采用高温固相反应法合成了一系列Dy~(3+)、Sm~(3+)单掺杂和共掺杂铝方柱石发光材料,详细地研究了Dy~(3+)、Sm~(3+)掺杂对铝方柱石的结构和发光性质的影响。XRD结果表明Dy~(3+)、Sm~(3+)离子单掺杂和共掺杂样品均形成了单相的铝方柱石结构化合物,并没有改变基质的晶体结构。发光光谱表明,通过调节Dy~(3+)、Sm~(3+)离子的掺杂比例,发光颜色可实现从黄色到黄白色的可控调节。此外,发射和激发光谱表明,Dy~(3+)与Sm~(3+)离子之间存在有效的光谱重叠,暗示着Dy~(3+)→Sm~(3+)的能量传递。荧光寿命衰减结果进一步证实Dy~(3+)与Sm~(3+)离子之间是一种无辐射共振能量传递方式。     

Atomic description of elementary surface processes: diffusion and dynamics

A large fraction of processes which are at the foundation of our technological society involve physical and chemical properties of surfaces. Catalytic reactions and semiconductor devices production are two of the most important ones.

This paper describes a sample of some of the most relevant surface science experiments which have been recently performed, in order to understand elementary surface processes of model catalytic reactions and in semiconductor technology at the atomic level. The focus is on experiments performed with scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy which have represented, in some cases, real breakthroughs in our understanding of these phenomena.

We then present an overview of possible experimental technique developments that can be foreseen for the future and that may give us a more in-depth understanding of the elementary processes which form the basis of important complex surface phenomena. Finally, some of the challenging tasks that lie ahead for surface scientists and the collateral opportunities are discussed.     

The surface science of enzymes

One of the largest challenges to science in the coming years is to find the relation between enzyme structure and function. Can we predict which reactions an enzyme catalyzes from knowledge of its structure—or from its amino acid sequence? Can we use that knowledge to modify enzyme function? To solve these problems we must understand in some detail how enzymes interact with reactants from its surroundings. These interactions take place at the surface of the enzyme and the question of enzyme function can be viewed as the surface science of enzymes. In this article we discuss how to describe catalysis by enzymes, and in particular the analogies between enzyme catalyzed reactions and surface catalyzed reactions. We do this by discussing two concrete examples of reactions catalyzed both in nature (by enzymes) and in industrial reactors (by inorganic materials), and show that although analogies exist and the two kinds of catalyst can be described by similar tools, nature and human effort have come up with different solutions. This on the other hand implies that new and improved catalysts may be made by learning from nature.     

Cosmic dust and our origins

The small solid particles in the space between the stars provide the surfaces for the production of many simple and complex molecules. Processes involving the effects of ultraviolet irradiation of the thin (hundredth micron) mantles are shown to produce a wide range of molecules and ions also seen in comets. Some of the more complex ones inferred from laboratory experiments are expected to play an important role in the origin of life. An outline of the chemical evolution of interstellar dust as observed and as studied in the laboratory is presented. Observations of comets are shown to provide substantial evidence for their being fluffy aggregates of interstellar dust as it was in the protosolar nebula, i.e. the interstellar cloud which collapsed to form the solar system. The theory that comets may have brought the progenitors of life to the earth is summarized.

Colorimetric and Spectrofluorimetric Methods for the Determination of Melatonin in Tablets and Serum

Abstract

Two sensitive and accurate colorimetric and spectrofluonmetric methods, are presented for the determination of melatonin in tablets and serum. The first method utilizes the reactions of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in hydrochloric acid (van Urk reagent)-ferric chloride in sulphuric acid (Salkowski reagent) mixture. The blue color of the resulting reaction product is measured at 630 nm. The second method is based on the reaction of melatonin with o-phthalaldehyde in acid medium which yields highly fluorescent condensation product that is measured at 465 nm as emission wavelength, using excitation wavelength at 355 nm. No interference was observed from tableting additives, and the applicability of the methods was examined by analysing tablets containing melatonin (single and combined with pyridoxine). Mean percentage recoveries from tablets were found to be 99.9+0.31 for single and 100.5+0.15 for combined tablets using colorimetric method, while by applying spectrofluorimetric method the recoveries were found to be 100.610.41 for single and 100.2+0.39 for combined tablets. Furthermore, the proposed methods were extended to the in-vitro determination of melatonin in serum. The detection limits are 0.27 ug ml^?1 for colorimetric method and 0.00035 ug ml^?1 for spectrofluorimetric method.     

The study of transition on NiFe2O4 nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation/calcination

In this study, the NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles have been prepared by co-precipitation and calcination process. Using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer of X-ray (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the samples obtained by co-precipitation and then by further calcination have been analyzed. The experimental results show that the precursor synthesized by co-precipitation is the composite of both amorphous FeOOH and Ni(OH)₂, but has no amorphous NiFe₂O₄. The results of both EDX and XPS revealed that the FeOOH species is wrapped up by Ni(OH)₂ species. In the calcination process, the amorphous composite is dehydrated and transformed gradually into crystalline NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles, with the metal ions diffusing. The reaction is different from the one used to prepare other ferrite (e.g., CoFe₂O₄, MnFe₂O₄, Fe₃O₄, etc.) nanoparticles directly by co-precipitation. With increasing calcination temperature, the NiFe₂O₄ grains grow and the magnetization is enhanced.     

重离子熔合反应与双核模型

简单介绍了兰州-北京-吉森合作组对合成超重核的重离子反应进行的初步研究。研究的重点是熔合阶段的反应机制。在原有双核模型的基础上做了一些改进,把耗散相对运动过程与核子转移过程耦合起来,从更微观的角度来描写双核系统向全熔合复合核的演化。在双核过程中的每一步求解主方程,不对驱动势做谐振子近似。同时,还探讨了原子核形变与相对取向对驱动势的影响,存活几率与复合核蒸发中子的奇偶效应,以及入射道中原子核非弹性激发对俘获截面的影响等。In recent years, the Lanzou-Beijing-Giessen collaboration has studied the heavy ion reactions which are lead to the formation of super-heavy nuclei. The study emphases the mechanism of the fusion stage of the reactions. Based on the so called Di-nuclear System Model, some improvements have been made. The main points are the coupling of the dissipation of relative motion energy, angular momentum with nucleon transfer, and solving the Master equation in every step of the nucleon transfer with exact driving potentials, in order to describe the evolution of the system more microscopically. At the same time, we also discussed the effects of nuclear deformation and their relative orientation on the driving potentials, and studied the survive probability of the compound nuclei and its old-even effects, as well as the influence of inelastic excitations of nuclei in entrance channels to the capture cross sections.     

Characterization and chemical behavior of submonolayer coverages of titania on a Pt foil

The interaction between submonolayer titania coverages and Pt foil has been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). The submonolayer titania can be fully oxidized to TiO₂ at 923 K under 10⁻⁸ Torr O₂, and partially oxidized to TiO_x at lower oxidation temperatures. The oxidized surface can be reduced by annealing to 1000 K or higher, or by heating in H₂ at 823 K, or by interacting with surface carbon formed from acetone decomposition. Under certain conditions (e.g., hydrogen reduction at 923 K), the surface titania can be fully reduced to metallic Ti which diffuses into bulk Pt readily. The reduced metallic Ti can resurface when the surface is oxidized at 923 K. Both XPS and HREELS data indicate the existence of subsurface oxygen, which plays an important role for the diffusion of Ti into and out of the Pt foil. Although no special interfacial active sites were revealed by HREELS studies of adsorbed acetone and CO, some TPD and XPS data suggest the presence of sites active for acetone decomposition.     

Adatom concentration on GaAs(001) during MBE annealing

We study the concentration of adatoms on GaAs(001) during annealing under MBE conditions. By rapidly cooling the sample from typical growth temperatures and typical As overpressures, the thermal concentration of adatoms can be frozen into small islands on the terraces. The area of the resulting islands is measured with STM far from terrace steps, giving an estimate of the concentration of adatoms during equilibrium. We find that a surprisingly large concentration of adatoms is present for typical growth temperatures, e.g. 0.18 monolayer at 600°C. Possible consequences for current growth models are discussed.
