Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules02:35

Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules

62.8K
Noncovalent attractions are associations within and between molecules that influence the shape and structural stability of complexes. These interactions differ from covalent bonding in that they do not involve sharing of electrons.
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling

2.5K
The coupling interactions of nuclei across four or more bonds are usually weak, with J values less than 1 Hz. While these are usually not observed in spectra, the presence of multiple bonds along the coupling pathway can result in observable long-range coupling.
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanophotonics

Background:

  • Free electrons generate confined optical fields for probing photonic modes with high resolution using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and cathodoluminescence (CL).
  • Current techniques primarily probe linear optical responses, limiting the study of nonlinear dynamics at the nanoscale.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate that low-energy electron fields can induce and probe nonlinear optical responses in materials.
  • To explore the potential of low-energy electron spectroscopies for investigating nanoscale nonlinear optical phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Quantum-mechanical simulations were employed to model the interaction between low-energy electrons (≲100 eV) and plasmons in graphene nanostructures.
  • Analysis focused on identifying anharmonic responses in the electron evanescent field and their impact on optical spectra.

Main Results:

  • Simulations revealed that low-energy electrons trigger substantial optical nonlinearities in graphene nanostructures.
  • Observable effects include spectral shifts and saturation in plasmonic features within EELS and CL spectra.

Conclusions:

  • Low-energy electron-beam spectroscopies are effective tools for exploring nonlinear optical processes in nanostructures.
  • This approach enables high spatial resolution studies of nonlinear plasmonics, expanding the capabilities of EELS and CL.
