TL;DR: The lipoxygenase reaction can concomitantly and irreversibly inactivate sulfhydryl enzymes as demonstrated with muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Abstract: A lipoxygenase has been purified from rabbit reticulocyte-rich anaemic blood cells. It possesses a molecular weight of 78000 and an isoelectric point of 5.5 and contains 5% neutral sugars and two iron atoms per enzyme molecule. The lipoxygenase has proved to be identical with the inhibitors of respiratory proteins described formerly. The actions of the lipoxygenase on linoleic acid, phospholipids, mitochondrial and erythrocyte membranes and electron transfer particles were studied. A special feature of the reticulocyte lipoxygenase is the suicidal character of its action on lipids. With electron transfer particles the reticulocyte lipoxygenase causes a loss of acid-labile sulfur which accompanies respiratory inhibition; the strong respiratory inhibition is not exerted by soybean lipoxygenase. The reticulocyte lipoxygenase acts preferably on mitochondrial membranes as compared with cell membranes of the erythrocyte; erythrocyte cytosol moderates the action on mitochondrial membranes. Furthermore, the lipoxygenase reaction can concomitantly and irreversibly inactivate sulfhydryl enzymes as demonstrated with muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The occurrence of the lipoxygenase here described is restricted to reticulocytes; very low amounts were observed in bone marrow and no lipoxygenase was detectable in normal blood. During the course of an experimental anaemia the lipoxygenase is produced owing to superinduction in large amounts, which may persist for a long time since they escape inactivation. Preliminary evidence was obtained for the occurrence of other lipoxygenases in tissues of lung, spleen, kidney and also epithelial tumours

TL;DR: In this paper, the energy spectra of A and B excitons in CdS were investigated by measuring the transmission and reflectivity of very thin highly perfect crystals at 1.8 K.
Abstract: An investigation is made of the energy spectra of A and B excitons in CdS by measuring the transmission and reflectivity of very thin highly perfect crystals at 1.8 K. The excited states of both series follow hydrogen-like series in a good approximation yielding different Rydberg's R = (28 ± 0.4) and R = (31.3 ± 0.4) meV, whereas the ground states are shifted in opposite direction with respect to the series, δE = −2.2, δE = +0.5 meV, resulting in exciton binding energies E = 30.2 and E = 30.8 meV, which are different from the corresponding Rydberg energies. This effect could not be attributed to a single perturbation acting on the ground state in different ways. Moreover, oscillator strengths are determined. A discussion is given in terms of the quasi-cubic model. For CdSe, the exciton-LO-phonon interaction is investigated using a line-shape analysis of the absorption lines at different temperatures. Analogous to other II–VI compounds, at higher temperatures (T > 77 K) this interaction is the dominate one for the exciton absorption spectra.

TL;DR: In this paper, a renormalization process takes place for polaritons via virtual formation of biexcitons and stimulated by the intense polariton distribution, assuming an energetically sharp distribution as is realised e.g. by dye laser excitation, the original polariton dispersion is shown to split into two new branches.
Abstract: The change of polariton dispersion is investigated theoretically if a large number of polaritons is present at frequencies near half the biexciton energy. A renormalization process takes place for polaritons via virtual formation of biexcitons and stimulated by the intense polariton distribution. Assuming an energetically sharp distribution as is realised e.g. by dye laser excitation the original polariton dispersion is shown to split into two new branches. These effects should manifest if e.g. an additional but weak probe light is used to testify the optical properties of the laser excited crystal. Furthermore the scattering lines of the two-photon resonance Raman process via biexcitons are characteristically modified due to both selfrenormalization of the incoming polaritons and renormalization of the scattered polaritons. Explicit results are presented for CuCl where agreement with experimental data recently published is found. Die Veranderung der Polaritondispersion wird theoretisch fur den Fall untersucht, das eine grose Zahl von Polaritonen bei Frequenzen um die halbe Biexcitonenenergie herum vorhanden ist. Ein Renormierungsprozes fur Polaritonen uber virtuelle Biexzitonbildung findet statt und wird durch die starke Polaritonverteilung stimuliert. Unter der Annahme einer energetisch scharfen Verteilung, wie es z. B. bei der Anregung mit einem Farbstofflaser der Fall ist, wird die ursprungliche Polaritondispersion in zwei neue Zweige zerlegt. Diese Effekte sollten sich z. B. dann ausern, wenn zusatzliches schwaches Probelicht zur Untersuchung der optischen Eigenschaften des durch den Laser angeregten Kristalls benutzt wird. Weiterhin werden die Streulinien des Zwei-Photon-Resonanz-Raman-Prozesses uber Biexzitonen charakteristisch modifiziert, sowohl durch die Selbstrenormierung der einfallenden Polaritonen als auch durch die Renormierung der gestreuten Polaritonen. Explizite Resultate werden fur CuCl vorgelegt, wobei eine Ubereinstimmung mit kurzlich publizierten experimentellen Werten gefunden wird.

TL;DR: A stomatocytogenic effect is demonstrated here due to solutions of low ionic strength (below 70mm), and an analysis of the true cell state in these situations indicates a good correlation between transmembrane potential and cell shape.
Abstract: It is well known that a pH shift of the outside medium from 5 to 9 produces a shape transformation of washed human red blood cells from stomatocytes to echinocytes in isotonic salt solutions. In addition, a stomatocytogenic effect is demonstrated here due to solutions of low ionic strength (below 70mm). An analysis of the true cell state in these situations, proved by measurements of predicted volume changes, indicates a good correlation between transmembrane potential and cell shape. The fact that amphotericin B acts as echinocytogenic agent in low ionic strength medium at pH 7.4 but not at pH 5.1 underlines this explanation. Therefore, a transmembrane potential positive inside produces stomatocytes, slightly negative inside (below−10 mV), normocytes, and strongly negative, echinocytes. The temperature dependence of this process underlines the rigidity-pattern hypothesis of red blood cell shape (Glaser & Leitmannova, 1975, 1977).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that disorder-allowed A(Γ6) exciton transition, the bowing of the energy difference between A and C exciton, and the broadening of the exciton lines clearly demonstrate the importance of disorder effects in these mixed crystals.
Abstract: In CdS1−xSex mixed crystals the energies and transition probability ratios for free A, B, and C excitons are obtained as a function of the composition x by reflection and emission measurements at 77 K. The observation of the disorder-allowed A(Γ6) exciton transition, the bowing of the energy difference between A and C exciton, and the broadening of the exciton lines clearly demonstrate the importance of disorder effects in these mixed crystals. This conclusion is further supported by the stress-induced enhancement of the A(Γ6) exciton transition probability by uniaxial stress parallel to the c-axis of the mixed crystals. The experimental results are discussed on the basis of an effective exciton Hamiltonian consisting of a quasi-cubic VCA-Hamiltonian for wurtzite-type mixed crystals and an additional lower-symmetric term which describes the disorder effects phenomenologically by two fluctuating crystal fields parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis, respectively. Die Energien und die Ubergangswahrscheinlichkeitsverhaltnisse fur freie A-, B- und C-Exzitonen in CdS1−xSex-Mischkristallen werden als Funktion der Zusammensetzung x durch Reflexions- und Emissionsmessungen bei 77 K bestimmt. Die Beobachtung des Disorder-erlaubten A(Γ6)-Exziton-Ubergangs, das Bowing der Energiedifferenz zwischen A- und C-Exziton und die Verbreiterung der Exzitonenlinien sind ein deutlicher Hinweis auf die Bedeutung von Disorder-Effekten in diesen Mischkristallen. Diese Folgerung wird weiter bestatigt durch die druckinduzierte Erhohung der A(Γ6)-Exzition-Ubergangswahrscheinlichkeit bei Anlegen von uniaxialem Druck parallel zur c-Achse der Mischkristalle. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse werden diskutiert auf der Grundlage eines effektiven Exziton-Hamiltonian, der zusammengesetzt ist aus einem quasikubischen VCA-Hamiltonian fur Wurtzit-Typ-Mischkristalle und einem zusatzlichen nieder-symmetrischen Term, der die Disorder-Effekte phanomenologisch beschreibt durch zwei fluktuierende Kristallfelder parallel bzw. senkrecht zur c-Achse.

TL;DR: In this paper, the conductivity of nonideal plasmas is investigated by using the kinetic theory as well as the Kubo-type correlation function theory, and the effects of dynamical screening, short range forces and the Debye-Onsager relaxation effect on the conductance problem are considered without and with quantum mechanical corrections.
Abstract: The conductivity of nonideal plasmas is investigated by using the kinetic theory as well as the Kubo-type correlation function theory. The effects of dynamical screening, short range forces and the Debye-Onsager relaxation effect on the conductance problem are considered without and with quantum mechanical corrections. For some special plasmas it is found that deviations from Coulomb's law and quantum effects have only a small effect on the conductivity, whereas the numerically most important effects are connected with the dynamical screening and with the Debye-Onsager relaxation force. Leitfahigkeit fur nichtideale Plasmen Die Leitfahigkeit fur nichtideale Plasmen wird unter Verwendung sowohl der kinetischen Theorie als auch der Methode der Korrelationsfunktionen untersucht. Es werden die Effekte von dynamischer Abschirmung, kurzreichweitigen Kraften und dem Debye-Onsagerschen Relaxationseffekt auf die Leitfahigkeit ohne und mit Berucksichtigung quantenmechanischer Korrekturen betrachtet. Fur einige spezielle Plasmen wird erhalten, das Abweichungen vom Coulombschen Gesetz und Quanteneffekte nur einen geringen Einflus auf die Leitfahigkeit besitzen. Die numerisch am wichtigsten Effekte sind mit der dynamischen Abschirmung und der Debye-Onsagerschen Relaxationskraft verbunden.

TL;DR: In this paper, the core electron binding energies of semiconductors cannot correctly be described without taking into account of polarization (relaxation) energies due to the core hole and an approximate expression for ϵ(q, ω) is derived which can be shown to give a reasonable description for the relevant q- and ω-regions.
Abstract: The core electron binding energies of semiconductors cannot correctly be described without taking into account of polarization (relaxation) energies due to the core hole. A formula is developed which relates the polarization energy to the dielectric function ϵ(q, ω) of the semiconductor. Band structure effects and the dynamics of polarization are considered. An approximate expression for ϵ(q, ω) is derived which can be shown to give a reasonable description for the relevant q- and ω-regions. The theory represents the basis for the calculation of polarization energies in terms of only a few experimental parameters. The numerical results are given in the forthcoming paper (II). Die Bindungsenergien von Rumpfelektronen in Halbleitern konnen nicht korrekt beschrieben werden, ohne die Polarisations- (Relaxations-) energien der Rumpflocher zu berucksichtigen. Es wird eine Formel angegeben, durch die die Polarisationsenergie zur Dielektrizitatsfunktion des Halbleiters in Beziehung gesetzt wird. Bandstruktur-Effekte und die Dynamik der Polarisation werden in Rechnung gestellt. Es wird ein Naherungsausdruck fur ϵ(q, ω) abgeleitet, der in dem relevanten q- und ω-Gebiet eine gute Beschreibung liefert. Auf der Basis dieser Theorie konnen Polarisationsenergien von Halbleitern in Abhangigkeit von nur wenigen experimentellen Parametern berechnet werden. Numerische Ergebnisse werden in der folgenden Arbeit (II) vorgelegt.

TL;DR: Using a narrow band dye laser three excited states of the I2 bound exciton in CdS can be detected in the excitation spectrum of luminescence as mentioned in this paper, giving essential conclusions to distinguish EM- and I2-emission.
Abstract: Using a narrow band dye laser three excited states of the I2 bound exciton in CdS can be detected in the excitation spectrum of luminescence. Their behaviour at different excitation intensities is investigated giving essential conclusions to distinguish EM- and I2-emission. From the corresponding lines in the transmission spectrum the oscillator strengths are estimated. The properties of the excited states refer to a deuteron-like model of exciton weakly bound to the donor. Unter Verwendung eines schmalbandigen Farbstofflasers konnen drei angeregte Zustande des gebundenen Exzitons I2 in CdS im Anregungsspektrum der Lumineszenz nachgewiesen werden. Ihr Verhalten bei unterschiedlichen Anregungsintensitaten wird untersucht. woraus sich wichtige Hinweise zur Unterscheidung von EM- und I2-Emission ergeben. Aus den entsprechenden Linien im Transmissionsspektrum werden die Oszillatorstarken abgeschatzt. Die Eigenschaften der angeregten Zusande weisen auf ein Deuteron-ahnliches Modell des schwach am Donator gebundenen Exzitons hin.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the difference between Hartree-Fock values and binding energies found by means of XPS are caused by dynamical relaxation in the electronic system.
Abstract: Starting from the treatment of the electron self-energy in the linear shielded potential approximation relaxation energies for the excitation of Si 2p-electrons in SiOx compounds are calculated. It is shown that the differences ≈ 5 eV between one-electron Hartree-Fock values and binding energies found by means of XPS are caused by dynamical relaxation in the electronic system. The contribution of relaxation to the oxygen-induced shift of the Si 2p core level is estimated. The total chemical shift with x can be explained in terms of variation of core-level shift due to solid-state effects and relaxation energy. The contribution of the Fermi level shift seems to be negligible. Ausgehend von der Behandlung der Elektronen-Selbstenergie in der linearen Vs-Approximation werden Relaxationsenergien fur die Anregung von Si 2p-Elektronen in verschiedenen SiOx-Verbindungen berechnet. Es wird gezeigt, das die Differenzen von ≈ 5 eV zwischen Einelektronenenergien und experimentell bestimmten Bindungsenergien durch die Relaxation im Elektronensystem in Hartree-Fock-Naherung verursacht werden. Der Beitrag der Relaxation zur chemischen Verschiebung des Si 2p-Rumpfniveaus mit x wird bestimmt. Die totale chemische Verschiebung wird durch die Anderung des Einelektronen-Potentials und der Relaxation erklart. Der Beitrag der Fermi-Niveau-Verschiebung ist klein.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of light scattering is developed which uses consequently the connection between the scattered light and the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field, and the common representations of the scattering cross-section can be derived from the general theory.
Abstract: A theory of light scattering is developed which uses consequently the connection between the scattered light and the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. A general formula is given expressing the scattering cross-section in terms of the fluctuations of the electrical conductivity operator, and by applying the dissipation-fluctuation theorem in terms of the conductivity operator itself. It is shown how the common representations of the scattering cross-section can be derived from the general theory. Es wird eine allgemeine Theorie der Lichtstreuung entwickelt, in der die Beziehung zwischen dem gestreuten Licht und den Fluktuationen des elektromagnetischen Feldes konsequent genutzt wird. Mit Hilfe einer allgemeinen Formel kann der Streuquerschnitt durch die Fluktuationen des elektrischen Leitfahigkeitsoperators ausgedruckt werden und, nach Anwendung des Dissipations-Fluktuationstheorems, durch den Leitfahigkeitsoperator selbst. Es wird gezeigt, wie die ublichen Darstellungen des Streuquerschnitts aus der allgemeinen Thecrie abgeleitet werden konnen.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of both the complexity of the two upper valence bands as well as the electron-hole exchange interaction on the exciton binding energies in wurtzite-type semiconductors is studied.
Abstract: The effect of both the complexity of the two upper valence bands as well as the electron–hole exchange interaction on the exciton binding energies in wurtzite-type semiconductors is studied. The energy level scheme and explicit expressions for the lowest exciton states of both A and B series are given. Using recent very accurate experimental data on exciton energies in CdS, the averaged B band hole mass is estimated to 1.6mo, and the position of the n = 1 B(Γ2) exciton level to about 0.2 meV below the transverse B(γ5) level. The longitudinal–transverse splitting of γ5 excitons is calculated from a microscopic approach in excellent agreement with experimental data taking into account an interband momentum matrix element P = 21 eV screened by a background dielectric constant e' = 8. The exchange parameters introduced by Cho are determined for CdS to 3j0 ≈ 1 meV and 9j1 ≈ 2.1 meV. Es wird der Einflus sowohl der komplexen Bandstruktur der beiden oberen Valenzbander als auch der Elektron–Loch-Austauschwechselwirkung auf die Exzitonenbindungsenergie in Wurtzit-Halbleitern untersucht. Das Energieniveauschema und explizite Ausdrucke fur die Grundzustande der A- und B-Exzitonen werden angegeben. Unter Verwendung von neueren sehr genauen experimentellen Werten der Exzitonenenergie in CdS werden die gemittelte B-Band-Lochmasse zu 1,6m0 und die Lage des n = 1 B(γ2)-Exzitonenniveaus zu 0,2 meV unter dem transversalen B(γ5)-Niveau bestimmt. Die Longitudinal–Transversal-Aufspaltung der γ5-Exzitonen wird im Rahmen einer mikroskopischen Theorie in sehr guter Ubereinstimmung mit experimentellen Werten bestimmt, wobei das Interband-Impuls-Matrixelement P = 21 eV mit einer „background”-Dielektrizitatskonstante e' = 8 abgeschirmt wird. Die von Cho eingefuhrten Austauschparameter ergeben sich fur CdS zu 3j0 ≈ 1 meV und 9j1 ≈ 2,1 meV.

TL;DR: Using LDA for exchange and correlation contributions the binding energies for localized few particle complexes consisting of up to two excitons bound at a fixed coulomb centre are calculated in this article.
Abstract: Using LDA for exchange and correlation contributions the binding energies for localized few particle complexes consisting of up to two excitons bound at a fixed coulomb centre are calculated. A simple isotropic two-band structure is adopted. For the exciton bound at the ionized donor D+X good agreement is found with values obtained by elaborated variational ansatzes in the literature. Binding energies for the exciton bound at a neutral donor D°X in a wide range of electron to hole mass ratios are obtained for the first time, well reflecting the known limiting cases of H2 (s 0), H− (s ∞), and PsH (s = 1). Furthermore, stability is predicted for the biexciton bound at the ionized donor D+X2 below s ≦ 1.4. From all results it is concluded, that LDA is appropriate to describe excitonic complexes bound at shallow impurities. Die Lokaldichtenaherung (LDA) fur die Austausch-Korrelationsenergie wird genutzt, um die Bindungsenergien lokalisierter Mehrteilchenkomplexe zu berechnen, die bis zu zwei an ein Coulombzentrum gebundene Exzitonen enthalten. Eine einfache isotrope Zweibandstruktur wird vorausgesetzt. Fur das am ionisierten Donator gebundene Exziton D+X wird gute Ubereinstimmung mit Werten aus der Literatur gefunden, die mit Hilfe umfangreicher Variationsansatze ohne LDA berechnet werden. Erstmals werden fur das Exziton am neutralen Donator D°X Bindungsenergien gewonnen, die innerhalb eines weiten Bereichs des Verhaltnisses s zwischen Elektronen-und Lochmasse gultig sind und die bekannten Grenzfalle H2 (s 0), H− (s ∞) und PsH (s = 1) gut widerspiegeln. Weiterhin wird Stabilitat des Biexzitons am ionisierten Donator D+X2 fur s ≦ 1,4 vorausgesagt. Zusammenfassend wird gefolgert, das LDA eine geeignete Naherung fur die Beschreibung von Exzitonenkomplexen ist, die an flachen Storstellen gebunden sind.

Abstract: The optical absorption coefficient for direct allowed interband transitions between states L+6 and L−6 is calculated within the framework of a multiband model, including six bands in a k · p treatment. Due to the enhanced joint density of states at higher energies in the multiband model as compared with the Dimmock-model a good agreement is obtained between calculated and experimental absorption spectrum also at photon energies hw > 2EG.
