Transport in a realistic magnetic field modulated nanostructure with the δ-doping

We theoretically investigate electron transport properties in a nanostructure modulated by the realistic magnetic field and the δ-doping. We find that the electron transport properties are strongly dependent on the weight and the position of the δ-doping. These interesting finds may be very helpful for designing the δ-doping-tunable spintronic devices.     

Improved Synthesis of Cyclic α-Hydrazino Acids of Five- to Nine-Membered Rings and Optical Resolution of 5,6,7-Membered Ring Hydrazino Acids

Synthesis of cyclic α-hydrazino acids of five- to nine-membered rings has been described. Di-tert-butyl or dibenzyl malonate was used as starting materials instead of diethyl malonate, which was used in our first report. Deprotection of tert-butyl or benzyl ester of the final compounds was much easier than that of ethyl or methyl esters. Overall yield of these acids were 39, 50, 47, 52, and 51%, respectively. These acids were then converted to the diastereomers either via the formation of peptides with L-phenylalanine methyl ester or via the formation of esters (for five- to seven-membered rings) with L-2-phenylalaninol. All diastereomers were separated except the nine-membered ring by flash chromatography. Hydrolysis of diastereomeric esters generated the optically pure five-, six- and seven-membered cyclic α-hydrazino acids. In this process, both the enantiomers have been isolated and the chiral auxiliary L-2-phenylalaninol was recovered. Absolute stereochemistry was determined from x-ray crystallographic analysis.

Kinetics of Synthesis of Ba1.0Co0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3-δ through Solid-Solid Reaction

The mechanism of solid-solid reaction between BaCO₃ and Co₃O₄/Fe₂O₃/Nb₂O₅ has been investigated by means of non-isothermal thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under flowing air gas conditions at atmospheric pressure with a new solid-solid reaction model. The effects of high speed agitating mixing and ball-milling mixing processes on the synthesis kinetics were also studied. The synthesis kinetics of Ba_1.0Co_0.7Fe_0.2Nb_0.1O_3-δ from the BaCO₃ and Co₃O₄/Fe₂O₃/Nb₂O₅ particles was calculated by applying the modified model. The results indicated that the overall reaction process was considered involving two stages: addition reaction between BaCO₃ and Co₃O₄/Fe₂O₃/Nb₂O₅ particles in the first stage and solution reaction between BaCoO₃, BaFeO₃, and BaNbO₃ to form a homogeneous Ba_1.0Co_0.7Fe_0.2Nb_0.1O_3-δ phase in the second stage. The new model matched well with the experimental data. The apparent activation energy of addition reaction stage of the high speed agitating mixing sample was estimated to be 376.76 kJ·mol⁻¹, which was only 3/4 of that of the ball-milling mixing sample (494.76 kJ·mol⁻¹). These results indicated that the high-speed agitating process could enhance atomic diffusion and facilitate the subsequent reaction, thus it is believed as a more effective, energy saving, and environmentally benign mixing process.

高氧压合成产物La2CuO4+δ的相变研究

 本文采用超高氧压2.3 GPa合成方法，得到超导相含量大于30%的超导化合物La₂CuO_4+δ所采用的压力是目前所见报导中对La₂CuO₄化合物施加的最高氧压。湿化学方法测量给出过量氧含量δ=0.05±0.01，而TGA（氮气中）给出δ=0.143。高氧压合成产物经在空气中、不同温度下加热，然后淬火到室温，结果发现超导体在200~300 ℃的加热处理中存在着一个一级相变。经此相变后，超导体转变成反铁磁半导体。TGA及DSC证实了此相变的存在。该相变前后所联系的氧含量变化恰好为湿化学方法给出的结果，这部分与超导电性存在联系的过量氧，实际上引起了Cu²⁺向Cu^(2+2δ)+的转变。该结果强有力地排除了所谓“超氧化物”引起超导电性的可能性。

The Impact of Grape Varieties to Wine Isotopic Characterization

This paper highlights the results of a study regarding the impact of geo-climatic conditions, the influence of grape varieties, and harvest year on the isotopic characterization of a wine from a specific vineyard area, using stable isotope ratio analysis by continuous flow mass spectrometry CF-IRMS. This analytical technique has made a significant contribution on wine characterization, by proving the botanical and geographical origin of the wine raw material.

A great variability was observed to sap ¹⁸O and ²H isotopic ratios for different types of vine (Vitis vinifera plant) from the studied area, Dealu Mare-Valea Calugareasca, reflecting the significant influence of variety on isotopic features. On the other hand, the comparison of stable isotopic fingerprints for rainfall water and sap revealed a close approximation value for ¹⁸O isotopic ratio, and an insignificant variation coefficient of ¹³C isotopic ratio in wine varieties (about 2.85%).

The results of isotopic characterization for grape vine sap and original wines for different varieties existing in Dealu Mare-Valea Calugareasca vineyard indicates the relevance of meteorological and viticulture parameters like precipitation, date of vintage, and grape cultivar for wine authentication process.     

Amperometric Multienzyme Sensor for Determination of D-Glucono-δ-Lactone

Abstract

An amperometric enzyme sensor for the determination of gluconolactone in glucose-containing samples has been developed. The interfering glucose is eliminated by an outer anti-interference layer containing hexokinase, whilst the gluconolactone reaches a glucose de-hydrogenase-glucose oxidase layer, where it is converted into glucose (by glucose dehydrogenase) and then transformed by glucose oxidase, the associated oxygen consumption can be measured at the electrode. Gluconolactone is determined over the concentration range, 0.02–1 mmo1/1, with a toleration of glucose concentration up to 2 mmo1/1.     

Baseline isotopic data of polyhalogenated compounds

The δ²H- and δ¹³C-values of polyhalogenated compounds were determined by EA-IRMS. Most of the compounds were related to the chloropesticides DDT and its metabolites, hexachlorocyclohexanes, and toxaphene, as well as several polybrominated compounds such as bromophenols and -anisoles. δ²H-values ranged between −235‰ and +75‰ whereas δ¹³C-values were found in the range −22‰ to −38‰. No correlation between δ²H- and δ¹³C-values could be identified. Comparative analysis clarified that bromophenols and the corresponding bromoanisoles may vary in their isotopic distribution. ²H NMR was used to quantify abundances of ²H isotopomers. Quantification of isotopomers of 2,4-dibromophenol and 2,4-dibromoanisole proved that both compounds from different suppliers do not originate from the same source. Differences in the δ²H-values of two toxaphene products were further investigated by the synthesis of products of different degree of chlorination from camphene. It was shown that the δ¹³C-values remained mostly unaltered as was expected since no carbon is lost in this procedure. However, the reaction products became enriched in ²H with increasing degree of chlorination. Different δ²H-values of the starting material will also impact the δ²H-values of the chlorination products.
