The phonon energy of YVO_4 crystal is lower than other usual compounds of salt. So it is suitable as host material for down-conversion materials. Hydrothermal method was adopted to synthesize YVO_4 phosphor powder with the use of yttrium oxide and sodium vanadate as raw material. The change in the relative integral intensity of the (200) and (112) diffraction peaks indicates that macroscopic stress in the lattice obviously changes with the elevated hydrothermal reaction temperature. The YVO_4 phosphor powder synthesized involves a certain agglomeration of small particles. The phonon vibration in the YVO_4 originates mainly from the internal vibrations in the vanadium-oxygen tetrahedron, in addition to the Y-O and O-H vibrations. Due to a low phonon energy of only 2.8188 × 10^{-21} J, YVO_4 helps to improve the down-conversion efficiency of rare-earth ions. A bandgap value of approximately 3.8 eV for the synthesized YVO_4 powders leads to good absorption properties in the ultraviolet region. Upon excitation by the 320 nm ultraviolet photon, the intrinsic emission of YVO_4 powders is annihilated, and a broadband emission of VO_4^{3-} near 450 nm is observed at room temperature. The YVO_4 phosphor powder synthesized at 180C exhibits the maximum photoluminescence intensity because of its excellent crystallization.

Scanning tunneling microscopy and optical spectroscopy techniques have been utilized to investigate the formation of ordered organic monolayer films on the (001) face of silicon. Cyclopentene and 1,5-cyclooctadiene both produce monolayer films that are ordered translationally and rotationally. The rotational orientations of the molecules arise from the directional interaction of the π orbitals of the starting alkene with the π orbital of the dimers comprising the reconstructed Si(001) surface, with the Si(001) surface acting as a template for determining the directionality of molecules in the subsequent organic film. Using single-domain Si(001) samples, it is shown that the molecular films also exhibit anisotropy in optical properties when measured on centimeter length scales.

ZnO nanowires doped with Mg have been successfully prepared on Au-coated Si (111) substrates using chemical vapor deposition method with a mixture of ZnO, Mg, and activated carbon powders as reactants at 850°C. The structural, compositional, morphological and optical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The nanowires are single crystalline in nature and preferentially grow up along [0001] direction with the average diameter and length of about 60 nm and several hundred micrometers, respectively, thinner and longer than the results of literature using the similar method. Room temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy shows a blueshift from the bulk band gap emission, which can be attributed to Mg doping that were detected by energy dispersive X-ray analysis EDX in the nanowires. Finally, the possible growth mechanism of crystalline ZnO nanowires is discussed briefly.

The objective was to study the pathogenesis of contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis (CL-GPC). Materials and Methods: Twenty-one biopsies of conjunctival giant papillae were obtained from soft contact lens wearers. The tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Sections of 5 mum thickness were used for studies of histology and immunohistochemistry of pan-B and pan-T cell distributions. Results: Conjunctival epitheliums on the top of conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue typically lacked goblet cells. Lymphocytes from underlying lymphoid follicle were pressed into intra-epithelial 'pockets' formed through epithelial invagination. Under the follicle-associated epithelium, pan-B cells were mostly gathered in the central folliclar area and intraepithelial pockets, while CD3-positive T cells were predominantly distributed in parafolliclar region, but only a few in the intraepithelial pockets. Conclusions: Membranous epithelial cells (M cells) play a key role in the pathogenesis of CL-GPC for the binding and translocation of antigen and pathogen.
