The infrared transmittance and emissivity of heat-insulating coatings pigmented with various structural particles were studied using Kubelka-Munk theory and Mie theory. The primary design purpose was to obtain the low transmittance and low emissivity coatings to reduce the heat transfer by thermal radiation for high-temperature applications. In the case of silica coating layers constituted with various structural titania particles (solid, hollow, and core-shell spherical), the dependence of transmittance and emissivity of the coating layer on the particle structure and the layer thickness was investigated and optimized. The results indicate that the coating pigmented with core-shell titania particles exhibits a lower infrared transmittance and a lower emissivity value than that with other structural particles and is suitable to radiative heat-insulating applications.

An in‐depth understanding of dynamic interfacial self‐assembly processes is essential for a wide range of topics in theoretical physics, materials design, and biomedical research. However, direct monitoring of such processes is hampered by the poor imaging contrast of a thin interfacial layer. We report in situ imaging technology capable of selectively highlighting self‐assembly at the phase boundary in real time by employing the unique photophysical properties of aggregation‐induced emission. Its application to the study of breath‐figure formation, an immensely useful yet poorly understood phenomenon, provided a mechanistic model supported by direct visualization of all main steps and fully corroborated by simulation and theoretical analysis. This platform is expected to advance the understanding of the dynamic phase‐transition phenomena, offer insights into interfacial biological processes, and guide development of novel self‐assembly technologies.

Using scanning tunneling microscopy supplemented with first-principles calculations, we examine all the thermally activated atomistic processes of Agn (n = 1–26) constructed atom-by-atom on a Si(111)-(7×7) substrate, and we exploit such cluster dynamical information to further determine the energetic stability (or magicity) of the clusters. By generalizing the traditional concept of cluster magicity solely based on cluster association/dissociation to also include various complex collective cluster motions, we identify the existence of two classes of magic clusters. The most stable class, Ag10 and Ag25, is defined by geometrical shell closure; the less stable class of Agn (n = 3, 5, 13, 16, 19) is associated with lower kinetic barriers against internal restructuring of, or atom detachment from, their respective clusters of neighboring sizes. Our detailed analysis also reveals that the substrate effect, rather than the number of bonds within the clusters, dominates the cluster stabilities. The conceptual advances gained in the present study are broadly applicable to many related cluster systems in contact with external media, and they are expected to be instrumental in tuning the dynamical behaviors of clusters in surface catalysis, nanoplasmonics, and other technological areas.

We report on the modulation of two-dimensional (2D) bands of Cu(111) surface-state electrons by three isostructural supramolecular honeycomb architectures with different periodicity or constituent molecules. Using Fourier-transformed scanning tunneling spectroscopy and model calculations, we resolved the 2D band structures and found that the intrinsic surface-state band is split into discrete bands. The band characteristics including band gap, band bottom, and bandwidth are controlled by the network unit cell size and the nature of the molecule-surface interaction. In particular, Dirac cones emerge where the second and third bands meet at the K points of the Brillouin zone of the supramolecular lattice.

Two novel photoisomerization compounds derived from pyrazolones have been synthesized successfully. The photoisomerization properties of materials have been carefully investigated by measuring the UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of the materials. It was found for the first time among the derivatives of pyrazolones that the compounds change their color from yellow to brown with an efficiency of more than 95% of modulating the fluorescence behaviors, after irradiated with visible light. The unique fluorescent changes of the two compounds between their “on” and “off” states in the solid state indicate that the materials could be used as building blocks to construct novel optical switches. The mechanism of the photoisomerization was further studied with FT-IR, XPS and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The photoreaction resulted from isomerization between the enol and keto forms of the materials is accompanied by intra- and inter-molecular proton transfer.

In order to research the effect of endothermic and exothermic processes on thermal parameters of the insulation materials under high temperature and long time, the high-temperature thermal conductivity measuring of two thermal insulation materials has been investigated by plane source-stepwise transient method in this paper. The thermal conductivity, diffusivity and capacity values of two materials at high-temperature for longtime have been obtained. The results showed that, insulation materials might also be accompanied by endothermic and exothermic processes under high-temperature and long-term, and heat insulation performance of the material will change. These processes could be responded by thermal conductivity measuring.
