Formation of concentration gradient and its application to DNA capillary electrophoresis

A new method to introduce the concentration gradient into the capillary has been developed and its application to DNA capillary electrophoresis is presented. The concentration gradient produced by mixing 5% w/v polyacrylamide-co-poly(N-dimethylacrylamide) (PAM-co-PDMA) solution and 1 x Tris/N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-3-amino-propanesulfonic acid/EDTA (TT) + 5 M urea buffer was successfully achieved by using two programmable syringe pumps with strict control of dead volume, flow rate, and pressure balance. This method has the advantages of high stability, reproducibility, and versatility. The column with concentration gradient greatly improved the resolution, especially for the large DNA fragments, due to a decrease in band width broadening with time. A column containing 2-4% w/v gradient in four steps had a longer read length, shorter separation time and better resolution (after 380 base) than that of 4% w/v single concentration polymer solution. The number of steps in the gradient had almost no effect on the performance. The change in the average concentration by relocating the position of the same step gradient, i.e., a combination of different low concentration to high concentration polymer solution ratios, resulted in a different migration time, read length and resolution.     

Transverse asymmetry AT' from the quasielastic 3He(e,e') process and the neutron magnetic form factor

We have measured the transverse asymmetry A(T') in 3He(e,e(')) quasielastic scattering in Hall A at Jefferson Laboratory with high precision for Q2 values from 0.1 to 0.6 (GeV/c)(2). The neutron magnetic form factor G(n)(M) was extracted based on Faddeev calculations for Q2 = 0.1 and 0.2 (GeV/c)(2) with an experimental uncertainty of less than 2%.     

Phonon screening in high-temperature superconductors

In good conductors optical phonons are usually screened, and therefore not observed. However, sharp features due to infrared-active modes in the copper-oxygen planes are observed in the optical conductivity of Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4 and YBa2Cu3O6.95. Oscillator strengths indicate that the screening of these modes is poor or totally absent. These materials are compared with eta-Mo4O11, in which lattice modes appear suddenly below the charge-density wave transition. It is proposed that poor screening in the cuprates originates from fluctuating charge inhomogeneities in the copper-oxygen planes.

量子比特的普适远程翻转和克隆

提出一种把量子隐形传态、最佳普适量子比特翻转和最佳普适量子克隆三者结合起来的量子比特普适远程翻转和克隆方案.当发送者和处于不同地点的三个接收者共享一个特定的四粒子纠缠态作为量子信道时,通过发送者的Bell基测量、经典通信和各个接收者的局域幺正变换,一个接收者能够以2/3的最佳保真度得到一份原未知量子比特的正交补态,另外两个接收者能够分别以5/6的最佳保真度得到原未知量子比特的一份拷贝.此方案用较少的量子纠缠资源同时完成了未知量子比特的普适远程翻转和克隆,且其保真度分别达到了最佳.实现此方案的关键在于构造出发送者和接收者共享的特定四粒子纠缠态作为量子信道,分析了此特殊四粒子态内在的纠缠结构.     

有耗孤子的最小作用量原理及其在二维光子带隙结构中的应用

采用变分方法对于二维矩形光子带隙结构中X点孤子的耗散以及相干作用进行了动力学分析.通过对由作用量原理得到的孤子参量联立方程组的分析可知，除了耗散作用导致孤子的幅度衰减，并引起孤子横向的展宽以外，同向孤子的相互作用负势函数为耗散作用所减弱，从而使得孤子在x方向的束缚态被削弱.孤子中心间距随x的增加呈现出增幅变化且波动周期增大，当纵向距离增大到一定值后，孤子中心间距将一直增大下去.     

Mn22+离子1s22s-1s2np的偶极跃迁能和振子强度

用全实加关联方法计算了类锂Mn22 离子1s22s-1s2np(2≤n≤9)的偶极跃迁能和振子强度.1s2np(2≤n≤9)态的精细结构通过计算自旋-轨道与自旋-其他轨道相互作用算符的期待值确定.依据单通道量子亏损理论,确定了Rydberg系列1s2np的量子数亏损.从而可以用这些作为能量的缓变函数的量子亏损,实现对任意高激发态(n≥10)的能量的可靠预言.将这些分立态振子强度与单通道量子亏损理论相结合,得到在电离阈附近束缚态-束缚态跃迁振子强度以及束缚态-连续态跃迁的振子强度密度,从而将Mn22 离子的这一重要光谱特性的理论预言外推到整个能域.     

Observation of Diffusion Process of a Water Droplet Immersed in Protein Solution in Microgravity

Pure liquid-liquid diffusion driven by concentration gradients is hard to study in a normal gravity environment since convection and sedimentation also contribute to the mass transfer process. We employ a Math Zehnder interferometer to monitor the mass transfer process of a water droplet in EAFP protein solution under micro- gravity condition provided by the Satellite Shi Jian No 8, A series of the evolution charts of mass distribution during the diffusion process of the liquid droplet are presented and the relevant diffusion coefficient is determined.     

Coherent Scattering of Light by Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Tight Confinement

We have observed strong scattering of a probe light by dilute Bose-Einstein condensate （BEC） ^87Rb gas in a tight magnetic trap. The scattering light forms fringes at the image plane. It is found that we can infer the real size of the condensation and the number of the atoms by modelling the imaging system. We present a quantitative calculation of light scattering by the condensed atoms. The calculation shows that the experimental results agree well with the prediction of the generalized diffraction theory, and thus we can directly observe the phase transition of BEC in a tight trap.     

直接扣除法测量半导体光放大器频率响应

在光电子器件散射参量定义的基础上建立了基于直接扣除法的半导体光放大器频率响应测量系统,测量中通过扣除激光器和探测器系统的频率响应,得到放大器固有的频率响应。对InGaAsP体材料行波腔半导体光放大器样品进行了测量,得到了放大器在不同注入光功率和不同偏置电流下的频率响应曲线。这些曲线很好地反应了半导体光放大器的增益饱和和噪声特性,进一步分析发现半导体光放大器对低频调制信号的放大能力弱于对高频信号的放大能力,分析认为其原因在于半导体光放大器的载流子寿命有限导致低频信号长时间消耗载流子时,载流子数量无法及时恢复,从而使得增益降低。
