a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

In 1998 we made UV spectroscopic observations with HST/STIS of A0620-00 and Cen X-4, which are two X-ray novae (aka soft X-ray transients). These binary systems are similar in all respects except that the former contains a black hole and the latter contains a neutron star. A UV spectrum (1700-3100Å) is presented for the quiescent state of each system in the context of previously published UV/op...

Abstract. Interaction of cosmological gamma ray burst radiation with the dense interstellar medium of host galaxy is considered. Gas dynamical motion of interstellar medium driven by gamma ray burst is investigated in 2D approximation for different initial density distributions of host galaxy matter and different total energy of gamma ray burst. The maximum velocity of motion of interstellar me...

We study the optical–UV/X–ray spectral energy distribution of GRB 060218 during the prompt phase and during what seems to be the afterglow phase. The results are puzzling, since if the opt–UV and the X–ray emission belong to a single black–body, then its luminosity is too large, and this black–body cannot be interpreted as the signature of the shock breakout of the supernova. There are also ser...

Context. In April 2013, the nearby TeV blazar, Mkn 421, showed one of the largest flares in X-rays in the past decade. Aims. We study all multiwavelength data available during MJD 56 392 to 56 403, with special emphasis on X-ray data to understand the underlying particle energy distribution. Methods. We studied the correlations between the UV and gamma-ray bands with the X-ray band using the z-...

UV-visible absorption spectroscopy is useful for probing the electronic and structural changes of protein active sites, and thus the on-line combination of X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic analysis is increasingly being applied. Herein, a novel absorption spectrometer was developed at SPring-8 BL26B2 with a nearly on-axis geometry between the X-ray and optical axes. A small prism mirror was ...

Degradation or polyethylene glycol has been studi ed by UV irradiation. A drastic change in the morphology from spherulite to rhythmic pattern has been observed under polarized light microscope when exposed to UV light. Molecular weight of PEG. Rr value and melting point have been recorded after UV exposure. On UV exposure there has also been a change in UV. IR and powder X-ray diffraction patt...

The first stars and quasars are known sources of hard ionizing radiation in the first billion years of the Universe. We examine the joint effects of X-rays and hard ultraviolet (UV) radiation from such first-light sources on the hydrogen and helium reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at early times, and the associated heating. We study the growth and evolution of individual H II, He ...
