The surface chemistry of upconversion nanoparticles can effectively control the quenching effect water molecules affecting thermal dynamics luminescence.

Heavy quark energy loss in a hot QCD plasma is computed taking into account the competing effects due to suppression of zeroth order gluon radiation below the plasma frequency and the enhancement of gluon radiation due to first order medium induced Bremsstrahlung. The results suggest a surprising degree of cancellation between the two medium effects for charm quarks and provides a possible expl...

Fluorescence quenching properties of copper(II) ions have been used for designing Cu(II) sensitive fluorescent molecular probes. In this paper, we demonstrate that static quenching plays a key role in free Cu(II)-mediated fluorescence quenching of a near infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye cypate. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant was calculated to be KSV = 970,000 M in 25 mM MES buffer, pH 6.5 at...

In this paper, we study the quenching behavior of solution of a nonlinear parabolic equation with a singular boundary condition. We prove finite-time quenching for the solution. Further, we show that quenching occurs on the boundary under certain conditions. Furthermore, we show that the time derivative blows up at quenching point. Also, we get a lower solution and an upper bound for quenching ...
