Biofunctionalized silicon quantum dots were prepared through a one step strategy avoiding the use of chemical precursors. UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and HAADF-STEM prove oligonucleotide conjugation to the surface of silicon nanoparticle with an average size of 4 nm. The nanoparticle size results from the size-quenching effect during in situ conjugation. Photoemissive properties, co...

The electrode polarization effects on bioelectrical impedance measurement at low-frequency cannot be ignored. In this paper, the bioelectrical data of mice livers are measured to specify the polarization effects on the bio-impedance measurement data. We firstly introduce the measurement system and methodology. Using the depolarization method, the corrected results are obtained. Besides, the spe...

The purpose of this research is to evaluate new materials as gain media for midinfrared (MIR) solid-state lasers. MIR lasers are of significant current interest for several applications including laser remote sensing of bio-chemical agents, medical surgery, fundamental spectroscopy, and biophotonics. In this project, Cobalt (Co) doped ZnSe windows and CdTe crystals were investigated as MIR lase...

In this review we describe label-free optical spectroscopy techniques which are able to non-invasively measure the (bio)chemistry in biological systems. Raman spectroscopy uses visible or near-infrared light to measure a spectrum of vibrational bonds in seconds. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) microscopy and stimulated Raman loss (SRL) microscopy are orders of magnitude more efficient than Ra...

Ultra-broadband supercontinuum (SC) at 1-μm wavelength is regarded as diagnostics window in bio-photonics due to its large penetration depth in tissues and less Rayleigh scattering. Dispersive Fourier transform (DFT) is an important technique to realize the high-speed, ultra-fast and high-throughput spectroscopy. Thus, a stable light source with good temporal stability plays an important role i...

Abstract The purpose of this research was to create bio-based non-isocyanate polyurethane (Bio-NIPU) resins derived from the tannin Acacia mangium Willd. bark for impregnation ramie fibres ( Boehmeria nivea L.) and investigate properties impregnated fibres. Tannin extracted A. using hot water. Tannin-bio-NIPU resin created dimethyl carbonate hexamine. Based on findings, it is possible conclude ...
