Spin-polarized transport in a δ-doped magnetic-barrier nanostructure

We theoretically investigate the electron spin transport properties through a δ-doped magnetic-barrier nanostructure, which can be realized experimentally by depositing two identical ferromagnetic stripes with the opposite in-plane magnetization on the top of a semiconductor heterostructure in parallel configuration and by using atomic layer doping technique. The δ-doping dependent transmission, conductance and spin polarization are calculated exactly by analytically solving Schrödinger equation of the spin electron. It is found that the electronic spin-polarized behavior in this device can be manipulated by changing the weight and/or the position of the δ-doping. Therefore, such a device can be used as a controllable spin filter, which may be helpful for spintronics applications.     

Semi-preparative HPLC purification of δ-tocotrienol (δ-T3) from Elaeis guineensis Jacq. and Bixa orellana L. and evaluation of its in vitro anticancer activity in human A375 melanoma cells

In this work, we report a rapid and convenient HPLC-UV-DAD method for the isolation of δ-T3 on semi-preparative scale from two different vitamin E rich processed, commercially available products obtained from the fruits of Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (oil palm) and from the seeds of Bixa orellana L. (achiote tree). Chromatography was run using reverse phase (RP) C-18 columns and HPLC-grade acetonitrile as mobile phase. The purity of the isolated δ-T3, assessed by GC–MS and ¹H NMR was above 98%. The δ-T3 cytotoxic activity found in vitro against the proliferation of human A375 melanoma cells compared to that of the other δ-T3 free tocols mixture suggest its primary role in the experimental anticancer activity observed for palm oil derived products. Taken altogether, the results of this study highlight the importance of the application of suitable purification systems for the preparations of tocotrienols prior to their experimental or clinical testing.     

Syntheses and applications of enantiopure δ-amino acids and their precursors

Enantiopure unnatural homologated amino acids, whereby there is?>?1 carbon atom between the C- and N- termini have found great utility in a number of applications. The enantiopure syntheses of β-amino acids are well documented, as increasingly are those of γ-amino acids. δ-Amino acids on the other hand are much less well-studied despite reports of their potential utility. This review attempts to summarise strategies that have been adopted towards the enantioselective synthesis of δ-amino acids and their precursors (e.g. nitrile/nitro/azido/ester/alcohol etc) and where appropriate demonstrate their utility. Only systems which are all carbon between the two termini are considered and only those where the shortest route between any given C-termini and any given N-termini is four carbons long (i.e. lysine derivatives are not considered).     

Well-posedness of a class of perturbed optimization problems in Banach spaces

Let X be a Banach space and Z a nonempty subset of X. Let J:Z→R be a lower semicontinuous function bounded from below and p?1. This paper is concerned with the perturbed optimization problem of finding z₀∈Z such that ‖x−z₀p^‖+J(z₀)=infz∈Z{‖x−zp^‖+J(z)}, which is denoted by minJ(x,Z). The notions of the J-strictly convex with respect to Z and of the Kadec with respect to Z are introduced and used in the present paper. It is proved that if X is a Kadec Banach space with respect to Z and Z is a closed relatively boundedly weakly compact subset, then the set of all x∈X for which every minimizing sequence of the problem minJ(x,Z) has a converging subsequence is a dense Gδ-subset of X?Z₀, where Z₀ is the set of all points z∈Z such that z is a solution of the problem minJ(z,Z). If additionally p>1 and X is J-strictly convex with respect to Z, then the set of all x∈X for which the problem minJ(x,Z) is well-posed is a dense Gδ-subset of X?Z₀.     

Solvent-free heterogeneous organocatalysis: stereoselective isomerization of α,β-ynones to (E,E)-α,β-γ,δ-dienones catalyzed by polymer-supported tertiaryphosphines

Stereoselective isomerization of α,β-ynones was catalyzed by polymer-supported tertiaryphosphines under solvent-free conditions. (E,E)-α,β-γ,δ-Dienones were obtained with up to 93% isolated yields when JJ-TPP was employed.

Influence of the substrate material on the properties of pulsed laser deposited thin Li1+xMn2O4−δ films

Thin Li_1+xMn₂O_4−δ films were deposited on several substrate materials (stainless steel, p-doped silicon and glassy carbon) by pulsed laser deposition. To obtain the correct thin film stoichiometries, targets with a different amount of excess lithium were required (Li_1.03Mn₂O₄ + xLi₂O; x = 2.5 and 7.5 mol%). The resulting polycrystalline thin films were characterized with respect to their morphology and electrochemical activity. It was found that only thin Li_1+xMn₂O_4−δ films deposited on stainless steel and glassy carbon showed the typical insertion and deinsertion peaks of Li⁺ during cycling.     

Ga掺杂δ-Pu的密度泛函理论计算

δ-Pu为Pu的高温相,掺杂少量的Ga即可使其在室温下稳定存在.本文采用密度泛函理论方法,对不同掺杂量体系进行晶体结构和电子结构计算,主要包括体系的晶格常数、密度、形成能、态密度、电荷密度和Mulliken布居分析.结果表明：在研究范围内,Ga掺杂后,体系晶格常数降低,密度增大,6.25%（原子百分比,下同）掺杂量体系的稳定性高于3.125%和12.5%掺杂量的体系;Ga掺杂使得Pu周围体系电子的局域性增强,成键能力增强,揭示了Ga稳定δ-Pu的电子机制.Ga和Pu之间为金属键,发生的作用主要由Pu的7s、6p、6d和Ga的4s、4p轨道电子贡献,但这种成键作用相对较弱,使得掺杂体系可以保持原有的力学性能和机械加工性能.Ga对δ-Pu的稳定作用主要在于改善Pu原子的成键性能,而不是与Pu原子直接成键.
