利用CBP作为缓冲层增加有机发光器件的效率

制备一种利用4，4′-N，N′-dicarbazole—biphenyl（CBP）作为超薄空穴注入缓冲层．CBP作为一种较好的缓冲材料，改善了有机发光器件的性能．CBP阻挡部分从阳极ITO注入到有机层NPB的空穴，从而平衡了空穴和电子的注入．有缓冲层的有机发光器件比没有缓冲层有机发光器件的电流效率有了明显的提高．当缓冲层CBP为4nm时，最大电流效率在8V时达到5．66cd／A，这是没有缓冲层器件电流效率的近1．5倍．     

前驱体碳化复合等离子熔覆涂层

以钛铁粉、铬粉、铁粉和碳的前驱体（蔗糖）等为原料,通过前驱体碳化复合技术制备了碳化复合粉,并利用等离子熔覆技术在Q235钢表面制备了Fe-Cr-C和Fe-Cr-C-Ti涂层.采用X射线衍射和扫描电镜对涂层的相组成和显微组织结构进行了分析.结果表明:Fe-Cr-C涂层由（Cr,Fe）₇C₃初生碳化物和菊花瓣状分布共晶碳化物（Cr,Fe）₇C₃与奥氏体组织组成;Fe-Cr-C-Ti涂层由原位合成的TiC相和（Cr,Fe）₇C₃共晶相与奥氏体相构成.这两种涂层与基体之间都是冶金结合.涂层中碳化物TiC的体积分数呈现梯度分布,并且涂层的熔合区和中部区域TiC颗粒形状多为等轴状颗粒,涂层的表层区域部分TiC颗粒多为树枝晶颗粒.与Fe-Cr-C涂层相比较,Fe-Cr-C-Ti涂层的抗开裂性更好.Fe-Cr-C和Fe-Cr-C-Ti两涂层的平均显微硬度约是750HV_0.2,是基体金属的3.2倍,从涂层表面到熔合区相差不大.     

A terahertz metamaterial with unnaturally high refractive index

Controlling the electromagnetic properties of materials, going beyond the limit that is attainable with naturally existing substances, has become a reality with the advent of metamaterials. The range of various structured artificial 'atoms' has promised a vast variety of otherwise unexpected physical phenomena, among which the experimental realization of a negative refractive index has been one of the main foci thus far. Expanding the refractive index into a high positive regime will complete the spectrum of achievable refractive index and provide more design flexibility for transformation optics. Naturally existing transparent materials possess small positive indices of refraction, except for a few semiconductors and insulators, such as lead sulphide or strontium titanate, that exhibit a rather high peak refractive index at mid- and far-infrared frequencies. Previous approaches using metamaterials were not successful in realizing broadband high refractive indices. A broadband high-refractive-index metamaterial structure was theoretically investigated only recently, but the proposed structure does not lend itself to easy implementation. Here we demonstrate that a broadband, extremely high index of refraction can be realized from large-area, free-standing, flexible terahertz metamaterials composed of strongly coupled unit cells. By drastically increasing the effective permittivity through strong capacitive coupling and decreasing the diamagnetic response with a thin metallic structure in the unit cell, a peak refractive index of 38.6 along with a low-frequency quasi-static value of over 20 were experimentally realized for a single-layer terahertz metamaterial, while maintaining low losses. As a natural extension of these single-layer metamaterials, we fabricated quasi-three-dimensional high-refractive-index metamaterials, and obtained a maximum bulk refractive index of 33.2 along with a value of around 8 at the quasi-static limit.     

Analysts’ Dynamic Decisions: Timeliness versus Accuracy

For analysts there is a tradeoff between the accuracy and the timeliness of their forecasts. Prior literature heavily investigates analyst forecast accuracy. Few papers investigate the importance of timeliness. To our best knowledge, there are no empirical papers to date to investigate the dynamic interplay between these key characteristics. We show that if analysts experience a period of high accuracy relative to their peers, they subsequently focus more on the timeliness of their forecasts in the subsequent period and thus issue their forecasts earlier than they did in the prior period.

Glutamate receptors: RNA editing and death of motor neurons

The aetiology of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal paralytic disease, is largely unknown. Here we show that there is a defect in the editing of the messenger RNA encoding the GluR2 subunit of glutamate AMPA receptors in the spinal motor neurons of individuals affected by ALS. This failure to swap an arginine for a glutamine residue at a crucial site in the subunit, which occurs normally in the affected brain areas of patients with other neurodegenerative diseases, will interfere with the correct functioning of the glutamate receptors and may be a contributory cause of neuronal death in ALS patients.     

Guard cell abscisic acid signalling and engineering drought hardiness in plants

Guard cells are located in the epidermis of plant leaves, and in pairs surround stomatal pores. These control both the influx of CO2 as a raw material for photosynthesis and water loss from plants through transpiration to the atmosphere. Guard cells have become a highly developed system for dissecting early signal transduction mechanisms in plants. In response to drought, plants synthesize the hormone abscisic acid, which triggers closing of stomata, thus reducing water loss. Recently, central regulators of guard cell abscisic acid signalling have been discovered. The molecular understanding of the guard cell signal transduction network opens possibilities for engineering stomatal responses to control CO2 intake and plant water loss.
