  • Electronic Spectroscopy of Free Base Porphyrins and Metalloporphyrins
    Absorption and Fluorescence Spectroscopy of Tetraphenylporphyrin§ and Metallo-Tetraphenylporphyrin Introduction The word porphyrin is derived from the Greek porphura meaning purple, and all porphyrins are intensely coloured1. Porphyrins comprise an important class of molecules that serve nature in a variety of ways. The Metalloporphyrin ring is found in a variety of important biological system where it is the active component of the system or in some ways intimately connected with the activity of the system. Many of these porphyrins synthesized are the basic structure of biological porphyrins which are the active sites of numerous proteins, whose functions range from oxygen transfer and storage (hemoglobin and myoglobin) to electron transfer (cytochrome c, cytochrome oxidase) to energy conversion (chlorophyll). They also have been proven to be efficient sensitizers and catalyst in a number of chemical and photochemical processes especially photodynamic therapy (PDT). The diversity of their functions is due in part to the variety of metals that bind in the “pocket” of the porphyrin ring system (Fig. 1). Figure 1. Metallated Tetraphenylporphyrin Upon metalation the porphyrin ring system deprotonates, forming a dianionic ligand (Fig. 2). The metal ions behave as Lewis acids, accepting lone pairs of electrons ________________________________ § We all need to thank Jay Stephens for synthesizing the H2TPP 2 from the dianionic porphyrin ligand. Unlike most transition metal complexes, their color is due to absorption(s) within the porphyrin ligand involving the excitation of electrons from π to π* porphyrin ring orbitals. Figure 2. Synthesis of Zn(TPP) The electronic absorption spectrum of a typical porphyrin consists of a strong transition to the second excited state (S0 S2) at about 400 nm (the Soret or B band) and a weak transition to the first excited state (S0 S1) at about 550 nm (the Q band).

  • Resolving Interference Issues at Satellite Ground Stations
    Application Note Resolving Interference Issues at Satellite Ground Stations Introduction RF interference represents the single largest impact to robust satellite operation performance. Interference issues result in significant costs for the satellite operator due to loss of income when the signal is interrupted. Additional costs are also encountered to debug and fix communications problems. These issues also exert a price in terms of reputation for the satellite operator. According to an earlier survey by the Satellite Interference Reduction Group (SIRG), 93% of satellite operator respondents suffer from satellite interference at least once a year. More than half experience interference at least once per month, while 17% see interference continuously in their day-to-day operations. Over 500 satellite operators responded to this survey. Satellite Communications Overview Satellite earth stations form the ground segment of satellite communications. They contain one or more satellite antennas tuned to various frequency bands. Satellites are used for telephony, data, backhaul, broadcast, community antenna television (CATV), internet, and other services. Depending on the application, each satellite system may be receive only or constructed for both transmit and receive operations. A typical earth station is shown in figure 1. Figure 1. Satellite Earth Station Each satellite antenna system is composed of the antenna itself (parabola dish) along with various RF components for signal processing. The RF components comprise the satellite feed system. The feed system receives/transmits the signal from the dish to a horn antenna located on the feed network. The location of the receiver feed system can be seen in figure 2. The satellite signal is reflected from the parabolic surface and concentrated at the focus position.

  • Infrared Astronomy Break: Sara and Rebeka
    Astro 121, Spring 2014 Week 13 (April 24) Topic: Infrared astronomy Break: Sara and Rebeka Reading for this week: As we switch to looking at observing at wavelengths other than visible light, we’re moving beyond what Chromey covers. For this week, I’ve suggested reading from two sources. Glass gives a good introduction to the infrared and covers much of the practical material about filter systems, etc. McLean then fills in more details of practicalities of instrumentation for the infrared and how it is different from the optical. • Chromey briefly discusses the main broadband IR filter system in Section 10.4.3. • Glass, Handbook of Infrared Astronomy. In the same series as the book by Howell, this is a relatively new book with excellent coverage of infrared astronomy. Reading: Chapter 2 (The Infrared Sky); Chapter 3 (Photometry) through 3.2; and Chapter 6 (Instrumentation). You may also want to skim the rest of Chapter 3 and all of Chapter 4; they concentrate on applications of infrared photometry and spectroscopy, respectively. • McLean, Electronic Imaging in Astronomy (second edition). Ian McLean was one of the people most closely involved in the development and use of the early infrared arrays, and this is an area where this book stands out. Read Chapter 11, skipping pp. 400–404 (and in general reading the chapter for understanding of concepts rather than lots of details). One bit of physics that is worth reviewing for this week is the concept from thermodynamics that good absorbers are also good emitters, and correspondingly that the reflectivity R of some object is related to its emissivity ε by ε = 1 – R.

Colloidal suspensions of small silicon nanoparticles (diameter around 2 nm) with fast and efficient ultraviolet–blue photoluminescence (PL) band are fabricated by enhanced electrochemical etching of Si wafers. The detailed study of photoluminescence excitation spectra in a wide range of excitation photon energies (270–420 nm) reveals specific behavior of the Stokes shift of the fast PL band that agrees well with theoretical calculation of optical transitions in small silicon nanocrystals and is distinct from emission of silicon dioxide defects. Efficient photoluminescence (PL) of porous silicon (PSi)—first observed by Canham [1]— provoked intensive research on silicon-based nanocrystalline materials. There are mainly two types of PL emission in Si nanostructures at room temperature.

A key issue in this field is to unveil the unique reconstructed electronic structure, which successfully accommodates different orders and interactions to form a fertile ground for emergent phenomena. Here, we report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) evidence for two distinct band reconstructions in CsV3Sb5. The first one is characterized by the appearance of new electron energy band at low temperature. The new band is theoretically reproduced when the three dimensionality of the charge order [21-23] is considered for a band-folding along the out-of-plane direction. The second reconstruction is identified as a surface induced orbital-selective shift of the electron energy band. Our results provide the first evidence for the three dimensionality of the charge order in single-particle spectral function, highlighting the importance of long-range out-of-plane electronic correlations in this layered kagome superconductor.

These antennas are innovated to enable Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STAR) at same time and polarization, either at the same, or duplex frequencies. In airborne and shipborne platforms, developed antenna architectures may enhance the capabilities of modern electronic warfare systems by enabling concurrent electronic attack and electronic support operations. In space, and more precisely at geostationary orbit, designed antennas aim to decrease the complexity of conventional phased array systems, thereby increasing their capabilities and attractiveness.
