We found that the time interval between two consecutive comments on the same topic, called inter-event time, follows a power-law distribution. This result shows that there is no characteristic decay time on a topic. It allows for very long periods without comments that separate bursts of intensive comments. Furthermore, the frequency of a different ID commenting on a topic also follows a power-law distribution. It indicates that there are some "hubs" in the topic who lead the direction of the public opinion. Based on the personal comments habit, a model is introduced to explain these phenomena. The numerical simulations of the model fit well with the empirical results. Our findings are helpful for discovering regular patterns of human behavior in on-line society and the evolution of the public opinion on the virtual as well as real society.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenSongZhaoetal.2018, author = {Chen, Ye and Song, Qilei and Zhao, Junpeng and Gong, Xiangjun and Schlaad, Helmut and Zhang, Guangzhao}, title = {Betulin-Constituted multiblock amphiphiles for broad-spectrum protein resistance}, series = {ACS applied materials \& interfaces}, volume = {10}, journal = {ACS applied materials \& interfaces}, number = {7}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {1944-8244}, doi = {10.1021/acsami.7b16255}, pages = {6593 -- 6600}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Multiblock-like amphiphilic polyurethanes constituted by poly(ethylene oxide) and biosourced betulin are designed for antifouling and synthesized by a convenient organocatalytic route comprising tandem chain-growth and step-growth polymerizations. The doping density of betulin (D-B) in the polymer chain structure is readily varied by a mixed-initiator strategy. The spin-coated polymer films exhibit unique nanophase separation and protein resistance behaviors. Higher D-B leads to enhanced surface hydrophobicity and, unexpectedly, improved protein resistance. It is found that the surface holds molecular-level heterogeneity when D-B is substantially high due to restricted phase separation; therefore, broad-spectrum protein resistance is achieved despite considerable surface hydrophobicity. As D-B decreases, the distance between adjacent betulin units increases so that hydrophobic nanodomains are formed, which provide enough landing areas for relatively small-sized proteins to adsorb on the surface.}, language = {en} } @article{LiChenWuetal.2009, author = {Li, Ping and Chen, Maoyin and Wu, Ye and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Matrix-measure criterion for synchronization in coupled-map networks}, issn = {1539-3755}, doi = {10.1103/Physreve.79.067102}, year = {2009}, abstract = {We present conditions for the local and global synchronizations in coupled-map networks using the matrix measure approach.

This non-resonant streaming instability, also known as Bell's instability, is generally regarded as a candidate for the amplification of interstellar magnetic field in the upstream region of supernova-remnant shocks, which is crucial for the efficiency of diffusive shock acceleration. In the beam-plasma system composed of a radio-frequency electron gun and a gas-discharge plasma cell, the goal of our experiment is to demonstrate the development of the non-resonant streaming instability and to find its saturation level in the laboratory environment. Since we find that the electron beam will be significantly decelerated on account of an electrostatic streaming instability, which will decrease the growth rate of desired non-resonant streaming instability, we discuss possible ways to suppress the electrostatic streaming instability by considering the characteristics of a field-emission-based quasi continuous-wave electron beam.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenLoischGrossetal.2018, author = {Chen, Ye and Loisch, Gregor and Gross, Matthias and Jao, Chun-Sung and Krasilnikov, Mikhail and Oppelt, Anne and Osterhoff, Jens and Pohl, Martin and Qian, Houjun and Stephan, Frank and Vafin, Sergei}, title = {Generation of quasi continuous-wave electron beams in an L-band normal conducting pulsed RF injector for laboratory astrophysics experiments}, series = {Nuclear instruments \& methods in physics research : a journal on accelerators, instrumentation and techniques applied to research in nuclear and atomic physics, materials science and related fields in physics ; A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment}, volume = {903}, journal = {Nuclear instruments \& methods in physics research : a journal on accelerators, instrumentation and techniques applied to research in nuclear and atomic physics, materials science and related fields in physics ; A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0168-9002}, doi = {10.1016/j.nima.2018.06.063}, pages = {119 -- 125}, year = {2018}, abstract = {We report on an approach to produce quasi continuous-wave (cw) electron beams with an average beam current of milliamperes and a mean beam energy of a few MeV in a pulsed RF injector. Potential applications are in the planned laboratory astrophysics programs at DESY. The beam generation is based on field emission from a specially designed metallic field emitter. A quasi cw beam profile is formed over subsequent RF cycles at the resonance frequency of the gun cavity. This is realized by debunching in a cut disk structure accelerating cavity (booster) downstream of the gun. The peak and average beam currents can be tuned in beam dynamics simulations by adjusting operation conditions of the booster cavity. Optimization of the transverse beam size at specific positions (e.g., entrance of the plasma experiment) is performed by applying magnetic focusing fields provided by solenoids along the beam line. In this paper, the design of a microtip field emitter is introduced and characterized in electromagnetic field simulations in the gun cavity. A series of particle tracking simulations are conducted for multi-parametric optimization of the parameters of the produced quasi cw electron beams. The obtained results will be presented and discussed. In addition, measurements of the parasitic field emission (PFE) current (dark current) in the PITZ gun will be exemplarily shown to distinguish its order of magnitude from the produced beam current by the designed field emitter.}, language = {en} } @article{LaiLuoZwirneretal.2022, author = {Lai, Huagui and Luo, Jincheng and Zwirner, Yannick and Olthof, Selina and Wieczorek, Alexander and Ye, Fangyuan and Jeangros, Quentin and Yin, Xinxing and Akhundova, Fatima and Ma, Tianshu and He, Rui and Kothandaraman, Radha K. and Chin, Xinyu and Gilshtein, Evgeniia and Muller, Andre and Wang, Changlei and Thiesbrummel, Jarla and Siol, Sebastian and Prieto, Jose Marquez and Unold, Thomas and Stolterfoht, Martin and Chen, Cong and Tiwari, Ayodhya N. and Zhao, Dewei and Fu, Fan}, title = {High-performance flexible all-Perovskite tandem solar cells with reduced V-OC-deficit in wide-bandgap subcell}, series = {Advanced energy materials}, volume = {12}, journal = {Advanced energy materials}, number = {45}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1614-6832}, doi = {10.1002/aenm.202202438}, pages = {12}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Among various types of perovskite-based tandem solar cells (TSCs), all-perovskite TSCs are of particular attractiveness for building- and vehicle-integrated photovoltaics, or space energy areas as they can be fabricated on flexible and lightweight substrates with a very high power-to-weight ratio. However, the efficiency of flexible all-perovskite tandems is lagging far behind their rigid counterparts primarily due to the challenges in developing efficient wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells on the flexible substrates as well as their low open-circuit voltage (V-OC). Here, it is reported that the use of self-assembled monolayers as hole-selective contact effectively suppresses the interfacial recombination and allows the subsequent uniform growth of a 1.77 eV WBG perovskite with superior optoelectronic quality. In addition, a postdeposition treatment with 2-thiopheneethylammonium chloride is employed to further suppress the bulk and interfacial recombination, boosting the V-OC of the WBG top cell to 1.29 V. Based on this, the first proof-of-concept four-terminal all-perovskite flexible TSC with a power conversion efficiency of 22.6\% is presented. When integrating into two-terminal flexible tandems, 23.8\% flexible all-perovskite TSCs with a superior V-OC of 2.1 V is achieved, which is on par with the V-OC reported on the 28\% all-perovskite tandems grown on the rigid substrate.}, language = {en} }
