In this research Calcium fluoride nanoparticles and its different amount of cerium ion dopant (5%and 10%) were prepared. The mentioned nanoparticle were studied by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) , X-ray diffraction (XRD), absorption and photoluminescence spectra (PL) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD patterns indicate a typical cubic fluorite structure and no other...

The optical absorption of a many (continuum) polaron gas is derived in the framework of a variational approach at zero temperature and weak or intermediate electron-phonon coupling strength. We derive a compact formula for the optical conductivity of the many-polaron system taking into account many-body effects in the electron or hole system. Within the method presented here, these effects are ...

X-ray absorption spectra can be collected in multiple ways, each exhibiting a different probing depth. The total electron yield signal contains contributions from primary, Auger and secondary electrons. We present data on the total electron yield probing depth at core level energies ranging from 77 to 929 eV. By coating materials with chromium overlayers, we find that the maximum probing depth ...

influences of the wood fiber acetylation as well as the compatibilizer mapp on water absorption, thickness swelling and dimensional stability of acetylated wood/ polypropylene composites (wpcs) were the main concerns of this research. wood fibers were acetylated with acetic anhydride without using any catalyst to achieve weight percent gains (wpgs) of 4.5, 7.5 and 17.6%. the acetylated fibers w...

Nanocrystalline Zinc Oxide (ZnO) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), and Tri Ethanol Amine (TEA) via hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electr...

Energy-dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy is an increasingly powerful tool for the investigation of kinetic processes in chemical systems as an element-specific local structure and electronic-state probe. In this paper we present a study of the structural evolution of the inner-sphere electron transfer reaction between [IrCl6] 2and [Co(CN)5] . The experimental requirements necessary for t...

The field of nanoparticle research has drawn much attention in the past decade as a result of the search for new materials. Size confinement results in new electronic and optical properties, possibly suitable for many electronic and optoelectronic applications. A characteristic feature of noble metal nanoparticles is the strong color of their colloidal solutions, which is caused by the surface ...
