Information-statistical approach to inverse optical problem solution for 3D disperse systems with nano- and micro particles

Multiparameter analysis of simultaneous optical data for 3D disperse systems (consisted from nano- and/or microparticles of different nature) by information-statistical methods can help to estimate the share of different types of particles in mixtures. At the solution of inverse optical problem for unknown poly-component 3D DS, the comparison of measured parameters with the known ones from the set of mono-component 3D DS can help to identify the component content of the system under study. The approach was tested on the biomineral water mixtures of kaolin clay and bacterium coli bacillus with the help of the program based on the information-statistical theory. To solve the impurity optical recognition tasks, the Base of optical data for 3D DS is needed.

Mechanical Study of Some Polystyrene composites modified with adding inorganic fillers

Polystyrene-Zinc oxide microcomposites have been prepared for Mechanical study. The Zinc oxide micro particles were added to polystyrene by different concentrations that are (3, 5, and 7) by weight percent of the pure polymeric matrix. Solution casting method is used for preparing such composites. Different Mechanical properties of (PS-ZnO) microcomposites have been measured. Stress strain Curve is investigated for both pure Polystyrene and its composites with zinc oxide. The results showed that the Tensile Strength varies with the increase of ZnO in a specific way. Elongation at break of (PS-ZnO) micro composites increase with increase the content of (ZnO). An explanation of such behavior in tensile strength as well as Elongation at break has been discussed.

Measurement of microwave radiation pressure on thin metal fibers

The pressure of electromagnetic radiation in the optical range is widely used to hold microparticles in a given place and control their movement. This is possible by focusing the laser radiation into an area with the dimension of several micrometers. The intensity of radiation in this area is large and sufficient to retain micro-particles in the laser beam and manipulate them. Nowadays, intensive research is underway on the use of microwave and terahertz radiation and the possibility of applying radiation pressure in these ranges. But in the microwave range, the focal spot dimension is much larger than in the optical one. Therefore, control of the objects whose dimensions are comparable to those of the focal spot using the radiation pressure requires very high power. For the objects with small dimensions, a small amount of radiation energy falls on them, and the acting force decreases. However, it is known that thin conductive fibers interact very strongly with microwave radiation. This can be used to levitate short thin metal fibers (vibrators), hold them in predicted place and control their position in space. The paper describes the measurements of the pressure of microwave radiation with a wavelength of 8 mm on thin copper fibers. Torsional balance is used for this purpose. In the metal case on a suspension from a tungsten fiber with a diameter of 8 microns there is located the rocker arm with 50 mm length with receiving elements in the form of system of copper fibers with a diameter of 300 microns and 15 mm length. Microwave radiation was directed to one of the receiving elements using a horn. The calibration of torsion balance, the measurement process, and the evaluation of the resulting error are described. The measurements gave the value of the efficiency factor of the radiation pressure Qpr = 4.86. This agrees satisfactorily with the results of calculations Qpr = 5.39. The difference is 10%.

Study on Particle Manipulation in a Metal Internal Channel under Acoustic Levitation

In order to study the acoustic levitation and manipulation of micro-particles in the heterogeneous structures inside metal, a test system for internal levitation in three-dimensional space is designed, establishing the 3D motion model of ultrasonic levitation and manipulation of micro-particles. The relationship between levitation force, particle diameter, internal channel size, and transmission thickness is established through the motion manipulation tests of multi-configuration channel levitation micro-particles in components. The results show that the proposed method can realize the following movement of levitation micro-particles at a higher speed and the control of motion accuracy in three-dimensional space. The micro-particles can be reliably suspended and continuously moved inside the components along a predesigned motion trajectory. The results provide an effective and feasible processing scheme for direct processing through the internal spatial structure.

Influence of the Distance Between Nozzle and Substrate on Structural, Photoluminescence, and Detector Characteristics of p-NiO/n-Si Hetero-Junction Deposited by Spray Pyrolysis Method

In the present investigation, p-NiO has been deposited on n-Si (100) substrate by the spray pyrolysis method. The effect of the distance between the substrate and the nozzle on the structural, photoluminescence, and detection properties has been well inspected. XRD analysis proved the polycrystalline system with a cubic structure for NiO. The elemental analysis confirmed the existence of Ni, O, and Si materials without any impurities. The FESEM analysis showed nano and micro particles distributed on the Si layer, the micro particles have porous like structures which play a significant role as photons guider. The photoluminescence measurement depicted three main peaks at the UV and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum which are related to near band edge emission and defects within the crystal, respectively. I-V characteristics revealed good conductivity under UV illumination, and the highest current was recorded by a sample when the distance between the nozzle and the substrate is 25 cm. The responsivity elucidated a high value at UV region with 6.5 mA/W, and the current-time properties demonstrated good reproducibility, high stability and photoresponse, and rapid response and recovery times of 0.375 and 0.791 s, respectively at a lower bias voltage of 1.5 Volt under UV photons source.

Direct Observation of Axial Dynamics of Particle Manipulation With Weber Self-Accelerating Beams

Optical manipulation of micro-particles with nondiffracting and self-accelerating beams has been successfully applied in many research fields such as chemicophysics, material sciences and biomedicine. Such operation mainly focuses on the particle transport and control in the beam propagation direction. However, the conventional optical microscopy is specifically designed for obtaining the sample information located in the lateral plane, which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the detecting objective lens, making the real-time observation of particle dynamics in axial plane a challenge. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a technique which integrates a special beam optical tweezer with a direct axial plane imaging system. Here, particles are transported in aqueous solution along a parabolic trajectory by a designed nonparaxial Weber self-accelerating beam, and the particle motion dynamics both in lateral and axial plane are monitored in real-time by the axial plane imaging technique.

Dynamically tunable ultralong photonic nanojet by a curved surface truncated dielectric microcylinder

As for micro-particles (microspheres or microcylinders) that form Photonic nanojet (PNJ) in near fied,a curved truncated dielectric microcylinder structure (CSTDM) is investigated by finite element method(FEM) which can form ultralong PNJ with the longest effective length:209.49λ. We found that changing parameter h of structure can realize long dynamic range tuning of the effective length of PNJ. The effective length varies quasi-periodically with h; the law of the variation of main indicators of microcylinder are further discussed, such as the effective length,the working distance, peak electric field intensity and full width half height
