消荧光现象与表面谐波产生

消荧光现象是激光与物质表面非线性相互作用的结果，这是一种普遍现象。在表面谐波产生的研究中，它常常被忽略。大量研究表明：表面谐波产生与消荧光现象，有着密切的内在联系。本文以消荧光观点详细讨论了表面谐波产生的机制，提出了表面谐波产生的消荧光模型。新机制可归纳为：（ａ）多光子受激吸收产生消荧光光斑，（ｂ）激光热效应等促进自发辐射转向准受激辐射，（ｃ）伴随荧光消失，部分产生荧光的激光能量转换为产生表面谐波

Analysis of the generation mechanism of the S-shaped J—V curves of MoS2/Si-based solar cells

Amorphous-microcrystalline MoS$_{2}$ thin films are fabricated using the sol-gel method to produce MoS$_{2}$/Si-based solar cells. The generation mechanisms of the S-shaped current density-voltage ($J$-$V$) curves of the solar cells are analyzed. To improve the performance of the solar cells and address the problem of the S-shaped $J$-$V$ curve, a MoS$_{2}$ film and a p$^+$ layer are introduced into the front and back interfaces of the solar cell, respectively, which leads to the formation of a p-n junction between the p-Si and the MoS$_{2}$ film as well as ohmic contacts between the MoS$_{2}$ film and the ITO, improving the S-shaped $J$-$V$ curve. As a result of the high doping characteristics and the high work function of the p$^+$ layer, a high-low junction is formed between the p$^+$ and p layers along with ohmic contacts between the p$^+$ layer and the Ag electrode. Consequently, the S-shaped $J$-$V$ curve is eliminated, and a significantly higher current density is achieved at a high voltage. The device exhibits ideal p-n junction rectification characteristics and achieves a high power-conversion efficiency (CE) of 7.55%. The findings of this study may improve the application of MoS$_{2}$ thin films in silicon-based solar cells, which are expected to be widely used in various silicon-based electronic and optical devices.

Investigation of the Oxidation of Serum Albumin by Iodine

In studies of metabolism using serum albumin labelled with iodine (I¹³¹ and I¹²⁵) the question of the biological equivalence of the labelled material is of decisive importance. Changes of the chemical and biological characteristic of various proteins after iodination have been found by a number of workers [1–4], especially with reference to chromatographic behaviour, rate of metabolism in the organism and content of thiol. Oxidation of sulphhydryl groups can lead to interchain disulphide bridge-linkage and the formation of molecule aggregates.     

Surface tension and viscosity measurements of liquids with the survismeter: a single instrumental unit

Surface tension (γ) and viscosity (η) data of aqueous solutions of the deoxyadenosine (DOA) and the deoxyribose (DOR) sugars have been measured with the survismeter, a new instrument, along with tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile and dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) solvents. The same properties have also been measured with a stalagmometer and a viscosimeter, respectively, which afford the same information, albeit at the expense of a larger amount of chemicals and solvents. We obtain comparatively better accuracy in both kinds of measurements than with conventional methods. Therefore, the survismeter lends itself as a simple and reliable instrument.     

Selective lighting up of segments around Gly,Ala and Ser/Thr in proteins

Direct detection of ¹³C nucleus can be used as a valuable alternative where ¹H detection poses a challenge due to relaxation effects, chemical exchange and poor chemical shift dispersion. In this context, we have designed a suite of 2D ¹³C^α‐detected hNCA experiments that provide sequential correlations of ¹³C^α with ¹⁵N on one hand and efficient spectroscopic labeling of certain groups of residues, namely, Gly, Ala, Ser and Thr, on the other. These residues act as checkpoints in the sequential walk, which in turn offer new possibilities of backbone assignment of small proteins from a set of 2D experiments, thereby providing great economy in terms of spectrometer time. The direct identification of peptide segments around Gly, Ala, Ser and Thr residues along a protein chain will be highly valuable for deriving important information on sites of ligand binding, phosphorylation, inhibitor/substrate binding, understanding protein folding pathways, comprehending local conformational dynamics etc. without having to obtain complete sequence‐specific assignments, which can be time consuming and at times formidable, especially in large proteins. We have illustratively demonstrated the multifaceted applications of these variants of 2D experiments on ubiquitin and M‐crystallin. We foresee that these 2D hNCA experiments will provide economic and efficient strategies for studying the structure and function of proteins. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
