The UV-Vis absorption of the silver nanoparticles changes dramatically with the addition of MB. However, no obvious changes of absorption spectra of MB are observed when silver colloids are added into the MB solution. In the presence of surfactant SDS, the catalysis of the silver nanoparticles in the reduction of MB by sodium borohydride is exhibited by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrosopy of MB displaying faster response compared with the absence of the silver nanoparticles. The results show that the activity of surfactant SDS modified silver nanoparticles is great and a strong physical adsorption to MB exists.展开更多

In the electroluminescence, the blue shift of spectrum with the decreasing of well width is observed for the device with different well width, and this is interpreted by combination of quantum size effect and exciton confinement effect. The blue shift of spectrum with increasing applied voltage is observed for the same device, and this is interpreted in terms of polarization effect and quantum size effect.展开更多

It allows attaining a minimum detectable absorption of 1.8× 10^-10cm^-1. The spectrometer is applied to record the overtone spectrum of ^12C2H2 in the 12240- 12350 cm-1. Compared with the previous CRDS and intra-cavity laser absorption spectroscopy studies in the same region, the present measurement achieved better sensitivity and better precision as well. As a result, the ro-vibrational parameters of the high overtone bands of acetylene at 12290.12, 12311.82, and 12350.61 cm^-1 have been refined. The advantages of the present CRD spectrometer is also demonstrated by the newly observed and well characterized perturbation on the f component of the very weak band near 12289 cm^-1. The quantitative measurement capability of the spectrometer is verified with the measurement of the water lines and employed to give the absolute band intensities of those three acetylene bands.展开更多

The results showed that the spectral distribution with wavelength clearly fit well with the grey-body spectrum. We have analyzed the emissions and discovered they mostly came from the shear banding, which is a typical thermal radiation. The radiance intensity changing linearly with time revealed it was a volume effect. All of the data from pyrometer can be explained by the model of Boslough's study, especially for pres- sures over megabar. The color temperature of shocked sapphire changing with increased stress disagrees with the computed melt curve which is likely explained by the differcnt phase structures of sapphire.展开更多
