Single red up-conversion luminescence of Er sensitized layered Y2Ti2O7 phosphor

High color purity red emission with single band successfully achieved in a new Er³⁺, Tm³⁺ co-doped Y₂Ti₂O₇ system under 1550 nm excitation, value of red to green emission ratio of the samples is more than 10³. Efficient up-conversion luminescence can be obtained while the ⁴I_13/2 level of Er³⁺ pumped by 1500 nm directly based on the large absorption section and long luminescence lifetime, and red emission composition will greatly enhanced by co-doping with Tm³⁺ ions, color purity of red emission under 1550 nm excitation is much higher than that of 980 nm. The quenching concentration of Er³⁺ ions is up to 28 mol% in Y₂Ti₂O₇ rely on the layer distribution of cations, which can further improve the red emission color purity.

Photodegradation of rhodamine B dye using a microwave electrodeless UV lamp (MWUVL)

The photodegradation of organic dye rhodamine B (RhB) in an aqueous solution was studied using a microwave electrodeless UV lamp (MWUVL). The 185 nm vacuum UV (VUV) intensity of the MWUVL amounted to 12% of the total UV output, about 1.7 times as high as that of the con ventional low-pressure mercury lamp. An acidic condition was preferred for the degradation of RhB. Precipitate was generated during RhB degradation when the initial concentration of RhB solution was above 60 mg · L⁻¹. For 100 mg · L⁻¹ RhB at pH 4.0, the mass of precipitate produced was nearly half of the initial amount of RhB in the solution after irradi ation for 75 min. The corresponding degradation ratio of RhB reached up to 99.4% and COD reduced 77.4%. The photo degradation of RhB is mainly achieved by direct photolysis of RhB by 185 nm and OH radical oxidation. __________ Translated from Journal of Fudan University (Natural Science), 2006, 45(6): 726–731 [译自: 复旦学报 (自然科学版)]

A repository of equations with cosine/sine compactons

Nonlinear evolution equations with cosine/sine compacton solutions are reviewed, including the Rosenau-Hyman equation and generalizations of Korteweg-de Vries, Camassa-Holm, Boussinesq, Benjamin-Bona-Mahony, Klein-Gordon and other equations. Each equation is generalized to three dimensions and the conditions for its cosine solitary waves to be either a compacton or a soliton are determined. Several equations claimed in the literature to be different among them are found to be equivalent.     

Highly sensitive optical humidity probe

A highly sensitive optical humidity probe based on reflectance measurements has been developed using Nafion^®-crystal violet (CV) films. This sensor can be used to calibrate relative humidity (RH) in the range 0-0.25% with a detection limit (blank signal + 3σ_b, where σ_b = the standard deviation (S.D.) of the blank signal) of 0.018% RH (∼4.37 ppm) and exhibited low hysteresis. The sensor films were fully reversible in dry nitrogen and reversal times were shown to be dependent on exposure time and % RH. The response to 1% RH was highly reproducible (S.D. = 1.67%, number of samples (n) = 5). Hydrogen chloride gas did not interfere with the response of the sensor to RH but did reduce sensor reversal times. This sensor displayed sufficient sensitivity that it could be used to detect ppm levels of moisture in process gases such as nitrogen and HCl.
