Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy experiments have been carried to study the structure of sodium silicate glasses (SiO)(NaO), where X ranges from 0 to 45 at room temperature. The MD-obtained glass structures have been subjected to energy minimization at zero temperature to extract the elastic constants also obtained by BLS spectroscopy. The structures obtained are in good agreement with the structural experimental data realized by different techniques. The simulations show that the values of the elastic constants as a function of X (i.e., NaO mol %) agree well with those measured by BLS spectroscopy. The variations of elastic constants C and C as a function of NaO mol % are discussed and correlated to structural results and potential energies of oxygen atoms.

A method to detect camphor gas is considered indispensable in the pharmaceutical industry. Unfortunately, the available sensors to detect the presence of camphor in the air are very limited and still on a laboratory scale, such as using chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The research's main focus is to obtain a portable sensing system with excellent sensitivity and selectivity.

The response of soft materials to an imposed oscillatory stress is typically frequency dependent, with the most utilized frequency range falling in the range of 10-10 rad/s. In contrast to most conventional contact techniques for measuring material elasticity, like tensile or shear rheology and atomic force microscopy, or invasive techniques using probes, such as microrheology, Brillouin light spectroscopy (BLS) offers an optical, noncontact, label-free, submicron resolution and three-dimensional (3D) mapping approach to access the mechanical moduli at GHz frequencies. Currently, the correlation between the experimental viscoelastic (at lower frequencies) and elastic (at higher frequencies) moduli has fundamental and practical relevance, but remains unclear.

Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectroscopy is a non-invasive, non-contact, label-free optical technique that can provide information on the mechanical properties of a material on the sub-micron scale. Over the last decade it has seen increased applications in the life sciences, driven by the observed significance of mechanical properties in biological processes, the realization of more sensitive BLS spectrometers and its extension to an imaging modality. As with other spectroscopic techniques, BLS measurements not only detect signals characteristic of the investigated sample, but also of the experimental apparatus, and can be significantly affected by measurement conditions.

Combining machine learning with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is a promising solution for quantitatively analyzing heavy metal elements in soil. However, the implied linear and nonlinear interferences between spectral intensities and elemental concentrations are difficult to quantify by a single model, thus degrading the prediction performance for low-concentration elements. This paper presents a novel combined spectral variable selection and fusion modeling framework for quantitative analysis of heavy metal elements in soil XRF, which consists of the proposed Particle Swarm Optimization-based Competitive Adaptive Re-weighted Sampling (PSO-CARS) by adaptive decay strategy and Dual Principal Component Analysis-based broad learning system (BLS-Net).
