The effects of various substrate conditions on the morphology, crystal structure and photoluminescence of ZnO nanostructures synthesized by nanoparticle-assisted pulsed-laser ablation deposition were investigated. It is concluded that the sapphire substrate with a 1 h anneal at 1000 °C is the most favorable to the vertical growth of ZnO nanostructures. SEM analysis indicates that the well-aligned diameter-modulated ZnO nanonails with unique shape were successfully synthesized on the annealed sapphire substrate. The as-synthesized ZnO nanostructures exhibit an ultraviolet emission at around 390 nm and the absent green emission under room temperature, indicating that there is a very low concentration of deep-level defects inside ZnO lattices. The novel ZnO nanostructures could offer novel opportunities for both fundamental research and technological applications. 相似文献
Mechanochemical coupling was studied for myosin II and V consistently. The fluctuation in myosin V motility was determined by correlating the stochasticity of the ATPase reaction with regular displacements per one ATP, consistent with a tight mechanochemical coupling. In contrast, myosin II, working in an ensemble, was explained by a loose coupling, generating variable step sizes which depend on [ATP] and realizing a much larger step (200 nm) per one ATP than myosin V through its cooperativity at zero load. These different mechanics are ideal for their physiological functions. 相似文献
The Lagrangian structure function's scaling exponents and intermittency of three-dimensional incompressible turbulent channel flow are investigated by using direct numerical simulation. The intermittency in streamwise velocity increments is found to increase in the near-wall region, which can be attributed to the presence of strong mean shear and organized motions in the near-wall region. It is found that the intermittency of transverse velocity increments is weaker than that of longitudinal ones. The present ESS evaluation of ζL(q) for the structure function of the streamwise velocity component in the channel centre is fairly close to experimental estimates of isotropic turbulence. 相似文献
Reactions of 1-phenyl- and 1-methoxy-2-phospholene 1-oxides with bromine in aqueous organic solvents or in a protic medium, such as methanol, easily afforded the corresponding 2-bromo-3-hydroxy- or 2-bromo-3-methoxyphospholane 1-oxide derivatives. The reaction mechanism was postulated based on the stereochemistry of the products. 相似文献
Charge-induced infrared absorption spectra from the metal-insulator-semiconductor diodes fabricated with aluminum oxide, poly(p-xylylene), and SiO2 as gate dielectric and regioregular poly(3-octylthiophene) as organic semiconductor have been measured in situ with reflection or transmission configurations by the FT-IR difference-spectrum method. The observed bands have been attributed to the carriers injected into the polymer layers under the application of minus gate bias. The wavenumber of the band around 1300 cm−1 depends on the gate voltage, indicating that the structure of the carriers depends on the carrier concentration. There exist upper limits in the concentrations of the injected carriers. In situ infrared absorption measurements provide the information about the injected carriers, which affect the properties and the functions of polymer field-effect devices. 相似文献
We report the potential of a small Ca2+-dependent deoxyribozyme as a novel biomaterial to distinguish RNA foldings. It is found that an immobilized deoxyribozyme using avidin-biotin interaction cleaves the target site within only single-stranded RNAs. The RNA cleavage reaction is also detected using the deoxyribozyme SPR sensor chip. Furthermore, we develop a novel NAPzyme (nucleic acid peptide deoxyribozyme) with its RNA cleavage function in the absence of divalent metal ions. 相似文献
The complexation of bile acids with various solvated polycations was studied. A one‐to‐one complex was precipitated when an aqueous solution of cholic acid sodium salt (CA) was mixed with aqueous solutions of 3,3‐ionene and grew to form crystals with needle‐like morphology, 3 millimeters in length. Hydrogen bonding of hydroxyls at the steroid face and the spacing between cationic sites of polycations were crucial for the formation of the giant needle.

We present an optochemical O2 scavenging system that enables precise spatiotemporal control of the level of hypoxia in living cells simply by adjusting the light intensity in the illuminated region. The system employs rhodamine containing a selenium or tellurium atom as an optochemical oxygen scavenger that rapidly consumes O2 by photochemical reaction with glutathione as a coreductant upon visible light irradiation (560–590 nm) and has a rapid response time, within a few minutes. The glutathione-consuming quantum yields of the system were calculated as about 5 %. The spatiotemporal O2 consuming in cultured cells was visualized with a hypoxia-responsive fluorescence probe, MAR. Phosphorescence lifetime imaging was applied to confirmed that different light intensities could generate different levels of hypoxia. To illustrate the potential utility of this system for hypoxia research, we show that it can spatiotemporally control calcium ion (Ca2+) influx into HEK293T cells expressing the hypoxia-responsive Ca2+ channel TRPA1. 相似文献
