lin-Benzo-ATP and-ADP: Versatile fluorescent probes for spectroscopic and biochemical studies

lin-Benzo-adenine nucleotides can act not only as probes for fluorescence studies but also as structural active site probes for enzymes. To understand the basic properties oflin-benzo-ATP and-ADP, protolysis and Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, binding are investigated between pH 6.2 and pH 8.5 by spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric titrations. Based on a reaction model, a set of equilibrium constants is determined which is consistent with all available experimental results. The pK values of the Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ complex oflin-benzo-ATP in the chosen medium are 4.6 and 4.1, respectively, and those for the corresponding diphosphate are 3.1 and 2.8, respectively. Fluorescence and absorption spectra are reported.This is a peer-reviewed conference proceeding article from the Third Conference on Methods and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Prague, Czech Republic, October 18–21, 1993.     

Multiple scattering of gamma rays in water,concrete and sand

The transmitted photon spectra of¹³³Ba,²²Na,¹³⁷Cs,⁵⁴Mn and⁶⁰Co point sources are measured through different thicknesses of water, concrete and sand. The multiple-scatter peaks observed in these materials at 60, 90 and 100 keV energies respectively are found to be independent of incident photon energy and thickness of the medium.     

Absence of absolutely continuous spectrum of Floquet operators

The spectrum of the Floquet operator associated with time-periodic perturbations of discrete Hamiltonians is considered. If the gap between successive eigenvalues _j of the unperturbed Hamiltonian grows as _j - _j-1 j and the multiplicity of _j grows asj with >0 asj tends to infinity, then the corresponding Floquet operator possesses no absolutely continuous spectrum provided the perturbation is smooth enough.

Temperature dependence of the linewidth of the first-order Raman spectra for MnF2 crystal

The first-order Raman spectra ofE _gandA _1g modes in MnF₂ crystal were measured at temperatures from 4.2 to 563 K, and the values of the linewidths obtained. The temperature dependence of the linewidths was analyzed by the phonon dispersion curves based on the rigid ion model, and the result showed that it was caused approximately by the cubic anharmonic term in crystal potential energy.     

The p-chain Spectral Sequence

We introduce a new spectral sequence called the p-chain spectral sequence which converges to the (co-)homology of a contravariant C-space with coefficients in a covariant C-spectrum for a small category C. It is different from the corresponding Atiyah–Hirzebruch-type spectral sequence. It can be used in combination with the Isomorphism Conjectures of Baum and Connes and Farrell and Jones to compute algebraic K- and L-groups of group rings and topological K-groups of reduced group C*-algebras.     

Boundary conditions of Sturm-Liouville operators with mixed spectra

We study bounds on averages of spectral functions corresponding to Sturm-Liouville operators on the half line for different boundary conditions. As a consequence constraints are obtained which imply existence of singular spectrum embedded in a.c. spectrum for sets of boundary conditions with positive measure and potentials vanishing in an interval [0,N]. These constraints are related to estimates on the measure of sets where the spectral density is positive.

Many body effects in the electronic and optical properties of the (1 1 1) surface of diamond

The (1 1 1) face is the cleavage surface of diamond. Understanding its properties is very important for the growing technological interest on the chemistry of diamond surfaces. Within DFT the most stable reconstruction is the Pandey chain model, the atoms on the chain being neither buckled nor dimerised. However this geometry gives rise to a semi metallic band structure in contrast with experimental findings that show the presence of a gap ranging from 0.5 to 2 eV. Here we show that the same equilibrium geometry and thus the same metallic band structure is found relaxing the surface using screened exchange (sX) or Hartree-Fock (HF) functionals. We will discuss in detail how breaking the equivalence of the atoms on the chain affects the band structure and we will show that a buckling would yield a semiconducting surface, but is energetically unfavorable. A semiconducting character can be restored, within the equilibrium geometry, if quasiparticle corrections are carefully included within an iterative GW scheme. The result of the theoretical reflectance anisotropy spectra (RAS) at a DFT-RPA level are also presented and discussed. As expected, a strong anisotropy signal is found at low energies due to transitions between surface states inside the fundamental gap.
