Small‐Time Expansion of Wave Motion Generated by a Submerged Sphere

A nonlinear problem of motion of a solid sphere near a free surface of an infinitely deep fluid is considered. For the case of motion with a constant acceleration starting from rest, the solution is studied using a smalltime expansion. Expansion coefficients up to the fourth power inclusive are found for the free surface elevation and for the force acting on the sphere. The solutions for linear and nonlinear conditions on the free surface are compared.

Test of athermal terms of activity coefficient models by Monte Carlo simulation with hard-core models

The infinite dilution activity coefficients of exactly athermal fluids were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation with hard-core models. The hard-core models used in this work were hard-sphere and hard-spherocylinder models. The Widom test particle method was adopted to calculate the residual chemical potentials of solutes in pure solvent and in pure solute solutions. The infinite dilution activity coefficients of solutes were obtained from the residual chemical potentials of solutes. The infinite dilution activity coefficients calculated by Monte Carlo simulation were compared with those of athermal terms in activity coefficient equations. Staverman–Guggenheim equation overestimates the activity coefficients. The deviations of activity coefficients increase with increasing the hard-core volume of solute. Flory–Huggins equation based on molar volume gives good results for the hard-spherocylinder systems. Elbro-FV equation gives good results for both the hard-sphere and hard-spherocylinder systems.

Effect of varying lanthanide local coordination sphere on luminescence properties illustrated by selected inorganic and organic rare earth complexes synthesized in sol-gel host glasses

Inorganic and organic ligands were carefully selected to illustrate the effect of modifications in the local field environment around the rare earth lanthanide (III) on its emission properties. In this article two strategies were employed to enhance emission of lanthanides encapsulated in sol-gel glass. (i) Changing the symmetry around the lanthanide, which was diagnosed by changing the local environment around the lanthanide using different inorganic counter ions (acetate, nitrate and chloride) these ligands differ in their affinity toward the lanthanide first coordination sphere. The ligand that penetrates the lanthanide more results in more asymmetric environment and thus results in higher emission. The aim of this part was to demonstrate the change of symmetry on emission in the absence of energy transfer. Our results indicate that the acetate ion has the highest affinity toward the first coordination sphere followed by the nitrate while the chloride showed the lowest affinity. Penetration by the ligands ofthe lanthanide also results in removing OH quenchers surrounding the lanthanide and this further explains the boost in emission. (ii) A bulky organic ligand that forms a complex with the lanthanide is used. The organic ligand separates the lanthanide ion from inner O-H oscillators. In this case the chelating organic chromophore with suitable photophysical properties was employed to sensitize the lanthanide and thus energy transfer occurs via the antenna effect. The organic ligand absorbs UV light, then energy is transferred to the lanthanide and finally the lanthanide emits in the visible region. The first coordination environment surrounding europium was controlled by the ligand selection and the outer sphere was modified by doping the synthesized complexes in an optically transparent sol-gel glass host. The glass network carefully prepared by sol-gel process is effective in preventing free oxygen and water from attacking lanthanide -complexes without loss of luminescence. Emission spectroscopy measurements of the doped silica specimens confirmed the variation of Eu (III) emission depending on the first coordination sphere surrounding the europium ion. The encapsulation of the europium complexes was performed for two reasons: (i) to improve the stability of red phosphor with efficient and high color-purity characteristics under ultraviolet excitation and (ii) this work provides a framework for preparing transparent composite glasses that are robust hosts to study the fundamental interactions between nano-materials and light.     

Estimation of the degree of asphericity of a glass sphere using a vectorial shearing interferometer

The degree of asphericity is estimated by determining the average radius of curvature in different sections, at various points on the surface of a sphere, and the deviation from it. We employ the vectorial shearing interferometer (VSI) as the instrument to determine the radius of curvature from two subapertures of the transparent glass sphere. We incorporate the sphere as a thick lens into the interferometric setup, illuminating it with an expanded beam. The spherical aberration, introduced by the sphere in the wave front, depends on the local sphere radius, on the refraction index of the glass, and on the cone angle of the source. The wave front aberrated by the sphere impinges on the VSI. Here, the wave front is divided in two in amplitude, it is sheared vectorially, and it is superimposed with itself. The fringe pattern is formed in the intersection of the wave fronts. The shape of the resulting fringe pattern is directly related to spherical aberration. We estimate qualitatively the degree of asphericity, comparing the phase gradients in different sections of the sphere. Here, we report on the experimental setup to test the asphericity, the results with different vectorial shearing (magnitude and direction). Finally, we perform a comparison with the theoretical predictions.
