Investigation on the upconversion luminescence and ratiometric thermal sensing of SrWO:Yb/RE (RE = Ho/Er) phosphors.

SrWO phosphors doped with Ho(Er)/Yb are successfully prepared by a high temperature solid-state reaction method. The upconversion (UC) luminescence properties of all the samples have been investigated under 980 nm excitation. Strong green emissions are obtained in the SrWO:Yb/Ho and SrWO:Yb/Er samples with the naked eyes.

Multi-Source Knowledge Reasoning for Data-Driven IoT Security.

Nowadays, there are different kinds of public knowledge bases for cyber security vulnerability and threat intelligence which can be used for IoT security threat analysis. However, the heterogeneity of these knowledge bases and the complexity of the IoT environments make network security situation awareness and threat assessment difficult. In this paper, we integrate vulnerabilities, weaknesses, affected platforms, tactics, attack techniques, and attack patterns into a coherent set of links.

Efficient upconversion emission and high-sensitivity thermometry of BaInO:Yb/Tm/RE (RE = Er, Ho) phosphor.

BaInO:Yb/Tm/RE (RE = Er, Ho) upconversion (UC) phosphors were synthesized the sol-gel method. Rietveld refinement based on XRD data proved that In ions were replaced by rare earth (RE) ions. Under 980 nm excitation, UC and optical temperature-sensing properties were investigated, and the results indicated that the samples demonstrated high UC emission efficiencies and bright emission visible to the naked eye.

Upconversion luminescence and temperature sensing characteristics of Yb/Tm:KLa(MoO) phosphors.

Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped KLa(MoO4)2 phosphors are synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Under 980 nm excitation, the upconversion (UC) emission spectra of the phosphors are observed. The temperature sensing characteristic based on the fluorescence intensity ratio is studied.

A comparative study of the interaction of two structurally analogue ruthenium(II) complexes with DNA.

The binding of the ruthenium(II) complexes of [Ru(bpy)2(CAIP)]Cl2 and [Ru(bpy)2(HCIP)]Cl2 (where bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, CAIP=4-carboxyl-imidado[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline, HCIP=3-hydroxyl-4-carboxyl-imidado[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline) to calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been investigated with UV-visible and emission spectroscopy, steady-state emission quenching, and viscosity measurements. The experimental results indicate that the two complexes bind to ct-DNA through an intercalative mode and [Ru(bpy)2(HCIP)]2+ intercalates into DNA more deeply than [Ru(bpy)2(CAIP)]2+ does.

Luminescent pH sensing and DNA binding properties of a novel ruthenium(II) complex.

A new Ru(II) complex, [Ru(bpy)(2)(dhipH3)](ClO4)(2) (in which bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, dhipH(3)=3,4-dihydroxy-imidado[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized, and the pH effect on the emission spectra of the complex was studied. The interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA was investigated by UV-visible and emission spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that the complex acted as a sensitive luminescent pH sensor and a strong ct-DNA intercalator with an intrinsic binding constant of (4.

The pH-induced emission switching and interesting DNA-binding properties of a novel dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex.

A novel dinuclear Ru(II) complex, [(bpy)(2)Ru(ebipcH(2))Ru(bpy)(2)](ClO(4))(4), where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and ebipcH(2) = N-ethyl-4,7-bis([1,10]-phenanthroline[5,6-f]imidazol-2-yl)carbazole, has been newly synthesized. The pH effects on UV-vis absorption and emission spectra of the complex are studied, and ground- and excited-state ionization constants of the complex are derived. The binding of the complex to calf thymus (ct) DNA is investigated with absorption and luminescence titrations, steady-state emission quenching, and viscosity measurements.
