The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 229: Involution in the Three Major Academic Circles
Picking up the draft paper in front of him, Xiao Yi browsed through the model on it and a smile appeared on his face.

All this effort has not been in vain.

As for why it is named the carbon solution diagram, it is mainly because Xiao Yi borrowed the idea of ​​the Feynman diagram.

Feynman diagram is a method created by the famous physicist Richard Feynman, which can deal with the diagram of various particle interactions in quantum fields from a very visual perspective.

After analyzing the element carbon, it is ultimately composed of an atomic nucleus and extranuclear electrons. In essence, it is no different from any other element.

Just like different stars, they are all composed of stars and planets, but the mass of the stars is different and the number of planets is also different.

Therefore, the idea of ​​Feynman diagram plays a very important role in this.

However, Feynman diagrams can handle a variety of different particles, while carbon solution diagrams focus on carbon, so more detailed analysis can be achieved in any research related to carbon.

At the same time, the carbon solution diagram is also more compatible.

This means that various other analysis methods can also be integrated with the carbon-lysis diagram. Whether it is quantum field theory, quantum chromodynamics, statistical mechanics, quantum Hodge theory, etc. in quantum mechanics, or various analysis techniques in mathematics, etc., they can all be used in the carbon-lysis diagram without any hindrance.

The same is true for some special theories such as BCS theory and Xiao's superconductivity theory.

This also brings greater improvement to the effect that the carbon solution diagram can produce.

"Well... In this case, using computer analysis methods will have a significant effect, especially in terms of structure."

Xiao Yi touched his chin.

"In addition, not only carbon, but also other elements can also produce various hydrogen decomposition diagrams, oxygen decomposition diagrams, iron decomposition diagrams, etc. through my analysis method."

Moreover, it is possible that the decomposition diagrams of these different elements can be combined with each other to analyze compounds containing certain elements separately. For example, water can be analyzed by combining the hydrogen decomposition diagram and the oxygen decomposition diagram.

However, Xiao Yi doesn't have the time to do this kind of repetitive work.

Publish the paper on the carbon decomposition diagram first, and other people in the academic community will do the rest of the work.

His groundbreaking paper is worthy of being published in PRL or JACS, etc., and his second paper is also worthy of being published in PRL and JACS. After all, the second paper is a verification of his groundbreaking paper, which is also very important.

The value of papers of other elements published later will decrease successively. However, I think that even if it is not at the level of top journals, it will be completely fine to be published in second-tier journals, and the bottom line is that they will be in the first zone.

"Tsk, if you think about it this way, I have brought dozens of top papers to the field of physical chemistry in one go?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.

Then he stopped talking nonsense and started to organize his paper.

There is not much content. It simply gives some analysis ideas, and then you can put the model up directly.

In the end, there were only 12 pages of content.

Of course, there are more literatures that need to be cited. After all, he used quite a lot of theories, so the number of literature citations is naturally relatively large.

All in all it adds up to about 20 pages.

Until finally, the paper was completed and started to be uploaded.

Although this paper was good enough to be published in PRL or JACS, he of course uploaded it directly to his personal website in the end.

In short, unless there are other authors or papers like the explosion trend theory that need to play a publicity role, his papers will basically only be posted on his personal website.

Of course, it is precisely because of these reasons that his personal website is becoming more and more famous, and people who want to read his papers will go directly to his personal website to look for them.

When other people want to cite his papers, except for those that have already been published, they basically directly cite the link to his personal website. If his personal website is also regarded as a journal, then the impact factor of his personal website is almost dozens.

Soon, the paper upload was completed.

"OK, the next thing we need to study is to use the carbon solution diagram to build the structure."

Xiao Yi has long been eager to achieve this ultimate goal.

We have been studying the carbon decomposition diagram for a month or so, isn’t it just for this purpose?
No more nonsense, let’s get started.

First of all, it should be made clear that for a material to be able to resist high-energy neutrons and high-temperature plasma, the strength of the chemical bonds between atoms is quite important.

The covalent bond is undoubtedly the first choice.

This is why carbon composites can be one of the options, because the chemical bond between carbon and carbon is a covalent bond.
Secondly, density is also important. The denser the first wall material is, the stronger it is. Similarly, it can more effectively withstand the impact of high-energy particles.

In addition, thermal conductivity is also very important. If a material can transfer heat in a very short time, it will naturally be more suitable as a first wall material.

In addition to these conditions, there are also some requirements including mechanical strength and chemical stability.

All in all, the first wall material can definitely be regarded as the pinnacle of all materials.

After determining these important conditions, Xiao Yi began to design the structure.

With the carbon solution diagram, he can easily design various carbon structures that can exist in theory, and then use computers to simulate the properties of carbon under such structures.

Of course, with his key killer weapon: material mastery, he can synthesize this substance very easily.

Just like that, time passed quietly.

……

On the other hand, after the paper was uploaded and appeared on his personal website, it was discovered by people as expected.

During this period, the discussion on the aperture acceleration phenomenon has not stopped at all, and quite a lot of people are still discussing this issue.

Although the person who was pushed out for the interview was Liu Xiaodong, as a well-known key figure, Xiao Yi was of course still a hot figure that people paid attention to.

As a result, with various publicity and forwarding, his paper quickly spread in the academic community.

This time, it is not just the physics community that is paying attention, but also the chemistry and materials communities that are concerned.

In fact, this paper has a total of 20 pages, but only 12 pages of formal content, which seems a bit too incredible.
……

The Graphene Institute, University of Manchester, United Kingdom.

In an office, Andre Geim was looking at a paper on his computer.

The Graphene Institute, as the name suggests, specializes in the study of graphene.

As a material with many magical properties, scientists have long discovered that graphene has many prospects for industrial applications.

Although 20 years have passed and it has not yet been used on a large scale, it is undeniable that it has always been a popular material at the forefront of the scientific community.

Otherwise, its discoverer would not have won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Andre Geim is the discoverer of graphene.

Back then, he and his student Konstantin Novoselov used tape to repeatedly stick on a piece of graphite and finally discovered this magical material.

So sometimes, luck is still very important.

At this moment, Andre Game's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a message from WhatsApp.

He took a look and found that it was sent by his former student Konstantin Novoselov.

Andre Game raised his eyebrows and opened it. It was a PDF file.

Then Konstantin Novoselov sent another message: [Andrei, take a look at this paper! Oh my God, I can't believe that carbon can be studied in this way! ]

Andre Game couldn't help but become interested. What could make his student so excited?
Replied a message: [Wait for me to see]

Then he downloaded the PDF file and clicked on it. First, the title.

The title is very simple, it's called Analysis diagram of carbon.

Anyway, when Xiao Yi wrote this paper, he didn't think about publishing it, so of course the title was as simple as possible.

However, this made Andre Game a little confused.

"What does this title mean? Does it mean that this is an analysis chart specifically for the element carbon?"

But what is there to write about this kind of thing? Doesn’t everyone know what carbon is?
However, considering that this paper was sent by his student and Constantine highly recommended it, he still read on patiently.

At this time, he also saw that the author of the paper was Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi? Isn't that the Xiao Yi I was thinking of?"

He couldn't help but think.

And as he began to read the main text, "Okay, it's really him!"

Almost everyone in the academic community knows Xiao Yi's writing style.

Andre Geim is no exception and can be recognized at first sight.

"I've never seen Xiao Yi write this paper before, so... is this paper his latest achievement?"

And it just happens to be related to his research!

There is a saying in the academic world nowadays: "If you study mathematics, physics, chemistry, or materials science, but have never read Xiao Yi's papers, then it only means that you are still an ordinary scholar; if you are already a senior scholar, when you don't know what papers to read, then go read Xiao Yi's papers, and you will have a deeper understanding. 】

As for Xiao Yi’s new paper, it is even more worth reading.

As a result, his interest increased and he began to read on.

In this way, as time passed, he gradually understood why Constantine praised this paper so highly.

This innovative idea...

This new analytical method...

The amazement in his heart made him even more emotional.

It would be unjust if Xiao Yi didn't win the Nobel Prize!

Just like that, he finished reading the 12 pages quickly.

"It's really... amazing thinking as always."

"It's just one element, but it can be analyzed in such detail..."

"Then if we use other elements, will it be possible...?"

Andre Geim could easily relate to this.

He also soon realized that if he could really do it, he could at least publish it in a top journal or something.

If it is published quickly, a top journal will be no problem at all.

Especially some popular elements.

For example, carbon is a very popular element, and there are too many people studying it.

Then there are elements like hydrogen, oxygen, copper, iron, etc.

The more common it is, the more popular it is. After all, commonality means low cost and a wider range of uses.

The more popular it is, the higher the number of citations will be, and naturally, the more likely it will be favored by those journals.

However, after Andre Game's heart was moved for a while, he shook his head.

Forget it, he should stop thinking about this kind of thing.

It is not easy to write such a paper. First of all, you have to master various relevant theories. If the theories you have mastered are not comprehensive, then you naturally cannot guarantee the comprehensiveness of the final analysis diagram, and the journal editor may not accept it.

But how many people in this world can be like Xiao Yi, who can not only master various methods of quantum mechanics, but also various methods in mathematics?

Andre Game shook his head helplessly. It was impossible for him anyway, and it was obvious that no one else would be able to do it either.

He estimated that in the end these papers would definitely be completed by quite a number of collaborators.

Then he opened WhatsApp and sent a message to his students.

[I have finished reading the paper. It is a very wonderful paper. It is worthy of being written by Xiao Yi. Thank you for sharing. ]

After a while, Constantine sent a message: [Haha, I told you! How about it? Now I have a good idea. If we use the carbon decomposition diagram to analyze graphene, can it also help us discover more properties related to graphene? In other words, we can also find some materials with similar structures to graphene based on the carbon decomposition diagram, etc. I already have quite a lot of ideas in my mind. ]

Andre Geim's eyes lit up when he saw the ideas proposed by Constantine.

[Very good, your ideas are all very good, I think we should really try them, then let's meet tomorrow and have a good talk.]

Just like when they first thought of using tape to stick to graphite, they had a lot of ideas, even though some of them were not very useful.

For example, Andre Geim once won the Ig Nobel Prize, and he became the only scientist to win both the Ig Nobel Prize and the Nobel Prize, and he was also included in the Guinness World Records for this.

……

As more people read Xiao Yi's paper, more scholars in the academic community were amazed at how Xiao Yi could always come up with such wonderful ideas.

But they also had to admit that even if they came up with such an idea, they simply did not have the ability to realize it. They had to find someone to cooperate with to complete it, and there was a high probability that they would find not just one but quite a few collaborators.

Not only do we need physics experts, we also need mathematics experts, and most likely chemistry experts. At the same time, they must be able to master enough methods. Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to be as comprehensive as Xiao Yi's carbon decomposition diagram.

So much so that some scholars started complaining about it online.

Among them, a professor from the Department of Materials Science at the University of California, Berkeley expressed his views on his X.

[First of all, I must say that Xiao Yi's carbon decomposition diagram is definitely an achievement of great significance to both chemistry and materials.

But I still want to ask, what is it that Xiao Yi doesn’t understand?
Oh my God, I never thought that I could see quantum field theory, quantum chromodynamics, quantum Hodge theory, Feynman diagrams, algebraic geometry, mathematical analysis... so many theories in a paper of only 12 pages!

So much so that I am now planning to find someone to try to come up with a silicon solution diagram, but after contacting three people, I still found that none of us can handle the content of path integrals!

My Jesus, Xiao Yi, are you really not sent by God to torture us? 】

His words were also agreed by quite a number of people.

But no way.

Although they complained, they still had to continue looking for partners in the end.

So the Berkeley professor quickly sent another message: [Thank God, we finally found a collaborator who can handle path integrals. Everyone can wait for our paper.

Hopefully we’ll be the first to complete it.】

In this way, the chemical, material, and physics communities have set off another wave of internal competition. Whoever finishes first will become the winner. As for those teams that fail to finish first, their efforts will be in vain.

However, Xiao Yi paid no attention to such things.

Because, at this time, he was gradually approaching his goal.
