A Negative Deviation from Stern–Volmer Equation in Fluorescence Quenching

A negative deviation from the normal Stern-Volmer equation shown in the fluorescence quenching of doxorubicin by adenosine 5' monophosphate is interpreted in terms of doxorubicin exists in two different conformers in the ground state. An estimate of the Stem-Volmer constant for the excited-state quenching is about 218 M(-1). The fluorescence decay of free doxorubicin is a bi-exponential in polar protic and polar aprotic solvents. In the presence of adenosine 5' monophosphate, doxorubicin shows a tri-exponential decay in water.     

Measurement of RLT and ATL in the 4He(e, e’p)3H reaction at pmiss of 130-300 MeV/ c

We have measured the ⁴He(e, ep)³H reaction at missing momenta of 130-300 MeV/c using the three-spectrometer facility at the Mainz microtron MAMI. Data were taken in perpendicular kinematics to allow us to determine the response function R_LT and the asymmetry term A_TL. The data are compared to both relativistic and non-relativistic calculations.     

Adiabatic population transfer in effective three-level systems driven by laser beams

The population transfer in effective three-state systems driven by laser beams has been studied based on the theory of Lewis－Riesenfeld Hermitian invariants in the full- and partial-adiabatic approximations. A strict formulation of adiabatic conditions is given, and a new adiabatic condition for inducing a complete population transfer is found.     

Electronic structure of Yb/H－Si (111) interface

Photoemission spectra are measured for Yb covered surface of wet-chemically-etched H－Si (111). The results reveal that the lattice structure of the H－Si (111) surface is stable against the deposition of Yb atoms. X-ray photoemission spectra indicate the formation of a polarized (dipole) surface layer, with the silicon negatively charged. Ultraviolet photoemission spectra exhibit the semiconducting property of the interface below one monolayer coverage. Work function variation during the formation of the Yb/H－Si (111) interface is measured by the secondary-electron cutoff in the ultraviolet photoemission spectral line. The largest decrease of work function is ～1.65eV. The contributions of the dipole surface layer and the band bending to the work function change are determined to be ～1.15eV and ～0.5eV, respectively. The work function of metal Yb is determined to be ～2.80±0.05eV.     

Ground state properties of a Bose－Einstein condensate confined in an anharmonic external potential

In light of the interference experiment of Bose－Einstein condensates, we present an anharmonic external potential model to study ground state properties of Bose－Einstein condensates. The ground state energy and the chemical potential have been analytically obtained, which are lower than those in harmonic trap. Additionally, it is found that the anharmonic strength of the external potential has an important effect on density and velocity distributions of the ground state for the Thomas－Fermi model.     

Comparative study of spectroscopic properties of Er^3＋／Yb^3＋-codoped tellurite glass and fibres under 980nm excitation＊

A tellurite fibre of TeO_{2}－ZnO－La_{2}O_{3}－Li_{2}O glass codoped with 20000 ppm ytterbium and 5000 ppm erbium was fabricated by the suction casting and rod-in-tube technologies. The absorption spectrum of Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+} -codoped bulk glass has been measured. From the Judd－Ofelt intensity parameters, the spontaneous emission probability and radiative lifetime τ_{rad} of Er^{3+}:{}^{4}I_{13/2}→{}^{4}I_{15/2} transition for the bulk glass have been calculated. The emission fluorescence spectra and lifetimes around 1.5μm, and subsequent upconversion fluorescence in the range of 500－700nm were measured in fibres and compared with those in bulk glass. The changes in amplified spontaneous emission with fibre length and pumping power was also measured. It was found that the emission spectrum from erbium in fibres is almost twice as broad as the corresponding spectrum in bulk glass when pumped at 980nm.     

Insights into the sonochemical decomposition of Fe(CO)5: theoretical and experimental understanding of the role of molar concentration and power density on the reaction yield

The present work analyses, in detail, the optimization of a sonochemical process with respect to concentration of precursor and power supplied in a system. This is due to that even a small change in power dramatically changes the high-energy conditions created with the bubble collapse. A model reaction that has been considered for this purpose involves the decomposition of Fe(CO)₅ in decalin solvent as this reaction is strongly influenced by the cavitation conditions. Sonochemical treatment of this carbonyl results in the formation of amorphous Fe₂O₃, which on heat treatment gives nanocrystalline Fe₂O₃. It has been observed that concentration and power density parameters play an important role to obtain higher decomposition of Fe(CO)₅ and hence higher yield of the amorphous Fe₂O₃ product. Also, using the experimentally observed results, a correlation (polynomial) has been developed.     

New explicit exact solutions to a nonlinear dispersive－dissipative equation

Using the first-integral method, we obtain a series of new explicit exact solutions such as exponential function solutions, triangular function solutions, singular solitary wave solution and kink solitary wave solution of a nonlinear dispersive－dissipative equation, which describes weak nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in plasma consisting of cold ions and warm electrons.     

An alternating periodic－chaotic ISI sequence of HH neuron under external sinusoidal stimulus

A study of Hodgkin－Huxley (HH) neuron under external sinusoidal excited stimulus is presented in this paper. As is well known, the stimulus frequency is to be considered as a bifurcate parameter, and numerous phenomena, such as synchronization, period, and chaos appear alternatively with the changing of the stimulus frequency. For the stimulus frequency less than 2f_B (f_B being the base frequency in this paper), the simulation results demonstrate that the single HH neuron could completely convey the sinusoidal signal in anti-phase into interspike interval (ISI) sequences. We also report, perhaps for the first time, another kind of phenomenon, the beat phenomenon, which exists in the phase dynamics of the ISI sequences of the HH neuron stimulated by a sinusoidal current. It is shown furthermore that intermittent transition results in the general route to chaos.
