Dielectronic recombination rate coefficients of carbon-like Kr³⁰⁺

Abstract

Dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients for carbon-like Kr30+ have been measured over the collision energy of 0-60 eV using the heavy-ion storage ring CSRe at the Institute of Modern Physics in Lanzhou, China. The present DR spectrum covers the resonances associated with the 2s^22p^2[3P0] → 2s^22p^2[3P1,2], 2s2p^3 and 2p^4 (∆N = 0) core excitations. The corresponding DR resonance energies and strengths have been calculated by using the flexible atomic code (FAC) to understand the measured results. An overall agreement has been obtained between the experiment and theory, except for the data at the collision energies below 7 eV and in 35-38 eV, where the electronic correlation effect is strong. In particular, the resonances from the trielectronic recombination due to 2s^22p^2 + e- → 2p^4[1D2]6l have been identified with the help of the FAC calculation. Temperature-dependent plasma recombination rate coefficients were derived from the measured DR rate coefficients for the temperature range 10^3 − 10^7 K and compared with our FAC calculations as well as the previous AUTOSTRUCTURE calculations by Zatsarinny et al: (2004 Astronomy & Astrophysics 417 1173-1181. The FAC and AUTOSTRUCTURE calculations are in good agreement with the presently derived plasma rate coefficients. The present work provides the benchmark data for astrophysical and laboratory plasma modelling.

Potential of Single Transition Metal Atom Embedded C2N as Efficient Catalysts for N2O Reduction: Theoretical Investigation

“…In the TS2 structure, the V─O bond distance decreased from 3.005 to 2.439 Å. This calculated energy barrier for this process is only 5 kcal mol −1 , which is much lower than the values in the literature such as Ru‐doped BN nanosheets (8.5 kcal mol −1 ), [ 75 ] Fe‐doped BN nanosheets (17.5 kcal mol −1 ), [ 76 ] and MnN‐embedded graphene (15.9 kcal mol −1 ). [ 77 ] Then, a CO 2 molecule is generated in the CO 2 ‐V/C 2 N structure.…”

Spherical nucleic acids: emerging amplifiers for therapeutic nanoplatforms

“…4A). 86 A carrier-free core-shell nanoparticle designed by Liu with a central core and Dox radiating around it, which forms a dual adjuvant SNA, 87 underwent enzymatic degradation in the tumor microenvironment due to matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) peptides, resulting in enhanced direct cytotoxicity of Dox against tumor cells.…”

“…116 Subsequently, Liu constructed a spherical nucleic acid using CpG-ODN and monophosphoryl lipid A double adjuvants, and Dox was radially surrounded as the shell, which can enhance ICDinduced immune responses, achieving synergistic therapeutic effects of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. 87 Mirkin et al enhanced T cell responses by hybridizing antigen peptides onto SNAs. 117 They investigated the immunomodulatory activity of liposome spherical nucleic acids by exchanging liposome components and systematically studied the hydrophobic dodecyl anchored group of liposome SNAs, which was found to achieve a strong T-cell response after encapsulating its OVA antigen peptide (Fig.…”

“…Similarly, using two immune adjuvants (i.e., CpG ODN and monophosphoryl lipid A) as the core, and DOX radially surrounding the SNA particles to provide the shell, Ma et al engineered an SNA that presented an enhanced MMP-9 response in the tumor microenvironment (Figure 3C). [143] The incorporation of dual immune adjuvants in the SNA core not only amplified the antitumor immune responses induced by ICD, but they also synergized with DOX release to achieve immunochemical combination therapy. The focus of enzyme-responsive SNAs depends on the peptide sequence and cleavage for the controlled release of therapeutic molecules.…”
