High UV-light sensitivity, fast response, and low power consumption are the most important features of nanowire-based devices for new applications in photodetectors, optical switches, and image sensors. Single AlN nanowire deep ultraviolet (UV) photodetector has been fabricated utilizing very high-quality AlN nanowires through a very practical dielectrophoretic assembly scheme. The low-voltage (≤ 3 V) operating UV photodetector has selectively shown a high photocurrent response to the 254 nm UV light. Furthermore, the photocurrent transients have been modelled to determine the rise and decay time constants as 7.7 s and 11.5 s, respectively. In consequence, combination of deep UV light selectivity and low voltage operation make AlN nanowires great candidates for the development of compact deep UV photodetectors.

Ternary oxide Zn2GeO4 with a wide bandgap of 4.84 eV, as a candidate for fourth generation semiconductors, has attracted lots of attention for deep UV photodetector applications, as it is blind to the UV-A/B band and only responds to the UV-C band.

Deep-UV light detection has important application in surveillance and homeland security regions. CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) materials have outstanding optical absorption and electronic transport properties suitable for obtaining excellent deep-UV photoresponse. In this work, we have grown high-quality CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) bulk crystals and used them to fabricate photodetectors. We found that they all have high-sensitive and fast-speed response to 255 nm deep-UV light. Their responsivities are 10–10 3 times higher than MgZnO and Ga 2 O 3 detectors, and their response speeds are 10 3 times faster than Ga 2 O 3 and ZnO detectors. These results indicate a new promising route for deep-UV detection.

A new combination of silica fibres, highly transparent in the ultraviolet (UV) and showing long term stability, combined with a teflon-coated liquid-core waveguide (LCW) is presented for remote sensing in the deep UV, for monitoring one of the major pollutants, nitrates, in water, but with potentially wider applicability. The arrangement exhibits low spectral loss in the range between wavelengths of 200 nm and 400 nm and can be used for analytical investigations to determine small concentrations of such impurities in water. The operation of the optical system to achieve guidance of UV light below a wavelength of 250 nm for fibre optic sensors is discussed. With an optical pathlength of 203 mm, nitrate concentrations as low as 22 μg/l could be detected.

A new generation of high performance field emission scanning electron microscopes (FSEM) is now commercially available (JEOL 890, Hitachi S 900, ISI OS 130-F) characterized by an "in lens" position of the specimen where probe diameters are reduced and signal collection improved. Additionally, low voltage operation is extended to 1 kV. Compared to the first generation of FSEM (JE0L JSM 30, Hitachi S 800), which utilized a specimen position below the final lens, specimen size had to be reduced but useful magnification could be impressively increased in both low (1-4 kV) and high (5-40 kV) voltage operation, i.e. from 50,000 to 200,000 and 250,000 to 1,000,000 x respectively.At high accelerating voltage and magnification, contrasts on biological specimens are well characterized1 and are produced by the entering probe electrons in the outmost surface layer within -vl nm depth. Backscattered electrons produce only a background signal. Under these conditions (FIG. 1) image quality is similar to conventional TEM (FIG. 2) and only limited at magnifications >1,000,000 x by probe size (0.5 nm) or non-localization effects (%0.5 nm).

With the introduction of field-emission sources and “immersion-type” objective lenses, the resolution obtainable with modern scanning electron microscopes is approaching that obtainable in STEM and TEM-but only with specific types of specimens. Bulk specimens still suffer from the restrictions imposed by internal scattering and the need to be conducting. Advances in coating techniques have largely overcome these problems but for a sizeable body of specimens, the restrictions imposed by coating are unacceptable.For such specimens, low voltage operation, with its low beam penetration and freedom from charging artifacts, is the method of choice.Unfortunately the technical dificulties in producing an electron beam sufficiently small and of sufficient intensity are considerably greater at low beam energies — so much so that a radical reevaluation of convential design concepts is needed.The probe diameter is usually given by
