Formation of ST12 phase Ge nanoparticles in ZnO thin films

In this work, we focus on the Ge nanoparticles (Ge-np) embedded ZnO multilayered thin films. Effects of reactive and nonreactive growth of ZnO layers on the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) induced formation of Ge-np have been specifically investigated. The samples were deposited by sequential r.f. and d.c. sputtering of ZnO and Ge thin film layers, respectively on Si substrates. As-prepared thin film samples have been exposed to an ex-situ RTA at 600 °C for 60 s under forming gas atmosphere. Structural characterizations have been performed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. It has been realized that reactive or nonreactive growth of ZnO layers significantly influences the morphology of the ZnO: Ge samples, most prominently the crystal structure of Ge-np. XRD and Raman analysis have revealed that while reactive growth results in a mixture of diamond cubic (DC) and simple tetragonal (ST12) Ge-np, nonreactive growth leads to the formation of only DC Ge-np upon RTA process. Formation of ST12 Ge-np has been discussed based on structural differences due to reactive and nonreactive growth of ZnO embedding layer.

Characterization of the Functional Cross-Talk between Surface GABAA and Dopamine D5 Receptors

The γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABA_AR) plays a major role in fast inhibitory synaptic transmission and is highly regulated by the neuromodulator dopamine. In this aspect, most of the attention has been focused on the classical intracellular signaling cascades following dopamine G-protein-coupled receptor activation. Interestingly, the GABA_AR and dopamine D5 receptor (D5R) have been shown to physically interact in the hippocampus, but whether a functional cross-talk occurs is still debated. In the present study, we use a combination of imaging and single nanoparticle tracking in live hippocampal neurons to provide evidence that GABA_ARs and D5Rs form dynamic surface clusters. Disrupting the GABA_AR–D5R interaction with a competing peptide leads to an increase in the diffusion coefficient and the explored area of both receptors, and a drop in immobile synaptic GABA_ARs. By means of patch-clamp recordings, we show that this fast lateral redistribution of surface GABA_ARs correlates with a robust depression in the evoked GABAergic currents. Strikingly, it also shifts in time the expression of long-term potentiation at glutamatergic synapses. Together, our data both set the plasma membrane as the primary stage of a functional interplay between GABA_AR and D5R, and uncover a non-canonical role in regulating synaptic transmission.     

丁基罗丹明B-AuI4-缔合纳米粒子体系的极谱猝灭效应研究

在0．1mol／LH2SO4介质中，丁基罗丹明B(RBB)在-0．59伏产生1个单扫描极谱峰。当有AuI^-4存在时，AuI^-4与RBB^ 主要通过静电引力形成疏水性的AuI4—2RBB缔合物分子。AuI4—2RBB存在较强的分子间作用力和疏水作用力而生成紫红色的(AuI4—RBB)n纳米微粒，在470nm处产生1个瑞利散射峰，在610nm处产生1个共振瑞利散射峰；而在-0．59伏处的极谱峰降低。这是由于该紫红色复合纳米微粒形成所致。当纳米微粒体系加入乙醇后，体系的瑞利散射峰和共振瑞利散射峰消失，极谱峰、同步荧光峰和颜色恢复，由于乙醇而致使紫红色的(AuI4-RBB)n纳米微粒分解为红色AuI4—RBB分子。研究结果表明，紫红色(AuI4-RBB)。纳米粒子的形成是其极谱猝灭和共振瑞利散射效应的根本原因。
