Cooling Mechanism

Abstract Hot electrons can dramatically improve the efficiency of solar cells and sensitize energetically-demanding photochemical reactions. Efficient hot electron devices have been hindered by sub-picosecond intraband cooling of hot electrons in typical semiconductors via electron-phonon scattering. Semiconductor quantum dots were predicted to exhibit a “phonon bottleneck” for hot electron relaxation as their quantum-confined electrons would couple very inefficiently to phonons. However, typical cadmium selenide dots still exhibit sub-picosecond hot electron cooling, bypassing the phonon bottleneck possibly via an Auger-like process whereby the excessive energy of the hot electron is transferred to the hole. Here we demonstrate this cooling mechanism can be suppressed in copper-doped cadmium selenide colloidal quantum dots due to femtosecond hole capturing by copper-dopants. As a result, we observe a lifetime of ~8.6 picosecond for 1Pe hot electrons which is more than 30-fold longer than that in same-sized, undoped dots (~0.25 picosecond).

ABSTRACTWe have explored the possibility of fabricating a metal base transistor in the Si/CoSi2 material system. Utilizing recent advances in the growth of thin, pinhole free, CoSi2 layers on Si(111) we have measured the transistor characteristics of a Si/CoSi2/Si structure. The observed low common emitter current gain is attributed to an absence of current carrying states in the CoSi2 transistor base.

Diazo compounds have proven to be a useful class of carbenes or metal carbenoids sources under thermal, photochemical, or metal-catalyzed conditions, which can subsequently undergo a wide range of synthetically important transformations. Recently, asymmetric photocatalysis has provoked increasing research interests, and great advances have been made in this discipline towards the synthesis of optically enriched compounds. In this context, the past two decades have been the most productive period in the developments of enantioselective photochemical reactions of diazo compounds due to a better understanding of the reactivities of diazo compounds and the emergence of new catalytic modes, as well as easier access to and treatment of stabilized diazo compounds. This review highlights these impressive achievements according to the reaction type, and the general mechanisms and stereochemical inductions are briefly discussed as well.

Major Progress

The use CCD detectors has allowed a major progress in abundance derivations for globular cluster stars in the last years. Abundances deduced from high dispersion spectra now correlates well with other abundance indicators. I discuss some problems concerning the derivation of accurate metal abundances for globular clusters using high dispersion spectra from both the old photographic and the most recent CCD data. The discrepant low abundances found by Cohen (1980), from photographic material for M71 giants, are found to be due to the use of too high microturbulences.

Chromatin Structure And Dynamics

In the 30 years since the discovery of the nucleosome, our picture of it has come into sharp focus. The recent high-resolution structures have provided a wealth of insight into the function of the nucleosome, but they are inherently static. Our current knowledge of how nucleosomes can be reconfigured dynamically is at a much earlier stage. Here, recent advances in the understanding of chromatin structure and dynamics are highlighted. The ways in which different modes of nucleosome reconfiguration are likely to influence each other are discussed, and some of the factors likely to regulate the dynamic properties of nucleosomes are considered.
