Abstract The influence of radiation damage on a number of lattice vibration parameters in two SiO2 modifications was investigated using IR reflectance spectroscopy. The radiation kinetics of changes in spectral characteristics
of SiO2 fundamental vibrations in crystalline and glassy states were determined. The reflectivity coefficient and the frequency of
degenerate vibrations as functions of dose showed minima, the locations of which were governed by the type of sample. At high
neutron irradiation doses (1021 cm−2), certain characteristics of the bands had the same values for both modified materials. Features of the radiation kinetics
of sample dynamic parameters were determined. It was deduced that the specific character of the observed radiation-induced
changes in spectral and dynamic parameters of vibrations near degenerate modes was due to both the accumulation of radiation
damage and a change in the force field surrounding bridging bonds, which is related to a change in the SiO2 structure.

Abstract We have studied the interaction between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene and anthracene) with human serum albumin
(HSA) and human blood plasma. We have shown that the increase in the fluorescence intensity and the decrease in the polarity
index of pyrene on going from an aqueous solution to a pH 7.4 buffer solution of HSA suggests that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
are localized in the hydrophobic microphase of the proteins. The increase in the fluorescence intensity for anthracene and
pyrene, and also the decrease in the polarity index of pyrene on going from HSA to blood plasma is connected with the fact
that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can bind both to plasma proteins and to plasma lipids. When sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
is added to the blood plasma in a concentration greater than the critical micelle concentration, we observe an increase in
the fluorescence intensity and the polarity index of pyrene. We hypothesize that this is connected with localization of pyrene
near the interface between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic phases of the protein-SDS system. We have established that SDS
leads to a change in the structure of blood plasma proteins and promotes escape of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the
protein globules.

Abstract Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) of Bi2Ge3O9, Bi4Ge3O12, and Bi12GeO20 and the primary components Bi2O3 and GeO2 was studied under x-ray excitation. Thermal activation energies and frequency factors of trapping centers in the studied
ceramics were determined. The relationships of TSL bands of the studied ceramics with maxima at 141–145 and 166–170 K and
damage to the Ge sublattice and of TSL bands with maxima at 104–110 and 180–190 K and recombination processes in the Bi sublattice
were demonstrated. Recombination processes causing luminescence upon nonequilibrium charge carrier release from trapping centers
occur in structural complexes of similar configuration that contain the Bi ion in a nearest environment of O atoms.

Abstract The medium susceptibility related to stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is known to be a complex value whose imaginary part
determines the SRS gain coefficient whereas the real part constitutes a small fraction of the refractive index at the frequencies
of the scattered emission that is proportional to the intensity of the exciting beam. Strong transverse nonuniformity of this
beam causes focusing of high-frequency components of the scattered light and defocusing of low-frequency ones that inevitably
affect their amplification efficiency. The effect for Gaussian pumping is responsible for a slight shift of the SRS gain spectrum
towards higher frequencies. The present work analyzes theoretically SRS excited by a Bessel light beam and demonstrates that
the axial component of the scattered emission experiences a frequency shift that is much greater than that for the case of
Gaussian beam pumping.

Abstract A method for verification of analytical measurements in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry using a phenomenological
model for physicochemical atomization processes is discussed. The influence of the sample matrix on basic kinetic parameters
of atomization such as the analyte free-atom formation energy and the atomization rate constant has been shown. The similarity
of atomization kinetic parameters obtained by calibrating the spectrometer to those for samples under study can be used as
a verification criterion for analysis.

Abstract The expediency of refining some basic concepts of the common theory of interaction between an electromagnetic field and a
substance using a quasi-classical model for the phenomena of absorption and emission of energy and Raman scattering (RS) is
considered. The use of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for obtaining the transition probability constants is discussed.
A new model that describes the intensities of the RS lines and involves the explicit introduction of the perturbation operator
for the RS spectrum is proposed.

Abstract We have studied the effect of bombardment by Cu+ and Ti+ ions with energy 30 keV on the optical absorption and luminescence of F centers in oxygen-deficient aluminum oxide. We have
shown that in the induced optical absorption spectra there are six components of gaussian shape, which can be assigned to
absorption bands of F+, F2, and F2+ centers. We have established that bombardment of the samples by ion beams has a weak effect on the thermoluminescence parameters
in the 3.0 eV and 2.4 eV bands, while in the 3.8 eV luminescence band for F+ centers, the thermoluminescent response increases considerably.

Abstract Composite copper-containing carbon nanosized structures were synthesized in the plasma of a pulsed electrical discharge, initiated
between two graphite electrodes in an aqueous copper chloride solution. We studied the effect of laser radiation on the morphology
of the nanoparticles formed, whose properties we studied by optical absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
We discuss the mechanisms for nanoparticle formation in a discharge submerged in a liquid, and the possibilities for laser-induced
modification of the nanoparticles. We estimated the temperature of the nanoparticles when exposed to laser radiation pulses.

Abstract For an ensemble of different types of luminescence centers with overlapping absorption bands, with no restrictions on the
optical densities, we have obtained relations describing the luminescence excitation spectra for each type of center. We consider
transformations of the relations in some limiting cases. We suggest a procedure for using the equations obtained to determine
the characteristics of the luminescence centers. Some of these procedures have been experimentally implemented in study of
intrinsic radiation color centers in lithium fluoride crystals. We have determined the ratios of the luminescence quantum
yields for F2 and F3+ color centers, and we have observed that a major role is played by nonradiative transitions in deactivation of the first
excited singlet state of F3+ centers.

Abstract White light emission is shown to be obtainable at room temperature through the mixing of poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVC) host
fluorescence with fac-tris(2-phenylpyridyl)Ir(III) [Ir(ppy)3] and bis[2-(2′-benzothienyl)pyridinato-N,C3′](acetylacetonate)iridium (III) [Btp2Ir(acac)] dopant phosphorescence whereas at very low temperature through the superposition of poly-N-epoxypropyl-3,6-dibromocarbazole
(3,6-DBrPEPC) host and Btp2Ir(acac) dopant phosphorescence emissions. The balance between basic colors is adjusted by the variation of triplet-emitter
dopant concentrations. Spin-allowed singlet-singlet energy transfer from the host to iridium chelate dopants by the Forster
mechanism is the dominant process in PVC. Spin-forbidden triplet-singlet transfer by the Forster mechanism from the host to
the dopant occurs at low temperatures in 3,6-DBrPEPC due to strong spin-orbit coupling induced by the heavy bromine atoms.
Spin-allowed transfer from the same host’s triplet excited state to the iridium chelate occurs via electron exchange at high
temperatures.

Abstract A measurement procedure is proposed to retrieve the profiles of atmospheric aerosol backscatter coefficients (βa) from the results of multi-wavelength sounding of the atmosphere by a laser location system based on a Nd: YAG-laser. The
procedure uses a regression dependence between spectral values of βa (background aerosol model) and involves the determination of coefficients which characterize the relative spectral behavior
of aerosol extinction. The stability of the procedure to spatial variations of the above coefficients, a deviation of βa from the dependence used, and calibration and measurement errors is examined. This procedure is compared with the widely
used Fernald method by means of a numeric experiment. This procedure is demonstrated to be effective for retrieving vertical
profiles of β a in the troposphere, especially in the short-wavelength region.

Abstract Oscillation conditions were determined for acoustically distributed feedback (ADFB) lasers based on gyrotropic uniaxial and
cubic crystals. The lasing threshold was shown to be higher for the modes with clockwise polarization than for those with
counterclockwise polarization. It is established that the regions of maximal amplification for clockwise (counterwise) waves
of the gyrotropic crystal are displaced in the direction of decreased (increased) phase detuning, respectively, relative to
amplification regions that correspond to the absence of crystal gyrotropy. The ADFB laser was shown to be capable of generating
at the Bragg frequency.

Abstract The molar extinction coefficient, oscillator strength, natural fluorescence lifetime, and fluorescence quantum yield have
been determined for 9,10-diiodoanthracene in ethanol at 20°C. The temperature effect on the quantum yield was studied in the
range 120–300 K. The fluorescence lifetime was measured at 77 K. During glassification of ethanol, the fluorescence intensity
of 9,10-diiodoanthracene increases by more than 50 times due to the activation nature of the intersystem crossing from the
S1(1B2u+) state. The activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the probability of the intersystem {ie319-01}-crossing are found.
The long-wavelength shift of the absorption spectrum with increasing bulk polarizability of the solvent is interpreted as
evidence of changes in the nonspecific interactions.

Abstract We have used the absorption spectra of whole blood, erythrocytes, and plasma to study photochemical reactions initiated by
exposure of blood in vivo to UV radiation (UV irradiation) in the UV-visible and IR regions of the spectrum. We have established
that when blood is exposed to therapeutic doses of UV radiation (0.5 J/cm2), the absorption of blood proteins decreases as monitored using the UV absorption and luminescence bands of the proteins;
photochemical reactions are initiated in the protein and heme components of the hemoglobin. For the studied doses, the reversible
reaction of photodissociation of hemoglobin complexes with oxygen is one of the most likely primary reactions initiated by
UV irradiation of blood. We conclude that changes in the position and relative intensities of the IR absorption bands of the
peptide groups (stretching and bending vibrations of NH, CN, and CO bonds) may be due to conformational transitions in the
blood protein macromolecules, induced with a change in the intermolecular hydrogen bonds on absorption of the UV radiation
by the blood. The changes in the absorption spectra of blood initiated by UV irradiation are compared with the results of
laboratory blood analyses.

Abstract We have used 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy to study the composition of pine resin balsams from Scotch pines grown in different regions of the Republic
of Belarus. We have established that their chemical composition does not depend very much on the region where they are grown
or the level of contamination of the forests by radioactive and industrial emissions. Prolonged storage of the balsams leads
to a substantial change in their compositions, due to isomerization of the resin acids.
