Absorption Measurements

We report on the observation of quantum confinement effects and the influence of surface-related states due to the formation of nanograins on ultrashort relaxation near the direct critical points of silicon nanofilms following UV-excitation. Direct photoexcitation of the samples in the vicinity of the critical points of the first Brillouin zone has been achieved using femtosecond pulses in the spectra range of 290–400 nm. Transient absorption measurements show a substantial enhancement of state filling with decreasing the film thickness down to 5 nm due to quantum confinement in the z-direction. Furthermore, the state filling of surface-related states of nanograins suggests that the critical points of these states follow the ellipsometry extracted energy-curve.

Spectroscopic properties of neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride were measured at different temperatures from 35 K to 350 K in specimens with 1 at% Nd3+ concentration. The absorption spectrum was measured at room temperature from 400 to 900 nm. The decay dynamics of the 4F3/2 multiplet was investigated by measuring the fluorescence lifetime as a function of the sample temperature, and the radiative decay time was derived by extrapolation to 0 K. The stimulated-emission cross-sections of the transitions from the 4F3/2 to the 4I9/2, 4I11/2, and 4I13/2 levels were obtained from the fluorescence spectrum measured at different temperatures, using the Aull–Jenssen technique. The results show consistency with most results previously published at room temperature, extending them over a broader range of temperatures. A semi-empirical formula for the magnitude of the stimulated-emission cross-section as a function of temperature in the 250 K to 350 K temperature range, is presented for the most intense transitions to the 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 levels.

The Difference

This study aimed to analyse and compare apical extrusion of debris in canals instrumented with systems used in reciprocating and continuous motion. Sixty mandibular premolars were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=20): the Reciproc (REC), WaveOne (WO), and HyFlex CM (HYF) groups. One Eppendorf tube per tooth was weighed in advance on an analytical balance. The root canals were instrumented according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and standardised irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite was performed to a total volume of 9 mL. After instrumentation, the teeth were removed from the Eppendorf tubes and incubated at 37°C for 15 days to evaporate the liquid. The tubes were weighed again, and the difference between the initial and final weight was calculated to determine the weight of the debris. The data were statistically analysed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney tests (α=5%). All systems resulted in the apical extrusion of debris. Reciproc produced significantly more debris than WaveOne (p<0.05), and both systems produced a greater apical extrusion of debris than HyFlex CM (p<0.001). Cross section and motion influenced the results, despite tip standardization.

The Difference

SummaryThe dissociation of casein aggregates by the detergent sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gave rise to difference spectra and these spectra were characteristic for each of the different types of casein. Increase in absorption by the chromophore groups, tyrosine and tryptophan, when αs1- and β-casein aggregates were dissociated indicated binding of the detergent at regions of the molecule containing these residues. A decrease in absorption when κ-casein was dissociated indicated that the tyrosine and tryptophan residues were not in the region of the molecule to which the detergent was bound and that in the κ-casein aggregate these residues were in a more hydrophobic environment. Peaks on the difference spectra were obtained at 280 and 288 nm for αs1-casein and 284 and 291 nm for β-casein and troughs at 278 and 286 nm for κ-casein. The difference spectrum reached a maximum value when the αsl- and β-casein aggregates were dissociated and the further binding of SDS did not alter this value. The large negative change in the difference spectrum of κ-casein did not occur until after most of the aggregates were dissociated and did not reach a maximum until binding with SDS was complete. The value obtained for ΔOD was found to be temperature-dependent for β-casein-SDS interaction, but not for αs1- and κ-casein. Changes in spectra were also observed when αs1- and κ-casein interacted to form aggregates. The data obtained confirmed the importance of hydrophobic binding in casein aggregate formation and indicated the possible involvement of tyrosine and tryptophan residues in this binding.

In the design of photocathode, the internal electric field could be formed due to the graded Al compositional [Formula: see text] nanostructure, which can improve the top surface emission probability of carriers. In this paper, [Formula: see text] nanostructure array photocathode composed of two sub-layers is presented. Based on the finite element method, the influence of graded geometrical parameters on their optoelectronic characteristics is investigated. The results show that when the thickness of the sublayer is equal, the difference of the Al composition between the two sublayers of nanostructure is larger, the sub-layers are less, and the quantum efficiency is higher. The light capture ability of the photocathode can be enhanced by increasing the thickness and the array spacing of the first sublayer. Compared with the hexagonal cross-section structure, the light trapping effect and spectral response of the circular cross-section structure are better.

Absorption Measurements

The absorption cross section of CF2Cl2 has been measured as a function of presure and CO2 laser input power at 10.764 μm. The laser was operated in the continuous wave mode providing a continuous energy deposition in the sample. It is shown that the absorption cross section measured has a strong dependence on input power density in the range from 5 to 15 W/cm2 and pressure in the 3 to 50 Torr regime. It is demonstrated that most of these effects can be attributed to the temperature rise in the beam interaction volume.
