Fluorescence of metal complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives in aqueous micellar media

The fluorescence characteristics of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative complexes of A1(III), Ga(III), In(III), Zn(II), and Be(II) in differently charged micellar media are reported. For most of the chelates studied, large increases are observed in micellar media compared with those obtained in hydroorganic solvents. However, some exceptions are observed, of which the low fluorescence of Zn(II) chelates in anionic sodium lauryl sulfate media is the most noticeable.

多孔细径微肋管内CO2流动蒸发换热特性的研究

对亚临界二氧化碳在带有微肋的微细通道内的蒸发换热特性进行了实验研究.实验段为长0.6 m,内径1.7 mm的八孔带0.16 mm高微肋的铝制扁管.实验中参数的变化为:蒸发温度1～15 ℃,质量流速100～300 kg/m2s,热流密度1.67～8.33 kW/m2,干度0.1～0.9.实验结果表明,二氧化碳在带有微肋的微细通道中的蒸发换热系数高于其在光滑微细通道内的换热.二氧化碳的流动蒸发换热系数主要受热流密度和蒸发温度的影响,基本上是换热系数随热流密度及蒸发温度的增加而增加,但同时临界干度前移及滞后,而质量流速对换热系数的影响较弱;压力损失随质量流速和热流密度的增加以及蒸发温度的降低而增加.     

Raman scattering,luminescence, and absorption edge under hydrostatic pressures of layered BiI3 and SbI3

Raman scattering from BiI₃ and SbI₃ crystals has been studied at hydrostatic pressures up to 2 GPa. The wavenumbers monotonically increased with pressure for all modes in BiI₃. Although both crystals belong to the same space group, the pressure coefficients of SbI₃ were significantly different from those of BiI₃. At pressure P₀ = 0.92 ± 0.01 GPa, the pressure coefficients of all modes changed. Above P₀, all modes in SbI₃ had positive pressure coefficients as they have in BiI₃. By comparing this unusual behavior of the Raman lines in SbI₃ around P₀ with the results in BiI₃ and comparing the two lattice structures, we suggest that the type of bonding of SbI₃ changes to become more ionic and hence more similar to the bonding of BiI₃. This change in structure is supported by changes in the bandwidth of the self‐trapped exciton (STE) luminescence and the slope of the absorption edge photon energy versus pressure.

Laser-diode excited intense upconversion luminescence of Er^3＋ in bismuth-lead-germanate glasses

We have investigated infrared-to-visible upconversion luminescence of Er^3＋ in bismuth-lead-germanate glasses. The UV cutoff wavelength is shortened while its lifetime is increased almost linearly, with PbF2 substituting for PbO in the bismuth-lead germanate glasses. Three emissions centred at around 529, 545 and 657 nm are clearly observed, which are identified as originating from the ^2H11/2→^4 I15/2,^4S3/2→^4 I15/2 and ^4 F9/2 →^4 I15/2 transitions, respectively. It is noted that all the upconversion emission intensities increase with PbF2 concentration increasing. The ratio between the intensities of red and green emissions increases with the increasing of PbF2 content. Energy transfer processes and nonradiative phonon-assisted decays account for the populations of the ^2 H11/2,^4 S3/2 and ^4F 9/2 levels. The quadratic dependence of fluorescence on excitation laser power confirms a two-photon process to contribute to the upconversion emissions.     

Enhanced Ratiometric pH Sensing Using SNAFL-2 on Silver Island Films: Metal-enhanced Fluorescence Sensing

We have explored the opportunities for enhanced ratiometric pH sensing using the well-known carboxy seminaphthofluorescein (SNAFL-2) and silver island films (SiFs). Our results show that the metallic surfaces can provide up to a 40-fold increase in probe fluorescence intensity as compared to nonmetallic surfaces with the same probe coverage. However, while the S/N is significantly better for pH sensing, the emission wavelength ratiometric values are similar to that obtained in solution, due to the fact that the emission of both the acidic and basic forms of the probe are enhanced to similar extents. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of enhanced ratiometric fluorescence sensing on metallic surfaces.     

Electro- and photoluminescence of compounds based on doped zinc sulfide in the 500–750-nm range

The influence of atmospheric passivation on the electro- and photoluminescent properties of ZnS powders doped with In and/or CuCl is investigated. The processes proceeding in the material during thermal doping with In and/or CuCl as well as participation of oxygen in forming the electro- and photoluminescent radiation centers are discussed. The possibility of creating electro- and photoluminophors based on ZnS that have a continuous spectrum in the visible range with the same spectral density is shown. An electroluminophor based on ZnS:In,Cu,Cl that emits radiation with practically the same spectral density in the 550–750-nm range has been created as well as a photoluminophor based on ZnS:In that emits similarly within the range 500 < < 700 nm.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 1, pp. 90–93, January–February, 2005.

Growth Behavior of CdS Nanoparticles Embedded in Polymer and Sol-Gel Silica Matrices: Relationship with Surface-State Related Luminescence

Chemical techniques were employed to synthesize CdS nanoparticles embedded in polymer (PEG 300) and sol-gel silica matrices. Systematic growth of particles (radius 3–9 nm) was obtained by adjusting post-deposition annealing temperature and time to examine the dependence of surface-state–related luminescence on particle size. Photoluminescence (PL) peak energy showed a linear dependence with a gentle slope in the weak confinement region and a steep slope in the strong confinement region, the divergence being observed near the excitonic Bohr radius for CdS. The empirical relation proposed for the weak confinement region could be used for estimating chemically prepared CdS nanoparticle size with a high degree of reliability from PL peak energy.
