光学微球腔谐振模式研究

使用时域有限差分法对近场耦合状态下的光学微腔进行了计算。系统地研究了微腔中不同阶径向模式的各方面性能的差异。并在此基础上讨论了通过改变耦合参数，选择性增强特定模式的途径。研究了数种非均匀介质微腔的性能改变，指出选择性增强特定模式，可以通过以下两类方法：一是对于均匀介质分布的微腔，通过改变耦合参数来改变修逝波场的场强和相位分布，例如改变入射波的入射角，改变耦合间距。二是通过区域性改变微腔的折射率分布来改变微腔的修逝波场的场强和相位分布，如折射率改变（△n）折射率梯度（dn/dr）。探讨选择性抑制高阶模形成改善微腔性能的途径。使得基模获得到高能量密度，和更低的模式体积为研究原子或离子与微腔的相互作用提供更好的环境。     

Native polyacrylamide electrophoresis in the presence of Ponceau Red to study oligomeric states of protein complexes

Native polyacrylamide electrophoresis in the presence of two reversible protein anionic stains (Ponceau S and Ponceau 2R) was used to study the oligomeric states of soluble proteins. A mild binding of the used protein stains to nondissociated protein oligomers imposed a charge shift on the proteins resulting into separation of protein species according to their size under physiological conditions. Adsorbed stains could be easily removed after electrophoresis by washing of polyacrylamide gel with buffer and protein complexes could be visualized either by the detection of their enzyme activity or by using a nonspecific protein stain. The specific detection of enzyme activity of glycosidases, lactate dehydrogenase, or phosphatases was shown as an example.     

HETEROAROMATIC POLYMERS—HIGH TEMPERATURE POLYPYRROLONES DERIVED FROM 2,6-BIS(3'''',4''''-DIAMINOPHENYL)-4-BIPHENYLPYRIDINE AND VARIOUS AROMATIC DIANHYDRIDES

A new type of aromatic tetraamine containing biphenyl moiety in the side chain was synthesized via a modified Chichibabin's reaction.3-Nitro-4-acetamidoacetophenone was reacted with 4-phenyl benzaldehyde in the presence of ammonium acetate to obtain 2,6-bis(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-4-biphenyl pyridine(DPPA).A series of polypyrrolones(PPys) were prepared using tetraamine and various aromatic dianhydrides via a two-step cyclization procedure.All the PPys show excellent high temperature stabilities with the initial decomposition temperatures of 530-549℃ and residual weight ratio of 49%-80% at 750℃ in nitrogen.The polymers exhibit no apparent glass transition temperatures(T_gs)except PPy-1 (T_g=327℃),which is derived from tetraamine DPPA and 2,2-bis[4-(3',4'-dicarboxyphenoxy)-phenyl]propane dianhydride (BPADA).In addition,the polymers have acceptable mechanical properties with the tensile strength of 65-94 MPa.The PPy films show excellent hydrolysis-resistance in alkaline aqueous medium and could maintain most of the properties even after boiling in 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution for a week.

Fewest switches adiabatic surface hopping as applied to vibrational energy relaxation

In this contribution quantum/classical surface hopping methodology is applied to vibrational energy relaxation of a quantum oscillator in a classical heat bath. The model of a linearly damped (harmonic) oscillator is chosen which can be mapped onto the Brownian motion (Caldeira-Leggett) Hamiltonian. In the simulations Tully's fewest switches surface hopping scheme is adopted with inclusion of dephasing in the adiabatic basis using a simple decoherence algorithm. The results are compared to the predictions of a Redfield-type quantum master equation modeling using the classical heat bath force correlation function as input. Thereby a link is established between both types of quantum/classical approaches. Viewed from the latter perspective, surface hopping with dephasing may be interpreted as "on-the-fly" stochastic realization of a quantum/classical Pauli master equation.
