چکیده

The smallest structures that conventional lenses are able to optically resolve are of the order of 200 nm. We introduce a new type of lens that exploits multiple scattering of light to generate a scanning nanosized optical focus. With an experimental realization of this lens in gallium phosphide we imaged gold nanoparticles at 97 nm optical resolution. Our work is the first lens that provides a resolution better than 100 nm at visible wavelengths.

Optical effects of exposing intact human lenses to ultraviolet radiation and visible light

BACKGROUND The human lens is continuously exposed to high levels of light. Ultraviolet radiation is believed to play a causative role in the development of cataract. In vivo, however, the lens is mainly exposed to visible light and the ageing lens absorbs a great part of the short wavelength region of incoming visible light. The aim of the present study was to examine the optical effects on hum...

Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Zr,Ce-TiO2/SiO2 Nanocomposite Thin Film as Visible-light Active Photocatalyst

A novel Zr,Ce-TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposite thin film was successfully prepared with various amounts of Zr4+ and Ce4+ as codopant ions for self-cleaning applications. A thin film was coated on a tile substrate by dip-coating and porous Zr,Ce-TiO2/SiO2 was obtained after heat treatment for 2 hours at 500 °C. The SEM images an...

A visible light driven doped TiO2 nanophotocatalyst: Preparation and characterization

A useful nanophotocatalyst (La,S-TiO2) was prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (PL) and scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results showed that the La,S-TiO2, which calcined at 550 °C, contained only anatase phaseand its crystal size was 23 nm...

Highly efficient nitrobenzene photoreduction over the amino acid-modified CdS-TiO2 nanostructures under visible light

CdS-coupled TiO2 nanocrystals were prepared by the microemulsion-mediated solvothermal method at pretty low temperatures. The semiconductor nanocrystals were modified with tyrosine, phenyl alanine, glysine and glutamate aminoacids and then were characterized by BET, SEM, EDX, XRD, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and FTIR analysis methods. The specific surface area and the average pore diameter ...
