神奇的生物酶——旋转分子马达

 生命是美丽的,美丽因生命而存在,生命因美丽而永恒。生命科学以其特有的魅力吸引人们参与到对它的研究中来,研究生命科学、向生命学习将是本世纪生命科学研究的特色。众所周知,ATP(三磷酸腺苷)作为生物体内的能量货币,其合成作用是生物世界中最普遍的化学反应,其水解反应所释放的能量为系统提供了驱动力,使得分子马达沿着轨道做定向运动。到目前为止,人类制造的任何一部宏观机器都无法同分子马达运动的连续性、高效性以及运动中各个部分所表现出的协调性相比。     

非接触性摩擦

 接触性摩擦是一个物体表面上的原子“突起”滑过另一个物体表面的原子“凹陷”产生的。康奈尔大学的赛佩·库恩(SeppeKuehn)和同事,利用0.25毫米长、几千个原子厚的单晶微悬臂梁,观测相距1纳米的两表面间的非接触性摩擦。使悬臂梁与一个表面垂直,并使其向下做如同钟摆一样的运动,在这样的运动状态下调整悬臂梁,悬臂梁将因感应到下方表面的摩擦而慢下来。令人吃惊的是,非接触性摩擦力依赖于样本的化学性质。通过研究不同聚合材料的化学依赖性,这几位研究者直接检测了因样本中分子运动导致弱电场波动而产生的摩擦。     

Studies of Spectroscopic Ellipsometry in Cd1-xMnxTe/CdTe Superlattices

Cd1-xMnxTe/CdTe superlattices and thin films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs （001） substrates. Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements were performed on Cd1-x Mnx Te/ CdTe superlattices with compositions x = 0.4, 0.8, and Cd1-xMnx Te thin films with x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 at room temperature in the photon energy range 1.4-5 eV. In superlattices the pseudodielectric functions measured by ellipsometry show specific features related to the exciton transition between quantized interbands. The exciton transitions related to the heavy holes of 11 H, 22H, and 33H are observed and identified. In thin films spectroscopic ellipsometry allows the clear identification of the energy gap Eo. Additionally, critical point transitions are observable in both the spectra of the superlattices and films. Photoreflectance spectra were also performed at room temperature in order to compare with our ellipsometry results. After taking into account the strain-induced and quantum confinement effects, the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with our experimental spectra. Ellipsometry appears to be a suited technique to monitor the MBE growth, ultimately also in situ, of diluted magnetic low-dimensional systems.     

PDT光敏剂HA在不同液相体系下的光谱特性研究

为了对候选光敏剂竹红菌甲素(HA)进行改性并保持其优异的敏化特性,对HA的光谱特性和激发态性质作了进一步的指认。系统研究了HA在不同液相体系下的吸收和荧光光谱,对指认HA的光谱和电子跃迁的机制提出了新的依据,结果表明,吸收带I产生于π-π*跃迁,吸收带Ⅱ和Ⅲ产生于P-π共轭所导致的L→aπ跃迁的电子振动结构;荧光发射带I和Ⅱ是产生于同一跃迁机制S1(L,aπ)→S0的正常荧光的振动结构。

用分子轨道从头算方法,对CH自由基的基态(X2Π)和低激发态(a4Σ-)的光谱数据进行了计算.计算结果表明,在基态CH(X2Π)时,在QCISD(T)/6-311G (3df,3pd)水平上,计算所得的键长R=0.1120981nm,偶极矩μ＝1.5891 Debye,ν＝2845.43cm-1均与实验值相吻合,在B3PW91/6-311G (3df,3pd)理论水平上,计算的基态能量为-38.496143 Hartree,误差仅为0.22%;对低激发态CH(a4Σ-),使用含时的密度泛函方法(TDDFT)和大基组6-311 G(3df,3pd)计算所得的R=0.1094nm,垂直跃迁能量为0.926eV,均与实验结果有较好的吻合.     

Thermal Rate Constants of the N（^4S）＋O2（X^3∑g^-） → NO（X^2Ⅱ） ＋O（^3P） Reaction on the ^2A′ Potential Energy Surface

A quasiclassical trajectory study with the sixth-order explicit symplectic algorithm for the N（^4S）＋O2（X^3∑g^-） → NO（X^2Ⅱ） ＋O（^3P） reaction has been reported by employing a new ground potential energy surface. We have discussed the influence of the relative translational energy, the vibrational and rotational levels of O2 molecules on the total reaction cross section. Thermal rate constants at temperatures 300, 600, and 1000 K determined in this work for the reaction are 4.4 × 10^7, 1.8 × 10^10, and 3.1 × 10^11 cm^3mol^-1s^-1, respectively. It is found that they are in better agreement with the experimental data than previous theoretical values.     

Dynamic Mechanism of Sustainable Molecular Orientation Generated From Cyclic Rotational States

Recently, two papers presented by Ortigoso et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 （2004） 073001 and Phys. Rev. A 72 （2005） 053401] develop a novel strategy in which the best sustainable molecular alignment/orientation has been achieved. We intend to analyse the dynamic mechanisms, including those Ortigoso et al. have not clarified.     

Four-State Model for Three-Branch Molecule＇s Two-Photon Absorption Properties

We present a four-state model for calculating the two-photon absorption of multi-branched molecules by using the time-depended function method, The numerical results indicate that the two-photon absorption cross section has a strong enhancement for three-branch molecules compared to two-branch structures, The maximal two-photon-absorption cross section is 2.358 × 10^-47 cm^4s/photon, At the same time, the charge-transfer process for the charge-transfer states is visualized in order to explain mechanism about the maximal TPA cross section.     

Effects of Relative Orientation of Molecules on Electron Transport in Molecular Devices

Effects of relative orientation of the molecules on electron transport in molecular devices are studied by the non-equilibrium Green function method based on density functional theory. In particular, two molecular devices with planar Au7 and Ag3 clusters sandwiched between the Al（100） electrodes axe studied. In each device, two typical configurations with the clusters parallel and vertical to the electrodes are considered. It is found that the relative orientation affects the transport properties of these two devices completely differently. In the Al（100）- Au7-Al（100） device, the conductance and the current of the parallel configuration are much larger than those in the vertical configuration, while in the Al（100）-Ag3-Al（100） device, an opposite conclusion is obtained.
