Aerosol complex refractive index (ACRI) has attracted intensive attentions due to its significance in modeling aerosol radiative effects. Determinations of ACRI from surface measurements of aerosol scattering and absorption coefficients as well as number size distributions during June, 2008 based on an iterative Mie algorithm were performed. The aim of our study was to introduce an inversion approach with the merits of high time-resolutions to retrieve the optically effective ACRI, especially its imaginary part. Based on simultaneous measurements of aerosol characteristics, mean ACRI value of 1.50 ( ± 0.34)-i0.025 ( ± 0.015) at 550 nm in Hefei in summer was deducted. The lower imaginary parts with higher single scattering albedos and lower scattering Angstrom exponents were obtained for haze periods compared with nonhaze conditions with similar air-mass back-trajectories, indicating more large and scattering particles contributing to the formation of haze episodes. The derived imaginary parts of ACRI related to agricultural biomass burning were in the range from 0.013 to 0.029 at 550 nm. Significant negative correlations between retrieved imaginary parts of ACRI and measured single scattering albedos indicate that our retrieval approach is a reasonable method for determining the imaginary parts of complex refractive indices of aerosol particles.

This paper introduces a novel contactless single-chip detector that utilizes impedance-to-digital conversion technology to measure impedance in the microfluidic channel or capillary format analytical device. The detector is designed to operate similarly to capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detectors for capillary electrophoresis or chromatography but with the added capability of performing frequency sweeps up to 200 kHz. At each recorded data point, impedance and phase-shift data can be extracted, which can be used to generate impedance versus frequency plots, or phase-shift versus frequency plots.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring renewable energy sources like solar cell technology to replace fossil fuels and reduce environmental impacts, focusing on lead-free halide perovskite compounds CsXInBr (where X is Cu or Ag).
- The study found that CsAgInBr and CsCuInBr compounds exhibit desirable properties for solar applications, with calculated optical gaps and high absorption coefficients, particularly noting CsCuInBr's effectiveness in absorbing sunlight due to its high infrared absorption.
- The analysis utilized the Abinit computational package and density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the electronic, structural, and optical characteristics of these compounds, framing potential applications in solar cells and detectors.

The Galerkin approach for numerically resolving higher-order Complex Differential Equations (CDEs) in a rectangular domain in the complex plane is presented in this work. Taylor polynomial functions are used in this method as basis or weighted functions. The CDE is converted into a matrix equation by employing the proposed method.

By linking the real and imaginary parts of the multi-wavelength complex function via the KK relation, the method captures object light waves with the full effective bandwidth from a single interferogram and reference wave intensity. This method greatly improves spectral utilization and measurement accuracy in multi-wavelength interference.
