Mn掺杂ZnS(110)表面的电子结构和磁性

采用基于密度泛函理论的第-性原理方法,研究Mn掺杂ZnS(110)表面的电子结构和磁性.计算分析不同掺杂组态的几何参数、形成能、磁矩、电子态密度以及电荷密度.结果表明:单个Mn原子掺杂,替位于表面第二层的Zn原子时体系形成能最低,说明该层是最稳定的掺杂位置.对于两个Mn原子的掺杂,当Mn与Mn之间呈反铁磁耦合时体系最稳定.体系的总磁矩和自由Mn原子的磁矩差别很小,但是Mn原子的局域磁矩却依赖于Mn原子的3d态和近邻S原子的3p态的杂化作用,即受周围S原子环境的变化影响较大.此外,分析电荷密度图得出Mn原子替换Zn原子后与S原子形成了更强的共价键.     

Changes in the Structural Dimensionality of Selenidostannates in Ionic Liquids: Formation,Structures, Stability,and Photoconductivity

In situ transformations of selenidostannate frameworks in ionic liquids (ILs) were initiated by treatment of the starting phase K₂[Sn₂Se₅] and the consecutive reaction products by means of temperature increase and/or amine addition. Along the reaction pathway, the framework dimensionalities of the five involved selenidostannate anions develop from 3D to 1D and back, both in top‐down and bottom‐up style. Addition of ethane‐1,2‐diamine (en) led to the reversion of the 2D→1D step from 2D‐{[Sn₂₄Se₅₆]^16?} to 1D‐{[Sn₆Se₁₄]^4?}. As rationalized by DFT investigations, the 2D anion is thermodynamically favored. Photoconductivity measurements reveal that all samples show Schottky contact behavior with absolute thresholds below 10 V. One of the samples exhibits conductive states within the energy range of visible photons.     

Quantitative characterization by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation of IgG thermal aggregation with and without polymer protective agents

Complexes formed between poly(acrylates) and polyclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG) in its native conformation and after heat stress were characterized using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with on-line UV-Vis spectroscopy and multi-angle light-scattering detection (MALS). Mixtures of IgG and poly(acrylates) of increasing structural complexity, sodium poly(acrylate) (PAA), a sodium poly(acrylate) bearing at random 3 mol % n-octadecyl groups, and a random copolymer of sodium acrylate (35 mol %), N-n-octylacrylamide (25 mol %) and N-isopropylacrylamide (40 mol %), were fractionated in a sodium phosphate buffer (0.02 M, pH 6.8) in the presence, or not, of 0.1 M NaCl. The AF4 protocol developed allowed the fractionation of solutions containing free poly(acrylates), native IgG monomer and dimer, poly(acrylates)/IgG complexes made up of one IgG molecule and a few polymer chains, and/or larger poly(acrylates)/IgG aggregates. The molar mass and recovery of the soluble analytes were obtained for mixed solutions of poly(acrylates) and native IgG and for the same solutions incubated at 65 °C for 10 min. From the combined AF4 results, we concluded that in solutions of low ionic strength, the presence of PAA increased the recovery ratio of IgG after thermal stress because of the formation of electrostatically-driven PAA/IgG complexes, but PAA had no protective effect in the presence of 0.1 M NaCl. Poly(acrylates) bearing hydrophobic groups significantly increased IgG recovery after stress, independently of NaCl concentration, because of the synergistic effect of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The AF4 results corroborate conclusions drawn from a previous study combining four analytical techniques. This study demonstrates that AF4 is an efficient tool for the analysis of protein formulations subjected to stress, an important achievement given the anticipated important role of proteins in near-future human therapies. ?

ZnS(111)表面掺杂Mn的电子结构和磁性的第一性原理研究

应用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理,研究Mn原子掺杂在ZnS(111)表面的电子结构和磁性.对于单原子的掺杂组态,替位表面第一层的Zn原子时体系形成能最低,说明该层是最稳定的掺杂位置.体系总磁矩取决于Mn原子的局域环境.而对于双掺杂组态,当Mn与Mn之间呈短程铁磁耦合作用时体系最稳定.这可由Mn原子和近邻S原子的p-d杂化作用解释.此时,体系的居里温度估算值为469 K,明显高于室温,具有理论指导意义.Mn原子和受主半导体之间的相互作用是自旋极化产生的主要原因.计算结果表明,该掺杂材料可以很好的用来制作稀磁半导体,具有良好的应用前景.     

Development and validation of an RP‐HPLC method for the quantitation of Orteronel (TAK‐700), a CYP17A1 enzyme inhibitor,in rat plasma and its application to a pharmacokinetic study

A novel, simple, specific, sensitive and reproducible high‐performance liquid chromatography assay method has been developed and validated for the estimation of Orteronel in rat plasma. The bioanalytical procedure involves extraction of Orteronel and phenacetin (internal standard) from rat plasma with a simple liquid–liquid extraction process. The chromatographic analysis was performed on a Waters Alliance system using a gradient mobile phase conditions at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and a C₁₈ column maintained at ambient room temperature. The eluate was monitored using a photodiode array detector set at 242. Orteronel and internal standard eluted at 4.8 and 6.2 min, respectively and the total run time was 9 min. Method validation was performed as per US Food and Drug Administration guidelines and the results met the acceptance criteria. The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 100–3149 ng/mL (r² = 0.995). The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions were in the ranges of 0.31–7.87 and 3.97–6.35, respectively, in rat plasma. The validated HPLC method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of Orteronel in rats. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

对二维分离流涡黏性系数非线性分布的新认识

以弱非线性涡黏性模型为出发点,对Delery分离流动实验结果进行分析并获得了非平衡态分离区涡黏性系数与形状因子J之间的非线性关系. 该非线性关系显示在分离起始阶段,涡黏性系数较平衡态先减小,后增大;再附阶段,涡黏性系数较平衡态数值逐渐增大,并在再附点位置接近最大,而后又逐渐减小,恢复到平衡态水平. 总结涡黏性系数的这种非线性发展数学关系式,并将它应用于BL模型,在不添加微分方程的情况下发展出一种适用于分离流动的改进代数湍流模型. 对低速平板流动,跨声速,超声速以及高超声速分离流动的计算结果表明,该改进湍流模型可以较准确地模拟各类复杂分离流动,计算精度明显优于传统代数模型以及一些两方程模型,而计算工作量仍与BL模型相当. 这表明所提出的涡黏性系数非线性发展规律是正确的,且应用在二维分离流动中具有一定的普适性.
