Entanglement transfer from two-mode squeezed vacuum light to spatially separated mechanical oscillators via dissipative optomechanical coupling

In this paper, we propose a scheme to generate an entangled state between two spatially separated movable mirrors by injecting the two-mode squeezed optical reservoir to the dissipative optomechanics, in which the movable mirrors can modulate the linewidth of the cavity modes. When the coupling between the mirrors and the corresponding cavity modes is weak, the two driven cavity fields can respectively behave as the squeezed-vacuum reservoir for the two movable mirrors by utilizing the effect of completely destructive interference of quantum noise. Thus the mechanical modes are prepared in a two-mode squeezed vacuum state. Moreover,when the coupling between the two mirrors and the cavities modes is strong, the entanglement between the two movable mirrors decreases because photonic excitation can preclude the completely destructive interference of quantum noise, but the movable mirrors are still entangled.     

Two-photon spectroscopic behaviors and photodynamic effect on the BEL-7402 cancer cells of the new chlorophyll photosensitizer

The spectroscopic properties of a new chlorophyll derivate photosensitizer(CDP) are studied under the excitation wavelengths at 800 and 400 nm using femtosecond pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser.The damaging effect of CDP on the BEL-7402 cancer cells is also investigated upon two-photon illumination at 800 nm.The normalized fluorescence spectra of CDP in tetrahydrofuran(THF) show that two-photon and one-photon spectra have the same distributions and the same emission bands(675 nm).The life-times of two-and one-photon induced fluorescence of this molecule are of the order of 5.0 ns.By comparing the data it is shown that there is some difference between the two lifetimes,but the differ-ence is less than one nanosecond.The two-photon absorption cross section of the molecule is also measured at 800 nm and estimated as about σ′2 ≈ 31.5×10-50 cm4·s·photon-1.The results of two-photon photodynamic therapy(TPPDT) tests show that CDP can kill all of the tested cancer cells according to the usual Eosine assessment.Our results indicate that the two-photon-induced photophysical,photo-chemical and photosensitizing processes of CDP may be basically similar to those of one-photon ex-citation.These behaviors of the sample suggest that one may find other possible methods to estimate some photosensitizers' effects in details such as their distribution in cells and the reactive targets of the sub-cellular parts of some tumor cells via two-photon excitation techniques.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of a series of novel tetra(4-benzoyl)phenoxyphthalocyanine derivatives

A novel phthalocyanine,2,9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetra(4-benzoyl)phenoxyphthalocyanine,and its complexes with Zn(II),Cu(II),Co(II),and Ni(II) have been synthesized and characterized by a combination of elemental analysis,IR,1 H NMR,UV-vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.All of the materials are very soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane,chloroform,tetrahydrofuran,N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide.The Q band wavelengths of the complexes decrease in the order:Zn > Cu > Ni > Co.Redox processes were observed at 1.06,0.74,0.51 and 0.98 V for the free phthalocyanine,at 0.72 and 1.04 V for the Co(II) complex,at 1.24,0.77,0.24,0.61 and 0.91 V for the Cu(II) complex,and at 0.74 and 1.20 V for the Ni(II) complex.The cyclic voltammograms of the phthalocyanine ring of the four species are similar,with reduction and oxidation couples each involving a one-electron transfer process.     

Keggin型多金属氧酸盐[XW11MoO40]n-(X=P, Si, Ge ；n=3, 4)在水和二甲基酰胺溶液中的电化学行为

The electrochemical behavior of monomolybdenum-substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalates [XW11MoO40]^n- （X=P, Si, Ge with n=3, 4） was studied in aqueous and N,N-dimethylformamide （DMF） solution. These anionic clusters showed different electrochemical behaviors in two kinds of media. The initial potentials of [XW11MoO40]^n- in DMF were more negative than those in aqueous solution, showing a lower oxidation ability of [XW11MoO40]^n- in DMF. The investigation results suggested that the redox properties of polyoxometalates be tuned by the substitutions of Mo for W and by replacing aqueous solution with organic solvent, which provided valuable information to rationally choose polyoxometalates （POM） in preparation of POM-based organic/inorganic hybrid materials.
