Terahertz-field-induced insulator-to-metal transition in vanadium dioxide metamaterial

Electron-electron interactions can render an otherwise conducting material insulating, with the insulator-metal phase transition in correlated-electron materials being the canonical macroscopic manifestation of the competition between charge-carrier itinerancy and localization. The transition can arise from underlying microscopic interactions among the charge, lattice, orbital and spin degrees of freedom, the complexity of which leads to multiple phase-transition pathways. For example, in many transition metal oxides, the insulator-metal transition has been achieved with external stimuli, including temperature, light, electric field, mechanical strain or magnetic field. Vanadium dioxide is particularly intriguing because both the lattice and on-site Coulomb repulsion contribute to the insulator-to-metal transition at 340?K (ref. 8). Thus, although the precise microscopic origin of the phase transition remains elusive, vanadium dioxide serves as a testbed for correlated-electron phase-transition dynamics. Here we report the observation of an insulator-metal transition in vanadium dioxide induced by a terahertz electric field. This is achieved using metamaterial-enhanced picosecond, high-field terahertz pulses to reduce the Coulomb-induced potential barrier for carrier transport. A nonlinear metamaterial response is observed through the phase transition, demonstrating that high-field terahertz pulses provide alternative pathways to induce collective electronic and structural rearrangements. The metamaterial resonators play a dual role, providing sub-wavelength field enhancement that locally drives the nonlinear response, and global sensitivity to the local changes, thereby enabling macroscopic observation of the dynamics. This methodology provides a powerful platform to investigate low-energy dynamics in condensed matter and, further, demonstrates that integration of metamaterials with complex matter is a viable pathway to realize functional nonlinear electromagnetic composites.

异色瓢虫雌虫多次交配的利益

本文研究了多次交配对异色瓢虫雌虫的产卵量、孵化率和雌虫寿命的影响。结果表明:多次交配显著提高了异色瓢虫雌虫的产卵量和孵化率,缩短了异色瓢虫雌虫的寿命;单次交配和重复交配对异色瓢虫的产卵量、孵化率和雌虫寿命没有显著影响。可能是不同雄虫间的精子竞争提高了精子质量,导致异色瓢虫雌虫进行多次交配产卵量和孵化率提高。多次交配中,不同雄虫间激烈的交配竞争和交配干扰给雌虫身体造成的物理损伤可能是雌虫寿命缩短的原因。     

Microstru cture and oxygen storage capacity of Sr-modified Pt/CeO2 –ZrO2catalysts

Strontium was introduced into CeO2–ZrO2 mixed oxides (CZ) by doping and impreg-nation metho ds, and then Pt was impregnated on the Sr-modifie d CZ to obtain the catalysts. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-photon spectra (XPS), high-resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HRTEM) and H2 temperature programmed reduction (TPR) were carried out to characterize the micro-structure and reducibility of catalysts. The oxygen storage capacity (OSC) was evaluated with CO serving as probe gas. The results showed that the incorporation of Sr₂₊ in the lattice of CZ could promote the OSC properties by increasing the structure defects and enhancing the diffusion rate of oxygen from bulk to surface. For the Sr-impregnated sample, the strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) between Pt and CZ was interrupted, since Sr covered parti al surface Ce species. Such interruption retarded the back-spillover effect occurring at the Pt/Ce interface at low temperature, resulting in the loss of OSC. Meanwhile, it was found that a part of impregnated Sr₂₊ could partially diffuse from the surface to the inner atomic layers of CZ and partially incorporated in the lattice during the calcination. The OSC performance of Sr-impregnated sample therefore climbed remarkably with the rise of temperature.
