The possibility to change the Seebeck coefficient sign has been evidenced in the LaCoO3 perovskites. A small hole doping (Co3+/Co4+) will result in a large positive Seebeck coefficient, while a small electron doping (Co2+/Co3+) will give a large negative Seebeck coefficient at room temperature. This mechanism is shown to be efficient as well in 1D Ca3Co2O6 deriving from hexagonal perovskites. By doping Ca3Co2O6 with Ti4+, a mixed valency Co2+/Co3+ is introduced and the thermopower turns negative.
At high temperature, the Seebeck coefficients of LaCoO3 and related compounds decrease to small values due to the spin state transition. The values converge towards a positive value, close to +20 μV/K at 800 K. This suggests that at high T, the Seebeck coefficients in the case of localized charges do not depend on the doping, but only on the spin and orbital degeneracies. On the other hand, in the case of metallic-like samples as electron-doped manganites, the properties can be described up to high T in terms of a single-band metal. Due to the linear variation of S as a function of T and the almost constant value of ρ, the ratio S2/ρ which is crucial for high temperature applications increases. 相似文献
The strain changes occurring during solvolysis of secondary tosylates are calculated by a molecular mechanics programme (MM2) using an empirical force-field for carbenium ions. The rate constants for acetolysis of kC-substrates correlate with these strain changes, defining a straight line representative for kC behaviour. 相似文献
The simultaneous detection of multiple analytes is an important consideration for the advancement of biosensor technology. Currently, few sensor systems possess the capability to accurately and precisely detect multiple antigens. This work presents a simple approach for the functionalization of sensor surfaces suitable for multichannel detection. This approach utilizes self-assembled monolayer (SAM) chemistry to create a nonfouling, functional sensor platform based on biotinylated single-stranded DNA immobilized via a streptavidin bridge to a mixed SAM of biotinylated alkanethiol and oligo(ethylene glycol). Nonspecific binding is minimized with the nonfouling background of the sensor surface. A usable protein chip is generated by applying protein-DNA conjugates which are directed to specific sites on the sensor chip surface by utilizing the specificity of DNA hybridization. The described platform is demonstrated in a custom-built surface plasmon resonance biosensor. The detection capabilities of a sensor using this protein array have been characterized using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The platform shows a higher sensitivity in detection of hCG than that observed using biotinylated antibodies. Results also show excellent specificity in protein immobilization to the proper locations in the array. The vast number of possible DNA sequences combine with the selectivity of base-pairing makes this platform an excellent candidate for a sensor capable of multichannel protein detection. 相似文献
Proton relaxation measurements have been used to investigate the effects of crosslinking on the segmental motion in cis-1,4-polybutadiene samples. The temperature dependence of proton spin–lattice relaxation time T1 and spin–spin relaxation time T2 at 60 and 24.3 MHz are reported in cis-1,4-polybutadiene (PB) samples with different crosslink density including uncrosslinked PB and samples with 140, 40, and 14 repeat units between crosslinks. In addition, spin-lattice relaxation times in rotating coordinate frame, T1p, have also been determined. The relaxation data are interpreted in terms of the effects of crosslinks on segmental chain motions. Because of their sensitivity to low-frequency motion, T2 data are of major interest. At temperatures well above the T1 minimum the small T2 temperature dependence resembles solidlike behavior reflecting the nonzero averaging of dipolar interactions due to anisotropic motion of the chain segments between crosslinks. The magnitude of T2 at 60°C is found to be proportional to the average mass between crosslinks. 相似文献
A method based on the coupling of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS) was developed for screening the changes in the bioligand composition of wood-rotting fungi as a function of their exposure to copper stress. Strains of four different species of wood-rotting fungi: Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Schizophyllum commune, Daedalea quercina and Pleurotus ostreatus were examined. Only one, namely Ph. chrysosporium, showed any significant difference in terms of the fingerprint of Cu-binding ligands between control and exposed cells which suggest trapping of Cu(II) by cell walls as the only resistance mechanisms. In the case of Ph. chrysosporium the bioinduction of a new Cu-binding ligand was demonstrated. The presence of a new compound in the SE chromatographic fraction of interest was confirmed by CZE-ICP MS. Attempts to identify the new compound by electrospray MS/MS failed because of insufficient sensitivity. 相似文献
Summary. A brief overview of our recent results concerning the application of 2D CRAMPS experiments to investigate a wide range of
materials is presented. The abilities of the 2D 1H–1H spin-exchange technique to characterize the structure of organic solids as well as the limitations resulting from segmental
mobility and from undesired coherence transfer are discussed. Basic principles of 1H NMR line-narrowing and procedures for analysis of the spin-exchange process are introduced. We focused to the qualitative
and quantitative analysis of complex spin-exchange process leading to the determination of domain sizes and morphology in
heterogeneous multicomponent systems as well as the characterization of clustering of surface hydroxyl groups in polysiloxane
networks. Particular attention is devoted to the determination of the 1H–1H interatomic distances in the presence of local molecular motion. Finally we discuss limitations of the 13C–13C correlation mediated by 1H–1H spin exchange to obtain structural constraints. The application of Lee-Goldburg cross-polarization to suppress undesired coherence transfer is proposed.

A theoretical analysis has been made of differences in relaxation energies for photoionization from the core levels of the series X2, HX for X = F, Cl, Br. It is demonstrated that whilst the charge in relaxation energies is largest for F2 with respect to HF, the contribution to the shifts in core levels is relatively larger for the series X2 and HX for X = Cl, Br. It is further shown that shifts in binding and relaxation energies show very little dependence on the core levels studied. 相似文献
The enzymatic synthesis of amide bonds catalyzed by penicillin acylase is investigated both in H2O solution and in organic solvents containing reverse micelles. The specificity of the reaction is rather high on the side of the acyl component, practically only phenylacetic acid gives sizeable yields. On the contrary, a variety of amino-acid esters, dipeptides, and tripeptides can be used as amino component, e.g., serine methyl ester, methionine ethyl ester, tyrosine ethyl ester, Gly–Asp, Ala–Tyr, Gly–Tyr–Gly etc. However, Many other amino-acid residues do not react, and the possible reasons for this are discussed. Yields varyin rang the 10–80%. A. systematic study to optimize yields by varying the solvent composition is presented for one model reaction. The enzyme is also able to couple certain D-amino-acid residues (e.g. D-methionine ethyl ester or Gly-D -Asp) though at lower rate. Reverse micelles formed by the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in CHCl3/isooctane are used to host penicillin acylase and to perform amide synthesis in which the product is perferentially soluble in the organic solvent mixture. The reaction is studied as a function of pH and certain micellar parameters, e. g. wo (wo = [H2O]/[CTAB]). A new membrane enzyme reactor is utilized to separate the product from the enzyme-containing micelles. The adavantges and the limits of this approach are discussed. 相似文献
