The frequency-domain method reveals the dimeric structure of Na,K-ATPase

Lucifer yellow and lissamine rhodamine sulfonyl hydrazine were used as the donor and the receptor, respectively, for Förster energy transfer measurements to determine the location of the subunit in the native Na,K-ATPase from pig kidney. It was found that (1) the subunits are located in one functional complex, i.e., the dimer ()₂ appears to be the functional complex of Na,K-ATPase, and (2) the subunits in the functional enzyme complex in the membrane are not located next to each other but are rather well separated. The distance between fluorophores covalently attached to the subunits was found to be 5.3 nm.

New Plasmon Waveguides Composed of Twin Metal Wedges with a Nano Gap

We have numerically shown the existence of coupled wedge plasmons (CWPs) which propagates along a nano gap of a twin metal wedge. The CWPs are formed by wedge plasmons which can interact with each other. The dispersion relations of the wavenumber, propagation distance, and beam area of CWPs, are described and show that the characteristics of CWPs are similar to those of wedge plasmons and of gap plasmons. We also propose a new plasmon waveguide composed of twin metal wedges with a nano gap.     

Enhancement of the SHG efficiency in a doubly resonant 2D-photonic crystal microcavity

In this paper we discuss the conditions to obtain the enhancement of second harmonic generation in a two-dimensional circular photonic crystal AlGaAs cavity. The photonic crystal circular cavity offers the possibility of having high-Q resonance modes with respect to those obtained with other types of photonic crystal lattices. The crystallographic cut of the AlGaAs provides a strong nonlinear coupling between a transverse-magnetic (TM) polarized resonant mode at the fundamental wavelength and a transverse-electric (TE) polarized resonant mode at second harmonic wavelength. The double resonance condition leads to a strong improvement of the second harmonic generation process. A preliminary linear analysis has been performed by using the finite-difference time-domain method, which includes the dispersive response of the material, modeled using the well-known one-pole pair Lorentzian function.     

微通道中气体流动的格子Boltzmann数值模拟

采用可压缩格子Boltzmann模型及非平衡外推边界条件,数值模拟微通道中的气体在滑移区域(Kn≤0.1)内的流动,计算结果包括出口速度剖面、通道中心压力分布以及质量流率等,与理论结果及其他实验结果符合得很好.还模拟了180°弯曲通道中的气体流动.结果表明,滑移速度的存在抑制了边界层的分离,因此在弯曲处不存在漩涡.计算结果还表明,弯道的存在显著影响了气体的质量流率.

The randomly fluctuating impurity strength initiated excitation in doped quantum dots

We investigate the excitation behavior of a repulsive impurity doped quantum dot under the influence of randomly fluctuating dopant potential. We have considered Gaussian impurity centers doped at different locations. The investigation reveals the interplay between dopant location and dopant’s spatial stretch in modulating the excitation pattern. Maximization in the excitation rate has been observed as a function of fluctuating dopant strength owing to the conflict between opposing influences that promote and hinder excitation.

利用流体模型对光生载流子的输运进行了模拟研究,结果表明载流子在输运过程中形成的光激发电荷畴是产生电脉冲超快上升特性的主要原因.对光激发电荷畴的形成和吸收过程的进一步研究表明：1)形成过程中的光激发电荷畴增强了电子的浓度梯度;2)光激发电荷畴在被阳极吸收的过程中,光电导开关偏置电压的快速下降能促进电流上升速度.光激发电荷畴的形成和吸收两大过程共同作用下,形成了电脉冲的超快上升特性. 关键词： 光电导开关 非线性模式 光激发电荷畴 上升时间     

三维时域有限差分法计算金纳米粒子尺寸与SERS活性的关联

通过合成一系列不同粒径(16～160 nm)的金纳米粒子.观察到120～135 nm的金纳米粒子在632.8nm波长激发下具有最高的SERS活性,这与前人报道的电磁场理论及实验的结果不同.利用三维时域有限差分法对金纳米粒子的SERS活性与其尺寸以及入射光波长的关系进行模拟计算.在632.8 nm激发线下,金纳米粒子二聚体体系在粒径为110 nm左右具有最佳增强效应,其光电场耦合最强的热点处的增强因子高达109考虑到体系的平均SERS增强因子通常会比最大值低约2个数量级,计算得到的107的增强因子与实验测量值相符.同时对目前实验上尚难以合成的大尺寸的金纳米粒子进行模拟,结果表明受多极矩和大尺寸效应的影响在粒径220 nm时又出现SERS增强另一峰值.在325 nm的紫外激发线下,计算得到的增强因子仅为102.
