The electrospray droplet impact (EDI) was applied to bradykinin, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), SiO2/Si, and indium phosphide (InP). It was found that bradykinin deposited on the stainless steel substrate was ionized/desorbed without the accumulation of radiation products. The film thickness desorbed by a single collisional event was found to be less than 10 monolayers. In the EDI mass spectra for PET, several fragment ions were observed but the XPS spectra did not change with prolonged cluster irradiation. The etching rate for SiO2 by EDI was measured to be ∼0.2 nm/min. The surface roughness of InP etched by EDI was found to be one order of magnitude smaller than that etched by 3 keV Ar+ for about the same etching depths. EDI is capable of shallow surface etching with little damage left on the etched surface. 相似文献
We describe herein the design, synthesis and detailed structural characterization of hybrid 1D nanostructures. They are prepared by supramolecular self‐assembly of oligothiophene molecules on the surface of zinc oxide nanorods in solution at room temperature. Electronic absorption spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction show that both organic and inorganic components in the coaxial p–n heterojunctions are crystalline. Especially, it is demonstrated that the organic compounds form a self‐assembled monolayer at the surface of the nanorods, which is not the case when zinc oxide quantum dots are instead used. As a result of their hybrid nature, the 1D nanostructures lead to ambipolar semiconducting nanostructured materials as active layers in field‐effect transistors.相似文献
The electrospray droplets that are sampled through an orifice into the vacuum chamber are accelerated by 10 kV and impact on the stainless steel substrate. The mass and the kinetic energy of electrospray droplets are roughly estimated to be a few 10(6) u and approximately 10(6) eV, respectively. The molecular ion M(+.) and the protonated molecule [M+H](+) are observed as secondary ions for chrysene and coronene deposited on the metal substrate (no matrix used). The ionization may take place in the shock wave generated by the high-momentum coherent collision between the droplet projectile and the solid sample. Cluster ions of H(+)(H(2)O)(n) and CF(3)COO(-)(H(2)O)(n), with n up to approximately 150, were observed as secondary ions formed by the electrospray droplet impact ionization (EDI) for 10(-2) M trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) aqueous solution. This indicates that the charged droplets that collide with the metal substrate with the kinetic energy of approximately 10(6) eV do not vaporize completely but are disintegrated into many tiny microdroplets. The ion signal intensity anomalies (i.e. magic numbers) were observed for the cluster ions of H(3)O(+)(H(2)O)(n) and CF(3)COO(-)(H(2)O)(n) for 10(-2) M TFA aqueous solution and of Cs(+)(H(2)O)(n), I(-)(H(2)O)(n), Cs(+)(CsI)(n), and I(-)(CsI)(n) for 10(-2) M CsI aqueous solution. 相似文献
We consider a one point extension algebra B of a quiver algebra Aq over a field k defined by two cycles and a quantum-like relation depending on a nonzero element q in k. We determine the Hochschild cohomology ring of B modulo nilpotence and show that if q is a root of unity, then B is a counterexample to Snashall-Solberg’s conjecture. 相似文献
Electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD) in metal-peptide complexes are dependent on the metal cation in the complex. The divalent transition metals Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ were used as charge carriers to produce metal-polyhistidine complexes in the absence of remote protons, since these metal cations strongly bind to neutral histidine residues in peptides. In the case of the ECD and ETD of Cu2+-polyhistidine complexes, the metal cation in the complex was reduced and the recombination energy was redistributed throughout the peptide to lead a zwitterionic peptide form having a protonated histidine residue and a deprotonated amide nitrogen. The zwitterion then underwent peptide bond cleavage, producing a and b fragment ions. In contrast, ECD and ETD induced different fragmentation processes in Zn2+-polyhistidine complexes. Although the N–Cα bond in the Zn2+-polyhistidine complex was cleaved by ETD, ECD of Zn2+-polyhistidine induced peptide bond cleavage accompanied with hydrogen atom release. The different fragmentation modes by ECD and ETD originated from the different electronic states of the charge-reduced complexes resulting from these processes. The details of the fragmentation processes were investigated by density functional theory.
Planar chiral [2]- and [3]rotaxanes constructed from pillar[5]arenes as wheels and pyridinium derivatives as axles were obtained in high yield using click reactions. The process of rotaxane formation was diastereoselective; the obtained [2]rotaxane was a racemic mixture consisting of (pS, pS, pS, pS, pS) and (pR, pR, pR, pR, pR) forms of the per-ethylated pillar[5]arene (C2) wheel, and other possible types of the [2]rotaxane did not form. Isolation of the enantiopure [2]rotaxanes with one axle through (pS, pS, pS, pS, pS)-C2 or (pR, pR, pR, pR, pR)-C2 wheels was accomplished. Furthermore, pillar[5]arene-based [3]rotaxane was successfully synthesized by attachment of two pseudo [2]rotaxanes onto a bifunctional linker. [3]Rotaxane formed in a 1:2:1 mixture with one axle threaded through two (pS, pS, pS, pS, pS)-C2, one (pS, pS, pS, pS, pS)-C2 and one (pR, pR, pR, pR, pR)-C2 (meso form), or two (pR, pR, pR, pR, pR)-C2 wheels. The [3]rotaxane enantiomers and the meso form were successfully isolated using appropriate chiral HPLC column chromatography. The procedure developed in this study is the starting point for the creation of pillar[5]arene-based interlocked molecules. 相似文献
A convenient method for the synthesis of tetraalkylanthracenes and -pentacenes by means of ruthenium-catalyzed regioselective C-H alkylation of the corresponding acenequinones was developed. Dialkyldiarylpentacene was also synthesized using chemoselective tandem C-H alkylation/C-O arylation of dimethoxypentacenequinone. It was suggested that a tetraalkylpentacene is stable under air in the dark and possesses an appropriate HOMO level as active material for p-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). 相似文献
Alkyl-modified crystalline silicon nanosheets 2 were synthesized and maintained the crystal structure of a Si(111) plane, in which the dangling silicon bond is stabilized by capping with the alkyl group. 2 was characterized using UV-vis, Fourier transform-infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies; X-ray diffraction; and X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis. A model structure is proposed that has a periodicity through the nanosheet surface. 相似文献
First-principles fully relaxed tensile and shear test simulations were performed on Σ10(1124)/[1100] tilt Mg grain boundary (GB) models, with and without H segregation, to investigate mechanisms of H embrittlement of Mg. Strengthening as a result of covalent-like characteristics of Mg-H bonds prevailed over weakening of Mg-Mg bonds resulting from charge transfer; as a result, an H atom strengthened the GB. In addition, because the strong Mg-H bonds suppressed macroscopic GB fracture, elongation to failure was not reduced by H segregation. However, the resistance to GB shearing was increased by H segregation. It is therefore suggested that H segregation enhances crack growth at the GB, because dislocation emission from the crack tip is suppressed, resulting in H embrittlement of Mg. 相似文献
