Origin and manifestation of the anharmonic potential felt by an ion-cloud in an actual Paul trap

The anharmonic potential felt by a single-species ions confined in a rf quadrupole trap which results from a non-ideal trap configuration and the charge distribution of the ion cloud is studied. The rf resonance-absorption spectra are explained by a Duffing oscillator and a representation of the line-shape parameter is derived. For > 0.77, the electric signals will exhibit hysteresis. The relation with the anharmonic potential is discussed.     

Observation of Δn=1 dielectronic recombination resonances of boronlike argon

We report here an observation ofn=1 dielectronic recombination resonances of boron-like argon in the energy region 140–195 eV. With the cooler's electron beam as a target, a resolution of approximately 0.6 eV FWHM was obtained in the observed energy range. The energies of the doubly excited states were estimated with a Hartree-Fock calculation, which indicates that the observed resonances are from Ar¹³⁺(1s²2s²2p) to Ar¹²⁺(1s²2s²3l3l) and Ar¹²⁺(1s²2s2p3l3l) transitions.     

Oligodeoxyfluorosides: Strong Sequence Dependence of Fluorescence Emission

We describe the properties of a series of oligomeric polyfluorophores assembled on the DNA backbone. The 11 oligomers (oligodeoxyfluorosides, ODFs), 4-7 monomers in length, were composed of only two fluorescent monomers and a spacer in varied sequences, and were designed to test how fluorescent nucleobases can interact electronically to yield complexity in fluorescence emission. The monomer fluorophores were deoxyribosides of pyrene and perylene, which emit light in violet and blue wavelengths, respectively. The experiments show that simple variation in sequence and spacing can dramatically change fluorescence, yielding emission maxima ranging from 380 to 557 nm and visible colors from violet to orange-red. Fluorescence lifetime data, excitation spectra, and absorption data point to a number of multi-fluorophore electronic interactions, including pyrene-pyrene and perylene-perylene excimers, pyrene-perylene exciplexes, as well as monomer dye emissions, contributing to the final spectral outcomes. Thus, two simple fluorophores can be readily combined to give emissions over much of the visible spectrum, all requiring only a single excitation. The results demonstrate that fluorescent nucleobases in oligomeric form can act cooperatively as electronic units, and that fluorophore sequence in such oligomers is as important as fluorophore composition in determining fluorescence properties.     

制备方法对WO_3/ZrO_2结构的影响

用XRD、比表面测定、LRS定性和定量的方法对用Zr（OH）4和已晶化的ZrO2作载体制得的两类WO3／ZrO2催化剂进行了表征．揭示了样品比表面、载体物相、活性组分的存在状态与制备方法、WO3含量、焙烧温度之间的关系．结果表明，WO3能单层分散在ZrO2上；单层覆盖在Zr（OH）4上的WO3使载体在焙烧时晶粒生长受阻，形成介稳的四方ZrO2，并阻止载体微粒间的烧结，使从Zr（OH）4出发制得的WO3／ZrO2比表面明显增大，在WO3含量达到单层分散容量时以上作用表现得最充分；WO3与Zr（OH）4（或四方ZrO2）在高温（～800℃）可能发生了某种化学结合，开创出超强酸位．用以上观点可对文献中已报导的主要实验事实作出较满意的解释.     

Large-scale synthesis and microstructure of SnO2 nanowires coated with quantum-sized ZnO nanocrystals on a mesh substrate

Large-quantity single-crystal SnO(2) nanowires coated with quantum-sized ZnO nanocrystals (nc-ZnO/SnO(2) nanowires) were directly synthesized by thermal evaporation of SnO powder and a mixture of basic ZnCO(3) and graphite powders. A common stainless steel mesh was used to collect the products. The microstructure and possible growth mechanism of the nc-ZnO/SnO(2) nanowires were investigated. Results showed that tetragonal structured SnO(2) nanowires were obtained, whose surfaces were coated with single-layer ZnO nanocrystals with an average diameter of less than 5 nm. The nanowires had cross-rectangle section with width-to-thickness aspect ratio ranging from 2:1 to 5:1. The lengths of the nanowires were several tens of micrometers. ZnO nanocrystals were single crystalline wurtzite structures, which coated the whole nanowires and distributed uniformly. The possible growth mechanism of the composite nanowires may be enucleated that Zn atoms in the source vapor will replace the Sn atoms on the surface of the formed SnO(2) nanowires due to the higher reducibility of Zn than Sn. Two strong Raman scattering peaks at 626 and 656 cm(-1) appeared in the micro-Raman spectrum of nc-ZnO/SnO(2) nanowires. The origins of the peaks were discussed. Most importantly, the method can be extended to other composite oxide nanowires that are synthesized by oxidizing two kinds of metals, such as high reducibility elements Mg, Al, Zn, and Ti, and low reducibility elements In, Ge, Ga, etc.     

Chromatographic evaluation of perphenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin bonded stationary phase for micro-high performance liquid chromatography and pressurized capillary electrochromatography

Application of mono (6^A-N-ethylenediamine-6^A-deoxy) perphenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) bonded stationary phase (CSP) in micro-high performance liquid chromatography (micro-HPLC) and pressurized capillary electrochromatography (p-CEC) was firstly presented. A series of racemic α-amidophosphonates were resolved in reversed- and normal-phase modes on this CSP. The investigated chromatographic parameters include retention factor (k′), separation factor (α) and resolution (Rs) of solutes. In addition, the structural variation of the solutes and the experimental factors affecting chiral separations have been examined, including the percentage of alcohol modifier, the linear velocity (u) of the mobile phase, electrical field strength, etc. Baseline separation was achieved for most of the entities. Hydrophobic interaction, steric effect and π-π interaction contribute to the possible mechanism. Comparative results indicate that higher Rs value up to 3.1 was found in micro-HPLC, higher efficiency up to 29,970 in p-CEC.
