The microfluidic chip for nucleic acid detection in vitro is an essential application of microfluidic technology to the process of in vitro diagnosis. The 90° bend microchannels in chip designed for facilitating assay reagent delivery may cause reagent residues and cast mutual contamination between detection reagents, which significantly affects the detection accuracy. In this paper, a two-dimensional gas–liquid two-phase flow model is constructed to simulate the liquid residue phenomenon. Using the results of simulation, the residual liquid generation can be observed and the area of residual liquid can be obtained. The accuracy of the numerical simulation is verified by comparison with the experimental results. The effects of the fillet radius R, the diameter ratio d1/d2 of the vertical to horizontal sections, the flow velocity v, and the surface roughness Ra on the residual amount are studied. We find that the fillet radius is inversely proportional to the residual amount within the range v = 20–100 mm/s and there is almost no liquid residue in the channel when the radius increases to R = 1 mm. When the channel diameter ratio d1/d2 increases, the liquid residual amount also increases by approximately 98%. The increased surface roughness Ra significantly increases the residual amount. The results of this study provide a reference for the optimal design of microchannels on chips.
Emissions by magnetic polarons and spin-coupled d-d transitions in diluted magnetic semiconductors(DMSs)have become a popular research field due to their unusual optical behaviors.In this work,high-quality NiI2(Ⅱ)-doped CdS nanobelts are synthesized via chemical vapor deposition(CVD),and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),x-ray diffraction,x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and Raman scattering.At low temperatures,the photoluminescence(PL)spectra of the Ni-doped nanobelts demonstrate three peaks near the band edge:the free exciton(FX)peak,the exciton magnetic polaron(EMP)peak out of ferromagnetically coupled spins coupled with FXs,and a small higher-energy peak from the interaction of antiferromagnetic coupled Ni pairs and FXs,called antiferromagnetic magnetic polarons(AMPs).With a higher Ni doping concentration,in addition to the d-d transitions of single Ni ions at 620 nm and 760 nm,two other PL peaks appear at 530 nm and 685 nm,attributed to another EMP emission and the d-d transitions of the antiferromagnetic coupled Ni2+-Ni2+pair,respectively.Furthermore,single-mode lasing at the first EMP is excited by a femtosecond laser pulse,proving a coherent bosonic lasing of the EMP condensate out of complicated states.These results show that the coupled spins play an important role in forming magnetic polaron and implementing related optical responses. 相似文献
Four fluorimetric probes had been developed to rapidly detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). They were designed and synthesized on the basis of 1,3,4-thiadiazole framework combining calculation with experiment. Among them, SK-1 displayed strong blue emission with fluorescence quantum yield as high as 63.6% in solution. Further evaluation demonstrated that SK-1 displays good selectivity and high sensitivity for rapid and visual detection of TNP. It brought significant changes in both colour and fluorescence emission spectrum. The detection limit was as low as 38 nM. Quenching mechanism was confirmed as photo-induced electron transfer (PET) by nuclear magnetic titration and DFT calculations. What’s more, application in real water samples and solid phase paper tests illustrated the practical significance of detection of TNP in both vapor and solution.
