Application of laser photoacoustic spectroscopy for the detection of water vapor near 1.38 μm

Laser photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy is applied for the determination of the trace content of water vapor using a differential Helmholtz resonant (DHR) cell and a narrow bandwidth diode laser operating near 1380 nm. The PA spectroscopy revealed a rich absorption spectra in this wavelength region and the observed result was compared with the HITRAN database. A multipass optical system was also developed by adopting one aluminum-coated flat mirror with a small uncoated spot for the laser introduction to the detection chamber and one aluminum-coated concave mirror. The multipass optical system enabled the enhancement of the PA signal up to eight times when compared to the single pass case. The calibration curve was plotted by measuring PA signals for various pressures of the water vapor. The sensitivity of the PA detection system is estimated as 7.3×10¹² molecules cm⁻³ with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 1.

Single-detector micro-electro-mechanical scanning grating spectrometer

A compact, robust grating spectrometer based on an optimised micro-electro-mechanical grating mirror component has been developed, built, and characterised. The application of an oscillating reflection grating micro-mirror component as scanning dispersive element in a modified Czerny–Turner monochromator layout enables the design of compact grating spectrometers capable of acquiring full spectra using a single detector element. Designed for a wavelength range between 1200 and 1900 nm, the spectrometer features a spectral resolution of 10 nm with wavelength stability better than ±0.5 nm. One-hundred scan spectra can be acquired in less than one second, or spectral changes can be monitored at time a resolution of less than 10 ms. In combination with a fibre-optic interface and a typical weight of less than 1 kg, this makes this novel type of fully portable micro-electro-mechanical near-IR scanning spectrometer an interesting alternative to existing spectrometers and opens a range of new applications, in particular the detection of major and minor components in the near-IR.

WAVELENGTH DEPENDENCE FOR THE INDUCTION OF BACTERIOPHAGE LAMBDA BY ANTITUMOR AGENT GILVOCARCIN V

The wavelength dependence for the induction of a lambda- lacZ fusion phage of E. coli by photo-activated gilvocarcin V was determined using a spot test or a quantitative assay for the lacZ gene product. Suspensions of bacteria and chemical were exposed to radiation of different wavelengths in the region 313-546 nm, using a double grating monochromator. The prophage induction profiles generated were similar to the absorption spectrum of gilvocarcin V in this region, with a peak near 400 nm. The radiation fluence and chemical concentration required for threshold levels of prophage induction exhibited a nearly reciprocal relationship. These results have implications for the therapeutic use of gilvocarcins as antitumor agents.     

EFFECT OF PARTICLE SIZE ON THE FILMING PROCESS OF POLYSTYRENE LATEX STUDIED BY AFM

The film formation process of micro-PS particles (diameter 742 nm) and nano-PS particles (diameter 29 nm) wasstudied by atomic force microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. During a step heating process, the particles wereannealed for 0.5 h at each selected temperature. It was found that the deformation and interdiffusion temperatures of themicro-PS particles are ca. 120-130℃ and 140-150℃, that of the nano-PS particles are 90℃ and 100-110℃ respectively.The DSC traces of nano-PS particles showed that there was an exothermic peak near T_g after annealing for 0.5 h at theselected temperatures below 90℃; otherwise, the exothermic peak disappeared after annealing at 100℃ or above. Comparedwith the micro-PS pedicles, the sintering process of nano-PS particles occurs at much lower temperature determined by theconfined state of polymer chains with higher conformational energy in nano-particles, and completes in a much narrowertemperature range driven mainly by the larger total surface energy.

High magnetization helical carbon nanofibers produced by nanoparticle catalysis

Helical carbon nanofibers were synthesized by means of acetylene pyrolysis at 450 degrees C using Fe nanoparticles as catalyst. There is no need to modify the Fe nanoparticles by a chiral reagent. The carbon nanofibers generated are crystalline and symmetric, with the (110) plane of Fe particle being the mirror plane. There would be a change in the shape of the nanofibers if the temperature at the beginning or during the synthesis were altered. Compared to the helical carbon nanofibers reported elsewhere in the literature, our samples show higher magnetization.

Influence of Gold Nanoshell on Hyperthermia of Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs)

Gold nanoshell around super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) was synthesized and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis suggests a gold coating of approximately 0.4 to 0.5 nm thickness. On application of low frequency oscillating magnetic fields (44 - 430 Hz), a four- to five-fold increase in the amount of heat released with gold-coated SPIONs (6.3 nm size) in comparison with SPIONs (5.4 nm size) was observed. Details of the influence of frequencies of oscillating magnetic field, concentration and solvent on heat generation are presented. We also show that, in the absence of oscillating magnetic field, both SPIONs and SPIONs@Au are not particularly cytotoxic to mammalian cells (MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells and H9c2 cardiomyoblasts) in culture, as indicated by the reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium by viable cells in a phenazine methosulfate-assisted reaction.     

POLARIZED SPECTRA OF ORIENTED PIGMENT-LIPOPROTEIN COMPLEXES FROM THE PURPLE BACTERIUM: Chromatium minutissimum

Abstract— Polarized absorption, fluorescence and photoacoustic spectra of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl)-lipoprotein complexes from the purple bacterium Chromatium minutissimum oriented in stretched polyvinylalcohol films were measured at room temperature and 85 K. The preparations contain large amounts of the B800-820 antenna complexes. From polarized absorption spectra taken under various light beam incidence angles with respect to the film plane, conclusions concerning arrangement of pigment molecules in B800-820 complex are obtained. The transition moments of the BChl Q_y band are not exactly parallel to the membrane plane. It seems that there are pools of differently oriented BChl chromophores absorbing in both 800 nm and 820 nm regions. Change in temperature strongly influences linear dichroism of carotenoids and BChl Q_y bands. The reversible changes in absorption, linear dichroism and photoacoustic spectra caused by the variation in sample temperature suggest strongly the reversible twisting of carotenoid molecules, related probably to modification of the interactions between carotenoids and proteins. Various carotenoids exhibit different yield of thermal deactivation and this yield is also temperature dependent.     

MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATION OF THE RELAXATION OF A FULLY EXTENDED POLYETHYLENE CHAIN

Molecular dynamics simulation of the relaxation at 300 K of a fully extended polyethylene chain of800 CH_2 units has been carried out by following the changes in morphology, van der Waals energy, radius ofgyration in the sense of mechanics and gyration radius in the sense of Flory, population of trans-conformation and orientation factor. The relaxation went through three stages: (1) relaxation from themorphology of a straight rod of 100 nm length to the molphology close to a random coil of gyration radius5.9 nm in 110 ps; (2) collapse of the morphology of a coil to a highly compact globule close to a sphere ofgyration radius 1.3 nm after 178 ps as the result of intersegmental van der Waals attractive interactions; (3)lateral ordering of the folded chain segments in the globule without appreciable changes in the chaindimension up to 1600 ps, the time limit of present simulation. Nearly complete relaxation of local segmentalorientation was performed much faster than the relaxation of globule chain orientation even for a single chainof low degree of polymerization and at a temperature some 155℃above its T_g. The lateral ordering of thechain segments during the period 178 to 680 ps of the simulation time was found to obey the Avramiequation with an Avrami index of 1 .44.     

THE PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF p-AMINOBENZOIC ACID

We have studied the photoreactions occurring when p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a component of some sunscreens, is irradiated in aqueous solution. These studies were carried out in the presence and absence of oxygen, using light of lambda = 254 nm as well as light of wavelengths greater than 290 nm. In deoxygenated solution between pH 7.5 and 11.0, we found two photoproducts that were identified as 4-(4'-aminophenyl)aminobenzoic acid (I) and 4-(2'-amino-5'-carboxyphenyl)aminobenzoic acid (V); we used 1H and 13C NMR, electron impact mass spectrometry and synthesis by an independent route to identify each of these compounds. Rapid discoloration of the photolyzed sample was observed when PABA was irradiated in aerated solution. Although a number of products were detected under these conditions, the three most abundant stable compounds have been isolated and identified as 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-aminophenol and 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)aminobenzoic acid (IV). The latter compound was shown to result from rapid photo-induced oxidation of I in the presence of oxygen. Even in the presence of trace amounts of oxygen, the yield of I was significantly reduced in favor of IV. Studies of the thermal oxidation of I, coupled with evidence gathered from studies of the photochemistry of incompletely deoxygenated PABA solutions, indicate that 4-(2,5-cyclohexadien-4-one)iminobenzoic acid (III) is an intermediate on the pathway between I and IV. Qualitatively, we found that the photochemical reactions resulting from irradiation of PABA solutions with lambda = 254 nm light and light with lambda greater than 290 nm were the same. The quantum yields for formation of I and V are highly pH dependent, both being less than 10(-4) at pH 7 and rising steadily to values greater than 10(-3) at pH 11. The detailed pH dependence suggests that the deprotonated PABA radical cation may be an important intermediate entering into the reactions forming I and IV.
