Studies of tetracene- and pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors fabricated by the neutral cluster beam deposition method

The neutral cluster beam deposition (NCBD) method has been applied to produce and characterize organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based upon tetracene and pentacene molecules as active layers. Organic thin films were prepared by the NCBD method on hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)-untreated and -pretreated silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrates at room temperature. The surface morphology and structures for the tetracene and pentacene thin films were examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The measurements demonstrate that the weakly bound and highly directional neutral cluster beams are efficient in producing high-quality single-crystalline thin films with uniform, smooth surfaces and that SiO2 surface treatment with HMDS enhances the crystallinity of the pentacene thin-film phase. Tetracene- and pentacene-based OTFTs with the top-contact structure showed typical source-drain current modulation behavior with different gate voltages. Device parameters such as hole carrier mobility, current on/off ratio, threshold voltage, and subthreshold slope have been derived from the current-voltage characteristics together with the effects of surface treatment with HMDS. In particular, the high field-effect room-temperature mobilities for the HMDS-untreated OTFTs are found to be comparable to the most widely reported values for the respective untreated tetracene and pentacene thin-film transistors. The device performance strongly correlates with the surface morphology, and the structural properties of the organic thin films are discussed.     

Multiplicity of Solutions of the Weighted p-Laplacian with Isolated Singularity and Diffusion Suppressed by Convection

In this paper, the authors study the multiplicity of solutions to the weighted p-Laplacian with isolated singularity and di?usion suppressed by convection ?div(|x|^α|?u|^p?2?u) + λ 1/|x|^β |?u|^p?2?u · x = |x|^γg(|x|) in B \ {0} subject to nonlinear Robin boundary value condition |x|^α|?u|^p?2?u · ?n = A ? ρu on ?B,where λ > 0, B ? R^N(N ≥ 2) is the unit ball centered at the origin, α > 0, p > 1, β ∈ R, γ > ?N, g ∈ C([0,1]) with g(0) > 0, A ∈ R, ρ > 0 and ?n is the unit outward normal. The same problem with di?usion promoted by convection, namely λ ≤ 0, has already been discussed by the last two authors (Song-Yin (2012)), where the existence, nonexistence and classi?cation of singularities for solutions are presented. Completely di?erent from [Song, H. J. and Yin, J. X., Removable isolated singularities of solutions to the weighted p-Laplacian with singular convection, Math. Meth. Appl. Sci., 35, 2012, 1089–1100], in the present case λ > 0, namely the di?usion is suppressed by the convection, non-singular solutions are not only existent but also may be in?nite which vary according only to the values of solutions at the isolated singular point. At the same time, the singular solutions may exist only if the di?usion dominates the convection.     

非线性方程组的符号矩阵，正则分裂与单调包含（Ⅰ）

As a continuation of part I of the paper under the same title, we developgeneral monotonic enclosure methods for the couple systems of the splitting equations {x=G([x]a,[x]b,[y]c) y=G([y]a,[y]b,[x]c),which models the system of equations associated with hybrid and aaynchronotts monotonicity as well as convexity. The resulting algorithms and convergence theorems generalize and unify various known methods and monotonic enclosure theorents established by other authors.     

Global energy spectra of bands and density of states in a class of two-tile systems

Electronic properties of a general class of one-dimensional two-tile systems are calculated exactly. The systems containing periodic crystals, generalized Fibonacci quasicrystals, generalized Thue-Morse aperiodic lattices and even other two-tile aperiodic lattices, can be divided into two different families which are constructed by the inflation rules: {A, B}{A ^m11 B ^m12,A ^m21 B ^m22} and {A, B}{A ⁿ¹¹ B ⁿ¹²,B ⁿ²¹ A ⁿ²²}, respectively. As typical examples, global spectra of bands and density of states in some two-tile aperiodic systems are numerically calculated. Some interesting properties are obtained.

Improvement of an integral approximation scheme based on semiorthogonalized orbitals

In a previous paper, a scheme of integral approximation was proposed, in which a large number of two-electron integrals containing a certain kind of orbital pairs, i.e., weakly related pairs, can be neglected. A new criterion for partitioning orbital pairs into two groups, i.e., strongly and weakly related pairs, is introduced in order to allow for neglect of more integrals without sacrificing the accuracy of a computation. Test calculations on the BH₃? C₂H₄ complex show that by the use of the new version, results of roughly the same accuracy as was obtained by the old version is obtained by retaining 80% of the integrals used in the old version. This kind of saving is more significant for larger molecules. For example, in a calculation on Cu-porphine with 203 CGTO 'S , the revised version will require about 2.0 × 10⁶ integrals, while the original version will require about 4.5 × 10⁶. And these two approximate calculations are expected to give the results of roughly the same accuracy.     

Purification and characterization of recombinant murine endostatin in E. coli

Endostatin, a carboxyl-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII is known as an anti-angiogenic agent, that specifically inhibits the proliferation of endothelial cell and the growth of several primary tumor. We report here the purification and characterization of the recombinant murine endostatin (rmEndostatin) which was expressed in a prokaryotic expression system. This rmEndostatin has similar physiochemical properties of yeast-produced recombinant endostatin, and it also specifically inhibits the proliferation and migration of bovine capillary endothelial cells stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor. The biological activity of rmEndostatin was also shown by its anti-angiogenic ability on the chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryo in vivo. In this article, we demonstrate the refolding and purification of rmEndostatin, expressed using E. coli system, to a biologically active and soluble form. In addition, these results confirm the activity of endostatin as a potent anti-angiogenic agent.
