ABSTRACTSurface lattice displacements of titanium dioxide (TiO2: rutile) during ultra-violet (UV) light irradiation have been investigated using a total reflection x-ray diffraction, which provides a high signal to noise ratio (S/N) and superior in-plane surface diffraction. Under the environments in vapors of H2O, CH3OH, C2H5OH and C3H6OH, the photo-catalytic activities of TiO2 (110), (100) and (001) surfaces subject to UV irradiation have been measured. It is found that the diffraction peaks and their full width half maxima (FWHMs) show some peculiarities with respect to the photo-catalytic activities in both surface lattices and adsorbed molecules in vapors. Furthermore, Kelvin force microscopy (KFM) has showed that there exists a very high surface potential, probably due to surface atom displacements induced by UV irradiation. With regard to the origin of the photo-catalytic activities, the induced surface potentials are discussed.

There are numerous methods has been investigated and developed for the preparation of thin and thick films. Thick film technology is utilized for the production of electronic devices like surface mount devices, in the preparation of hybrid integrated circuit, in the formulation of heating elements, in the construction of integrated passive devices and sensors. Pure tin oxide (SnO2) and composite 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9 % zirconium oxide (ZrO2) thick films of dimensions 2 cm×1 cm incorporated into pure tin oxide (SnO2) were prepared with standard screen printing method. All samples were fabricated on glass support. The thick films were subjected to drying and firing at 5000C at 5 hours in muffle furnace. Thick films of tin oxide (SnO2) and composite 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9 % zirconium oxide (ZrO2) incorporated into pure tin oxide (SnO2) were checked for Scanning Electron Microscopy (S.E.M), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (E.D.A.X), X-ray diffraction (X.R.D), Fourier Transform infra-Red (F.T.I.R) and Ultra-Violet-Visible spectroscopy (U.V) for surface morphology, elemental analysis, crystalline phases of films, vibrational and spectrophotometric study respectively. In this research paper the spectrophotometric parameters such as absorbance and absorption coefficient with pure and compositional thick films were a part of investigation and surveillance.

Metal oxide nanocomposite (ZnO-CuO) was successfully synthesized by one step homogeneous coprecipitation method and further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron micrograph (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra. XRD analysis exhibited presence of pure copper oxide and zinc oxide within the nanocomposite. SEM analysis indicated that the ZnO-CuO nanocomposite was consisted of flower shaped ZnO along with leaf shaped CuO. Photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite was evaluated in terms of degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye solution under ultra-violet radiation. Results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO-CuO nanocomposite was higher than its individual pure oxides (ZnO or CuO).

Nine X-ray-induced mutations of the bithorax complex (BX-C) have been isolated and characterized. They all show the typical features of the Ultrabithorax mutations. They are homozygous lethal, produce a slight enlargement of the haltere in heterozygous condition and fail to complement the mutations at the bx, bxd and pbx loci. Some of them are associated with chromosomal aberrations in the regions 89E 1-4, where the BX-C lies, while others appear normal cytologically. The effect of six of these mutants in the adult cuticle has been studied, producing mutant marked clones in heterozygous individuals. The clones were generated by X-radiation at two points in development: the blastoderm stage and the second larval period. In all cases mutant clones showed the same phenotype: clones appearing in the dorsal structures transform metathorax and first abdominal segment towards mesothorax. That is the additive effect of bx, bxd and pbx mutations. Clones in the legs, if induced during the larval period, show an effect homologous to that seen in the dorsal structures. However, when produced at blastoderm they show in addition a transformation of the posterior second (mesothoracic) and third (metathoracic) legs into the posterior first (prothoracic) leg. This transformation, named postprothorax (ppx) has been recently described for the alleles Ubx130 and Ubx1 (Morata & Kerridge, 1981) and appears to be general for the Ubxmutations. It is concluded that the realm of action of the Ubx gene is defined by part of the rflesothoracic segment (posterior second leg compartment) and the entire metathoracic and first abdominal segments.

Abstract Since the new millennium coherent extreme ultra-violet and soft x-ray radiation has revolutionized the understanding of dynamical physical, chemical and biological systems at the electron’s natural timescale. Unfortunately, coherent laser-based upconversion of infrared photons to vacuum-ultraviolet and soft x-ray high-order harmonics in gaseous, liquid and solid targets is notoriously inefficient. In dense nonlinear media, the limiting factor is strong re-absorption of the generated high-energy photons. Here we overcome this limitation by generating high-order harmonics from a periodic array of thin one-dimensional crystalline silicon ridge waveguides. Adding vacuum gaps between the ridges avoids the high absorption loss of the bulk and results in a ~ 100-fold increase of the extraction depth. As the grating period is varied, each high harmonic shows a different and marked modulation, indicating their waveguiding in the vacuum slots with reduced absorption. Looking ahead, our results enable bright on-chip coherent short-wavelength sources and may extend the usable spectral range of traditional nonlinear crystals to their absorption windows. Potential applications include on-chip chemically-sensitive spectro-nanoscopy.
