The sensitivity and linear range of three graphite tubes were compared. By using optical temperature control accessory, the signals are enhanced by a factor of 2 and the germanium interferences in the determination of silicon are eliminated. The effects of time constant and carrier gas flow-rate on the determination of silicon were also tested. The sample can be directly analyzed in its aqueous solution without any pretreatment. The measurements of samples containing 0. 2 μg/mL and 0. 4 μg/mL silicon were run ten times and the variation coefficient is 4. 9% and 2.6%, respectively. The recovery tests for carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide(Ge-132) synthesized and imported were performed, and the recoveries are 97. 0% and 110%, respectively.

The dependence of optical properties of the coatings and the coating composition, on the substrate temperature was studied. The results of the optical properties show that as the substrate temperature increases, a visible transmittance as high as 65% can be obtained. When the substrate temperature is higher than 370℃ , the infrared reflectance decreases. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) show that when the substrate temperature is higher than 520℃ in oxygen atmosphere, the formation of thin surface over-layers (TiNxOy,) on top of the TiN films can be observed. When the substrate temperature is at 62℃ , the oxynitride become TiO2, which results in the optical degradation of TiN layer in infrared reflectance.展开更多

We first design a temperature control module integrated with an optical scanning probe to precisely control the temperature of skin tissues. We investigate the influence of temperature on NIGM with OCT by correlation analysis at different depths of in vivo human skin. On average, the relative changes in attenuation coefficient（ μt） per 1 °C of temperature lead to 0.30 ± 0.097 mmol/L prediction error of blood glucose concentration. For NIGM measurement methods using optical properties of the tissues, this effect can be taken into account.展开更多
