Visible up-conversion emissions at (435, 545, 580, 675 and 690 nm) and (437, 547 575 and 675 nm) have been observed from the sol-gel derived nano-crystalline Ho3+: BaTiO3 powders and thin films respectively, under 808 nm laser diode excitation emissions. Combined with the energy level structure of Ho3+ ions and the kinetics of the visible emissions, the up-conversion mechanism has been analyzed and explained. The blue, green and red emissions of both samples has been attributed to the ground state-directed transition from (5F1), (5S2) and (5F5), which are populated through excited state absorption (ESA) for 808 nm excitation. Nano-structure pure barium titanate and doped with different concentrations of Ho3+ ions in the from of powder and thin film have been prepared by sol-gel technique, using barium acetate (Ba(Ac)2), and titanium butoxide (Ti(C4H9O)4), as precursors. The thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin coating method. The as-grown thin films and powders were found to be amorphous, which crystallized to the tetragonal phase after heating at 750°C in air for 30 minutes. The crystallite sizes of the thin film and powder both doped with 4% Ho3+ ions was found to be equal to 11 and 16 nm, respectvely. 相似文献
Perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) are a class of high performance materials used in a wide range of applications (refrigeration, lubrication, semiconductor industry, etc.). PFPEs containing peroxidic units are intermediate materials for the preparation of commercial end products. In this work we study the spectroscopic properties of ether and peroxides linkages in this class of compounds; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra are discussed, FT-Raman data presented. Quantum chemical calculations on model molecules were used as a tool for the interpretation of the Raman experimental data and physical-chemical properties. 相似文献
Titanium citrate and lead and titanium citrate were prepared by polymeric precursor method in aqueous solution. This citrate
was analyzed by 1H, 13C NMR and gHMBC–NMR (Hetero-nuclear multiple-bond correlation) to investigate the formation of the citrate complexs and influence
of the Pb2+ ion in this complex. These complexs were characterized by interaction between Ti4+ ion and citric acid carboxyls. Quantum mechanic simulations in level ab initio were used to study the electronic structure and natural charges (NBO) to both the complexs. Such techniques indicated the
formation of an octahedral complex with an arrangement similar to Ti atom in the crystalline structure of the PbTiO3. A study using the technique FT-Raman made possible the confirmation of the interaction among the Ti4+ and Pb2+ ions with the citric acid carboxyls. 相似文献
Palladium loaded calcium-hydroxyapatite, Pd(z)/CaHAp, and calcium-fluoroapatite, Pd(z)/CaFAp, were synthesised and characterised by TEM, XRD, IR and UV–vis–NIR spectroscopies. Introduction of palladium does not change the structure of CaHAp and CaFAp. The average size of PdO particles was found to be around 4–5 nm on Pd(1)/CaHAp but larger (6–7 nm) on Pd(1)/CaFap. The acid–base properties of the supports and of the catalysts were studied using butan-2-ol conversion. On CaHAp and CaFAp, the butenes yield (dehydration reaction) is very low either in the absence or in the presence of oxygen. The methyl ethyl ketone yield (dehydrogenation reaction) is significant only in the presence of oxygen and higher over CaFAp. Conversely, the performances of Pd(z)/CaHAp are better than those of Pd(z)/CaFAp below 180 °C. Above 180 °C, buta-2-ol combustion is favoured on Pd/CaHAp but not on Pd/CaFAp.
In methane oxidation, Pd(z)/CaHAp showed also a much larger activity than Pd(z)/CaFAp. On 2 wt% Pd loaded CaHAp, the methane oxidation reaches a conversion of almost 100% at 350 °C, which is comparable with the performance of conventional Pd/Al2O3 catalysts. The reducibility of PdO under methane–oxygen mixtures is lower on Pd(z)/CaHAp. For both reactions, the lower activity of Pd(z)/CaFAp is related to its higher acidity, resulting from the substitution of OH− by F−, and to the larger PdO particle size. 相似文献
The molecular geometry and molecular vibrations of 3-trifluoromethylphenol have been investigated by means of quantum chemical calculations and vibrational spectroscopy. The computations indicated the preference of the conformer with the OH hydrogen pointing in the direction of the trifluoromethyl group by 0.9 kJ/mol with respect to the anti conformer. FT-IR spectra of the vapour and CCl4 solution as well as FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the pure liquid have been recorded in the range of 4000–150 cm−1. The interpretation of the spectra was based on a scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) analysis for which the initial force field was calculated at the Becke3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) DFT level supplemented with a 6-311++G** basis set. Using 11 scale factors refined in the present study an rms deviation of 7.6 cm−1 between the experimental and SQM frequencies has been achieved. On the basis of the computations 40 of the total of 42 fundamentals of the title compound have been assigned. 相似文献
A method is described for measuring the concentrations of both glucose and glutamine in binary mixtures from near infrared
(NIR) absorption spectra. Spectra are collected over the range from 5000–4000/cm (2.0–2.5μm) with a 1-mm optical path length.
Glucose absorbance features at 4710, 4400, and 4300/cm and glutamine features at 4700, 4580, and 4390/cm provide the analytical
information required for the measurement. Multivariate calibration models are generated by using partial least squares (PLS)
regression alone and PLS regression combined with a preprocessing digital Fourier filtering step. The ideal number of PLS
factors and spectral range are identified separately for each analyte. In addition, the optimum Fourier filter parameters
are established for both compounds. The best overall analytical performance is obtained by combining Fourier filtering and
PLS regression. Glucose measurements are established over the concentration range from 1.66–59.91 mM, with a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.32 mM and a mean percent error of 1.84%. Glutamine can be measured over the
concentration range from 1.10–30.65 mM with a SEP of 0.75 mM and a mean percent error of 6.67%. These results demonstrate
the analytical utility of NIR spectroscopy for monitoring glucose and glutamine levels in mammalian and insect cell cultures. 相似文献
Online Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy in combination with a fiber optic probe was utilized to study the kinetics of the anionic polymerization of butadiene. The conversion of the butadiene to methylene protons in the polymer was monitored in solution polymerization conditions by monitoring the absorbance at 1632 nm. The off-line gel permeation chromatography, GPC, technique was used to validate the online FT-NIR spectroscopy method. Butadiene polymerization kinetics in cyclohexane initiated with n-butyllithium at different initiator concentrations and temperatures was studied. A phenomenological kinetic expression for the anionic polymerization of butadiene in cyclohexane initiated with n-butyllithium was determined. The predictions of the kinetic expression were in agreement with kinetic data reported in the literature. 相似文献
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has been employed for the investigation of the sulfur and chlorine content of building materials. Both, chloride and sulfate ions are major damaging species affecting the stability and lifetime of a structure. Chlorine and sulfur are mostly detected in the VUV and the NIR. In case of building materials the main elements like calcium or iron have many strong spectral lines over the whole spectral range, so that trace elements can only be detected in spectral windows unaffected from these lines. With regard to a preferably simply, robust against dust and vibrations and portable setup only the NIR spectral features are used for civil engineering applications.
Most detectors, mainly CCD cameras have rapidly decreasing quantum efficiency in the NIR. Also the quantum efficiency of the photocathode of CCD-Detectors with image intensifier is decreasing in the NIR. Different CCD-detectors were tested with respect to high quantum efficiency and high dynamic range, which is necessary for simultaneous detection of weak spectral lines from trace elements and intense spectral lines from main elements.
The measurements are made on reference samples consisting of cement, hydrated cement, cement mortar and concrete with well-defined amounts of the trace elements. Experimental conditions are chosen for an optimum intensity of the trace element spectral lines. The detector systems are compared by limit of detections and the signal to noise ratio. 相似文献
Adequate very sensitive quantification methods are needed for the development and are also now required for the monitoring
of undesirable solid form(s) as routine tests. The pre-requisite for quantitation are selectivity, sensitivity and most important
the purity of standards and their proper storage, what is a challenge for metastable forms.
Several analytical techniques are available such as X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, thermal analysis and microcalorimetry.
The different steps of the validation of the analytical methods and problems to be solved are discussed. Examples illustrate
the different techniques and compare their possible advantages and limits. The relative standard deviation of measurements
should allow for checking the homogenization procedure of mixtures for calibration. The validation should be carried out following
ICH guidelines for validation of analytical methods. Comparison of different techniques in adequate concentration range add
confidence in the analytical results. 相似文献
