Determination of Pigments in Virgin and Extra-Virgin Olive Oils: A Comparison between Two Near UV-Vis Spectroscopic Techniques
摘要： The colour of olive oil is due to the presence of natural pigments belonging to the class of carotenoids, chlorophylls, and their derivatives. These substances, other than being responsible for the colour, an important qualitative feature of the oil, have antioxidant and, more generally, nutraceutical properties and their quantification can be related to the product’s quality and authenticity. In this work, we have quantified the total amount of carotenoids and chlorophylls’ derivatives in several virgin and extra-virgin olive oils produced in Italy, by using two different methods that are based on near-ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The first method defines two indexes, K670 and K470, related to absorbance values of oil at wavelengths of 670 and 470 nm, respectively. The second method is based on the mathematical deconvolution of the whole absorption spectrum of the oil to obtain the concentrations of four main pigments present in olive oils: β-carotene, lutein, pheophytin A, and pheophytin B. The concentrations of the total carotenoids and total chlorophylls’ derivatives, as obtained by the two spectroscopic methods, are compared and the results are discussed in view of the practical usefulness of spectroscopic techniques for a fast determination of pigments in olive oil.

Cu-Doped ZnO Electronic Structure and Optical Properties Studied by First-Principles Calculations and Experiments
摘要： The band structure, the density of states and optical absorption properties of Cu-doped ZnO were studied by the ?rst-principles generalized gradient approximation plane-wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory. For the Zn1-xCuxO (x = 0, x = 0.0278, x = 0.0417) original structure, geometric optimization and energy calculations were performed and compared with experimental results. With increasing Cu concentration, the band gap of the Zn1-xCuxO decreased due to the shift of the conduction band. Since the impurity level was introduced after Cu doping, the conduction band was moved downwards. Additionally, it was shown that the insertion of a Cu atom leads to a red shift of the optical absorption edge, which was consistent with the experimental results.

Time-Resolved Spectroscopic Study of N,N-Di(4-bromo)nitrenium Ions in Selected Solutions
摘要： Nitrenium ions are important reactive intermediates in chemistry and biology. In this work, femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption (fs-TA and ns-TA) along with nanosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (ns-TR3) experiments were employed to examine the photochemical pathways of N-(4,4′-dibromodiphenylamino)-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium BF4? (salt (DN) from just absorption of a photon of light to the production of the important N,N-di(4-bromophenyl)nitrenium ion 2. In acetonitrile (MeCN), the formation of halogenated diarylnitrenium ion 2 was observed within 4 ps, showing the vibrational spectra with strong intensity. The nucleophilic adduct reaction of ion 2 with H2O was also examined in aqueous solutions. The direct detection of the unique ortho adduct intermediate 3 shows that there is an efficient and exclusive reaction pathway for 2 with H2O. The results shown in this paper give new characterization of 2, which can be used to design time-resolved spectroscopy investigations of covalent addition reactions of nitrenium ions with other molecules in future studies.

Response Time of a Fiber Bragg Grating Based Hydrogen Sensor for Transformer Monitoring
摘要： We developed and optimized a new fiber optic sensor using palladium foils attached to optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) for hydrogen measurements. Fifteen in parallel processed sensors were characterized and qualified in two custom tailored experimental set ups and their response to a 5% hydrogen/nitrogen gas mixture and the same gas bubbled trough transformer oil was measured. The hydrogen response is similar for both medium and close to the theoretical maximum sensitivity, but the response time was found to be very different, much slower in oil than in gas. A theoretical comparison of hydrogen diffusion trough palladium and hydrogen absorption on the palladium surface as well as a measurement of the hydrogen uptake and diffusion trough the oil to the sensor have been done to investigate the origin of the different response time. They indicate that the response time determining step is the absorption of hydrogen on the palladium surface and that this process is slowed down in oil compared to a pure gas environment.

Changes of the absorption cross section of Si nanocrystals with temperature and distance
摘要： The absorption cross section (ACS) of silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) in single-layer and multilayer structures with variable thickness of oxide barriers is determined via a photoluminescence (PL) modulation technique that is based on the analysis of excitation intensity-dependent PL kinetics under modulated pumping. We clearly demonstrate that roughly doubling the barrier thickness (from ca. 1 to 2.2 nm) induces a decrease of the ACS by a factor of 1.5. An optimum separation barrier thickness of ca. 1.6 nm is calculated to maximize the PL intensity yield. This large variation of ACS values with barrier thickness is attributed to a modulation of either defect population states or of the efficiency of energy transfer between confined NC layers. An exponential decrease of the ACS with decreasing temperature down to 120 K can be explained by smaller occupation number of phonons and expansion of the band gap of Si NCs at low temperatures. This study clearly shows that the ACS of Si NCs cannot be considered as independent on experimental conditions and sample parameters.

A limiting absorption principle for the Helmholtz equation with variable coefficients
摘要： We prove a limiting absorption principle for a generalized Helmholtz equation on an exterior domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions under a Sommerfeld radiation condition at infinity. The operator L is a second order elliptic operator with variable coefficients; the principal part is a small, long range perturbation of the Laplacian, while lower order terms can be singular and large. The main tool is a sharp uniform resolvent estimate, which has independent applications to the problem of embedded eigenvalues and to smoothing estimates for dispersive equations.

Nitrogen Adsorption of Si(100) Surface by Plasma Excited Ammonia
摘要： Nitrogen adsorption on thermally cleaned Si(100) surfaces by pure and plasma excited NH3 is investigated by in situ IR absorption spectroscopy and ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with various temperatures from RT (25?C) to 800?C and with a treatment time of 5 min. The nitrogen coverage after the treatment varies according to the treatment temperature for both pure and plasma excited NH3. In case of the pure NH3, the nitrogen coverage is saturated as low as 0.13–0.25 mono layer (ML) while the growth of the nitride ?lm commenced at 550?C. For the plasma excited NH3, the saturation coverage was measured at 0.54 ML at RT and it remained unincreased from RT to 550?C. This indicates that the plasma excited NH3 enhances the nitrogen adsorption near at RT. It is found that main species of N is Si2 = NH in case of the plasma excited NH3 at RT while the pure NH3 treatment gives rise to the Si–NH2 passivation with Si–H at RT. We discuss the mechanism of the nitrogen adsorption on Si(100) surfaces with the plasma excited NH3 in comparison with the study on the pure NH3 treatment.

Lean Body Mass Assessment Based on UV Absorbance in Spent Dialysate and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
摘要： Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of assessing lean body mass (LBM) based on UV absorbance measurements in spent dialysate. Methods: 9 patients on chronic three-times-a-week HD (4 female, 5 male, mean age 58.8 ± 8.6 years) were studied. Blood and spent dialysate samples were collected for 3 consecutive hemodialysis (HD) sessions from every patient. A double-beam spectrophotometer was used for the determination of UV absorbance in the collected spent dialysate samples. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were performed on an interdialytic day. LBM was calculated based on creatinine concentration in blood (LBMblood) and UV absorbance in spent dialysate (LBMa) and assessed by DXA (LBMDXA). Also, in vitro experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of tissue hydration on DXA measurements. Results: Although LBMa was slightly lower compared to LBMblood, the estimates based on UV absorbance in spent dialysate presented greater accuracy and precision compared to LBMDXA. The significant difference between LBMblood and LBMDXA was with high probability caused by the altered tissue hydration of HD patents. Conclusions: In summary, the results show that it is possible to asses LBM based on UV absorbance in spent dialysate.

Optical Characteristics of Zinc Oxide Films on Glass Substrates
摘要： An algorithm is developed for solving the inverse problem of multiangular spectrophotometry of a layer on a plane-parallel substrate of finite thickness using s- and p-polarized waves. It allows the dispersive properties of the layer and substrate to be studied both far from and in the vicinity of the resonant wavelengths. The dispersive properties of layers of pure and Al-doped ZnO on glass substrates are investigated using it. It is shown that doping shifts the absorption band maximum to shorter wavelength and decreases the refractive index of the material. The applicability limits of known approximate expressions for determining the spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient of a layer from spectrophotometric data are estimated.

Thickness dependence of structural, morphological and optical properties of Mn-Co-Ni-O thin films grown by chemical solution deposition on SiO2/Si(100) substrate
摘要： Mn1.56Co0.96Ni0.48O4 (MCNO) thin film with different thicknesses ranging from 180 nm to 600 nm were deposited onto a SiO2/Si(100) substrate at 600 °C by using the chemical solution deposition method. The thickness dependent structural and optical properties of the MCNO films were investigated in this study. As identified by the SEM pictures and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, all samples showed polycrystalline cubic spinel structure, and the stoichiometric status is improved with growing thickness according to XRD results. Spectroscopic ellipsometry spectra were measured in this study to investigate the thickness dependent optical properties of MCNO film in the range of 300-1000 nm. The samples showed three absorption structures locating at 1.6-1.9 eV, 2.6 eV, and above 3.5 eV, corresponding to the charge transfer transition involving 2p orbitals of O2- and 3d orbitals of Mn and Co ions, respectively. The absorption structure at above 3.5 eV decreases gradually as the thickness grows, while the peak around 1.6-1.9 eV weakens slightly before it enhances again with film thickness above 430 nm, which can be explained by a combined effect of crystallinity improvement and increase in Mn4+/Mn3+ ratio.
