Three-Leaf Dart-Shaped Single-Crystal BN Formation Promoted by Surface Oxygen
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) single crystals with various
shapes have been synthesized by chemical vapor deposition over the past several
years. Here we report the formation of three-leaf dart (3LD)-shaped single
crystals of h-BN on Cu foil by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition.
The leaves of the 3LD-shaped h-BN are as long as 18 {\mu}m and their edges are
smooth armchair on one side and stepped armchair on the other. Careful analysis
revealed that surface oxygen plays an important role in the formation of the
3LD shape. Oxygen suppressed h-BN nucleation by passivating Cu surface active
sites and lowered the edge attachment energy, which caused the growth kinetics
to change to a diffusion-controlled mode.Comment: 7 pages,6 figure
Treating the Expansive Soil Subgrade on the Goaf of Middle-Shallow Layer by Dynamic Compaction With Geogrid Reinforcement
Middle-shallow layer goaf left after the excavation of small coal mines in expansive soil areas always brings much trouble to expressway construction, the section of K21 +400~K22 +550 of Nanning outer ring expressway under construction faces such a situation. Based on the grasp of geological condition of the goaf, related national technical specifications and existing technical research about treatment, the dynamic compaction with geogird reinforcement method is applied to settle the roadbed with a good result showed in the field testing. This paper introduces the geological condition and stability evaluation of the goaf, and emphatically presents the technical note, construction procedure, quality inspection of the dynamic compaction with geogird reinforcement and the filling method of the upper expansive soil subgrade, which can offer a reference for the similar treatment projects in other expansive soil areas
Estimating the central charge from the R\'enyi entanglement entropy
We calculate the von Neumann and R\'enyi bipartite entanglement entropy of
the model with a chemical potential on a 1+1 dimensional Euclidean
lattice with open and periodic boundary conditions. We show that the
Calabrese-Cardy conformal field theory predictions for the leading logarithmic
scaling with the spatial size of these entropies are consistent with a central
charge . This scaling survives the time continuum limit and truncations of
the microscopic degrees of freedom, modifications which allow us to connect the
Lagrangian formulation to quantum Hamiltonians. At half-filling, the forms of
the subleading corrections imposed by conformal field theory allow the
determination of the central charge with an accuracy better than two percent
for moderately sized lattices. We briefly discuss the possibility of estimating
the central charge using quantum simulators.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, 3 table
