Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy studies were performed for anodically etched porous Zn, which exhibited a PL in the blue/violet spectral range peaking at 420 nm (2.95 eV), and oxidzed porous Zn at 380$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min and 12 h. A broad absorption band was observed at 4.07 eV (305 nm), 3.49 (355 nm) for anodically etched porous Zn. In contrast, both the oxidized porous Zn and sintered ZnO exhibited an almost identical one broad absorption band at 3.85 eV (322 nm), when PLE spectra were measured at 378 nm (3.28 eV). The oxidized porous Zn and sintered ZnO, which displayed both UV and green luminescence band, showed an additional absorption band at 389 nm (3.19 eV) and 467 nm (2.66 eV). In contrast, no significant absorption band was detected for a 10-min oxidized porous Zn, which only displayed one UV luminescence void of deep-level luminescence. These absorption bands determined by PLE studies enabled a clear understanding of an emission mechanism for the UV and green luminescence from ZnO.

Simultaneous determination of concentrations for four major components in human blood serum was investigated using a Fourier-transform mid-infrared spectroscopy. Infrared spectra of human blood serum were measured in 8.404 ∼ 10.25 ${\mu}m$ range where the highest absorption peaks of glucose are located. A partial least square (PLS) algorithm was utilized to establish a calibration model for determining total protein, albumin, globulin and glucose levels which are commonly measured metabolites. The standard error of cross validation obtained from our multivariate calibration model was 0.24 g/dL for total protein, 0.15 g/dL for albumin, 0.17 g/dL for globulin, and 6.68 mg/dL for glucose, which are comparable with or meet the criteria for clinical use. The results indicate that the infrared absorption spectroscopy can be used to predict the concentrations of clinically important metabolites without going through a chemical process with a reagent.

The adsorption behavior of tris (dimethylamino)-cyclopentadienyl-zirconium (Cp-Zr) precursor using an in-situ attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) was studied. In attempt to improve the detection intensity of an adsorbed precursor, nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the Ge ATR crystal surface employing the spray method. The absorption characteristics studies were carried out over the Ge crystal temperature in the range of $30{\sim}50^{\circ}C$. Upon increasing the temperature, a reduction of absorption was observed. Based on the peak intensities of ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy, higher-$ZrO_2$ absorption efficiency occurs when the nano-particles are utilized compared to pure Ge crystal.

We construct a four-level system where a metastable state is included in an $Er^{3＋}$ Doped Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystal. Because of the action of the coherent field, the traditional light amplification with inversion can be exhibited with remarkable variation. As a result, we propose a method to achieve the gain equalization by atomic coherence. At the same time, we find that the high index of refraction accompanied by vanishing absorption can also be reached in this model. We also find that a higher index of refraction with zero absorption can be easily obtained when the coherent field is off resonance.

A new method on the evaluation of insulation oil was proposed. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) was applied to investigate the properties of the insulating oil. For the diagnostics of oil degradation, three kinds of oils have been analyzed by THz-TDS. The degraded oil showed different optical and electrical constants compared with a new one. Generally, the power absorption coefficient, the refractive index, the dielectric constant and loss $tan{\delta}$ of the oil increase as the aging of insulating oil proceed. And the characteristics of two kind of insulation oil, 1-4 and 7-4, was compared in terahertz spectral region. Difference in refractive index and complex dielectric constant has been observed between the samples. The results of this study suggest that THz-TDS is a promising new means for evaluating degradation and identification of insulating oil.

The role of ESR spectroscopy in the characterization of functional LB films is discussed. Optical absorption were performed on LB films of binary mixtures of three kinds of merocyanine dyes where DS and 6Me-DS form J-like aggregates but not DO in single component films. The observed optical absorption spectra of mixed films were markedly dependant on the combination of dyes. We found the formation of J-aggregates in a mixed merocyanine dyes containing a non J-aggregate forming dye DO, in a single component case. In structural studios, ESR is of particular important in the analysis of molecular orientation of LB films. Development of new functional LB films may provide more cases where ESR spectroscopy will clarify the nature of such films.

The latent properties and cure kinetics of an acid anhydride-cured epoxy resin have been investigated by a near-infrared (NIR) reflection spectroscopy. The assignments of the latent properties and cure behaviors were performed by the measurements of the NIR reflectance for epoxide and hydroxyl groups at different temperatures. A comprehensive analysis of the origin, location, and shifts during reaction of all major NIR absorption peaks in the spectral range from 4000 to 7100 $cm^{-1}$ / was provided. The extent of reaction was determined from NIR absorption band at the 4530 $cm^{-1}$ / depending on epoxide concentration and cure temperature.

Time resolved infrared IR absorption spectroscopy is carried out to investigate the dynamics of electric field induced reorientation of the biphenyl molecular core and alkyl tail sub-fragments of the nematic liquid crystal 5CB (4-pentyl-4-cyano-biphenyl). The planar to homeotropic transition for high pre-tilt planar aligned cells, is studied for switching times ranging from 200 ${\mu}sec$ down to 80 ${\mu}sec$, the latter a factor of 1000 times faster than any previous nematic IR study. The reorientation rates of the core and tail are found to be the same to within experimental error and scale inversely with applied field squared, as expected for the balance of field and viscous torques. Thus any molecular conformation change during switching must relax on a shorter time scale. A simple model shows that no substantial differences exist between the reorientational dynamics of the tails and cores on the time scales longer than on the order of 10 ${\mu}s$.

Novel compounds with rod and disc mesogens were synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures were confirmed by FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The optical properties of these molecules were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and photo-luminescence spectroscopy. We found that they are a novel series of blue light-emitting molecules. The absorption spectra peaks of these compounds varied from 336 nm-341 nm, while the maximum emissions centered form 410 nm-450 nm in chloroform solution. However, unexpectedly we could not found their biaxiality and mesomorphic properties by POM, conoscopy and DSC method.

Photoionization processes of TMPD in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ were studied, by measuring steady-state absorption, emission, fluorescence excitation spectra, and fluorescence lifetimes on picosecond time scale. The steady-state absorption spectra showed that there exists a cation-ion pair (Wurster's Blue) in $H_2O$ and in $D_2O$ in the electronic ground state. Temperature and excitation wavelength dependence were also studied and the results show that the photoionization reaction in water is an activated process and the fluorescence lifetime is independent of the vibrational excess energy in the uv excitation range of 283-310 nm.
