Femtosecond Diffuse-Reflectance Spectroscopy of Various Commercially Available TiO2 Powders

The transient absorption properties of several commercially available TiO₂ photocatalysts were investigated by femtosecond diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy. Using femtosecond diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, the quantities and rates of the initial trapping processes of holes and electrons generated by the photoexcitation of TiO₂ photocatalysts were investigated. It was found that the total amounts of trapped electrons for the pure-anatase and pure-rutile TiO₂ became smaller with increasing particle size, but increased again when the particles’ diameters were larger than 50 nm. The anatase–rutile mixed TiO₂ photocatalysts were found to have smaller amounts of trapped electrons compared with pure-anatase and pure-rutile TiO₂ photocatalysts. The lifetimes of trapped holes of various TiO₂ photocatalysts were also investigated, and it was found that the lifetimes were proportional to the anatase–rutile mixed ratios.     

分布布喇格反射镜的反射特性

采用等效法布里珀罗(FP)腔方法对分布布喇格反射镜(DBR)的特性进行了研究,计算并讨论了上下两层DBR结构非对称模型反射率的变化.设计了DBR反射镜的反射谱中心波长为850nm的结构.随着DBR周期数的增加,腔反射率峰值逐渐增加.上下两层DBR反射镜的厚度由反射率和中心波长决定.实验表明,下DBR的周期数为30对左右,上DBR的周期数为20对左右,易实现激光输出.非对称的双层DBR的反射特性表明理论计算与实验结果基本一致.     

光学元件亚表面缺陷偏振双向反射分布函数

 利用琼斯散射矩阵,借助右手正交基组来表示入射场和散射场,推导出光学元件亚表面缺陷或微粒在不同偏振状态下的双向反射分布函数的表达式。给出了亚表面缺陷在不同入射角条件下,不同偏振状态下的双向反射分布函数与散射方位角之间的关系,以及不同入射角下p偏振入射产生的p偏振双向反射分布函数的3维散射图。结果表明:p偏振入射产生的p偏振双向反射分布函数强烈依赖于入射角、散射角和方位角,且随着入射角的增加,其最小值点所对应的方位角逐渐减小。     

Infrared diffuse reflectance instrumentation and standards at NIST

A spectrophotometer system for spectral characterization of materials in the infrared has been built around a bench-top Fourier transform instrument. Its capabilities include the measurement of directional-hemispherical reflectance from 1 to 18 μm. The spectral reflectance measurement is performed with an integrating sphere with an incidence angle of 8°. Both relative and absolute measurements can be made. Several methods can be used to determine the absolute value of the directional-hemispherical reflectance of samples. The primary method used is independent of the integrating sphere theory and the requisite assumptions associated with its use. The calibration of a standard reference material (SRM) is described. This SRM has a reflectance value near 0.9 over the complete calibration range 2–18 μm. As part of the calibration procedure the spatial uniformity of the sphere throughput and the bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of the SRM material are evaluated.     

Wet sol–gel silica matrices as delivery devices for phenytoin

Wet sol–gel silica matrices produced under different hydrolysis conditions were used as delivery devices to the active principle of an antiepileptic drug (phenytoin sodium), encapsulated during the condensation stage. Post-incorporation into dry silica powder was an alternative loading procedure. It was proven by infrared spectroscopy that neither the silica network nor the drug loose integrity by encapsulation. The kinetics of in vitro drug release was studied at 37 °C, to water and to artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF). Emphasis has been given to the release to ACSF under dynamic conditions (with fluid renovation, emulating what occurs in the brain). Different delivery regimes were identified and correlated with the loading method and the matrix structure. Matrices with lower total porosity and smaller average pore size proved to be better for a long term release. Renovation of ACSF is relevant to assure a constant concentration of phenytoin in the vicinity of the device.     

Characterization of Antioxidant Activity of Momordica Charantia Fruit by Infrared-Based Fingerprinting

Momordica charantia is widely consumed edible fruit. The food and pharmaceutical industries use it as a natural antioxidant. However, the quality control of M. charantia-based medicinal products is questionable due to the complexity of metabolites in this fruit. Hence, this study has developed a statistical model in predicting the antioxidant value through the 2, 2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power based on infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance. This technique was reliably used for quality control. Six ethanol extracts (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% in water) of this plant’s fruit were prepared. The radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power activities were measured and the chemical profiling of the extracts was fingerprinted by infrared spectroscopy between 4,000 and 600?cm^?1 at a resolution of 4?cm^?1. Statistical analysis was developed by correlating the bioactivity and infrared spectra of each extract using orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis. The C–N, C?O, C–O, C–H, and OH infrared signals were positively correlated with biological activity. The antioxidant activity of the fruit of M. charantia may be due to the presence of several antioxidants that work synergistically.     

Quelques modèles diffusifs capillaires de type KortewegSome diffusive capillary models of Korteweg type.

The purpose of this Note is to propose new diffusive capillary models of Korteweg type and discuss their mathematical properties. More precisely, we introduce viscous models which provide some additional information on the behavior of the density close to vacuum. We actually prove that if some compatibility conditions between diffusion and capillarity are satisfied, some extra regularity information on a quantity involving the density is available. We obtain a non-trivial equality deduced from the special structure of the momentum equation. This Note generalizes to some extent the authors' previous works on the Korteweg model (with constant capillary coefficient) and on the shallow water equation. To cite this article: D. Bresch, B. Desjardins, C. R. Mecanique 332 (2004).
