In the geochemical field, the chemical speciation of hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) has been widely investigated by performing measurements to determine its luminescence properties, namely the excitation, emission, and lifetime. Of these properties, the excitation has been relatively overlooked in most time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) studies. In this study, TRLFS and continuous-wave excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy are adopted to characterize the excitation properties of U(VI) surface species that interact with amorphous silica. The luminescence spectra of U(VI) measured from a silica suspension and silica sediment showed very similar spectral shapes with similar lifetime values. In contrast, the excitation spectra of U(VI) measured from these samples were significantly different. The results show that distinctive excitation maxima appeared at approximately 220 and 280 nm for the silica suspension and silica sediment, respectively.

Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) have illustrated impressive results in terms of light emission efficiency of the Ne-Xe mixture compared with the He-Xe mixture. However, He-Xe has shown to achieve superior color purity. This paper presents the optimization of excitation efficiency and color purity for He-Ne-Xe ternary gas mixtures. Furthermore, we investigate the effect that a protective dielectric layer has on UV photon efficiency in a matrix known as electrode type PDP.

An oxyfluoride glass ceramic containing Eu²⁺-doped nepheline and LaF₃ crystals was modified, with BaF₂ replacing LaF₃ up to 20 mole percent, and its luminescence change was monitored. With increasing BaF₂ content, the greenish yellow emission centered at 540 nm under 400-nm excitation decreased, and a new afterglow emission from the modified ceramic was observed after removal of the excitation light source. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (TEM-EDS) were used to investigate the changes in the crystalline phases within the glass matrix. Time dependent emission intensity was monitored to observe the afterglow, and the possible mechanism for the afterglow due to BaF₂ addition was considered.

In this work, we investigated the spectroscopic properties of $LiY_xSr_yZrO_{3+{\alpha}:Eu^{3+}$, a red emitting nanophosphor based on $SrZrO_3$ perovskite. The synthesis process was an auto-combustion process. X-ray diffractograms show the orthorhombic structure of $SrZrO_3$. Photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra display a split charge transfer band revealing the presence of two possible sites for the $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The emission spectra at 231 nm excitation illustrate the dominance of the $^5D_0-^7F_1$ transition, which is an indication that the smaller sized $Eu^{3+}$ ions are mostly situated at the more ordered (symmetric) $Sr^{2+}$ sites. The emission spectra at 292 nm & 397 nm excitations show the dominance of $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition which suggests some of the $Eu^{3+}$ ions are also situated at the distorted $Zr^{4+}$ sites. Both the intensity parameters, asymmetry ratio and the decay lifetimes of the nanophosphors show dependence on $Y^{3+}$ concentration, signifying a modification in the host structure. Maximum quantum efficiency value of ${\approx}46%$ was obtained for the nanophosphors which indicate the need for improvement for practical applications. CIE coordinates show the suitability of this phosphor for both red emission in LED and as a complementary colour for white LED applications.

[ $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Dy^{3+}$ ] phosphor was synthesized using the impregnation method, and its photoluminescence and long-afterglow properties were investigated, A mixture of $Sr(NO_3)_2,\;Al(NO_3)_2\;9H_2O,\;EuCl_3\;6H_2O,\;DyCl_3\;6H_2O,\;NdCl_3\;6H_2O$ salts were dissolved in distilled water and impregnating into the polymer precursor. After drying, the impregnated mixture was heat treated at $900-1400^{\circ}C$ for 2h in a $N_2-H_2$ reduction atmosphere. The microstructure and crystal structure of the $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Dy^{3+}$ powders were examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra showed an excitation band along over wide wavelength of 250-450nm, and a broaden emission with a maxima peak at 360nm. In addition, the spectra also showed a good long after glow that decayed over a 1000sec period after 10 min excitation illumination.

This study aimed to maximize the potential of fluorescence 3D excitation-emission matrix (EEM) for predicting the trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) of DOM with various sources. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a useful tool for characterizing dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, differential spectroscopy was applied to EEM for the prediction of THMFP, in which the difference between the EEM before and after chlorination was taken into account to obtain the differential EEM (DEEM). For characterization of the original EEM or the DEEM, the maximum intensities of several different fluorescence regions in EEM, fluorescence EEM regional integration (FRI), and humification index (HIX) were calculated and used for the surrogates for THMFP prediction. After chlorination, the fluorescence intensity decreased by 77% to 93%. In leaf-derived and effluent DOM, there was a significant decrease in the protein-like peak, while a more pronounced decrease was observed in the humic-like peak of river DOM. In general, leaf-derived and effluent DOM exhibited a relatively lower THMFP than the river DOM. Our results were consistent with the high correlations between humic-like fluorescence and THMFP previously reported. In this study, HIX (r= 0.815, p<0.001), FRI region V (r=0.727, p<0.001), humic-like peak (r= 0.827, p<0.001) from DEEM presented very high correlations with THMF P. When the humic-like peak intensity was converted to a logarithmic scale, a higher correlation was obtained (r= 0.928, p<0.001). This finding suggests that the humic-like peak in DEEM can serve as a universal predictor for THM formation of DOM with various origins.

본 연구는 영산강 수계의 일반적인 수질 특성(pH, DO, 전기전도도, BOD, COD, TN, TP, Chl-$a$, DOC, $UV_{254}$, SUVA)과 3D fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (FEEM) 분석을 통한 자연유기물질(NOM)의 특성을 조사하였다. FEEM은 여기 파장과 방출 파장에서의 형광세기를 이용하여 단백질계 (protein-like), 펄빅계 (fulvic-like) 및 휴믹계(humic-like) 물질을 분류하는데 사용된다. 일반수질 항목(BOD, COD, TN, 전기전도도 및 DOC)는 영산강 수계의 중류에 위치한 광주하수처리장(GJS), 광주천(GJC), 광주2 (GJ2) 등 광주광역시 지역에서 상류 및 하류 지역보다 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 대부분의 지점에서 SUVA값은 3 L $mg^{-1}\;m^{-1}$보다 낮게 나타나 친수성 경향을 보이나, 영산강 상류지역인 담양(DY)에서는 겨울과 가을에 3 L $mg^{-1}\;m^{-1}$ 이상으로 소수성 경향을 보이고 있다. FEEM 조사결과, 대부분의 지점은 펄빅계와 휴믹계 물질이 검출되었으며, 다만 겨울에 광주지역(GJS, GJC, GJ2), 여름에 GJC 지점에서는 단백질계 물질이 검출되었다. 영산강 상류부터 하류지역까지 대부분의 지점에서 형광세기는 일반 수질항목(BOD, COD, TN, DOC) 농도와 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으며, 광주시 지역(GJS, GJC, GJ2)에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이 결과는 대부분의 지점에서 형광지표(Flourescence index, FI)의 경향과도 일치하며, 광주시에서 FI가 높게 나타난 것은 규모가 큰 광주시 하수처리장에서 방류되는 자연유기물질(EfOM)로 인한 미생물 기원 물질이 많기 때문으로 보여진다.

Vertically coupled low density InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) buried in GaAs matrix were grown with migration enhanced molecular beam epitaxy method as a candidate for quantum information processing devices. We performed excitation power-dependent photoluminescence measurements at cryogenic temperature to analyze the effects of vertical coupling according to the variation in thickness of spacer layer. The more intense coupling effects were observed with the thinner spacer layer, which modified emission properties of QDs significantly. The low surface density of QDs was observed by atomic force microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy verified the successful vertical coupling between low density QDs.

유사조절지는 하천 하류로 이동하는 모래 등을 조절하기 위해 설치된 인공 횡단구조물로, 하천의 유황을 변화시켜 수체 내 용존유기물질 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 내성천 상류의 영주댐 유사조절지를 대상으로 3차원 형광 EEM (Excitation-Emission Matrix) 및 PARAFAC 분석(Parallel Factor Analysis) 기법을 통해 수중 용존유기물의 주요 성분을 분석한 결과, 4개의 휴믹 유사계열 성분(C1-C3, C5)과 3개의 단백질-트립토판 유사계열 성분(C2, C6-C7)이 검출되었으며 이 중 내·외부로부터 기원된 휴믹계물질(C1-C3)이 주를 이루는 것으로 나타났다. 유기물 성분의 총량과 성분별 조성비는 유광층 내 광량에 따른 수심별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 영주댐 유사조절지에서는 유입된 외부 유기물이 지속적으로 분해되어 내부 유기물로 전환되며 이로 인해 유기물 지수는 조사기간 중 내부 기원 유기물의 우점을 나타냈다. 수체 내 내부 기원 유기물의 증가는 식물플랑크톤 현존량, 특히 남조류의 상대풍부도 및 박테리아와 윤충류 현존량의 증가와 연동되는 경향을 보여 수체 내 부영양화로 인한 녹조 발생은 미생물 먹이망 활성화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 수중 유기물 특성에 대한 연구는 물리·화학적 측면에서의 수질 관리뿐만 아니라 생물학적 환경 요인과의 관계 분석을 통해 동·식물플랑크톤을 포함한 미생물 먹이망을 통한 물질 순환 이해에도 중요한 것으로 사료된다.

해수담수화 시설에서 전처리와 역삼투막(reverse osmosis, RO) 공정의 유기물 제거특성을 살펴보고, 유기물의 특성변화가 막오염 지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구에서 비교된 전처리 공정은 다중여재여과(dual media filter, DMF), 가압형 정밀여과(MF), 침지형정밀여과(SMF) 이다. 유기물의 특성변화를 알아보기 위해 원수와 공정별 처리수의 탁도, $UVA_{254}$, DOC, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) 등을 분석하였다. 이온성 물질과 무기물 항목은 전처리 공정의 종류에 관계없이 처리되지 않았고 RO공정을 거치면서 99% 이상 제거되었다. 유기물에 의한 막오염에 큰 영향을 미치는 소수성 유기물은 전처리를 통해 상대적으로 제거가 용이하였다. 전처리 공정의 유기물 제거율은 막여과 공정(MF, SMF)이 기존 DMF 공정에 비해 높았다. 처리수내 유기물의 농도가 감소할수록 막오염지수 중 하나인 silt density index (SDI) 값도 감소하였다. MF로 전처리한 경우 SDI값이 가장 낮게 나타났는데, 처리수 내의 $0.1-0.4{\mu}m$ TEP 농도가 MF와 SMF 막오염지수의 차이와 상관관계를 보였다.
