Here, we demonstrate the achievement of 8-inch freestanding GaN substrates grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. Critical to this achievement is the improvement in gas-flow uniformity, which ensures exceptional thickness homogeneity and enables the crack-free growth of GaN. After laser lift-off(LLO) separation, the freestanding GaN substrate exhibits superior crystal quality, evidenced by full width at half maximum values of 68 and 54 arcsec for X-ray diffraction rocking curves of(002) and(102) planes, alongside a low dislocation density of 1.6 × 106 cm-2. This approach establishes a robust pathway for the production of large-size GaN substrates, which are essential for advancing next-generation power electronics and high-efficiency photonics.展开更多

摘要The absence of large-size gallium nitride(GaN) substrates with low dislocation density remains a primary bottleneck for advancing GaN-based devices. Here, we demonstrate the achievement of 8-inch freestanding GaN substrates grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. Critical to this achievement is the improvement in gas-flow uniformity, which ensures exceptional thickness homogeneity and enables the crack-free growth of GaN. After laser lift-off(LLO) separation, the freestanding GaN substrate exhibits superior crystal quality, evidenced by full width at half maximum values of 68 and 54 arcsec for X-ray diffraction rocking curves of(002) and(102) planes, alongside a low dislocation density of 1.6 × 106 cm-2. This approach establishes a robust pathway for the production of large-size GaN substrates, which are essential for advancing next-generation power electronics and high-efficiency photonics.

摘要In this study,we use observations from the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry(SABER)instrument onboard the Thermosphere–Ionosphere–Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics(TIMED)satellite to develop and apply a new local-time binning method to investigate the long-term evolution of mesospheric water vapor at high latitudes.The proposed method accounts for the gradual local-time drift of the SABER orbit by aligning seasonal observation windows and selecting samples observed at similar local times.This approach minimizes tidal aliasing and ensures more consistent sampling,yielding more reliable estimates of long-term water vapor trends at high latitudes.The results show that drying signals primarily appear in the polar regions.However,in the southern hemisphere,a drying trend is observed only in autumn,whereas winter and summer mainly show moistening trends.In contrast,the northern hemisphere exhibits drying signals in the polar regions during all seasons,showing a clear seasonal asymmetry.Additionally,the water vapor trend in the northern hemisphere is particularly pronounced in February(late winter),with moistening reaching up to+2.0 ppmv.The winter in the southern hemisphere(July–August)also shows moistening,but the trend is still weaker than in the northern hemisphere.These differences highlight the strong moistening trend in the northern hemisphere during winter and underscore the significant asymmetry in seasonal water vapor changes between the two hemispheres.These findings emphasize the limitations of water vapor trend estimates across different seasons and latitudes.Moreover,they provide new insights into the spatiotemporal variability associated with tidal structures,underscoring the importance of optimizing local-time sampling strategies for reliable long-term trend detection.

摘要In a dissipative Rydberg vapor,the interplay of many-body effects and non-Hermiticity gives rise to a Liouvillian exceptional structure,where exceptional arcs merge at a higher-order exceptional point of the Liouvillian superoperator.Spectral features of the exceptional structure naturally give rise to critical dynamics,which have interesting implications for experiments.In this work,we study the response of the system to perturbations near the Liouvillian exceptional structure,and evaluate the critical exponents.The results are consistent with those in linear non-Hermitian Hamiltonians,thus confirming the exceptional nature of the structures herein.We also discuss how these exponents can be measured experimentally.

摘要A single droplet heating,vaporization,and detailed combustion model is developed for pure p-xylene(p-C₈H₁₀)in hot air.p-C₈H₁₀is a combustible solvent in precursor solutions,for instance,with titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP)for the production of TiO₂nanoparticles.In the present one-dimensional mathematical model,a spherically symmetric p-xylene droplet in hot air is considered,resolving both the droplet(liquid phase)and the ambience(gas phase).The calculation of the vaporization rate includes the Stefan velocity at the droplet surface.In the gas phase,a detailed chemical reaction scheme is used.Elementary reactions are combined with complex reactions that account for the thermal decomposition of the p-xylene.The reaction mechanism comprises 93 chemical reactions among 25 species.Variable thermo-physical properties are used for both the gas and the liquid phase.A parameter study is conducted by varying the hot ambient gas temperature and the initial droplet size.In a hot ambience,initial expansion of the p-xylene droplet occurs due to droplet heating.After initial heating and vaporization,autoignition and combustion in the gas phase take place.In contrast to similar studies of single droplet combustion in the literature,the present simulations are not only carried to the end of the droplet lifetimes but continued until the gas flame extinguishes due to lack of combustible fuel.The vaporization rate constant,the autoignition,and the flame standoff distance are analyzed.
摘要Renewable light-driven photocatalytic CO2reduction(CO2RR)has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while producing value-added chemicals and fuels.However,the efficiency of solar-driven photocatalytic systems remains limited by rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers,which represents a critical bottleneck for technological progress.Herein,ultrasmall WO3 nanoclusters were successfully immobilized within the microporous framework of PCN-250 via a molecular cavity confinement strategy.Unlike pristine PCN-250,which primarily relies on monocomponent Fe3+active sites,the immobilization of WO3 nanoclusters enables the construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction.This unique architecture not only promotes efficient charge separation but also preserves the strong redox potentials of both components,thereby significantly enhancing the photocatalytic CO2reduction performance.High-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF-STEM)analysis confirms the effective confinement and encapsulation of WO3 nanoclusters within the PCN-250,where WO3 species self-assemble into ultrathin nanoclusters with diameters ranging from 0.8 to 1.4 nm.UV-Vis spectroscopy reveals that this nanoscale encapsulation markedly broadens the optical absorption,extending the absorption edge to 800 nm and thus spanning the entire visible light region.Using H2O vapor as a proton source,the optimized WO3@PCN-250-2(W@P-2)composite exhibits a CO2photoreduction rate of 516.07μmol·g-1,which is 9.1 times higher than that of pristine WO3.Mechanistic studies indicate a Z-scheme charge transfer pathway at the WO3/PCN-250 interface.In-situ FTIR spectroscopy identifies*COOH as the key intermediate during CO2reduction to CO.This work offers a valuable reference for designing Z-scheme heterojunctions toward efficient CO2photoreduction.
摘要The evaporation ofmicrometer and millimeter liquid drops,involving a liquid-to-vapor phase transition accompanied by mass and energy transfer through the liquid-vapor interface,is encountered in many natural and industrial processes as well as in numerous engineering applications.Therefore,understanding and predicting the dynamics of evaporating flows have become of primary importance.Recent efforts have been addressed using the method of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH),which has proven to be very efficient in correctly handling the intrinsic complexity introduced by the multiscale nature of the evaporation process.This paper aims to provide an overview of published work on SPH-based simulations related to the evaporation of drops suspended in static and convective environments and impacting on heated solid surfaces.After a brief theoretical account of the main ingredients necessary for the modeling of drop evaporation,the fundamental aspects of SPH are revisited along with the various existing formulations that have been implemented to address the challenges imposed by the physics of evaporating flows.In the following sections,the paper summarizes the results of SPH-based simulations of drop evaporation and ends with a few comments on the limitations of the current state-of-the-art SPHsimulations and future lines of research.

摘要In the context of convection-heating-based in situ oil shale retorting,fractures serve as primary pathways for fluid migration and product extraction.This study investigates the permeability and microstructural evolution of oil shale during water vapor injection in single-fracture and no-fracture scenarios.Three types of oil shale are investigated:intact oil shale,oil shale with a single straight crack,and oil shale with a single hydraulic crack.With increasing water vapor temperature,the permeabilities of the intact oil shale and oil shale with a fractured crack exhibit a trend of initial increase,followed by a decrease,and then a subsequent increase.However,the permeability of oil shale with a single straight crack consistently increases and exceeds that of oil shale with a fractured crack.The temperaturedependent permeability changes in fractured oil shale-a slight decrease in fracture cracks and a gradual increase in straight cracks-mainly occur in the range of 300℃-350℃.The permeability of oil shale with a straight crack is approximately three times that of oil shale with a fractured crack.This is attributed to the retention of viscous asphaltene and the frictional resistance caused by the rough fracture structure.For the oil shale with a single crack,the crack permeability has a dominant influence on the overall permeability of the rock.The contribution of the permeability of the straight crack exceeds 94.6%,while that of the permeability of the fractured crack is greater than 86.1%.The disparity in the contribution of these two crack structures is evident at 350℃-550℃.

摘要Solar-driven interface evaporation with high solar-to-steam conversion efficiency has shown great potential in seawater desalination.However,due to the influence of latent heat and condensation efficiency,the water yield from solar-driven interface evaporation remains insufficient,posing a significant challenge that requires resolution.In this work,we designed a dual-mode high-flux seawater desalination device that combines solar-driven interface evaporation and capacitive desalination.By utilizing coupled desalination materials exhibiting both photothermal conversion and capacitance activity,the device demonstrated photothermal evaporation rates of 1.41 and 0.97 kg m-2h-1for condensate water yield under one-sun irradiation.Additionally,the device exhibited a salt adsorption capacity of up to48 mg g-1and a salt adsorption rate of 2.1 mg g-1min-1.In addition,the salt adsorption capacity increased by approximately 32%under one-sun irradiation.Furthermore,photo-enhanced capacitive desalination performance was explored through numerical simulations and theoretical calculations.Theoretical calculations and characterizations confirmed that the defect energy levels formed by the introduction of sulfur vacancies can effectively widen the light absorption range,improve photothermal conversion performance,and stimulate more photoelectrons to participate in capacitive desalination.Concurrently,the electron distribution state of molybdenum disulfide with sulfur vacancies and surface defect sites contributes to ion/electron transport at the solid-liquid interface.This work provides a novel pathway for integrating solar vapor generation with other low-energy desalination technologies.

摘要Graphene-metal based materials have been utilized in lithium-sulfur(Li–S)batteries owing to their integrated functionalities thus far.However,their synthesis has predominantly relied on wet-chemistry routes,which limited their practical activity in Li–S reaction systems.In this study,we introduce a chemical vapor deposition(CVD)-triggered dry-chemistry approach for the preparation of graphene-cobalt(Co)based catalysts.The versatile CVD technique provides a dry and controllable reaction environment,effectively pledging the compact and clean catalytic interfaces between graphene and Co-based components.Additionally,programmed reactions introduce defects such as vacancies and nitrogen heteroatoms into the catalysts.Notably,the graphene layer number and Co valence state can be delicately manipulated by altering the CVD reaction temperature.Specifically,few-layer graphene wrapped Co/Co3O4(FGr-Co/Co3O4)prepared at 450℃shows higher catalytic activity than the multi-layer graphene wrapped Co/CoO(MGr-Co/CoO)synthesized at 550℃,attributed to its comprehensive control of clean interface,valence distribution range and defects.Leveraging these advantages,the battery with FGr-Co/Co3O4shows favorable working stability with a degradation rate of only 0.08%over 500 cycles at 1.0 C.Furthermore,under an elevated sulfur loading of 6.1 mg cm–2,the battery harvests a remarkable areal capacity of 5.9 mA h cm–2along with stable cyclic operation.

摘要Ruthenium(Ru)-based chalcogenide(S,Se)is a promising material in various fields,such as optics,photoelectrodes,and electrocatalysis,owing to its suitable bandgap for generating charge carriers under light illumination ranging from visible to near-infrared(NIR)and its high absorption coefficient.In this study,we report the synthesis of Ru Se2thin films by chemical vapor deposition(CVD)with a bandgap matching the NIR region at 0.52 e V.Further,we demonstrated Ru S2xSe2-2xalloy films using the post-sulfurization process after CVD Ru Se2with a tunable bandgap from 0.52 to 1.39 e V depending on sulfur composition.Remarkably,Ru S2xSe2-2xalloy film metal–semiconductor–metal(MSM)photodetector sulfurized at 500°C,with a 0.75 e V bandgap,exhibits enhanced broad absorption across NIR spectral ranges,suppressed dark current and high photoresponsivity in NIR wavelengths range even at zero-bias.We believe the bandgaptunable Ru S2xSe2-2xthin film through an efficient deposition method could be suitable for various optoelectronic applications.

摘要Precipitation isotopes(δ18O and δ2H)are closely related to meteorological conditions for precipitation generation and the initial state of water vapor source areas,and are essential to the study of the regional hydrological cycle.The deuterium excess(d-excess)indicates deviation in isotope fractionation during evaporation and can trace water vapor sources.This study analyzed 443 precipitation samples collected from the Gannan Plateau,China in 2022 to assess precipitation isotope variations and their driving factors.Water vapor sources were evaluated using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory(HYSPLIT),Concentration Weighted Trajectory(CWT),and Potential Source Contribution Factor(PSCF)models.Results showed that precipitation isotope values showed significant spatial and temporal variations on the Gannan Plateau.Temporally,precipitation isotope values peaked in June(when evaporation dominated)and minimized in March(depletion effect of air masses in the westerly wind belt).Spatially,the isotope values showed a distribution pattern of"high in the east and low in the west",which was mainly regulated by the differences in altitude and local meteorological conditions.Compared with the global meteoric water line(GMWL)with equation of δ2H=8.00δ18O+10.00,the slope and intercept of local meteoric water line(LMWL)for precipitation on the Gannan Plateau were smaller(7.49 and 7.63,respectively),reflecting the existence of a stronger secondary evaporation effect under the clouds in the region.The sources of water vapor on the Gannan Plateau showed significant seasonality and spatial heterogeneity.Specifically,the westerly belt and monsoon were the main water vapor transport paths at each sampling point,with Central Asian continental water vapor dominating in spring(53.49%),Indian Ocean water vapor dominating in summer(52.53%),Atlantic Ocean water vapor dominating in autumn(46.74%),and Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea water vapor dominating in winter(42.30%and 33.68%,respectively).Changes in the intensity of convective activity and Outgoing Longwave Radiation(OLR)affected the enrichment of isotopic values,which exhibited the same change trends as δ18O.During the precipitation process,the δ18O value first decreased and then increased.During the initial and final stages of precipitation process,precipitation was mainly influenced by continental air masses,while during the middle stage,it was controlled by marine air masses.The systematic research on precipitation isotopes and water vapor sources is important for climate change research and extreme precipitation prediction on the Gannan Plateau and other similar areas.

摘要Coating techniques are efficient routes to modify surface property of composite membranes for enhanced membrane separations.However,it remains challenge to deposit continuous inorganic layers on hollow fiber substrates.This study combines surface segregation with physical vapor deposition(PVD)to construct intensified TiO2layers on polyether sulfone(PES)hollow fiber substrates.During membrane fabrication,polyethylene-polypropylene glycol(F127)is used as surface segregation agent in casting solution,which enables PES hollow fibers with abundant hydroxy groups,thus improving the compatibility between PES and vaporized TiO2.The obtained PES/F127@TiO2membranes exhibit tight TiO2layers with tunable thickness,high mechanical strength,narrowed pore size and enhanced hydrophilicity.Moreover,the optimized PES/F127@TiO2membranes show competitive antifouling performances in water treatment,with a water permeability up to 97 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1and bovine serum albumin(BSA)rejection of~99%.This work is expected to provide a material design idea to deposit functional layers on polymers for fortified performances.

摘要Drought significantly constrains vegetation growth and reduces terrestrial carbon sinks.Currently,the spatiotemporal patterns and mechanisms of the differential impacts of soil and meteorological droughts on vegetation productivity remain inadequately understood.In this study,we analyzed soil moisture(SM),vapor pressure deficit(VPD),and gross primary productivity(GPP)to investigate their spatiotemporal patterns and the combined effects on GPP over China.The results revealed that:(1)Soil drought and meteorological drought generally exhibited temporally synchronous trends across China.(2)GPP was predominantly affected by the combined and synchronous effects of both SM and VPD,although their effects displayed directional variability differences in certain regions.(3)SM demonstrated a greater relative importance on GPP than VPD across more than half of the regions in China,whereas deciduous broadleaf forests were the only vegetation type primarily affected by VPD.(4)Under the lag effects,both SM and VPD exhibited bidirectional Granger causality with GPP,with the interaction between VPD and GPP proving more pronounced than that of SM.Our research provides valuable insights into the mechanisms through which SM and VPD influence GPP,contributing to improved predictions vegetation productivity and implementing ecological restoration.
