Chinese version of the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire: psychometric properties and clinical applications.

Background: The alexithymia trait is of high clinical interest. The Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ) was recently developed to enable detailed facet-level and valence-specific assessments of alexithymia.

Aims: In this paper, we introduce the first Chinese version of the PAQ and examine its psychometric properties and clinical applications.

Cross-cultural adaptation and clinical application of the Perth Empathy Scale.

Objective: Alterations of empathy have been observed in patients with various mental disorders. The Perth Empathy Scale (PES) was recently developed to measure a multidimensional construct of empathy across positive and negative emotions. However, its psychometric properties and clinical applications have not been examined in the Chinese context.

Magnetic field modulation effect of photoelectric properties in dye-sensitized solar cells with La0.67(Ca,Ba)0.33MnO3 as counter electrodes.

Background: In recent years, many semiconductor materials with unique band structures have been used as Pt counter electrode (CE) substitutes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), which makes the photoelectric properties of DSSCs possible to be modulated by electric field, magnetic field, and light field. In this work, La0.67(Ca Ba)0.

Novel Synthesis of Slightly Fluorinated Graphene Quantum Dots with Luminescent and Paramagnetic Properties through Thermal Cutting of Fluorinated Graphene.

A novel approach has been developed to synthesize slightly fluorinated graphene quantum dots (GQDs-F) through thermal cutting of highly fluorinated graphene. The fluorinated graphene with substantial structure defects is fragile and is readily attacked. The direct evaporation of abundant CF ( = 2, 3) groups near structure defects lead to the loss of adjacent skelton C atoms, and the fluorinated graphene can be thermally cut into GQDs-F with a relatively uniform nanosize in pyrolysis at 810 K.

Study of magnetic dynamic properties for magnetic cluster and quantum dots with hexagonal array.

Based on the Monte-Carlo simulation, magnetic dynamic properties of magnetic clusters and quasi two-dimensional quantum dots with hexagonal lattice arrays have been calculated. It has been found that the saturation fields for the cluster and quantum dot increase with increasing dipolar interaction. However, hysteresis loops of the quantum dots are different from those in clusters.
