As a fast, cheap, stable, ultra-sensitive and accurate detection method, SERS detection can reflect rich molecular fingerprint information through the vibration of the analyte, and accurately determine the trace amount of synthetic dyes in the actual environment. The metal/semiconductor heterostructure formed by the combination of plasmon metal and semiconductor is advantageous for the enhancement of photoinduced charge transfer efficiency (PICT), and has obvious advantages in the study of surface-enhanced Raman scattering. In this paper, the prepared hybrid substrate is annealed to further improve the surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity. Initially, high-density and monodisperse silver/silver oxide (Ag/Ag2O) nanoparticles were loaded onto two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets. On this basis, by annealing the system at high temperature, an efficient charge transfer channel is constructed, which greatly improves the PICT efficiency and chemical enhancement (CM). It was confirmed by experiments that the SERS signal intensity of h-BN/Ag/Ag2O material annealed at 320 ℃ with crystal violet (CV) as probe molecule was significantly increased by 18 times compared with unannealed material，enhancement factor (EF) reached 16.3145×107. Finally, based on the excellent SERS property of h-BN/Ag/Ag2O 320℃ annealing composite, the SERS detection of food additive patent Blue V (PBV) was conducted in this paper. The results showed that the lowest detection concentration could reach 10-12 M, and the trace detection of synthetic dye PBV was realized. It has excellent spatial uniformity and anti-interference ability, which is of great significance in the actual scene detection of PBV. The h-BN/Ag/Ag2O 320 ℃ annealed composite constructed in this paper has both physical and chemical enhancement, and has significant advantages in ultra-low sensitive SERS detection of food additives.","PeriodicalId":10252,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135400401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the expansion of applications, the limitations of antibody drugs have gradually emerged, and small molecule compound inhibitors have become a new focus of attention for researchers. This study aims to use ligand-based and structure-based binding activity prediction methods to achieve virtual screening of small molecule compounds targeting PD-L1, thereby helping to accelerate the development of small molecule drugs. A dataset of PD-L1 small molecule inhibitory activity from relevant research literatures and patents was collected and machine learning activity judgment classification models with activity intensity prediction models were constructed based on different molecular characterization methods and algorithms. The two types of models filtered 68 candidate compounds with high PD-L1 inhibitory activity from a large drug-like small molecule screening pool. Ten of these compounds not only had good drug similarity and pharmacokinetics, but also showed the same level of binding strength and similar mechanism of action with previous hot compounds in molecule docking. This phenomenon was further verified in subsequent molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energy estimation. In this study, a virtual screening workflow integrating ligand-based method and structure-based method was developed, which effectively screened potential PD-L1 small molecule inhibitors in large compound databases, and is expected to help accelerate the application and expansion of tumor immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":10252,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135400403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the existence of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in graphene-based superconducting materials has been successfully observed in the laboratory. This paper establishes an effective Hamiltonian in real space to describe the superconducting state of graphene materials, considering a single magnetic impurity. It constructs the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equation and performs self-consistency calculations on the superconducting order parameter. On this basis, the paper theoretically investigates the effects of magnetic impurities on graphene-like superconductors. The calculation results show that the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov state can only appear within the superconducting pairing symmetry of the traditional <i>s</i>-wave pairing. The position and strength of the bound state are related to the magnetic moment of the impurity, and it shows a notable electron-hole asymmetry. There are no bound states in the energy gap for other pairing symmetries. This theoretical calculation not only provides a reasonable explanation for experimental phenomena, but also demonstrates that the heterojunction system composed of graphene and traditional superconductors has an <i>s</i>-wave superconducting pairing induced by the proximity effect in the graphene layer.","PeriodicalId":10252,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135402164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the outdoor environment, the resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and working distance of optical imaging are limited as result of the influence of background light, stray light, and atmospheric medium. In recent years, with the development of muti-discipline such as optics, physics, information theory, and computer science, the new optical imaging technologies continue to emerge, thus bringing new opportunities for outdoor optical imaging towards long-distance, large field of view and high information flux. As one of the new active imaging technologies, correlation imaging has the potential applications of robustness against turbulence and noise, and the possibility of beating the Rayleigh limit. It can deal with the problems better, such as sharp attenuation of optical power caused by long distances, detection of interference signals from environmental noise, and influence of turbulence. Based on the principle of optical imaging, this paper analyzes the factors affecting optical imaging, in terms of resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, spatial bandwidth product, and imaging distance under outdoor environment, focusing on the research progress of outdoor correlation imaging including imaging systems, signal-to-noise screening technology and imaging algorithm.

Recently, we proposed a propagator measurement scheme based on direct measurement of the wave function and successfully performed the first experimental measurement of the propagator using a single photon experiment. Furthermore, in this study, the quantum principle of least action was demonstrated for the first time. This research successfully addressed the technical challenges of path integral experimental studies. In this article, we will review the research progress in this field, including a brief introduction to the basic concepts and research progress of direct wave function measurement, and a detailed description of the theoretical model, experimental design, and experimental results of propagator measurement.

In this paper, a novel femtosecond streak tube is proposed and designed. The factors affecting the temporal resolution are analyzed theoretically and the specifications are given. Parameters including the electric field distribution and electron transmittance on the two common acceleration system structures (planar cathode -mesh accelerating electrode and planar cathode – slit accelerating electrode) are compared and analyzed theoretically. The results show that although the electric field distribution formed by the planar cathode – mesh accelerating electrode could form uniform electric field, the electron transmittance is very low; planar cathode-slit accelerating structure would defocus the photoelectron beam along the scanning direction, but the electron transmittance in the effective detection range of the cathode is as high as 100%. The defocusing of the photoelectron beam can be removed by setting a narrow slit in front of the anode. The focusing electrode adopts two groups of plate-like structures which are vertically placed front and back, forming one-dimensional focusing electric fields along the scanning and the slit direction, respectively. The spatial focusing electrode is placed close to the phosphor screen, which is beneficial to push back the cross-point of the electron beam along the spatial direction. Thus, the electron transit time dispersion in the condition of large electron density would decrease. At the same time, the anode can provide a post-accelerating voltage of +5000 V, which is beneficial to shorten the transit time and dispersion of the photoelectrons, thereby improving the temporal resolution. Based on the above theoretical analysis, a novel femtosecond streak tube is designed by using planar cathode-slit accelerating electrode, anisotropic focusing system and post-accelerating method. The influence of the anode slit width on the spatial and temporal resolution is simulated. The results show that the temporal resolution deteriorates with the increase of the anode slot width (10 μm ~ 50 μm), due to the increase of the anode slit width will lead to the gradual increase of the size of the electron spot along the scanning direction, which would lead to the increase of the technical time dispersion. In addition, this study gives the simulation results of the femtosecond streak tube when the anode slit width is in the range of 10~50 μm. The results show that the static spatial resolution is higher than 100 lp/mm @ MTF=10%, dynamic spatial resolution is higher than 29 lp/mm @ MTF = 10%, the temporal resolution is better than 122 fs in the range of 4 mm cathode effective detection length. When the effective detection length of the cathode is increased to 8 mm, the dynamic spatial resolution of the streak tube tube is higher than 22 lp/mm @ MTF=10%, ","PeriodicalId":10252,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In double channel reflection, controlling the proportion of retroreflection and specular reflection is the key to realize reflection power distribution. In order to realize the control of the proportion of the reflected power in each channel, a topology optimization method for designing the reflective metasurface microstructure with dual channel was proposed in this paper. The implementation mechanism and physical model of metasurface with dual reflection channel including retroreflection channel were constructed, and the topology optimization model of metasurface microstructure with specific power proportion of the retroreflection to specular reflection was established. As the numerical example, a dual channel metasurface reflector with a 1:1 ratio of retroreflection and specular reflection power was designed for a 10 GHz plane wave in the TE mode with -30 ° incident angle. The designed metasurface exhibited strong directionality in the retroreflective direction, and the reflection amplitude in both directions was similar. The retroreflective metasurface with the maximum retroreflection proportion was designed. The retroreflection proportion of the designed metasurface was 0.093. There was no specular reflection or other singular reflection, and the strong reflection on the metasurface was concentrated at -30 °. The ratio of the main beam power to the total reflection power was 0.900.

OAM mode femtosecond fiber laser has become the research focus with the advantages of simple structure, low cost and high peak power. The current OAM mode femtosecond fiber lasers have made breakthroughs in the repetition frequency, pulse width, spectrum width and other key parameters, but it is difficult to achieve good overall performance. Besides, the repetition rate is currently in tens of MHz. In this paper, a large-bandwidth mode coupler is made based on the mode phase matching principle. Among them, the first order mode coupler with 3dB polarization dependent loss is made by the technology of strong fused biconical taper, and the second order mode coupler with 0.3dB polarization dependent loss is made by the technology of weak fused biconical taper. Combined with the nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking mechanism, OAM mode femtosecond fiber lasers with over 100 MHZ repetition rate are built. The achievement of the key parameters is attributed to the selection of dispersion shifted fibers that can accurately adjust intracavity dispersion. Compared to traditional dispersion compensation fibers (DCF), the group velocity dispersion is reduced by an order of magnitude, so it can better adjust intracavity dispersion to achieve the indicators of large spectral bandwidth and narrow pulse width. In addition, the diameter of the fiber is 8μm, which is the same as that of a single mode fiber. Compared to DCF, the fusion loss can be ignored, so only a shorter gain Erbium-doped fiber is required that ensure a shorter overall cavity length and achieve high repetition frequency. The experimental results show that the first order OAM mode fiber laser has 113.6 MHz repetition rate, 98 fs half-height full pulse width, and 101nm 10-dB bandwidth. Second-order OAM mode fiber laser has 114.9 MHz repetition rate, 60 fs half-height full pulse width, and 100nm 10-dB bandwidth. Compared with the reported schemes, our scheme has better performance in key parameters such as repetition rate, pulse width and spectral width. We believe that the OAM mode fiber laser with good over performance is expected to be more widely used in OAM communication, particle manipulation and other research fields.","PeriodicalId":10252,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136053405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
