Single chain force spectroscopy - Reading the sequence of HP protein models

We study the elastic properties of single A/B random copolymer chains, with a specific sequence and use them as theoretical model for so called HP proteins. HP proteins carry hydrophilic (P) and hydrophobic (H) monomers. We predict a rich structure in the force-extension relations which can be attributed to the information in the sequence. The variational method is used to probe local minima on the path of stretching and releasing for the chain molecules. At a given force, we find multiple configurations which are separated by energy barriers. A collapsed globular configuration consists of several domains which unravel cooperatively. Upon stretching, the unfolding path shows a stepwise pattern corresponding to the unfolding of each domain. While releasing, several cores can be created simultaneously in the middle of the chain, resulting in a different path of collapse. The long-range interactions and stiffness of the chain simplify the potential landscape given by the disorder in sequence.

Fluctuation kinetics of diffusion-controlled processes: Strong effects due to correlations and fluctuations

We summarize some recent results related to fluctuation-induced kinetics of diffusion-controlled processes. We show that kinetic behavior can be drastically changed due to fluctuation effects, spatial correlations between particles, and anomalous transport properties. In addition, we show that correlation-induced kinetics in some systems can govern the temporal evolution over the entire time domain.     

Pr0.15TbxDy0.85-xFe2 内禀磁致伸缩的测量

对稀土金属间Laves相赝二元化合物进行X射线衍射分析。其(440)峰出现劈裂，由(440)峰劈裂的程度可以确定内禀磁致伸缩的大小。本文采用X射线衍射的方法对Pr0．15TbxDy0．85-xFe2系列粉末样品的(440)峰步进扫描，并对扫描结果进行拟合，对拟合得到的两组双线峰之间的间距计算得到内禀磁致伸缩λ111,拟合曲线与实验点符合很好，结果表明Pr0．15TbxDy0．85-xFe2的内禀磁致伸缩随Tb含量的增加而增加，并且用0．15的Pr替代Dy后，在x=0．3时，Pr0．15TbxDy0．85-xFe2的内禀磁致伸缩λ111比Tb0.27Dy0.73Fe2的内禀磁致伸缩λ1ll大。     

块状LaNi5基纳米合金的正电子湮灭研究

利用高温高压技术，在不同的压力和温度(-4．5GPa，-800℃)下将LaNi5基快淬合金粉直接压制成了块状纳米晶合金。X射线衍射分析表明，高压使其晶粒内部发生了明显的压致晶粒碎化，其平均晶粒尺寸在4．5GPa下从75．5nm降至24．6nm。利用正电子湮灭技术研究了这种晶粒碎化效应对纳米合金内部缺陷结构的影响。测试结果表明，在高温高压的作用下，由于界面上原子的迁移和弛豫加剧，导致晶界上尺寸较大的微孔隙缺陷逐渐转化为尺寸较小的自由体积缺陷，使得纳米合金的致密度逐渐增强，显微硬度逐渐升高，从而在高温高压下得到致密的块状纳米合金材料。     

Synthetic studies of proanthocyanidins. Part 3: Stereoselective 3,4-cis catechin and catechin condensation by TMSOTf-catalyzed intramolecular coupling method

TMSOTf-catalyzed intramolecular condensation for catechin and epicatechin units are described. A potential electrophile and a nucleophile were connected with diester linkers and TMSOTf-catalyzed condensation was examined. In comparison with intermolecular catechin and catechin condensation, the intramolecular condensation required high reaction temperature and reversed 3,4-cis product was obtained. The condensed product was transformed into the natural 3,4-cis (+)-catechin-(4β→8)-(+)-catechin dimer.
