Self-passivation leads to semiconducting edges of black phosphorene
No full textThe edges of black phosphorene (BP) have been extensively explored. The previous experimental observations that all the BP edges are semiconducting implies that the as-cut edges of BP tend to be reconstructed. Here we present a global structural search of three typical BP edges, namely armchair, zigzag and zigzag-1 edges. It is found that all the three pristine edges are metastable, and all of them can be quickly self-passivated by (i) forming P=P double bonds (one r and one p bond), (ii) reconstructing new polygonal rings will all P atoms bonded with three sp3 bonds or (iii) forming a special P(2)-P(4) configuration with a two-coordinated P atom accommodating two lone pair electrons and one four-coordinated P atom without lone pair electrons. Highly different from the pristine edges, all these highly stable reconstructed edges are semiconducting. This study showed that the reconstruction of the edges of a 2D material, just like the surfaces of a 3D crystal, must be considered for both fundamental studies and practical applications. Besides BP, this study also sheds light on the structures and properties of the edges of many other 2D materials.11Nsciescopu
Mechanism of 2D Materials??? Seamless Coalescence on a Liquid Substrate
No full textThe seamless coalescence of parallelly aligned 2D materials is the primary route toward the synthesis of wafer-scale single crystals (WSSCs) of 2D materials. The epitaxial growth of various 2D materials on a single-crystal substrate, which is an essential condition of the seamless coalescence approach, has been extensively explored in previous studies. Here, by using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) growth on a liquid gold surface as an example, we demonstrate that growth of WSSCs of 2D materials via the seamless coalescence of self-aligned 2D islands on a liquid substrate is possible. Here we show that, in the presence of hydrogen, all the hBN edges tend to be hydrogen terminated and the coalescence of hBN islands occurs only if their crystallographic lattices of neighboring hBN islands are aligned parallelly. The mechanism of hBN self-alignment revealed in this study implies that, under the optimum experimental condition, the seamless coalescence of 2D materials on a liquid substrate is possible and thus provides guidance for synthesizing WSSCs of various 2D materials by using liquid phase substrates
Mechanism of MoS2 Growth on a Au(111) Surface: An Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study
No full textChemical vapor deposition (CVD) of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) thin films, such as MoS2, on a gold (Au) surface has been regarded as one of the most promising approaches for the mass production of high-quality TMD thin films. However, the mechanism of TMD CVD growth on a gold surface remains a mystery, and many experimental observations, such as the surface chemistry during the initial stage of TMD growth and the formation of T-phase MoS2 on a Au surface, remain unclear. In this study, we systematically explored the initial stage of MoS2CVD growth on a Au(111) surface by using density functional theory-based molecular dynamics simulations. Some critical steps of MoS2 growth, such as the sulfidation of MoO3, the passivation of the Au(111) surface in the S-rich environment, and the lifting of Mo atoms from the Au substrate to form stable MoS2 nuclei, have been revealed in our atomic simulations. The theoretically predicted most stable T-phase small MoS2 clusters agree well with the previous experimental observations. Therefore, with an increase in the size of MoS2, a phase transition from the T phase to the H phase is essential for the growth of highly stable H-phase MoS2 films. This study greatly deepens our understanding of the mechanism of TMD CVD growth on a Au surface and provides guidance for the controllable CVD synthesis of various TMDs
The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

The Poetry of Ping-Pong
No full textIn this chapter, the author looks at the poetry of Ping-Pong, his favorite sport. According to Marty Reisman, the game of Ping-Pong died in Bombay, India, in 1952. Reisman, nicknamed “The Needle,” was favored to win the World Table Tennis Championship that day. The author says he has always loved Ping-Pong because you can get into a rhythm, hit the ball back and forth across the net for hours, with any racquet, and simply talk. Ping-Pong, like poetry, is a players' sport, not ideal for spectators. Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, claims that there is palpable humor in the game. With Ping-Pong, the author insists that we are all capable of attuning ourselves to the hidden life of sports, a relationship that is about kinesthesia and embodiment.</p

Ping-Pong-Pang Instrumentation Amplifier
No full textThis thesis describes the implementation of a Precision Instrumentation Amplifier using a Current Feedback Instrumentation Amplifier topology (CFIA). CFIAs are attractive for sensor readout, because of their high CMRR and their ability to interface with ground-referenced sensors. Several chopping and auto-zeroing techniques have been developed to reduce the offset and 1/f noise of such amplifiers to the ?V level. As a result, their dominant source of error is now gain error, which is limited by mismatch to at best 0.1%. This paper describes a CFIA that applies dynamic element matching (DEM) to achieve a gain error of less than 0.04%. Moreover, it presents the first silicon implementation of the ping-pong-pang (PPP) auto-zeroing scheme, which enables a 3.5× reduction in power consumption and 2.5× improvement in gain error as compared to state-of-the-art ping-pong auto-zeroed CFIAs.Electronic InstrumentationMicroelectronics & Computer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
