Study of He-induced nano-cavities as sinks of oxygen for forming silicon-on-insulator

In the present work, a Cz-Silicon wafer is implanted with helium ions to produce a buried porous layer, and then thermally annealed in a dry oxygen atmosphere to make oxygen transport into the cavities. The formation of the buried oxide layer in the case of internal oxidation （ITOX） of the buried porous layer of cavities in the silicon sample is studied by positron beam annihilation （PBA）. The cavities are formed by 15 keV He implantation at a fluence of 2×10^16 cm^-2 and followed by thermal annealing at 673 K for 30 min in vacuum. The internal oxidation is carried out at temperatures ranging from 1073 to 1473 K for 2 h in a dry oxygen atmosphere. The layered structures evolved in the silicon are detected by using the PBA and the thicknesses of their layers and nature are also investigated. It is found that rather high temperatures must be chosen to establish a sufficient flux of oxygen into the cavity layer. On the other hand high temperatures lead to coarsening the cavities and removing the cavity layer finally.     

Simultaneous determination of four tanshinones in Salvia miltiorrhiza by pressurized liquid extraction and capillary electrochromatography

A pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and CEC were developed for the simultaneous determination of four tanshinones (dihydrotanshinone I, cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA) in Salvia miltiorrhiza. High extraction efficiency (>98.5%) was achieved under the optimum PLE conditions. A good separation was obtained by using a Hypersil C18 capillary (3 microm, 100 microm/25 cm) with a mixture of 30 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5)-ACN (1:3, v/v) as BGE solution running at 20 kV and 20 degrees C within 12 min. All the calibration curves showed good linearity (r2 >0.9958) within test ranges. The developed method showed good repeatability for the quantification of four investigated components in S. miltiorrhiza with intra- and interday variations of less than 4.4 and 6.8%, respectively. The validated method was successfully applied to quantify four tanshinones in S. miltiorrhiza, which is helpful to control the quality of S. miltiorrhiza.     

5,6-位烷氧基保护和3-/3,8-位三苯胺拓展1,10-菲咯啉衍生物与银离子识别

在1,10-菲咯啉的5,6-位引入烷氧基后,分子的反应活性明显提升,同时获得的三苯胺基（TPA）衍生物的溶解性也明显提高。晶体结构分析表明：烷氧基团是以六元环形式的乙撑二氧结构接入1,10-菲咯啉环的5,6-位。化合物TPA1和TPA2均对Ag+表现出选择性识别作用。其中,TPA1与Ag⁺作用后虽然荧光减弱不明显,但其发射波长明显红移（47 nm）。而TPA2和Ag⁺作用后,415和542 nm处荧光发射峰同时淬灭。化合物TPA3虽然也能与Ag⁺发生相互作用使荧光减弱,但是其荧光减弱幅度不大,很容易受到其它杂离子干扰影响,不适用于离子识别研究。

Monitoring nanobubble nucleation at early-stage within a sub-9 nm solid-state nanopore

Nanobubble nucleation study is important for understanding the dynamic behavior of nanobubble growth, which is instructive for the nanobubble applications. Benefiting from nanopore fabrication, herein, we fabricated a sub-9 nm SiN_X nanopore with the comparable size to nanobubbles at early-stage. The confined nanopore interface serves as a generator for producing nanobubbles by the chemical reaction between NaBH₄ and H₂O and as an ultra-sensitive sensor for monitoring the H₂ nanobubble nucleation process. By carrying out the NaBH₄ concentration-dependent experiments, we found the life-time of nanobubbles decreased 250 times and the frequency of nanobubble generation increased 38 times with the NaBH₄ concentration increasing from 6 to 100 mM. The long-time equilibrium between gas molecules inward flux and outward flux could prolong the life-time of nanobubbles to hundreds of milliseconds at low NaBH₄ concentration. The raw current trace depicted that the transient accumulation and dissolution of cavity occurred during all the life-time of nanobubbles. Therefore, the sub-9 nm SiN_X nanopore shows a strong ability for real-time monitoring the nanobubble nucleation at early-stage with high temporal and spatial resolution. This work provides a guide to study the dynamic and stochastic characteristics of nanobubbles.
