Spark source mass spectrometric assessment of boron and nitrogen concentrations in crystalline gallium arsenide

The residual or doped element concentration [E] in GaAs measured by SSMS is only accurate with respect to the relative sensitivity coefficient RSC_E. For a trace element concentration, the RSC_E = [E]_SSMS/[E]_TRUE is set to unity, if no reference material or method is available to approximate the concentration to the true value. For boron a relative sensitivity coefficient of RSC_B = 0.94 ± 0.08 was obtained using TI-IDMS as a reference method. RSC_N = 1 is used for nitrogen determinations. A boron and nitrogen detection limit of 4.4 × 10¹³ cm^–3 is achieved. SSMS was used as reference method to calibrate the FTIR factor f_E = [E] / I_α due to the integrated local vibrational mode absorption I_α of atomic boron and nitrogen in GaAs. A factor of f_B = (12.0 × 2.7) × 10¹⁶ cm^–1 (517 cm^–1) and f_N = (7.4 ± 0.1) × 10¹⁵ cm^–1 (472 cm^–1) was obtained for a boron and nine nitrogen containing GaAs samples at 77 K and 10 K, respectively.

An Approach to NMR Assignment of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

An efficient approach to NMR assignments in intrinsically disordered proteins is presented, making use of the good dispersion of cross peaks observed in [¹⁵N,¹³C′]‐ and [¹³C′,¹H^N]‐correlation spectra. The method involves the simultaneous collection of {3D (H)NCO(CAN)H and 3D (HACA)CON(CA)HA} spectra for backbone assignments via sequential H^N and H^α correlations and {3D (H)NCO(CACS)HS and 3D (HS)CS(CA)CO(N)H} spectra for side‐chain ¹H and ¹³C assignments, employing sequential ¹H data acquisitions with direct detection of both the amide and aliphatic protons. The efficacy of the approach for obtaining resonance assignments with complete backbone and side‐chain chemical shifts is demonstrated experimentally for the 61‐residue [¹³C,¹⁵N]‐labelled peptide of a voltage‐gated potassium channel protein of the Kv1.4 channel subunit. The general applicability of the approach for the characterisation of moderately sized globular proteins is also demonstrated.     

Spin-state dynamics of a photochromic iron(II) complex and its immobilization on oxide surfaces via phenol anchors

This work presents a detailed study of the photo-induced spin-state dynamics of the photochromic iron(II) complex 1, where the metal ion is in the field of a tripodal hexa-imine ligand with protolysable phenol groups. The nature of the complex’s ground state has been identified as a spin singlet by ¹H NMR and steady-state UV/vis spectroscopies, and its distorted octahedral structure was analyzed via crystal structure determination. Sub-picosecond and nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis experiments identify the long-lived quintet state of 1 as the selective product of photoexcitation in the UV/vis spectral region. Thermal barriers of spin-state interconversion as a function of solvent and added base are derived from temperature-dependent rates of transient decay. Ground-state recovery is found to be significantly affected by the solvent and is strongly enhanced, in particular, by base-driven solvolysis of the ligand’s phenol groups. Partial spontaneous deprotonation of the phenolic hydroxyl groups of 1 seems to prevail on metal oxide surfaces, i.e. on alumina. Composite materials, like 1 at Al₂O₃, that retain the characteristic spectral features of the parent iron(II) complex can be readily obtained by wet impregnation of hydrous alumina with solutions of 1.     

Kaon interferometry

2-kaon and 2-pion correlation functions for an expanding thermalized source are compared. In the Yano-Koonin-Podgoretskii parametrization of the correlation function, the HBT radius parameters are shown to obeyM _∟-scaling in the absence of collective transverse flow. This scaling is broken by transverse flow. An accurate comparison of pion and kaon correlations can thus resolve issue whether the observedM _∟-dependence of the transverse radius parameter is due to transverse collective flow or other transverse gradients. Effects from resonance decays are shortly discussed.
