Light absorption by brown carbon over the South-East Atlantic Ocean

Athanasios Nenes, Lu Zhang

Biomass burning emissions often contain brown carbon (BrC), which represents a large family of light-absorbing organics that are chemically complex, thus making it difficult to estimate their absorption of incoming solar radiation, resulting in large uncer ...

Optical properties and photochemical production of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen after ozonation of dissolved organic matter

Urs von Gunten, Frank Jonathan Leresche

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

Precise and accurate image-based measurements of optical material properties

Marjan Shahpaski

The appearance of objects is governed by how they reflect, transmit and absorb the light they receive. That, in turn, depends on the material's internal structure, surface structure, and viewing and illumination directions. Changes in those characteristics ...

Magnetic and optical properties in degenerated transition metal and Ga co-substituted ZnO nanocrystals

Reinis Ignatans

In order to study the influence of itinerant electrons on magnetic properties of transition metal substituted ZnO nanocrystals, nanopowders containing different amounts of Ga and fixed amounts of Fe, Ni and Mn ions were synthesized. The ions of different t ...

Predicting the thermal performance of thermochromic flat plate solar collectors

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Anna Krammer

A thermochromic vanadium dioxide (VO2) based absorber coating is proposed. The optical response of the multilayered absorber is first simulated, then, the spectral reflectance of the deposited absorber is measured. The determined solar absorptance and ther ...

Nonequilibrium exciton physics in hybrid lead-halide perovskites and anatase titanium dioxide

Tania Palmieri

The strength of the electron-hole interaction in bulk semiconductors is not only determined by the dielectric environment, but also depends on the presence of other quasiparticles - free charge carriers or phonons - that populate the system. In the former ...

Indoor Light Enhanced Photocatalytic Ultra-Thin Films on Flexible Non-Heat Resistant Substrates Reducing Bacterial Infection Risks

Sami Rtimi

Photocatalytic antibacterial sol-gel coated substrates have been reported to kill bacteria under light or in the dark. These coatings showed non-uniform distribution, poor adhesion to the substrate and short effective lifetime as antibacterial surfaces. Th ...

Control of pulsed light propagation through multimode optical fibers

Edgar Emilio Morales Delgado

Visualization of organs and cells in the interior of living beings is a challenging task due to the light absorption and multiple light scattering occurring in biological tissue that prevents the di-rect transmission of images. A standard visualization app ...

Active Nanorheology with Plasmonics

Peer Fischer, Tian Qiu, Hyeonho Jeong

Nanoplasmonic systems are valued for their strong optical response and their small size. Most plasmonic sensors and systems to date have been rigid and passive. However, rendering these structures dynamic opens new possibilities for applications. Here we d ...
