Such a material can provide a shortcut to various novel topological quantum effects but remained elusive experimentally for a long time. Here we report the experimental realization of thin films of an intrinsic magnetic TI, MnBi2Te4, by alternate growth of a Bi2Te3 quintuple layer and a MnTe bilayer with molecular beam epitaxy. The material shows the archetypical Dirac surface states in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and is demonstrated to be an antiferromagnetic topological insulator with ferromagnetic surfaces by magnetic and transport measurements as well as first-principles calculations. The unique magnetic and topological electronic structures and their interplays enable the material to embody rich quantum phases such as quantum anomalous Hall insulators and axion insulators at higher temperature and in a well-controlled way.展开更多

The new class of PAHy-based nanogels was prepared by the crossing-link reaction of poly-α, β-polyasparthydrazide(PAHy) chains and 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid(DTDPA) consisting of a redox-responsive chain network. This particle highlights recent efforts in introducing a disulfide bond to drug delivery nanogel by DTDPA,and the increased release properties of complex nanogels produced excellent glutathione(GSH)-sensitivity and significant anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy. The PAHy-based nanogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), dynamic light scattering(DLS)(nano-particle size ~200 nm), UV–vis spectrometry, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and differential scanning calorimetric(DSC). PAHy-based nanogels are promising controlledrelease carriers for the tumor-targeting delivery of the anticancer agent 5-Fluorouridine.展开更多

文摘具有四面体钴和八面体钴的Co_(2)VO_(4)在电催化和电池领域已取得重要进展.然而,金属-金属之间强的相互作用会降低活性物质的电导率,又会影响表面反应活性,因此同时提升超级电容器活性、电导率和稳定性具有挑战性.本工作利用锌-钴金属有机骨架(ZnCo-MOF)的离子交换合成了具有高比表面的尖晶石结构CoZn_(0.5)V_(1.5)O_(4).密度泛函理论计算表明,用锌取代过渡金属可以减少过渡金属之间的相互作用,使π^(*)轨道(V-O)和半满的a 1 g轨道下移至费米能级附近,从而提高CoZn_(0.5)V_(1.5)O_(4)的电导率和稳定性.作为超级电容器电极,CoZn_(0.5)V_(1.5)O_(4)具有较高的循环稳定性(18,000次循环后电容保持率为99.4%)和比容量(1 mA cm^(-2)时为1100 mF cm^(-2)).这项工作为设计过渡金属八面体和四面体的位置以提高材料的电化学性能提供了可能性.
