GaSb based lasers operating near 2.3 microm for high resolution absorption spectroscopy

The paper describes results obtained with a new type of GaSb based semiconductor distributed feedback multiple quantum well lasers operating in continuous wave mode well above room temperature. The lasers show good tunability both by current and temperature from 0 to +60 degrees C and current from threshold up to 120 mA. They all operate in high power (1-3 mW) single mode regime and can be tuned in the methane and ammonia overtone absorption spectral range over up to 12 cm(-1) and can be used for the detection of these and other gases.

A silica-based monolithic column in capillary HPLC and CEC coupled with ESI-MS or electrospray-atmospheric-pressure laser ionization-MS

We describe the successful coupling of CEC and capillary HPLC with the recently developed atmospheric-pressure laser ionization (APLI) method. APLI is suitable for selectively and sensitively ionizing nonpolar aromatic compounds at ambient pressure for subsequent mass-selective detection. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons used as analytes are first separated either by CEC on a silica-based monolithic column or by capillary HPLC. The eluent, along with a sheath flow, is volatilized by microelectrospray and then selectively ionized by excimer laser (KrF*) radiation via two-photon excitation. A QTOF-MS is used as mass-selective detector. This interface combination makes soft ionization of thermally labile nonpolar aromatic analytes possible.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Dinuclear Cu(II) Complex with Tridentate Schiff Base and Azido Bridge

1 INTRODUCTION The azido ligand is an efficient superexchange path-way for propagating magnetic interaction between theparamagnetic centers, such as copper(II), giving di-nuclear, tetranuclear, 1D, 2D and 3D complexes[1～4].The versatility of this ligand due to its diverse bin-ding modes leads to the variation in magnetic pro-perties that depend on its orientation with respect tothe magnetic centers. In general, the bridging modesobserved for the azido group are endtoend and en-don. In…

A Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of CN on Ni(111) Surface

1 INTRODUCTION Cyanide, CN, is an important free-radical mole-cule of one carbon chemistry, organic chemistry, free-radical chemistry and cosmochemistry. And the im-portant industrial processes, such as the Andrussovreaction, depend on the reactivity of CN bond[1]. Thechemistry of cyanide is also important in the surfacechemistry of a number of C- and N-containing sys-tems[1, . During the past decade, the adsorption of 2]CN and CN-containing molecules on transition metalsurfa…     

At nonzero temperatures, stacked structures of methylated nucleic acid base pairs and microhydrated nonmethylated nucleic acid base pairs are favored over planar hydrogen-bonded structures: a molecular dynamics simulations study

The dynamic structure of all ten possible nucleic acid (NA) base pairs and methylated NA base pairs hydrated by a small number of water molecules (from 1 to 16) was determined by using molecular dynamics simulations in the NVE microcanonical and NVT canonical ensembles with the Cornell force field (W. D. Cornell, P. Cieplak, C. I. Bayly, I. R. Gould, K. M. Merz, D. M. Ferguson, D. C. Spellmeyer, T. Fox, J. E. Caldwell, P. Kollman, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 5179). The presence of one water molecule does not affect the structure of any hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) nonmethylated base pair. An equal population of H-bonded and stacked structures of adenine...adenine, adenine...guanine and adenine... thymine pairs is reached if as few as two water molecules are present, while obtaining equal populations of these structures in the case of adenine...cytosine, cytosine...thymine, guanine... guanine and guanine...thymine required the presence of four water molecules, and in the case of guanine...cytosine, six. A comparable population of planar, H-bonded and stacked structures for cytosine...cytosine and thymine... thymine base pairs was only obtained if at least eight water molecules hydrated a pair. Methylation of bases changed the situation dramatically and stacked structures were favoured over H-bonded ones even in the absence of water molecules in most cases. Only in the case of methyl cytosine...methyl cytosine, methyl guanine...methyl guanine and methyl guanine...methyl cytosine pairs were two, two or six water molecules, respectively, needed in order to obtain a comparable population of planar, H-bonded and stacked structures. We believe that these results give clear evidence that the preferred stacked structure of NA base pairs in the microhydrated environment, and also apparently in a regular solvent, is due to the hydrophilic interaction of a small number of water molecules. In the case of methylated bases, it is also due to the fact that the hydrogen atoms most suitable for the formation of H-bonds have been replaced by a methyl group. A preferred stacked structure is, thus, not due to a hydrophobic interaction between a large bulk of water molecules and the base pair, as believed.     

高压条件下合成硅纳米线

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were synthesized with silicon monoxide as the only starting material. At the beginning, a protective gas argon was charged into the reaction chamber and the temperature ramp was controlled at 3 ℃·min^-1. The growth condition for SiNWs was controlled at 480 ℃ under the pressure of 2.8 MPa. The morphology and the structure of the products were characterized by TEM, HRTEM and XRD. The results revealed that SiNWs were diamond structure and their diameters were distributed from 5 to 25 nm. The SiNW was single crystal in the central core and was coated with amorphous silica shell at the exterior surface. Influenced by the quantum effect, Raman spectrum of the SiNWs was found to be redshifted. The oxide-assisted growth mechanism was suggested to explain the growth model of self-assembled SiNWs.
