Layer-by-layer growth of polar MgO(111) ultrathin films

By alternate deposition of Mg and exposure of O2, layer-by-layer growth, polar MgO(111) ultrathin films with Mg-terminated or O-terminated surfaces have been successfully fabricated on Mo(110) substrate. The surface geometric structure and electronic structures of the polar MgO(111) films were investigated using surface analysis techniques including low-energy electron diffraction and photoelectron emission and electron energy loss spectroscopies. The results indicate that the O-terminated surface is of an insulating character, while for Mg-terminated surface, a prominent new surface state at 2-3 eV and appreciable density of states near Fermi level have been observed. The polar oxide films provide ideal model surfaces for further investigation of support-particle system.

The sandwich-type electrochemiluminescence immunosensor for α-fetoprotein based on enrichment by Fe3O4-Au magnetic nano probes and signal amplification by CdS-Au composite nanoparticles labeled anti-AFP

A novel and sensitive sandwich-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor was fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for ultra trace levels of α-fetoprotein (AFP) based on sandwich immunoreaction strategy by enrichment using magnetic capture probes and quantum dots coated with Au shell (CdS-Au) as the signal tag. The capture probe was prepared by immobilizing the primary antibody of AFP (Ab1) on the core/shell Fe₃O₄-Au nanoparticles, which was first employed to capture AFP antigens to form Fe₃O₄-Au/Ab1/AFP complex from the serum after incubation. The product can be separated from the background solution through the magnetic separation. Then the CdS-Au labeled secondary antibody (Ab2) as signal tag (CdS-Au/Ab2) was conjugated successfully with Fe₃O₄-Au/Ab1/AFP complex to form a sandwich-type immunocomplex (Fe₃O₄-Au/Ab1/AFP/Ab2/CdS-Au), which can be further separated by an external magnetic field and produce ECL signals at a fixed voltage. The signal was proportional to a certain concentration range of AFP for quantification. Thus, an easy-to-use immunosensor with magnetic probes and a quantum dots signal tag was obtained. The immunosensor performed at a level of high sensitivity and a broad concentration range for AFP between 0.0005 and 5.0 ng mL⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.2 pg mL⁻¹. The use of magnetic probes was combined with pre-concentration and separation for trace levels of tumor markers in the serum. Due to the amplification of the signal tag, the immunosensor is highly sensitive, which can offer great promise for rapid, simple, selective and cost-effective detection of effective biomonitoring for clinical application.     

Color Point Tuning in Lu3−x−yMnxAl5−xSixO12:yCe3+ for White LEDs

A series of the solid‐solution phosphors Lu_3?x?yMn_xAl_5?xSi_xO₁₂:yCe³⁺ is synthesized by solid‐state reaction. The obtained phosphors possess the garnet structure and exhibit similar excitation properties as the phosphor Lu₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺, but with an effectively improved red component in the emission spectrum. This can be attributed to the energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Mn²⁺. Our investigation reveals that electric dipole–quadrupole interactions dominate the energy‐transfer mechanism and that the critical distance determined by the spectral overlap method is about 9.21 Å. The color‐tunable emissions of the Lu_3?x?yMn_xAl_5?xSi_xO₁₂:yCe³⁺ phosphor as a function of Mn₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂ content are realized by continuously shifting the chromaticity coordinates from (0.354, 0.570) to (0.462, 0.494). They indicate that the obtained material may have potential application as a blue radiation‐converting phosphor for white LEDs with high‐quality white light.     

Chiral Recognition of Penicillamine Enantiomers Based on DNA‐MWNT Complex Modified Electrode

Double‐stranded DNA and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) complex modified glassy carbon electrodes (DNA‐MWNT‐GCE) were employed to discriminate penicillamine (PA) enantiomers. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy were used to characterize the enantioselective phenomenon. The results indicated that the binding effect between L ‐PA and DNA‐MWNTs was stronger than that of D ‐PA and DNA‐MWNTs. In addition, the influencing factors of the modified electrodes were systematically investigated. The modified electrodes exhibited a linear response towards PA enantiomers from 1.0×10^?1 to 1.0×10^?8 mol L^?1 and detection limits of 3.1×10^?9 and 3.3×10^?8 mol L^?1 for L ‐PA and D ‐PA, respectively.     

Hydrogen Permeation Properties of Perovskite-type BaCe_(0.9)Mn_(0.1)O_(3-δ)Dense Ceramic Membrane

In recent years, mixed-conducting oxides, in which both protonic and electronic charge carriers exist, have received increasing attentions1. Ceramic membranes made of such materials are semipermeable to hydrogen at elevated temperatures. In the early 1980s, Iwahara et al. first reported protonic conduction in SrCeO3-based materials2. Later, BaCeO3 system was extensively studied because of its higher conductivities. However, the electronic conductivity of rare earth doped-BaCeO3 ceramic…
