Recombination Prolonged Luminescence of Indole and Tryptophan in a Solution at Room Temperature

Prolonged luminescence of tryptophan and indole in liquid solutions of different polarity has been registered in a microsecond time-scale at room temperature; by nature it differs from phosphorescence or delayed fluorescence of P and E types. The data presented suggest that the observed prolonged luminescence is caused by recombination of the radicals formed upon UV irradiation of indole chromophores by laser pulses.

Photoluminescence Characteristics of ZnCuInS-ZnS Core-Shell Semiconductor Nanocrystals

The photoluminescence(PL) characteristics of ZnCuInS quantum dots(QDs) with varying ZnS shell thicknesses of 0, 0.5, and 1.5 layers are investigated systemically by time-correlated single-photon counting measurements and temperature-dependent PL measurements. The results show that a ZnS shell thickness of 1.5 layers can effectively improve the PL quantum yield in one order of magnitude by depressing the surface trapping states of the core ZnCuInS QDs at room temperature. However, the PL measurements at the elevated temperature reveal that the core-shell nanocrystals remain temperature-sensitive with respect to their relatively thin shells.The temperature sensitivity of these small-sized single-layered core-shell nanocrystals may find applications as effective thermometers for the in vivo detection of biological reactions within cells.

CuInS2纳米晶的制备和发光性质

以十二硫醇为溶剂,通过选择合适的金属源制备了各种尺寸的CuInS₂量子点。观察到随着粒子的尺寸减小,其吸收和发光光谱明显蓝移,存在明显的量子尺寸效应。通过在CuInS₂纳米晶表面包覆ZnS壳层,发现随着壳层厚度增加,其发光量子效率明显提高,最大达到了48%;继续增加壳层厚度,其发光量子效率反而降低。进一步测量它们的荧光寿命,发现包覆ZnS壳层后的CuInS₂纳米晶的荧光寿命明显增加,证实表面包覆明显减少其表面的无辐射复合中心,提高了其发光效率。进一步制备了CuInS₂/ZnS核壳量子点发光二极管,并对其电致发光性质进行了研究。

Continuous-Wave Laser Performance of an LD-End-Pumped Single Tm3+-Doped GdVO4 Crystal at Room Temperature

We investigate a laser-diode end-pumped continuous-wave Tm:GdVO4 laser with different crystal lengths at room temperature. At a Tm-doping concentration of 2.5 at.% and with a 3 × 3 × 3 mm³ crystal, we reach the maximum output power 670 mW at a central wavelength of 1,915 nm and a beam quality factor of 4.8. We show experimentally that the Tm:GdVO₄ crystal used is quite sensitive to the operation temperature.

常温高压下碳酸根离子的拉曼谱峰标定压力初探

在准静水压的条件下,利用碳化硅压腔和显微拉曼光谱原位测量技术,在0～1.7 GPa压力范围测定22 ℃高压下三种不同的H₂O-Na₂CO₃体系(1.5,2.0,2.5 mol·L-1)中CO2-₃的对称伸缩振动ν_{1 066}拉曼谱峰的变化。结果表明,在室温条件下,碳酸根的ν_{1 066}峰的拉曼位移随着压力的增大而线性增加。三种浓度下ν_{1 066}峰的拉曼位移与压力的拟合直线彼此接近,斜率误差小于1%,偏差小于系统误差,因此在实验误差范围内碳酸根浓度对ν_{1 066}峰随压力变化的行为不存在影响。经过数据拟合得到公式：p/MPa=174.13 Δν_{1 066}/cm-1—59.03(Δν_{1 066}=ν_{1 066}-ν_{1 066}0,ν_{1 066}0为体系零压时碳酸根离子ν_{1 066}峰的拉曼位移)。此公式可以用于常温下在含有纯碳酸钠体系中的压力标定。

Detection of Volume Changes in Calcein-Stained Cells Using Confocal Microscopy

Calcein is an intracellular fluorescent probe that has been used as an indicator of cell volume in several previous studies. These studies have reported two different fluorescence responses depending on the optical setup used to collect the data: wide-field microscopy has resulted in a decrease in fluorescence upon cell shrinkage, whereas confocal microscopy has been shown to yield the opposite result. In this short communication, we have investigated the effect of optical setup on detection of cell volume changes in calcein-stained endothelial cells. A confocal microscope was used to collect the fluorescence data, and the pinhole diameter was varied in order to examine the effects of optical section thickness on fluorescence response. For large pinhole diameters – which correspond to relatively thick optical sections – fluorescence intensity decreased when cells were induced to shrink. In contrast, for small pinhole diameters the fluorescence intensity increased with cell shrinkage. The transition between these two types of fluorescence responses occurred when using a pinhole diameter of 285 μm, which corresponds with an optical section thickness slightly less than the height of the cells. Our results have implications for the design and interpretation of experiments involving the use of calcein as a cell volume indicator.
