Preferred orientations of encapsulated C60 molecules inside single wall carbon nanotubes

A systematical study of the orientational behavior of C60 molecules in single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with different chirality and diameter has been performed by using a model of an infinite long nanotube filled with two C60 (denoted as C60-1 and C60-2) molecules. We studied the preferred orientation of the C60-1 molecule when the neighboring C60-2 molecule was fixed at the pentagon, double-bond, and hexagon orientations respectively. Our results showed that the C60-1 molecule prefers the pentagon (hexagon) orientation when the tube diameter is smaller (larger) than 1.31nm (1.36nm). For the tube diameter in between, the preferred molecular orientation of C60-1 changes from pentagon to hexagon with the increasing tube diameter when the neighboring C60-2 molecule is fixed at the pentagon or double-bond orientation. A novel vertex orientation for the C60-1 molecule has been found when the C60-2 molecule is fixed at the hexagon orientation.     

The Unconventional Influence of a Nearby Molecule onto Transport of Single C_(60) Molecule Transistor

We study the transport property of single C_(60) molecular transistors with special focus on the situation that other molecules are in vicinity. The devices are prepared using electromigration and thermal deposition techniques. Pure single C_(60) molecule transistors show typical coulomb blockade behavior at low temperature. When we increase the coverage of molecules slightly by extending the deposition time, the transport spectrum of devices displays a switching behavior in the general coulomb blockade pattern. We attribute this unconventional phenomenon to the influence from a nearby C_(60) molecule. By analyzing this transport behavior quantitatively based on the parallel-double-quantum-dot model, the interaction from the nearby molecule is proved to be of capacity and tunneling coupling. Thermal stimulation is also applied to the device to investigate the effect of local charging environment variation on intermolecular interaction.

High-resolution imaging of C60 molecules using tuning-fork-based non-contact atomic force microscopy

Recent advances in non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) have led to the possibility of achieving unprecedented resolution within molecular structures, accomplished by probing short-range repulsive interaction forces. Here we investigate C(60) molecules adsorbed on KBr(111) and Cu(111) by tuning-fork-based nc-AFM. First, measurements of C(60) deposited on KBr(001) were conducted in cryogenic conditions revealing highly resolved nc-AFM images of the self-assembly. Using constant-frequency shift mode as well as three-dimensional spectroscopic measurements, we observe that the relatively weak molecule-substrate interaction generally leads to the disruption of molecular assembled structures when the tip is probing the short-range force regime. This particular issue hindered us in resolving the chemical structure of this molecule on the KBr surface. To obtain a better anchoring of C(60) molecules, nc-AFM measurements were performed on Cu(111). Sub-molecular resolutions within the molecules was achieved which allowed a direct and unambiguous visualization of their orientations on the supporting substrate. Furthermore, three-dimensional spectroscopic measurements of simultaneous force and current have been performed above the single molecules giving information of the C(60) molecular orientation as well as its local conductivity. We further discuss the different imaging modes in nc-AFM such as constant-frequency shift nc-AFM, constant-height nc-AFM and constant-current nc-AFM as well as three-dimensional spectroscopic measurement (3D-DFS) employed to achieve such resolution at the sub-molecular scale.     

C_(60)高压相变的拉曼光谱研究

本文对非静水压淬火的 C_(60)样品进行了拉曼光谱研究。在14.8GPa 以上,C_(60)的1468cm~(-1)特征峰的频率和线宽保持不变,这是 fullerite 相己转变成“透明相”的拉曼光谱证据。在32GPa 以上,原 C_(60)的散射峰全部消失,只观察到两个新的弥散的弱散射峰。表明 C_(60)原子团簇已倒塌或严重畸变。     

Orientationally ordered (7x7) superstructure of C60 on AU(111)

Long range orientational order within C60 monolayers on Au(111) is observed with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. A unit cell comprised of 49 molecules which adopt 11 different orientations is found. It can be divided in a faulted and an unfaulted half similar to the (7x7) reconstruction of Si(111). A model is proposed which shows how, through a Moiré-like effect, the substrate induces minute changes in the orientation of the C60 molecules. Intermolecular interactions are shown to play a major role in stabilizing the superlattice.

利用超高真空扫描隧道显微镜, 在低温(80 K)下研究了同分异构体分子Dy@C₈₂在Au(111)表面的吸附与分子取向．在低覆盖度下,Dy@C₈₂分子优先吸附于台阶边缘形成分子团簇与分子链结构．这种吸附取决于分子-衬底的相互作用,并存在多种不同的分子取向．增大分子覆盖度后,Dy@C₈₂在金表面形成二维有序密排的单层膜结构．Dy@C₈₂分子在金表面的取向倾向于其C₂长轴与金表面近乎平行．具有三种取向的分子最具优势,而同种取向的分子组成许多局限于一个个小区域内的取向有序结构畴．随着覆盖度的增加,Dy@C₈₂分子在Au(111)表面趋向于短程有序取向排列,这是由分子-衬底作用与分子间的偶极-偶极作用共同决定的．

Variation of molecular alignment as a means of resolving orientational ambiguities in protein structures from dipolar couplings

Residual dipolar couplings for pairs of proximate magnetic nuclei in macromolecules can easily be measured using high-resolution NMR methods when the molecules are dissolved in dilute liquid crystalline media. The resulting couplings can in principle be used to constrain the relative orientation of molecular fragments in macromolecular systems to build a complete structure. However, determination of relative fragment orientations based on a single set of residual dipolar couplings is inherently hindered by the multi-valued nature of the angular dependence of the dipolar interaction. Even with unlimited dipolar data, this gives rise to a fourfold degeneracy in fragment orientations. In this Communication, we demonstrate a procedure based on an order tensor analysis that completely removes this degeneracy by combining residual dipolar coupling measurements from two alignment media. Application is demonstrated on (15)N-(1)H residual dipolar coupling data acquired on the protein zinc rubredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum dissolved in two different bicelle media.     

The preferential growth of pyrite films prepared by thermal sulfuration of Fe2O3 films

Pyrite thin films were prepared by the sol-gel dip coating process and sulfuration treatment. The evolution of crystal orientation for the pyrite films was investigated as a function of sulfuration temperature. And the effect of crystal orientation on the electrical and optical properties was studied. It was found that films show (1 1 1) preferred orientation after sulfurized at low temperature. However, the (2 0 0) and (3 1 1) mixed preferred orientations were observed when pyrite films were sulfurized at higher temperature. Experimental results also indicate that the carrier concentration is high when the films show (1 1 1) preferred orientation. And the optical absorption coefficient is also large when the films grow with (1 1 1) preferred orientation. It is speculated that surface free energy could play a more important role in determination of preferred orientation when films were sulfurized at low temperature. However, the strain energy plays a more important role in determination of preferred orientation when films were sulfurized at higher temperature.     

定向倾斜枝晶生长规律及竞争行为的相场法研究

采用多相场模型对定向凝固过程中倾斜枝晶生长进行了研究, 模拟了单一取向枝晶列的演化规律及不同取向枝晶列汇聚生长竞争淘汰行为. 结果表明, 枝晶尖端过冷度随倾斜角度的增大而增大, 即相同条件下倾斜枝晶尖端位置总是低于非倾斜枝晶; 汇聚生长时择优取向枝晶总是阻挡非择优取向枝晶, 但在抽拉速度较低时, 由于溶质扩散场的相互重叠, 晶界处择优取向枝晶的生长受到相邻非择优枝晶的影响而延缓, 这可能导致非择优取向枝晶淘汰择优取向枝晶.     

交叉极化时间对分子间交叉极化的影响的研究

A method to predict the orientation relationship,interface planes and morphology between a crystalline precipitate and matrix. Part I. Approach

A model based on the near-coincidence of diffraction intensity weighted reciprocal-lattice spots is proposed to determine preferred orientation relationships between two crystalline phases. The preferred orientation is found by minimizing the three-dimensional lattice mismatch, i.e. by maximizing the total overlapping intensity, between the diffraction spots of two crystals. The procedure is biased towards matching reciprocal lattice sites with high structure-factor values, which is physically equivalent to matching planes of high atomic density. In contrast to previous reciprocal-lattice models, including the diffraction intensity in the present method makes it sensitive to the types of atoms in (chemistry of) crystals. The preferred orientation relationship is then used to identify the orientations of low-energy interfaces using a Δ g approach. A Voronoi (or Wigner–Seitz) construction based on the Δ g values is further used to qualitatively estimate the equilibrium shape of the precipitate in the matrix. The model was tested by performing calculations on hypothetical Au–Cu crystals to investigate the effects of chemistry and fcc truncated-octahedral precipitates in fcc matrices in Al–Ag, Al–Xe and Al–Pb alloys. The present model has the ability to sample the entire orientation space and rationalize and compare alternate orientation relationships in a reasonable timeframe, thereby providing insight into the formation of precipitate orientation relationships and shapes.
