The fluorescence rise kinetics in saturating light display two well separated com ponents with largely different properties. The rapid rise from F„ to a first intermediate level, I ,, is photochemically controlled, while the following phases leading to a secondary intermediate level, I2, and to a peak level, P , are limited by thermal reactions. Treatm ents which primarily affect components at ...

Contributions of intermolecular electron energy transfers in the electronic quenching are calculated for molecular collisions N2(A6 u , W 1u)+N2(X6 g , v=0), N2(A6 u )+N2(X 16+ g , v≥0), N2(A 36+ u )+O2(X 36− g , v=0– 2), O2(a1g , b16+ g )+O2(X 36− g , v=0–2). The calculation has allowed one to estimate the product branching ratios. It is shown that there is a dependence of the calculated rate ...

Fluorescence quenching spectrometry was applied to study the interactions between gold colloidal nanoparticles and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Experimental results show that the gold nanoparticles can quench the fluorescence emission of adsorbed AFP effectively. Furthermore, the intensity of fluorescence emission peak decreases monotonously with the increasing gold nanoparticles content. A mechani...

In this paper, highly (up to 5.25 mol% Er2O3) Er-doped phosphate bulk glasses were synthesized by conventional melt-quenching method and their physical, thermal and spectroscopic properties are reported. The influence of Er doping concentration on emission spectra and lifetimes was investigated in order to study the concentration quenching effect on luminescence performance and therefore to eva...

The effect of three aromatic amines namely aniline (AN), dimethyl aniline (DMAN) and diethyl aniline (DEAN) on emission properties of a coumarin derivative 6-methyl-3azidoacetyl coumarin (6M3AAC) in acetonitrile was studied by means of steady state fluorescence spectroscopy. The quenching of fluorescence intensity was observed in the presence of amines. The quenching process was characterized b...
