AOD, and aerosol radiative forcings were more evident. In terms of the domain and five-year averages, the total inorganic aerosol concentrations increased by 13.7% （0.17 μg m^-3） due to heterogeneous reactions, but the ambient inorganic aerosol concentrations were reduced by 10.5% （0.13 lag m-3）. As a result, the changes in AOD, SURF and TOA radiative forcings were estimated to be -3.9% （-0.007）, -1.7% （0.34 W m^-2）, and -4.3% （0.34 W m^-2）, respectively, in March over East Asia.展开更多

Theoretical results indicate that the low electric field results in the decrease of the average polarization with the increase of the relative thickness of SrTi03 layer, and the high electric field has an opposite effect on it. Moreover, the electroealoric effect strongly depends on the electric field. The low electric field and the small field change can lead to a maximum of the electrocaloric effect, meanwhile the high electric field or the large field change results in the opposite trend.展开更多

The visibility of 2-D flakes is very sensitive to the thickness of the SiO_2 layer （hsiO_2）, which can not be determined precisely after the deposit of 2-D flakes. Here, we demonstrated a simple, fast and nondestructive tech- nique to precisely determine hsiO_2 of SiO_2 films on Si substrate only by optical contrast measurement with a typical micro-Raman confocal system. Because of its small lateral resolution down to the micrometer scale, this tech- nique can be used to access hsiO_2 on SiO_2/Si substrate that has been partially covered by 2-D crystal flakes, and then further determine the layer number of the 2-D crystal flakes. This technique can be extended to other dielectric multilayer substrates and the layer-number determination of 2-D crystal flakes on those substrates.展开更多

The performance of the ECT system was examined over a range of flow conditions.The experimental data were compared with the visual observations and existing correlations. Results indicated that the ECT system, with the linear back projection (LBP) algorithm, could be used to give an on-line qualitative image of the flow patterns. The Landweber iteration algorithm with optimal step length was implemented off-line to reconstruct high-resolution images. Then, the images were analyzed to obtain the film thickness of the annular flow. The experimental data compared well with the Nusselt's equation in low vapor velocity range, but showed an increasing deficiency with the increase of vapor velocity.展开更多

The self-limiting reaction of ALD endows the films with excellent uniformity and precise controllability. The thickness o f the tilms obtained by ALD can be controlled in an atom ic scale (0.1 nm) on a large-area substrate even with complex structures. Therefore, it has recently been employed to produce the two-dimensional (2D) materials like MoS2. In this mini-review, the research progress in ALD MoS2 is firstly summarized. Then the influences of precursors, substrates, temperature, and post-annealing treatm ent on the quality of ALD-MoS2 are presented. Moreover, the applications of the obtained MoS2 as an electrochemical catalysator are also described. Besides the perspective on the research of ALD of MoS2, the remaining challenges and promising potentials are also pointed out.展开更多

It was made by glass slides, polydimethylsiloxane （PDMS） pre-polymer, spacer and clips only, without any sophisticated equipment. It is easy to fabricate in any general biological and pharmaceutical laboratories. The stiffness gradient was characterized in terms of apparent Young＇s modulus by atomic force microscopy （AFM） and the Young＇s modulus along the gradient was found to be 8.5- 120 kPa, which is within the physiological relevant range. HeLa-C3 ceils were cultured on the gradient to study their morphological behavior according to the substrate stiffness. Furthermore, the drug efficiency of etoposide, an anti-cancer drug, was studied along the substrate stiffness gradient. It was found that HeLa-C3 cells cultured on the soft region of the gradient （8.5-11 kPa） are more sensitive to etoposide. We believe the proposed device could promote cell investigations and drug screenings on a substrate with comparable stiffness to the native tissue.展开更多

文摘The current blockade mechanism for λ -DNA translocation under electrical field is investigated through solid-state nanopores with different pore thicknesses. The conductance of a nanopore system mainly consists of the contribution of the pore and access region, and the latter becomes dominant when the nanopore thickness gradually decreases to atomic layer thickness. Based on the existing model of nanopore resistance, a simplified model which describes the relative current blockade during the X-DNA translocation through the nanopores is deduced to quantitatively present the relationship between nanopore thickness and relative current blockade. Results show that the relative current blockade is effectively increased by reducing the nanopore diameter but it decreases with the decreasing nanopore thickness. A two-stage schematic is proposed to increase the relative current blockade by setting a much smaller resistance region. Experimental results show a 21. 9% increase in the relative current blockade with the proposed schematic.

The effect of the improvement in the modeled RH on the AOD depends on the concentration of aerosols. The shape error in the frequency distribution of the RH is likely to be more important than the error in the mean value of the RH, but this requires further research.

文摘The spatial distributions and interannual variations of aerosol concentrations, aerosol optical depth （AOD）, aerosol direct radiative forcings, and their responses to heterogeneous reactions on dust surfaces over East Asia in March 2006-10 were investigated by utilizing a regional coupled climate-chemistry/aerosol model. Anthropogenic aerosol concentrations （inorganic ＋ carbonaceous） were higher in March 2006 and 2008, whereas soil dust reached its highest levels in March 2006 and 2010, resulting in stronger aerosol radiative forcings in these periods. The domain and five-year （2006-10） monthly mean concentrations of anthropogenic and dust aerosols, AOD, and radiative forcings at the surface （SURF） and at the top of the atmosphere （TOA） in March were 2.4 μg m 3 13.1 lag m^-3, 0.18, -19.0 W m^-2, and -7.4 W m^-2, respectively. Heterogeneous reactions led to an increase of total inorganic aerosol concentration; however, the ambient inorganic aerosol concentration decreased, resulting in a smaller AOD and weaker aerosol radiative forcings. In March 2006 and 2010, the changes in ambient inorganic aerosols, AOD, and aerosol radiative forcings were more evident. In terms of the domain and five-year averages, the total inorganic aerosol concentrations increased by 13.7% （0.17 μg m^-3） due to heterogeneous reactions, but the ambient inorganic aerosol concentrations were reduced by 10.5% （0.13 lag m-3）. As a result, the changes in AOD, SURF and TOA radiative forcings were estimated to be -3.9% （-0.007）, -1.7% （0.34 W m^-2）, and -4.3% （0.34 W m^-2）, respectively, in March over East Asia.

文摘In ambient condition,capillary forces are the major contributors to the adhesive forces between the tip of an atomic force microscope(AFM) and the sample.In general,capillary forces are thought to be related to water film thickness,contact time and relative humidity and so on.In this paper,an original analysis regarding the liquid bridge,based on the surface and interface thermodynamic theory,is proposed.The cases covered in the study include the capillary forces and temperature of liquid bridge for quickly drawn liquid bridge,and for nonvolatile liquid bridge.The study results show that variation in temperature may occur in the liquid bridge when it is stretched.

文摘A phenomenological thermodynamic theory is applied to investigate the effect of misfit strgin and electric field on the electrocaloric effect of P（VDF-TrFN）/SrTiO3 bilayer thin films. Theoretical results indicate that the low electric field results in the decrease of the average polarization with the increase of the relative thickness of SrTi03 layer, and the high electric field has an opposite effect on it. Moreover, the electroealoric effect strongly depends on the electric field. The low electric field and the small field change can lead to a maximum of the electrocaloric effect, meanwhile the high electric field or the large field change results in the opposite trend.

文摘SiO_2/Si substrate has been widely used to support two-dimensional （2-D） crystal flakes grown by chemical vapor deposition or prepared by micromechanical cleavage. The visibility of 2-D flakes is very sensitive to the thickness of the SiO_2 layer （hsiO_2）, which can not be determined precisely after the deposit of 2-D flakes. Here, we demonstrated a simple, fast and nondestructive tech- nique to precisely determine hsiO_2 of SiO_2 films on Si substrate only by optical contrast measurement with a typical micro-Raman confocal system. Because of its small lateral resolution down to the micrometer scale, this tech- nique can be used to access hsiO_2 on SiO_2/Si substrate that has been partially covered by 2-D crystal flakes, and then further determine the layer number of the 2-D crystal flakes. This technique can be extended to other dielectric multilayer substrates and the layer-number determination of 2-D crystal flakes on those substrates.
文摘An experimental study was performed to evaluate the suitability of using an electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) system to visualize the flow patterns, and to measure the film thickness of the annular flow in a two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT). The performance of the ECT system was examined over a range of flow conditions.The experimental data were compared with the visual observations and existing correlations. Results indicated that the ECT system, with the linear back projection (LBP) algorithm, could be used to give an on-line qualitative image of the flow patterns. The Landweber iteration algorithm with optimal step length was implemented off-line to reconstruct high-resolution images. Then, the images were analyzed to obtain the film thickness of the annular flow. The experimental data compared well with the Nusselt's equation in low vapor velocity range, but showed an increasing deficiency with the increase of vapor velocity.

文摘As a kind of specially modified chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atom ic layer deposition (ALD) has long been used to fabricate thin films. The self-limiting reaction of ALD endows the films with excellent uniformity and precise controllability. The thickness o f the tilms obtained by ALD can be controlled in an atom ic scale (0.1 nm) on a large-area substrate even with complex structures. Therefore, it has recently been employed to produce the two-dimensional (2D) materials like MoS2. In this mini-review, the research progress in ALD MoS2 is firstly summarized. Then the influences of precursors, substrates, temperature, and post-annealing treatm ent on the quality of ALD-MoS2 are presented. Moreover, the applications of the obtained MoS2 as an electrochemical catalysator are also described. Besides the perspective on the research of ALD of MoS2, the remaining challenges and promising potentials are also pointed out.

文摘In this work, we developed a simple method to fabricate a thickness-based continuous stiffness gradient for biological studies. It was made by glass slides, polydimethylsiloxane （PDMS） pre-polymer, spacer and clips only, without any sophisticated equipment. It is easy to fabricate in any general biological and pharmaceutical laboratories. The stiffness gradient was characterized in terms of apparent Young＇s modulus by atomic force microscopy （AFM） and the Young＇s modulus along the gradient was found to be 8.5- 120 kPa, which is within the physiological relevant range. HeLa-C3 ceils were cultured on the gradient to study their morphological behavior according to the substrate stiffness. Furthermore, the drug efficiency of etoposide, an anti-cancer drug, was studied along the substrate stiffness gradient. It was found that HeLa-C3 cells cultured on the soft region of the gradient （8.5-11 kPa） are more sensitive to etoposide. We believe the proposed device could promote cell investigations and drug screenings on a substrate with comparable stiffness to the native tissue.
