Electrochemical Performances of Electroactive Nano-Layered Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Containing Trivalent Iron Ion and its Use for a DNA Biosensor Preparation

A steady nano organic-inorganic perovskite hybrid with [H23-AMP]3/2Fe(CN)6 (3-AMP = 3-methylaminopyridine) was prepared in the air. The structure is an unusual layered organic-inorganic type. The resulting hybrid enveloped in paraffin to prepare [H23-AMP]3/2Fe(CN)6 paste electrode (HPE) shows good electrochemical activity and a couple of oxidation and reduction peaks with potential of cyclic voltammometry (CV) at around 440 mV and 30 mV. Compared with that on CPE, oxidation potential of Fe(CN)63− on HPE shifts negatively 259.7 mV and that of reduction shifts positively 338.7 mV, which exhibits that [H23-AMP]3/2Fe(CN)6 can accelerate the electron-transfer to improve the electrochemical reaction reversibility. Such characteristics of [H23-AMP]3/2Fe(CN)6 have been employed to prepare the DNA biosensor. The single-strand DNA (ssDNA) and double-strand DNA (dsDNA) immobilized on HPE, respectively, can improve the square wave voltammometry (SWV) current and SWV potential shifts positively. The effect of pH was evaluated. And there is hybridization peak on SWV curve using HPE immobilized ssDNA in the complementary ssDNA solution. And HPE immobilized ssDNA can be utilized to monitor the DNA hybridization and detect complementary ssDNA, covering range from 3.24 × 10−7 to 6.72 × 10−5 g/mL with detection limit of 1.57 × 10−7 g/mL. The DNA biosensor exhibits a good stability and reproducibility

A CLT for the LSS of large dimensional sample covariance matrices with diverging spikes

In this paper, we establish the central limit theorem (CLT) for linear spectral statistics (LSS) of large-dimensional sample covariance matrix when the population covariance matrices are not uniformly bounded, which is a nontrivial extension of the Bai-Silverstein theorem (BST) (2004). The latter has strongly influenced the development of high-dimensional statistics, especially in applications of random matrix theory to statistics. However, the assumption of uniform boundedness of the population covariance matrices has seriously limited the applications of the BST. The aim of this paper is to remove the barriers for the applications of the BST. The new CLT, allows spiked eigenvalues to exist, which may be bounded or tend to infinity. An important feature of our result is that the roles of either spiked eigenvalues or the bulk eigenvalues predominate in the CLT, depending on which variance is nonnegligible in the summation of the variances. The CLT for LSS is then applied to compare four linear hypothesis tests: The Wilk's likelihood ratio test, the Lawly-Hotelling trace test, the Bartlett-Nanda-Pillai trace test, and Roy's largest root test. We also derive and analyze their power function under particular alternatives.Comment: Comparing with the old manuscript, we modified the title of the paper. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2205.07280. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2205.0728

Growth and characterization of Bi2Se3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition using alloy target

Bi2Se3 thin films were deposited on the (100) oriented Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique at different substrate temperatures (room temperature – 400 ºC). The effects of the substrate temperature on the structural and electrical properties of the Bi2Se3 films were studied. The film prepared at room temperature showed a very poor polycrystalline structure with the mainly orthorhombic phase. The crystallinity of the films was improved by heating the substrate during the deposition and the crystal phase of the film changed to the rhombohedral phase as the substrate temperature was higher than 200 ºC. The stoichiometry of the films and the chemical state of Bi and Se elements in the films were studied by fitting the Se 3d and the Bi 4d5/2 peaks of the X-ray photoelectron spectra. The hexagonal structure was seen clearly for the film prepared at the substrate temperature of 400 ºC. The surface roughness of the film increased as the substrate temperature was increased. The electrical resistivity of the film decreased from 1x10-3 to 3 x 10-4 Ω cm as the substrate temperature was increased from room temperature to 400 ºC.Shenyang National Laboratory for Material Science (SYNL), Chin
