Observation of microsphere movement driven by optical pulse

A laser beam was coupled into a tapered optical fiber tip with a diameter of about 2.6 μm, and a 46 μm diameter microsphere was propelled by the outgoing optical pulse. With the change of pulse energy from 1.35 to 7.22 μJ, the calculated average velocity of the driven microsphere varied from 0.38 to 10.68 cm/s. The scanning electron microscope images of the fiber tip show that there is no thermal damage during the experiment.     

基于紫外刻写相移光栅的温度应力同时测量传感器

传统光纤光栅传感器存在温度应力交叉敏感的问题,无法同时测量被测物体的温度应力变化情况。针对这种情况,提出一种新型的利用紫外光刻写相移光栅的方法,在刻写光栅前用电极放电的方法去除掉极小一段光纤的光敏性,使光纤原有的均匀周期分布状态被破坏,从而形成相移光栅,并对其进行理论分析。此种相移光栅的透射光谱存在2个明显的谐振峰,利用2个峰对温度和应变灵敏度不同的性质,可以通过建立解调矩阵来实现温度与应力的同时测量。实验结果表明:利用此种方法制成的相移布拉格光栅能够较为精确地实现温度、应力的同时测量,所制作的传感器温度灵敏度最高可达9.51 pm/℃,灵敏度方差低于2.125×10?7,应变灵敏度最高可达0.767 pm/με,灵敏度方差低于2.156×10?10。     

Electrophoretic ratcheting of spherical particles in well/channel microfluidic devices: Making particles move against the net field

We examine the electrophoresis of spherical particles in microfluidic devices made of alternating wells and narrow channels, including a system previously used to separate DNA molecules. Our computer simulations predict that such systems can be used to separate spherical particles of different sizes that share the same free-solution mobility. Interestingly, the electrophoretic velocity shows an inversion as the field intensity is increased: while small particles have higher velocities at low field, the situation is reversed at high fields with the larger particles then moving faster. The resulting nonlinearity suggests that asymmetric pulsed electric fields could be used to build separation ratchets: particles then have a net size-dependent velocity in the presence of a zero-mean external field. Exploiting the inversion mentioned above, we show how to design pulsed field sequences that make particles move against the mean field (an example of negative mobility). Finally, we demonstrate that it is possible to use pulsed fields to make particles of different sizes move in opposite directions, even though their charge have the same sign.     

Raman Spectroscopic Characterization of Graphene

Abstract

The recent progress using Raman spectroscopy and imaging of graphene is reviewed. The intensity of the G band increases with increased graphene layers, and the shape of 2D band evolves into four peaks of bilayer graphene from a single peak of monolayer graphene. The G band will blue shift and become narrow with both electron and hole doping, whereas the 2D band will blue shift with hole doping and red shift with electron doping. Frequencies of the G and 2D band will downshift with increasing temperature. Under compressed strain, the upshift of the G and 2D bands can be found. Moreover, the strong Raman signal of monolayer graphene is explained by interference enhancement effect. As for epitaxial graphene, Raman spectroscopy can be used to identify the superior and inferior carrier mobility. The edge chirality of graphene can be determined by using polarized Raman spectroscopy. All results mentioned here are closely relevant to the basic theory of graphene and application in nanodevices.

Synthesis of dibenzopyranones and pyrazolobenzopyranones through copper(0)/Selectfluor system-catalyzed double CH activation/oxygen insertion of 2-arylbenzaldehydes and 5-arylpyrazole-4-carbaldehydes

A mild and efficient protocol for the synthesis of dibenzopyranones and pyrazolobenzopyranones was developed involving a copper(0)/Selectfluor system-catalyzed double CH activation/oxygen insertion of 2-arylbenzaldehydes and 5-arylpyrazole-4-carbaldehydes. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that both water and dioxygen act as the oxygen source in the formation of pyranone scaffolds.
