Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation is a promising method for removing persistent organic pollutants from water because of its low cost (see solar-driven photocatalysis), high mineralisation of pollutants, and low environmental impact. Photocatalysts based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently attracting high scientific interest due to their unique electrical, mechanical, and optical properties. A MoS2 photocatalyst of the layered structure was managed to photodegrade methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The catalyst was thoroughly characterised using SEM, AFM, powder XRD, UV-Vis, Raman, and XPS measurements. The photocatalytic degradation of the MB solution was conducted under the following conditions: (i) reductive and (ii) oxidative. The impact of optical and electronic properties, and the MoS2-MB interaction on photocatalytic activity, was discussed. The apparent rate constants (kapp) of degradation were 3.7 × 10-3; 7.7 × 10-3; 81.7 × 10-3 min-1 for photolysis, oxidative photocatalysis, and reductive photocatalysis. Comparison of the degradation efficiency of MB in reductive and oxidative processes indicates the important role of the reaction with the surface electron. In the oxidation process, oxygen reacts with an electron to form a superoxide anion radical involved in further transformations of the dye, whereas, in the reduction process, the addition of an electron destabilises the chromophore ring and leads to its rupture.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is a layered material with interesting photocatalytic properties. In this study, a layered MoS2 was produced using a hydrothermal method. The obtained material was characterised by XRD (X-ray diffraction), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS (dynamic light scattering), and zeta potential analysis. For the evaluation of the photocatalytic properties of layered MoS2, a solution of bromophenol blue (BPB) and the catalyst was illuminated for 120 minutes. According to the experimental results, MoS2 exhibited excellent catalytic activity in BPB degradation. The MoS2 preparation method enabled improved light harvesting, avoided fast charge recombination (related to bulk MoS2), and created a large number of suitable electron transfer sites for photocatalytic reactions. Simulation of BPB decay and bromide production was carried out for a further understanding of MoS2 photocatalytic action. The simulation results proved the reduction mechanism of BPB photodegradation. Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is a layered material with interesting photocatalytic properties.![]()

Abstract
(1) Background: The shrinkage of water resources, as well as the deterioration of its quality as a result of industrial human activities, requires a comprehensive approach relative to its protection. Advanced oxidation processes show high potential for the degradation of organic pollutants in water and wastewater. TiO2 is the most popular photocatalyst because of its oxidizing ability, chemical stability and low cost. The major drawback of using it in powdered form is the difficulty of separation from the reaction mixture. The solution to this problem may be immobilization on a support (glass beads, molecular sieves, etc.). In order to avoid these difficulties, the authors propose to prepare a catalyst as a titanium plate covered with an oxide layer obtained with laser treatment. (2) Methods: In the present work, we generated titanium oxide structures using a cheap and fast method based on femtosecond laser pulses. The structurized plates were tested in the reaction of methylene blue (MB) degradation under UVA irradiation (365 nm). The photocatalytic activity and kinetic properties for the degradation of MB are provided. (3) Results: Studies of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm a titanium oxide layer with laser-induced generated structures that are called “spikes” and “herringbones”. The structurized plates were effective photocatalysts, and their activity depends on the structure of the oxide layer (spike and herringbone). (4) Conclusions: The immobilization of the catalyst on a solid support can be performed in a fast and reproducible manner by using the technique of laser ablation. The layers obtained with this method have been shown to have catalytic properties.

Abstract
In this work, the diffraction of a Gaussian beam on a volume phase grating was researched theoretically and numerically. The proposed method is based on rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) and Fourier transform. The Gaussian beam is decomposed into plane waves using the Fourier transform. The number of plane waves is determined using the sampling theorem. The complex reflected and transmitted amplitudes are calculated for each RCWA plane wave. The distribution of the fields along the grating for the reflected and transmitted waves is determined using inverse Fourier transform. The powers of the reflected and transmitted waves are determined based on these distributions. Our method shows that the energy conservation law is satisfied for the phase grating. That is, the power of the incident Gaussian beam is equal to the sum of the powers of the reflected and transmitted beams. It is demonstration of our approach correctness. The numerous studies have shown that the spatial shapes of the reflected and transmitted beams differ from the Gaussian beam under resonance. In additional, the waveguide mode appears also in the grating. The spatial forms of the reflected and transmitted beams are Gaussian in the absence of resonance. It was found that the width of the resonance curves is wider for the Gaussian beam than for the plane wave. However, the spectral and angular sensitivities are the same as for the plane wave. The resonant wavelengths are slightly different for the plane wave and the Gaussian beam. Numerical calculations for four refractive index modulation coefficients of the grating medium were carried out by the proposed method. The widths of the resonance curves decrease with the increasing in the refractive index modulation. Moreover, the reflection coefficient also increases.

Abstract
A capability for effective tissue reparation is a living requirement for all multicellular organisms. Bone exits as a precisely orchestrated balance of bioactivities of bone forming osteoblasts and bone resorbing osteoclasts. The main feature of osteoblasts is their capability to produce massive extracellular matrix enriched with calcium phosphate minerals. Hydroxyapatite and its composites represent the most common form of bone mineral providing mechanical strength and significant osteoinductive properties. Herein, hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite functionalized composite scaffolds based on electrospun polycaprolactone have been successfully fabricated. Physicochemical properties, biocompatibility and osteoinductivity of generated matrices have been validated. Both the hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite containing polycaprolactone composite scaffolds demonstrated good biocompatibility towards mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, the presence of both hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite nanoparticles increased scaffolds' wettability. Furthermore, incorporation of fluorapatite nanoparticles enhanced the ability of the composite scaffolds to interact and support the mesenchymal stem cells attachment to their surfaces as compared to hydroxyapatite enriched composite scaffolds. The study of osteoinductive properties showed the capacity of fluorapatite and hydroxyapatite containing composite scaffolds to potentiate the stimulation of early stages of mesenchymal stem cells' osteoblast differentiation. Therefore, polycaprolactone based composite scaffolds functionalized with fluorapatite nanoparticles generates a promising platform for future bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The resonant excitation of surface plasmon–polariton waves in metal gratings with rectangular and sinusoidal relief was studied. The main characteristics of the resonant excitation of a surface plasmon–polariton wave were obtained using analytical methods due to the fact that the resonance is excited at a grating thickness much smaller than a wavelength (1.064 µm). It is shown that the obtained results are very close to those calculated using numerical methods, e.g., Rigorous Coupled Wave Approach (RCWA). There is a small difference in the numerical data defined by both methods. The difference between the parameters for the two types of gratings is small. New analytical relationships of angular and spectral sensitivities with the change of the refractive index of the medium were obtained, depending on the grating period and the angle of incidence of the light beam. An analytical relationship between the spectral and angular widths of the resonant curves, at full width at half maximum, was determined.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles were synthesized with the laser-assisted wet chemical approach at room temperature. The effect of light exposure on the silver nanoparticles' spatial parameters shaping the localized surface plasmon resonance has been evaluated. The optical, structural and morphological characterizations of the Ag nanostructures were conducted with UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometry, DLS and TEM techniques. The ability of the light-modified Ag nanostructures for energy conversion under the influence of 445 and 880 nm laser radiation is estimated. We have found that the most efficient heat generation can be achieved using triangular Ag nanostructures under the NIR irradiation (880 nm). The temperature effect on the Ag nanostructures' antibacterial properties has been evaluated against the Staphylococcus aureus population. The prospects of triangular Ag nanostructures' application on modern endodontics for the rapid nano-laser disinfection of the root canal system of the human tooth have been demonstrated.

Abstract
The recent studies on fluorapatite and hydroxyapatite, in the context of their medical applications, have shown that the former has relatively higher thermal stability and better mechanical properties than the latter. Moreover, the presence of fluoride ions is relevant for protection of teeth from dental caries since they stimulate processes of mineralization and crystallization. In this report, a silver modified fluorapatite (FAP/Ag), considered as a novel biomedical compound, was tested for its bactericidal, fungicidal and cytotoxicity activity. All these features were compared to the impact of pure FAP and were evaluated against the bacteria and fungi strains, which constitute main pathogenic species among orthopedic clinical isolates of implant-associated infections. Generally, considerable increase in the antimicrobial activity was observed when silver modified fluorapatite was compared to the pure material. This was manifested among others by disturbance of cell growth pattern and various deformations in the final cell shape as revealed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Regarding toxicity nowadays as a major issue in implantation, we additionally examined whether the Ag+ ions have an impact on human keratinocytes and mouse fibroblasts using a cytotoxicity assay. To conclude, owing to a great bactericidal potential without collateral cytotoxicity effect the fluorapatite doped with silver ions may be considered a promising biocomponent useful in medical and healthcare applications.

Abstract
In the present study, diamond-like carbon films with embedded Ag nanoparticles (DLC:Ag) were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. Structure of the films was investigated by Raman scattering spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy was used to define thickness of DLC:Ag films as well as to study the surface morphology and size distribution of Ag nanoparticles. Optical absorbance and reflectance spectra of the films were studied in the 180-1100-nm range. Air annealing effects on structure and optical properties of the DLC:Ag were investigated. Annealing temperatures were varied in the 180-400 °C range. Changes of size and shape of the Ag nanoclusters took place due to agglomeration. It was found that air annealing of DLC:Ag films can result in graphitization following destruction of the DLC matrix. Additional activation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect in DLC:Ag films can be achieved by properly selecting annealing conditions. Annealing resulted in blueshift as well as significant narrowing of the plasmonic absorbance and reflectance peaks. Moreover, quadrupole surface plasmon resonance peaks appeared. Modeling of absorption spectra of the nanoclusters depending on the shape and surrounding media has been carried out.

Abstract
One-step TiO2 nanoparticle synthesis based on the interaction between thiourea and metatitanic acid is applied for sulfur and carbon anatase codoping. The synthesis of the doped TiO2 has been monitored by means of differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TG), which allows determining the optimal thermal conditions for the process. Electron microscopy showed micrometer-sized (5-15 μm) randomly distributed crystal aggregates, consisting of many 15-40-nm TiO2 nanoparticles. The obtained phase composition and chemical states of the doping elements are analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). XRD displays in both samples (doped and pristine) the existence of only one crystalline phase-the tetragonal modification of TiO2-anatase. Further data assessment by means of Rietveld refinement allowed detection of a slight c lattice parameter and volume increase related to incorporation of the doping elements. XPS demonstrated the presence of carbon and sulfur as doping elements in the material. It was confirmed that carbon is in elemental form and also present in oxygen-containing compounds, which are adsorbed on the particle surface. The binding energy for sulfur electron core shell corresponds to the established data for sulfate compounds, where sulfur is in 6+ oxidation state. The synthesized S- and C-codoped TiO2 showed excellent photocatalytic performance during the degradation of organic dyes (rhodamine B, methylene blue), gas-phase oxidation of ethanol under visible light, and photocatalytic hydrogen generation from ethanol under ultraviolet light.

Abstract
Diamond-like carbon nanocomposite films with embedded silver nanoparticles are considered experimentally (spectroellipsometric characterization) and theoretically (modeling of optical properties). Metallic nanocomposite films were synthesized by reactive magnetron sputtering and were studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The optical constants of the films were determined from spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements and were modeled using the Maxwell-Garnett approximations. Comparison between the extended and renormalized Maxwell-Garnett theory was conducted. Surface plasmon resonance peak have been found to be strongly dependent on the shape of nanoparticles and interaction between them.
