Na+ Selective Fluorescent Tools Based on Fluorescence Intensity Enhancements,Lifetime Changes,and on a Ratiometric Response

Over the years, we developed highly selective fluorescent probes for K⁺ in water, which show K⁺-induced fluorescence intensity enhancements, lifetime changes, or a ratiometric behavior at two emission wavelengths (cf. Scheme 1, K1 – K4 ). In this paper, we introduce selective fluorescent probes for Na⁺ in water, which also show Na⁺ induced signal changes, which are analyzed by diverse fluorescence techniques. Initially, we synthesized the fluorescent probes 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 and 10 for a fluorescence analysis by intensity enhancements at one wavelength by varying the Na⁺ responsive ionophore unit and the fluorophore moiety to adjust different K_d values for an intra- or extracellular Na⁺ analysis. Thus, we found that 2 , 4 and 5 are Na⁺ selective fluorescent tools, which are able to measure physiologically important Na⁺ levels at wavelengths higher than 500 nm. Secondly, we developed the fluorescent probes 7 and 8 to analyze precise Na⁺ levels by fluorescence lifetime changes. Herein, only 8 (K_d=106 mm ) is a capable fluorescent tool to measure Na⁺ levels in blood samples by lifetime changes. Finally, the fluorescent probe 9 was designed to show a Na⁺ induced ratiometric fluorescence behavior at two emission wavelengths. As desired, 9 (K_d=78 mm ) showed a ratiometric fluorescence response towards Na⁺ ions and is a suitable tool to measure physiologically relevant Na⁺ levels by the intensity change of two emission wavelengths at 404 nm and 492 nm.     

Influence of ambient atmosphere on charge transport in polycrystalline thin films of three simple aromatic hydrocarbons

Drift mobility of charge carriers in p-terphenyl, p-quaterphenyl and tetracene polycrystalline thin films was measured using the classical time-of-flight method. The measurements were carried out both in the atmosphere and in vacuum of the order of 10 ^{- 3} Torr. The mobility measured in the atmosphere is of the order of 10 ^-4cm²V^-1s^-1 and turns out to be about 1 order of magnitude higher than that measured in vacuum. It is suggested that the hopping transport of charge dominates in the structures investigated. The increase in the mobility for the measurements in the atmosphere probably results from the additional localized states due to water and other atmosphere molecules.     

AdA:The First Electron-Positron Collider

I review the origin of AdA, the first electron-positron collider at Frascati, Italy, in the early 1960s. I describe the problems that were tackled to produce the positron beam, the vacuum, and the injection system that were necessary to observe the electron-positron beam-beam collisions. Accidents and incidents occurred, such as the unpredicted Touschek effect, and were surmounted. I discuss the roles of the physicists involved in this work and the state of physics at the time, and I sketch subsequent work on larger collider rings. My recollections are based on the original literature and unpublished documents, photographs, and drawings.

针对光伏型中波HgCdTe双色红外探测器作了优化模拟计算，器件采用典型n-p-p-p-n结构和同时工作模式，建立的二维模型考虑了辐射复合、俄歇复合和Shockley-Read-Hall(SRH)复合三种复合机理，以及深能级辅助隧穿和带间直接隧穿效应，载流子穿过阻挡层势垒的隧道效应采用传递矩阵法计算.分析了双色器件光谱响应随吸收区SRH复合少子(电子)寿命的变化关系，以及串音与阻挡层组分的关系.模拟结果显示，随吸收区少子寿命变短，量子效率迅速下降；为了使器件有较高的量子效率，HgCdTe材料的SRH复合电子寿命应该至少在10ns以上.随阻挡层组分增大，势垒增高，串音迅速减小，大约在阻挡层组分差为0.03时下降到光学串音决定的稳定值，得出了抑制电学串音，阻挡层组分差的临界值为0.03. 关键词： HgCdTe中波双色红外探测器 光谱响应 光谱串音 少子寿命     

Spectroscopic properties and photophysics of the synthesized compound 5-nitro-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid in non-polar/polar media and in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles

The present work investigates by electrochemical and steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods a synthesized compound 5-nitro-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (5NBTC), both in normal solvents and in the presence of TiO₂ nanoparticles to reveal the nature of the photophysical processes involved. From the present experimental observations it is inferred that both in the ground state and the excited electronic state S₁, there exists a strong binding between -COOH functionality of 5NBTC and TiO₂ nanoparticles. However, the rupture of this binding in the presence of excess TiO₂, as apparent from the steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic measurements, is responsible for the increase in radiative transitions. Formations of aggregations of TiO₂ nanoparticles at higher concentrations appear the cause of such rupturing. The redox potential measurements by cyclic voltammetry and theoretical computations by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) with B3LYP/6-311 G(d, p) basis function implemented in the Gaussian package confirm the electron accepting nature of 5NBTC and hence no electron transfer is possible between the organic compound and TiO₂ nanoparticles. It is most likely that the interaction model between 5NBTC and TiO₂ nanoparticles should be that the -COOH group of 5NBTC molecule coordinates either directly or through a hydrogen bond to the TiO₂ surface.     

Enantioselective detection of chiral phosphorescent analytes in cyclodextrin complexes

Inclusion complexes between camphorquinone (CQ) and cyclodextrins (CDs) in deoxygenated aqueous solutions are shown to exhibit relatively strong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Among the various CDs tested, α-CD showed the strongest RTP signals. Interestingly, these signals differed significantly for the two enantiomers of CQ; the phosphorescence lifetime of (+)-CQ was about four times longer than that of (−)-CQ, being 352 ± 16 and 89 ± 6 μs, respectively. This enantiomeric selectivity is attributed to a difference in dissociation rates (competing with the radiative emission process) for the diastereoisomeric inclusion complexes dealt with, which have a 2:1 stoichiometry (α-CD:CQ:α-CD). Time-resolved RTP detection using different delay times enables the determination of the two enantiomers in a mixture without involving a separation technique. The minimum detectable fraction of (+)-CQ in a 2 mM sample was 13%.     

Photo-physical and lasing characterisation of a polyparaphenylenevinylene (PPV) neat film

The wave-guided travelling-wave laser action (amplified spontaneous emission) of a neat film of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) on a quartz glass substrate prepared by a sulfinyl precursor technique is studied. The samples are transversally pumped with picosecond excitation pulses (wavelength 347.15 nm, duration 35 ps). Lasing occurs at 550 nm. The optical constants of the neat films are determined by transmittance measurements exploiting the multiple beam interference in the transparency region. A fluorescence spectroscopic characterisation is carried out determining the fluorescence quantum distribution, fluorescence quantum yield, degree of fluorescence polarisation, and fluorescence lifetime. The emitting chromophore size (emitting singlet exciton extension) is determined by the ratio of exciton radiative lifetime to repeat-unit based radiative lifetime. The obtained size of about two repeat units is discussed in a disordered solid-state polymer model.     

Gaugeability and conditional gaugeability

New Kato classes are introduced for general transient Borel right processes, for which gauge and conditional gauge theorems hold. These new classes are the genuine extensions of the Green-tight measures in the classical Brownian motion case. However, the main focus of this paper is on establishing various equivalent conditions and consequences of gaugeability and conditional gaugeability. We show that gaugeability, conditional gaugeability and the subcriticality for the associated Schrödinger operators are equivalent for transient Borel right processes with strong duals. Analytic characterizations of gaugeability and conditional gaugeability are given for general symmetric Markov processes. These analytic characterizations are very useful in determining whether a process perturbed by a potential is gaugeable or conditionally gaugeable in concrete cases. Connections with the positivity of the spectral radii of the associated Schrödinger operators are also established.
