I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Before the Spring Festival, the FASTER project team continued to dope germanium, tin, lead, germanium tin, germanium lead, tin lead, germanium tin lead, and germanium tin lead in the cerium aluminum copper amorphous. Various combinations and different composition ratios have been tried. , valid sample numbers have been programmed up to A21.

After testing, the non-micro-nano processing performance is the best for the cerium-aluminum-copper amorphous metal plastic doped with germanium and lead, and the sample number is A18.

Samples with excellent micro-nano processing performance still need further research and preparation.

For several months, Shen Qi has studied various metal elements every day and led the team to synthesize and prepare various amorphous alloys. In the laboratory, he feels that he is 1/3 of a mathematician, 1/3 of a physicist, and 1/3 of a physicist. 3 chemists.

For this reason, Shen Qi spent more than 2 million Xueba points to upgrade chemistry to the master level of level 11. During the Spring Festival, he consulted a large number of chemical literature, mainly inorganic chemistry.

The upgrade to master level in chemistry seems to have played a role. Shen Qi repeatedly studied all the elements in the periodic table and decided to make a fundamental change.

After the Spring Festival, Shen Qi sat in the office of the director of the center and occasionally went to the laboratory to check the progress of the experiments.

The other two keys of the laboratory were handed over to Yang Dingtian and Tang Yuan for safekeeping, these two were regarded as Shen Qi's right-hand man in physics.

Shen Qi called Yang Dingtian and Tang Yuan to the office, and said to his right-hand man: "Maybe it's not a matter of doping elements, but the master we chose is not suitable. After my thorough research, I think that gallium can be used instead of cerium-aluminum-copper. Aluminum in the ternary system, the master of the new ternary system is cerium-gallium-copper amorphous. I have a basis for making structural adjustments.”

Shen Qi operated his computer, Yang and Tang moved a chair each, and sat behind Shen Qi to study and observe.

Through computer simulation, combined with first principles and Shen Qi's 4 theoretical elements of condensed matter physics, Shen Qi compared the electron energy density diagrams of Ce70Al10Cu20 and Ce70Ga10Cu20 in the computer.

"Look, the electron energy density of cerium-4f in cerium-aluminum-copper is significantly higher than that in the cerium-gallium-copper amorphous ternary system. What does this mean?" Shen Qi pointed to the computer screen and asked the two Deli go-getters.

Tang Yuan answered: "This shows that cerium-4f electrons are more delocalized in the cerium-gallium-copper system."

"That's right." Shen Qi nodded, and controlled the mouse and keyboard to perform a new operation.

The simulation software shows that in the Ce-Al-Cu system, the Al-3p electronic orbital and the Ce-4f and Ce-5d electronic orbitals are very weakly hybridized.

On the contrary, in the Ce-Ga-Cu system, there is a strong interaction between the Ga-4p electronic orbital and the Ce-4f and Ce-5d electronic orbitals, which makes the partially localized Ce-4f1 transform into a non-localized state Ce-4f0.

Shen Qi asked: "What does this mean?"

It was still Tang Yuan's quick answer, he patted his forehead suddenly: "This shows that the interaction between the chemical potential of gallium and the cerium atom leads to the appearance of some non-localized cerium-4f0, so that the chemical bond between cerium and cerium is shortened. .Considering the FASTER project, in theory, the new cerium-gallium-copper ternary system will have a local atomic arrangement structure that better meets our requirements... I can’t explain the theoretical basis behind it, which involves defect topology and even complexity , anyway, I probably understand what Academician Shen means."

"OK, he understood, what about you?" Shen Qi turned to ask Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian replied: "Understood."

"Then the research and development of the A series of samples ends here, and A21 is the last one. Starting today, we enter the research and development experiment stage of the B series. The master plate of the B series is the ternary system of cerium, gallium and copper. First, we will make this alloy ingot Let's go." Shen Qi assigned a new task, and Yang and Tang led the order to the laboratory.

The output of gallium is low, and the price is more expensive than aluminum. Replacing aluminum with gallium means that the cost of experiments and subsequent commercialization will increase.

That's also something that can't be helped. In the experimental research and development stage, Shen Qi needs to consider economic benefits, but he can't be restricted by non-academic factors.

Excellent scientists must have a highly forward-looking vision. In case of a breakthrough in the application technology of extracting and preparing high-purity gallium, the cost problem will not be a problem.

In any case, Shen Qi's elite physics team successfully developed an excellent metal-plastic material in a short period of time based on Shen Qi's self-created condensed matter physics theory system. The sample number is A18, and the official name to be announced is Ce-Al. -Cu metal plastic.

This kind of metal plastic is doped with a certain ratio of germanium and lead. This conclusion can be made public, but the specific ratio must not be made public, and it is only known within the project team.

The A18 sample is the wisdom crystallization of Shen Qi's team's collective efforts, a scientific and technological achievement, and a patent.

Next, Shen Qi knew exactly what to do, applied for patent protection, and published the research results of the A18 sample.

Before doing these two things, Shen Qi asked the other 11 members of the project team to sign a supplementary confidentiality agreement.

When they joined the project team, the physics researchers had already signed a non-disclosure agreement.

At that time, no specific research results were produced, but now there is a scientific research result, and the project team has certain scientific assets, so the researchers have to sign a supplementary confidentiality agreement.

Black and white, signed and drawn.

Everyone signed.

Shen Qi collected 11 supplementary confidentiality agreements: "Okay, now that we have signed and pledged, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. FASTER is a national key scientific research project, and divulging any scientific research secrets of this project is tantamount to treason."

Shen Qi spoke very seriously, and everyone listened carefully.

"Everyone assumes responsibilities and risks, and there will naturally be equal rewards." After talking about the tragic end of the traitors, Shen Qi then talked about the benefits of being loyal to the motherland and joining the FASTER project team: "I have spent a lot of time in American academia. Before the 1980s, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in the United States was as chaotic as it was in my country before 2010."

"Later, the U.S. came out with the Bayh-Dole Act. Today, the conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements and patent achievements in the U.S. exceeds 80%. Patent inventors receive both fame and fortune, and companies are willing to pay. In 2007, the "Science and Technology Progress Law", after 2010, several items were added and revised in the "Science and Technology Progress Law", Zhongguancun is a trial operation base, and the state encourages technological innovation and industrialization."

"Of course, the situation in China and the United States is different. Most of the famous American schools are private, and the degree of government intervention is very low. But we are pleased to see that China is also making changes. At least we walk a few steps outside the gate of Yanda University. The Zhongguancun area can flex its muscles and reap reasonable rewards." When Shen Qi said this, he found that the researchers looked excited.

Who wouldn't be happy to get a fair and reasonable reward?

In Zhongguancun, central public institutions, namely top universities such as Yanda University and Shuimu University, have autonomy in technological innovation.

In layman's terms, Yanda University and Mizuki have special privileges, and their scientific patent transactions can be directly negotiated with enterprises and reported to the Ministry of Finance for record.

This is a good thing for Yanda and Shuimu's scientific researchers. As long as scientific research results are produced, it will be easier and more secure to make money.

Shen Qi wanted to find a buyer for the A18 sample, and what they were selling was the patent development right.

This involves some professional procedures. After the patent protection of the A18 sample is completed and the academic paper on the A18 sample is published, Shen Qi will arrange a professional team to contact the corporate buyer.
