In this work,the Au–O interactions in various surroundings were investigated by DFT calculations and compared with the Ag–O interactions. We have found the three points.First,only Au–O bond can be significantly strengthened by the linear O–Au–O structure. Second,the Au–O bond is always stronger than the Ag–O bond when the bonds are embedded in common surroundings. Third,the Au–O bond becomes weaker than the Ag–O bond when the number of neighboring Au atoms becomes large,because the Au–O interactions are suppressed by the presence of neighboring gold atoms. The origin of these three points can be attributed to wider spatial extension of d orbitals of gold,induced by strong relativistic effects. The strong relativistic effects make nanogold with smaller coordinate numbers highly active due to the ease in forming strong Au–O bonds,especially for the O–Au–O bond,whereas gold atoms in bulk with larger coordination numbers chemically inert due to the strong suppression by neighboring gold atoms destabilizing the O–Au–O bond.展开更多

The calculation is based on the radiation transfer equation, with the reabsorption and reemission processes taken into account. The broadening effect contributes to the radial resolution of the measurement, and the calculation results indicate that it is -2 cm in the case of the central electron temperature 10 keV. A pseudo radial displacement of the obtained electron temperature profile occurs if the relativistic frequency down-shift effect is not taken into account in the determination of the emission layer position. The shift could be a few centimeters as the electron temperature increases, and this effect should be taken into account.展开更多

Based on the derived expression, the thermodynamic properties of the system at both high and low temperatures are given and the relativistic effect on the properties of the system is discussed. It shows that, in comparison with a nonrelativistic situation, the relativistic effect changes the influence of temperature on the thermodynamic properties of the system at high temperatures, and changes the influence of particle-number density on them at extremely low temperature. But the relativistic effect does not change the influence of the magnetic field and inter-particle interactions on the thermodynamic properties of the system at both high and extremely low temperatures.展开更多

Scalar relativistic effects are shown to be critical for the structural properties. The spin-orbit coupling effects are important for the calculated energies, but are much less important for other calculated ground-state properties of closed-shell UF6. We conclude through systematic investigations that ZORA- and RECP-based relativistic DPT methods are both appropriate for incorporating relativistic effects. Comparisons of different types of basis sets （Slater, Gaussian, and plane-wave types） and various levels of theoretical approximation of the exchange-correlation functionals were also made.展开更多

With the degree of freedom of the center of mass（CM） characterizing the collective quantum state of a macroscopic object（MO）,it is found that an MO consisting of N particles can decohere with a time scale of no more than p （√N）^-1. Here, the special relativity can induce the coupling of the collective motion mode and the relative motion modes in an order of 1/c^2, which intrinsically results in the above minimum decoherence.展开更多

In this work, some theoretical works on CO adsorp‐tion, O2 adsorption, atomic oxygen adsorption, formation of surface gold oxide films, reaction mechanisms of CO oxidation involving O2 reaction with CO and O2 dissociation before reacting with CO on gold surfaces and Au/metal oxide were summarized, and the influences of coordination number, charge transfer and relativity of gold on CO oxidation reaction were briefly reviewed. It was found that CO reaction mechanism depended on the systems with or without oxide and the strong relativistic effects might play an important role in CO oxidation reaction on gold catalysts. In particular, the relativistic effects are related to the unique behaviors of CO adsorption, O adsorption, O2 activation on gold surfaces, effects of coordination number and the wide gap between the chem‐ical inertness of bulk gold and high catalytic activity of nano gold. The present work helps us to understand the CO oxidation reaction mechanism on gold catalysts and the influence of relativistic effects on gold catalysis.展开更多

文摘We study how the decoherence of macroscopic objects originates intrinsically from the relativistic effect. With the degree of freedom of the center of mass（CM） characterizing the collective quantum state of a macroscopic object（MO）,it is found that an MO consisting of N particles can decohere with a time scale of no more than p （√N）^-1. Here, the special relativity can induce the coupling of the collective motion mode and the relative motion modes in an order of 1/c^2, which intrinsically results in the above minimum decoherence.

文摘Collective Thomson scattering is theoretically investigated with the inclusion of the relativistic correction of （v/c）2. The correction is rather small for the plasma parameters inferred from the spectra of the thermal electron plasma waves in the plasma. Since the full formula of the corrected result is rather complicated, a simplified one is derived for practical use, which is shown to be in good agreement with the un-simplified one.

文摘All of the experimentally known electronic states of the Cr group metal monoxides(Cr O,Mo O,and WO)have been presented in the paper.The optical spectra of the Cr O molecule have been investigated in the gas phase through a combination of the laser-induced fluorescence(LIF)excitation and single-vibronic-level(SVL)emission spectroscopy in the supersonic expansion.The rotational constants of the vibronic electronic states,including X^(5)Π_(-1)(v=0–3),B^(5)Π_(-1)(v=0–10),and B~5Π_1(v=1,5),and the vibrational constants of the spin–orbit components X^(5)Π_(-1,0,1)have been obtained.The molecular constants of the Mo O and WO molecules have been summarized by reviewing the previous spectroscopic studies,and a comprehensive energy level diagram of the Cr group metal monoxides has been constructed.By comparing the electronic configurations,bond lengths,and vibrational frequencies of all the transition metal monoxides in the ground electronic state,the significance of the relativistic effect in the bonding of the 5d transition metal monoxides has been discussed.The related spectroscopic data of the Cr O molecule are available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00085.

文摘Based on the relativistic hydrodynamic model of EM wave-spin plasmas interaction,the spin effects on the relativistic strong EM modes in magnetized plasma are investigated.The dispersion relations of the EM wave propagating parallel and perpendicular to the external magnetic field are obtained.Results show that the strong EM wave modes are affected by the time component of four-spin as well as the increase of electron effective mass.Especially in the case of EM wave propagating parallel to the external magnetic field,the time component of fourspin amplifies the influence of spin effects on the low-frequency modes obviously.

文摘It is crucial to understand the mechanism of low temperature CO oxidation reaction catalyzed by gold nanoparticles so as to find out the origin of the high catalytic reactivity and extend the indus‐trialization applications of nano gold catalysts. In this work, some theoretical works on CO adsorp‐tion, O2 adsorption, atomic oxygen adsorption, formation of surface gold oxide films, reaction mechanisms of CO oxidation involving O2 reaction with CO and O2 dissociation before reacting with CO on gold surfaces and Au/metal oxide were summarized, and the influences of coordination number, charge transfer and relativity of gold on CO oxidation reaction were briefly reviewed. It was found that CO reaction mechanism depended on the systems with or without oxide and the strong relativistic effects might play an important role in CO oxidation reaction on gold catalysts. In particular, the relativistic effects are related to the unique behaviors of CO adsorption, O adsorption, O2 activation on gold surfaces, effects of coordination number and the wide gap between the chem‐ical inertness of bulk gold and high catalytic activity of nano gold. The present work helps us to understand the CO oxidation reaction mechanism on gold catalysts and the influence of relativistic effects on gold catalysis.
