Nanofabrication: conventional and nonconventional methods

Nanofabrication is playing an ever increasing role in science and technology on the nanometer scale and will soon allow us to build systems of the same complexity as found in nature. Conventional methods that emerged from microelectronics are now used for the fabrication of structures for integrated circuits, microelectro-mechanical systems, microoptics and microanalytical devices. Nonconventional or alternative approaches have changed the way we pattern very fine structures and have brought about a new appreciation of simple and low-cost techniques. We present an overview of some of these methods, paying particular attention to those which enable large-scale production of lithographic patterns. We preface the review with a brief primer on lithography and pattern transfer concepts. After reviewing the various patterning techniques, we discuss some recent application issues in the fields of microelectronics, optoelectronics, magnetism as well as in biology and biochemistry.     

构建网络学习资源提高民族高校有机化学课程教学质量

High-quality online course materials were reconstructed through feedback from undergraduate students and online data analysis regarding constructed learning materials on the Chao Xing Learning Platform. They were used for studying organic chemistry courses online and offline in university for nationalities. This model, based on student-centered teaching, can effectively transform students from passively accepting knowledge to actively learning and internalizing knowledge. This strategy can also enhance the students' learning initiative and the effects of learning, and hopefully be helpful to the universities in multi-ethnic areas in developing fundamental disciplined construction of organic chemistry and other courses.     

Intein-mediated biotinylation of proteins and its application in a protein microarray

We report here the first example using an intein-mediated expression system to generate biotinylated proteins suitable for immobilization onto avidin-functionalized glass slides. With this novel array, proteins are site-specifically immobilized on the glass surface and are able to retain their native activity. The advantage of the avidin/biotin linkage over his-tag/Ni-NTA strategies for protein immobilization is highlighted by its ability to withstand a variety of chemical conditions, which makes this new protein array compatible with most biological assays.     

Organic synthesis on the microgram scale. V

Summary This paper describes a method for theg synthesis of flavone acetates in a sealed capillary tube. The reaction products are separated and purified on a thin-layer plate. The esters are then hydrolyzed on the plate and the parent flavones regenerated. A simple heating device is used which allows for observation of the reaction.

Microwave-assisted deformylation of N-aryl formamide by KF on basic Al2O3

The formyl group was successfully removed from N-aryl formamide by KF on a solid support of basic Al₂O₃ in 4-20 min with microwave irradiation. The conditions mimic base-catalyzed hydrolysis of formamide and are compatible with carbamates and t-butyl esters, but not methyl, ethyl, and benzyl esters.

Study on the effects of fluorine and oxygen deficiency on YBa2Cu307 byab initio method

The calculations of clusters modeling the fluorine-doping and oxygen deficiency of YBa₂Cu₃0₇ have been performed by the method of all-electronab initio Hartree-Fock with self-consistent crystal field. Results show that in CuO planes electric charge significantly increases, the chemical valence of Cu decreases and the covalent bonding of Cu-O greatly weakens owing to oxygen deficiency, while the effect of F restores the local electronic structure of YBa₂Cu₃O₇. The reported opinion that F occupied the oxygen vacancy in Cu-O chains seems disputable according to the calculated bonding characteristics Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Acidities in cyclohexanediols enhanced by intramolecular hydrogen bonds

Equilibrium gas-phase acidities of the six isomeric cyclohexanediols were measured in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. Although all six cyclohexanediols have the same functional groups and similar structures, the acidities vary over 11 kcal/mol. This large difference is due mostly to the balance between hydrogen bonding and geometric strain. To understand the origins of the acidity differences in more detail, the conformations and energetics of the cyclohexanediols were studied using density functional theory, which gave good agreement with the experimental acidities. Finally, methanol-methoxide and methanol-methanol interactions were used as a model for the hydrogen bonding.
