Room-Temperature Solid-Matrix Luminescence Spectroscopy of Pyrene and 1-Hydroxypyrene from Optically Clear Sugar Glasses

Room-temperature solid-matrix luminescence was investigated for two model compounds pyrene and 1-hydroxypyrene from optically clear sugar glasses. Several glasses were investigated. Novel glasses were prepared for the first time from binary mixtures of sugars for spectroscopy. Glasses were prepared from glucose/xylose and glucose/maltose. The glucose/maltose gave a superior glass compared to glucose/xylose. The glucose/maltose glass gave the best room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) for pyrene compared to glasses of glucose and maltose without a heavy atom. The RTP was weak for both pyrene and 1-hydroxypyrene without a heavy atom in the glucose glass. The addition of a heavy atom (12% NaI) gave a 44-fold increase in RTP of pyrene and a 10-fold increase in the RTP of 1-hydroxypyrene. Room temperature fluorescence (RTF) of pyrene and 1-hydroxypyrene were easily observed from all the glass systems studied. However, the pyrene RTF intensity varied with the different sugar glass systems studied. Furthermore, a polymer, polyacrylic acid (PAA), was added to the sugar matrix at the level of 1% and 2% to improve the rigidity of the glass matrix. The observed phosphorescence was weak for pyrene at both the 1% and 2% PAA concentrations. A glass prepared with 2% PAA gave the strongest RTP for pyrene. Addition of 12% NaI with 1% polyacrylic acid did improve the RTP of pyrene but it was less than the RTP of pyrene from a glucose glass with 12% NaI by a factor of 2.7. A glucose glass with 12% NaI was the best system for RTP of pyrene.

Thermally stimulated current and electrical conduction in metal (1)-ethyl cellulose-metal (1)/(2) systems

Depolarization current characteristics of solution grown pure ethyl cellulose (EC) films of about 20μm thickness have been studied as a function of electrode materials at constant poling field (5 × 10⁴ V/cm) and poling temperature 40°C. Thermally stimulated current (TSC) thermograms of EC consists of two well resolved peaks (located at 60°C and 140°C) for Al-Al system, which are attributed to the deorientation of strongly attached ethoxy groups of glycosidal units and diffusion of space charges either at electrodes or due to their thermal release at higher temperatures from the defect levels. For dissimilar electrode combinations (Al-Ag/Cu/Au/Sn/Pb), an indication of peak of lower magnitude at around (50–70°C) alongwith a higher temperature peak (140–155°C), have been observed. TSC parameters are found to change with the choice of electrode material. The dependence of dark current at 40°C in metal-ethyl cellulose-metal systems on applied voltage in the range (2·0–5·0) × 10⁴V/cm has also been studied. The results of current-voltage measurement on EC have been interpreted to show that the Schottky-Richardson mechanism is the controlling transport mechanism. Zero field current density extrapolated fromI-E ^1/2 plots are found to vary with metal work function.     

Relaxation phenomena and structural modifications of substituted polythiophenes during the p-doping processes. An electrochemical and morphological study

Electrodes modified by polythiophenes bearing different substituents have been prepared and the behaviour of the conducting polymers has been studied with respect to the structural phenomena occurring in the correspondence to the doping and the relevant undoping processes. The effects of experimental parameters, such as undoping potential and time, have been investigated. The steric hindrance of the substituents on the polymer chain is demonstrated to play a fundamental role in determining the extent of compactness of the film, as induced by polarisation of the electrode at potentials at which the previously charged polymer is neutralised. Such a conclusion is in accordance with prediction of the electrochemical stimulated conformational relaxation model. Electrochemical AFM measurements have been performed in order to acquire a direct view of the morphological modifications of the polymer coatings during the reduction.
