Phase diagram of two-dimensional binary Yukawa mixtures

We have used Ramakrishnan–Yussouff (RY) density functional theory (DFT) to explore the topology of the phase diagram of two-component charge stabilised colloidal suspensions confined to a two-dimensional plane. The particles of the system interact via purely repulsive soft core Yukawa potential. Pair correlation functions (PCFs) used as input informations in DFT were calculated by solving both the hypernetted chain (HNC) and Percus–Yevick (PY) integral equation theories. To test the relative performance of the HNC and PY theories in the context of phase transitions, we have also studied the corresponding one-component systems. We found that RY DFT with HNC PCFs does not stabilise solid in both the one- and two-component cases, whereas the PY theory does. By considering the freezing into the substitutionally disordered triangular solid, we found that the temperature-composition phase diagrams of the binary mixture are narrow spindles whose thickness depends on the symmetry of the mixture components and the value of the screening constant of the Yukawa potential. Although the phase diagram obtained by RY DFT with structural inputs calculated by the PY theory is found to be shifted to higher temperature region in the temperature-composition plane, however, it captures qualitatively all the essential features of the phase diagram. Our results are in principle verifiable through computer simulations and experiments.     

高激子利用率的蓝光荧光材料及其激发态性质

制备了具有高激子利用率的A-π-D-π-A结构的蓝光荧光材料CzPAF-CP,并通过紫外-可见吸收光谱和荧光光谱以及理论计算等方法对化合物的光物理性质及激发态性质进行了研究。该化合物表现出显著的溶剂化效应,溶剂化红移高达116 nm。根据Lippert-Mataga关系以及瞬态光谱测试证明CzPAF-CP具有局域电荷转移杂化态,这一点从理论计算结果也可以得到证明。由于CzPAF-CP具有扭曲A-π-D-π-A结构,在水含量高达90%的水和四氢呋喃混合溶液中荧光没有被猝灭,具有聚集诱导发光性质。以CzPAF-CP为发光材料制备的OLED器件发射蓝光,其电致发光光谱最大发射峰在452 nm,半峰宽54 nm,色坐标为（0.150,0.117）。最大外量子效率达到6.3%,激子利用率达到71.6%,超出25%的上限,这是由于CzPAF-CP局域电荷转移杂化态导致高能级单线态和三线态激子发生反系间窜越导致的。

Depletion interactions in binary mixtures of repulsive colloids

Acceptance ratio method, which has been used to calculate the depletion potential in binary hard-sphere mixtures, is extended to the computation of the depletion potential of non-rigid particle systems. The repulsive part of the Lennard-Jones pair potential is used as the direct pair potential between the non-rigid particles. The depletion potential between two big spheres immersed in a suspension of small spheres is determined with the acceptance ratio method through the application of Monte Carlo simulation. In order to check the validity of this method, our results are compared with those obtained by the Asakura-Oosawa approximation, and by Varial expansion approach, and by molecular dynamics simulation. The total effective potential and the depth of its potential well are computed for various softness parameters of the direct pair potential.

Experimental and theoretical evidence for the chemical mechanism in SERRS of rhodamine 6G adsorbed on colloidal silver excited at 1064 nm

The evidence for the existence of a chemical mechanism in surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) of rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on colloidal silver excited at 1064 nm is reported on the basis of experimental and theoretical analyses. A weak absorption peak at around 1060 nm for R6G‐functionalized silver nanoparticles was observed, which is not present in the individual spectra of R6G or silver nanoparticles. Theoretically, the charge difference density reveals that this weak absorption is a metal‐to‐molecule charge transfer excited state. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

UV absorption in metal decorated boron nitride flakes: a theoretical analysis of excited states

The excited states of single metal atom (X = Co, Al and Cu) doped boron nitride flake (MBNF) B₁₅N₁₄H₁₄-X and pristine boron nitride (B₁₅N₁₅H₁₄) are studied by time-dependent density functional theory. The immediate effect of metal doping is a red shift of the onset of absorption from about 220 nm for pristine BNF to above 300 nm for all metal-doped variants with the biggest effect for MBNF-Co, which shows appreciable intensity even above 400 nm. These energy shifts are analysed by detailed wavefunction analysis protocols using visualisation methods, such as the natural transition orbital analysis and electron-hole correlation plots, as well as quantitative analysis of the exciton size and electron-hole populations. The analysis shows that the Co and Cu atoms provide strong contributions to the relevant states whereas the aluminium atom is only involved to a lesser extent.     

Electronic States and Photoprocesses in Bichromophore Systems

We present the results of quantumchemical investigation of energy transfer in organic molecules and systems and the inferences drawn. The Förster theory has been subjected to a critical analysis in order that the energy transfer could be described in the context of the current theory of nonradiative transitions and the incorrectness of the basic premises of the Förster theory has been demonstrated. A new variant of the mechanism of electronic energy transfer on the basis of the theory of electron transitions and of the quantum mechanics of molecules has been suggested. It is shown that the interaction of the molecules of the donor and acceptor perturbs the electronic states of isolated molecules even before the excitation of the donor molecule. A characteristic feature of the manifestation of intermolecular interaction is the spatial delocalization of the wave functions of the electronic states of interacting molecules, leading to the possibility of occurrence of conventional photophysical processes with participation of the electronic states of various molecules of the bimolecular system. In experimental investigations, the result of the intermolecular nonradiative transition is recorded as evidence of the spatial transfer of the energy of electronic excitation from the donor molecule to the acceptor molecule.     

Fully conjugated push–pull dendrons with high dipole moments in excited state; synthesis and theoretical rationalization

Novel fully conjugated push–pull dendrons were synthesized by a divergent approach to evaluate the performance of non‐conventional architectures like dendritic one in charge separation processes associated with photovoltaic events. The dipole moments in excited state were estimated by the solvatochromic method, to be related to the charge separation efficiency. A 1:2 ratio of donor–acceptor groups (methoxy and nitro groups respectively) promotes the largest dipole moment in both ground and excited state (up to 17 D), due to the efficient electron density transfer over the entire molecule, through the π‐electron system. The synthesized dendrons induce charge transfer on excitation as follows from UV–vis absorption–emission analysis and theoretical calculations. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Phase transitions in a solution of rodlike macromolecules of two different sizes

Phase equilibria for a solution of long rigid rods of diameters D_i and lengths L_i (i = 1,2) are studied analytically using Gaussian trial functions. The conditions on the molecular size parameters for a nematic—nematic phase transition to be possible are determined, and found to be satisfied everywhere except in a closed domain in the diameter ratio—length ratio plane. Information on the relative ordering of the two components is also provided.     

Theoretical study of the phosphorescence of 8-azasteroids

We have used quantum chemical methods for a theoretical study of the luminescent characteristics (including estimating the rate constants for intramolecular T₁ → S₀ electronic transitions) of the molecules of four immunoactive compounds of the 8-azasteroid class. We have established that the T₁ state is localized on the enaminodicarbonyl moiety that is common to all the molecules. We have shown that for the studied compounds, the phosphorescence spectra and the physical mechanisms for deactivation of the lower triplet state T₁ are similar. For all the compounds, the results of the theoretical study are consistent with the corresponding conclusions of experimental studies of 8-azasteroids. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 6, pp. 751–755, November–December, 2006.     

The effect of molecular structure on the photophysical behavior of substituted styryl pyrazine derivatives

Six styryl pyrazine compounds, some of which have steric hindrance to rotate and some have twist freedom, were synthesized in this work. The effects of solvent polarity and viscosity on the photophysical and luminescent behavior of these compounds were preliminarily studied. Results indicated that the blocking of the double-bond twist by a sufficiently rigid bridge increases fluorescence quantum yields dramatically and the rotation of a single bond connecting the double bond and the phenyl group is favorable to form a single-bond twisted state (T*), which is the state responsible for the main channel of fluorescence emission. The reason for the higher fluorescence quantum yield of distyryl pyrazine was thought to be involved with the lower probability of transition from the Frank-Condon state (S ₁) to the phantom state (P*). Studies were also extended to develop a novel probe to detect the special microviscosity.     

Phase separation in mixtures of colloids and long ideal polymer coils

Colloidal suspensions with free polymer coils which are larger than the colloidal particles are considered. The polymer-colloid interaction is modeled by an extension of the Asakura-Oosawa model. Phase separation occurs into dilute and dense fluid phases of colloidal particles when polymer is added. The critical density of this transition tends to zero as the size of the polymer coils diverges.     

Quantum Chemical Calculation of the Spectral Luminescent and Physicochemical Properties of Anisidines

The influence of the position of a methoxy group in the phenyl radical of aniline on the spectral, geometric, and photophysical characteristics, and also on the proton-donating and proton-accepting properties of the free molecules of o-, m-, and p-anisidines is investigated by the methods of electron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. The energy levels of the singlet and triplet states of anisidines are calculated. For all the anisidines the band in the intermediate spectral region is shown to be formed by two electron transitions of the ^*- and ^* type of different intensity.     

抛物量子点中强耦合磁双极化子内部激发态性质

基于Lee-Low-Pines幺正变换,采用Pekar类型变分法研究了抛物量子点中强耦合磁双极化子的内部激发态性质,当考虑自旋和外磁场影响时,推导出二维量子点中强耦合磁双极化子基态的能量E0,声子平均数ˉN0以及第一激发态的能量E1,声子平均数ˉN1随量子点受限强度ω0,介电常数比η,电子-声子耦合强度α和磁场的回旋共振频率ωC的变化规律.结果表明,磁双极化子的基态能量E0和第一激发态能量E1由两电子的单粒子能量E E,两电子间库仑相互作用能E C,电子自旋与磁场相互作用能E s和电子-声子相互作用能E e-ph四部分组成;单粒子"轨道"运动与磁场相互作用导致了第一激发态能级E1分裂为E(1+1)1,E(1-1)1两条,而电子自旋-磁场相互作用的效应又使基态和第一激发态的各能级均产生了三条"精细结构";ˉN0和ˉN1随ω0,α和ωc的增加而增大,E e-ph的取值总是小于零,其绝对值随α,ω0和ωc的增加而增大;电子-声子相互作用的效应是束缚态磁双极化子形成的有力因素,而限定势和电子之间的库仑排斥能的存在不利于束缚态磁双极化子的形成;能量为E(1-1)1的磁双极化子要比能量为E(1+1)1的磁双极化子更容易且更稳定地处于束缚态.     

TICT excited states of o‐ and p‐N,N‐dimethylamino analogues of GFP chromophore

Even though all the p‐N,N‐dimethylaminobenzonitrile (p‐DMABN), cis‐o‐DMABDI, and cis‐p‐DMABDI (the N,N‐dimethylamino analogues of green fluorescence protein chromophore) have the same electron‐donating N,N‐dimethylamino group, unlike the dual fluorescence of p‐DMABN, both cis‐o‐DMABDI and cis‐p‐DMABDI display single fluorescence. To figure out the interesting phenomena, the CAM‐TD‐B3LYP method and the cc‐pVDZ basis set were used to explore geometries, molecular orbitals, electronic transition, dipole moment, and potential energy surfaces of the S₁ excited states of cis‐o‐DMABDI and cis‐p‐DMABDI. We found that the S₁ excited states of cis‐o‐DMABDI and cis‐p‐DMABDI are ¹(π, π*) charge transfer excited states with twisted structures, where the N,N‐dimethylaminobenzene moiety functions as an electron donor, the methyleneimidazolone moiety serves as an electron acceptor, and the electron donor is linked with the electron acceptor by the C─C single bond (P‐bond). The fluorescent emissions of cis‐o‐DMABDI and cis‐p‐DMABDI predicted by the CAM‐TD‐B3LYP/cc‐pVDZ level are quite consistent with the experimental results. For the cis‐o‐DMABDI and cis‐p‐DMABDI, the S₁ locally excited state is less stable than the S₁ twisted intramolecular charge transfer state, and the S₁ LE state is not a stationary point (global minimum). That is why both cis‐o‐DMABDI and cis‐p‐DMABDI display single fluorescence.
