The emission spectrum of a xenon high-pressure arc lamp provides a reasonable approximation to the ultraviolet-visible region of terrestrial sunlight. This lamp has therefore been employed in a variety of laboratory testing equipment designed to predict the useful outdoor lifetime of plastics, textiles, dyes, asphalt, etc. Several methods of operation (ASTM and Atlas) of an Atlas 6000W xenon arc Weather-Ometer have been examined, and the necessity of monitoring intensities at both ultraviolet (at 340 nm) and visible (at 420 nm) wavelengths is illustrated. Lamp aging has been found to be the main factor in decreasing lamp intensity. Xenon lamp control at intensities similar to noon summer sunlight at 340 nm gives short lamp lifetimes of approximately 400 h. Operation of the arc at lower wattages (3500–5000W) has been found to provide a stable lamp intensity for much longer periods—approximately 2000 h.

ABSTRACTIn cubic boron nitride made by high pressure and high temperature technique in our institute, we have found three luminescence bands in the ultraviolet and the short visible region at room temperature by cathode-ray excitation. They are: a band having vibrational structure and ascribable to undoped state of the crystal, a band ascribable to p-type doping and a band ascribable to n-type doping. Discussion is made on differences between the injection luminescence and the cathodoluminescence. Potentialities and difficulties in realizing the potentialities of cBN for optoelectronic applications are discussed.

The undoped and Mo-doped TiO2nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance UV-visible absorption spectra (UV-vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under irradiation of a 500 W xenon lamp and natural solar light outdoor. Effects of calcination temperatures and Mo doping amounts on crystal phase, crystallite size, lattice distortion, and optical properties were investigated. The results showed that most of Mo6+took the place of Ti4+in the crystal lattice of TiO2, which inhibited the growth of crystallite size, suppressed the transformation from anatase to rutile, and led to lattice distortion of TiO2. Mo doping narrowed the band gap (from 3.05 eV of TiO2to 2.73 eV of TiMo0.02O) and efficiently increased the optical absorption in visible region. Mo doping was shown to be an efficient method for degradation of methylene blue under visible light, especially under solar light. When the calcination temperature was 550°C and the Mo doping amount was 2.0%, the Mo-doped TiO2sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity.

The emission spectrum of the A–X system of the PbBr molecule in the region 4 600–5 900 Å has been obtained in the second order of a 21-ft concave grating spectrograph (15 000 lines per inch) with a dispersion of 1.25 Å/mm. A rotational analysis of four bands—(3, 2), (2, 2), (3, 1), and (4, 1)—of this system has been done, leading to the determination of the following rotational constants:[Formula: see text]The system appears to be similar to the A-X system of the PbCl molecule in the visible region, and a [Formula: see text] transition has been suggested.
