چکیده

We demonstrate that thiouredopyrene-3,6,8-trisulfonate (TUPS), a photoactivatable reagent, can rapidly inject electrons into complex redox enzymes, enabling studies of the kinetics of internal electron that are not accessible using conventional rapid mixing, stopped-flow methods.

Negative electron binding energies observed in a triply charged anion: photoelectron spectroscopy of 1-hydroxy-3,6,8-pyrene-trisulfonate.

We report the observation of negative electron binding energies (BEs) in a triply charged anion, 1-hydroxy-3,6,8-pyrene-trisulfonate (HPTS(3-)). Low-temperature photoelectron spectra were obtained for HPTS(3-) at several photon energies, revealing three detachment features below 0 electron BE. The HPTS(3-) trianion was measured to possess a negative BE of -0.66 eV. Despite the relatively high e...

Self-Consistent Analysis of Barrier Characterization Effects on Quantum Well Laser Internal Performance

In this paper, a numerical study of barrier characterization effects on the high-temperature internal performance of an InGaAsP multi-quantum well laser is presented. The softwareused for this purpose self-consistently combines the three-dimensional simulation of carrier transports, self-heating, and optical waveguiding. The laser model calculates all relevant physical mechanisms, including the...

Influence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposite Materials under Ultrafast Pulse Laser Excitation

Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...

Multi-boiling Heat Transfer Analysis of a Convective Straight Fin with Temperature-Dependent Thermal Properties and Internal Heat Generation

In this study, by using the finite volume method, the heat transfer in a convective straight fin with temperature-dependent thermal properties and an internal heat generation under multi-boiling heat transfer modes are analyzed. In this regard, the local heat transfer coefficient is considered to vary within a power-law function of temperature. In the present study, the coexistence of all the b...
