Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Brother Qian worked very efficiently.

Just the day after Yang Xu's debriefing, the Ark received an e-mail from the Jinling Institute of Computing Materials. Posted at the attachment location of the mail is an experimental report that provides a detailed summary of all the experimental data collected during this period.

Supported by reliable data, the Ark can continue to refine its theory on this basis.

Thanks to these things, he can finally get to work.

The next morning, the Ark called Jericho to his office and told him.

“I remember the last time you told me you were going to follow me in this direction of studying computational material. I'm gonna ask you one more time. Are you ready? ”

When he heard it, Jericho immediately said with excitement: "Of course! Professor, I'm ready! ”

While studying undergraduate at MIT, he completed his degree in Applied Mathematics, accompanied by a major in Applied Chemistry. The only of the five apprentices on the Ark has both a mathematical and a chemical foundation.

Sitting at the desk next door, Wei Wen, who was burying his head, looked at him with envy.

Jericho, who enrolled in the same group as himself, has set the direction for the study.

Yet now, six months later, he was still doing some work of a learning nature and had not participated at all in formal research.

I noticed the envy in Wei Wen's eyes, and the ark said.

“You don't have to envy him. The accumulation is now to fly higher. If you're going to go in the direction of mathematical physics, you have to spend more time and sweat than he does. ”

Mathematical physics and computational chemistry differ, and the latter grows slowly in the bud, trying to explain the phenomenon in the experiment with a new theory, yet the former has gone a few blocks beyond the current experimental level and into an unknown realm.

An immature area is quite different from an already mature one, and the sweat it takes to make a breakthrough based on the research of the former.

Wei Wen obviously knew that too, so he was just envious.

nodded, he simply replied.

“I get it. ”

Jericho raised his hand and said vigorously: "Professor, what do you need me to do? ”

The Ark did not answer the question directly, just smiled and said.

“That's a good question. You follow me to a good place. When you get there, you'll know. ”

……

The first step in any research work begins with literature reading.

This is true of both theoretical and applied research.

After obtaining the experimental data, the ark was not in a hurry to start the calculation, but stuck its head in the stone library.

This was done by one man on the Ark, and now he has two helpers, Jericho, who wants to move in the direction of computing materials, and Connie, who did his post-doctoral work here.

Sitting next to the ark, reading the literature, Jericho suddenly asked, “Professor, how did you come up with the idea of solving the shuttle effect of lithium-sulfur batteries with hollow carbon balls? ”

“Scientific intuition? Plus the inspiration from elsewhere," while reading through the literature in hand, the ark answered the question with a chitchat, "In fact, there is no absolutely suitable choice for the question of technical thinking, there is only a relatively suitable choice. ”

“A relatively suitable choice…” chewed the phrase repeatedly, looking at the literature in hand, Jericho nodded.

With the help of two assistants, literature collection didn't take too long on the ark.

A series of subsequent work, such as a literature review, was also completed within a week.

But the next job, it's not that easy.

Things involving calculations can only be done by the Ark itself.

On the last day of March, the Ark did not go to the office of the Institute of Higher Studies and, after waking up, turned to walk into the study next to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Sitting in a room of less than 10 square meters, he made himself a cup of coffee, then opened the drawer and took out the paper and pen.

On a clean paper, the ark conceived for a moment, and wrote down a line of headings ——

Theoretical Model of Electrochemical Interface Structure

Electrochemical interface theory is an important pillar of modern electrochemistry and one of the classic issues in theoretical chemistry. To make an inappropriate analogy, its place is at the heart of a particular kind of problem, as is the mathematical twin count speculation.

This concept dates back to the early 1980s, when the interfacial molecular model was proposed in its true sense.

It was also after that that the classic electrostatic concepts of the electrochemical interface began to transition to modern concepts of condensed physics.

With the development of technology and the subsequent emergence of molecular dynamics simulations, MonteCarlo simulations and other computer simulation methods, theoretical models of electrochemical interfaces are brought closer to reality.

Even so, however, no one can provide a theoretical model that can be relied upon to justify the changes in the micro substance of the various electrochemical processes occurring on the interface.

How can the differential capacitance curve of polycrystalline metal electrodes be interpreted, to name but two? How do you explain the origin of the capacitance peaks in the HG electrode differential capacitance curve in the electrolyte solution of different solvents?

These seemingly simple questions are not mentioned in the book.

If these questions are answered one by one, there is nothing wrong with winning two or three Nobel Prizes for Chemistry, and the Nobel Committee always attaches more importance to theory than to application.

After all, if these questions are answered effectively, although they may not be intuitively reflected in a company's bank card account or in a country's economic data, the impact on the civilization process is far more important than the significance of a single invention, "modified PDMS material”.

Yet even an ark cannot solve all the difficulties.

However, it's just like the cluster approach to additive mathematics.

If mathematical methods can be used to describe the nature of the interface, a theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure can be established on this basis. He can build a theoretical tool for all of these questions!

After writing the title of the paper on the draft, the ark closed its eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, all he had left was an unprecedented focus on calm.

All the padding work has been done in the last six months.

For this moment, he has collected a great deal of data.

And now, for all the work, it's time to finish!

……

Time passed day by day, and the paper basket in the corner of the study gradually piled up and gradually buried in the invisible outline of the thrown paper.

Whenever the ark was tired, it turned to sleep in the bedroom and woke up and went back to the study to continue thinking.

Unless he ate and drank lassard, he never even went down the stairs.

As for going out, it has never happened since the moment he started closing.

I don't know how many pencil cores I've written or how many drafts I've written. When the ark wrote the last line of formula on the A4 paper, it suddenly stopped.

Sitting there silent for about an hour, the ark suddenly grabbed its hair a little irritated and threw the ball pen in its hand and stood up.

Walking back and forth in the study, he kept crushing and repeating the same sentence.

“Chemistry requires my theoretical model…”

All of a sudden, the ark seemed to suddenly think of something, and its eyes became brighter and brighter.

He stopped and looked at the pile of paper on the table and spoke to himself.

“And I need a super...”

“An over-count for computational chemistry! ”
