原子力显微镜在分子细胞生物学研究中的应用

 1986年秉霖(G.Binning)等在扫描隧道显微镜的基础上发明了原子力显微镜(Atomicforcemicro-scope,AFM)。这种显微镜的放大倍数远远超过以往的任何显微镜,可以直接观察物质的分子和原子组成,这为微观世界的探索提供了理想的工具。AFM不仅可以以高分辨率表征样品表面形貌,分析研究与作用力相对应的各种表面性质,并可对样品的分子或原子进行纳米级力加工,也能对活的生命样品进行实时动态观测。这些特性使AFM在生命科学特别是在分子细胞生物学的研究中占据着独特的地位。一、AFM对细胞表面结构的研究AFM的样品制备简单,只需作一个渗涂片并在空气中干燥,且不需特殊的染色和固定;它的     

过渡金属表面γ-氨丙基三甲氧基硅烷膜的研究

本文对在过渡金属铁、镍电极表面制备得到的γ-氨丙基三甲氧基硅烷(γ-APS)膜进行了研究。实验中对硅烷膜用X-射线光电子能谱(XPS)、现场表面增强拉曼散射光谱(SERS)和原子力显微镜(AFM)进行了表征。X-射线光电子能谱(XPS)的结果发现存在两个N1s峰,表明γ-APS膜中的氨基有两种存在方式:自由氨基和质子化氨基。实验中还发现现场表面增强拉曼散射光谱(SERS)是研究金属/γ-APS体系中界面层结构非常有效的手段,SERS结果表明硅醇羟基和氨基发生了竞争吸附,且γ-APS分子在外加电位等条件的影响下吸附状态会发生一定变化。原子力显微镜(AFM)的表征结果在微观上显示电极表面的γ-APS膜上形成了一种较规则的微孔结构,这种结构可能与基底的性质有关。     

Nano-tribological study on a super-hydrophobic film formed on rough aluminium substrates

A novel super-hydrophobic stearic acid (STA) film with a water contact angle of 166^o was prepared by chemical adsorption on aluminum wafer coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) film. The micro-tribological behavior of the super-hydrophobic STA monolayer was compared with that of the polished and PEI-coated Al surfaces. The effect of relative humidity on the adhesion and friction was investigated as well. It was found that the STA monolayer showed decreased friction, while the adhesive force was greatly decreased by increasing the surface roughness of the Al wafer to reduce the contact area between the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and the sample surface to be tested. Thus the friction and adhesion of the Al wafer was effectively decreased by generating the STA monolayer, which indicated that it could be feasible and rational to prepare a surface with good adhesion resistance and lubricity by properly controlling the surface morphology and the chemical composition. Both the adhesion and friction decreased as the relative humidity was lowered from 65% to 10%, though the decrease extent became insignificant for the STA monolayer.

Morphology of Platinum Nanowire Array Electrodepostied Within Anodic Aluminium Oxide Template Characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy

Unifrom platinum nanowires were synthesized by electrodepositing the platinum under a very low altering current frequency(20Hz) and increasing voltage(5-15V）in the proes of anodic aluminium oxide(AAO) template. Atomic force microscopy observation indicates that the template membranes we obtained have hexagonally clse-packed nanochannels.The platinum nanowires have highly ordered arrays after partially dissolving the aluminium oxide membrane.With the increasing dissolvoing time,the platinum nanowire array collapsed.A concave topography of the aluminium substrate was observed after the aluminium oxide membrane was dissolved completely and the platinum nanowires were released from the template.Platinum nanowires were also characterized by transmission electron microscopy and the phase structure of the Al/AAO/Pt composite was proven by x-ray diffraction.

Experimental Study of Capillary Effect in Porous Silicon Using Micro-Raman Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction

We investigate the capillary effect and the residual stress evolution in the wetting, drying and rewetting stages of porous silicon using x-ray diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy. A reversible capillary effect and an irreversible oxidation effect are the driving forces for the residual stress evolution. The lattice expansion of the porous-silicon layer is observed to decrease slightly by x-ray diffraction and the tensile residual stress increases rapidly by micro-Raman spectroscopy, with the change of about 82 MPa for the oxidation effect and the change of 2.78 GPa (enough for cracking) for the capillary effect. Therefore, the capillary effect plays a major role in the residual stress evolution in the stages. A simple microscopic liquid-bridge model is introduced to explain the capillary effect and its reversibility. The capillary emergence has a close relation with a great deal of the micro-pore structure of porous silicon.     

金属铀各相电子结构与原子力

锕系元素不仅存在σ，π，δ对称，还出现了φ轨道，而且相对论效应十分明显，作用机理比较复杂，而全电子计算由于对计算机硬件的要求十分苛刻，因而尚难以开展。因而国际上除了做了一些铀、钚化合物的物性研究外，几乎难以找到关于铀钚腐蚀机理的第一原理研究的报道。而用第一原理研究对于一些非镧、锕系元素，如硅、铜、钯等这种研究工作已经开展得很普遍，而且已经用于指导催化和腐蚀研究的实践工作。在LLUL钚科学在挑战专辑中，对于钚的基态性质，采用局域密度近似（简称LDA）和综合梯度近似方法简称GGA）进行了研究，
