Correspondence Between Oscillations and Emitted Photon Closed-Orbits in Spontaneous Emission Rate of an Atom Near a Dielectric Slab

We study the oscillations in the spontaneous emission rate of an atom near a dielectric slab. The emission rate is calculated as a function of system size using quantum electrodynamics. It exhibits multi-periodic oscillations. Four frequencies of the oscillations are extracted by Fourier transforms. They agree with actions of photon closed-orbits going away and returning to the atom. These oscillations are explained as manifestations of quantum interference effects between the emitted photon wave near the atom and the returning photon waves travelling along various closed-orbits.

Insights into the Allosteric Effect of SENP1 Q597A Mutation on the Hydrolytic Reaction of SUMO1 via an Integrated Computational Study

Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-specific protease 1 (SENP1) is a cysteine protease that catalyzes the cleavage of the C-terminus of SUMO1 for the processing of SUMO precursors and deSUMOylation of target proteins. SENP1 is considered to be a promising target for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and prostate cancer. SENP1 Gln597 is located at the unstructured loop connecting the helices α4 to α5. The Q597A mutation of SENP1 allosterically disrupts the hydrolytic reaction of SUMO1 through an unknown mechanism. Here, extensive multiple replicates of microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, coupled with principal component analysis, dynamic cross-correlation analysis, community network analysis, and binding free energy calculations, were performed to elucidate the detailed mechanism. Our MD simulations showed that the Q597A mutation induced marked dynamic conformational changes in SENP1, especially in the unstructured loop connecting the helices α4 to α5 which the mutation site occupies. Moreover, the Q597A mutation caused conformational changes to catalytic Cys603 and His533 at the active site, which might impair the catalytic activity of SENP1 in processing SUMO1. Moreover, binding free energy calculations revealed that the Q597A mutation had a minor effect on the binding affinity of SUMO1 to SENP1. Together, these results may broaden our understanding of the allosteric modulation of the SENP1−SUMO1 complex.     

Steam-assisted crystallization of highly dispersed nanosized hierarchical zeolites from solid raw materials and their catalytic performance in lactide production

A solvent-free route based on solid raw materials affords higher product yield and lower waste production compared to the traditional hydrothermal synthesis. However, the as-made zeolites usually present blocky aggregation states, limiting their mass transfer and exposure of active sites in catalytic applications. Herein, highly dispersed nanosized hierarchical Beta zeolites with varied Si/Al ratios were prepared via steam-assisted crystallization from ball-milled solid raw materials. Thanks to the sufficient mixing of solid raw materials and favorable migration of solid mixture, nanosized Beta zeolites are obtained that are assembled from nanoparticles (∼15 nm) and possess abundant interconnected intraparticle mesopores. The strategy can also be extended to synthesize nanosized hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites. The as-prepared Beta zeolite (Si/Al = 10) exhibits outstanding catalytic performance in conversion of lactic acid to lactide (as high as 77.5% in yield). This work provides avenues for simple and cost-efficient synthesis of highly dispersed nanosized hierarchical zeolites, promising their important catalytic applications.

A cost-effective synthesis strategy based on steam-assisted crystallization from ball-milled solid raw materials is developed to prepare a highly dispersed nanosized hierarchical Beta zeolite for conversion of lactic acid (LA) to lactide (LT).     

Common (π,π) Band Folding and Surface Reconstruction in Fe As-Based Superconductors

High resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES) measurements are carried out on CaKFe_4 As_4,KCa_2 Fe_4 As_4 F_2 and(Ba_(0.6)K_(0.4))Fe_2 As_2 superconductors.Clear evidence of band folding between the Brillouin zone center and corners with a(π,π) wave vector has been found from the measured Fermi surface and band structures in all the three kinds of superconductors.A dominant ~(1/2)×~(1/2) surface reconstruction is observed on the cleaved surface of CaKFe_4As_4 by scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) measurements.We propose that the commonly observed ~(1/2)×~(1/2) reconstruction in the FeAs-based superconductors provides a general scenario to understand the origin of the(π,π) band folding.Our observations provide new insights in understanding the electronic structure and superconductivity mechanism in iron-based superconductors.     

并五噻吩分子光谱和激发态的密度泛函理论

首次采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的B3LYP方法,在6-31G(d)水平上对并五噻吩进行了构型优化,并作振动分析,未出现虚频。频率分析得到分子红外光谱和拉曼光谱,同时也得到分子的HOMO-LUMO能隙为3.86eV,所得计算结果与实验值基本符合。利用含时密度泛函理论(TDDFT)计算其激发态,得到振荡强度最大的五个允许跃迁的单激发态,所有激发态光谱均在紫外波段,故在可见光区域分子相对稳定,不易光致分解。对前线分子轨道HOMO和LUMO分析得到,HOMO到LUMO的跃迁是电子从C原子转移到S原子上,C—C原子之间形成离域键,这正是并五噻吩区别于一般有机材料而具有导电性的根本原因。结果表明:相对于并五苯,并五噻吩具有更高的稳定性,同时具有很好的导电性能和发光性能,是新一类有机半导体材料。
