This contribution summarizes the use of plasmon surface polaritons and guided optical waves for the characterization of interfaces and thin organic films. After a short introduction to the theoretical background of evanescent wave optics, examples are given that show how this interfacial "light" can be employed to monitor thin coatings at a solid/air or solid/liquid interface. Examples are give...

The technique of wavelength scanning digital holographic microscopy (WSDHM) is improved by use of a digital spectral shaping method which is used to suppress the sidelobes of the amplitude modulation function in WSDHM for non-Gaussian-shaped source spectra. Spurious structures caused by sidelobes can be eliminated in tomographic imaging and the performance of the tomographic system greatly impr...

in this study ptfeco ternary alloys nanoparticles of three dimentional (3d) rhombus shapes dispersed on graphene nanosheets (ptfeco/gr) were successfully prepared and studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (orr) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells. a combination of analytical techniques including powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectra, inductively coupled plasma-...
