Light absorption by free semiconductor carriers in the presence of a laser wave

Within the framework of the conditions ; » ^–1 ( ^–1 is the mean time of momentum relaxation), the coefficient of absorption () of a weak electromagnetic wave by the free carriers of a polar semiconductor is calculated in the presence of a strong wave (of frequency ), for arbitrary values of and . Photon absorption by band electrons is due to these latter interacting with optical phonons (of frequency _o). The problem is solved by using an analogous approach to the theory of the linear Kubo reaction. The results are valid in the absence of electron heating, when a strong wave only influences the scattering probability. The appearance of a photostimulated tail of absorption is predicted for < _o, including the jump () for ( – _o + ) ₀T as well as peaks in the function () at the points _s=s (s=1, 2, 3,...). The value (₁) is determined by the formula for the absorption coefficient for one strong wave.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 105–109, July, 1981.The authors are grateful to É.

Self-assembled amphiphilic fluorescent probe: detecting pH-fluctuations within cancer cells and tumour tissues

Abnormal anaerobic metabolism leads to a lowering of the pH of many tumours, both within specific intracellular organelles and in the surrounding extracellular regions. Information relating to pH-fluctuations in cells and tissues could aid in the identification of neoplastic lesions and in understanding the determinants of carcinogenesis. Here we report an amphiphilic fluorescent pH probe (CS-1) that, as a result of its temporal motion, provides pH-related information in cancer cell membranes and selected intracellular organelles without the need for specific tumour targeting. Time-dependent cell imaging studies reveal that CS-1 localizes within the cancer cell-membrane about 20 min post-incubation. This is followed by migration to the lysosomes at 30 min before being taken up in the mitochondria after about 60 min. Probe CS-1 can selectively label cancer cells and 3D cancer spheroids and be readily observed using the green fluorescence channel (λ_em = 532 nm). In contrast, CS-1 only labels normal cells marginally, with relatively low Pearson''s correlation coefficients being found when co-incubated with standard intracellular organelle probes. Both in vivo and ex vivo experiments provide support for the suggestion that CS-1 acts as a fluorescent label for the periphery of tumours, an effect ascribed to proton-induced aggregation. A much lower response is seen for muscle and liver. Based on the present results, we propose that sensors such as CS-1 may have a role to play in the clinical and pathological detection of tumour tissues or serve as guiding aids for surgery.

A self-assembled amphiphilic fluorescent probe allows pH-fluctuations within cancer cells and tumour tissues to be readily detected.

Itosides A – I,New Phenolic Glycosides from Itoa orientalis

Eight new benzoylated gentisyl alcohol (=2‐(hydroxymethyl)benzene‐1,4‐diol) glucosides, itosides A–H ( 1 – 8 ), together with the new pyrocatechol (=benzene‐1,2‐diol) glycoside itoside I ( 9 ) were isolated from the bark and twigs of Itoa orientalis (Flacourtiaceae). In itosides B–D ( 2 – 4 ), the gentisyl alcohol moiety was esterified by 1‐hydroxy‐6‐oxocyclohex‐2‐ene‐1‐carboxylic acid, while itosides E–H ( 5 – 8 ) contained instead an additional 2‐hydroxybenzoic acid moiety. The compounds were accompanied by the known derivatives 4‐hydroxytremulacin ( 10 ), poliothyrsoside ( 11 ), poliothyrsin ( 12 ), homaloside D ( 13 ), tremulacin, and pyrocatechol β‐D ‐glucopyranoside. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectral and chemical methods.

Stripping voltammetry of copper and lead using gold electrodes modified with self-assembled monolayers

One problem associated with using bare solid metal electrodes, such as gold and platinum, in stripping analysis to determine heavy metal ions such as lead and copper ions in dilute solutions is that underpotential deposition (UPD) gives multiple stripping peaks in the analysis of mixtures. These peaks are often overlapped and cannot be conveniently used for analytical purposes. Bifunctional alkylthiols, such as 3-mercaptopropionic acid, with an ionizable group on the other terminal end of the thiol can form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the surface of the gold electrode. It is shown that such an SAM-modified gold electrode minimizes the UPD effects for the stripping analysis of lead and copper. The anodic peak potential shifts and the peak shape changes, indicating that the SAM changes the deposition and stripping steps of these heavy metal ions. Thus, the sensitivity levels for both single species and mixtures can be significantly improved for the conventional solid electrodes. The mechanism of the deposition reaction at the SAM-modified gold electrodes is discussed. Received: 29 May 1997 / Accepted: 24 June 1997     

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Methane

Methane decomposition over metal oxides/SiO₂ surface was investigated. At 1400 K obtained product distribution of this decomposition varied with metal oxide used. The effectiveness of these catalysts has been discussed in terms of activity and C₂ selectivity. ThO₂/SiO₂ was found to be the most effective catalyst for the catalytic decomposition of methane. Positive catalytic effect of ThO₂/SiO₂ on the pyrolysis has also been confirmed at 1073 K. At low reaction conversions, ethane and ethylene are found as major products. Yields of ethylene and other unsaturated products are sensitively inhibited by NO impurities in the methane. A reaction mechanism has been proposed to account observed experimental results.
