ABSTRACTA novel zinc precursor adduct tetramethylmethylene diamine: dimethylzinc (TMMD:DMZn) has been used to grow ZnSe-ZnS strained layer superlattices by low pressure MOVPE at 300'C. The use of this new precursor leads to improved material purity and lower homogeneous gas phase premature reaction than in the case of dimethylzinc. Optical characterization has been made between liquid helium and room temperature. The 2K photoluminescence lines range between 2.85 eV and 3.15 eV. The 2K photoluminescence is characterized by a linewidth at half maximum ranging from 13-45 meV. Additional reflectivity and photoreflectance experiments have been carried out to measure light-hole excitons. A variational calculation of the Rydberg energies has been performed using a sophisticated trial function. The experimental data is in agreement with the theoretical value when a small conduction band offset is used.

We report the growth and characterization of quaternary AlGaInN. A combination of photoluminescence (PL), high-resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) characterizations enables us to explore the contours of constant- PL peak energy and lattice parameter as functions of the quaternary compositions. The observation of room temperature PL emission at 351nm (with 20% Al and 5% In) renders initial evidence that the quaternary could be used to provide confinement for GaInN (and possibly GaN). AlGaInN/GaInN MQW heterostructures have been grown; both XRD and PL measurements suggest the possibility of incorporating this quaternary into optoelectronic devices.

The Nafion membranes are widely used in electrochemical applications such as fuel cells, chlor-alkali cells, and actuators–sensors. In this work, the thermal-optical characterization of Nafion in acid form was performed by photoacoustic spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. In the experimental procedure three distinct hydration levels were considered: (1) pristine membrane (λ ≅ H2O/–SO3H ≅ 5.6); (2) swelling process (λ ≅ 17.4); and (3) drying at controlled room temperature after swelling process (λ ≅ 6.5). The discovered behaviors showed significant irreversible structural changes induced by water retention in the membrane. These structural changes depend on the water population present in the clusters and also affect the directional thermal diffusivity of the membrane irreversibly.

Abstract Here, we report functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for the optical detection of arsenic at room temperature. GQDs with the fluorescence of three fundamental colors (red, green, and blue) were synthesized and functionally capped with L-cysteine (L-cys) to impart selectively towards As (III) by exploiting the affinity of L-cys towards arsenite. The optical characterization of GQDs was carried out using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectrometry and the structural characterizations were performed using transmission electron microscopy. The fluorescence results showed instantaneous quenching in intensity when the GQDs came in contact with As (III) for all test concentrations over a range from 0.025 ppb to 25 ppb, which covers the permissible limit of arsenic in drinking water. The experimental results suggested excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards As (III).

Wurtzite ZnO nanomaterials including nanoparticles, nanocolumns and nanorods were successfully synthesized by a solution route. Concentrations of modifying reagent and differences of solvent employed in the synthetic process can effectively adjust the morphologies of the as-grown products. Photoluminescence measurements of the ZnO nanocolumns and nanorods have been carried out at room temperature. A sharp Ultraviolet emission at 386 nm and a weak visible emission centered at 515 nm were observed in the PL spectrum of the nanocolumns, while a UV emission of the nanorods was observed at 377 nm.
