Selected AbstractsSynthesis and luminescent properties of a novel bluish-white afterglow phosphor, b -Zn3(PO4)2:Hf4+LUMINESCENCE: THE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL LUMINESCENCE, Issue 1 2008Zifei Peng Abstract A new bluish-white long-lasting phosphorescent material, Hf4+ -doped b-Zn3(PO4)2, was prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state method. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum reveals that it exhibits a strong blue emission band centred at 470 nm, with asymmetry on the long wavelength side; this material emits bluish-white light and shows strong afterglow phosphorescence after it is excited with a 254 nm UV lamp. The phosphorescence lasts nearly 40 min in the light perception of the dark-adapted human eye (0.32 mcd/m2). The possible phosphorescence mechanism is also analysed.

[source] Post-annealing effect upon phosphorus-doped ZnTe homoepitaxial layers grown by MOVPEPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (B) BASIC SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 5 2007Katsuhiko Saito Abstract The effect of post-annealing treatment upon the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of phosphorus-doped ZnTe homoepitaxial layers grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy using tris-dimethylaminophosphorus (TDMAP) has been investigated. PL properties at 4 K of the layers are dramatically improved by the post-annealing in nitrogen flow, i.e. donor,acceptor pair emission vanishes and instead free-to-bound transition emission (FB) and broadened acceptor-related excitonic emission (Ia) appear. PL intensity at room temperature is enhanced remarkably by the treatment. While the post-annealing treatment in hydrogen flow also gives an increase in PL intensity at room temperature of the layer, PL spectrum at 4 K is almost unchanged. The intensity ratio of FB to broadened Ia for the layer after post-annealing treatment in nitrogen flow increases and the broadened Ia shifts towards longer wavelength side with increasing TDMAP transport rate.

Chou Water transport in crosslinked 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was investigated. Crosslinked HEMA was irradiated by gamma ray in vacuum for this study. The sorption data of de-ionized water transport in crosslinked HEMA subjected to various gamma ray dosages are in excellent agreement with Harmon's model which accounts for Case I, Case II, as well as the anomalous transport processes. The diffusion coefficient for Case I transport and velocity for Case II transport satisfy the Arrhenius equation for all dosages. The transport process was exothermic and the equilibrium-swelling ratio satisfied the van't Hoff plot. The pH value of de-ionized water after the sorption/de-sorption treatment of the irradiated crosslinked HEMA specimen was analyzed. The transmittance of irradiated crosslinked HEMA treated by de-ionized water was also studied. The effect of irradiation on the polymer chains was revealed by the measurement of glass transition temperature and the quantitative determination of water structures in crosslinked HEMA hydrogel. The UV cut-off wavelength of crosslinked HEMA shifted to longer wavelength side with increasing irradiation dosage, but the trend of transmittance after water treatment was opposite. The effect of specimen thickness on water transport was also studied. [source] Circular dichroism spectroscopic study of non-covalent interactions of poly- L -glutamic acid with a porphyrin derivative in aqueous solutionsJOURNAL OF PEPTIDE SCIENCE, Issue 9 2005Palivec Abstract The interactions of poly- L -glutamic acid and a cationic porphyrin derivative in aqueous solutions were studied by the combination of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopies. It was found that non-covalent interactions between both agents influence the structure of the polymeric matrix and the guest porphyrins and vice versa, but the physico-chemical properties of the solutions, especially the pH and the relative permittivity of the solvent, play a key role in the structure of the polypeptide part of the formed complexes. It was shown that the interaction with porphyrins prevents the precipitation of poly- L -glutamic acid in aqueous solution at acidic pH. In special conditions, the porphyrins attached to the polypeptide probably possess face-to-face interaction as demonstrated by the enhancement of the characteristic ECD signal and the appearance of sidebands on its short and long wavelength sides.
