Electronic structure and magnetic coupling properties of Gd-doped AlN: first-principles calculations

In this work, the electronic structure and magnetic coupling properties of Gd doped AlN have been investigated using first-principles method. We found that in the AlN:Gd system, due to the s-f coupling allowed by the symmetry, the exchange splitting of the conduction band is much larger than that of the valence band, which makes the electron-mediated ferromagnetism possible in this material. This property is also confirmed by the energy differences between anti-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phase for Al14Gd2N16 with different concentrations of electrons (holes), as well as by the calculated exchange constants. The result indicates that Gd-doped AlN is a promising candidate for the applications in future spintronic devices.

Temperature-stimulated abnormal annealing of neutron-induced damage in high-resistivity silicon detectors

Neutron-irradiated high-resistivity silicon detectors have been subjected to elevated temperature annealing (ETA). It has been found that both detector full depletion voltage and leakage current exhibit abnormal annealing (or ''reverse annealing'') behaviour for highly irradiated detectors: increase with ETA. Laser induced current measurements indicate a net increase of acceptor type space charges associated with the full depletion voltage increase after ETA. Current deep level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS) and thermally stimulated current (TSC) data show that the dominant effect is the increase of a level at 0.39 eV below the conduction band (E(c) - 0.39 eV) or a level above the valence band (E(v) + 0.39 eV). Candidates tentatively identified for this level are the singly charged double vacancy (V-V-) level at E(c) - 0.39 eV, the carbon interstitial-oxygen interstitial (C-i-O-i) level at E(v) + 0.36 eV, and/or the tri-vacancy-oxygen center (V3O) at E(v) + 0.40 eV.

Temperature dependence of photoluminescence of flat and undulated SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells

Photoluminescence (PL) of strained SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells (MQW) with flat and undulated SiGe well layers was studied at different temperature. With elevated temperature from 10K, the no-phonon (NP) peak of the SiGe layers in the flat sample has firstly a blue shift due to the dominant transition converting from bound excitons (BE) to free excitons (FE), and then has a red shift when the temperature is higher than 30K because of the narrowing of the band gap. In the undulated sample, however, monotonous blue shift was observed as the temperature was elevated from 10 K to 287 K. The thermally activated electrons, confined in Si due to type-II band alignment, leak into the SiGe crest regions, and the leakage is enhanced with the elevated temperature. It results in a blue shift of the SiGe luminescence spectra.

运用含有偶氮苯的自组装单层膜在光化学条件下可逆地控制细胞黏附

细胞生物学研究的一个重要方向是动态地控制细胞在基底上的黏附。最近，随着表面化学的研究深入，尤其是对烷基硫醇在金基底上形成自组装单层膜（self-assembled monolayers, SAMs）这一体系的研究，使得人们能在分子水平的表面上控制细胞黏附。精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸（arginine-glycine-aspartate, RGD）序列首先是从细胞外基质蛋白中分离出来的，能够识别并非共价结合细胞膜表面的整合素受体，从而促进细胞黏附。以前的一些工作已经证实，将含有RGD的肽链连接到SAMs表面之后，能够生物特异性地黏附动物细胞。已有的手段比如光照、电压、加热、微电极、微流控以及表面纳米形貌的梯度变化，都不能真正实现可逆地控制细胞黏附，原因是这些方法所用的化学有限；这些方法也不能得到完全抗拒细胞黏附的表面，原因是这些方法产生的表面缺陷等不完整。用两种不同波长的光（紫外光和可见光）照射偶氮苯，偶氮苯会发生可逆的光致异构变化，因此，偶氮苯的光致异构性质可以用来可逆地控制细胞在表面黏附。运用含有偶氮苯的混合SAMs，偶氮苯的末端连接GRGDS肽，混合SAMs中是以末端为六聚乙二醇的硫醇为背景，该SAMs修饰而成的表面能够黏附或者抗拒细胞黏附，其表面黏附性质取决于SAMs中偶氮苯的构象。该方法提供了一种在分子水平的表面上我们所了解到的唯一能可逆控制细胞黏附的方法，该方法需要用到的光源来自于标准荧光显微镜所配置的汞灯。 为了实现在金基底表面可逆的控制细胞黏附，我们合成了如下三个化合物： 由于化合物1的溶解性很差，几乎在所有溶剂里都不溶，所以不能直接用化合物1制备SAMs；化合物2能高效地抗拒细胞的黏附；化合物3的偶氮苯末端是活化酯，能够连接GRGDS肽，从而控制细胞黏附。 将化合物2和化合物3以一定的比例均匀混合在金基底表面形成SAMs，然后将GRGDS肽连接到偶氮苯(反式)的末端（通过GRGDS肽的甘氨酸上的伯胺基与偶氮苯末端的活化酯反应），从而得到细胞黏附的表面。用紫外光照射该细胞黏附表面5-10小时，随着偶氮苯的构象由反式变为顺式，偶氮苯末端的GRGDS肽淹没在化合物2的六聚乙二醇中，得到抗拒细胞黏附的惰性表面。再用可见光照射该惰性表面1个小时，随着偶氮苯的构象由顺式变为反式，原先埋没在六聚乙二醇中的GRGDS肽伸展至单层膜的末端，又得到了细胞黏附的表面。因此，该表面能完全可逆地控制细胞在金表面黏附。 An important area in cell biology is the dynamic control of cell adhesion on substrates. Recent advancements in surface chemistry, in particular, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols on gold substrates, have permitted unprecedented control of cell adhesion via molecularly defined surfaces. The tri-peptide sequence arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD), initially isolated from the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, can recognize and non-covalently bind with integrin receptors on cell membranes to promote cell adhesion. Some previous work has demonstrated that RGD peptide grafted on SAMs can allow bio-specific adhesion of mammalian cells that mimic natural adhesion. Existing technologies such as light, voltage, heat, microelectrodes, microfluidic systems and surface gradient of nanotopography, either cannot realize fully reversible control of cell adhesion, due to the limitation in the chemistry used, or cannot yield a surface completely resistant against cell adhesion, due to the imperfection of surfaces. Azobenzenes undergo reversible photo-induced isomerization rapidly at two different wavelengths of light (UV and visible light), it therefore potentially allows the reversible control of cell adhesion on a surface. By using a mixed SAMs presenting azobenzene groups terminated in GRGDS peptides in a background of hexa(ethylene glycol) groups, the surface can either accommodate or resist cell adhesion depending on the conformation of the azobenzene embedded in SAMs. This method provides the only means we know to control cell adhesion reversibly on a molecularly well-defined surface by using light generated by a mercury lamp equipped on standard fluorescence microscopes. To realize the reversible control of cell adhesion on gold surface, we synthesized three kinds of compounds as following, We found that it was difficult to obtain SAMs directly from compound 1 because of its poor solubility in almost all kinds of solvents; compound 2 can resist cell adhesion efficiently; compound 3 presents an azobenzene terminated with NHS-activated ester, which can couple with a GRGDS peptide to control cell adhesion. After coating a gold surface with compound 2 and 3 in appropriate ratios to form a SAM followed by coupling the GRGDS peptides with NHS-activated esters at the end of azobenzene (E configuration) resulted in a cell-adhesive SAM. Irradiating this cell-adhesive SAM with UV light for 5-10 h converted the E configuration of azobenzene into the Z form, the GRGDS peptides becoming masked in the PEG, resulting in a cell-resistant surface. These SAM could again support cell adhesion as a result of the conformational switch of azobenzene from Z to E with the irradiation of visible light for 1 h. This surface, therefore, allows completely reversible control of cell adhesion on a gold surface.

Second, we fermented it in large quantities, and then centrifuged the fermentation fluid; the next step is that we extract sedimentation and supernatant in different polar organic solvents, in turn to obtained six samples, which were detected about anti-tumor activity. Last, we purified active sample and tracked activity of it. We carried out the following research work: 1. Activation, culture and screening of the actinomyces was carried on. We used the screening strain to carry on the fermentation when the conditions are 280C，200r.min-1,the fermentation time is 72h. Fermentation fluid volume is 15L.And we obtained sedimentation and supernatant after fermentation fluid was centrifuged. 2. We used Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol separately to extract sedimentation and supernatant, and obtained six samples that were numbered 1-6. From the preliminary cell toxicity and the anti-tumor（HepG2） bioactivity experiment, we found that No.5 sample has the highest activity in the samples; the GI50 was 0.76µg/ml which has not been purified. 3. We Carried on TLC experiment on the No.5 sample, found the solvent composition that can separate each component of the No.5 sample. At last, we found that when the proportions are tri-chloromethane: methyl alcohol = 8:1, the Separation result was the best, and then we used the Solvent composition which proportion are tri-chloromethane: methyl alcohol = 8:1 as eluant to Purify No.5 sample by silica gel column. 4.

We analyzed the Structure of A, and informed its molecular formula that was the most likely for C41H43N8O4.

Liquid-liquid extraction of Pa-233(V) with Aliquat 336

The extraction of protactinium with Aliquat 336 (methyl-tri-caprylyl ammonium chloride) in toluene, cyclohexane and chloroform from HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HF and mixed HCl-HF media was investigated by radioactive tracer technique. Distribution ratios of protactinium between the aqueous solution and the organic phase were determined as a function of shaking time, concentrations of acid in aqueous solution phase, extractant concentration and type of diluents in the organic phase. Aliquat 336 can almost quantitatively extract protactinium from strong HCl solution. At the same time, small amounts of HF in HCl solutions have a strong effect on Pa distribution.

Molecular dynamics and control following excitation with an ultra-short intense laser pulse

Vibronic excitations of the tri-atomic molecule OClO (A(2)A(2)(nu(1), nu(2), nu(3)) <-- (XB1)-B-2 (0, 0, 0)) with weak and strong ultra-short laser fields are studied within full quantum wavepacket dynamics in hyperspherical coordinates. Different dynamics is observed following excitation with laser pulses of different intensities. With a strong laser pulse, many vibrational states are excited and a spatially more localised wavepacket arises. The numerical results show that the population of different vibrational states of the wavepacket on the excited potential energy surface is altered by the intensity of the laser pulse. The numerical results also suggest a related effect on the phase of the wavepacket. These interesting phenomena can be understood by an analysis of the corresponding results for two model diatomic molecules. The possible physical mechanisms of control of chemical processes using strong laser fields are discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Separation of enantiomers of drugs by capillary electrophoresis with permethyl-gamma-cyclodextrin as chiral solvating agent

High-throughput screening is a promising new approach in analytical chemistry. Within the framework of an extended screening program (The German-Chinese Drug Screening Program), the enantioseparation of 86 drugs was investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis in the presence of the chiral solvating agent (CSA) octakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-gamma-cyclodextrin (TM-gamma-CD). By this means, 15 drugs could be separated into enantiomeric pairs. Approximate measures for the degree of interaction (migration retardation factor, R-m) and for the degree of enantiomer recognition (migration separation factors, alpha(m)) revealed intriguing patterns that were compared with those found for native gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD). Although there is a distinct influence of the analyte structure on the electrophoretic data, interpretation remains difficult. Most remarkably, permethylation of gamma-CD leads neither to a higher affinity nor to better chiral recognition, in contrast to the findings with alpha-CD.

Transient state of chiral recognition in a binary mixture of cyclodextrins in capillary electrophoresis

The transient state (as the defined point where no enantioseparation is obtained in a dual chiral selector system) of chiral recognition of aminoglutethimide in a binary mixture of neutral cyclodextrins (CDs) was studied by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The following three dual selector systems were used: alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD); alpha-CD and heptakis(di-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin) (DM-beta-CD); alpha-CD and heptakis(tri-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin) (TM-beta-CD). The S-(-) enantiomer of the analyte was more strongly retained in the presence of either alpha-CD or TM-beta-CD at pH 2.5, 100 mM phosphate buffer, while the R-(+) enantiomer was more strongly retained in the presence of either P-CD or DM-P-CD. In the more simple case, the elution order is invariably kept if the enantiomers have the same elution order in either one of the two hosts of the binary mixture. In contrast, the elution order may be switched by varying the concentration ratio of two hosts that produce opposite elution order for this particular analyte. In such a dual selector system, the enantioselectivity will disappear at the transient state at a certain ratio of host,:host, Moreover, the migration times of the two enantiomers with host, alone (diluted in buffer) is approximately equal to the migration times at the corresponding concentration of host, alone (diluted in buffer), where the ratio of concentrations of host,:host, is the same as in the binary mixture at the transient state. As found by nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, the analyte is forming a 1:1 complex with either one of the CDs applied. From this finding, a theoretical model based on the mobility difference of the two enantiomers was derived that was used to simulate the transient state. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
