The four-layer structure angle-dependent pigments with compositions of Mica/TiO2 /Al2O3/Fe2O3, Mica/TiO2/Al2O3/Cr2O3 and Mica/TiO2/Al2O3/Co2O3 were firstly prepared by the wet-chemical coating method, respectively. The as-prepared pigments were performed by precipitating different metal ions, such as Cr3+, Fe3+, Co2+and Al3+, on the pretreated substrates, mica titanium. The optical effects of four-layer structure pigments were investigated in detail by using the five angles’ spectrophotometer. The angle-dependent spectral reflectance and color changes can be quantitatively measured, and the results show that the angle-dependent effects for the as-prepared pigment were improved by the increasing coated Al2O3 layers.

This research studied the effect of adding synthetic dye DN-F05 (red dye) to electrical and optical properties. Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) sandwich components are consist of FTO/TiO<sub>2</sub>-Dye-elektrolit-Platina/FTO. In this study, the working electrodes were made by Titanium dioxide (TiO2) which was deposited on FTO glass and then annealed at 450<sup>o</sup>C for 30 minutes. The dye concentration DN-F05 was made with a mass of 0.001 gr, then will be stirred for 2 hours into 5 ml of ethanol at a temperature of 40<sup>o</sup>C. In this study the spin coating method is used with a rotational speed of 1000 rpm for 20 seconds. Characterization of optical properties was carried out using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer to determine the absorbance curve of dye and to get Gap energy. The peak absorbance value was obtained at wavelengths between 400-700 nm. This proved that the addition of DN-F05 dye concentration has a major influence on the optical properties.

A study has been conducted on the characterization of optical properties of thin films from lidah mertua (Sansevieria trifasciata) with dip coating method. The dip coating method was applied with different temperature and different time immersion treatments. The measuring variables in the manufacture of this thin film were tested based on the optical properties of their absorbance value of the extract and the thicknessof thin film. The absorbance spectral of extraction pigments were measured using UV-Vis in the wavelength range 350 nm to 700 nm. The results of the measurements showed that the extract of the S. trifasciata has high absorbance. Beside that, the minimum coating thickness is produced by a concentration of 12.5% with a 5 minute immersion time of 520 nm.

Boron-containing hydroxyapatite (BHAp) particles were synthesized by the wet chemical processing method and subsequent thermal treatment at the temperature ranging from 700-1200°C, and examined the effect of boron introduction on the microstructure of BHAp. The local structure around boron and phosphorus in the BHAp was analyzed by solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The heat-treatment above 700°C induced the thermal decomposition of HAp to β-TCP and then the chemical reaction between HAp and B(OH)3 was induced above 900°C, resulting in the formation of boron-substituted HAp particles accompanied by the formation of β-TCP and its transformation to α-TCP above 1200°C.

Stabilization of the hazardous materials by the Fe3O4-coating method was studied. In the ferrite-formation reaction in the aqueous solution, the adsorption of the metal ions and the oxidation of the adsorbed Fe(II) ions are repeated on the surface of the ferrite particles. This reaction was adopted to the coating of the hazardous materials with the Fe3O4(or ferrite). By repeating the two steps of l)the addition of the Fe(II) aqueous solution into the suspension of the hazardous materials, and 2)the oxidation by passing air through the reaction suspension, with the Fe3O4 layer, we could coat the surfaces of the hazardous materials, such as the heavy metal sludge from the neutralization-precipitation process, the CaF2 precipitates in the treatment of the waste waters containing fluoride ion along with hazardous metal ions, and the soils containing Cd(II) ion. These Fe3O4-coated hazardous materials are very stable and no heavy metal ions are leached under the normal environmental conditions. The ferrite sludges formed in the “Ferrite Process” were highly stabilized by the present method, and by the heat-treatment.

AbstractA study of apatite crystals from the Asio mine, Japan, showed sectoral texture related to the growth of the crystal, and with optically biaxial properties within the sectors. Wet chemical analysis gave a composition Ca5(PO4)3(F0.64,OH0.38,Cl0.01)1.03 for the specimen.Additional diffraction spots were not observed in precession and oscillation X-ray photographs and electron diffraction photographs. Since the internal textures correlate with the surface growth features, it is suggested that the internal textures and the unusual optical properties were produced during nonequilibrium crystal growth. The fluorine/hydroxyl sites in hexagonal apatite are symmetrically equivalent in the solid crystal but, at a growth surface, this equivalence may be lost, resulting in a reduction of crystal symmetry. Heating of the apatite to about 850°C results in the almost complete disappearance of the optical anomalies due to disordering, which may be related to the loss of hydroxyl from the crystal.

Clouds in the tropics have an important role in the energy budget, atmospheric circulation, humidity, and composition of the tropical-to-global upper-troposphere–lower-stratosphere. Due to its non-sun-synchronous orbit, the Cloud–Aerosol Transport System (CATS) onboard the International Space Station (ISS) provided novel information on clouds from space in terms of overpass time in the period of 2015–2017. In this paper, we provide a seasonally resolved comparison of CATS characterization of high clouds (between 13 and 18 km altitude) in the tropics with well-established CALIPSO (Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) data, both in terms of clouds’ occurrence and cloud optical properties (optical depth). Despite the fact that cloud statistics for CATS and CALIOP are generated using intrinsically different local overpass times, the characterization of high clouds occurrence and optical properties in the tropics with the two instruments is very similar. Observations from CATS underestimate clouds occurrence (up to 80%, at 18 km) and overestimate the occurrence of very thick clouds (up to 100% for optically very thick clouds, at 18 km) at higher altitudes. Thus, the description of stratospheric overshoots with CATS and CALIOP might be different. While this study hints at the consistency of CATS and CALIOP clouds characterizaton, the small differences highlighted in this work should be taken into account when using CATS for estimating cloud properties and their variability in the tropics.

AbstractThe need for progress in satellite remote sensing of terrestrial ecosystems is intensifying under climate change. Further progress in Earth observations of photosynthetic activity and primary production from local to global scales is fundamental to the analysis of the current status and changes in the photosynthetic productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. In this paper, we review plant ecophysiological processes affecting optical properties of the forest canopy which can be measured with optical remote sensing by Earth-observation satellites. Spectral reflectance measured by optical remote sensing is utilized to estimate the temporal and spatial variations in the canopy structure and primary productivity. Optical information reflects the physical characteristics of the targeted vegetation; to use this information efficiently, mechanistic understanding of the basic consequences of plant ecophysiological and optical properties is essential over broad scales, from single leaf to canopy and landscape. In theory, canopy spectral reflectance is regulated by leaf optical properties (reflectance and transmittance spectra) and canopy structure (geometrical distributions of leaf area and angle). In a deciduous broadleaf forest, our measurements and modeling analysis of leaf-level characteristics showed that seasonal changes in chlorophyll content and mesophyll structure of deciduous tree species lead to a seasonal change in leaf optical properties. The canopy reflectance spectrum of the deciduous forest also changes with season. In particular, canopy reflectance in the green region showed a unique pattern in the early growing season: green reflectance increased rapidly after leaf emergence and decreased rapidly after canopy closure. Our model simulation showed that the seasonal change in the leaf optical properties and leaf area index caused this pattern. Based on this understanding we discuss how we can gain ecophysiological information from satellite images at the landscape level. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of ecophysiological remote sensing by satellites.
