Article Abstract

We conducted first-principles calculations to investigate the dynamic braiding of local edge states and the spin topological transport mechanism in a strong topological MoSTe matrix. The presence of type-II Van Hove singularity in the middle of the - path indicates a strong cohesive interaction and a paring condensation mechanism within the matrix. The surface state data of MoSTe clearly demonstrate the characteristic features of strong regular loop braiding in spin transport. The spin Hall conductivity of the matrix was determined from the anisotropic characteristics of the spin Berry curvature. The phase transition of the spin Hall conductivity was evidenced by the positive sign of local spin polarization strength, primarily contributed by the d orbital of Mo atoms, and the negative sign of spin polarization strength, mainly contributed by the p-p orbitals of S atoms. Moreover, the inclusion of Te selectively tuned the spin transport efficiency of the d and p orbitals. Comprehensive braiding and readout of edge states can be achieved using an artificially designed MoSTe spintronic device. This 2D fractional braiding holds significant potential for applications in topological quantum computation.

The energy gaps, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and admixture coefficients over a series of the configurations are evaluated by the SA-CASSCF/6-31G, SA-CASSCF/6-31G*, SA-CASSCF/ANO-RCC-VDZP, and MS-CASPT2/ANO-RCC-VDZP to reveal the extent of the inaccuracy of the SA-CASSCF. By comparing the mean absolute errors for the energy gaps and the admixture coefficient magnitudes (ACMs) measured between the SA-CASSCF/6-31G, SA-CASSCF/6-31G*, or SA-CASSCF/ANO-RCC-VDZP and the MS-CASPT2/ANO-RCC-VDZP, the SA-CASSCF/6-31G is selected as the electronic structure method in the nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulation. The major components of the ACMs of the SA-CASSCF/6-31G and MS-CASPT2/ANO-RCC-VDZP are identified and compared; we find that the ACMs are underestimated by the SA-CASSCF/6-31G, which is verified by the reasonable triplet quantum yield simulated by the trajectory surface hopping and the calibrated SA-CASSCF/6-31G.

Developing efficient strategies for the deoxygenative functionalization of carbonyl compounds is crucial for enhancing the effective utilization of biomass and the upgrading of chemical feedstocks. In this study, we present an elegant cathodic reduction strategy that enables a tandem alkylation/dearomatization reaction between quinoline derivatives and aryl aldehydes/ketones in a one-pot process. Our approach can be executed via two distinct paths: the aluminum (Al)-facilitated spin-center shift (SCS) path and the Al-facilitated direct deoxygenation path.

Background: Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) may contribute to the initial stages of the pathophysiological process in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hypoperfusion has been observed in several brain regions in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the clinical significance of CBF changes in the early stages of AD is currently unclear.

The efficient degradation of SAs is a significant challenge for the treatment of wastewater. To address this, the FeS@BC was prepared by calcining a mixture of pyrite and biomass, and used to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) to degrade sulfadiazine (SDZ). The effect of carbon sources (wheat straw, rice husk, and corn cob) on catalytic activity of FeS@BC were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), total Fe dissolution and free radical quantification.

Objectives: Caffeine, a known neurostimulant and adenosine antagonist, affects brain physiology by decreasing cerebral blood flow. It interacts with adenosine receptors to induce vasoconstriction, potentially disrupting brain homeostasis. However, the impact of caffeine on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to water remains underexplored.
