The article describes the structure and the operation principle of the spectrophotometer developed on the basis of a compact rapid monochromator with one input port and two output ports and a radiometric unit where upwelling radiation radiance and sea surface irradiance channels are located. A new approach to measurements of spectral characteristics of upwelling radiation of sea based on combination of advantages of a double beam photometer with a photomultiplier and a directreading photometer with a highstability silicon photodiode for its absolute adjustment in energy units is implemented.

AbstractCdS/HgS/CdS nanoparticles consist of a CdS core, epitaxially covered by one or two monolayers of HgS and additional cladding layers of CdS. The present paper describes our efforts to identify the influence of CdS/HgS/CdS interfaces on the localization of the photogenerated carriers deduced from the magneto-optical properties of the materials. These were investigated by the utilization of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and double-beam photoluminescence spectroscopy. A photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the studied material, consists of a dominant exciton located at the HgS layer, and additional non-excitonic band, presumably corresponding to the recombination of trapped carriers at the interface. The latter band can be attenuated using an additional red excitation. The ODMR measurements show the existence of two kinds of electron-hole recombination. These electron-hole pairs maybe trapped either at a twin packing of a CdS/HgS interface, or at an edge dislocation of an epitaxial HgS or a CdS cladding layer.

Background: In the recent years, the green synthesis of nanoparticles has taken a lead role over the conventional chemical and physical approach due to its non-toxic, cost effective parameters and has found its place in various applications. Objectives: The major objectives of this study was to synthesise and characterize the copper nanoparticles using the rose extract at different set of conditions and analyse these nanoparticles as a source of dye degradation agent under sunlight conditions. Methods: Present study was conducted with the aim to synthesis the copper nanoparticle using the rose petal extract. The components present the in the extract act as the reduction and stabilization agents for the synthesis of CuNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-VIS, FTIR, XRD and SEM analysis. Photocatalytic degradation of two dyes (Malachite Green and Carbol fuchsin) was analysed using double beam spectroscopic analysis Results: UV-Vis analysis indicated the presence of a peak at around 630 nm. The FT-IR analysis indicated the involvement of various biomolecules during the synthesis of nanoparticles. The structure and the conformation was elucidated using XRD and SEM showed the agglomerated form of the synthesized nanoparticles with the size range of about 60-90 nm. The synthesised copper nanoparticles was used for degradation of malachite green and carbol fuchsin dye using photocatalytic under sunlight irradiation. UV-Vis spectral analysis indicated that synthesised copper nanoparticle act more effective in degradation of malachite green (around 95%) whereas carbol fuchsin showed a maximum degradation by 52% therefore suggesting that CuNPs act as an efficient photo catalyst in dye degradation. Conclusion: The results obtained from this study indicates that rose extract has the potential of synthesis of copper nanoparticles which is non-toxic and convenient approach as compared to physical and chemical synthesis. These nanoparticles can be effectively employed as dye decolourization agents to treat industrial effluent and prevent the environmental pollution.

Background:: Ultrasound is widely used in the applications of underwater imaging. Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) is a promising candidate to the traditional piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. In underwater ultrasound imaging, better resolutions can be achieved with a higher frequency ultrasound. Therefore, a CMUT array for high-frequency ultrasound imaging is proposed in this work. Methods:: Analytical methods are used to calculate the center frequency in water and the pull-in voltage for determining the operating point of CMUT. Finite element method model was developed to finalize the design parameters. The CMUT array was fabricated with a five-mask sacrificial release process. Results:: The CMUT array owned an immersed center frequency of 2.6 MHz with a 6 dB fractional bandwidth of 123 %. The pull-in voltage of the CMUT array was 85 V. An underwater imaging experiment was carried out with the target of three steel wires. Conclusion:: In this study, we have developed CMUT for high-frequency underwater imaging. The experiment showed that the CMUT can detect the steel wires with the diameter of 100 μm and the axial resolution was 0.582 mm, which is close to one wavelength of ultrasound in 2.6 MHz.
