RESUMO

The emergence of one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures (1D vdWHs) opens up potential fields with unique properties, but precise synthesis remains a challenge. The utilization of mixed conductive types of carbon nanotubes as templates has imposed restrictions on the investigation of the electrical behavior and interlayer interaction of 1D vdWHs. In this study, we efficiently encapsulated silver iodide in high-purity semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (sSWCNTs), forming 1D AgI@sSWCNT vdWHs. We characterized the semiconductor-metal transition and increased the carrier concentration of individual AgI@sSWCNTs via sensitive dielectric force microscopy and confirmed the results through electrical device tests. The electrical behavior transition was attributed to an interlayer charge transfer, as demonstrated by Kelvin probe force microscopy. Furthermore, we showed that this method of synthesizing 1D heterostructures can be extended to other metal halides. This work opens the door for the further exploration of the electrical properties of 1D vdWHs.

RESUMO

Dielectric screening plays a vital role in determining physical properties at the nanoscale and affects our ability to detect and characterize nanomaterials using optical techniques. We study how dielectric screening changes electromagnetic fields and many-body effects in nanostructures encapsulated inside carbon nanotubes. First, we show that metallic outer walls reduce the scattering intensity of the inner tube by 2 orders of magnitude compared to that of air-suspended inner tubes, in line with our local field calculations. Second, we find that the dielectric shift of the optical transition energies in the inner walls is greater when the outer tube is metallic than when it is semiconducting. The magnitude of the shift suggests that the excitons in small-diameter inner metallic tubes are thermally dissociated at room temperature if the outer tube is also metallic, and in essence, we observe band-to-band transitions in thin metallic double-walled nanotubes.

RESUMO

Combining rare earth elements with the halide perovskite structure offers valuable insights into designing nonlead (Pb) luminescent materials. However, most of these compositions tend to form zero-dimensional (0D) networks of metal-halide polyhedra, with higher-dimensional (1D, 2D, and 3D) structures receiving relatively less exploration. Herein, we present synthesis and optical properties of Cs3CeCl6·3H2O, characterized by its unique 1D crystal structure. The conduction band minimum of Cs3CeCl6·3H2O becomes less localized as a result of the increased structural dimension, making it possible for the materials to achieve an efficient electrical injection. For both Cs3CeCl6·3H2O single crystals and nanocrystals, we also observed remarkable luminescence with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield and exceptional phase stability. Cs3CeCl6·3H2O single crystals demonstrate an X-ray scintillation light yield of 31900 photons/MeV, higher than that of commercial LuAG:Ce (22000 photons/MeV); electrically driven light-emitting diodes fabricated with Cs3CeCl6·3H2O nanocrystals yield the characteristic emission of Ce3+, indicating their potential use in next-generation violet-light-emitting devices.

RESUMO

CrSbSe3─the only experimentally validated one-dimensional (1D) ferromagnetic semiconductor─has recently attracted significant attention. However, all reported synthesis methods for CrSbSe3 nanocrystals are based on top-down methods. Here we report a template selection strategy for the bottom-up synthesis of CrSbSe3 nanoribbons. This strategy relies on comparing the formation energies of potential binary templates to the ternary target product. It enables us to select Sb2Se3 with the highest formation energy, along with its 1D crystal structure, as the template instead of Cr2Se3 with the lowest formation energy, thereby facilitating the transformation from Sb2Se3 to CrSbSe3 by replacing half of the Sb atoms in Sb2Se3 with Cr atoms. The as-prepared CrSbSe3 nanoribbons exhibit a length of approximately 5 µm, a width ranging from 80 to 120 nm, and a thickness of about 5 nm. The single CrSbSe3 nanoribbon presents typical semiconductor behavior and ferromagnetism, confirming the intrinsic ferromagnetism in the 1D CrSbSe3 semiconductor.

RESUMO

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are integral to contemporary energy storage, yet current anode material systems struggle to meet the increasing demand for extended range capabilities. This work introduces a novel composite anode material composed of one-dimensional 2H-phase tin disulfide (SnS2) nanoribbons enclosed within cavities of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SnS2@SWCNTs), achieved through precise atomic engineering. Employing aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy, we precisely elucidated the crystal structure of SnS2 within the confines of the SWCNTs. This deliberate design effectively addresses the inherent limitations of SnS2 as a lithium-ion anode material, including its low electrical conductivity, considerable volume expansion effects, and unstable solid electrolyte interface membrane. Testing confirmed that SnS2 transforms into the Li5Sn2 alloy phase after full lithiation and back to SnS2 after delithiation, showing excellent reversibility. The composite also benefits from edge effects, improving lithium storage through stronger binding and lower migration barriers, which were supported by calculations. This pioneering work advances high-performance anode materials for applications.

RESUMO

Transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTCs) offer remarkable opportunities for tuning electronic states through modifications in chemical composition, temperature, and pressure. Despite considerable interest in TMTCs, there remain significant knowledge gaps concerning the evolution of their electronic properties under compression. In this study, we employ experimental and theoretical approaches to comprehensively explore the high-pressure behavior of the electronic properties of TiS3, a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) semiconductor, across various temperature ranges. Through high-pressure electrical resistance and magnetic measurements at elevated pressures, we uncover a distinctive sequence of phase transitions within TiS3, encompassing a transformation from an insulating state at ambient pressure to the emergence of an incipient superconducting state above 70 GPa. Our findings provide compelling evidence that superconductivity at low temperatures of ∼2.9 K is a fundamental characteristic of TiS3, shedding new light on the intriguing high-pressure electronic properties of TiS3 and underscoring the broader implications of our discoveries for TMTCs in general.

RESUMO

Cardiovascular aging is strongly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Moreover, health and lifestyle factors may accelerate age-induced alterations, such as increased arterial stiffness and wall dilation, beyond chronological age, making the clinical assessment of cardiovascular aging an important prompt for preventative action. Carotid flow waveforms contain information about age-dependent cardiovascular properties, and their ease of measurement via noninvasive Doppler ultrasound (US) makes their analysis a promising tool for the routine assessment of cardiovascular aging. In this work, the impact of different aging processes on carotid waveform morphology and derived indexes is studied in silico, with the aim of establishing the clinical potential of a carotid US-based assessment of cardiovascular aging. One-dimensional (1-D) hemodynamic modeling was employed to generate an age-specific virtual population (VP) of N = 5,160 realistic carotid hemodynamic waveforms. The resulting VP was statistically validated against in vivo aging trends in waveforms and indexes from the literature, and simulated waveforms were studied in relation to age and underlying cardiovascular parameters. In our study, the carotid flow augmentation index (FAI) significantly increased with age (with a median increase of 50% from the youngest to the oldest age group) and was strongly correlated to local arterial stiffening (r = 0.94). The carotid pulsatility index (PI), which showed less pronounced age variation, was inversely correlated with the reflection coefficient at the carotid branching (r = -0.88) and directly correlated with carotid net forward wave energy (r = 0.90), corroborating previous literature where it was linked to increased risk of cerebrovascular damage in the elderly. There was a high correlation between corrected carotid flow time (ccFT) and cardiac output (CO) (r = 0.99), which was not affected by vascular age. This study highlights the potential of carotid waveforms as a valuable tool for the assessment of cardiovascular aging.NEW & NOTEWORTHY An age-specific virtual population was generated based on a 1-D model of the arterial circulation, including newly defined literature-based specific age variations in carotid vessel properties. Simulated carotid flow/velocity waveforms, indexes, and age trends were statistically validated against in vivo data from the literature. A comprehensive study of the impact of aging on carotid flow waveform morphology was performed, and the mechanisms influencing different carotid indexes were elucidated. Notably, flow augmentation index (FAI) was found to be a strong indicator of local carotid stiffness.

RESUMO

Development of one dimensional covalent organic frameworks (1D-COFs) with potential in light absorption and catalysis is still challenging, due to their rapid interpenetration to form 2D and 3D porous structures. Here we report a successful synthesis of imine-linked 1D covalent organic ribbons (COR), using two simple linear building blocks 1,4-Benzenediamine (Bda) and [2,2'-Bipyridine]-5,5'-dicarbaldehyde (Bpy). The obtained 1D structure with nanorod morphology could keep its physicochemical characteristic properties when it is perpendicular to the surface of graphene oxide (GO) sheets (1D-p-2D structure). Due to an AB π- π stacking and efficient charge transfer between perpendicular 1D COR and GO sheets, the obtained nanocomposite showed strong visible light absorbance (400-700 nm) with coefficient of 4.400 M-1 cm-1 and decreased recombination rate of photogenerated reactive species by 92 %. The strategy of 1D-p-2D light driven system greatly enhanced the photocatalytic activity in practical applications such as both oxidation and hydrogenation tandem reactions to a rate constant of higher than 0.02 min-1 . This study presents the first case of 1D covalent organic polymers grown perpendicularly on a carbon-based layer for boosting electron mobility through the junction between the two components.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Challenges persist in achieving automatic and efficient inflammation quantification using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. PURPOSE: To investigate an automatic artificial intelligence (AI) approach and an optimized dynamic MRI protocol for quantifying disease activity in RA in whole hands while excluding arterial pixels. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. SUBJECTS: Twelve RA patients underwent DCE-MRI with 27 phases for creating the AI model and tested on images with a variable number of phases from 35 RA patients. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3.0 T/DCE T1-weighted gradient echo sequence (mDixon, water image). ASSESSMENT: The model was trained with various DCE-MRI time-intensity number of phases. Evaluations were conducted for similarity between AI segmentation and manual outlining in 51 ROIs with synovitis. The relationship between synovial volume via AI segmentation with rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance imaging scoring (RAMRIS) across whole hands was then evaluated. The reference standard was determined by an experienced musculoskeletal radiologist. STATISTICAL TEST: Area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC), Dice and Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A minimum of 15 phases (acquisition time at least 2.5 minutes) was found to be necessary. AUC ranged from 0.941 ± 0.009 to 0.965 ± 0.009. The Dice score was 0.557-0.615. Spearman's correlation coefficients between the AI model and ground truth were 0.884-0.927 and 0.736-0.831, for joint ROIs and whole hands, respectively. The Spearman's correlation coefficient for the additional test set between the model trained with 15 phases and RAMRIS was 0.768. CONCLUSION: The AI-based classification model effectively identified synovitis pixels while excluding arteries. The optimal performance was achieved with at least 15 phases, providing a quantitative assessment of inflammatory activity in RA while minimizing acquisition time. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

RESUMO

Among two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MoTe2is predestined for phase-engineering applications due to the small difference in free energy between the semiconducting H-phase and metallic 1T'-phase. At the same time, the complete picture of the phase evolution originating from point defects in single-layer of semiconducting H-MoTe2via Mo6Te6nanowires to cubic molybdenum has not yet been reported so far, and it is the topic of the present study. The occurring phase transformations in single-layer H-MoTe2were initiated by 40-80 kV electrons in the spherical and chromatic aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscope and/or when subjected to high temperatures. We analyse the damage cross-section at voltages between 40 kV and 80 kV and relate the results to previously published values for other TMDs. Then we demonstrate that electron beam irradiation offers a route to locally transform freestanding single-layer H-MoTe2into one-dimensional (1D) Mo6Te6nanowires. Combining the experimental data with the results of first-principles calculations, we explain the transformations in MoTe2single-layers and Mo6Te6nanowires by an interplay of electron-beam-induced energy transfer, atom ejection, and oxygen absorption. Further, the effects emerging from electron irradiation are compared with those produced byin situannealing in a vacuum until pure molybdenum crystals are obtained at temperatures of about 1000 °C. A detailed understanding of high-temperature solid-to-solid phase transformation in the 2D limit can provide insights into the applicability of this material for future device fabrication.

RESUMO

Precisely distinguishing between malignant and benign lung tumors is pivotal for suggesting therapeutic strategies and enhancing prognosis, yet this differentiation remains a daunting task. The growth rates, metastatic potentials, and prognoses of benign and malignant tumors differ significantly. Developing specialized treatment protocols tailored to various tumor types is essential for enhancing patient survival outcomes. Employing laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in conjunction with a deep learning methodology, we attained a high-precision differential diagnosis of malignant and benign lung tumors. First, LIBS spectra of malignant tumors, benign tumors, and normal tissues were collected. The spectra were preprocessed and Z score normalized. Then, the intensities of the Mg II 279.6, Mg I 285.2, Ca II 393.4, Cu II 518.3, and Na I 589.6 nm lines were analyzed in the spectra of the three tissues. The analytical results show that the elemental lines have different contents in the three tissues and can be used as a basis for distinguishing between the three tissues. Finally, the RF-1D ResNet model was constructed by combining the feature importance assessment method of random forest (RF) and one-dimensional residual network (1D ResNet). The classification accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity of the RF-1D ResNet model were 91.1%, 91.6%, 91.3%, and 91.3%, respectively. And the model demonstrates superior performance with an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.99. The above results show that combining LIBS with deep learning is an effective way to diagnose malignant and benign tumors.

RESUMO

We recently synthesized one-dimensional (1D) van der Waals heterostructures in which different atomic layers (e.g., boron nitride or molybdenum disulfide) seamlessly wrap around a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and form a coaxial, crystalized heteronanotube. The growth process of 1D heterostructure is unconventional-different crystals need to nucleate on a highly curved surface and extend nanotubes shell by shell-so understanding the formation mechanism is of fundamental research interest. In this work, we perform a follow-up and comprehensive study on the structural details and formation mechanism of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-synthesized 1D heterostructures. Edge structures, nucleation sites, and crystal epitaxial relationships are clearly revealed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This is achieved by the direct synthesis of heteronanotubes on a CVD-compatible Si/SiO2 TEM grid, which enabled a transfer-free and nondestructive access to many intrinsic structural details. In particular, we have distinguished different-shaped boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) edges, which are confirmed by electron diffraction at the same location to be strictly associated with its own chiral angle and polarity. We also demonstrate the importance of surface cleanness and isolation for the formation of perfect 1D heterostructures. Furthermore, we elucidate the handedness correlation between the SWCNT template and BNNT crystals. This work not only provides an in-depth understanding of this 1D heterostructure material group but also, in a more general perspective, serves as an interesting investigation on crystal growth on highly curved (radius of a couple of nanometers) atomic substrates.

RESUMO

The metal-ligand complex tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride (Ru probe) displays a broad emission spectrum ranging from 540 to 730 nm. The emission spectra of Ru probe were measured when placed on top of a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC), which supports both Bloch surface wave (BSW) and internal modes for wavelengths below 640 nm and only internal modes above 640 nm. The S-polarized emission spectra, with the electric vector parallel to the 1DPC surface, were found to be strongly dependent on the observation angle through the coupling prism. Also, the usual single broad-emission spectrum of Ru probe on glass was converted into two or more narrow-band-spectrum on the 1DPC, with emission band maxima dependent on the observation angle. The two S-polarized emission band peaks for Ru probe were found to be consistent with coupling to the BSW and first internal mode (IM1) of the 1DPC. The same spectral shifts and changes in emission maxima were observed by using Kretschmann and reverse Kretschmann illuminations. As the coupling requires the emitter to be in proximity with the photonic structure, we calculated near- and far-field distributions of a dipole directly located on the 1DPC surface. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations were performed to confirm fluorophore coupling to the BSW and internal modes (IMs). Both the measured and simulated results showed that IM coupled emission is significant. Coupling to the IM mode occurred at longer wavelengths where the 1DPC did not support a BSW. These results demonstrate that a simple Bragg grating, without a BSW mode, can be used for detection of surface-bound fluorophores.

RESUMO

This study introduces a novel nonlinear dynamic analysis method, known as beluga whale optimization-slope entropy (BWO-SlEn), to address the challenge of recognizing sea state signals (SSSs) in complex marine environments. A method of underwater acoustic signal recognition based on BWO-SlEn and one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) is proposed. Firstly, particle swarm optimization-slope entropy (PSO-SlEn), BWO-SlEn, and Harris hawk optimization-slope entropy (HHO-SlEn) were used for feature extraction of noise signal and SSS. After 1D-CNN classification, BWO-SlEn were found to have the best recognition effect. Secondly, fuzzy entropy (FE), sample entropy (SE), permutation entropy (PE), and dispersion entropy (DE) were used to extract the signal features. After 1D-CNN classification, BWO-SlEn and 1D-CNN were found to have the highest recognition rate compared with them. Finally, compared with the other six recognition methods, the recognition rates of BWO-SlEn and 1D-CNN for the noise signal and SSS are at least 6% and 4.75% higher, respectively. Therefore, the BWO-SlEn and 1D-CNN recognition methods proposed in this paper are more effective in the application of SSS recognition.

RESUMO

Integrating plasmonic resonance into photonic bandgap nanostructures promises additional control over their optical properties. Here, one-dimensional (1D) plasmonic photonic crystals with angular-dependent structural colors are fabricated by assembling magnetoplasmonic colloidal nanoparticles under an external magnetic field. Unlike conventional 1D photonic crystals, the assembled 1D periodic structures show angular-dependent colors based on the selective activation of optical diffraction and plasmonic scattering. They can be further fixed in an elastic polymer matrix to produce a photonic film with angular-dependent and mechanically tunable optical properties. The magnetic assembly enables precise control over the orientation of the 1D assemblies within the polymer matrix, producing photonic films with designed patterns displaying versatile colors from the dominant backward optical diffraction and forward plasmonic scattering. The combination of optical diffraction and plasmonic properties within a single system holds the potential for developing programmable optical functionalities for applications in various optical devices, color displays, and information encryption systems.

RESUMO

Determining the electronic ground state of a one-dimensional system is crucial to understanding the underlying physics of electronic behavior. Here, we demonstrate the discovery of charge-density wave states in few-wire W6Te6 arrays using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. We directly visualize incommensurate charge orders, energy gaps with prominent coherence peaks, and the picometer-scale lattice distortion in nearly disorder-free double-wire systems, thereby demonstrating the existence of Peierls-type charge density waves. In the presence of disorder-induced charge order fluctuations, the coherence peaks resulting from phase correlation disappear and gradually transform the system into the pseudogap states. The power-law zero-bias anomaly and quasi-particle interference analysis further suggest the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behavior in such pseudogap region. In addition, we explicitly determined the evolution of the CDW energy gap as a function of stacking-wire numbers. The present study demonstrates the existence of electron-phonon interactions in few-wire W6Te6 that can be tuned by disorders and van der Waals stacking.

RESUMO

Using density functional theory combined with the first principles calculation method of non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF-DFT), we studied the thermoelectric (TE) characteristics of one-dimensional γ-graphdiyne nanoribbons (γ-GDYNRs). The study found that the thermal conductivity of γ-GDYNRs has obvious anisotropy. At the same temperature and geometrical size, the lattice thermal conductivity of zigzag-edged γ-graphdiyne nanoribbons (γ-ZGDYNRs) is much lower than that of armchair-edged γ-graphdiyne nanoribbons (γ-AGDYNRs). We disclose the underlying mechanism for this intrinsic orientation. That is, γ-AGDYNRs have more phonon dispersion over the entire frequency range. Furthermore, the orientation dependence increases when the width of the γ-GDYNRs decreases. These excellent TE properties allow armchair-edged γ-graphdiyne nanoribbons with a planar width of 1.639 nm (γ-Z(2)GDYNRs) to have a higher power factor and lower thermal conductivity, ultimately resulting in a significantly higher TE conversion rate than other γ-GDYNR structures.

RESUMO

We show an unexpected aggregation phenomenon of a long oligoyne (Py[16]) with 16 contiguous triple bonds and endcapped with bulky 3,5-bi(3,5-bis-tert-butylphenyl)pyridine groups. Aggregation of 1D π-conjugated oligoyne chains is rare given the minimal π-π intermolecular interactions as well as its flexibility that works against self-assembly. In dilute solutions, the reversible aggregation of Py[16] initiates at low temperature in the range of 140-180 K, and is not observed for shorter oligoynes in this series. Cryogenic UV/Vis electronic absorption spectra and vibrational Raman spectra with different laser wavelength lines tuning from in-resonance to off-resonance conditions have been used to extract the vibrational features characterizing the monomer and aggregate species. Theoretical calculations complement the spectroscopic findings.

RESUMO

Low dimensional (LD) organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have recently emerged as new generation functional materials with exceptional structural and property tunability. Despite the remarkable advances in the development of LD OMHHs, optical properties have been the major functionality extensively investigated for most of LD OMHHs developed to date, while other properties, such as magnetic and electronic properties, remain significantly under-explored. Here we report for the first time the characterization of the magnetic and electronic properties of a 1D OMHH, organic-copper (II) chloride hybrid (C8H22N2)Cu2Cl6. Owing to the antiferromagnetic coupling between Cu atoms through chloride bridges in 1D [Cu2Cl62-]∞ chains, (C8H22N2)Cu2Cl6 is found to exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering with a Néel temperature of 24K. The two-terminal (2T) electrical measurement on a (C8H22N2)Cu2Cl6 single crystal reveals its insulating nature. This work shows the potential of LD OMHHs as a highly tunable quantum material platform for spintronics.

RESUMO

Memristors are essential components of neuromorphic systems that mimic the synaptic plasticity observed in biological neurons. In this study, a novel approach employing one-dimensional covalent organic framework (1D COF) films was explored to enhance the performance of memristors. The unique structural and electronic properties of two 1D COF films (COF-4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA) and COF-4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA)) offer advantages for multilevel resistive switching, which is a key feature in neuromorphic computing applications. By further introducing a TiO2 layer on the COF-ODA film, a built-in electric field between the COF-TiO2 interfaces could be generated, demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing COFs as a platform for constructing memristors with tunable resistive states. The 1D nanochannels of these COF structures contributed to the efficient modulation of electrical conductance, enabling precise control over synaptic weights in neuromorphic circuits. This study also investigated the potential of these COF-based memristors to achieve energy-efficient and high-density memory devices.
