Comb-like optical transmission spectrum resulting from a four-cornered two-waveguide-connected network

In this Letter a four-cornered two-waveguide-connected network (FCTWCN) is proposed to generate comb-like optical transmission spectrum, where nearest-neighbor nodes are connected by two segments of one-dimensional waveguides. We investigate the band structure and transmission spectrum of electromagnetic waves propagating through FCTWCNs and find that the transmission through a FCTWCN exhibits periodic comb-like characteristic and the range, number and width of continuous equidistant frequency bands can be controlled by adjusting the lengths of the two types of segments. The comb-like frequency bands may be useful for the designing of optical switches, optical narrowband filters, high capacity telecommunications, and multichannel filters, etc.     

Comparison of ion acceleration from ultra-short intense laser interactions with thin foil and small dense target

The comparative efficiency and beam characteristics of high-energy ions generated from the interaction of a petawatt laser pulse with thin foil target and a small solid-density plasma bunch target have been studied by particle-in-cell simulation under identical conditions. It is shown that thin foil and small solid dense target of micrometer size can be efficiently accelerated when irradiated by a laser pulse of intensity >10²¹?W/cm². Using direct beam measurements, we find that small solid dense target acceleration produces higher energy particles with smaller divergence and a higher efficiency compared to thin foil target acceleration. The merits of small solid target acceleration can be exploited for potential applications such as its role as ignitor for fast ignition in inertial confinement fusion.     

A robust porous metal-organic framework with a new topology that demonstrates pronounced porosity and high-efficiency sorption/selectivity properties of small molecules

A robust porous metal-organic framework (MOF), [Co(3)(ndc)(HCOO)(3)(μ(3)-OH)(H(2)O)](n) (1) (H(2)ndc=5-(4-pyridyl)-isophthalic acid), was synthesized with pronounced porosity. MOF 1 contained two different types of nanotubular channels, which exhibited a new topology with the Schlafli symbol of {4(2).6(5).8(3)}{4(2).6}. MOF 1 showed high-efficiency for the selective sorption of small molecules, including the energy-correlated gases of H(2), CH(4), and CO(2), and environment-correlated steams of alcohols, acetone, and pyridine. Gas-sorption experiments indicated that MOF 1 exhibited not only a high CO(2)-uptake (25.1 wt % at 273 K/1 bar) but also the impressive selective sorption of CO(2) over N(2) and CH(4). High H(2)-uptake (2.04 wt % at 77 K/1 bar) was also observed. Moreover, systematic studies on the sorption of steams of organic molecules displayed excellent capacity for the sorption of the homologous series of alcohols (C(1)-C(5)), acetone, pyridine, as well as water.     

Novel Quadruple Fluorescence Properties of Two Benzoylthiourea Isomers

Two benzoylthiourea isomers, N-2-flurobenzoy-N'-4- (N,N-dimethyl)amidophenylthiourea (2FBDAPT) and N-4-fluro-benzoy-N'-4- (N,N-dimethyl)amidophenylthiourea (4FBDAPT) were determined by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray diffraction. It was found that intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds played an important role in determining their conformations. Electronic spectra of the two compounds were investigated by UV absorption and steady-state fluorescence methods. The intermolecular hydrogen bond between the title compounds and methanol molecules caused the long wavelength absorption bands in methanol to weaken and vanish indeed. Quadruple fluorescence bands in ultraviolet and visible region were observed in the studied solvents upon the variable excitation wavelength. As same as Azumaya's suggestions for benzanilide (BA), F4 fluorescence bands with the maximum wavelength (λ(max)) between 546?nm and 622?nm were characteristic of TICT fluorescence. F3 bands of λ(max) from 434?nm to 483?nm were explained by the ESIPT model of the S1 state of the thiol tautomer to the S1 state of the keto tautomer. The new proposition was that F2 bands with λ(max) at about 365?nm were attributed to ESIPT from the S1 state of the thiol tautomer to the S0 state of the enol tautomer. And F1 fluorescence emissions with λ(max) at about 310?nm originated from the local S1 transitions of the enol tautomer. All experimental results were supported by MP2, CASSCF and CASPT2 quantum chemical calculations.     

Voltammetric Determination of Epinephrine in the Presence of Uric Acid Based on Aminated Graphene and Ag NPs Hybrid Membrane Modified Electrode

A hybrid membrane consisted of aminated graphene and Ag nanoparticles（Ag NPs） was prepared on the surface of glassy carbon electrode（GCE） by cyclic voltammetry（CV） with aminated graphene（GR-NH2） as matrix for immobilizing Ag NPs.The morphology and electrochemical properties of this hybrid membrane were characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and CV,respectively,and on this membrane,the voltammetric behaviors of epinephrine（EP） were studied in detail.The membrane exhibited excellent eletro-catalytic activities for the redox of EP,and could resolve the electrochemical response of EP and uric acid（UA） into two oxidation peaks.The peak current of EP was linear with its concentration in the ranges of 0.916-18.3 μmol/L and 18.3-184 μmol/L.The detection limit was 2.0 nmol/L（S/N=3）.The proposed modified electrode retained the advantages of easy fabrication,high sensitivity and good repeatability for the determination of EP.

一种多通道匀浆装填毛细管色谱柱的新装置及应用

针对目前毛细管色谱柱装柱效率低、不同批次装填的毛细管色谱柱之间性能差异大的问题,我们发展了一种多通道匀浆装填毛细管色谱柱的新装置。该装置以液相色谱泵提供压力、采用磁力搅拌保持匀浆液均匀分散,一次可装填多达6根毛细管色谱柱。以牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的胰蛋白酶酶切肽段混合物为样本,选择峰容量、蛋白覆盖率、3个特定离子的保留时间以及毛细管色谱柱柱压为指标,在毛细管液相色谱-质谱联用系统上对装填的反相毛细管色谱柱的性能进行了评价。分别考察了一次装填的6根毛细管色谱柱、两次装填的12根毛细管色谱柱以及一次装填1根与一次装填6根毛细管色谱柱的性能及稳定性。实验结果表明:同一批次装填的6根毛细管色谱柱的性能相近;不同批次装填的12根毛细管色谱柱的峰容量和覆盖率没有明显的区别,但保留时间和毛细管色谱柱柱压的稳定性较差;一次装填1根和一次装填6根毛细管色谱柱柱性能的稳定性与两次分别装填6根毛细管色谱柱的稳定性相近,即采用本装置可显著提高毛细管色谱柱的装填效率且每次装填毛细管色谱柱的数量不会对柱性能产生影响。

基于不同提取方法的水稻叶片蛋白质组的二维液相色谱分离及高分辨质谱分析

建立了酚法提取-二维液相色谱分离-高分辨质谱分析水稻叶片蛋白质组的方法。水稻叶片蛋白质经过酚法提取,酶解肽段脱盐后用离线反相-反相二维液相色谱分离,然后用线性离子阱/静电场轨道阱组合式高分辨质谱分析,共鉴定到2712种蛋白质。比较了液相色谱分离系统（一维液相色谱与二维液相色谱）和水稻叶片蛋白质提取方法（酚法、十二烷基硫酸钠法（SDS法）和三氯乙酸/丙酮法（TCA/丙酮法））对鉴定蛋白质数量的影响,结果表明：在二维液相色谱条件下,酚法、SDS法和TCA/丙酮法鉴定到的蛋白质数目为2712、2415和1914,分别是一维液相色谱条件下鉴定到的蛋白质数目的2.7、2.5和1.9倍。二维液相色谱条件下,酚法鉴定到的蛋白质数目比SDS法和TCA/丙酮法分别多297和798。与SDS法和TCA/丙酮法相比,酚法不但鉴定到的蛋白质数量多,而且能够鉴定到一些极端蛋白质,如酸性、碱性及高等电点的蛋白质。此外,对二维液相色谱条件下3种蛋白质提取方法提取到的蛋白质进行生物学功能分类,发现3种方法鉴定到的蛋白质的功能存在互补性,但酚法鉴定到的蛋白质功能种类最多。该法为水稻蛋白质组学研究提供了技术支撑,同时也为其他作物的蛋白质组学研究技术提供重要的借鉴。
