Er(3+) activated germanate glasses modified by La2O3 and Y2O3 with good thermal stability were prepared. 2.7 μm fluorescence was observed and corresponding radiative properties were investigated. A detailed discussion of J-O parameters has been carried out based on absorption spectra and Judd-Ofelt theory. The peak emission cross sections of La2O3 and Y2O3 modified germanate glass are (14.3 ± 0.10) × 10(-21) cm(2) and (15.4 ± 0.10) × 10(-21) cm(2), respectively. Non-radiative relaxation rate constants and energy transfer coefficients of (4)I11/2 and (4)I13/2 levels have been obtained and discussed to understand the 2.7 μm fluorescence behavior. Moreover, the energy transfer processes of (4)I11/2 and (4)I13/2 level were quantitatively analyzed according to Dexter's theory and Inokuti-Hirayama model. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the observed 2.7 μm fluorescence phenomena. Results demonstrate that the Y2O3 modified germanate glass, which possesses more excellent spectroscopic properties than La2O3 modified germanate glass, might be an attractive candidate for mid-infrared laser.

There are few explorations that have integrated multiple properties into photonic microobjects in a facile and controlled manner. In this work, we present a straightforward method to integrate different functions into individual photonic microobject. Droplet-based microfluidics was used to produce uniform droplets of an aqueous dispersion of monodispersed SiO nanoparticles (NPs).

A fluorescent and colorimetric poly (acrylamide)-based copolymer probe has been designed via free radical polymerization of a commercial acrylamide monomer with a rhodamine-functionalized monomer . Metal ion selectivity of was investigated by fluorescence and colorimetric spectrophotometry. Upon addition of Fe, a visual color change from colorless to red and a large fluorescence enhancement were observed for the ring-opening of the rhodamine spirolactam mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly viral disease that has recently spread to areas where it was previously eliminated, causing significant impacts on swine populations.
- In response, researchers developed two fluorescent rapid tests to enhance the diagnosis of ASF by detecting viral antigens and specific antibodies in swine blood.
- These new tests outperformed existing commercial assays, improving detection rates significantly between 11 and 39 days post-infection, which could help identify infected animals more effectively at various stages of the disease.

Monitoring of extracellular matrix (ECM) microstructure is essential in studying structure-associated cellular processes, improving cellular function, and for ensuring sufficient mechanical integrity in engineered tissues. This paper describes a novel method to study the microscale alignment of the matrix in engineered tissue scaffolds (ETS) that are usually composed of a variety of biomacromolecules derived by cells. First, a trained loading function was derived from Raman spectra of highly aligned native tissue via principal component analysis (PCA), where prominent changes associated with specific Raman bands (e.

The Z-type Ag/AgPO/MIL-101(Cr) heterojunction photocatalyst (referred to as AAM-x) was successfully prepared by a simple in situ precipitation method. The photocatalytic activity of the AAM-x samples was evaluated using a common tetracycline (TC) antibiotic. All AAM-x materials are more effective in removing TC than AgPO and MIL-101(Cr).
