Measuring Fractional Charge in Carbon Nanotubes

The Luttinger model of the one-dimensional Fermi gas is the cornerstone of modern understanding of interacting electrons in one dimension. In fact, the enormous class of systems whose universal behavior is adiabatically connected to it are now deemed Luttinger liquids. Recently, it has been shown that metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are almost perfectly described by the Luttinger Hamiltonian. Indeed, strongly non-Fermi liquid behavior has been observed in a variety of DC transport experiments, in very good agreement with theoretical predictions. Here, we describe how fractional quasiparticle charge, a fundamental property of Luttinger liquids, can be observed in impurity-induced shot noise.     

Sources of electrochemical noise in corroding systems

The electrochemical noise method is reasonably well established as a technique that can estimate corrosion rate through the electrochemical noise resistance or impedance. A more interesting potential application is the identification of the nature of the corrosion process. In this paper, a number of corrosion types are examined, and it is concluded that the majority constitute a form of shot noise, possibly with a superimposed baseline current. Methods by which parameters describing the shot noise process can be estimated from the measured data are presented. It appears to be feasible to extract the charge in the shot noise events, and their frequency, providing all of the anodic or cathodic current, is associated with these events. However, the analysis requires a number of assumptions that are not always valid, and these are discussed. Finally, some alternative methods that have been used to identify the type of corrosion are briefly discussed. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2006, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 557–566.

Membrane‐Anchoring Photosensitizer with Aggregation‐Induced Emission Characteristics for Combating Multidrug‐Resistant Bacteria

Traditional photosensitizers (PSs) show reduced singlet oxygen (¹O₂) production and quenched fluorescence upon aggregation in aqueous media, which greatly affect their efficiency in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Meanwhile, non‐targeting PSs generally yield low efficiency in antibacterial performance due to their short lifetimes and small effective working radii. Herein, a water‐dispersible membrane anchor (TBD‐anchor) PS with aggregation‐induced emission is designed and synthesized to generate ¹O₂ on the bacterial membrane. TBD‐anchor showed efficient antibacterial performance towards both Gram‐negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram‐positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). Over 99.8 % killing efficiency was obtained for methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA) when they were exposed to 0.8 μm of TBD‐anchor at a low white light dose (25 mW cm^?2) for 10 minutes. TBD‐anchor thus shows great promise as an effective antimicrobial agent to combat the menace of multidrug‐resistant bacteria.     

A Fourier transform Raman spectrometer with visible laser excitation

We present the development and performance of a Fourier transformation (FT)‐based Raman spectrometer working with visible laser (532 nm) excitation. It is generally thought that FT‐Raman spectrometers are not viable in the visible range where shot noise limits the detector performance and therein they are outperformed by grating based, dispersive ones. We show that contrary to this common belief, the recent advances of high‐performance interference filters makes the FT‐Raman design a valid alternative to dispersive Raman spectrometers for samples which do not luminesce. We critically compare the performance of our spectrometer to two dispersive ones: a home‐built single channel and a state‐of‐the‐art charge coupled device‐based instruments. We demonstrate a similar or even better sensitivity than the charge coupled device‐based dispersive spectrometer particularly when the laser power density is considered. The instrument possesses all the known advantages of the FT principle of spectral accuracy, high throughput, and economic design. We also discuss the general considerations, which helps the community reassess the utility of the different Raman spectrometer designs. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Residual stress distribution on surface-treated Ti-6Al-4V by X-ray diffraction

The x-ray diffraction technique has been used to measure surface residual stress in Ti-6Al-4V samples subjected to shot peening (SP), laser shock peening (LSP) and low plasticity burnishing (LPB). The magnitude, spatial and directional dependence and uniformity of the surface residual stresses have been investigated. The results show that residual stresses due to SP are uniform and independent of direction. LSP has been observed to produce non-uniform residual stress varying from one region to another, and also within a single laser shock. In the case of LPB, residual stresses have uniform spatial distribution but have been observed to be direction-dependent. Various components of the residual stress tensor in the LPB sample have been determined following the Dolle-Hauk method. The results of the residual stress due to three surface treatments are compared, and possible reasons for spatial and directional dependence are discussed.     

枪械射击残留物分布密度的分形研究

为了推测发射枪械类别、弹种、枪械射击距离,利用X光摄影记录六种枪械发射子弹射击残留物的金属微粒密度与射击距离之间的关系,关系曲线表明二者是非线性的且具有分形特征;应用分形理论和线性回归原理,对射击残留物中的金属微粒分布密度进行计算和分析。结果表明,同种子弹由不同种枪发射时,其分形维数相应不同但相差较少;而不同种子弹由不同种枪发射时,其分形维数不同且相差较大。因此分形维数可以用来描述枪械发射子弹时射击残留物中的金属微粒密度分布情况。
