The light pressure forces acting on a two-level atom in a strong standing laser wave are calculated. It is shown that at strong saturation of a resonant atomic transition the velocity dependence of these forces include sharp variations due to multiphoton resonances. At small atomic velocities these multiphoton resonances may even change the sign of the forces. The results obtained are important for many applications of resonant light pressure, e.g. in cooling and trapping of atoms in standing laser waves. 相似文献

We demonstrate that complexation of dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid, DBSA, to a diblock copolymer of polystyrene- block-poly(4-vinylpyridine), PS- block-P4VP, leads to polymeric supramolecules PS- block-P4VP(DBSA)y (y = 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0), which self-organize with a particularly large lamellar periodicity in excess of 1000 A. The structures consist of alternating PS and P4VP(DBSA)y layers, where the latter contains smaller internal structure, probably lamellar. The DBSA side chains are bonded to the pyridines by protonation and hydrogen bonding and they effectively plasticize the material. In this way relatively well-developed structures are obtained even without annealing or macroscopic alignment. Transmission and reflectance measurements show that a relatively narrow and incomplete bandgap exists for supramolecules of high molecular weight block copolymer at ca. 460 nm. 相似文献

Flotillin-2 and flotillin-1, also called reggie-1 and reggie-2, are ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved proteins. Originally, they were described as neuronal regeneration proteins, but they appear to function in a wide variety of cellular processes, such as membrane receptor signaling, endocytosis, phagocytosis and cell adhesion. The molecular details of the function of flotillins in these processes have only been partially clarified. Flotillins are associated with cholesterol and sphingolipid enriched membrane microdomains known as rafts, and some findings even suggest that they define their own kind of a microdomain. The mechanism of the membrane association of flotillins appears to rely mainly on acylation (myristoylation and/or palmitoylation), localizing flotillins onto the cytosolic side of the membranes, whereas no transmembrane domains are present. In addition, flotillins show a strong tendency to form homo- and hetero-oligomers with each other. In this review, we will summarize the recent findings on the function of flotillins and discuss the mechanisms that might regulate their function, such as membrane association, oligomerization and phosphorylation. 相似文献

We propose an atom interferometer gravitational wave detector in low Earth orbit (AGIS-LEO). Gravitational waves can be observed by comparing a pair of atom interferometers separated by a 30 km baseline. In the proposed configuration, one or three of these interferometer pairs are simultaneously operated through the use of two or three satellites in formation flight. The three satellite configuration allows for the increased suppression of multiple noise sources and for the detection of stochastic gravitational wave signals. The mission will offer a strain sensitivity of ${<10^{-18}/\sqrt{{\rm Hz}}}$ in the 50mHz?C10Hz frequency range, providing access to a rich scientific region with substantial discovery potential. This band is not currently addressed with the LIGO, VIRGO, or LISA instruments. We analyze systematic backgrounds that are relevant to the mission and discuss how they can be mitigated at the required levels. Some of these effects do not appear to have been considered previously in the context of atom interferometry, and we therefore expect that our analysis will be broadly relevant to atom interferometric precision measurements. Finally, we present a brief conceptual overview of shorter-baseline $({\lesssim100\,{\rm m}})$ atom interferometer configurations that could be deployed as proof-of-principle instruments on the International Space Station (AGIS-ISS) or an independent satellite. 相似文献

Small-angle X-ray scattering and rheological characterization of aqueous lignosulfonate solutions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Lignosulfonate is a colloidal polyelectrolyte widely used as a dispersant in various industrial applications and produced during chemical pulping of wood chips. Here we present a systematic small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and rheological study of fractionated lignosulfonate (mass weighted molar mass M w 18 000 g/mol) dissolved in water and 0.2 M NaCl. The concentration range varied from semidilute to concentrated regime. SAXS intensity of all solutions followed the Porod law at all concentrations, which is a clear indication of a compact shape of the lignosulfonate particle. In water, below 10 mass % lignosulfonate, the average interparticle distance obtained from SAXS patterns relates to concentration via a power law with exponent -0.28. Deviation of the power law exponent from ideal -0.33 and a linear decrease in volume fraction normalized Porod constant as a function of concentration are taken as indications of self-association of lignosulfonate. In saline solutions at high lignosulfonate mass fractions the average distance between lignosulfonate particles was longer and the average particle size was larger than those in aqueous solutions. The intrinsic viscosity in saline solution also was larger than that in aqueous solution. Lignosulfonate solutions showed Newtonian viscosity, except at very high concentrations. The variation of the relative zero-shear viscosity eta(0),r) with concentration was interpreted with the Krieger-Dougherty equation. An oblate spheroid shape with an axial ratio of 3.5 describes the average shape of the lignosulfonate particles in saline solutions based on SAXS intensities, the size distribution obtained using gel permeation chromatography, and rheological characterization. The largest dimension of the particles was about 8 nm. SAXS and rheology studies as a function of temperature reveal indications of temperature-dependent self-association. 相似文献

Distribution of counterions around lignosulfonate macromolecules in different polar solvent mixtures

Lignosulfonate is a colloidal polyelectrolyte that is obtained as a side product in sulfite pulping. In this work we wanted to study the noncovalent association of the colloids in different solvents, as well as to find out how the charged sulfonate groups are organized on the colloid surface. We studied sodium and rubidium lignosulfonate in water-methanol mixtures and in dimethyl formamide. The number average molecular weights of the Na- and Rb-lignosulfonate fractions were 7600 g/mol and 9100 g/mol, respectively, and the polydispersity index for both was 2. Anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS) was used for determining the distribution of counterions around the Rb-lignosulfonate macromolecules. The scattering curves were fitted with a model constructed from ellipsoids of revolution of different sizes. Counterions were taken into account by deriving an approximative formula for the scattering intensity of the Poisson-Boltzmann diffuse double layer model. The interaction term between the spheroidal particles was estimated using the local monodisperse approximation and the improved Hayter-Penfold structure factor given by the rescaled mean spherical approximation. Effective charge of the polyelectrolyte and the local dielectric constant of the solvent close to the globular polyelectrolyte were followed as a function of the methanol content in the solvent and lignosulfonate concentration. The lignosulfonate macromolecules were found to aggregate noncovalently in water-methanol mixtures with increasing methanol or lignosulfonate content in a specific directional manner. The flat macromolecule aggregates had a nearly constant thickness of 1-1.4 nm, while their diameter grew when counterion association onto the polyelectrolyte increased. These results indicate that the charged groups in lignosulfonate are mostly at the flat surfaces of the colloid, allowing the associated lignosulfonate complexes to grow further at the edges of the complex. 相似文献
