Abstract Pyroclastic density currents are ground hugging gas-particle flows moving at high speed down the volcano slope. They are among the most hazardous events of explosive volcanism, causing devastation and deaths1,2. Because of the hostile nature they cannot be analyzed directly and most of their fluid dynamic behavior is reconstructed by the deposits left in the geological record, which frequently show peculiar structures such as bedforms of the types of ripples and dunes3,4. In this paper, we simplify a set of equations that link flow behavior to particle motion and deposition. This allows, for the first time, the build up of a phase diagram by which the hazard of dilute pyroclastic density currents can be explored easily and quickly by inverting bedforms wavelength and grain size.

Nanometer-sized ZnO crystals with the diameter from 20 nm to 110 nm were prepared by homogenous precipitation method (HPM). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of as-prepared nanoparticles under excitation at the wavelength of 320 nm were detected. The PL spectra were fitted with Gaussian curves, in which a good fitting consisting of six Gaussian peaks was obtained. We observed that the multi-peak centers do not change much, while the relative amplitude of Gaussian combination to the band-to-band emission decreases rapidly with the increased grain size. It shows that the broadband emission at the lower energy is associated with the surface states.
