In this study we examined the photo-degradation efficiency of $CoS_2-G-TiO_2$ nanocomposites under visible light irritation using Reactive Black B (RBB) as standard dye, $CoS_2-G-TiO_2$ nanocomposites synthesized by facial microwave assist technique, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopic analysis. Our results show the efficiency of the $CoS_2-G-TiO_2$ ternary nanocomposite is better than $CoS_2-G$ and $TiO_2-G$ nanocomposite. The degradation efficiency of $CoS_2-G-TiO_2$ nanocomposite was found approximately 89% of Reactive Black B (RBB) degraded after 180 min. Our results will open new way for the development of a new ternary nanocomposite photocatalytic application.

We review our studies on the growth of microcrystalline silicon films by the standard PECVD technique. In situ spectroscopic ellipsometry studies allow the optimization of the complex film structure with respect to competing aspects of the growth process. Fine tuning the hydrogen flux, the ion energy, and the nature of the species contributing to deposition produces unique films with a fully crystallized interface with silicon nitride. These materials have been successfully incorporated in bottom gate TFTs which present mobility values in the range of 1 to 3 $cm^2/V.s$, and stable characteristics when submitted to a bias stress. The stability of these TFTs makes them suitable for driver applications in AMLCDs as well as pixel elements in OLED displays.

Although the currently available surface spectroscopic techniques provide powerful means of studying atoms and simple molecules on surfaces, the identification of complex molecules and functional groups is a major concern in surface analysis. This article describes a recently developed method of surface molecular analysis based on reactive ion scattering (RIS) of low energy (< 100 eV) $Cs^+$ beams. The RIS method can detect surface molecules via a mechanism in which a $Cs^+$ projectile picks up an adsorbate from the surface during the scattering process. The basic principles of the method are reviewed and its applications are discussed by showing several examples from studies of molecules and their reactions on surfaces.

We describe a simple method for obtaining a narrow dip with subnatural linewidth in Doppler-free laser spectroscopy. The method is based on detecting the absolute magnitude, ｜Re[$\chi$NL($\omega$-$\omega$o)]｜, of the dispersive component (real part) of the nonlinear susceptibility induced by the pump beam, and the line shape recorded therefore exhibits a fully resolved technique and a dual phase lock-in amplifier, we have demonstrated the dip as narrow as 3 MHz in the laser-induced birefringence spectrum of the Na D1 line (natural linewidth 10 MHz). Possible spectroscopic applications are considered.

Visible light-sensitive $TiO_2$ and ZnO nanostructure materials have attracted great attention as the promising material for solar energy conversion systems such as photocatalysts for water splitting and environmental purification as well as nano-biosensors. Success of their applications relies on how to control their surface state behaviors related to the exciton dynamics and optoelectronic properties. In this paper, we briefly review some recent works on single nanoparticle photoluminescence (PL) technique and its application to observation of their surface state behaviors which are raveled by the conventional ensemble-averaged spectroscopic techniques. This review provides an opportunity to understand the temporal and spatial heterogeneities within an individual nanostructure, allowing for the potential use of single-nanoparticle approaches in studies of their photoenergy conversion and nano-scale optical biosensing.

Structural changes of cellulosic fibres during the papermaking process were studied by analysis of FTIR spectra collected by the transmission method. The spectra were obtained from a carefully prepared handsheet, using a special infra-red (IR) cell suitable for evacuating the sample. The deconvolution technique was also applied for sharpening the FTIR spectra in the frequency range of the OH and CH stretching bands, which gave detailed information on the structural changes of cellulose. The intensity of some bands was decreased by predrying the sample as a result of the removal of adsorbed moisture. An increase in intensity of some bands in the frequency range of 3700 to $3200cm^{-1}$ was shown at a higher beating level. This increase in intensity was caused by changes in the crystal domain of cellulose resulting from the exposure of the crystalline area on the fibre surface.

Purpose： To investigate whether there are significant changes in regional brain metabolism in patients with Parkinson's disease after thalamotomy using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS). Materials and methods： Fifteen patients with Parkinson's disease of mean age 56.5 years (7 males and 8 females； mean age, 56.5 years) that have treated with levodopa were included. All patients with tremor experienced amelioration of their symptoms on the side contralateral to the thalamotomy. As a single-voxel technique, 1H MR spectra were obtained from the volume of interested regions in thalamus and primary motor cortex. Spectral parameters were： 20 ms TE, 2000 ms TR, 128 averages, 2500 Hz spectral width, and 2048 data points.

An innovative real-time weld monitoring technique using chromatic filtering of the thermal radiation from a weld pool is developed. The thermal radiation from the weld pool is focused on an aperture and the transmitted thermal radiation is monitored at two wavelengths with high-speed single-element detectors. Due to the chromatic aberration introduced in the focusing optics, the transmittance curve of thermal radiation varies by the wavelength. Owing to this difference in the transmittance, the local variation of thermal radiation from the weld pool can be monitored by processing the two spectroscopic signals from two detectors. In this paper, the algorithms to monitor the laser power on the weld specimen and the focus shift we investigated and the performances of laser power and focus monitoring are shown for a pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding. The monitoring of the weld pool size variation is also discussed.

We develop Mueller-matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry based on dual compensator configuration. This technique is very powerful for measuring surface anisotropy in nano-scale, especially when materials show depolarization. Dual-rotating compensator configuration is adopted with the rotational ratio of 5:3 originally developed by Collins et al[1]. The instrument can provide 250-point spectra over the wavelength range from 230 nm to 820 nm in one irradiance waveform with minimum acquisition time of Tc=10 s. In this work, the results obtained in transmission modes are presented for the initial attempt. We present calibration procedures to diagnose the system from the utilized data collected in transmission mode without sample. We expect that the instrument will have important applications in thin films and surfaces that have anisotropy and inhomogeneity.

Spinel ferrite thin films Fe3-x MnxO4 (x=0.000, 0.006, 0.0010, 0.015, 0.023) were prepared on the coverglass by ferrite plating technique. To investigate the uniaxial anisotrpy of the samples, the saturation and effective magnetization of the thin films were measured by VSM(vibrating sample magnetometer) and FMR(ferromagnetic resonance) measurements respectively. The spectroscopic splitting g factor were estimated from the ferromagnetic resonance curves. For x=0.000, 0.006, the effective magnetization was measured of temperatures form T=77 K to T=300 K. The results were analyzed in terms of Bloch's law Ms(T) = Ms(0) (1-BT3/2-CT5/2). The Bloch coefficient B, C were determined by fitting. Ms(0) was obtained by extrapolating Meff to 0 K. From this result, the spin wave stiffness constants D was also determined.
