A poly(1-hexyl-3,4-dimethyl-2,5-pyrrolylene) (PHDP) was prepared and its luminescence in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was studied. When PHDP is excited by UV light, it produces very strong blue luminescence. The quantum yield of PHDP (Q = 36.9%) is much greater than that of the monomer, 1-hexyl-3,4-dimethylpyrrole (HDP) with Q = 0.61%. The principal luminescence of PHDP has a single decay component with ca. 1 ns, whereas the decay of HDP is complicated. The molecular structure and conformational behavior of HDP and the oligomers up to trimer have been also determined by ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31$G^{**}$), density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP/6-31$G^{**}$), and semiempirical (ZINDO) methods. According to the results of calculations, it is proposed that the enhanced quantum yield of the polymer PHDP results mostly from the ${\pi}$-conjugation between neighboring pyrrole rings.

We report Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods synthesis and electrochemical luminescence (ECL) cell fabrication. The ECL cell was fabricated using the electrode of ZnO nanorods and Ru(II) complex ($Ru(bpy)_3{^{2+}}$) as a luminescence materials. The fabricated ECL cell is composed of F-doped $SnO_2$ (FTO) glass/ Ru(II)/ZnO nanorods/FTO glass. The highest intensity of the emitting light was obtained at the wavelength of ~620 nm which corresponds to dark-orange color. At a bias voltage of 3V, the measured ECL efficiencies were 5 $cd/m^2$ for cell without ZnO nanorod, 145 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$5{\mu}m$, 208 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$8{\mu}m$ and 275 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$10{\mu}m$, respectively. At a bias voltage of 3.5V, the use of ZnO nanorods increases ECL intensities by about 3 times compared to the typical ECL cell without the use of ZnO nanorods.

The electrochemical luminescence (ECL) device was investigated, which has similar structure to the dye-sensitized solar cell. The structure of the ECL cell in this experiment reliably induces a large amount of the oxidation around electrodes. The band gap of the ECL electrode is of 3.0 - 3.2 eV. Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanoparticle has following properties: a band gap of 3.4 eV, a low-priced material, and 002 preferred orientation (Z-axis). Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorod is easy to grow in a vertical direction. In this paper, in order to determine material suitable for the ECL device, the properties of various materials for electrodes of ECL devices such as ZnO nanorod (ZnO-NR) and $TiO_2$ nanoparticle ($TiO_2-NP$) were compared. The threshold voltage of the light emission of the ZnO-NR was 2.0 V which is lower than 2.5 V of $TiO_2-NP$. In the other hand, the luminance of $TiO_2-NP$ was $44.66cd/m^2$ and was higher than that of $34cd/m^2$ of ZnO-NR at the same applied voltage of 4 V. Based on the experimental results, we could conclude that $TiO_2-NP$ is a more suitable electrode material in ECL device than the ZnO-NR.

Gamma-irradiation (0-7 kGy) of ginseng is permitted in Korea for the purpose of microbial decontamination; with strict labeling, traceability and monitoring requirements. An identification study was conducted to determine the photostimulated-luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of gamma-irradiated fresh and white ginsengs cultivated in different areas. Dose- dependent PSL-based screening was possible for white ginseng samples; however, inappropriate results from non-irradiated fresh ginseng samples were obtained, showing intermediate (700 to 5,000) or positive ($T_2$ >5,000, irradiated) PSL counts due to the abundance of minerals on the surfaces of the samples. TL analysis of separated minerals from all non-irradiated samples gave TL glow curves of low intensity with a maximum peak after $300^{\circ}C$. However, well-defined irradiation-specific (high intensity with a maximum peak at about $200^{\circ}C$) glow curves were observed for all the irradiated samples, regardless of their type and origins. TL ratios (first glow curve /second glow curve) were also determined to confirm the irradiated (>0.1) and non-irradiated (<0.1) results. SEM-EDX (scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) spectroscopic analyses showed that feldspar and quartz minerals were the main source for the typical radiation-specific luminescence properties.

This study has been carried out with the eight HPHT processed NOUV diamonds - two yellow, two yellowish green, two green and two orangy yellow color stones. The gemological properties of these diamonds included a highly saturated body color, graphitized fractures around the girdles, tension cracks around crystalline inclusions, long-wave UV with medium yellowish green to a very strong yellowish green luminescence, and short-wave UV with faint yellowish green to a strong yellowish green luminescence. Distinctive features of spectroscopic properties include absorption peaks at 415 nm and 503 nm a strong absorption band at $460{\sim}480nm$ and a H2 center at 986nm. Infrared spectra showed an absorption peak at $1344cm^{-1}$ (C center), which is the characteristics related to single substitutional nitrogen.

The luminescence of bismuth and cerium doped yttrium aluminum based Phosphors $Y_{3}$/Al$_{5}$/O$_{12}$ and (Y$_{0.8}$/Gd$_{0.2}$)$_3$Al$_{5}$/O$_{12}$ prepared by a solid-state reaction method were studied. These samples which were fired at 1, 20$0^{\circ}C$ show the characteristic X-ray diffraction patters for the main phase(420) of YAG. This study indicates that the both flux and remained bismuth after the firing phosphor materials give rise to affect the photoluminescence properties. Therefore, it was investigated that both the XRD patterns arid the PL properties were affected by the controlling experimental process variables.riables.les.

In this paper, we have investigated chemical, mechanical and structural properties by changing the content of carbon nanotube, Which is a component part of semiconductive shield in underground power transmission cable. The multi luminescence spectrometer MLA-GOLDS was used to investigate chemical properties of specimens. Also, the density meter EW-200SG was used to investigate the mechanical properties of specimens, and the FE-SEM S-4300 in Hitachi was used for dispersion of CNT(Carbon nanotube). As a result, the cl intensity, which show the effect of oxidation, was decreased by CNT of 1 [wt%], and the density of semiconductive shield materials with CNT and EEA(Ethylene Ethyl Acrylate) is lower than that for commercial semiconductive shield materials. Also, the properties of dispersion showed an increase according to an increase in the ratio of CNT, and the properties were the best at 5 wt%. Therefore, excellent chemical, mechanical and structural properties can be improved with the small amount of CNT.
