However, to our knowledge, little is known about the effects of O- on cells of micro-organisms. This work showed that O- could quickly react with the Bacillus subtilis cells and seriously damage the cell walls a s well as their other contents, leading to a fast and irreversible inactivation. SEM micrographs revealed that the cell structures were dramatically destroyed by their exposure to O-. The inactivation efficiencies of B. subtilis depend on the O- intensity, the initial population of cells and the treatment temperature, but not on the pH in the range of our investigation. For a cell concentration of 10^6 cfu/ml, the number of survived cells dropped from 10^6 cfu/ml to 10^3 cfu/ml after about five-minute irradiation by an O- flux in an intensity of 233 nA/cm^2 under a dry argon environment （30 ℃, 1 atm, exposed size： 1.8 cm^2）.

We provides a novel approach to generate low-temperature atomic oxygen anions （O-） emission using the cesium oxide-doped 12CaO.7Al2O3 （Cs2O-doped C12A7）.

The maximal emission intensity of O- from the Cs2O-doped C12A7 at 700℃ and 800 V/cm reached about 0.54μA/cm2, which was about two times as strong as that from the un-doped C12A7 （0.23 μA/cm2） under the same condition. The initiative temperature of the O- emission from the Cs2O-doped C12A7 was about 500 ℃, which was also much lower than the initiative temperature from the un-doped C12A7 （570 ℃） in the given field of 800 V/cm. High pure O- emission close to 100% could be obtained from the Cs2O-doped C12A7 under the lower temperature （〈550℃）. The emission features of the Cs2O-doped C12A7, including the emission distribution, temperature effect, and emission branching ratio have been investigated in detail and compared with the un-doped C12A7. The structure and storage characteristics of the resulting material were also investigated via X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance. It was found that doping Cs2Oto C12A7 will lower the initiative emission temperature and enhance the emission intensity展开更多
