Considered in this work are the possibility and advantages of applying a Ge photodiode to measure the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in the near infrared range (IR). The investigations were performed using the prototype of IR SPR refractometer that operates with two fixed wavelengths (1310 and 1552 nm) for excitation of surface plasmons in a thin gold film in the Kretschmann optical scheme. The obtained results of experiments enabled us to draw the conclusion that application of the Ge photodiode in the SPR sensor at the wavelength 1.5 µm allows increasing the sensitivity and response magnitude as well as widening the dynamic range of this sensor device.

As a kind of promising material for a Faraday isolator used in the visible and near infrared range, Dy2O3 transparent ceramics were prepared by vacuum sintering from the nano-powders synthesized by the liquid precipitation method using ammonium hydrogen carbonate as precipitant with no sintering aids. The synthesized precursor was calcinated at 950 °C–1150 °C for 4 h in air. The influences of the calcination temperature on the morphologies and phase composition of Dy2O3 powders were characterized. It is found that the Dy2O3 powder calcinated at 1000 °C for 4 h is superior for the fabrication of Dy2O3 ceramics. The Dy2O3 transparent ceramic sample prepared by vacuum sintering at 1850 °C for 10 h, and subsequently with air annealing at 1400 °C for 10 h, from the 1000 °C-calcined Dy2O3 powders, presents the best optical quality. The values of in-line transmittance of the optimal ceramic specimen with the thickness of 1.0 mm are 75.3% at 2000 nm and 67.9% at 633 nm. The Verdet constant of Dy2O3 ceramics was measured to be −325.3 ± 1.9 rad/(T·m) at 633 nm, about 2.4 times larger than that of TGG (Tb3Ga5O12) single crystals.

Abstract. DC, also referred to as Delta-C, measures enhanced light absorption of particulate matter (PM) samples at the near-ultraviolet (UV) range relative to the near-infrared range, which has been proposed previously as a woodsmoke marker due to the presence of enhanced UV light absorbing materials from wood combustion. In this paper, we further evaluated the applications and limitations of using DC as both a qualitative and semi-quantitative woodsmoke marker via joint continuous measurements of PM2.5 (by nephelometer pDR-1500) and light-absorptive PM (by 2-wavelength and 7-wavelength Aethalometer®) in three Northeastern U.S. cities/towns including Rutland, VT, Saranac Lake, NY and Ithaca, NY. We compared the pDR-1500 against a FEM PM2.5 sampler (BAM 1020), and identified a close agreement between the two instruments in a woodsmoke-dominated ambient environment. The analysis of seasonal and diurnal trends of DC, BC (880 nm) and PM2.5 concentrations supports the use of DC as an adequate qualitative marker. The strong linear relationships between PM2.5 and DC in both woodsmoke-dominated ambient and plume environments suggest that DC can reasonably serve as a semi-quantitative woodsmoke marker. We proposed a DC-based indicator for woodsmoke emission, which was then shown to exhibit relatively strong linear relationship with heating demand. While we observed reproducible PM2.5-DC relationships in similar woodsmoke-dominated ambient environments, those relationships differ significantly with different environments, and among individual woodsmoke sources. DC correlated much more closely with PM2.5 than EcoChem PAS2000-reported PAH in woodsmoke-dominated ambient environments. Our analysis also indicates the potential for PM2.5-DC relationships to be utilized to distinguish different combustion and operating conditions of woodsmoke sources, and that DC-Heating demand relationships could be adopted to estimate woodsmoke emissions. However, future studies are needed to elucidate those relationships.

Complex chalcogenides display semiconductor properties. In particular, heavy metal compounds that are formed in the Tl2Se-Sb2Se3 system are good thermoelectric materials. At the same time TlSbP2Se6 compound belongs to the family of hexaseleno-hypodiphosphates, which representatives have a number of interesting properties (optoelectric, non-linear, etc.) in the near infrared range. The combination of these properties in one material causes some scientific and practical interest, therefore our research was aimed to study the nature of the interaction between TlSbP2Se6 and the thermally stable phases of the Tl2Se-Sb2Se3 system in order to find new promising candidate for applications in electronic devices. The alloys were prepared from corresponding binary, ternary compounds and quaternary TlSbP2Se6 by a direct one-temperature method in evacuated quartz ampoules at temperatures above the melting point of the initial and final products. The initial compounds were synthesized by the reaction of their high purity component elements in stoichiometric proportion. According to the results of the research, it was found that cross-sections based on TlSbP2Se6 and the thermally stable compounds of the Tl2Se-Sb2Se3 section are quasibinary: Sb2Se3–TlSbP2Se6 and TlSbSe2–TlSbP2Se6. Tl9SbSe6 – TlSbP2Se6 and Tl2Se - TlSbP2Se6 systems are not quasibinary, instead quasibinary sections Tl2Se-Tl4P2Se6 and Tl9SbSe6-Tl4P2Se6 which crossing their. The phase equilibrium in Sb2Se3 – TlSbP2Se6 and TlSbSe2 – TlSbP2Se6 systems were studied by common differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and microstructure analysis. The eutectic interactions are observed in both systems. The invariant points coordinates are: 77 mol.% TlSbP2Se6, 709 K (system Sb2Se3 – TlSbP2Se6) and 45 mol.% TISbSe2, 680 K (system TlSbSe2 – TlSbP2Se6). Significant boundary solid solutions are formed on the basis of the quaternary compound. Their region extends up to 10 mol% in the system Sb2Se3 – TlSbP2Se6 and to about 18 mol.% in the system TlSbSe2 –TlSbP2Se6 at annealing temperature (573 К). Near the Sb2Se3 and TlSbSe2, the solubility limits do not exceed several mol.%.
