The present research reports the efficient synthesis of mono- and di-(aminophenyl)porphyrins and their metalation with Zn(II) using microwave irradiation. The subsequent reaction of amino-functionalized porphyrins with siloxane moieties bearing epoxy or carboxyl functional groups provided four new porphyrin-modified siloxanes. The structure of the resulting derivatives was established by 1H-NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS. The optical properties of the porphyrin chromophores were preserved, as proven by comparing the absorption and emission spectra of the initial porphyrins to those of the porphyrin-modified siloxanes.

ABSTRACT In this study, we explore the impact of inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution of interstellar dust on spatial scales of ≤1 au caused by ion shadowing forces on the optical properties of diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) as well as on the dust temperature. We show that recently proposed possibility that interstellar dust grains in the diffuse ISM are grouped in spherical cloudlets (clumps) may significantly affect the observed optical properties of the diffuse ISM in comparison to that calculated under the commonly accepted assumption on the uniform dust/gas mixture if the size of clumps ≳0.1 au. We found that opacity of an arbitrary region of diffuse ISM quickly decreases with growth of dusty clumps. We also studied the dependence of opacity and dust temperature inside the dusty clumps on their size. We show that the clumps larger than 0.1 au are opaque for far-ultraviolet radiation. Dust temperature exhibits a gradient inside a clump, decreasing from the edge to the centre by several degrees for a clump of a size of 0.1 au and larger. We argue that dust temperatures and high opacity within clumps larger than 0.1 au may facilitate somewhat more efficient synthesis of molecules on surfaces of interstellar grains in the diffuse ISM than it was anticipated previously. On the other hand, the presence of clumps with sizes below 0.1 au makes small or negligible influence on the optical properties of the diffuse ISM in comparison to the case with uniform dust/gas mixture.

Developement of computer technology provides much improvements on electron microscopy, such as simulation of images, reconstruction of images and automatic controll of microscopes (auto-focussing and auto-correction of astigmatism) and design of electron microscope lenses by using a finite element method (FEM). In this investigation, procedures for simulating the optical properties of objective lenses of HREM and the characteristics of the new lens for HREM at 200 kV are described.The process for designing the objective lens is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the process for estimating the optical properties of the lens. Firstly, calculation by FEM is made for simulating the axial magnetic field distributions Bzc of the lens. Secondly, electron ray trajectory is numerically calculated by using Bzc. And lastly, using Bzc and ray trajectory, spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients Cs and Cc are numerically calculated. Above calculations are repeated by changing the shape of lens until! to find an optimum aberration coefficients.

The electron accelerator, as inserted between the electron source (injector) and the imaging column of the HVEM, is usually a strong lens and should be optimized in order to ensure high brightness over a wide range of accelerating voltages and illuminating conditions. This is especially true in the case of the STEM where the brightness directly determines the highest resolution attainable. In the past, the optical behavior of accelerators was usually determined for a particular configuration. During the development of the accelerator for the Arizona 1 MEV STEM, systematic investigation was made of the major optical properties for a variety of electrode configurations, number of stages N, accelerating voltages, 1 and 10 MEV, and a range of injection voltages ϕ0 = 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 kV).
