Optimal switching from recording to fixing for high diffraction from a LiNbO3:Ce:Cu photorefractive nonvolatile hologram

An oscillatory characteristic of diffraction is observed as a result of strong beam coupling in a weakly oxidized LiNbO3:Ce:Cu crystal during the recording step in the production of nonvolatile photorefractive holograms. On this basis the optimal switching time from the recording step to the fixing step for high diffraction of a fixed hologram is studied. It is shown that switching after the first diffraction maximum leads theoretically to fixed diffraction of as much as 100% with a suitable switching time. Both an experimental demonstration and a theoretical simulation are presented.     

Photoluminescence and optical absorption properties of polymer modified carbon nanotubes

Polymethyl methacrylate modified carbon nanotubes were prepared using γ radiation, and the modified carbon nanotubes exhibited strong luminescence (∼ ∼568 nm) at room temperature and an absorption peak at ∼ ∼247 nm can be observed in the polymer modified samples.     

Recent Development in the Synthesis of Natural Saponins and Their Derivatives

Naturally occurring saponins are attractive candidates or lead compounds for new drug design and development and thus have become important synthetic targets. This short account reviews the recent progress in the chemical synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of naturally occurring saponins and their derivatives.

Energy Estimate for the Type-Ⅱ Superconducting Film

We study the minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau model for variable thickness, superconducting, thin films with high k, placed in an applied magnetic field hex, when hex is of the order of the ＂first critical field＂, i.e. of the order of ｜lnε｜. We obtain the asymptotic estimates of minimal energy and describe the possible locations of the vortices.     

Determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters in Biodiesel Produced from Yellow Horn Oil by LC

A simple and accurate HPLC method with refractive index detection was developed to determine the main fatty acid methyl esters in biodiesel produced from yellow horn oil. Methyl linoleate, methyl linolenate, methyl arachidate, methyl stearate, methyl palmitate and methyl oleate were separated on a HIQ SIL C18W column using methanol as mobile phase. The method has good repeatability and precision, the intraday and interday RSD for both retention time and peak area was less than 3.2%. The LOD (S/N = 3) and LOQ (S/N = 9) were less than 0.004 and 0.015 mg mL⁻¹, respectively.     

Polyplatinayne/polyoxometalate composite Langmuir‐Blodgett films: Preparation,structural characterization,and potential optoelectronic applications

A new family of organometallic/inorganic composite Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) films consisting of rigid‐rod polyplatinayne polymer ([Pt‐T(OMe‐Fl)T]_∞ or [Pt‐T(F‐Fl)T]_∞, where the triplet bonds are abbreviated by T, and fluorene ring by Fl) as the π‐conjugated organometallic molecule, polyoxometalate (POM, POM = K₃PMo₁₂O₄₀, H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, or H₆P₂W₁₈O₆₂) of the Keggin and Dawson structures as the inorganic component, and dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DODA) or a mixture of octadecanoic acid (OA) and docosanoic acid (DA) as the auxiliary film‐forming agent were prepared and characterized by π–A isotherms, UV–Vis absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra, atomic force microscopy imaging, scanning tunneling microscopy, and low‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Our experimental results indicate that steady, even, and ordered Langmuir and LB films are formed in pure water and polyoxometalate subphases. It was shown that the POM molecules are probably embedded inside the polyplatinayne molecules in the LB film structure and they can quench the luminescence of the Pt polyyne. These Pt‐polyyne based LB films display interesting electric conductivity behavior. [Pt‐T(OMe‐Fl)T]_∞/DODA/HPW₁₂ monolayer film shows a good electrical conductivity, and the tunneling current amounts to ±100 nA when the voltage is set at ±8 V. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanism of N-octadecyl-N′-maleoyl-L-phenylalanine self-assembled into supramolecular structures

N-Octadecyl-N′-maleoyl-L-phenylalanine(ODMA-L-Phe)was synthesized through the condensation,deprotection and acid- ylation reaction of BOC-L-phenylalauine,octadecylamine and maleic anhydride,ODMA-L-Phe can self-assemble in some organic solvents and turned them into thermally reversible physical supramolecular organogels.The morphology of ODMA-L-Phe aggregates was characterized by polarized optical microscopy(POM)and field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM). The aggregates of ODMA-L-Phe were needle-like fibrils with diameters of approximately 100-200 nm.The mechanism of ODMA- L-Phe serf-assembly in organic solvents was investigated using ~1H NMR and circular dichroism(CD).The results indicated that hydrogen bonding was one of the main driving forces for the self-assembly of ODMA-L-Phe.

Spatially Controllable DNA Condensation by a Water‐Soluble Supramolecular Hybrid of Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes and β‐Cyclodextrin‐Tethered Ruthenium Complexes

A supramolecular hybrid is prepared by the supramolecular surface modification of single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with cationic β‐cyclodextrin‐tethered ruthenium complexes through a spacer molecule that contains both an adamantane and a pyrene moiety. By employing the supramolecular hybrid, spatially controllable DNA condensation along the SWCNT skeleton is achieved by anchoring cationic ruthenium complexes on the surface. Furthermore, because of the unique physiological properties of SWCNTs, the cationic supramolecular hybrid can be used as a nonviral gene delivery system with the ruthenium complexes as a fluorescent probe to monitor uptake of DNA by cells.
