Surface Energy and Surface Stability of Ag Nanocrystals at Elevated Temperatures and Their Dominance in Sublimation‐Induced Shape Evolution

The surface energy and surface stability of Ag nanocrystals (NCs) are under debate because the measurable values of the surface energy are very inconsistent, and the indices of the observed thermally stable surfaces are apparently in conflict. To clarify this issue, a transmission electron microscope is used to investigate these problems in situ with elaborately designed carbon‐shell‐capsulated Ag NCs. It is demonstrated that the {111} surfaces are still thermally stable at elevated temperatures, and the victory of the formation of {110} surfaces over {111} surfaces on the Ag NCs during sublimation is due to the special crystal geometry. It is found that the Ag NCs behave as quasiliquids during sublimation, and the cubic NCs represent a featured shape evolution, which is codetermined by both the wetting equilibrium at the Ag–C interface and the relaxation of the system surface energy. Small Ag NCs (≈10 nm) no longer maintain the wetting equilibrium observed in larger Ag NCs, and the crystal orientations of ultrafine Ag NCs (≈6 nm) can rotate to achieve further shape relaxation. Using sublimation kinetics, the mean surface energy of Ag NCs at 1073 K is calculated to be 1.1–1.3 J m^?2.     

Graphene Caging Silicon Particles for High‐Performance Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Silicon holds great promise as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries with higher energy density; its implication, however, is limited by rapid capacity fading. A catalytic growth of graphene cages on composite particles of magnesium oxide and silicon, which are made by magnesiothermic reduction reaction of silica particles, is reported herein. Catalyzed by the magnesium oxide, graphene cages can be conformally grown onto the composite particles, leading to the formation of hollow graphene‐encapsulated Si particles. Such materials exhibit excellent lithium storage properties in terms of high specific capacity, remarkable rate capability (890 mAh g^?1 at 5 A g^?1), and good cycling retention over 200 cycles with consistently high coulombic efficiency at a current density of 1 A g^?1. A full battery test using LiCoO₂ as the cathode demonstrates a high energy density of 329 Wh kg^?1.     

Imparting Designer Biorecognition Functionality to Metal–Organic Frameworks by a DNA‐Mediated Surface Engineering Strategy

Surface functionality is an essential component for processing and application of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). A simple and cost‐effective strategy for DNA‐mediated surface engineering of zirconium‐based nanoscale MOFs (NMOFs) is presented, capable of endowing them with specific molecular recognition properties and thus expanding their potential for applications in nanotechnology and biotechnology. It is shown that efficient immobilization of functional DNA on NMOFs can be achieved via surface coordination chemistry. With this strategy, it is demonstrated that such porphyrin‐based NMOFs can be modified with a DNA aptamer for targeting specific cancer cells. Furthermore, the DNA–NMOFs can facilitate the delivery of therapeutic DNA (e.g., CpG) into cells for efficient recognition of endosomal Toll‐like receptor 9 and subsequent enhanced immunostimulatory activity in vitro and in vivo. No apparent toxicity is observed with systemic delivery of the DNA–NMOFs in vivo. Overall, these results suggest that the strategy allows for surface functionalization of MOFs with different functional DNAs, extending the use of these materials to diverse applications in biosensor, bioimaging, and nanomedicine.     

Piezotronic effect on the luminescence of quantum dots for micro/nano-newton force measurement

The luminescence of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can be adjusted using the piezotronic effect. An external mechanical force applied on the QD generates a piezoelectric potential, which alters the luminescence of the QD. A small mechanical force may induce a significant change on the emission spectrum. In the case of InN QDs, it is demonstrated that the unforced emission wavelength is more than doubled by a force of 1 μN. The strategy of using the piezotronic effect to tune the color of the emission leads to promising noncontact forcemeasurement applications in biological and medical sensors and force-sensitive displays. Several piezoelectric semiconductor materials have been investigated in terms of the tunability of the emission wavelength in the presence of an external applied force. It is found that CdS and CdSe demonstrate much higher tunability δλ/δF, which makes them suitable for micro/nano-newton force measurement applications.

Efficient edit propagation using hierarchical data structure

This paper presents a novel unified hierarchical structure for scalable edit propagation. Our method is based on the key observation that in edit propagation, appearance varies very smoothly in those regions where the appearance is different from the user-specified pixels. Uniformly sampling in these regions leads to redundant computation. We propose to use a quadtree-based adaptive subdivision method such that more samples are selected in similar regions and less in those that are different from the user-specified regions. As a result, both the computation and the memory requirement are significantly reduced. In edit propagation, an edge-preserving propagation function is first built, and the full solution for all the pixels can be computed by interpolating from the solution obtained from the adaptively subdivided domain. Furthermore, our approach can be easily extended to accelerate video edit propagation using an adaptive octree structure. In order to improve user interaction, we introduce several new Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) brushes to find pixels that are similar to the user-specified regions. Compared with previous methods, our approach requires significantly less time and memory, while achieving visually same results. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach on high-resolution photographs and videos.     

Design of a novel monopulse antenna system using the time‐modulated antenna arrays

A novel monopulse antenna for a tracking radar system is proposed using the time modulated antenna array technique. The time modulation technique applied in the antenna arrays overcomes the usual need for compromise between sum and difference beams and avoids the need for implementation of two separate feed networks. The time modulated antenna array also relaxes the error tolerance of the tracking accuracy from the amplitude and phase errors, due to the new design freedom of “time” which can be controlled precisely and quickly. Moreover, the position of the target can be recovered by two reflected echoes from one previously transmitted pulse, thus the tracking errors resulting from the excitation errors and receiver noise in conventional antenna arrays can be greatly alleviated. Numerical results show that with the aid of time modulation technique, one sum beam and two difference beams can be simultaneously obtained either for the boresight or off‐boresight target tracking. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
