FI-chemiluminometric study of thiazides by on-line photochemical reaction
2004
The present manuscript deals with a simple and sensitive flow-injection method for the chemiluminescent determination of thiazides. The method is based on the on-line photodegradation and chemiluminescent determination of the resulting photo-fragments. The on-line photodegradation is performed in basic medium by using a photoreactor consisting of a 550 cm long x 0.8 mm ID piece of PTFE tubing helically coiled around an 8 W low-pressure mercury lamp. The determination of the photo-irradiated thiazides is performed by a chemiluminescent oxidative reaction with Ce(IV) in sulphuric acid medium. A heterogeneous group of thiazides (indapamide, metolazone, hydroflumethiazide, chlorthalidone and be…
<title>Time-resolved fluorescence study of interaction of the monoclonal anticoproporphyrin antibodies and (Pt-)coproporphyrin</title>
1995
Mechanisms of ligand binding by monoclonal anti-coproporphyrin antibodies are studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy by use of a picosecond laser system. The antibodies quench the coproporphyrin (CP) fluorescence, but the CP fluorescence spectra show a strong shift of maxima at high concentrations of antibodies (Ab) or their Fab fragment. This can be explained by a special type of Ab or Fab dimerization. Fluorescence decays of CP are measured at different concentrations of Ab and different pH values. The following deconvolution procedure based on the non-linear least squares method reveals a two- exponential character of the fluorescence decay. Data obtained by …
Thermal oxidative process in extra-virgin olive oils studied by FTIR, rheology and time-resolved luminescence
2011
Abstract With the aim to characterise the antioxidant properties of different extra-virgin olive oils and to understand in more detail the mechanisms of oil degradation, we have made an experimental study on thermal induced oxidative processes of extra-virgin olive oils by using different techniques: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, rheology and time-resolved luminescence. The oxidation process was followed at three different heating temperatures (30, 60 and 90 °C) as a function of time up to 35 days. Thermal treatment induced changes in the FTIR spectra in the wavenumbers region 3100–3600 cm −1 : in particular, the absorption profiles show an initial formation of hydroperoxi…

Recombination processes in rare-earth doped MAl2O4(M = Ca, Sr) persistent phosphors investigated by optically-detected magnetic resonance
2007
Single crystalline MAl 2 O 4 (M = Ca and Sr) persistent phosphors, which are nominally pure or additionally doped with Eu and Nd or Dy, respectively, were investigated for their recombination luminescence (RL) and microwave-induced changes in the RL at low temperatures. The analysis of the optically-detected electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, recorded after ultraviolet excitation at 4.2 K, shows that intrinsic donor and acceptor centres are involved in the recombination process. Spectral dependent RL-EPR measurements on undoped CaAl 2 O 4 (CAO) and SrAl 2 O 4 (SAO) show that we deal with only one donor but at least two different acceptors. The g value of the donor is 1.99 in CAO…
Eu2+ Stabilization in YAG Structure: Optical and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Study
2016
A set of Eu-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG) phosphors in the powder form was successfully synthesized by multiple-step solid-state reaction under the reducing Ar:5%H2 atmosphere. Their physical properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Special attention was given to well-grounded confirmation of Eu2+ occurrence in the YAG structure. X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of a major YAG phase in all samples. The influence of Eu concentration, form of doping (EuS, EuF2, or Eu2O3) and number/form of annealing steps was studied. Corresponding characteristics were measured and evaluated in a broad temper…
Oxygen influence on luminescence properties of rare-earth doped NaLaF 4
2016
Abstract Luminescence properties of erbium and europium doped NaLaF4 with different oxygen content have been studied. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation luminescence spectroscopy technique has been applied by using synchrotron radiation excitation. It was found that oxygen impurity leads to significant degradation of Er3+ or Eu3+ emission under VUV excitation. The intensive O2−–Er3+ charge transfer excitation band has been detected from oxygen abundant NaLaF4 in the 150–165 nm spectral range. This band reveals a competing absorption mechanism in oxygen containing NaLaF4. It is clearly demonstrated that one reason for the Er3+ emission degradation in oxygen abundant NaLaF4 is strong suppres…
Intrinsic luminescence and energy transfer processes in pure and doped YVO 4 crystals
2007
Luminescence properties of nominally pure and neodymium doped YVO4 single crystals have been studied by means of time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy technique. It was detected that, besides the main well-known blue excitonic emission band near 2.8 eV, an additional UV emission band at ∼3.1 eV appears in the spectra of intrinsic luminescence at low temperatures (∼80 K) for all crystals studied. Decay time of the UV band is much faster in comparison with the blue one and the UV band is quenched at temperatures above 150 K. Origin of the UV emission band is discussed. A significant rise front was observed in the relaxation kinetics of Nd3+ emission under band-to-band excitation. The time c…
Structure and luminescence of GaN layers
2001
Abstract GaN films grown on 〈1 1 1〉 Si substrate by means of low pressure MOCVD technique in a horizontal flow quartz reactor are characterized by different thin layer analysis methods. The polycrystalline hexagonal structure of the GaN layers has been checked by means of grazing incidence X-ray diffractometry and IR spectroscopy. Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra and their time kinetics are studied. The mean decay time of the 3.44 eV UV bound exciton transition is below 1 ns, whereas the 3.26 eV violet band shows a slow hyperbolical decay over about 1 μs. A third yellow band appears at 2.12 eV due to transitions via localized states.
