- Using 14M psi(2S) events taken with the BESII detector, chi(cJ) -> 2(K+K-) decays are studied. For the four-kaon final state, the branching fractions are B(chi(c0,1,2) ->.2(K+K-)) = (3.48 +/- 0.23 +/- 0.47) x 10(-3), (0.70 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.10) x 10(-3), and (2.17 +/- 0.20 +/- 0.31) x 10(-3). For the phi K+K- final state, the branching fractions, which are measured for the first time, are B(chi(c0,1,2) -> phi K+K-) = (1.03 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.15) x 10(-3), (0.46 +/- 0.16 +/- 0.06) x 10(-3), and (1.67 +/- 0.26 +/- 0.24) x 10(-4). For the phi phi final state, B(chi(c0,2) -> phi phi) = (0.94 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.13) x 10(-3) and (1.70 +/- 0.30 +/- 0.25) x 10(-3).

- BiFeO3 films prepared by pulsed laser deposition on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates were studied as photoelectrode for water splitting. Under visible-light irradiation, the photocurrent intensity of the polycrystalline BiFeO3 film was found to double that of the amorphous one in a three-electrode cell. The incident photon to current conversion efficiency for the polycrystalline BiFeO3 electrode was approximately 16% at 350 nm and 7% at 530 nm at 1.5 V (versus saturated calomel electrode). The ferromagnetism of the amorphous BiFeO3 film was an order of magnitude weaker than that of the polycrystalline one, supporting the "size effect" explanation for magnetic origin.

Immune pathways and defence mechanisms in honey bees Apis mellifera.
- 2006

In: Insect Mol Biol. - 0962-1075. ; 15:5, s. 645-56
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Social insects are able to mount both group-level and individual defences against pathogens. Here we focus on individual defences, by presenting a genome-wide analysis of immunity in a social insect, the honey bee Apis mellifera. We present honey bee models for each of four signalling pathways associated with immunity, identifying plausible orthologues for nearly all predicted pathway members. When compared to the sequenced Drosophila and Anopheles genomes, honey bees possess roughly one-third as many genes in 17 gene families implicated in insect immunity. We suggest that an implied reduction in immune flexibility in bees reflects either the strength of social barriers to disease, or a tendency for bees to be attacked by a limited set of highly coevolved pathogens.

Effects of electrode distances on geometric structure and electronic transport properties of molecular 4,4'-bipyridine junction
- 2006
-
In: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : IOP Publishing. - 1742-6588 .- 1742-6596. ; 29:1, s. 110-114
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Influences of electrode distances on geometric structure of molecule and on electronic transport properties of molecular junctions have been investigated by means of a generalized quantum chemical approach based on the elastic scattering Green's function method. Numerical results show that, for organic molecule 4,4'-bipyridine, the geometric structure of the molecule especially the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is sensitive to the distances between the two electrodes. The currents of the molecular junction are taken nonlinearly increase with the increase of the bias. Shortening the distance of the metallic electrodes will result in stronger coupling and larger conductance.

Electronic transport properties of molecular bipyridine junctions : Effects of isomer and contact structures
- 2006

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The effects of contact structures and isomers on the current-voltage characteristics of molecular bipyridine junctions have been investigated by means of a generalized quantum chemical approach based on the elastic scattering Green's function method. For the four isomers 4,4'-bipyridine, 2,2'-bipyridine, 2,4'-bipyridine, and 2,6'-bipyridine under investigation, the 2,4'- bipyridine junction is found to be the poorest conductor owing to its nonsymmetrical arrangement. Numerical simulations of the 4,4'-bipyridine junction show that the contact structures between molecule and metallic electrodes have a noticeable effect on the electron transport characteristics of molecular junctions. The shortening of the distance between two metallic electrodes results in a stronger coupling and lower potential barrier between them, leading to larger conductance. The external electric fields cause the charge redistribution within molecule and lead to the presence of resistivity dipoles at the molecule-metal interface, and the bias voltages are mainly dropped there. The nonlinear charge transport effect on the current and conductance of 4,4'-bipyridine molecular junctions at the lower-bias region is presented. The experimental measurement has been reproduced by the theoretical calculations for a well-defined structure.

Theoretical studies on electronic transport properties of six-membered heterocyclic molecules

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By applying the elastic scattering Green's function theory in combination with the hybrid density function theory, the electronic transport properties of molecular junctions constructed by the six-membered heterocyclic molecules, pyridazine-2, 5-dithiol, pyrazine-2, 5-dithiol, and pyrimidine-2, 5-dithiol, have been studied. For the heterocyclic molecule pyridine, the influence of the terminal atoms on the current-voltage characteristics has also been obtained. We have accurately determined the coupling constant between the molecule and electrodes by using the frontier molecular orbital theory and the perturbation method. The numerical results show that pyridazine-2,5-dithiol has higher current and conductance, while the conductance of pyrimidine-2, 5-dithiol is very small when the bias voltage is lower than 4V. The conductivity of the molecule pyridine with selenium atom as the terminal atom is higher than that with oxygen atom or sulfur atom.
