I Have a Research Support System

On Tuesday, Xu Qiu slept until nine o'clock and didn't get up. The effect of the alcohol last night has not completely subsided.

After lying on the side of the bed for a while, Xu Qiu picked up the mobile phone next to the desk and sent a message to Han Jiaying, and then saw the email from the counselor Yu Qiang:

Fw: Document No. 78 of Shanghai Comprehensive University in 20xx on the relocation plan of laboratories of science and engineering departments.

The red-headed document really came. Xu Qiu muttered, and clicked on the email to check the text.

Metropolitan Comprehensive University Document (20xx) No. 78

All units, colleges, departments and institutes:

From now on, the eight departments including the School of Mathematical Sciences, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Physics, the Department of Biological Sciences, the Department of Materials Science, the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, the Department of Polymer Science, and the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the research groups and experimental The office needs to be moved to the Jiangwan campus in an orderly manner, and only the necessary undergraduate teaching facilities will be retained...

The eight major science and engineering departments, the Department of Mathematics, which have no laboratories, are the best to move, as long as you bring the bookcases, computers, etc., the other seven departments have their own laboratories and experimental equipment, and it is estimated that there will be resistance to relocation bigger.

This time, the school has almost caught all the science and engineering departments. Among the departments of science and engineering, there is only one Department of Nuclear Science and Technology as the fish that slipped through the net. It will continue to stay at the Handan campus of the headquarters. Maybe it is inconvenient to move?

In fact, Xu Qiu has always been curious about what the Department of Nuclear Science and Technology is usually researching. It should not be secretly making mushrooms. It is probably just learning theories and studying how to deal with nuclear waste.

It is said that the mushrooms of flower growers are all over the country, on high-speed railways, on trucks, in deep mountains, in air-raid shelters, everywhere, I don't know if it is true or not.

In addition to the red-headed documents in the email, there are supplementary instructions from the counselor at the back:

The postgraduate freshmen of the Materials Department in September need to choose their own dormitory location, whether it is in Handan or Jiangwan, and they must complete the confirmation in the school's URP system before August 15th, and they can choose again after one year. If confirmed, the school will default to the Jiangwan campus. The relocation of departments and laboratories may last for a long time, and once the science and engineering system is relocated to Jiangwan, the dormitory resources may be relatively tight. It is recommended that students consider carefully...

The counselors are still more considerate of the students, almost expressly saying don't choose Jiangwan for the dormitory, while the school is more inclined to get the students to Jiangwan, but it is not enforced, just playing the game of drawing salary from the bottom.

After Xu Qiu woke up, he casually sent a message to Wei Xingsi saying, I'll be there later. After a brief wash, he went to the Family Mart convenience store to buy a package of prunes, vegetables and meat, and a custard package. One direction to go.

On the way, he received a message from Mr. Wei, Come to my office when you arrive.

After ten o'clock in the morning, Caiyi 218.

Teacher Wei, you are looking for me. Xu Qiu greeted him proactively.

Wei Xingsi gave a hmm, beckoned Xu Qiu to come to his side, and said, The school's documents about moving the laboratory have come down.

What a coincidence, Xu Qiu responded, I also received an email from the counselor. He asked us to choose a dormitory in advance, Jiangwan and Handan, and we can choose again a year later.

Wei Xingsi said without hesitation: Then let's live here in Handan first. It is estimated that the renovation of the Jiangwan side will take half a year, and the whole laboratory will also take half a year to move there. Let's go there after everything is done.

I think so too, Xu Qiu paused, and said, By the way, after my graduation, the undergraduate dormitory will not be available until July 16th...

Let's think about it, the research group's holiday time this year is still in August, Wei Xingsi thought for a while, and said, Either you can find a short-term rental house near the school for two months, and I can reimburse the rent.

I'll try to look for it. Xu Qiu answered, thinking in his heart, if the holidays are from August 1st to 15th, the undergraduate dormitory can live until July 16th, and the graduate student dormitory will be around August 2nd. It will be open for occupancy on the 10th, so if you stay for two weeks before the holiday and one week after the holiday, it will only add up to 20 days, and it will be too much trouble to find a house and move.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiu said: It's really impossible. I live in Zhangjiang and I can make it up for a while.

After normal undergraduate graduates leave the school, the campus card will be cancelled, except for the students of the school’s insurance graduate school. Their campus card use rights will be retained until September 15th. Eating, bathing, and school buses can be used normally , so even if you live in Zhangjiang temporarily, it won't be too much inconvenience.

You decide for yourself, Wei Xingsi nodded: Anyway, if you rent a house, ask me for reimbursement. If you have any other needs, you can communicate with me in time.

Afterwards, Teacher Wei continued the previous topic: The allocation rules for Jiangwan's new laboratory have come out, and it is now the public announcement period. Our group's scientific research funding in three years is more than 2.4 million, ranking fifth in the department. In terms of scientific research results , the conversion score is 100 points, ranking first in the department and third overall. In the end, the department assigned us two laboratories with a total area of ​​about 153 square meters. They are located on the fifth floor of the Jiangwan Advanced Materials Building. Room 522.

Wei Xingsi retrieved the architectural drawings of the Jiangwan Advanced Materials Building from the computer. The two laboratories 520 and 522 are adjacent to each other, with an area of ​​77.2 square meters and 76.1 square meters respectively. The overall shape is square, of course not standard. A square shape with a corridor on one side, a window on the other, and walls on both sides.

Wei Xingsi continued pointing to the drawings and introduced: Room 513 here is my office, which is slightly smaller than Room 218 in my side, only 18.7 square meters. Your student's office has become a large unified office in the department. A cubicle room for 20 or 30 people is located on the 4th and 7th floors respectively. Our ranking is relatively high, so we have the right to choose in this regard. Of course, this is not urgent.

The first problem to be solved now is that we need to design a laboratory from scratch. You, Feifei Wu and Yun Duan are in charge of this work. Feifei Wu participated in the design of our first-generation laboratories in Handan and Zhangjiang before, and has some experience. Yun Yun Duan is good at CAD drawing and can help with drawing. I have already worked with them I've said it.

The general plan is an organic laboratory and another device and characterization laboratory. You are in charge of coordinating and making the preliminary design drawings as soon as possible. Is there a glove box? It can be designed first, and then we will discuss it together and make a choice.

Well, okay. Xu Qiu nodded, DIYing a laboratory by himself, it's pretty good after thinking about it, he just patted his head, and then the younger brothers took care of the work...

Wei Xingsi's voice interrupted Xu Qiu's random thoughts: Tian Qing has already confirmed that Ronald will come to our place for an exchange visit from July 6th to 9th, that is, from Tuesday to Friday next week. By the way, he has a lot of information about our recent visits. I am very interested in the field of non-fullerenes, and I can communicate with him at that time.

Do you want to prepare PPT or something? Xu Qiu asked.

That's not necessary, this time it's mainly Ronald's report. For us, we can just use the PPT that we exchanged with Gong Yuanjiang before. After Wei Xingsi explained, he asked again: There is no problem with the management of your subordinates now, right? What is the experimental plan after that?

There's nothing wrong with the management, it's just... Xu Qiu said coyly.

What is it? Wei Xingsi asked curiously.

That's right, there's still a little shortage of manpower... Xu Qiu scratched his head and said.

Still short?! Wei Xingsi exaggeratedly exclaimed, and then laughed and said, If Wu Feifei and the others hear this, they will probably give you a good beating. You can see for yourself. Except for the five people in organic photovoltaics, the other There is only one person in the field, and there were originally two people in Perovskite, but Sun Wo hasn’t come here after going back for so long.”

It's not that the more the better. Xu Qiu said with a smile. In fact, he didn't expect to add more people in a while, but just said it smoothly, so he could only continue talking.

After a pause, Xu Qiu returned to the topic: For future experimental planning, there are still many directions to be studied in the ITIC system, such as the regulation of the side chain of the D unit, further optimization of the conjugation length of the D unit, the type of group of the A unit, Quantity and location, research on the mechanism of ITIC series of non-fullerene acceptors, research on organic photovoltaic industrialization, including non-halogen solvents, flexible substrates, large-area devices, semi-transparent devices, and stacks to further improve device performance Device...

It sounds like there is a lack of people. Wei Xing thought for a while, and said: You will be the doctoral student in the next semester, and Sun Wo will be the master's student. There are no enrollment places. I'll see if I can find a few undergraduates. Well, but it might be difficult to recruit someone as powerful as you and Han Jiaying.

Xu Qiu nodded, did not answer, and continued to talk about his recent experimental plan: I originally wanted to make IT-2F and IT-M materials based on monofluorine and monomethyl substituted ICIN groups, but now it seems that time is too late. , mainly light source data, the next test is estimated to wait until September. There is still about a month before the holiday, I plan to sort out the articles of the IT-4F and IT-DM systems first, and discard them.”

Are these two jobs the ones whose performance exceeds 11%? Wei Xingsi asked, because he is not a front-line experimenter, so he really can't remember the specific experimental data, and can only have a vague rough idea in his mind. , even Xu Qiu occasionally forgets some experimental data, and even goes to the simulation laboratory to look through the test records.

That's right. Xu Qiu nodded. Among them, the system based on IT-4F, IT-DM acceptor and PBDB-T, H22 donor has a maximum efficiency of more than 11%, while the H43 system based on IT-4F and Xuemei has a maximum efficiency of more than 12%.

Work should be done step by step, and articles should be published step by step. The system of H43:IT-4F revolves around H43, and Xu Qiu intends to publish it after the system of H22:IT-4F.

What journal do you plan to submit to? Wei Xingsi asked again.

IT-4F involves a lot of synthesis. Let's vote for Germany Yinghua. I have basically voted for AM-level mainstream top journals. I want to try this this time. Another IT-DM system plans to vote for AM. Xu Xu Qiu responded that both JACS and Angew are the top journals in chemistry, with similar levels. Relatively speaking, JACS is more recognized in the beautiful country, and Angew is more recognized in Europe.

German Yinghua, Angew, Wei Xing thought for a while, and said, Okay, before the holiday, we will try to get these two jobs out.
