Study on the toxic interaction of methanol, ethanol and propanol against the bovine hemoglobin (BHb) on molecular level

The toxic interaction of methanol, ethanol and propanol with bovine hemoglobin (BHb) at protein molecular level was studied by resonance light scattering (RLS), fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV-vis) and circular dichroism (CD) techniques. The experimental results showed that the three alcohols all had toxic effects on BHb and the effects increased along with the increasing alcohol dose. The results of RLS and fluorescence spectroscopy showed that alcohols can denature BHb. They changed the microenvironment of amino acid residues and led to molecular aggregation. The decreasing order of the influence is propanol, ethanol and methanol. The results of UV-vis and CD spectra revealed that alcohols led to conformational changes of BHb, including the loosening of the skeleton structure and the decreasing of α-helix in the second structure. The changes generated by propanol were much larger than those by methanol and ethanol.

PbBi3低温合金薄膜的制备和超导性质

铋(Bi)和铅(Pb)都是重元素,有很强的自旋-轨道耦合作用,由于原子半径接近,可形成丰富的原子取代合金结构.尽管对高温合金相有了较深入的研究,但对其低温物相的结构和超导物性的认识还很不全面.本文采用低温共沉积和低温退火的方法,在Si(111)-(7×7)衬底上制备了一种基于Bi(110)单晶结构中部分Bi原子被Pb取代的铅铋合金低温相超薄膜新结构,利用扫描隧道显微术(STM)对其结构和电子学性质进行了表征.通过结构表征,确定了合金薄膜表面呈现2^1/2×2^1/2R45°重构的PbBi₃合金相,其母体Bi(110)结构中25%的Bi原子被Pb取代了.通过STM谱学测量,发现合金相PbBi₃为超导相.变温实验表明, PbBi₃相的超导转变温度为6.13 K.在外加垂直磁场下出现的磁通涡旋结构表明PbBi₃薄膜是第Ⅱ类超导体,估算出上临界磁场的下限为0.92 T.测量了由Bi(110)-PbBi₃组成的共面型和台阶型正常金属-超导体异质结中...     

Design of an all-dielectric long-wave infrared wide-angle metalens

Optical metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of nano-scatterers that modify optical wavefronts at subwavelength spatial resolution. They achieve the effect of focusing through phase control under a subwavelength scale, and are called metalenses. They are poised to revolutionize optics by enabling complex low-cost systems. However, there are severe monochromatic aberrations in the metasurfaces. In this paper, the coma of the long-wave infrared optical system is eliminated through a single-layer metasurface. By changing the phase function, this metalens has a numerical aperture of 0.89, a focal length of 150 μm and a field of view of 120° (0.4@60 line pairs/mm) that enables diffraction-limited monochromatic imaging along the focal plane at a wavelength of 10.6 μm. The designed metasurface maintains a favorable value of the modulation transfer function at different angles. This equipment can be widely used in imaging and industrial processing.     

Recent advances in two-dimensional layered and non-layered materials hybrid heterostructures

With the development of Moore's law, the future trend of devices will inevitably be shrinking and integration to further achieve size reduction. The emergence of new two-dimensional non-layered materials (2DNLMs) not only enriches the 2D material family to meet future development, but also stimulates the global enthusiasm for basic research and application technologies in the 2D field. Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, in which two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) are physically stacked layer by layer, can also occur between 2DLMs and 2DNLMs hybrid heterostructures, providing an alternative platform for nanoelectronics and optoelectronic applications. Here, we outline the recent developments of 2DLMs/2DNLMs hybrid heterostructures, with particular emphasis on major advances in synthetic methods and applications. And the categories and crystal structures of 2DLMs and 2DNLMs are also shown. We highlight some promising applications of the heterostructures in electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. Finally, we provide conclusions and future prospects in the 2D materials field.

Foam consolidation and drainage

A theoretical model of foam as a consolidating continuum is proposed. The general model is applied to foam in a gravity settler. It is predicted that liquid drainage from foam in a gravity settler begins with a slow drainage stage. Next, a stage with faster drainage occurs where the drainage rate doubles compared to the initial stage. The experiments conducted within the framework of this work confirmed the theoretical predictions and allowed measurements of foam characteristics. Foams of three different concentrations of Pantene Pro-V Classic Care Solutions shampoo were studied, as well as the addition of polyethylene oxide (PEO) in one case. The shampoo's main foaming components are sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate. It is shown to what extent foam drainage is slowed down by using higher shampoo concentrations and how it is further decreased by adding polymer (PEO).
