Attenuated total re fl ectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT IR), combined with chemometric analysis, was used to classify grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese from other grana-type cheeses (so called for ...

Electron beams in electron microscopes are efficient probes of optical near-fields, thanks to spectroscopy tools like electron energy-loss spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. Nowadays, we can acquire multi...

The aim of our study was; (i) to characterize the composition of DOM in stream water and their potential sources (groundwater, overland flow, subsurface flow and rain water) and (ii) to analyze changes in DOM concentrati...

Standard optical characterization and spectroscopy techniques rely on the measurement of specular reflection, transmission, or emission at normal incidence. Although the usefulness of these methods is without question, t...

Two simple models were developed in order to determine the chemical composition of both nanocrystals and intergranular amorphous phases in nanocrystallized Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 containing Ge using data from X-ray diffrac...

Abstract High resolution collinear laser spectroscopy has been performed on singly charged ions of $$^{50,51}$$ V at the IGISOL facility of the Accelerator Laboratory, University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Eleven ionic tra...

Upconversion photodynamic therapy (UC-PDT), which integrates upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with photosensitizers (PSs), presents a promising advancement in the field of phototherapy. However, despite the extensive s...

BackgroundOccupational health places often involve complex dust samples characterized by diverse compositions and a lack of prior supplementary information. These factors pose challengs in ascertaining crystal phase comp...

Graphene/metal oxide composites have generated interest for a variety of applications, such as energy storage, catalysts, and electronics, etc. However, one of the primary technical barriers to real applications has been...

Heavy metals have been widely applied in industry, agriculture, and other fields because of their outstanding physics and chemistry properties. However, heavy metal pollution is inevitable in the process of mass producti...

The ancient records about herbal medicine show traditional healing practices are deeply rooted in Indonesian culture. The medical use of plants decreased because of inheritance customs combined with the lack of written d...

Sensing the scattered fields of single metallic nanostructures is a crucial step towards the applications of isolated plasmonic antennas, such as for the sensing of single molecules or nanoparticles. In the past, both ne...

Abstract This manuscript presents the feasibility of designing a digital Lock-In Amplifier (LIA) for measuring experimental sys-tems through optical measurement techniques, from 32-bit micro-controller platforms, derived...

While infrared spectroscopy is a powerful technique that provides molecular information such as chemical constituents and chemical structures of analytes, it suffers from low absorption cross-section resulting in low sen...

At the beginning of the 1980s, the first reports of surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy (SEIRS) surfaced. Probably due to signal-enhancement factors of only 101 to 103, which are modest compared to those of surface-en...

The Hualfin Valley presents a long occupation period from the first agropastoralist societies (BC 200) to the Inka occupation (AD 1400). Ceramic production has played a fundamental role, being an important indicator of s...

Copper metal nanoparticles (Nps) have received increasing interest during the last years due to their potential applications in several fields of science and technology. Their optical properties depend on the characteris...

Point-of-care (POC) device development is a growing field that aims to develop low-cost, rapid, sensitive in-vitro diagnostic testing platforms that are portable, self-contained, and can be used anywhere – from modern ...

Tin oxide (SnO2), with its low resistivity properties and high transparency in the visible spectrum, makes it an attractive electron transfer layer (ETL) for use in perovskite solar cells. Here, we use two techniques, co...
