The vanadium dioxide is a material thermo chromium which sees its optical properties changing at the time of the transition from the phase of semiconductor state ↔ metal, at a critical temperature of 68°C. The study of the optical properties of a thin layer of VO₂ thickness 82 nm, such as the dielectric function, the index of refraction, the coefficient ofextinction, the absorption’s coefficient, the reflectivity, the transmittivity, in the photonic spectrum of energy ω located inthe interval: 0.001242 ≤ ω (ev) ≤ 6, enables us to control well its practical utility in various applications, like the intelligentpanes, the photovoltaic, paintings for increasing energy efficiency in buildings, detectors of infra-red (I.R) or ultra-violet(U.V). We will make simulations with Maple and compare our results with those of the literature

The vanadium dioxide VO₂ currently became very motivating for the nanotechnologies’ researchers. It makes party of the intelligent materials because these optical properties abruptly change semiconductor state with metal at a critical  temperature θ = 68°C. This transition from reversible phase is carried out from a monoclinical structure characterizing its semiconductor state at low temperature towards the metal state of this material which becomes tétragonal rutile for  θ ˃ 68°C ; it is done during a few nanoseconds. Several studies were made on this material in a massive state and a thin layer. We will simulate by Maple the constant optics of a thin layer of VO₂ thickness z = 82 nm for the metal state according to the energy ω of the incidental photons in the energy interval: 0.001242 ≤ ω(ev) ≤ 6, from the infra-red (I.R) to the ultra-violet (U.V) so as to be able to control the various technological nano applications, like the detectors I.R or the U.V,  the intelligent windows to  increase  the energy efficiency in the buildings in order to save the cost of energy consumption by electric air-conditioning and the paintings containing nano crystals of this material. The constant optics, which we will simulate, is: the index of refraction, the reflectivity, the transmittivity, the coefficient of extinction, the dielectric functions ԑ₁ real part and  ԑ₂  imaginary part of the permittivity complexes ԑ of this material and the coefficient absorption.

 We can easily extract the optical properties from a material starting from its permittivity complexes ԑ; . The real part of this dielectric function clearly takes its place in the Colombian interaction of an exciton. We are interested in exciton 1S in the case of the massive vanadium dioxide. We will solve Schrödinger’s equation for this exciton by variational method and we obtain  according to energy E of the same exciton. We make a simulation by means of the Maple software of   and of the index of refraction n according to energy E of the exciton 1S, around and far from the band gap of this material while being based on the approximation of the effective mass. We will extract the reflectivity R and transmittivity T of the massive vanadium dioxide for the normal incidence of the incidental photons by considering a slightly absorbent semiconductor state. 


Among a number of diamonds supplied to us by Professor W. T. Gordon, of King’s College, London, one, by a fortunate chance, was found to differ from the rest in its infra-red spectrum. Having confirmed by various methods th at a large absorption band at 8 g. present in the spectrum of all the other diamonds, was absent in this particular one, we explored photographically the ultra-violet spectrum of all the diamonds then available, and found th at the stone which was transparent at 8 p. in the infra-red was also transparent from about X 3000 to X 2250 in the ultra-violet, the other diamonds being opaque beyond X 3000. At this stage, between two and three hundred diamonds were examined visually by means of a simple ultra-violet spectroscope with fluorescent eye-piece without another diamond transparent beyond X 3000 being found. Among other physical and optical properties examined in comparison, little difference was found between diamonds of the usual and the transparent type : their waterwhiteness, density, refractive index, dielectric constant, Raman frequency and the earlier X-ray patterns appeared the same. A difference in the crystalline condition was, however, noted, for the transparent diamond was made up of a large number of parallel laminae, and it was also more nearly isotropic when examined by polarized light than the others.

New coordination oligomers and polymers of Sn(IV)-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin have been constructed by the chelation reaction of its diaxialphenolates with Cu2+. The structure and properties of the synthesized polyporphyrin arrays were investigated by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR), Infra Red (IR), Ultra Violet - Visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, Powder X-Rays Diffraction (PXRD), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), thermal gravimetric, elemental analysis, and quantum chemical calculations. The results show that the diaxial coordination of bidentate organic ligands (L-tyrazine and diaminohydroquinone) leads to the quenching of the tetrapyrrole chromophore fluorescence, while the chelation of the porphyrinate diaxial complexes with Cu2+ is accompanied by an increase in the fluorescence in the organo-inorganic hybrid polymers formed. The obtained results are of particular interest to those involved in creating new ‘chemo-responsive’ (i.e., selectively interacting with other chemical species as receptors, sensors, or photocatalysts) materials, the optoelectronic properties of which can be controlled by varying the number and connection type of monomeric fragments in the polyporphyrin arrays.

The index of refraction at 6328 Å has been measured for germane in the density range 0.15 to 0.9 g/cm3. The temperature and density ranges over which measurements are made are near the coexistence curve. The coefficient in the Lorenz–Lorentz expression, [Formula: see text], is constant to within 0.5% within experimental error for the temperature range and density range studied. The coefficient is slightly higher near the critical density. The critical density is measured to be 0.503 g/cm3. The critical temperature is measured to be 38.92 °C.

Hydrogen molecules exist in the form of two distinct isomers that can be interconverted by physical catalysis. These ortho and para forms have different thermodynamical properties. Over the last century, the catalysts developed to convert hydrogen from one form to another, in laboratories and industries, were magnetic and the interpretations relied on magnetic dipolar interactions. The variety concentration of a sample and the conversion rates induced by a catalytic action were mostly measured by thermal methods related to the diffusion of the o-p reaction heat. At the turning of the new century, the nature of the studied catalysts and the type of measures and motivations completely changed. Catalysts investigated now are non-magnetic and new spectroscopic measurements have been developed. After a fast survey of the past studies, the review details the spectroscopic methods, emphasizing their originalities, performances and refinements: how Infra-Red measurements characterize the catalytic sites and follow the conversion in real-time, Ultra-Violet irradiations explore the electronic nature of the reaction and hyper-frequencies driving the nuclear spins. The new catalysts, metallic or insulating, are detailed to display the operating electronic structure. New electromagnetic mechanisms, involving energy and momenta transfers, are discovered providing a classification frame for the newly observed reactions.

M. Fievez has recently sent me a map of the solar spectrum from C to A* inclusive, and as part of this region is one which I have been measuring, I have examined the new publication with great interest. Photography and eye measurements do not exactly coincide in the detail of the grouping of the little a group as far as A, and A itself is shown by M. Fievez’s map as wanting some details which appear in the photographs. Thus in the photographs there are some seventeen lines, whilst in M. Fievez’s map there are but thirteen. Between A and a there are several lines of marked intensity in the photograph which are not shown in the new map. The wave-lengths of the different lines from above “ a ” to A are not the same as those given by Fievez, when they are taken from comparison photo-graphs of the 1st order of the red and 2nd of the ultra-violet on the same plate, or when checked by photographs of the 2nd order of the red with the 3rd order of the green taken in a similar manner. In my paper, “Phil. Trans.,” Part II, 1880, I gave a method of using mirrors by which this could be effected, but since Professor Rowland introduced his concave gratings this is much more readily carried out. He has kindly furnished me with gratings for the purpose, having about 14,400 lines to the inch, with focal distances of 7 feet 6 inches and 12 feet 6 inches respectively. These have been employed in determining the wave-lengths of this part of the spectrum. Cornu’s map was used as a reference for the ultra-violet wave-lengths, and Ångström’s map for those in the blue and green. The two maps may be taken as equally exact. The determination of A has been made by Maseart, Smyth, and others, besides Ångström and Langley, with discordant results. I think the above may be taken as accurate as are Cornu’s and Ångström maps.
