Dialysis01:15

Dialysis

Dialysis is a diffusion-based purification process that separates analyte molecules from a complex matrix. This is accomplished by allowing molecules in the solution to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a liquid on the other side. The membrane is usually made of cellulose acetate or cellulose nitrate, and the second liquid must be miscible with the solution. Ions (e.g., chloride or sodium) or organic molecules (e.g., glucose) can pass through the membrane pores, which generally have...
Mass Analyzers: Common Types01:19

Mass Analyzers: Common Types

The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...

Background:

  • Optical vortices are beams of light with a helical phase front.
  • Interactions between light and nanostructures can lead to unique diffraction phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling of focused Gaussian beam diffraction.
  • Fabrication of a nano-step structure in transparent media.
  • Experimental observation of double optical vortex splitting.

Main Results:

  • A double optical vortex splits into two single vortices upon approaching the nano-step.
  • The movement dynamics of the split vortices are characteristic and predictable.
  • High-resolution determination of the nano-step's position was achieved through vortex observation.

Conclusions:

  • The diffraction of optical vortices by nano-structures offers a sensitive probe.
  • The observed vortex splitting provides a novel method for nanoscale metrology.
