Laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (LICF) spectra and fluorescence induction kinetics (FIK) curves of wheat plant leaves treated with different concentrations (50, 100 and 200 ppm) of dimethoate are recorded. LICF spectra are recorded in the region of 650-780 nm using violet diode laser (405 nm) and FIK curve at 685 and 730 nm with red diode laser (635 nm) for excitation. The fluorescence intensity ratios (FIR) are determined from LICF spectra and vitality index (R(fd)) from FIK curves. These parameters along with photosynthetic pigment contents and growth parameters are used to analyze the effect of dimethoate on wheat plants. The result indicates that lower concentration of 50 ppm shows stimulatory response while higher concentrations of dimethoate are hazardous for growth, photosynthetic pigments and activity of wheat plants.

This paper is an extension of the work published in Journal of Fluorescence (2011) 21: 785-791. In the previous work, we studied the effect of dimethoate (50, 100 and 200 ppm) on growth and photosynthetic activity of wheat seedlings after 10 days of dimethoate treatment. In the present study, new measurement conditions (dimethoate concentration: 25 ppm, treatment period: 20 days and 30 days) were used in addition to those used in the past work.

Elucidating the structure of electrolyte/electrode interfaces is of essential importance not only for understanding of the fundamental process of electrochemistry but also for developing next-generation rechargeable batteries. In this study, we applied HD-VSFG spectroscopy to study a prototypical non-aqueous electrochemical interface of a platinum electrode in 0.1 M LiCFSO acetonitrile (CHCN) solution, and measured Im χ spectra by changing the applied potential in the range of -0.

In the current paper, ion transport parameters in poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) based solid polymer electrolyte were examined using Trukhan model successfully. The desired amount of lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCFSO) was dissolved in PVA host polymer to synthesis of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). Ion transport parameters such as mobility (μ), diffusion coefficient (), and charge carrier number density () are investigated in detail using impedance spectroscopy.

The structure of electrolyte solutions plays an important role in the lithium-ion intercalation reaction at graphite negative electrodes. The solvation structure of an electrolyte solution in bulk has been investigated previously. However, the structure of an electrolyte solution at the graphite negative electrode/electrolyte solution interface, where the lithium-ion intercalation reaction occurs is more important.
