An algorithm for solving the steady-state Schrödinger equation for a complex piecewise-constant potential in the presence of theE-field is developed and implemented. The algorithm is based on the consecutive matching of solutions given by the Airy functions at the band boundaries with the matrix rank increasing by no more than two orders, which enables the characteristic solution to be obtained in the convenient form for search of the roots. The algorithm developed allows valid solutions to be obtained for the electric field magnitudes larger than the ground-state energy level, that is, when the perturbation method is not suitable.

AbstractThe ability of new chelate ligands, benzoxazol-5-yl-alanine derivatives substituted in position 2 by heteroaromatic substituent, to form complexes with selected metal ions in acetonitrile are studied by means of absorption and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Among the ligands studied, only azaaromatic derivatives form stable complexes with transition metal ions in the ground state. Their absorption bands are bathochromically shifted enabling to use those ligands as ratiometric sensors. The fluorescence of each ligand is quenched by metal ions, however, in the presence of Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions a new red shifted emission band is observed.

The extension of fluorescence measurements of samples from steady state to dynamic methods offers the possibility to extract valuable information at the micro and nano level. Imaging of fluorescent samples with nanosecond resolution often imposes challenging problems, especially when dealing with very weak optical and electrical signals. In this context, this paper discusses the detection of latent fingerprint samples with nanosecond resolution. Imaging of fingerprint samples, which are deposited on strongly fluorescing substrates, is carried out by the subsequent suppression of the unwanted background fluorescence emissions using the time-resolved optical technique. "signature" characterisation of fingerprint samples treated with fluorescent magnetic powders is also carried out.

AbstractIn this study, the planar LIF detection of the hydroxyl (OH) radicals was performed in a nozzle-to-plane electrode system having an electrode gap of 30 mm during the steady-state positive streamer corona discharge at atmospheric pressure. For monitoring the ground-state OH radicals, OH transition at 282 nm was used. The two-dimensional OH distribution in the DC corona discharge in air/H

Abstract Rotational relaxation of OH molecules in the 2II electronic ground state has been observed to occur in collisions with water molecules with gas kinetic probability. It causes an additional contribution to the already well known sources of interference when LIF is used to monitor tropospheric OH. As the laser generated OH is originally produced mostly in high rotational states, the fast relaxation phenomenon leads to a further population of OH in low rotational states. These states are used to monitor tropospheric OH by spectroscopic methods. The observed effect therefore increases the interference. A mathematical analysis is presented, revealing the effect of all relevant parameters.

The photophysical and photoprototropic behaviour of 4-aminobiphenyl (4ABP) in aqueous β-cyclodextrin (β-CDx) solution has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Fluorescence of the neutral form of 4ABP is enhanced due to the formation of a 1:1 complex with β-CDx. The formation of this complex has been confirmed by time-resolved spectroscopy. In the presence of β-CDx, no change was observed in the ground state pKa value but the excited state pKa value changed. Based on its photophysical and photoprototropic characteristics in β-CDx, the structure of the 1:1 inclusion complex is proposed.
