Between carriers

In many applications in mass spectrometry (MS), the sample to be analyzed is present as a solution in a solvent, such as methanol or acetonitrile, or an aqueous one, as with body fluids. The solution may be an effluent from a liquid chromatography (LC) column. In any case, a solution flows into the front end of a mass spectrometer, but before it can provide a mass spectrum, the bulk of the solvent must be removed without losing the sample (solute). If the solvent is not removed, then its vaporization as it enters the ion source would produce a large increase in pressure and stop the spectrometer from working. At the same time that the solvent is removed, the dissolved sample must be retained so that its mass spectrum can be measured. There are several means of effecting this differentiation between carrier solvent and the solute of interest, and thermospray is just one of them. Plasmaspray is a variant of thermospray in which the basic method of solvent removal is the same, but the number of ions obtained is enhanced (see below).

A potential (but general) drawback of the use of stoichiometric carriers is the need for covalent linkage between carrier and bioactive molecule, which may influence its biological activity. Also, on its way to the mitochondria,... 

Tc, and this then suggests that the correlation between Tc and Cu-O distance is meaningful. On the other hand, the case for a correlation between carrier concentration and Tc is even more convincing. In the p-type materials of the La2.x.ySrxRyCu04 B series, there are many examples of Tc actually decreasing as the Cu-O distance decreases. However, in all of these cases, an excellent correlation between carrier concentration and Tc remains (14). 

We can conclude then that our best correlation with Tc is the carrier concentration of electrons or holes. The correlation of Tc with Cu-O distance appears to be real, but is easily overwhelmed by the correlation with carrier concentration. In cases where the Cu-O distance is known but the carrier concentration is basically unknown, we can suspect that the strong correlation between Tc and Cu-O distance may be basically related to the correlation between carrier concentration and Cu-O distance. 

However, it is now realized that it is only near the transition that (80) is valid—and even this is not certain. Efros and Shklovskii (1975) showed that the Coulomb repulsion between carriers led to a form of hopping for which... 

In the case of ubiquinones both the oxidized and the reduced forms may move freely through the lipid phase shuttling electrons between carriers. 

Carrier prodrugs are formed by combining an active drug with a carrier species to form a compound with the desired chemical and biological characteristics, for example, a lipophilic moiety to improve transport through membranes. The link between carrier and active species must be a group, such as an ester or amide, that can be easily metabolized once absorption has occurred or the drug has been delivered to the required body compartment. The overall process may be summarized by ... 

These results led us to analyze the relationship between carrier-wave frequency and power density. We developed a mathematical model (6) which takes into account the changes in complex permittivity of brain tissue with frequency. This model predicted that a given electric-field intensity within a brain-tissue sample occurred at different exposure levels for 50-, 147-, and 450-MHz radiation. Using the calculated electric-field intensities in the sample as the independent variable, the model demonstrated that the RF-induced calcium-ion efflux results at one carrier frequency corresponded to those at the other frequencies for both positive and negative findings. In this paper, we present two additional experiments using 147-MHz radiation which further test both negative and positive predictions of this model. 

So far, the ionic conductivity of most ILs has been measured by the complex impedance method [116], In this method, charge transfer between carrier ions and electrode is not necessary. Therefore platinum and stainless steel are frequently used as blocking electrodes. However, it is often difficult to distinguish the resistance and dielectric properties from Nyquist plots obtained by the impedance measurement. In order to clarify this, additional measurements using non-blocking electrodes or DC polarization measurement are needed. 

The mobility and resistivity data of single crystalline zinc oxide samples (measured at room temperature) from different authors, which were reported from 1957 to 2005, are displayed in Fig. 2.6 as a function of the carrier concentration (part of these data were taken from [67]). Undoped ZnO crystals exhibit carrier concentrations as low as 1015 cm-3, while indium-doped crystals reach carrier concentrations up to 7 x 1019cm-3. The mobility data show a large scattering between carrier concentrations of 1017 to 5 x 1018cm-3. This is caused by the fact that zinc oxide is a compound semiconductor that is not as well developed as other semiconducting compounds. For instance, only... 

Nanocrystalline systems display a number of unusual features that are not fully understood at present. In particular, further work is needed to clarify the relationship between carrier transport, trapping, inter-particle tunnelling and electron-electrolyte interactions in three dimensional nan-oporous systems. The photocurrent response of nanocrystalline electrodes is nonlinear, and the measured properties such as electron lifetime and diffusion coefficient are intensity dependent quantities. Intensity dependent trap occupation may provide an explanation for this behaviour, and methods for distinguishing between trapped and mobile electrons, for example optically, are needed. Most models of electron transport make a priori assumptions that diffusion dominates because the internal electric fields are small. However, field assisted electron transport may also contribute to the measured photocurrent response, and this question needs to be addressed in future work. 

Very often, electrofocused proteins show patterns of multiple bands in places where only a single band is expected. This phenomenon is called microheterogeneity. Early discussions of microheterogeneity attempted to explain it in terms of denaturation or of variable interactions between carrier...

Geminate recombination is suppressed when the density of excited electron-hole pairs is large. For example, a pair density of 10 cm results in an average separation of the carriers of 50 A. The geminate pairs overlap when this distance is less than the thermalization length, Z.T, and non-geminate recombination between carriers from different pairs occurs. Geminate recombination is therefore most likely at low temperatures and weak excitation intensities and in a-Si H it is only observed under these conditions.

Since the relation between carrier density and Fermi level still holds (Eqs. (3a) and (3b)), the Fermi-levels for electrons and holes are now different. 

To obtain relations between carrier density at the interface and at the inner edge of the depletion layer (the thickness of the space charge layer dsc is defined by Eq. (22)), we assume Boltzmann equilibrium for the carriers across the space charge layer. Using Eqs. (3a) and (3b), we have... 

As for the carrier temperature much higher than the lattice temperatiu e owing to the ultt a-short pulse laser heating, especially, a consistent theoretical model should be developed to be able to mimic the non-equilibrium between carriers and lattice. In the case that photons incident on semiconductor have energy greater than the band gap energy of the material, the main heat carrier is an electi-on-hole pair, whereas it is the free electron for metals [11, 17, 18]. 

Figine 6 represents the m imiun values of Tc, Tl, and Nc according to the variations of the laser fluence [ 12]. When the laser fluence varies from 3 mJ/cm to 50 mJ/cm, the lattice temperatme increases by about 44.5 %, whereas the eerier temperature by about 10.1 %. This indicates that the temperature difference between carriers and lattices, which cMi be a measure of non-equilibrimn level, becomes smaller as the laser fluence increases. From this fact, it can be said that tiiere exists a deep interrelationship between the non- equilibrium durability and the laser fluence.
