The evolution of the morphological properties of solutions of endohedral metallofullerene La@C82 in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of a coagulant was studied by dynamic and static light scattering methods. Based on the experimental results, the time evolution of the light scattering intensity, and the hydrodynamic radius of endohedral metallofullerene clusters, their association constants and aggregation rates are determined. Based on the analysis of the angular dependences of light scattering in solutions of endohedral metallofullerenes, the fractal dimension of La@C82 clusters in solutions of various concentrations at the initial and final stages of their aggregation was estimated.
The morphology of organic semiconductor films of perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) and perylenetetracarboxylic acid dibenzyl-diimide (N, N`-DBPTCDI) formed by thermal vacuum deposition was studied by atomic force microscopy. It was shown that annealing of films at 420 K leads to rearrangement of their structure and crystallization. The optical absorption spectra of the films under study were used to estimate the optical band gap. The temperature dependence of the dark conductivity of PTCDA and N, N-DBPTCDI films before and after annealing (Т = 420 K) was established. The values of the activation energy of charge carrier traps are determined. The computer simulation of the density of localized states in the band gap of the films studied was carried out using the photoconductivity spectra in the constant photocurrent mode. Model photovoltaic cells based on PTCDA / СuPc and N, N-DBPTCDI / СuPc structures were formed. The kinetics of decay of the interfacial photo-voltage of the cells prepared was measured using pulsed light as an excitation source. On the basis of the performed measurements, the charge carrier mobility values in the investigated semiconductor materials were estimated.
The photoexcitation energy transfer was studied in donor-acceptor systems (DA) formed from a mixture of the semiconductor polymer poly [2-methoxy-5- (2`-ethylhexyloxy) -1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) with C60 fullerene and endohedral metallofullerene Ho@C82. A significant effect of the exciton migration between the polymer units on the quenching of MEH-PPV luminescence has been established. The Foerster radii of nonradiative energy transfer for the investigated DA systems are estimated. It is shown that the DA system formed using endohedral metallofullerenes is the most effective. Based on MEH-PPV, model photovoltaic cells with different doping levels C60 and Ho@C82 were formed. For the formed cells, the spectral sensitivity of the Photo-EMF and the kinetics of the increase in the Photo-EMF signal under pulsed irradiation were measured. The mobility of charge carriers in the studied polymer composites was estimated. It was found that a change in the concentration of endohedral metallofullerene within 1-2% allows you to change the effective mobility of free carriers of the polymer heterojunction.
The dynamics of oxygen consumption during photodynamic processes and its subsequent restoration in malignant tumors and healthy tissues of mice were studied in vitro by kinetics of long-term luminescence of xanthene dyes. It was shown that to estimate changes in tissue oxygen tension, specific type of delayed fluorescence can be used which caused by singlet-triplet annihilation of singlet oxygen and a sensitizer in triplet state. In tumors under pulse excitation of sensitizers, reversible quenching of delayed fluorescence was observed, which is associated with a decrease in the tissue oxygen tension during photodynamic processes. Method for visualizing the restoration of the initial oxygen level in tissues after photodynamic action is proposed.
Установлено, что в пленках ДНК, сенсибилизированных органическими красителями (на примере акридинового оранжевого), при импульсном возбуждении в полосе поглощения красителя возможна реализация нескольких типов нестационарной голографической записи. Регистрировались динамические голографические решетки на триплетных состояниях красителя, тепловые и рельефно-фазовые голограммы-решетки недеструктивного типа. Эффективность и время существования этих решеток существенно зависят от концентрации красителя-сенсибилизатора, типа связывания его с биополимером и энергии записывающих импульсов. Высокоэффективные рельефные голографические решетки, сформированные вследствие структурных преобразований биополимерной матрицы при переходе в тепло энергии записывающих лазерных импульсов, самопроизвольно исчезают со временем полностью (или почти полностью) при комнатной температуре. Получены данные о распределении молекул акридинового оранжевого по сайтам связывания в матрице ДНК.
The method of production of optical uniform double-helical DNA film structures is proposed. These structures were formed according to the «guest-host» principle and the dye molecules act as the «guest» and demonstrate high fluorescence capability. Superluminescence of Pyronin G is realized in such system.
