The validity of the calculation method based on the local mode in hydrogen-bonded water molecules was investigated by comparing the frequencies of the local and normal modes of OH stretching vibration in water molecules. By calculating a monomer, dimer, and trimer of water molecules using a quantum chemical ab initio theory, we examined how the frequencies of the local and normal modes and the anharmonicity of local modes vary with molecular cluster size. It was shown that, as the number of molecules increases from monomer to trimer, the anharmonicity of OH bonds increases and the difference between local and normal mode frequencies decreases. This confirms that local-mode-based calculations that can easily handle the anharmonicity can be appropriate for the calculation of the OH stretching frequency of water molecules in the condensed phase.

During fast neutron imaging, besides the dark current noise and readout noise of the CCD camera, the main noise in fast neutron imaging comes from high-energy gamma rays generated by neutron nuclear reactions in and around the experimental setup. These high-energy gamma rays result in the presence of high-density gamma white spots (GWS) in the fast neutron image. Due to the microscopic quantum characteristics of the neutron beam itself and environmental scattering effects, fast neutron images typically exhibit a mixture of Gaussian noise. Existing denoising methods in neutron images are difficult to handle when dealing with a mixture of GWS and Gaussian noise. Herein we put forward a deep learning approach based on the Swin Transformer UNet (SUNet) model to remove high-density GWS-Gaussian mixture noise from fast neutron images. The improved denoising model utilizes a customized loss function for training, which combines perceptual loss and mean squared error loss to avoid grid-like artifacts caused by using a single perceptual loss. To address the high cost of acquiring real fast neutron images, this study introduces Monte Carlo method to simulate noise data with GWS characteristics by computing the interaction between gamma rays and sensors based on the principle of GWS generation. Ultimately, the experimental scenarios involving simulated neutron noise images and real fast neutron images demonstrate that the proposed method not only improves the quality and signal-to-noise ratio of fast neutron images but also preserves the details of the original images during denoising.

Fluorescence excitation spectrum of the trans.trans-1,3,5,7-octatetraene(OT)-Xe van der Waals clusters formed in supersonic jet expansions has been obtained. The transition lines corresponding to the van der Waals cluters of OT with Xe are observed in the lower frequency side of the OT band origin. Based on the spectral shifts, fluorescence lifetimes, and concentration dependence of the peak intensities, most of the transition lines are assigned to the $OT-Xe_n$ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) clusters. Long progressions of a van der Waals vibrational mode are observed for n = 1, 2, 3 and 4 clusters and assigned to rocking of the OT moiety with respect to the Xe atom with the help of ab initio quantum mechanical calculation.

The interaction between metalloporphyrins and diazine tautomers was investigated using quantum chemistry method. The results showed that the metal atom in the metalloporphyrin was not coplanar with porphin ring, and zinc porphyrin has the most extent of its non-coplanar nature. The most stable complex in nine complexes was iron porphyrin. NBO analysis indicated that the interaction between the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and the unoccupied lone pair orbital of metal contributes significantly to the stability of the complexes. Through the conceptual DFT parameter and Fukui dual descriptor, the thermodynamic stability and reactivity of complexes were analyzed. The density difference function (DDF) analyzes were performed to explore the rearrangement of electronic density after the coordination interaction. NICS calculation indicated that metalloporphyrin aromaticity was reduced after the coordination interaction, and aromaticity of diazine tautomer was increased along direction vector of the coordination interaction force.

The fluorine doping along with heavy metal oxides remarkably raised the $^3$H$_4$ lifetime and the quantum efficiency in Tm$^{3+}$-doped silicate glasses. 29 mol% of fluorine substitution for oxygen in 70SiO$_2$-15Pbo-12ZnO-3KO$_{1}$2/ glass raised $^3$H$_4$ lifetime to 193 $mutextrm{s}$. Refractive indices were raised by heavy metal oxide substitution, but hardly changed by fluorine substitution. The fluorine doping changed the local structure around Tm$^{3+}$ions, then low energy vibrations related to fluorine are considered to largely reduce the multi-phonon relaxation rates in the oxyfluoride silicate glasses. The $^3$H$_4$ lifetimes and absorption and emission spectra of Tm$^{3+}$doped silicate and oxyfluoride silicate glasses are reported, and Judd-Ofelt calculation results are discussed in this paper.

The performance of turbo codes is investigated in the direct detection optical PPM channel. We assume that an ideal photon counter is used as an optical detector and that the channel has background noise as well as quantum noise. Resulting channel model is M-ary PPM Poisson channel. We propose the structure of the transmitter and receiver for applying turbo codes to this channel. We also derive turbo decoding algorithm for the proposed coding system, by modifying the calculation of the branch metric inherent in the original turbo decoding algorithm developed for the AWGN channel. Analytical bounds are derived and computer simulation is performed to analyze the performance of the proposed coding scheme, and the results are compared with the performances of Reed-Solomon codes and convolutional codes.

White light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the so-called next-generation solid-state lighting, offer benefits in terms of reliability, energy-saving, maintenance, safety, lead-free, and eco-friendly. Recently, rare-earth-doped oxynitride or nitride compounds have attracted a great deal of interest as a photoluminescent material because of their unique luminescent property, especially for white LEDs applications. Ce doped ${\beta}$-SiAlON has been studied as a wavelength conversion phosphor in white LEDs thanks to its high absorption rates, high quantum efficiency, and excellent thermal stability. Previously researches were not enough to understand the detail mechanism and characteristics of ${\beta}$-SiALON. The bandgap structures and electronic structures were not exact due to limitation of calculation methods. In this study, to elucidate the Ce doping effect on the SiAlON system, accurate band structures and electronic structure of the Ce doped ${\beta}$-SiAlON was intensively investigated using density functional theory calculations. In order to get a better description of the band gaps, MBJLDA method were used. We have found a single Ce atom site in ${\beta}$-SiAlON super cell. Furthermore, the density of state, band structure and lattice constant were intensively investigated.

신약을 개발하거나 단백질 구조를 예측하는데 Molecular Mechanics (MM)의 방법을 사용한다. 하지만, MM 만으로는 자연현상에서 일어나는 결과를 정확하게 기술하기 어렵다. 본 연구는 기존의 MM 방법으로는 정확히 예측이 불가능한 비 공유결합 중 하나인 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction을 양자역학 계산을 통해 정확한 예측이 가능한지 알아보았다. ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction이란 생채 내, 의약 화합물에서 발견되는 결합이기 때문에, 단백질과 결합하는 구조의 예측에 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 실험은 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction을 갖는 Sandwich, T shape, 그리고 Parallel displaced 세 가지 모형과 각각의 모형 아래에 분자를 하나 더 쌓은 모형을 추가하여 양자역학 재산을 수행하였다. 양자역학 계산은 DFT의 세가지 함수 M06_2X, M05_2X, B3LYP를 이용하였다. 실험결과에서 세 가지 함수가 각기 다른 결과를 보였는데, 상대적으로 B3LYP의 경우에는 세가지 모델에서 모두 제대로 된 에너지 변화를 계산하지 못하였으며, M06_2X와 M05_2X의 결과에서는 거리에 따른 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction 에너지의 변화를 정확하게 계산하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 양자역학의 방법을 통해 MM에서는 예측이 불가능한 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction을 계산 할 수 있고 이 부분을 고려하여 화합물 간의 결합구조를 예측을 향상시킬 수 있다.

A novel supramolecular network containing binuclear copper unit $[Cu(phen)_{2}({\mu}-ID\;A)Cu(phen){\cdot}(NO_{3})](NO_{3}){\cdot}4(H_{2}O)$ (1) was synthesized through the self-assembly of iminodiacetic acid ($H_2IDA$) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in the condition of pH = 6. It has been characterized by the infrared (IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). 1 shows a 2-D supramolecular structure assembled through strong and unique $\pi-\pi$ packing interactions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that theoretical optimized structures can well reproduce the experimental structure. The TGA and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) curves indicate that the complex 1 can maintain the structural integrity even at the loss of free water molecules. The magnetic property is also reported in this paper.
