填充式方钴矿化合物CeOs4Sb12近藤相互作用的非弹性中子散射研究

CeOs4Sb12晶体中由于导电电子与Ce3+ 4f1电子之间存在c-f杂化作用导致费米面附近存在能量间隙.这种c-f近藤相互作用和能量间隙是理解CeOs4Sb12物理性质,如近藤绝缘体行为、Ce3+磁矩在低温下猝灭以及重费米性等电、磁性质的关键.当用LAM-D中子谱仪对粉末CeOs4Sb12进行测量时,可以得到不同温度下CeOs4Sb12的非弹性中子散射谱.结果表明CeOs4Sb12中存在近藤相互作用,其作用强度为3.1 meV,证实了CeOs4Sb12为近藤绝缘体.中子测量得出CeOs4Sb12德拜温度为317 K.

Parametric oscillation at 2.1 μm in periodically poled RbTiOAsO4

An Nd:YAG laser-pumped periodically poled RbTiOAsO₄ (PPRTA) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) near degeneracy is reported. At a pump power of 3.7 W, a net conversion efficiency of 43% was obtained. These crystals were found to be phase-matchable for the higher order quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (SHG) in the visible range. Detailed analyses of the phase-matching properties for these processes were made by using the published Sellmeier and thermo-optic dispersion formulas.     

Donaldson–Friedman construction and deformations of a triple of compact complex spaces,II

In a previous paper of the same title the author gave a generalization of the constrution of Donaldson–Friedman, to prove the existence of twistor spaces of n CP ² with a special kind of divisors. In the present paper, we consider its equivariant version. When n = 3, this gives another proof of the existence of degenerate double solid with C *–action, and we show that the branch quartic surface is birational to an elliptic ruled surface. In case n ≥ 4, this yields new Moishezon twistor spaces with C *–action, which is shown to be the most degenerate ones among twistor spaces studied by Campana and Kreußler.     

An efficient synthesis of cyanoarenes and cyanoheteroarenes via lithiation followed by electrophilic cyanation

A one-pot procedure for the conversion of mono-substituted arenes and heteroarenes into the ortho-cyano derivatives was achieved through directed lithiation followed by electrophilic cyanation with phenyl cyanate. This reaction method proved to be applicable to halogen-lithium exchanged intermediates, so especially useful for the synthesis of benzonitriles. The scope of the reaction sequence was explored using a number of substrates.     

Etching reaction of methylchloride molecule on the GaAs (0 0 1)-2 × 4 surface

Adsorption process of methylchloride (CH₃Cl) on the GaAs (0 0 1)-2 × 4 surface was studied by a scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) measurement. The arsenic rich 2 × 4 surface, which was prepared by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), was exposed to a supersonic molecular beam of CH₃Cl with a kinetic energy of 0.06 eV. New bright spots appeared on the CH₃Cl exposed surface. They were largely observed at the “B-type” step edge and divided into two types according to their locations. It was suggested that new spots were due to weakly adsorbed CH₃Cl molecules without any dissociation. The adsorption mechanism of CH₃Cl molecule was also studied by an ab initio Hartree-Fock calculation, which explained the experimental results well.     

Synthesis and γ-radiolysis of 2′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine and 5-fluorouridine derivatives

Seventeen compounds having a variety of substituents at the 3- and 5′-positions of 2′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5-FUdR) and 5-fluorouridine (5-FUR) were synthesized, and their γ-radiolysis in aqueous solutions were studied. The compounds having thioureido (RNHCSNH, R ? H, PhCH₂, acyl) and thiocarbonylamino (XCSNH, X ? PhCH₂S, PhO) groups at the 3-position of 5-FUdR were efficiently cleaved to give 5-FUdR with high G values upon γ-irradiation of their aqueous solutions. The active species for these cleavage reactions were hydrated electron (e^? _aq), H^? and HO^?. However, the compounds having a dimethylsulfoxyimino group at 3-position of 5-FUdR and 5-FUR afforded 5-FUdR and 5-FUR only under the radiolysis conditions where e^? _aq becomes a principal active species. The compound having a 2-benzoylthiazoylthiocarbonylamino group at the 3-position of 5-FUdR showed the highest reactivity toward HO^.. The mechanisms of these γ-radiolysis reactions are discussed. The examination of anticellular activities of γ-irradiated compounds having a thiocarbonylamino group at the 3-position of 5-FUdR toward murine Sarcoma 180 cells revealed that these compounds may be utilized as a candidate for a radiation-induced drug (RID).     

Normal mode analysis of oligomeric proteins: Reduction of the memory requirement by consideration of rigid geometry and molecular symmetry

A method is presented to reduce the memory requirement of normal mode analysis applied to systems containing two or more large proteins when these systems exhibit symmetry properties. We use a rigid geometry model (i.e., only the dihedral angles of the polypeptide chain are considered as variables). This model allows a reduction by a factor of 8 on average of the number of variables with a concomitant freezing of the high-frequency modes. The symmetry properties of the system are used to reduce further the number of variables that must be considered in the computation. Application of group theory leads to a factorization of the matrices of interest (the coefficient and the Hessian matrices) into independent blocks along the diagonal. The initial, reducible representation is thus transformed into a number of irreducible representations of smaller dimensions. In the case of the C₂ symmetry group, the method leads to a reduction of the size of the matrices that must be manipulated during the computation (coefficient matrix, Hessian matrix, and eigenvectors matrix) by a factor of 256 compared with the usual normal mode analysis in Cartesian coordinate space. The method is particularly well adapted to the study of the dynamics of oligomeric proteins because these proteins often display symmetry properties (e.g., virus coat proteins, immunoglobulins, hemoglobin, etc.). In favorable cases, in conjunction with X-ray diffuse scattering data, the study of systems showing allosteric properties might be considered. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and antifungal activities of a series of (1,2-disubstituted vinyl)imidazoles.

A series of vinylimidazoles containing a hetero atom such as sulfur or oxygen at a beta-position of the vinyl group was prepared and the antifungal activities were tested. It was found that sulfur-substituted derivatives such as (E)-1-[2-(methylthio)-1-[2-(pentyloxy)phenyl]ethenyl]-1H-imidazole (5a-5) and (E)-1-[1-[2-(hexyloxy)phenyl]-2-(methylthio)ethenyl]-1H-imidazole (5a-6) showed excellent antifungal activities against dermatophytes and yeast cells. The stereochemistry of the hydrochloride salt of 5a-5 was determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure-activity relationships were discussed.     

γ-Radiolysis of 5-fluorouracil and 5-fluorouridine derivatives having sulfur-containing substituents

γ-Radiolysis reactions of eight 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) derivatives having sulfonyl group-containing substituents at the 1-position and five 5-fluorouridine (5-FUR) derivatives having thioureido group-containing substituents were studied under the conditions where hydrated electron (e_aq^?) and hydroxyl radical (HO·) become the principal reactive species. The 5-FU and 5-FUR derivatives were radiolyzed to give 5-FU and 5-FUR, respectively. The efficiency of the reactions depended upon the nature of reactive species and also upon the nature of substituents. The reactivity features of the γ-radiolysis reactions are discussed.
