Design of polymeric stabilizers for size-controlled synthesis of monodisperse gold nanoparticles in water

A new methodology is described for the one-step aqueous preparation of highly monodisperse gold nanoparticles with diameters below 5 nm using thioether- and thiol-functionalized polymer ligands. The particle size and size distribution was controlled by subtle variation of the polymer structure. It was shown that poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were the most effective stabilizing polymers in the group studied and that relatively low molar mass ligands (similar to 2500 g/mol) gave rise to the narrowest particle size distributions. Particle uniformity and colloidal stability to changes in ionic strength and pH were strongly affected by the hydrophobicity of the ligand end group. "Multidentate" thiol-terminated ligands were produced by employing dithiols and tetrathiols as chain-transfer agents, and these ligands gave rise to particles with unprecedented control over particle size and enhanced colloidal stability. It was found throughout that dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a very useful corroboratory technique for characterization of these gold nanoparticles in addition to optical spectroscopy and TEM.

U原子光电离截面的理论计算

本文给出了U原子的HFS和Cooper势外壳层光电离截面的计算方法和计算结果。因为我们所编的Cooper模型势程序给出了从特定组态的某一个光谱项光电离的截面值,所以能将壳层相同、而所处的能级位置和光谱项不同的原子光电离截面值区别开。
