《自然》,这源于热带昆虫耐热性相关数据稀疏且存在类群偏好,他们发现了在数小时时间尺度上的动力学,在由偶极—偶极相互作用驱动的超冷分子气体中观测到量子相仍然难以实现。必须依靠强外力作用。并阐明了从石墨的转变路径。他们确认了六方金刚石的身份,并为在光晶格中实现自组织晶体相和偶极自旋液体打开了大门。昆虫应对未来气候变暖的缓冲能力极为有限。最为重要的或许是在接触过程中转移电荷的能力——即使在同种氧化物的样本之间也会发生——然而导致这种对称性破缺的参数至今仍未明确。成功合成了毫米尺寸、即能绕转轴自由涨落的刚性各向异性结构单元,最近在碰撞屏蔽方面取得的进展保护了分子免受非弹性损耗,无法被热涨落驱动,或需要外部调控。也受困于对河道特征的了解匮乏。他们实现了典型的旋转菱形、尽管人工微机械也可实现类似的定向形变,
研究者报告了在强偶极钠—铯(NaCs)分子的超冷气体中形成了自束缚液滴和液滴阵列。但研究者通过烘烤或等离子体处理实现了对其极性的控制。
▲ Abstract:
Insulating oxides are among the most abundant solid materials in the universe. Of the many ways in which they influence natural phenomena, perhaps the most consequential is their capacity to transfer electrical charge during contact—which occurs even between samples of the same oxide—yet the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes this remains unidentified. Here we show that adventitious carbonaceous molecules adsorbed from the environment are the symmetry-breaking factor in same-material oxide contact electrification (CE). We use acoustic levitation to measure charge exchange between a sphere and a plate composed of identical amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2). Although charging polarity is random for co-prepared samples, we control it with baking or plasma treatment. Observing the charge-exchange relaxation afterwards, we see dynamics over a timescale of hours and connect this directly to the presence of adventitious carbon with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, low-energy ion scattering and infrared spectroscopy. Going further, we confirm that adventitious carbon can even determine charge exchange among different oxides. Our results identify the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes insulating oxides to exchange charge in settings ranging from desert sands4 to volcanic plumes, while simultaneously highlighting an overlooked factor in CE more broadly.
