Colossal magnetoresistance manganites: A new approach

Manganites of the LA_1−x Ca _x MnO₃ family show a variety of new and poorly understood electronic, magnetic and structural effects. Here we outline a new approach recently proposed by us, where we argue that due to strong Jahn-Teller (JT) coupling with phonons the twofold degeneratee _g states at the Mn sites dynamically reorganize themselves into localised, JT polaronsl with exponentially small inter-site hopping, and band-like, nonpolaronic statesb, leading to anew 2-band model for manganites which includes strong Coulomb and Hund’s couplings. We also discuss some results from a dynamical mean-field theory treatment of the model which explains quantitatively a wide variety of experimental results, including insulator-metal transitions and CMR, in terms of the influence of physical conditions on the relative energies and occupation of thel andb states. We argue that this microscopic coexistence of the two types of electronic states, and their relative occupation and spatial correlation is the key to manganite physics.

次近邻相互作用对Heisenberg XX链纠缠影响的研究

研究了存在次近邻相互作用(耦合)时Heisenberg XX链的纠缠特性. 结果表明对近邻格点, 随着耦合常数J的变化, 次近邻相互作用的存在可能使其纠缠度增大或者减小; 而对次近邻格点, 引进次近邻相互作用却可以产生纠缠, 并且使其随着|J|的增大而增大. 近邻格点间纠缠存在的临界温度T_c随着J的增大而降低, 次近邻格点间纠缠存在的临界温度T_c随着|J|的增大而升高. 此外对纠缠W态的制备, 次近邻相互作用的存在还使得三量子位情形时W态产生的时刻改变, 而对于四量子位情形却没有影响.     

Construction of 2Ⅲ^[m-（m-k）] Designs with the Maximum Number of Clear Two-factor Interactions

It is useful to know the maximum number of clear two-factor interactions in a_Ⅲ~(m-(m-k))design.This paper provides a method to construct a 2_Ⅲ~(m-(m-k))design with the maximum number of clear two-factorinteractions.And it is proved that the resulting designs have more clear two-factor interactions than thoseconstructed by Tang et al.Moreover,the designs constructed are shown to have concise grid representations.

Effect of pressure on the solubilities ofo-,m- andp-xylene in water

The solubilities of o-, m- and p-xylene in water were measured at 25.0°C up to 250, 385, and 50 MPa, respectively. The solubility increased with increasing pressure up to 120 MPa (50 MPa for p-xylene) and then decreased. The reaction volumes, V^o accompanying the dissolution at 0.1 MPa were estimated as –3.6±0.5, –3.4±0.5, and –4.1±0.5 cm³-mol^–1 for o-, m-, and p-xylene, respectively, from the pressure dependences of the solubilities. The limiting partial molar volumes, of p- and o-xylene in water under high pressure were estimated from V^o and the molar volume of the xylene. The partial molar volumes decreased with increasing pressure. The reaction volume for the formation of intra-molecular pairwise hydrophobic interaction between the methyl groups, as proposed by Ben-Naim, is discussed for the V^o of p- and o-xylene at 0.1 MPa.     

Molecular Spectroscopic Study on the Interaction between Heparin and Neutral Red

The interaction between heparin and neutral red was investigated by molecular spectroscopic methods. The change of all spectra suggested that positively charged neutral red had interacted with negatively charged heparin. The study of influence factors indicated that electrostatic force and hydrophobic bond might be involved in the interaction. The total binding number per disaccharide unit and intrinsic binding constant were obtained using Scatchard model.     

Detection of processed genetically modified food using CIM monolithic columns for DNA isolation

The availability of sufficient quantities of DNA of adequate quality is crucial in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for genetically modified food detection. In this work, the suitability of anion-exchange CIM (Convective Interaction Media; BIA Separations, Ljubljana, Slovenia) monolithic columns for isolation of DNA from food was studied. Maize and its derivates corn meal and thermally pretreated corn meal were chosen as model food. Two commercially available CIM disk columns were tested: DEAE (diethylaminoethyl) and QA (quaternary amine). Preliminary separations were performed with standard solution of salmon DNA at different pH values and different NaCl concentrations in mobile phase. DEAE groups and pH 8 were chosen for further isolations of DNA from a complex matrix-food extract. The quality and quantity of isolated DNA were tested on agarose gel electrophoresis, with UV-scanning spectrophotometry, and by amplification with real-time PCR. DNA isolated in this way was of suitable quality for further PCR analyses. The described method is also applicable for DNA isolation from processed foods with decreased DNA content. Furthermore, it is more effective and less time-consuming in comparison with the existing proposed methods for isolation of DNA from plant-derived foods.

Numerical computation of the electrostatic interaction energy between methanol and the dyad water-imidazole

Summary The electrostatic interaction energy between methanol and the dyad water-imidazole has been computed numerically at three levels of approximation from 3D grids of the charge density of one partner and the electrostatic potential of the other. The minimum positions and energy values thus obtained compare well with those calculated analytically. The numerical procedure is especially interesting for the prediction of the stable conformers.
