PbSe量子点硅酸盐玻璃光纤的制备及光纤光致荧光光谱特性

对钠硼铝硅酸盐玻璃熔体进行拉丝,再经过退火热处理,制备得到光纤直径80~130μm的PbSe量子点玻璃裸光纤.透射电镜分析发现光纤中PbSe量子点的晶粒尺寸为4.2~5.5nm,掺杂体积比约1%.对量子点光纤的柔性进行了初步测试.以980nm泵浦激光作为激励源,用荧光光谱仪观测了量子点光纤的荧光发射谱.结果表明:合适的量子点光纤的退火条件跟块玻璃不同.当退火温度为500~600℃、热处理时间为5~10h时,观测到量子点光纤有强烈的荧光辐射,峰值波长位于1 300~1 450nm,半高全宽达200~330nm.光纤最佳退火温度为600℃、时间7.5h.本文得到的量子点玻璃光纤可进一步制备成玻璃基底的量子点光纤型增益器件光纤放大器、光纤激光器等.     

CO分子在肌红蛋白结合口袋的QM/MM动力学模拟

Myoglobin has important biological functions in storing and transporting small diatomic molecules in human body. Two possible orientations of carbon monoxide (CO) in the heme distal pocket (named as B₁ and B₂ states) of myoglobin have been experimentally indicated. In this study, ab initio quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) molecular dynamics simulation of CO in myoglobin was carried out to investigate the two possible B states. Our results demonstrate that the B₁ and B₂ states correspond to Fe…CO (with carbon atom closer to iron center of heme) and Fe…OC (with oxygen atom closer to Fe), by comparing with the experimental infrared spectrum. QM electrostatic polarization effect on CO brought from the protein and solvent environment is the main driving force, which anchors CO in two distinctive orientations and hinders its rotation. The calculated vibrational frequency shift between the state B₁ and B₂ is 13.1 cm^-1, which is in good agreement with experimental value of 11.5 cm^-1. This study also shows that the electric field produced by the solvent plays an important role in assisting protein functions by exerting directional electric field at the active site of the protein. From residue-based electric field decomposition, several residues were found to have most contributions to the total electric field at the CO center, including a few charged residues and three adjacent uncharged polar residues (namely, HIS64, ILE107, and PHE43). This study provides new physical insights on rational design of enzyme with higher electric field at the active site.     

CdS_xSe_(1-x)/ZnS(核/壳)量子点的光谱截面及其掺杂光纤的传光特性

测量了不同组份比例x的CdS_xSe_(1-x)/ZnS(核/壳)量子点的吸收谱和发射谱,确定了量子点的吸收系数、吸收截面和发射截面.量子点吸收截面随粒径的增大而增大、随x的增大而减小.采用紫外固化胶,制备了掺杂浓度为0.1~5mg/mL的CdS_(0.4)Se_(0.6)/ZnS量子点光纤,测量了不同掺杂浓度量子点光纤中473nm泵浦功率的吸收衰减速率.吸收衰减速率和吸收截面弱关联于掺杂浓度.测量了光致荧光光谱强度随光纤长度和量子点浓度的变化.量子点光纤的光致荧光峰值强度随掺杂浓度和光纤长度变化而变化,且存在一个与最大峰值强度对应的饱和掺杂浓度和光纤长度.本文的实验结果有助于进一步构建新型的CdS_xSe_(1-x)/ZnS量子点增益型光电子器件.     

固溶体MAX相(Ti0.5V0.5)3AlC2的制备及其对MgH2储氢性能的催化影响

通过无压烧结法制备了固溶体MAX相(Ti_(0.5)V_(0.5))_3AlC_2,研究了其添加对MgH_2储氢性能的影响。结果发现,固溶体MAX相(Ti_(0.5)V_(0.5))_3AlC_2中的Ti和V元素通过协同作用,呈现出更高的催化活性。添加质量分数10%(Ti_(0.5)V_(0.5))_3AlC_2的MgH_2样品的起始放氢温度为230℃,较原始MgH_2降低了60℃。在275℃下等温放氢,(Ti_(0.5)V_(0.5))_3AlC_2添加样品的放氢速率可达0.35%·min~(-1),是原始MgH_2样品的4倍左右。此外,完全放氢后的MgH_2-10%(Ti_(0.5)V_(0.5))_3AlC_2样品在150℃、5 MPa氢压下,可在60 s内吸收4.7%的氢。计算显示,MgH_2-10%(Ti_(0.5)V_(0.5))_3AlC_2样品的表观活化能为79.6 kJ·mol~(-1),较原始MgH_2(153.8 kJ·mol~(-1))降低了48%,这是MgH_2放氢性能得到改善的主要原因。
