Practical methodology for <i>in situ</i> measurement of micro flow rates using laser diode absorption sensors
摘要： A laser diode-based flowmeter based on the infrared absorption method that can measure in situ micro flow rates from 0.2 to 20 ml h?1 was developed. A 1450 nm laser absorbed in water was irradiated to form a heated spot at 0 mm, and the temperature was measured upstream and downstream of the heated spot. The flow rate was measured by the temperature difference obtained by two diode lasers and photodetectors upstream and downstream of the heated spot. We measured the temperature profile of the flow rate by changing the temperature measurement position and the heating laser energy upstream and downstream of the heated spot, and compared the measurements with the simulation results. As the flow rate increased, the temperature profile shifted downstream, and the measured temperature upstream and downstream were analyzed according to the flow rate. The flow measurement range was adjusted according to the temperature measurement position. Increasing the energy of the heating laser also improved the measurement accuracy in the lower flow range. The developed flowmeter was calibrated by the gravimetric method, and the deviation and measurement uncertainty according to the flow rate were obtained. The maximum measurement uncertainty was 6.8% at a 1 ml h?1 flow rate, and the minimum measurement uncertainty was 1.78% at 8 ml h?1. Thus, it was confirmed that the flow rate can be measured through the temperature difference gauged using a simple diode laser set. Using the laser diode-based flowmeter developed in this study, one can measure the flow rate in situ without injecting contaminants, such as particles, for measurements without cutting the piping. In addition, it can be manufactured in a miniaturized form at a low cost, and thus, it can be used for multi-drug infusion analysis, semiconductor process monitoring, etc.

Cell Imaging Using Two-Photon Excited CdS Fluorescent Quantum Dots Working within the Biological Window
摘要： In recent years, two-photon excited semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been the subject of intense investigation due to their long excitation wavelength which helps to achieve deeper penetration and higher image resolution in optical bioimaging. In this paper, water-soluble CdS QDs were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and applied to human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. The first-principles calculation suggested that the S-rich defected structure contributes to a narrower band gap compared to the pristine structure. The resulting fluorescence wavelength was significantly red shifted, which was attributed to the deep defect states emission. The large Stokes shifts (> 200 nm) of the QDs can eliminate the possible cross-talk between the excitation light and the emission light. Two-photon induced red fluorescence emission can avoid overlapping with the autofluorescence emission of biological samples. The uptake and cell viability measurements of the HepG2 cells showed a good biocompatibility and a low toxicity of CdS QDs. Two-photon excited scanning microscopy images revealed that the HepG2 cells incubated with CdS QDs emitted bright red upconversion fluorescence and the fluorescence brightness was 38.2 times of that of the control group. These results support CdS QDs as a good candidate for application in cellular imaging.

Effect of incorporation of sulphur on the structural, morphological and optical studies of CdSe thin films deposited by solution processed spin coating technique
摘要： Ternary compound semiconductor CdSexS1-x (x = 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2 and 0) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by using simple solution processed spin coating technique. Cadmium acetate, sodium selenosulfate and thiourea were used as source materials for Cd2+, Se2? and S2? ions, while triethanolamine was used as a capping agent. The 25% concentred NH4OH solution was used as a complex reagent and also used to adjust the pH of the final solution ~ 11. The deposition conditions (rotation speed 2000 rpm for 30 s and substrate dried in the air at 120 °C for 2 min) were remain same for all the samples. The as-deposited thin films on glass substrate were annealed at 350 °C for 30 min. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that all the samples were polycrystalline in the nature with hexagonal structure. The most of prepared thin films were highly textured along (002) plane and peak position for plane (002) is shifted with change in composition ‘x’. The average crystallite size in CdSexS1-x thin films were found between 62.6 nm to 93.4 nm. Scanning electron microscopy images showed uniform deposition morphology with spherical shaped grains distributed over entire glass substrate. Samples CdSe0.8S0.2 and CdSe0.6S0.4 thin films indicated interesting morphological features with the combination of spherical shaped nanoparticles and interconnected nanofibers which form hierarchical flowerlike micro-structure. Energy dispersive X-Ray studies confirmed that thin films were having approximately same stoichiometry of atomic ratio of elements Cd, Se and S as present in volumetric ratio of the reactants in chemical solution. Fourier transform infrared studies confirmed the formation of the Cd(Se,S) bonding in materials. The optical band gap of CdSexS1-x thin films were found as direct band gap in the range of 1.82 eV to 2.32 eV. As the incorporation of sulphur element increases, the band gap of CdSexS1-x thin film also increases. The CdSexS1-x thin films can be used as absorption layer in solar photovoltaic cell which is due to wide and fine tenability of the energy band gap.

Beta-lead oxide quantum dot (β-PbO QD)/polystyrene (PS) composite films and their applications in ultrafast photonics
摘要： Polymer composite films, particularly those based on polymers and layered nanomaterials, are attractive materials for exploiting the properties of multiple materials for applications in electronics and photonics. In this work, a beta-lead oxide quantum dot (β-PbO QD)/polystyrene (PS) composite film is successfully fabricated by a solution blending method. The β-PbO QDs are well-distributed within a β-PbO QD/PS composite film and the composite film is transparent and flexible. Owing to the almost complete insolubility of both β-PbO QDs and PS, the as-fabricated β-PbO QD/PS composite film holds the nonlinear photonic response from 540 nm to 1060 nm under complete water immersion, confirming its excellent stability to high humidity. Additionally, the β-PbO QD/PS composite film exhibits a considerable capacity for optical modulation owing to a strong nonlinear absorption coefficient compared with those of other two-dimensional (2D) materials. On the basis of a home-made β-PbO QD/PS composite film saturable absorber, stable mode-locked pulses at 1060 nm are generated under humid conditions. It is anticipated that the β-PbO QD/PS composite films enable the exploitation of new waterproof, flexible photonic devices based on functional 2D materials and polymers.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of graphene quantum dots and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots: Raman characterization and their optical properties
摘要： In this report we will present completely new results on the improvement of the graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQD) production method, using the microwave with different power levels and durations, from citric acid and urea. This is a new and unprecedented method of fabrication. The use of microwave has allowed ultra-fast fabrication of GQDs and nitrogen doped GQDs. These GQDs had their characteristics identi?ed by Raman scattering spectra for the characteristic C–C graphene vibration mode (G-peak) and defects of GQDs (D-peak). The absorption spectra of GQDs samples were fabricated under different conditions, with the expectation of different sizes, to be compared and analyzed. These absorption spectra were also compared with those of the N-GQD produced under the same conditions. The absorption mechanism of GQDs and N-GQD will be presented in detail. Measurements of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra in GQDs and N-GQD have also been recorded and analyzed. The ?uorescence mechanism will be presented, explained, and compared with other international publications of other authors. Some of the TEM and HR-TEM images of these two samples were also presented to con?rm the shape, size and in-plane spacing lattice of the GQD structure.

Three-dimensional Nanoscale Mapping of Porosity in Solution-Processed ITO Multilayer Thin Films for Patternable Transparent Electrodes
摘要： Indium tin oxide (ITO) films constitute components of many layered heterostructures used for emergent technologies beyond conventional optoelectronics. Compositional and morphological changes have a direct impact on the device’s performance. Hence control over the morphology with advanced multimodal characterization approaches are required to evaluate the devices. Herein multilayer ITO films deposited by spin coating were quantified in nanoscale detail in three dimensions by combining results from depth-sensitive neutron reflectometry (NR), non-contact topographic AFM images and cross-sectional SEM images. Films with different number of deposited layers were visually transparent even though the topmost layer was as high as 60% porous, with porosity gradually decreasing as the number of the underneath sublayers increased. Surface and interfacial roughness through the total film and individual layer thickness were obtained. NR data also furnished quantitative depth information on the films chemical composition and layer-by-layer bulk density, which has never been obtained before, providing a way to monitor and ultimately control the sheet resistivity via the pore network. When the same formulation is used for inkjet printing patterns, the larger pores disappear and the optical properties are improved to >90% transmittance at all visible wavelengths. All 5L films achieved sheet resistivities as low as 10-2 ?-cm and can therefore be used as patternable transparent electrodes for many devices including liquid crystal displays.

dz2 Orbitals Mediated Bound Magnetic Polarons in Ferromagnetic Ce Doped BaTiO3 Nanoparticles and its Enriched Two Photon Absorption Cross Section
摘要： Enriched ferromagnetism and two photon absorption (TPA) cross section of perovskite BaTiO3 nanoparticles are indispensible for magnetic and optical data storage applications. In this work, the hydrothermally synthesized Ce doped BaTiO3 nanoparticles exhibit the maximum room temperature ferromagnetism (4.26×10-3 emu/g) at 4 mol% due to the increase of oxygen vacancies as evidenced by X-ray photoelectron, electron spin resonance spectroscopies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Hence, the oxygen vacancy constituted bound magnetic polaron (BMP) model has been invoked to explain the enhancement of ferromagnetism. BMP theoretical model indicates the increase of BMP magnetization (M0, 3.0 to 4.8×10-3 emu/g) and true spontaneous moment per BMP (meff, 4 to 9.88×10-4 emu) on Ce doping. DFT calculations show that BMPs mediate via Ti d orbitals leading to the ferromagnetism. Besides, it is understood that the magnetic moment induced by Ce at Ba site is higher than Ce at Ti site in the presence of oxygen vacancies. Open aperture Z-scan technique displays the highest TPA coefficient β (7.08×10-10 m/W) and TPA cross section σTPA (455×104 GM) at 4 mol% of Ce as a result of robust TPA induced excited state absorption. A large σTPA is attributed to the longer excited state lifetime τ (7.63 ns) of charge carriers created by oxygen vacancies and Ce ions which encounter several electronic transitions in the excited sub-states.

Non-radiation creation of complex centers in wide-gap oxide crystals
摘要： It is shown that complex aggregate centers of oxygen divacancy type (F2 centers) and interstitial aluminum type near the anion vacancy (Ali+) are formed in anion-deficient crystals of corundum (α-Al2O3-δ) and beryllium oxide (BeO1-δ) under thermo-optical treatment (TOT). These centers are similar to those created in stoichiometric α-Al2O3 and BeO crystals under neutron irradiation. It is important to note that thermal stability of the TOT-created complex centers is higher than that of similar neutron-induced centers. It is also established that the probability of their formation is related to the temperature of the TOT, the wavelength of the stimulating light, and the initial anionic deficiency manifested as F+ and F centers (anion vacancies with one and two electrons, respectively).

Excitation energy transfer in the far-red absorbing violaxanthin/vaucheriaxanthin chlorophyll a complex from the eustigmatophyte alga FP5
摘要： This work highlights spectroscopic investigations on a new representative of photosynthetic antenna complexes in the LHC family, a putative violaxanthin/vaucheriaxanthin chlorophyll a (VCP) antenna complex from a freshwater Eustigmatophyte alga FP5. A representative VCP-like complex, named as VCP-B3 was studied with both static and time-resolved spectroscopies with the aim of obtaining a deeper understanding of excitation energy migration within the pigment array of the complex. Compared to other VCP representatives, the absorption spectrum of the VCP-B3 is strongly altered in the range of the chlorophyll a Qy band, and is substantially red-shifted with the longest wavelength absorption band at 707 nm at 77 K. VCP-B3 shows a moderate xanthophyll-to-chlorophyll a efficiency of excitation energy transfer in the 50–60% range, 20–30% lower from comparable VCP complexes from other organisms. Transient absorption studies accompanied by detailed data fitting and simulations support the idea that the xanthophylls that occupy the central part of the complex, complementary to luteins in the LHCII, are violaxanthins. Target analysis suggests that the primary route of xanthophyll-to-chlorophyll a energy transfer occurs via the xanthophyll S1 state.

Surface decoration of BiOCl with BiVO<sub>4</sub> particles towards enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance
摘要： BiVO4/BiOCl p-n junctioned photocatalysts were synthesized by surface replacement of pre-synthesized BiOCl with BiVO4 via a hydrothermal route. BiVO4 particles were decorated on the surface of BiOCl, the structures of which were favored of maximizing absorption of visible light. The photocatalytic activity of the heterojunctioned composites were evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye under visible light illumination. The results indicated that the composites exhibited superior efficiencies for RhB photodegradation in comparison with pure BiOCl, BiVO4 and BiOCl/BiVO4 with similar compositions. The 30% BiVO4/BiOCl exhibited an optimal photocatalytic activity due to the combinative effects of large visible-light absorbance and carrier separation. Experiments on scavenging active intermediates demonstrated that the enhanced photoactivity was primarily attributed to the formation of p-n junction. An effective built-in electric field was formed by the interface between p-type BiOCl and n-type BiVO4, which promoted the efficient separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs.
