SOURCE APPORTIONMENT OF PAHS IN SEDIMENTS
USING FACTOR ANALYSIS BY TIME RECORDS:
APPLICATION TO LAKE MICHIGAN, U.S.ASpeakers:Dr. Erik R. Christensen
Department of Civil Engineering and Mechanics,
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI 53201, USAABSTRACTApportionment of sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by a factor analysis model based on time records for-seven sediment cores from central Lake Michigan is reconsidered to provide a more quantitative treatment, and one additional factor (source). The effect of mixing depth was observed on the unmixed fluxes, and a computer program was developed for estimation of the average P AH fluxes from the reconstructed P AH records. The new factor analysis model with nonnegative constraints includes not only scaling but also back scaling which improved the source apportionment significantly. One core, CLM-A, was an outlier and was omitted from the analysis. Wood Burning was identified as a third major source of PAHs in the area (20% of the total PAH flux). The other two sources petroleum (traffic), 45%, and coal (coke oven emissions), 35%, became more apparent, where the contributions are based on the sum of concentrations of sixteen PAH compounds. A reduced mixing depth (1.0 - 1.5 cm) was found to be more appropriate than the originally estimated mixing depth (1.5 - 2.0 cm).Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - rielian Hall, Room 156

UK.Visible and Infrared spectroscopy of nitride quantum wells and dotsABSTRACTThe speaker will describe some his recent research concerning the optical properties of semiconductor quantum wells and dots based on the wide gap Al/Ga/In nitride materials. Indium rich InGaN quantum dots have been grown on GaN by MOVPE and studied by AFM. The dots occur at low surface densities, are typically 20-30nm in diameter and 5nm in height, and they also have tendency to occur in closely spaced pairs. Macro and micro photoluminescence studies of these dots show emission due to the dots in the 2.5-2.9eV region of the spectrum and the presence of sharp spectral lines demonstrates the 1D nature of their electronic energy levels. The dot PL linewidth also show the effects of spectral diffusion due to the charging of defect levels in the underlying "wetting layer". The use of Schottky junctions to deplete the impurity levels and reduce this linewidth is discussed. After depletion in this way, the power dependent PL of individual dots reveals a complex energy spectrum dominated by the internal fields present in these wurtzite systems. Finally some recent results on near/mid infrared intersuband structures grown in the AlGaN/GaN system will be presented. These include first mid-infrared Quantum well infrared photoresponse in the 2-5micron region of the spectrum from a device fabricated in this system.September 15th, 2006
