The reaction happens in the interface of benzene and aqueous solution at the room temperature. After 5 h of UV-light exposure, 11.4% of initial amount of 4.4 g （5.0 mL） benzene are converted to biphenyl and sodium benzoate, which are distributed in benzene and aqueous solution, respectively. Using density function theory （DFT） and time dependent DFT, we have investigated the mechanism of this light-induced reaction, and found that the sodium carbonate is not only a reactant for the formation of sodium benzoate, but also a catalyst for the formation of biphenyl.展开更多

It was found that there is a strong interaction at the interface between the RhTSPc film and p-Si (111) and that the surface photovoltaic effect of the film system is maximum when only one monolayer of RhTSPc molecules coats p-Si(111), which is similar to that of CuTSPc films on p-Si(111) reported previously. These results confirm that only the monolayer of dye molecules being adjacent to the semiconductor surface plays a key role in the light-induced interfacial charge transfer process.展开更多

Then, the effect of interaction is evaluated numerically via a two-body system. Two cases are considered： （i） Starting from a ground state the evolution is induced by a sudden change of the laser field, and （ii） the evolution starting from a superposition state. Oscillating persistent spin-currents have been found. A set of formulae have been derived to describe the period and amplitude of the oscillation. Based on these formulae the oscillation can be well controlled via adjusting the parameters of the laser beams. In particular, it is predicted that movable stripes might emerge on the ring.展开更多

Low-intensity visible light connected to a highly sensitive FTIR spectrometer is more advantageous for studying any samples, including biological samples without any damage. This technique permits obtaining unique information on the molecule structure via vibrational excitation fundamental frequencies, overtones, and combination modes. It also enables a direct observation of vibrational radiation transitions in vibrationally excited molecules as well as the channels of vibration energy redistribution, which is not allowed with any other method. In this work, the LIRES is being tested as a technique for studying of vibrationally-excited molecules of carbon tetrachloride and benzene in the liquid phase. On the other hand, using transparent liquids, we had tried to understand some of the physical phenomena that can drive emission in mid-IR. The characteristics of the infrared emission of both liquid species produced by different wavelength radiation from various types of light systems (100 - watt Xe-lamp and Nd:YAG laser;lambda = 1064 nm (8 mW) and lambda = 532 nm (4 mW)) are presented. We demonstrated that the IR-signal, as well as spectral properties of carbon tetrachloride and benzene, was dependent on the wavelength and power of excitation beam. Results obtained with different light sources show that the visible light produces a nonlinear IR-emission signal in transparent liquids. We believe that the visible light is the source of the nonlinear response and is producing the vibration excitation as well as photostimulated transformations of the molecules possessing the high activity for the nonlinear response.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antidemineralization effect of PRG Barrier Coat<sup>®</sup> and FujiVII<sup>®</sup> (fluoride-releasing dental materials). Four square windows measuring 1 mm<sup>2</sup> were prepared on the labial enamel surface of each bovine tooth using masking tape and nail varnish. The first and second windows were half covered by fluoride-releasing material and control material, respectively, whereas the third and fourth windows were left untreated. All windows were immersed into 0.1 M lactic acid and 6wt% CM-cellulose (pH 4.5) at 38℃ for 21 days. Subsequently, the first and second windows were covered with nail varnish after removal of the materials, and the third and fourth windows were immersed into ultrapure water at 38℃ for 28 days after being half covered with fluoride-releasing and control materials, respectively. The following procedure was performed separately during evaluations of the fluoride-releasing materials, PRG Barrier Coat, and FujiVII<sup>®</sup>, using eight and six bovine teeth, respectively. The first, second, third, and fourth windows were classified into DM-PRG;Demineralized-PRG or DM-FujiVII;Demineralized-FujiVII, DM-TCM;Demineralized-traditional cement or DM-TGIC;De-mineralized-traditional glass ionomer cement, RM-PRG;Remineralized-PRG or RM-FujiVII;Re-mineralized-FujiVII, and RM-TCM;Remineralized- traditional cement or RM-TGIC;Remineral-ized-traditional glass ionomer cement, respectively. After nail varnish was removed, △Q values (mean ± SD) of the windows were measured using QLF-D and were compared between DM-PRG and DM-TCM, RM-PRG and RM-TCM, DM-FujiVII and DM-TGIC, and RM-FujiVII and RM-TGIC groups. △Q values of RM-PRG (-60 ± 44) and RM-FujiVII (-5.0 ± 10) were significantly higher than that of RM-TCM (-315 ± 193) and RM-TGIC (-56 ± 43), respectively. The fluoride releasing materials provided remineralization effects to bovine enamel.展开更多

The space distribution of electric field and dielectrophoresis forces in different heights were also obtained. On this basis, the core component of the micro manipulation system, that is, photoconductive layer of the chip, was completed in the mate-rial selection, fabricating process and performance analysis testing. Then the voltage drop of the sus-pension and the effective voltage frequency spectrum were obtained. Finally, by combining the machine vision detection with real-time tracking system, the micro/nano bio-particles manipulation platform based on the light-induced dielectrophoreisis was established, and then the manipulations for micro/nano bio-particles, such as quick collection, transport, separation, were implemented. This provided a basis for rapid, accurate, and low-cost detection of serious diseases based on the micro-fluidic biochip and early diagnosis.展开更多

Experimental results showed that the intensi-ty level of photon emission was detected to be higher from intact brain than from the medium in which the brain was immerged during measuring, and the emission intensity was related to the developmental stages, the healthy situation of the measured embryos, and the freshness of isolated brains as well. After white light illumination, a short-life de-layed emission from intact brains was observed, and its relaxation behavior followed a hyperbolic rather than an expo-nential law. According to the hypothesis of biophoton emission originating from a delocalized coherent electromagnetic field and Frohlich's idea of coherent long-range interactions in biological systems, discussions were made on the signifi-cance of photon emission in studying cell communication, biological regulation, living system's relevance to its environ-ment, and also on the relations between the detected photon emission and the coherent electromagnetic field. The de-tected photon emission should be comprehended in the manner of the interactions between the intrinsic fields within the living systems and their environmental external fields.展开更多

Methods： Twenty-eight Chinchilla rabbits were randomly divided into four groups： administration beforehand （A）, administration after injury （B）, light injury without administration （C）, and blank （D） groups. After a 4-week administration of VU homogenate at 4.8 g/（kg.d） once a day in group A, ERG in groups A, B and C were recorded according to the standards set by the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision （ISCEV）. Except for group D, the groups were then exposed to strong light. Just after that, group A stopped receiving VU treatment and group B started to receive it. Then ERGs in all groups were recorded after 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks. Throughout the whole process groups which were not fed with VU were fed with normal saline. Finally, the tissues and structures of all the groups were observed and the thickness of the outer nuclear layers （ONL） was measured. Results： （1） After 4-week feeding with VU, the latency time of ERG in group A became shorter than those in the other groups and the amplitude increased. After being exposed to strong light, the latency time lengthened and amplitude decreased in all the injury groups, but comparing at each time point, the measured values in group A were better than those in group C. With the accumulation of VU, the ERG in group B improved, and finally, all of the detected values became better than those in group C. （2） Retinae in group D were normal in histology and the layers were in order but those in group C became disarranged. The injudes in groups A and B were minor compared with those in group C. The thickness of the ONL in group C was significantly thinner than in the other groups （all P=0.000）, and that in groups A and B was thicker than that in group C, although thinner than in group D. That in group A was thicker than in group B. Conclusions： VU can relieve the injury to rabbit retinae exposed to normal day and night rhythm, alleviate the harm caused by light when used beforehand, and repair the light damage to the retina.展开更多

It is found that in such LCEs, material parameters such as the Young’s modulus and the stress-free strains will become nonhomogeneous under light irradiations. One may call them the light-induced functionally gradient materials. Analytical expressions for the dependence of the material parameters on the space varia- ble and possibly on the time variable are obtained. Exponential dependence can be derived under certain approximations. As an example, the light-induced bending of a beam is studied. Two neutral planes are found in the beam. Thus, along the thickness of the beam, there are extensions in the upper and lower parts and contractions in the middle.展开更多

Based on these formulae the oscillation can be well controlled via adjusting the parameters of the laser beams. In particular, it is predicted that movable stripes might emerge on the ring.

Objective: To evaluate advantages of introducing quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D) in school oral examinations. Methods: Experiment No. 1. Early demineralized lesions in the upper and lower incisors and canines were visually inspected by three dentists and by QLF-D. The numbers of tooth planes with early demineralized lesions were compared between the methods. Experiment No. 2. Approximal demineralized lesions in molars were assessed by visual inspection, x-ray imaging, and QLF-D. The numbers of tooth planes with demineralized lesions were compared among the methods. Experiment No. 3. Plaque distribution was evaluated by QLF-D and a traditional staining method. The ratio of the diameter of plaque to tooth crown in the tooth axis direction in each method was calculated. The results were evaluated by Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis and Bland-Altman plot. Results: Experiment No. 1. The three dentists found 0.67 tooth planes on average. QLF-D found 22 tooth planes with early demineralized lesions in the same samples. Experiment No. 2. Fourteen approximal tooth planes of molars were found to have demineralized lesions by x-ray imaging. QLF-D detected 71.4% of the tooth planes out of the 14, whereas visual inspection found 7.1%. Experiment No. 3. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient for the evaluations of plaque distribution between the QLF-D and traditional staining methods was 0.77 (P Conclusion: The results support introduction of QLF-D for use in school dental examinations.
文摘Light-induced infrared emission spectroscopy (LIRES) is a novel technique that permits to receive high-quality spectra in the mid-infrared region. Low-intensity visible light connected to a highly sensitive FTIR spectrometer is more advantageous for studying any samples, including biological samples without any damage. This technique permits obtaining unique information on the molecule structure via vibrational excitation fundamental frequencies, overtones, and combination modes. It also enables a direct observation of vibrational radiation transitions in vibrationally excited molecules as well as the channels of vibration energy redistribution, which is not allowed with any other method. In this work, the LIRES is being tested as a technique for studying of vibrationally-excited molecules of carbon tetrachloride and benzene in the liquid phase. On the other hand, using transparent liquids, we had tried to understand some of the physical phenomena that can drive emission in mid-IR. The characteristics of the infrared emission of both liquid species produced by different wavelength radiation from various types of light systems (100 - watt Xe-lamp and Nd:YAG laser;lambda = 1064 nm (8 mW) and lambda = 532 nm (4 mW)) are presented. We demonstrated that the IR-signal, as well as spectral properties of carbon tetrachloride and benzene, was dependent on the wavelength and power of excitation beam. Results obtained with different light sources show that the visible light produces a nonlinear IR-emission signal in transparent liquids. We believe that the visible light is the source of the nonlinear response and is producing the vibration excitation as well as photostimulated transformations of the molecules possessing the high activity for the nonlinear response.
文摘As erosion has become one of the serious oral health problems, some fluoride-releasing dental materials have been developed to protect enamel from demineralization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antidemineralization effect of PRG Barrier Coat<sup>®</sup> and FujiVII<sup>®</sup> (fluoride-releasing dental materials). Four square windows measuring 1 mm<sup>2</sup> were prepared on the labial enamel surface of each bovine tooth using masking tape and nail varnish. The first and second windows were half covered by fluoride-releasing material and control material, respectively, whereas the third and fourth windows were left untreated. All windows were immersed into 0.1 M lactic acid and 6wt% CM-cellulose (pH 4.5) at 38℃ for 21 days. Subsequently, the first and second windows were covered with nail varnish after removal of the materials, and the third and fourth windows were immersed into ultrapure water at 38℃ for 28 days after being half covered with fluoride-releasing and control materials, respectively. The following procedure was performed separately during evaluations of the fluoride-releasing materials, PRG Barrier Coat, and FujiVII<sup>®</sup>, using eight and six bovine teeth, respectively. The first, second, third, and fourth windows were classified into DM-PRG;Demineralized-PRG or DM-FujiVII;Demineralized-FujiVII, DM-TCM;Demineralized-traditional cement or DM-TGIC;De-mineralized-traditional glass ionomer cement, RM-PRG;Remineralized-PRG or RM-FujiVII;Re-mineralized-FujiVII, and RM-TCM;Remineralized- traditional cement or RM-TGIC;Remineral-ized-traditional glass ionomer cement, respectively. After nail varnish was removed, △Q values (mean ± SD) of the windows were measured using QLF-D and were compared between DM-PRG and DM-TCM, RM-PRG and RM-TCM, DM-FujiVII and DM-TGIC, and RM-FujiVII and RM-TGIC groups. △Q values of RM-PRG (-60 ± 44) and RM-FujiVII (-5.0 ± 10) were significantly higher than that of RM-TCM (-315 ± 193) and RM-TGIC (-56 ± 43), respectively. The fluoride releasing materials provided remineralization effects to bovine enamel.

文摘Light-induced conical intersections(LICIs)present a distinctive mechanism for nonadiabatic coupling,thereby facilitating ultrafast chemical reactions,including the indirect photodissociation of diatomic molecules.In contrast to static conical intersections,LICIs are dynamically tunable,providing a pathway for precise control of molecular dissociation.In this study,we employ the time-dependent quantum wave packet method to investigate the dissociation dynamics of the OH molecule,focusing on its ground state X^(2)Πand repulsive state 1^(2)Σ~-.By varying laser field parameters(intensity,full width at half maximum(FWHM),and wavelength),we elucidate how nonadiabatic coupling governs selective dissociation channel control.Our findings reveal that the choice of initial vibrational states and the tailoring of laser conditions significantly influence dissociation pathways,providing theoretical insights into manipulating molecular dynamics via LICIs.These results provide a foundation for future experimental studies and the development of advanced molecular control techniques.

文摘According to the equivalent circuit model(ECM),finite element model(FEM) and physical experiment,the LIDEP force induced by the spatial variations of the phase of AC electric fields produced by the bright and dark regions on the photoconductive layer was demonstrated.Besides,the phenomenon of the light-induced electro-rotation(LIER) caused by the light-induced rotating electric field was confirmed numerically and experimentally for the first time.It may be helpful to go out of the dilemma that only the dipole moment model,based on the effect of light-induced partial potentials,can be used for LIDEP theoretical calculation currently.Through the FEM simulation and the electro-rotating experiment of yeast cells,it was found that the direction of yeast's LIER is relevant to the distance between its location and the edge of optical electrode,and the spin velocity of LIER is inversely proportional to that distance.Nevertheless,the LIER torques in the three-electrode mode show a non-uniform distribution where the LIDEP forces are harmful for a particle spinning stably around a fixed axis.Moreover,a four-electrode double-layer mode was proposed for the first time and the finite element simulation results agreed with the expected design,suggesting a new way for the dielectric spectrum measurement based on LIER.

文摘On the basis of the research on the status and problems of micro/nano bio-particles manipulation using dielectrophoresis, the theoretical basis and the model simulation of micro/nano bio-particles manipu-lation using light-induced dielectrophoresis were discussed. The space distribution of electric field and dielectrophoresis forces in different heights were also obtained. On this basis, the core component of the micro manipulation system, that is, photoconductive layer of the chip, was completed in the mate-rial selection, fabricating process and performance analysis testing. Then the voltage drop of the sus-pension and the effective voltage frequency spectrum were obtained. Finally, by combining the machine vision detection with real-time tracking system, the micro/nano bio-particles manipulation platform based on the light-induced dielectrophoreisis was established, and then the manipulations for micro/nano bio-particles, such as quick collection, transport, separation, were implemented. This provided a basis for rapid, accurate, and low-cost detection of serious diseases based on the micro-fluidic biochip and early diagnosis.

文摘Photon emission (PE) and light-induced photon emission(LPE) of intact brains isolated from chick embryos have been measured by using the single photon counting device. Experimental results showed that the intensi-ty level of photon emission was detected to be higher from intact brain than from the medium in which the brain was immerged during measuring, and the emission intensity was related to the developmental stages, the healthy situation of the measured embryos, and the freshness of isolated brains as well. After white light illumination, a short-life de-layed emission from intact brains was observed, and its relaxation behavior followed a hyperbolic rather than an expo-nential law. According to the hypothesis of biophoton emission originating from a delocalized coherent electromagnetic field and Frohlich's idea of coherent long-range interactions in biological systems, discussions were made on the signifi-cance of photon emission in studying cell communication, biological regulation, living system's relevance to its environ-ment, and also on the relations between the detected photon emission and the coherent electromagnetic field. The de-tected photon emission should be comprehended in the manner of the interactions between the intrinsic fields within the living systems and their environmental external fields.

文摘Organic-inorganic hybrid two-dimensional(2D)ruddlesden-popper(RP)perovskites with fantastic optoelectronic properties and good stability have attracted tremendous attention for the potential applications in photovoltaics and electroluminescence.Recently,a new allinorganic Cs2PbI2Cl22D perovskite has been proposed with excellent excitonic absorption and improved ambient and thermal stability.Herein,an interesting light-induced phase transition and photochromism in the Cs2PbI2Cl2were reported.Under low fluence light pumping,the room temperature photoluminescence(PL)of Cs2PbI2Cl2is dominated by a weak violet excitonic emission peaked at 412 nm.Surprisingly,the emission color gradually changes from violet to bright red while increasing the laser pumping fluence.This photochromic effect is determined to be caused by forming CsPbI3phase within the Cs2PbI2Cl2crystals,which is efficiently driven by thermal energy.Due to protection by the Cs2PbI2Cl2matrix,the embedded CsPbI3nanocrystals show improved stability than standard pure CsPbI3.Therefore,the Cs2PbI2Cl2perovskite with photochromic feature may find applications in optical encryption,as preliminarily shown in this work.
文摘Objective： To study the effect of Vaccinium uliginosum L., （VU） on the electroretinogram （ERG） and retinal pathological changes in rabbits after light-induced damage. Methods： Twenty-eight Chinchilla rabbits were randomly divided into four groups： administration beforehand （A）, administration after injury （B）, light injury without administration （C）, and blank （D） groups. After a 4-week administration of VU homogenate at 4.8 g/（kg.d） once a day in group A, ERG in groups A, B and C were recorded according to the standards set by the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision （ISCEV）. Except for group D, the groups were then exposed to strong light. Just after that, group A stopped receiving VU treatment and group B started to receive it. Then ERGs in all groups were recorded after 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks. Throughout the whole process groups which were not fed with VU were fed with normal saline. Finally, the tissues and structures of all the groups were observed and the thickness of the outer nuclear layers （ONL） was measured. Results： （1） After 4-week feeding with VU, the latency time of ERG in group A became shorter than those in the other groups and the amplitude increased. After being exposed to strong light, the latency time lengthened and amplitude decreased in all the injury groups, but comparing at each time point, the measured values in group A were better than those in group C. With the accumulation of VU, the ERG in group B improved, and finally, all of the detected values became better than those in group C. （2） Retinae in group D were normal in histology and the layers were in order but those in group C became disarranged. The injudes in groups A and B were minor compared with those in group C. The thickness of the ONL in group C was significantly thinner than in the other groups （all P=0.000）, and that in groups A and B was thicker than that in group C, although thinner than in group D. That in group A was thicker than in group B. Conclusions： VU can relieve the injury to rabbit retinae exposed to normal day and night rhythm, alleviate the harm caused by light when used beforehand, and repair the light damage to the retina.

文摘The recently reported opto-mechanical effect of some photochromic liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) is studied. It is found that in such LCEs, material parameters such as the Young’s modulus and the stress-free strains will become nonhomogeneous under light irradiations. One may call them the light-induced functionally gradient materials. Analytical expressions for the dependence of the material parameters on the space varia- ble and possibly on the time variable are obtained. Exponential dependence can be derived under certain approximations. As an example, the light-induced bending of a beam is studied. Two neutral planes are found in the beam. Thus, along the thickness of the beam, there are extensions in the upper and lower parts and contractions in the middle.
