The formation of carbonaccous particulates in a co-flow laminar diffusion flame has been studied using UV-visible spectroscopy and laser scattering/extinction techniques for measurements of volume fractions and particle sizes. Measurements were performed in a non-smoking ethylene-air flame at atmospheric pressure. UV-visible spectroscopy allowed the identification of two classes of particles: soot particles, which absorb light in the whole spectral range and nano-organic carbon particles (NOC) which are transparent to the visible radiation. The mean size of nano-organic carbon particles was estimated to be about 2-3 nm. This agreed with previous results obtained in rich premixed flames with equivalence ratios across the soot formation threshold. The experimental results indicate that nano-organic carbon particles are formed in the fuel side of the flame front closer to the flame centre line than soot particles and with a concentration level comparable to that of soot. The intermediate spatial location of these particles between the fuel- and soot-containing regions and their high concentration in flame suggest that soot formation is just the consequence of coagulation of NOC particles without a major role of surface growth in the soot loading process.

Nano-organic carbon and soot particle measurements in a laminar ethylene diffusion flame D'anna, A.; Rolando, A.; Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Minutolo, P.; D'alessio, A. (2004-01-01) The formation of carbonaceous particulates in a co-flow laminar diffusion flame was studied using UV-visible spectroscopy and laser scattering/extinction techniques for measurements of volume fraction and particle sizes. Measurements were performed in a non-smoking ethylene-air flame at 1 atm. The mean size of nano organic carbon particles was ∼ 2-3 nm, which was in agreement with previous results obtained in rich premixed flames with equivalence ratios across the soot formation threshold. Nano-organic carb...
Spectroscopic measurements of electron temperature and electron density in electron beam plasma generator based on collisional radiative model Goktas, H.; Demir, A.; Kacar, E.; Hegazy, H.; Turan, Raşit; Oke, G.; Seyhan, A. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) The current work describes a spectroscopic method for determining the electron temperature and electron density in an electron beam generator using argon spectral lines based on a collisional radiative model. Neutral and first-ionized Ar lines emitted from the electron beam generator are studied experimentally. A collisional radiative code was developed to simulate the Ar (I) and Ar (II) spectral emission and to compare the results with the experimental data for electron density and temperature determinatio...
Empirical Comparison of Random and Periodic Surface Light-Trapping Structures for Ultrathin Silicon Photovoltaics BRANHAM, Matthew; HSU, WeiCsun; Yerci, Selçuk; LOOMİS, James; BORİSKİNA, Svetlana; HOARD, Brittany; HAN, Sang Eon; EBONG, Abasifreke; CHEN, Gang (2016-06-01) Pyramidal light-trapping structures of a range of length scales — and both periodic and random arrangements — are shown to yield similarly high absorption in thin film crystalline silicon photovoltaics. Through the combination of results from experiment and simulation, the trade-off between absorption effectiveness and ease of fabrication of various pyramidal light-trapping structures is investigated for application in thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells.
Optical characterization of Ga2SeS layered crystals by transmission, reflection and ellipsometry IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2015-07-10) Optical properties of Ga2SeS crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by transmission, reflection and ellipsometry measurements. Analysis of the transmission and reflection measurements performed in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm at room temperature indicated the presence of indirect and direct transitions with 2.28 eV and 2.38 eV band gap energies. Ellipsometry measurements were carried out in the 1.2-6.0 eV spectral region to get information about optical constants, real and imaginary part...
Optoelectrochemical properties of the copolymer of 2,5-di(4-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrole monomer with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene AK, Metin; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Akhmedo, Dris M.; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-30) Copolymer of 2,5-di(4-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrole (MTNP) with 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) was electro-chemically synthesized and characterized via cyclic voltammetry, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, conductivity measurements. Spectroelectrochemical investigations showed that resulting copolymer film has distinct electrochromic properties. It has five different colors (dark purple, red, light grey, green, blue). At the neutral state m due to...
