Asymmetric diffusion through synthetic nanopores

We show that diffusion currents for a membrane containing a single conical nanopore with a fixed surface charge and small enough opening diameter depend on the concentration gradient direction. We interpret the results based on the effect of salt concentration on the thickness of the electrical double layer within the nanopore associated with the nanopore's surface charge and the distribution of electric fields inside the pore. The experimental observations are described by a diffusional model based on the Smoluchowski-Nernst-Planck equation.     

Fabrication of a synthetic nanopore ion pump

We present a synthetic nanodevice, which transports potassium ions against their concentration gradient if stimulated with external field fluctuations. It consists of a single, conical pore, created in a thin polyethylene terephthalate film. The pumping mechanism is similar to one of longitudinally oscillating deterministic ratchets.     

Photoluminescence of tetragonal ZrO(2) nanoparticles synthesized by microwave irradiation

Polymer-stabilized tetragonal ZrO(2) nanopowders with average size of ca. 2.0 nm have been prepared by microwave heating in an aqueous solution containing Zr(NO(3))(4) x 5H(2)O, PVA, and NaOH. The photoluminescence of the synthesized ZrO(2) fine particles has been investigated.     

斜波压缩下锡的相变动力学特性

利用磁驱动加载装置(CQ-4)和高精度速度测试装置(DPV),开展了斜波加载下锡的动态压缩实验。实验结果表明:锡在加载阶段经历了弹塑性转变和相变等物理过程,相变压力约为7.5 GPa。β–γ相变对应的特征速度随着锡厚度的增加,从676.3 m/s减小到636.8 m/s,对应的压力从7.62 GPa降低到7.11 GPa。结合Hayes多相状态方程和非平衡相变动力学模型,对锡的斜波压缩实验过程进行了模拟,数值计算结果可以较好地描述锡在加载阶段的弹塑性转变和相变等物理过程。讨论了体模量在不同热力学过程中的物理形式,计算结果显示,斜波压缩过程需考虑压力对体模量的修正。分析了相变弛豫时间、体模量等典型物理参数对速度波形的影响,结果表明,相变弛豫时间和各相初始自由能主要影响混合区部分速度波形,γ相的体模量参数只影响相变后的速度波形,β相的体模量参数会影响整体速度波形。     

Non-symmetric liquid crystal dimers based on 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives: synthesis,photoluminescence and liquid crystal behaviour

A series of non-symmetric liquid crystal compounds consisting of two different semi-rigid anisometric cores, namely 1,3,4-oxidiazole and biphenyl units, and two short terminal groups, have been synthesised in good yield. It has been shown by polarising optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry that all these compounds display liquid crystalline behaviour, with nematic and/or smectic A mesophases. The nature of the mesophases is dependent on the electronic properties of the terminal groups. In methylene chloride solution all the compounds displayed a room temperature emission with λ_max at 358–396 nm and quantum yields of 0.29–0.56. The effect of the terminal groups on the mesomorphic and photoluminescent properties is briefly discussed in the context of their electronic characteristics.     

Three-Component Reaction of β-Ketosulfone,Formaldehyde, and Thiol or Thiophenol in Water

Abstract

A three-component reaction of β-ketosulfone, formaldehyde, and thiol or thiophenol was developed. The reaction was performed in pure water under a catalyst-free condition, and the corresponding Mannich-type thioethers were obtained in good to excellent yields. Finally, a one-pot stepwise four-component reaction of sodium benzenesulfinate, α-bromoketone, β-ketosulfone, and thiophenol was also developed.

200 nm-1000 nm spectra of light emitted in the impact of ~(40)Ar~(10+) upon Al and Si solid surfaces

This paper reports the measured results of the 200 nm-1000 nm characteristic spectral lines of Al, Si and Ar atoms when highly charged ions 40Ar10+ are incident upon Al and P-type Si surfaces. The ion 40Ar10+ is provided by the ECR ion source of the National Laboratory of the Heavy Ion Accelerator in Lanzhou. The results show that when the low-speed ions in the highly charged state interact with the solid surfaces, the characteristic spectral lines of the target atoms and ions spurted from the surfaces can be effectively excited. Moreover, because of the competition of the non-radiation de-excitation of the hollow atom by emitting secondary electrons with the de-excitation process by radiating photons, the spectral intensity of the characteristic spectral lines of Ar atoms on the P-type Si surface is, as a whole, greater than that of Ar atoms on the Al surface.
