The team led by Professor Fu Xuewen from the Ultrafast Electron Microscopy Laboratory, School of Physical Sciences, Nankai University, the team led by Professor Yi mei Zhu from Brookhaven National Laboratory, and along with other collaborators, have observed the distribution and dynamic process of the femt osecond laser induced surface plasmons on silver film based on the self-developed 4D ultra-fast transmission electron microscope, thus providing guidance for the design and application of plas
Paraquat is a kind of fast sterilant herbicide. From the perspective of poisoning mechanism, it belongs to viologen compounds. Being very stable in nature, viologen is a kind of toxic compounds with the chemical structure of 1,1 – disubstituted 4,4- bipyridium salt, with a half-life period of 23 weeks in water and of up to 6 years in soil. If released into the environment, it will pose a potential health hazard to surrounding mammals.Recently, the team of researcher Zhang Xinxing of Nankai Unive
A research group led by professor Cai Wei and professor Xu Jingjun from the School of Physics at Nankai University has made a series of progress in the direction of nano-scale light manipulation after a long-term exploration, such as nano-scale detection of optical properties of bilayer graphene with independent regulation of energy band and Fermi level (Nano Letters 21, 5151 (2021)), and controllable adjustment of artificially induced electronic boundary for reflection of graphene plasmon wave
Two researchers (Dr. Gao Jing and Prof. Wang Yuming) in the research group of Prof. Wang Yuming at the School of Physics of Nankai University, in collaboration with Dr. Tobias Huber from the University of Siegen, Germany and Dr. Ji Yao (currently a postdoctoral fellow in professor Martin Benekes research group at the Technical University of Munich), have taken the lead to realize the dual-cyclic graph analytic calculation of shape factor in Gold hard exclusive process (two-photon generation of π
The age-old mystery of Where the Earths water comes from is crucial to understanding how life emerged and how the dynamics of the Earths interior have evolved over time.Dr. Li Hanfei, associate professor Dong Xiao and their collaborators from the School of Physics, Nankai University, have provided a new approach to this important scientific problem. The paper Ultrahigh-Pressure Magnesium Hydrosilicates as Reservoirs of Water in Early Earth was published in Physical Review Letters, a top journal
