Using a confocal microscope with a single-photon avalanche photodiode as detector, we studied photon bursts of single Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and Rhodamin B-zwitterion (RB) molecules in aqueous solution by excitation of the lowest excited singlet stateS 1 with a frequency-doubled titanium: sapphire laser. Multichannel scaler traces, the fluorescence autocorrelation function and fluorescence decay times determined by time-correlated single-photon counting have been measured simultaneously. The time-resolved fluorescence signals were analyzed with a maximum likelihood estimator. Fluorescence lifetime patterns in steps of 100 ps were generated by convolution with the excitation pulse. The lifetime of theS 1 state was derived from the Kullback-Leibler minimum discrimination information. We are able to demonstrate for the first time identification of two different single dye molecules via their characteristic fluorescence lifetimes of 1.79 ± 0.33 ns (RB) and 3.79 ± 0.38 ns (R6G) in aqueous solution.Dedicated to Prof. F.

Spin properties of single-doped and single-electron charged nano-systems having an odd number of electrons are studied. Starting from an expression for quasiparticle energies in the GW approximation, a simple analytical expression for the spin-splitting of an electron spectrum in such system is derived. First-principles calculations by the DFT–GGA, Hartree-Fock, GW- and hybrid functional methods, which were performed for the silicon clusters and metal phthalocyanine molecules of 1 nm diameter, support this analytical consideration. They show that the spin-splitting energy calculated by the DFT–GGA method is about one order lower, than the results obtained with the methods based on the many-electron theory. A large value of spin-splitting in investigated nano-systems, which is typically of several eV, has an origin in strong localization of electrons and weak screening of exchange interaction. A possible use of this effect in spintronic applications is discussed.  相似文献

Quantitative determination of the 3D dipole orientation of single molecules   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Recently, different approaches have been implemented to detect single molecules with an optical dipole out of the sample plane. Principles to solve this problem of general interest have been laid but no detailed analysis has been performed to date. This paper is devoted to a quantitative analysis of the dipole orientation of out of plane molecules that we have detected by amplitude and phase masking of the input beam. The accuracy of the orientation is discussed.Received: 22 July 2003, Published online: 2 December 2003PACS: 32.50. + d Fluorescence, phosphorescence (including quenching)  相似文献

High-quality p-type boron-doped IIb diamond large single crystals are successfully synthesized by the temperature gradient method in a china-type cubic anvil high-pressure apparatus at about 5.5 GPa and 1600 K.The morphologies and surface textures of the synthetic diamond crystals with different boron additive quantities are characterized by using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope respectively.The impurities of nitrogen and boron in diamonds are detected by micro Fourier transform infrared technique.The electrical properties including resistivities,Hall coefficients,Hall mobilities and carrier densities of the synthesized samples are measured by a four-point probe and the Hall effect method.The results show that large p-type boron-doped diamond single crystals with few nitrogen impurities have been synthesized.With the increase of quantity of additive boron,some high-index crystal faces such as {113} gradually disappear,and some stripes and triangle pits occur on the crystal surface.This work is helpful for the further research and application of boron-doped semiconductor diamond.  相似文献

The local polarization state and the electromechanical properties of ferroelectric thin films can be probed via the converse piezoelectric effect using scanning force microscopy (SFM) combined with a lock-in technique. This method, denominated as piezoresponse SFM, was used to characterize at the nanoscale level ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 and Bi4Ti3O12 thin films, grown by pulsed laser deposition. Two types of samples were studied: polycrystalline films, with grains having random orientations, and epitaxial films, consisting of (100)orth- or (110)orth-oriented crystallites, 100 nm to 2 7m in lateral size, which are embedded into a (001)-oriented matrix. The ferroelectric domain structure was imaged and the piezoelectric response under different external conditions was locally measured for each type of sample. Different investigation procedures are described in order to study the ferroelectric properties via the electromechanical response. A distinct ferroelectric behavior was found for single grains of SrBi2Ta2O9 as small as 200 nm in lateral size, as well as for 1.2 7m쏿 nm crystallites of Bi4Ti3O12. By probing separately the crystallites and the matrix the investigations have demonstrated at the nanoscale level that SrBi2Ta2O9 has no spontaneous polarization along its crystallographic c-axis, whereas Bi4Ti3O12 exhibits a piezoelectric behavior along both the a- and c-directions. The electrostriction coefficients were estimated to be 3᎒-2 m4/C2 for polycrystalline SrBi2Ta2O9 and 7.7᎒-3 m4/C2 for c-orientedBi4Ti3O12. Quantitative measurements at the nanoscale level, within the experimental errors give the same values for remanent polarization and coercive field as macroscopic ferroelectric measurements performed on the same samples.  相似文献

We have investigated magnetic properties of Co clusters coated with CO molecules by first-principles density functional calculations. Total magnetic moment of the system decreases with the increase of CO molecule concentration regardless of adsorption sites for CO molecules. Spin polarization slightly increases as CO molecules are adsorbed on the most stable sites of Co cluster, which is caused by the increased local spin polarization of p-electrons due to charge transfer from Co clusters to CO molecules.  相似文献

Water-like gas adsorption on spherical nano-aerosol particles has been studied for particles of different sizes at different temperatures with density functional theory. The water-like fluid was modelled as Lennard–Jones (LJ) spheres with four hydrogen-bonding sites with parameters adjusted to the phase diagram of water. For the single sphere case, both the adsorption excesses and density profiles approach those of the plane cases as the spherical substrate sizes increase; at each temperature studied, the size dependence of the transition from thin-film adsorption to thick-film adsorption has been observed. What we found here support earlier suggestions (J. X. Fang, W. H. Marlow, J. X. Lu, and R. R. Lucchese, J. Chem. Phys. 107, 5212 (1997)) that not only the interaction energies between the water molecule and the spherical substrate are sensitive to the size of the spherical substrate, but also the wetting behaviour. In calculations of the excess adsorptions of particles of radii R?=?20σ, 30σ, and 50σ, these substrates show the expected transition from the single molecule to the macroscopic aerosol particles.  相似文献

We describe novel features of the induced magnetic anisotropy in Co nanoclusters coupled with a CoO(111) layer. Individual cluster magnetism was studied using new microbridge superconducting quantum interference devices. Intrinsically, the Co clusters are single domains with an effective anisotropy constant K(F)≈1.5×10(6) erg·cm(-3). A bistable state of the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic coupling is revealed, with a maximum bias systematically observed along CoO[10 ?1] and an interfacial coupling energy of 0.9 erg·cm(-2). The small bias observed in cluster assembly results from an averaging over the two opposite stable states.  相似文献

This work presents the structural characterization of nanoclusters formed from a-Si:H/Ge heterostructures processed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 1000 °C for annealing times varying between 30 s and 70 s. The a-Si:H layers were grown on electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) using SiH4 and Ar precursor gases. The Ge layer was grown in an e-beam evaporation system. The structural characterizations were performed by high-resolution X-ray diffractometer (HRXRD) on grazing incidence X-ray reflection mode (GIXRR) and micro-Raman measurements. The average grain size, Ge concentration (xGe) and strain were estimated from Lorentzian GIXRR peak fit. The average grain size varied from 3 nm to 7.5 nm and decreased with annealing time. The xGe increase with annealing time and varied from 8% to 19%, approximately. The strain calculated for (1 1 1), (2 2 0) and (3 1 1) peaks at 40 s, 50 s, 60 s and 70 s annealing time suggest the geometrical changes in nanoclusters according to process time.  相似文献

Double helix DNA molecules, the carriers of genetic instructions in cells, are strongly affected by their topological properties. Two distinct and biologically important types of linking are associated with double helix DNAs: ‘internal’ linking of the two strands of individual double helices, and ‘external’ linking of separate double helix DNAs. The constraint of internal linking gives rise to internal torsional stress and supercoiling of circular DNAs. External linking is a likely outcome of DNA replication, and must be eliminated by the cell in order to separate duplicated DNAs. I outline some of the physics and biology connected with both internal and external linking.  相似文献

Single molecule rotational correlation functions are analyzed for several reorientation geometries. Even for the simplest model of isotropic rotational diffusion our findings predict nonexponential correlation functions to be observed by polarization sensitive single molecule fluorescence microscopy. This may have a deep impact on interpreting the results of molecular reorientation measurements in heterogeneous environments.  相似文献

随着单分子操纵技术的发明与发展,人们已经可以对单个生物大分子施以力或力矩,并测量它们的物理性质,DNA单分子的力学实验表明,在分子尺度上理解生物大分子的生化过程,力与能量是同等重要的结构与功能参数。一个梯子模型被用来描述双链DNA的外力拉伸曲线,在这个模型中,DNA是由许多碱基对(梯子的横杆,横杆之间存在吸引势)连接两条聚核苷酸虫链(梯子的两侧)形成的高分子,利用路径积分法得出的理论曲线与实验曲线吻合得很好,对于单链DNA,用分立的杂化高分子链统计理论的母函数方法来计算其弹性行为,得出与实验相符合的外力引起的解链相变结果。此外,对于抑瘤蛋白p53识别序列DNA微环弹性进行分析,发现其弹性模量只是通常随机序列的三分之一。  相似文献

Multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) combining the superparamagnetism of Mn−Zn ferrite and the fluorescence property of gold nanoclusters (NCs) have been prepared by wet chemistry. Magnetic NPs synthesized by co-precipitation method were coated several times with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) using the layer-by-layer technique. Common techniques (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy, zeta potential, etc.) indicated the monodispersity and the stability of the coated NPs providing a positive charged surface. Fluorescent gold NCs bound to a standard protein bovine serum albumin were adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic NPs. Structural investigations proved the presence of small gold clusters (~2 nm) in a shell surrounding the magnetic nanomaterial. The stable nanocomposite kept the original fluorescence property of the metal clusters with 211-fold increase of the red emission (λ = 690 nm) compared to the uncoated NPs. These NPs can be moved with a permanent magnet despite a 72-wt% increase of the non-magnetic fraction due to the PE coating and the protein adsorption.  相似文献
