The changes in energy and photoionization spectra of atoms upon confinement by a spherical environment are explored theoretically. Two kinds of confinement are considered: an endohedral confinement, such as inside the bucky-ball C 60, and an impenetrable spherical confinement of adjustable radius. We demonstrate modifications in the energy spectrum and electron correlation effects in confined atoms, the appearance, nature and origin of "confinement" resonances in photoionization spectra of such atoms, as well as new regularities in the periodic table for "compressed" atoms. These findings are of importance for basic and applied physics and chemistry of atoms, molecules, surfaces, etc.

ABSTRACT Maternally provided gene products regulate the earliest events of embryonic life, including formation of the oocyte that will develop into an egg, and eventually into an embryo. Forward genetic screens have provided invaluable insights into the molecular regulation of embryonic development, including the essential contributions of some genes whose products must be provided to the transcriptionally silent early embryo for normal embryogenesis, called maternal-effect genes. However, other maternal-effect genes are not accessible due to their essential zygotic functions during embryonic development. Identifying these regulators is essential to fill the large gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms and molecular pathways contributing to fertility and to maternally regulated developmental processes. To identify these maternal factors, it is necessary to bypass the earlier requirement for these genes so that their potential later functions can be investigated. Here, we report reverse genetic systems to identify genes with essential roles in zebrafish reproductive and maternal-effect processes. As proof of principle and to assess the efficiency and robustness of mutagenesis, we used these transgenic systems to disrupt two genes with known maternal-effect functions: kif5ba and bucky ball.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structures of some possible carbon fibers nucleated from the hemisphere of a bucky ball are presented. A one-dimensional electronic energy band structure model of such carbon fibers, having not only a principal rotational axis but also fibers with screw axes, can be derived by folding the two-dimensional energy bands of graphite. By considering the variation of the fiber diameter and helicity within a simple tight binding model calculation, we show that 1/3 of the fibers are metallic and 2/3 are semiconducting. The effect of adding multiple tubule layers is considered.

We present the structures and behaviors of cellular nonlinear networks (CNN) on spheres (spherical CNN for short). Although the cells in a spherical CNN can have any number of neighbors, in this paper we study the cases where each cell has only three neighbors. We present the simulation results of symmetric and asymmetric spherical CNNs. In our simulations, we use a Bucky-ball spherical CNN structure with 60 cells and an irregular spherical CNN structure with 100 cells. Since a spherical CNN has no boundary, we use an asymmetric spherical CNN to show how information propagates on spheres via local couplings. We also show that if a spherical CNN is locally active then different patterns can be found in its stable output.

The bandgap of solid C 60 is found to be 2.3±0.1 eV . The on-site molecular C 60 Coulomb interaction (U) as determined from the KVV C 60 Auger spectrum is found to be 1.6 ±.2 eV . This value of U is shown to be consistent with Frenkel type molecular excitons in the 1.5–2 eV range. These results lead us to suggest that doped C 60 should be considered as a highly correlated system with U/W comparable to that in high T c cuprates. The Auger spectroscpoy results are consistent with a rather long range Coulomb interaction on a single bucky ball indicating that a Hubbard model is not suitable to describe the electronic structure of a C 60 molecule.
