Effect of magnetic field on electron spectrum and probabilities of intraband quantum transitions in spherical quantum-dot-quantum-well

The effect of magnetic field on electron energy spectrum, wave functions and probabilities of intraband quantum transitions in multilayered spherical quantum-dot-quantum-well (QDQW) CdSe/ZnS/CdSe/ZnS is studied. Computations are performed in the framework of the effective mass approximation and rectangular potential barriers model. The wave functions are expanded over the complete basis of functions obtained as exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation for the electron in QDQW without the magnetic field.It is shown that magnetic field takes off the spectrum degeneration with respect to the magnetic quantum number and changes the localization of electron in the nanostructure. The field stronger effects on the spherically-symmetric states, especially in the case of electron location in the outer potential well. The magnetic field changes more the radial distribution of probability of electron location in QDQW than the angular one. The oscillator strengths of intraband quantum transitions are calculated as functions of the magnetic field induction and their selection rules are established.

Influence of (phospho)lipases on properties of mica supported phospholipid layers

The effect of enzymes: lipase from Candida cylindracea (L_Cc), phospholipase A₂ from hog pancreas (PLA₂) and phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus (PLC) to modulate wetting properties of solid supported phospholipid bilayers was studied via advancing and receding contact angle measurements of water, formamide and diiodomethane, and calculation of the surface free energy and its components from van Oss et al. (LWAB) and contact angle hysteresis (CAH) approaches. Simultaneously, topography of the studied layers was determined by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The investigated lipid bilayers were transferred on mica plates from subphase of pure water by means of Langmuir-Blodgett and Langmuir-Schaefer techniques. The investigated phospolipid layers were: saturated DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), unsaturated DOPC (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), and their mixture DPPC/DOPC. The obtained results revealed that the lipid membrane degradation by the enzymes caused increase in its surface free energy due to the amphiphilic hydrolysis products, which may accumulate in the lipid bilayer. In result activity of the enzymes may increase and then break down the bilayer structure takes place. It is likely that after dissolution of the hydrolysis reaction products in the bulk phase, patches of bare mica surface are accessible, which contribute to the apparent surface free energy changes. Comparison of AFM images and the free energy changes of the layers gives better insight into changes of their properties. The observed gradual increase in the layer surface free energy allows controlling of the hydrolysis process to obtain the surfaces of defined properties.     

Self-assembled structures of alkanethiols on gold-coated cantilever tips and substrates for atomic force microscopy: Molecular organisation and conditions for reproducible deposition

Measurements of surface-liquid interactions (contact-angle goniometry) and tip-surface adhesion forces (atomic force microscopy) combined with infrared spectroscopic studies have been used to investigate surface-preparation and solution-deposition conditions for the reproducible formation of self-assembled molecular structures on gold-coated tips and substrates for atomic force microscopy. Preliminary data show that surface-saturated self-assembled monolayers form reproducibly on prolonged (>20 h) exposure of gold-coated glass substrates to ethanolic solutions of ω-functionalised alkanethiols in the concentration range 80-160 mmol dm⁻³. The data also show that exposure for 16 h to alkanethiol concentrations in the range 160-240 mmol dm⁻³ promote bilayer formation whereas concentrations of 240-320 mmol dm⁻³ result in the deposition of multilayers, the average orientation of which is parallel to that of the first molecular layer; the use of parent 1-undecanethiol solutions at concentrations of 1-80 mmol dm⁻³ results in incomplete monolayer coverage.     

Two- and three-dimensional restricted geometry case of luminescence quenching

Diffuse ultra-high energy neutrino fluxes and physics beyond the Standard Model

We study spectral distortions of diffuse ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino flavour fluxes resulting due to physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Even large spectral differences between flavours at the source are massaged into a common shape at earth by SM oscillations, thus, any significant observed spectral differences are an indicator of new physics present in the oscillation probability during propagation. Lorentz symmetry violation (LV) and neutrino decay are examples, and result in significant distortion of the fluxes and of the well-known bounds on them, which may allow UHE detectors to probe LV parameters, lifetimes and the mass hierarchy over a broad range.     

In气氛下晶体生长对Mg掺杂p-Al_xGa_(1-x)N激活能的影响

Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物宽禁带半导体材料体系中,普通方法生长的p型外延层电导率一般都很低,成为了制约器件性能提高的瓶颈。在p-AlxGa1-xN材料中,Mg受主的激活能较大,并且随Al组份增加而增大。通过在p-AlxGa1-xN材料生长过程中引入三甲基铟(TMIn),发现能有效地降低AlxGa1-xN材料中受主态的激活能。为研究不同In气氛下生长的p-AlxGa1-xN材料的性质,在使用相同二茂基镁(CP2Mg)的情况下,改变TMIn流量,生长了A,B,C和D四块样品。X射线衍射(XRD)组份分析表明:在1100℃下生长AlxGa1-xN外延层时,In的引入不会影响晶体组份。利用变温霍尔(Hall)测试研究了p-AlxGa1-xN材料中受主的激活能,结果表明:In气氛下生长的外延层相比无In气氛下生长的外延层,受主激活能明显降低,电导率显著提高。采用这种方法改进深紫外发光二极管(LED)的p-AlxGa1-xN层后,LED器件性能明显提高。     

白光LED用Ca_8Mg(SiO_4)_4Cl_2:Eu~(2+),Dy~(3+)发光粉的发光性能

采用高温固相法合成了白光LED用Ca8Mg(SiO4)4Cl2:Eu和Ca8Mg(SiO4)4Cl2:Eu,Dy绿色发光粉。研究发现:共掺Dy可以明显地提高Ca8Mg(SiO4)4Cl2:Eu发光粉的发光性能,表明Dy3+和Eu2+之间存在着能量传递过程。当Dy3+的最佳掺杂摩尔分数为0.02时,发光粉505nm处绿光发射的强度约提高12%。通过对Dy3+和Eu2+光谱特性的分析,Dy3+和Eu2+之间的能量传递机制可归因于无辐射交叉弛豫。
