Luminescence properties of chlorine molecules in glassy SiO2 and optical fibre waveguides
(Estonian Academy Publishers, 2017)
Glassy SiO2 is the basic material for optical fibre waveguides and manufacturing-induced Cl impurities reduce their transparency in UV spectral range. This work reports in-depth study/spectroscopic parameters of the ...
Portable low-cost open-source wireless spectrophotometer for fast and reliable measurements
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
We demonstrate a low-cost standalone portable spectrophotometer for fast and reliable measurement execution. The data acquired can be both displayed via a dedicated smartphone application or a computer interface, allowing ...
Doped zirconia phase and luminescence dependence on the nature of charge compensation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Zirconia is a relatively new material with many promising practical applications in medical imaging, biolabeling, sensors, and other fields. In this study we have investigated lanthanide and niobium doped zirconia by ...
Colorimetric gas detection by the varying thickness of a thin film of ultrasmall PTSA-coated TiO2 nanoparticles on a Si substrate
(Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2017)
Colorimetric gas sensing is demonstrated by thin films based on ultrasmall TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on Si substrates. The NPs are bound into the film by p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and the film is made to absorb volatile ...
Contribution of molecular structure to self-assembling and biological properties of bifunctional lipid-like 4-(N-alkylpyridinium)-1,4-Dihydropyridines
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The design of nanoparticle delivery materials possessing biological activities is an attractive strategy for the development of various therapies. In this study, 11 cationic amphiphilic 4-(N-alkylpyridinium)-1,4-dihydropyridine ...
Thermostimulated luminescence of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings on 6082 aluminium surface
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
For decades, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings are actively studied and applied to protect the surface of various valve metals from chemical or mechanical damage. However, over the last couple of years intense ...
Production of Phosphorescent Coatings on 6082 Aluminum Using Sr0.95Eu0.02Dy0.03Al2O4-δ Powder and Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation
(MDPI AG, 2019)
In this study, a new approach for producing phosphorescent aluminum coatings was studied. Using the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process, a porous oxide coating was produced on the Al6082 aluminum alloy substrate. ...
Novel method of phosphorescent strontium aluminate coating preparation on aluminum
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
This study presents a novel approach to produce phosphorescent coatings on metal surfaces. Strontium aluminates are the most popular modern phosphorescent materials exhibiting long afterglow at room temperature and a broad ...
Identifying iron-bearing nanoparticle precursor for thermal transformation into the highly active hematite photo-fenton catalyst
(MDPI AG, 2020)
The hematite photo-Fenton catalysis has attracted increasing attention because it offers strong oxidation of organic pollutants under visible light at neutral pH. In the present work, aqueous synthesis of hematite photo-Fenton ...
The search for defects in undoped SrAl2O4 material
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy is a very efficient long afterglow phosphor with wide range of possible applications. The luminescence properties and the possible luminescence mechanism of this material have been studied extensively, but ...
