表面等离激元辅助反应及其表征研究进展

金属纳米结构的表面等离激元共振效应能够显著提高金属对光的吸收。表面等离激元效应在金属表面产生增强电场的同时,产生大量的热和高于费米能级的热电子。这些效应可以极大的提高表面化学反应速率,甚至提高选择性,实现传统方法难以实现的反应。本文回顾了表面等离激元辅助反应中各种效应(包括光电场、热和热电子)对反应的作用,总结了高效表面等离激元辅助反应的原则。等离激元增强拉曼光谱由于具有既能通过表面等离激元引发反应,又能通过光谱观测反应的特点,因此在表征等离激元辅助反应方面具有独特的优势。最后从原位表征、界面调控和多外场协同等方面提出了展望。国家自然科学基金青年基金项目(21503181);;福建省自然科学基金青年基金项目(2016J05046

Probing nanoscale spatial distribution of plasmonically excited hot carriers

表面等离激元（SP）效应可产生远高于热平衡下费米能级能量的热电子-空穴对（热载流子），从而能够引发和促进相关的光电或者化学过程，为在纳米尺度上高效利用光能实现物质和能量转化提供了极为有效的手段，化学化工学院任斌教授课题组利用前期自主发展的电化学针尖增强拉曼光谱技术，通过调控电位开关SP热载流子催化的反应，实现了有效热载流子催化反应区域的纳米分辨成像，使反应区域在实空间的分布可视化。实验上获得了有效热载流子的输运距离，从而证明了能量越高的热载流子越需要在更短的输运距离范围内收集捕获。 该工作在任斌教授和王翔副教授的共同指导下完成。实验主要由化学化工学院已毕业博士生黄声超完成。理论计算主要由电子科学与技术学院的朱锦峰副教授和已毕业硕士生李察微完成。此外，化学化工学院已毕业硕士生赵庆庆、博后何玉韩和胡树等人也参与了部分研究与课题讨论。【Abstract】Surface plasmons (SPs) of metals enable the tight focusing and strong absorption of light to realize an efficient utilization of photons at nanoscale. In particular, the SP-generated hot carriers have emerged as a promising way to efficiently drive photochemical and photoelectric processes under moderate conditions. In situ measuring of the transport process and spatial distribution of hot carriers in real space is crucial to efficiently capture the hot carriers.Here, we use electrochemical tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-TERS) to in situmonitor an SP-driven decarboxylation and resolve the spatial distribution of hot carriers with a nanometer spatial resolution. The transport distance of about 20 nm for the reactive hot carriers is obtained from the TERS imaging result. The hot carriers with a higher energy have a shorter transport distance. These conclusions can be guides for the design and arrangement of reactants and devices to efficiently make use of plasmonic hot carriers.The authors acknowledge the financial supports from MOST of China (2016YFA0200601), NSFC (21633005, 21790354, 21503181, 21711530704, U1830116), Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province (2016J05046), China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2017M622062) and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (20720190010).本研究工作得到了国家自然科学基金委和科技部等的资助和支持

Probing the edge-related properties of atomically thin MoS2 at nanoscale

层状二维材料具有独特的物理化学性质，使其在光电器件、传感、能源和催化等领域得到了高度关注和广泛应用。二维材料在制备过程中不可避免引入结构缺陷，虽然这些缺陷尺度仅为数纳米甚至单原子，但是会极大地改变材料的结构和电子性质，从而影响其应用。化学化工学院任斌教授课题组在层状二维材料缺陷表征方面取得进展。该工作表明了TERS在原位、高空间分辨表征缺陷位的结构和电子性质方面具有独特的优势，可以进一步推广到其他二维材料，从而有效地指导缺陷设计和材料应用。 该工作通过校内外课题组紧密合作，在任斌教授、谭平恒研究员（中科院半导体研究所）和王翔博士共同指导下完成。实验部分主要由黄腾翔博士（第一作者，已毕业化学系博士生）完成，电子能带结构与光谱理论计算由谭平恒研究员课题组从鑫博士生（共同第一作者）完成，吴思思、林楷强、姚旭、何玉韩、吴江滨、包一凡、黄声超等参与了实验与讨论。【Abstract】Defects can induce drastic changes of the electronic properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and influence their applications. It is still a great challenge to characterize small defects and correlate their structures with properties. Here, we show that tipenhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) can obtain distinctly different Raman features of edge defects in atomically thin MoS2, which allows us to probe their unique electronic properties and identify defect types (e.g., armchair and zigzag edges) in ambient. We observed an edgeinduced Raman peak (396 cm−1) activated by the double resonance Raman scattering (DRRS) process and revealed electron–phonon interaction in edges. We further visualize the edge-induced band bending region by using this DRRS peak and electronic transition region using the electron density-sensitive Raman peak at 406 cm−1. The power of TERS demonstrated in MoS2 can also be extended to other 2D materials, which may guide the defect engineering for desired properties.The authors acknowledge the final supports from MOST of China (2016YFA0200601 and 2016YFA0301204), NSFC (21633005, 21790354, 21503181, 21711530704, 21621091, 11874350, 11474277, and 11434010), Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province (2016J05046), and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2017M622062). 研究工作得到科技部、国家自然科学基金委员会、福建省自然科学基金和中国博士后基金资助

John Fryer and The Translator’s Vade-mecum: the identification of the “Vocabulary of Terms in Naval Architecture"

John Fryer was one of the most important foreign translators in China after the Opium Wars. The work that is the final result of his experience at the Jiangnan Arsenal is The Translator’s Vade-mecum. Among the preparatory manuscripts of the glossaries that were published in the Vade-mecum, the author has identified the “Vocabulary of Terms in Naval Architecture.” The purpose of this article is to examine the main features of the Vocabulary, its sources and the peculiarities of the manuscript. In the first and second sections, the Vade-mecum is concisely analysed; providing numerous references and simultaneously sketching an outlook of the production and circulation of knowledge in the period considered, the author presents theoretical discussions concerning the norms of translation applied in the Vade-mecum, its purpose and the patronage of the translation activity. In the third and main section, studying the historical significance and linguistic quality of some of the translated terms annotated in the “Vocabulary,” the author compares its terminology with the concurrent Japanese one and with other Chinese relevant nomenclatures, demonstrating the complicate interaction in the “Vocabulary” between lexical innovation and recovery of existing terms
