We have used a photon-counting array detector at the coudé spectrograph of the Mt. Wilson 2.5-m reflector to follow changes in the near-infrared spectrum of U Geminorum around most of the orbit. A preliminary analysis of two series of exposures shows radial velocity variations in the Na I absorption doublet at λ8183 and λ8195, at the orbital frequency and with the orbital phase appropriate for the M5-type secondary star. A first attempt to detect the K I line at λ7699 was unsuccessful.

V923 Aquilae (HD 183656) is a Be star which shows emission in Hα, cyclic V/R variations and variations in the near infrared region. This star displays a shell spectrum recognized by Harper(1937) and Bidelman (1950) who both remarked the presence of shell H lines, strong Fe II lines and variable radial velocity. Koubský et al. (1989) proposed V923 Aquilae to be a spectroscopy binary with an orbital period of 214.756 days and a semi-amplitude of 6.2 km/s. Iliev et al. (1994) found a correlation between the changes of the Balmer progression and the asymmetries of the Balmer lines with the orbital phase, considering the period calculated by Koubský.

To help constrain the origin of the peculiar X-ray emission of γ Cas stars, we conducted a simultaneous optical and X-ray monitoring of π Aqr in 2018. At that time, the star appeared optically bright and active, with a very strong Hα emission. Our monitoring covers three 84 d orbital cycles, allowing us to probe phase-locked variations as well as longer-term changes. In the new optical data, the radial velocity variations seem to span a smaller range than previously reported, which might indicate possible biases. The X-ray emission is variable, but without any obvious correlation with orbital phase or Hα line strength. Furthermore, the average X-ray flux and the relative range of flux variations are similar to those recorded in previous data, although the latter data were taken when the star was less bright and its disk had nearly entirely disappeared. Only the local absorption component in the X-ray spectrum appears to have strengthened in the new data. This absence of large changes in X-ray properties despite dramatic disk changes appears at odds with previous observations of other γ Cas stars. It also constrains scenarios proposed to explain the γ Cas phenomenon.

We investigated the near-infrared spectrum of piperine using quantum mechanical calculations. We evaluated two efficient approaches, DVPT2//PM6 and DVPT2//ONIOM [PM6:B3LYP/6-311++G(2df, 2pd)] that yielded a simulated spectrum with varying accuracy versus computing time factor. We performed vibrational assignments and unveiled complex nature of the near-infrared spectrum of piperine, resulting from a high level of band convolution. The most meaningful contribution to the near-infrared absorption of piperine results from binary combination bands. With the available detailed near-infrared assignment of piperine, we interpreted the properties of partial least square regression models constructed in our earlier study to describe the piperine content in black pepper samples. Two models were compared with spectral data sets obtained with a benchtop and a miniaturized spectrometer. The two spectrometers implement distinct technology which leads to a profound instrumental difference and discrepancy in the predictive performance when analyzing piperine content. We concluded that the sensitivity of the two instruments to certain types of piperine vibrations is different and that the benchtop spectrometer unveiled higher selectivity. Such difference in obtaining chemical information from a sample can be one of the reasons why the benchtop spectrometer performs better in analyzing the piperine content of black pepper. This evidenced direct correspondence between the features critical for applied near-infrared spectroscopic routine and the underlying vibrational properties of the analyzed constituent in a complex sample.

AbstractA simple fabrication of end-bonded contacts InAsSb NW (nanowire) array detector to weak light is demonstrated in this study. The detector is fabricated using InAsSb NW array grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrate. The metal-induced gap states are induced by the end-bonded contact which suppresses the dark current at various temperatures. The existence of the interface dipole due to the interfacial gap states enhances the light excitation around the local field and thus upgrades the photoresponsivity and photodetectivity to the weak light. The light intensity of the infrared light source in this report is 14 nW/cm2 which is about 3 to 4 orders of magnitude less than the laser source. The responsivity of the detector has reached 28.57 A/W at room temperature with the light (945 nm) radiation, while the detectivity is 4.81 × 1011 cm·Hz1/2 W−1. Anomalous temperature-dependent performance emerges at the variable temperature experiments, and we discussed the detailed mechanism behind the nonlinear relationship between the photoresponse of the device and temperatures. Besides, the optoelectronic characteristics of the detector clarified that the light-trapping effect and photogating effect of the NWs can enhance the photoresponse to the weak light across ultraviolet to near-infrared. These results highlight the feasibility of the InAsSb NW array detector to the infrared weak light without a cooling system.
