Effect of annealing temperature on photophysical characteristics of pure and SrWO4:Eu3+ nanoparticles were investigated and the changes observed correlated with density function theory (DFT) and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS).

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has been applied to study if the microstructure changes in Co80Zr10V10 and Co65Zr10V25 metallic glasses after heat treatment. Samples in as-quenched state were isothermally annealed at chosen temperatures in the temperature range 100°C - 580°C for 1 hour. In spite of differences of chemical composition and magnetic properties the obtained dependencies of positron lifetime on annealing temperature do not differ significantly for lower temperatures. The higher increase of positron lifetime for Co65Zr10V25 than that for Co80Zr10V10 indicates differences in crystallization in the two metallic glasses studied.

The photo physical properties of two mononuclear pentacoordinated copper(II) complexes formulated as [Cu(L)(Cl)(H2O)] (1) and [Cu(L)(Br)(H2O)] (2)HL = (1-[(3-methyl-pyridine-2-ylimino)-methyl]-naphthalen-2-ol) were synthesized and characterized by elemental, physicochemical, and spectroscopic methods. The density function theory calculations are used to investigate the electronic structures and the electronic properties of ligand and complex. The interactions of copper(II) complexes towards calf thymus DNA were examined with the help of absorption, viscosity, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques at pH 7.40. All spectroscopy's result indicates that complexes show good binding activity to calf thymus DNA through groove binding. The optical absorption and fluorescence emission properties of microwires were characterized by fluorescence microscope. From a spectroscopic viewpoint, all compounds strongly emit green light in the solid state. The microscopy investigation suggested that microwires exhibited optical waveguide behaviour which are applicable as fluorescent nanomaterials and can be used as building blocks for miniaturized photonic devices. Antibacterial study reveals that complexes are better antimicrobial agents than free Schiff base due to bacterial cell penetration by chelation. Moreover, the antioxidant study of the ligand and complexes is evaluated by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical assays, which demonstrate that the complexes are of higher antioxidant activity than free ligand.
