Resonant raman scattering in complexes of nc-Si/SiO₂ quantum dots and oligonucleotides

We report on the functionalization of nanocrystalline nc-Si/SiO2 semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) by short d(20G, 20T) oligonucleotides. The obtained complexes have been studied by Raman spectroscopy techniques with high spectral and spatial resolution. A new phenomenon of multiband resonant light scattering on single oligonucleotide molecules has been discovered, and peculiarities of this effect related to the nonradiative transfer of photoexcitation from nc-Si/SiO2 quantum dots to d(20G, 20T) oligonucleotide molecules have been revealed

On Stability of a Class of Linear Systems with Distributed and Lumped Parameters

© 2019, Allerton Press, Inc. The method of Lyapunov functions is used to investigate the stability of systems with distributed and lumped parameters, described by linear partial and ordinary differential equations. The original high-order partial differential equations are represented by a first-order system of partial differential evolution equations and constraint equations; to do that, we introduce additional variables. Passing to the first-order system of partial differential equations and representing ordinary differential equations in the normal Cauchy form, we obtain a possibility to construct the Lyapunov function as a sum of integral and classical quadratic forms and develop general methods of the investigation of the stability of a broad class of systems with distributed and lumped parameters. For example, we consider the stability of the work of the wind-driven lift pump and take into account the elasticity of the shaft transmitting the torque from the wind engine to the pump
