Sulfolobus acidocaldarius Microvesicles Exhibit Unusually Tight Packing Properties as Revealed by Optical Spectroscopy
摘要： In this study, we used optical spectroscopy to characterize the physical properties of microvesicles released from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (Sa-MVs). The most abundant proteins in Sa-MVs are the S-layer proteins, which self-assemble on the vesicle surface forming an array of crystalline structures. Lipids in Sa-MVs are exclusively bipolar tetraethers. We found that when excited at 275 nm, intrinsic protein fluorescence of Sa-MVs at 23 °C has an emission maximum at 303 nm (or 296 nm measured at 75 °C), which is unusually low for protein samples containing multiple tryptophans and tyrosines. In the presence of 10–11 mM of the surfactant n-tetradecyl-β-d-maltoside (TDM), Sa-MVs were disintegrated, the emission maximum of intrinsic protein fluorescence was shifted to 312 nm, and the excitation maximum was changed from 288 nm to 280.5 nm, in conjunction with a significant decrease (>2 times) in excitation band sharpness. These data suggest that most of the fluorescent amino acid residues in native Sa-MVs are in a tightly packed protein matrix and that the S-layer proteins may form J-aggregates. The membranes in Sa-MVs, as well as those of unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) made of the polar lipid fraction E (PLFE) tetraether lipids isolated from S. acidocaldarius (LUVPLFE), LUVs reconstituted from the tetraether lipids extracted from Sa-MVs (LUVMV) and LUVs made of the diester lipids, were investigated using the probe 6-dodecanoyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (Laurdan). The generalized polarization (GP) values of Laurdan in tightly packed Sa-MVs, LUVMV, and LUVPLFE were found to be much lower than those obtained from less tightly packed DPPC gel state, which echoes the previous finding that the GP values from tetraether lipid membranes cannot be directly compared with the GP values from diester lipid membranes, due to differences in probe disposition. Laurdan’s GP and red-edge excitation shift (REES) values in Sa-MVs and LUVMV decrease with increasing temperature monotonically with no sign for lipid phase transition. Laurdan’s REES values are high (9.3–18.9 nm) in the tetraether lipid membrane systems (i.e., Sa-MVs, LUVMV and LUVPLFE) and low (0.4–5.0 nm) in diester liposomes. The high REES and low GP values suggest that Laurdan in tetraether lipid membranes, especially in the membrane of Sa-MVs, is in a very motionally restricted environment, bound water molecules and the polar moieties in the tetraether lipid headgroups strongly interact with Laurdan’s excited state dipole moment, and “solvent” reorientation around Laurdan’s chromophore in tetraether lipid membranes occurs very slowly compared to Laurdan’s lifetime.

Fast repetition rate fs pulsed lasers for advanced PLIM microscopy
摘要： Simultaneous metabolic and oxygen imaging is promising to follow up therapy response, disease development and to determine prognostic factors. FLIM of metabolic coenzymes is now widely accepted to be the most reliable method to determine cellular bioenergetics. Also, oxygen consumption has to be taken into account to understand treatment responses. The phosphorescence lifetime of oxygen sensors is able to indicate local oxygen changes. For phosphorescence lifetime imaging (PLIM) dyes based on ruthenium (II) coordination complexes are useful, in detail TLD1433 which possesses a variety of different triplet states, enables complex photochemistry and redox reactions. PLIM is usually reached by two photon excitation of the drug with a femtosecond (fs) pulsed Ti:Sapphire laser working at 80 MHz repetition rate and (time-correlated single photon counting) (TCSPC) detection electronics. The interesting question was whether it is possible to follow up PLIM using faster repetition rates. Faster repetition rates could be advantageous for the induction of specific photochemical reactions because of similar light doses used normally in standard CW light treatments. For this, a default 2p-FLIM–PLIM system was expanded by adding a second fs pulsed laser ("helixx") which provides 50 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 250 MHz, more than 2.3 W average power and tunable from 720 nm to 920 nm. The laser beam was coupled into the AOM instead of the default 80 MHz laser. We demonstrated successful applications of the 250 MHz laser for PLIM which correlates well with measurements done by excitation with the conventional 80 MHz laser source.

Quantitative diagnosis method of beam defects based on laser Doppler non-contact random vibration measurement
摘要： The beam structure is prone to defect damage during its use, and the rapid quantitative diagnosis of the beam structure can detect the defects of the beam in real time and quantitatively. In this article, the method of obtaining the vibration time-domain signal under random excitation of beam structure is proposed by using random vibration excitation and Laser Doppler principle. Based on this, the defect quantitative identification algorithm of beam structure is proposed based on fast Fourier, continuous wavelet transform and convolutional neural network. The random vibration of different parts of steel beams with artificial defects is measured by Laser Doppler method. The experimental results show that the defect size of the beam structure can be effectively identified only by the random vibration signal of the finite point. The method is expected to help to develop an online real-time assessment instrument for beam structure defects in service state.

Structure of a cyanobacterial photosystem I tetramer revealed by cryo-electron microscopy
摘要： Photosystem I (PSI) functions to harvest light energy for conversion into chemical energy. The organisation of PSI is variable depending on the species of organism. Here we report the structure of a tetrameric PSI core isolated from a cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, analysed by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) at 3.3 ? resolution. The PSI tetramer has a C2 symmetry and is organised in a dimer of dimers form. The structure reveals interactions at the dimer-dimer interface and the existence of characteristic pigment orientations and inter-pigment distances within the dimer units that are important for unique excitation energy transfer. In particular, characteristic residues of PsaL are identified to be responsible for the formation of the tetramer. Time-resolved fluorescence analyses showed that the PSI tetramer has an enhanced excitation-energy quenching. These structural and spectroscopic findings provide insights into the physiological significance of the PSI tetramer and evolutionary changes of the PSI organisations.

Quantum Dots Improve Photovoltaic Properties of Purple Membranes under Near-Infrared Excitation
摘要： Purple membrane (PMs), in which the photosensitive protein bacteriorhodopsin (bR) naturally occurs, have photovoltaic properties and are promising for optoelectronic applications. However, PMs cannot effectively absorb light in the NIR spectral region. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), which have high two-photon absorption cross-sections in the NIR region, can significantly improve the light sensitivity of PMs by means of F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from QDs to bR inside PMs. The purpose of this study was to improve the photovoltaic properties of PMs by means of FRET from QDs to bR under NIR two-photon excitation. We made the QD-PM complexes and showed high FRET efficiency in them. Finally, we found that the current signal from the QD-PM material was higher than that in the case of PMs alone under NIR excitation. The obtained results clearly demonstrate improvement of the photovoltaic properties of PMs under NIR two-photon excitation due to the FRET from QDs to bR and show the prospect of designing new photosensitive bio-nanohybrid devices.

Selective terahertz emission due to electrically excited 2D plasmons in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure
摘要： Terahertz radiation emission from an electrically excited AlGaN/GaN heterostructure with a surface metal grating was studied under conditions of two-dimensional (2D) electron heating by the lateral electric field. Intensive peaks related to nonequilibrium 2D plasmons were revealed in the terahertz emission spectra with up to 4 times selective amplification of the radiation emission in the vicinity of 2D plasmon resonance. This selective emission was shown to be frequency-controllable by the grating period. Exact spectral positions of the 2D plasmon resonances were preliminarily experimentally detected with the help of equilibrium transmission spectra measured at various temperatures. The resonance positions are in a satisfactory agreement with the results of theoretical simulation of the transmission spectra performed using a rigorous solution of Maxwell’s equations. The effective temperature of hot 2D electrons was determined by means of I–V characteristics and their analysis using the power balance equation. It was shown that for a given electric field, the effective temperature of nonequilibrium 2D plasmons is close to the hot 2D electron temperature. The work may have applications in GaN-based electrically pumped emitters of terahertz radiation.

Ultrafast Broadband Diagnostics of the Filling of the s Band at the Two-Photon Femtosecond Laser Excitation of a Gold Film
摘要： The transmission of near infrared femtosecond laser pulses (wavelength of 800 nm) and supercontinuum radiation (300–750 nm) generated by them through a 50-nm gold film immersed in water has been experimentally studied at the power of focused laser radiation in the range of 1–10 GW. An increase in the excitation intensity is accompanied by the blueshift of the edge of the extinction band of the film, which is attributed to the filling of electronic states of the s band with a low density of states caused by two-photon interband transitions from d bands with a high density of states.

Ultrafast Dynamics and Ultrasensitive Single-Particle Intermittency in Small-Sized Toxic Metal Free InP Based Core/Alloy-shell/Shell Quantum Dots: Excitation Wavelength Dependency Towards Variation of PLQY
摘要： Observation of strong deviation of photoluminescence excitation curve from absorption curve specially at lower wavelength range, below 450 nm in case of small sized toxic metal free InP based core-alloy-shell quantum dots hints towards interesting exciton dynamics. PL quantum yield (PLQY) has been observed to be dependent on the excitation wavelength. Monitoring the bleach dynamics employing femtosecond ultrafast pump-probe technique it could be shown that the rise-time increases with decrease in pump excitation wavelength from 100 fs for 550 nm excitation to 220 fs for 430 nm pump/excitation. Therefore exciton cooling takes longer time for lower wavelength excitation and thus the exciton becomes more prone to get trapped. About two fold enhancement in magnitude of normalized bleach signal at the band edge (~0.1 (for 430nm excitation) to ~0.2 (for 550nm excitation)) following exciton relaxation has been observed. Thus, in comparison to lower wavelength excitation, for near band-edge pump/excitation there is higher probability of radiative exciton recombination, therefore increasing PLQY. Hot exciton trapping dynamics has been noted to be occurring at a timescale ~750 fs. From ultra-sensitive single particle measurement, magnitude of power-law exponent for both ON and OFF events remain similar to each other and the magnitude remains unaltered for different excitation wavelengths, (405 nm to 568 nm). As long as 100 s ON event could be observed making this InP based non-toxic QD quite suitable for single particle tracking etc. Interestingly, ON event truncation time has been found to increase from 6s to 16s and OFF event truncation time has been found to decrease from 11s to 5.5s, thereby exciton detrapping rate / trapping rate increases from 0.5 to nearly 3 on going from 405 nm to 568 nm excitation. Thus, as the trapping gets suppressed and detrapping gets enhanced, PLQY gets enhanced. The extent of relative decrease of PLQY value with increase in excitation energy above band-edge has been observed to be much more pronounced in CdSe based CAS QD than InP based CAS QD.

Mode resolved heating dynamics in pulsed microwave CO<sub>2</sub> plasma from laser Raman scattering
摘要： Efficient CO2 reduction is predicted for CO2 microwave plasma by virtue of predominant excitation of the asymmetric stretch vibration. Although interpretation of ongoing research is generally based on this mechanism, direct measurement of the power partitioning to support the assumed preferential vibrational excitation in CO2 microwave plasma is currently lacking. Here, such measurements are performed on a 100 μs pulsed microwave CO2 discharge. The <1% duty cycle ensures low gas temperature conditions at the discharge onset. Raman and Rayleigh scattering are employed to reveal vibrational, rotational, and gas temperatures in a spatially and temporally resolved manner. A novelty in the approach is that asymmetric stretch excitation is determined from the bending – symmetric stretch Raman spectrum. During the first 40 μs a significant inter-vibrational non-equilibrium is observed with the symmetric stretch and bending temperature reaching 750 K and the asymmetric stretch temperature reaching 1150 K. A maximum rotational-vibrational non-equilibrium occurs after 60 μs when the rotational temperature is half of the 1150 K vibrational temperature. Rotational and translational modes are measured to be in equilibrium at all times. The power partitioning is analyzed to estimate the power consumed by vibrational excitation, which is used to estimate the reduced electric field in the discharge. This work confirms strong vibrational excitation in CO2 microwave plasma albeit less predominant than often assumed.
