Fiber optic pH sensor with self-assembled polymer multilayer nanocoatings

Abstract: A fiber-optic pH sensor based on a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) with electrostatic self-assembly multilayer sensing film is presented. The pH sensitive polymeric film, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was deposited on the circumference of the TFBG with the layer-by-layer (LbL) electrostatic self-assembly technique. The PDDA/PAA film exhibits a reduction in refractive index by swelling in different pH solutions. This effect results in wavelength shifts and transmission changes in the spectrum of the TFBG. The peak amplitude of the dominant spectral fringes over a certain window of the transmission spectrum, obtained by FFT analysis, has a near-linear pH sensitivity of 117 arbitrary unit (a.u.)/pH unit and an accuracy of ±1 a.u. (in the range of pH 4.66 to pH 6.02). The thickness and surface morphology of the sensing multilayer film were characterized to investigate their effects on the sensor's performance. The dynamic response of the sensor also has been studied (10 s rise time and 18 s fall time for a sensor with six bilayers of PDDA/PAA).

Luminescence properties and energy transfer of Eu/Tb ions codoped aluminoborosilicate glasses

Abstract: Eu/Tb codoped aluminoborosilicate glasses were fabricated by high temperature melting-quenched technique and their luminescence properties were investigated by excitation and emission spectra. Under 376 nm excitation, blue, green and red emission bands were simultaneously observed at 425 nm, 485 nm, 540 nm and 611 nm, respectively. The broad blue emission band centered at 425 nm was originated from the reduced Eu 2+ ions, which were reduced from Eu 3+ ions at high temperature in an ambient atmosphere and the reduction process may be related with the optical basicity of glass matrix. A complex bright white light emission was obtained for 0.5 mol% Eu 2 O 3 , 0.5 mol% Tb 2 O 3 codoped aluminoborosilicate glass with CIE-X=0.31 and CIE-Y=0.33. The energy transfer among Eu 3+ , Eu 2+ and Tb 3+ ions was also discussed.

Nanobubble Skin Supersolidity

Abstract: Water nanobubbles manifest fascinatingly higher mechanical strength, higher thermal stability, and longer lifetime than macroscopic bubbles; thus, they provide an important impact in applications in the biomedical and chemical industries. However, a detailed understanding of the mechanism behind these mysteries of nanobubbles remains a challenge. Consistency between quantum computations and Raman spectrometric measurements confirmed our predictions that a nanobubble skin shares the same supersolidity with molecular clusters, skins of bulk water, and water droplets because of molecular undercoordination (fewer than four nearest molecular neighbors). Molecular undercoordination (coordination number Zcluster < Zsurface < Zbubble < Zbulk = 4) shortens/extends the H–O/O:H bond and stiffens/softens its corresponding stretching phonons, whose frequency shift is proportional to the square root of the cohesive energy and inversely proportional to the segmental length. The strongly polarized O:H–O bond slows the mo...
