Observation of hotspot in BSCCO thin film structure by fluorescent thermal imaging

Hotspot formation is observed in a structured thin superconducting film of Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_x (BSCCO) using the fluorescent thermal imaging technique. The BSCCO film is deposited on SrTiO₃ (STO) and has a superconducting transition at 80 K. A film of rare-earth doped polymer film deposited directly on the superconductor is used as thermal sensor down to 4 K.     

Three-dimensional imaging of microstructure in Au nanocrystals

X-ray diffraction using a coherent beam involves the mutual interference among all the extremities of small crystals. The continuous diffraction pattern so produced can be phased because it can be oversampled. We have thus obtained three-dimensional images of the interiors of Au nanocrystals that show 50 nm wide bands of contrast with [111] orientation that probably arise from internal twinning by dynamic recrystallization during their formation at high temperature.     

Study on heat-storage and release characteristics of multi-cavity-structured phase-change microcapsules

Based on the solutions of apparent heat capacity method for phase-change problems, numerical simulations were performed to study the heat-storage and release processes for the multi-cavity-structured phase-change microcapsules in this paper. Moreover, the influence of the cavity structures of the phase-change microcapsules on the heat-storage and release capacity was analyzed. The results show that the rate of heat-storage and release will be accelerated by increasing the number of cavities in microcapsules, and cavity interlayer is the key factor to enhance the heat transfer.     

High-resolution non-invasive 3D imaging of paint microstructure by synchrotron-based X-ray laminography

The characterisation of the microstructure and micromechanical behaviour of paint is key to a range of problems related to the conservation or technical art history of paintings. Synchrotron-based X-ray laminography is demonstrated in this paper to image the local sub-surface microstructure in paintings in a non-invasive and non-destructive way. Based on absorption and phase contrast, the method can provide high-resolution 3D maps of the paint stratigraphy, including the substrate, and visualise small features, such as pigment particles, voids, cracks, wood cells, canvas fibres etc. Reconstructions may be indicative of local density or chemical composition due to increased attenuation of X-rays by elements of higher atomic number. The paint layers and their interfaces can be distinguished via variations in morphology or composition. Results of feasibility tests on a painting mockup (oak panel, chalk ground, vermilion and lead white paint) are shown, where lateral and depth resolution of up to a few micrometres is demonstrated. The method is well adapted to study the temporal evolution of the stratigraphy in test specimens and offers an alternative to destructive sampling of original works of art.     

Three-dimensional tracking of fluorescent nanoparticles with subnanometer precision by use of off-focus imaging

We show that the position of a fluorescent nanoparticle can be measured in three dimensions with subnanometer precision and 100-ms temporal resolution by use of standard epifluorescence video imaging in off-focus mode. The particle can be tracked without feedback in a volume of at least 40 microm x 60 microm x 3 microm. With the technique presented, the structure-mobility relationship of 216-nm latex particle in a porous polymer network was studied in three dimensions.     

Raman imaging and photodegradation study of phthalocyanine containing microcapsules and coated particles

We present the results of using Raman molecular imaging and atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation of the composition, stability, and photodegradation of polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules and coated microparticles containing copper–phthalocyanine and iron–phthalocyanine. The influence of laser light on degradation of these phthalocyanine dyes embedded in the walls of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules and shells of microparticles was studied by both AFM and Raman molecular imaging, but only the latter technique gave information on dynamics of photodegradation. Raman peak assignment was performed according to theoretical calculations. The degradation rate of phthalocyanine dyes is estimated from Raman signal measurements and a model is proposed to account for the degradation rate. Practical applications of our approach are outlined. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Biological functionalization and fluorescent imaging of carbon nanotubes

Biofunctionalization and manipulating of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is important for biomedical research and application. Cy5 labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (anti-IgG-Cy5) is chemically bonded to CNTs via a two-step process of diimide-activated amidation. This process can avoid the intermolecular connection of proteins. Fluorescent imaging of CNTs in aqueous solution has been demonstrated using anti-IgG-Cy5 immobilized CNTs (IgG-CNTs) as the model. The biologically functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) in solution have been observed successfully using fluorescence microscopy. The fluorescent image of highly oriented f-CNTs is obtained at first time. The influencing factors on fluorescent imaging including oxidation duration, background noise and reactant concentration are discussed.     

High-resolution bone microstructure imaging based on ultrasonic frequency-domain full-waveform inversion

The main challenge in bone ultrasound imaging is the large acoustic impedance contrast and sound velocity differences between the bone and surrounding soft tissue. It is difficult for conventional pulse-echo modalities to give accurate ultrasound images for irregular bone boundaries and microstructures using uniform sound velocity assumption rather than getting a prior knowledge of sound speed. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposed a frequency-domain fullwaveform inversion(FDFWI) algorithm for bone quantitative imaging utilizing ultrasonic computed tomography(USCT).The forward model was calculated in the frequency domain by solving the full-wave equation. The inverse problem was solved iteratively from low to high discrete frequency components via minimizing a cost function between the modeled and measured data. A quasi-Newton method called the limited-memory Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno algorithm(L-BFGS) was utilized in the optimization process. Then, bone images were obtained based on the estimation of the velocity and density. The performance of the proposed method was verified by numerical examples, from tubular bone phantom to single distal fibula model, and finally with a distal tibia-fibula pair model. Compared with the high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography(HR-p QCT), the proposed FDFWI can also clearly and accurately presented the wavelength scaled pores and trabeculae in bone images. The results proved that the FDFWI is capable of reconstructing high-resolution ultrasound bone images with sub-millimeter resolution. The parametric bone images may have the potential for the diagnosis of bone disease.     

Study of the frequency distribution of the fluorescent light induced by monochromatic radiation

The frequency distribution of the fluorescent light induced by monochromatic dye laser radiation was investigated. To exclude the influence of the Doppler width a strongly collimated atomic beam was used. The spectrum was measured by means of a piezoelectrically tunable spherical Fabry Perot. The interaction region between the laser light and the atomic beam was placed into the center of the interferometer. Thus the observed fluorescence spectrum was considerably more intense than in the case where the interferometer is used separately from the beam. The fluorescence spectrum was observed for different directions of polarization of the incident laser beam. In the case of weak excitation the spectrum consists of a sharp component essentially due to elastically scattered light. At high intensities a structure of three components is observed which is in agreement with theoretical predictions when circularly polarized light is used for excitation.
