On-line matrix addition for detecting aerosol particles

Single aerosol particles were measured by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) with an aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ATOFMS). The inlet to the ATOFMS was coupled with an evaporation/condensation flow cell that allowed matrix addition by condensation onto the particles. The coated particles entered the ion source through three-stage differentially pumped capillary inlet and were then ionized by a focused 266 nm Nd:YAG laser. The mass spectra and aerodynamic size of the single particles can be obtained simultaneously. The on-line matrix addition technique makes it possible to identify biological aerosols in real-time.     

Gas source MBE grown wavelength extended 2.2 and 2.5 μm InGaAs PIN photodetectors

Using homo-junction structure and relative thin linear graded In_xGa_1−xAs as the buffer layer, extended wavelength InGaAs PIN photodetectors with cut-off wavelength of 2.2 and 2.5 μm at room temperature have been grown by using GSMBE, and their performance over a wide temperature range have been extensively investigated. For those 2.2 or 2.5 μm detectors with 100 μm diameter, the typical dark current (V_R = 10 mV) and R₀A are 57 nA/10.3 Ω cm² or 67 nA/12.7 Ω cm² at 290 K, and 84 pA/4.70 kΩ cm² or 161 pA/3.12 kΩ cm² at 210 K respectively. The thermal activation energies of the dark current are 0.447 eV or 0.404 eV for 2.2 or 2.5 μm detectors respectively.

Double-clad photonic crystal fiber coupler for compact nonlinear optical microscopy imaging

A 1 x 2 double-clad photonic crystal fiber coupler is fabricated by the fused tapered method, showing a low excess loss of 1.1 dB and a splitting ratio of 97/3 over the entire visible and near-infrared wavelength range. In addition to the property of splitting the laser power, the double-clad feature of the coupler facilitates the separation of a near-infrared single-mode beam from a visible multimode beam, which is ideal for nonlinear optical microscopy imaging. In conjunction with a gradient-index lens, this coupler is used to construct a miniaturized microscope based on two-photon fluorescence and second-harmonic generation. Three-dimensional nonlinear optical images demonstrate potential applications of the coupler to compact all-fiber and nonlinear optical microscopy and endoscopy.

灰气体加权和辐射模型综合评估及分析

在O_2/CO_2气氛下,参与性介质的非灰气体辐射特性表现出不同于空气气氛下的特性,因此,非灰气体辐射模型的选择和应用在换热过程中将变得十分重要.基于统计窄谱带模型,本文综合评估近年发展应用较广的灰气体加权和(WSGG)模型.结果表明,几种WSGG模型的预测值总体趋势正确,但仍存在着一定的差别.对于发射率,Dorigon等(2013 Int.J.Heat Mass Transfer 64 863)和Bordbar等(2014 Combust.Flame 161 2435)的WSGG模型与基准模型符合较好,相对误差小于20%.与离散坐标法结合,本文求解了PH_2O/PCO_2=1,2时的一维平行平板间辐射换热问题.结果显示,由Dorigon等和Bordbar等的WSGG模型得到的辐射热源和热流密度分布的相对误差均较小(10%左右).Johansson等(2011 Combust.Flame 158893)和Bordbar等的WSGG模型具有更广的适用范围.     

Physicochemical properties of nanoparticles affect translocation across pulmonary surfactant monolayer

Interaction between nanoparticles (NPs) and pulmonary surfactant monolayer is one of the most important parts in NP-based pulmonary drug delivery system, which can affect the result of the inhaled nano-drugs and their potential efficacy. Here, we show how surface charge of NPs affects translocation across pulmonary surfactant monolayer with coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The results reveal that the surface charge position of NPs can determine the fate of the inhaled NPs about whether they can have the ability of translocation across the pulmonary surfactant monolayer, which is that NPs with face surface charge can penetrate the pulmonary surfactant monolayer and NPs with edge surface charge cannot. Besides, dynamic process, phase state and the potential of mean force profiles further confirm this result. Moreover, compared to anionic NPs, there is a greater chance for cationic NPs to be adsorbed on the surface of the pulmonary surfactant monolayer, which can further decrease the thickness of the pulmonary surfactant monolayer and reduce the distance between charged NPs and the pulmonary surfactant monolayer. Our researches provide a novel simulation model of NPs on translocation across pulmonary surfactant monolayer and the study of NP-based pulmonary drug delivery system should consider the surface charge of NPs.     

Effect of bromine substituent on optical properties of aryl compounds

Substituents significantly affect optical properties of organic compounds. In this study, a series of organic compounds were synthesized. Ultraviolet‐visible and cyclic voltammetry spectra were determined. The relationships between the number of π electron in an aryl ring and the redshift (and molecular orbital energy levels) were studied. To investigate mechanisms of the bromine substituent effects, theoretical calculations were carried out. Ultraviolet‐visible spectra of bromine‐containing compounds exhibit obvious redshifts (0.04‐0.17 eV) of the maximal absorption wavelengths and enhanced absorbance (11%‐57%) compared with corresponding reference compounds. The lowest unoccupied and highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels of compounds containing bromine substituents are 0.05 to 0.60 and 0.02 to 0.40 eV lower than that of corresponding reference compounds. On the whole, the redshifts and the reduced molecular orbital energy levels caused by bromine substituent decrease with the increase in the number of π electron in an aryl ring. The effects would be attributed to strong p‐π conjugation between p electron in the bromine substituent and π electrons in aryl rings. Therefore, this paper suggests a useful way for tuning optical absorption and molecular orbital energy levels of aryl compounds.
