The weak photon absorption and high recombination rate of electron-hole pairs in disordered zinc oxide nanowires (ZNWs) limit its application in UV photodetection. This limitation can be overcome by introducing graphene sheets to the ZNWs. Herein we report a high-performance photodetector based on one-dimensional (1D) wide band-gap semiconductor disordered ZNWs composited with reduced graphene ...

In the present work, KTP crystals have been grown by spontaneous nucleation technique in flux medium using K6P4O13 flux. 0.4-1 °C/h cooling rates were applied in the spontaneous nucleation process. The presence and amount of impurities has been determined by using XRF. The optical transmission spectra of impure KTP crystals in the UV–visible region are discussed. The transmission cut-off is cle...

We present and discuss our observations of the Narrow Line quasar PG1404+226 (zem = 0.098) with ASCA and HST, and a re-analysis of our earlier observations with ROSAT. The soft X-ray spectrum is very steep and displays an absorption feature (edge or line at ∼ 1.1 keV). We have applied a variety of models to the ASCA and ROSAT spectra without finding a completely satisfactory fit, and the identi...

Abstract: (Y2O3) and ethyl acetate as a mineralizer by hydrothermal method at a low temperature (T=.230°C, andP=100bars).The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform InfraredSpectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-V Spectroscopy and Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD) of the sewage water, respectively. The results show that hydrothermal me...

Poly (ether) urethane close/open cell (PEUCC/PEUOC) has been prepared by using in situ polymerization approach. The third-order optical nonlinearities of dissolved samples in DMF were characterized by Z-scan technique at the measurement wavelength of 532 nm. The synthesized samples were also examined by optical microscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The nonlinear refractive (NLR) indice...

The UV-visible absorption spectrum of gaseous IONO 2 has been measured over the wavelength range 245–415 nm using the technique of laser photolysis with time-resolved UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. IONO 2 was produced in situ in the gas phase by laser flash photolysis of NO 2 /CF 3 I/N 2 mixtures. Post-flash spectra were deconvolved 5 to remove contributions to the observed absorption from...

A gamma ray burst with strong optical-UV emission occuring in a molecular cloud will photodissociate H2, photoionize H2, H, and He, and destroy dust grains. We model these processes, including time-dependent radiative transfer in both continuum radiation and the resonance lines of H2. The UV will pump H2 into vibrationally-excited levels. We calculate the absorption spectrum imprinted on radiat...
